Railroad Accidents.

As the fast mail rounded a curve near olyphant the engineer saw parties cross. ing long trestle in front of the ap preaching train. The whistle was blown, engine reversed and every effort made to stop the train, but in vain. The parties were struck and dashed to the ground several feet below. On stopping the train it was found that Orlando Howe and one son had been instantly killed, while another son was seriously injured, his spine being frac- tured. From the survivor it was learned that their home was in Little Rock. He says they heard the whistle and bell of the locomotive, but as the trestle was around a curve the train was upon them before they could jump.
 The body of an unknown white man. mangled beyond recognition, was found on the Texarkana and Fort Smith rail- road track three miles south of Texar- kama, having evidently been run down by train in the night. The remains were gathered and placed in an ordi- nary cracker box and buried at public expense. There was nothing found on the body that could give any possible clue to his identity
 Trainmen going out on the Fort Smith road found the body of dead man about one mile west of Fort Smith Crossing. The indications were that he had been instantly killed by falling from train during the night. There were no papers about his person or any means of recognition.
 K. O. Sandanger, farmer, had his foot crushed by an Iron Mountain train at Texarkana, and it was found neces- sary to amputate his leg. He died of bis injuries.

MAINE LEAGUE STANDING.

The Lewiston Belfast game In Lewiston June
10th was an exciting one, as the score, Lewiston
6, Belfast 5, will show. Although Belfast lost the
game the fact that small score was made
shows that there are able players on our team,
and that they had opponents worthy of their
STEEL or rather of their hickory and pig skin.
The contest not decided until the last half of
the ninth, when, after two were out, hits by
Lezotte and Sullivan, an error by Short stop
Reagan and base on balls scored the winning
run. Two runs were made by Belfast in the
eighth, by wild throw of Pitcher Kelley. Kelley
and Mcbride pitched a great game and both
teams played an excellent fielding game.

The last advices we had of the Bassick

says: ''Butterine must be legislated out
OF the United States,'' is the dictum of
the National Dairy union. The success

wants. 1t is common custom in England
to give servants an allowance of beer daily.
Her relatives and some others give the SER

spend for beer or not as they see fit. In
most cases the servants abandon the use of
the beer under this arrangement, and save
their money. The English woman always
gives her guests hearty welcome and good
fare, but never seems to put herself out to
entertain them.
