The Growing Popularity of New EngIand's
Lakes

Some day there will arise a poet or writer
who will do for New England's lakes what
other poets have done for the famous lakes of
Europe, and embalm their beauties and
attractions in enduring verse or prose. The
subject, as whole, is one that has not yet
been done full justice to in this respect and,
indeed, it is to be feared that the people of
New England themselves are not fully awake
to the value of this particular heritage that
Providence has bestowed upon them.
There is an indefinable charm attaching to
these aqueous gems of our mountains and
wildernesses that is slowly but surely begin
ming to impress itself upon the great vaca-
tion-seeking public, and the lakeside resorts
of New England are beginning to loom up
as formidable rivals to the more extensively
advertised, and hence more noted, seashore
resorts.
Such glorious lakes, for instance, as Winni-
pesaukee, Asquam, Sunapee, Newfound,
Spofford, Dublin or Willoughby, in New
Hampshire, have already reached secure
and superior footing as summer resorts, and
there are dozens of other lakes and lakelets,
some of them near at hand, others more or
less remote from the great centres of popula-
tion,-that are gradually coming into promi-
hence in this way. Then, too, there are
the myriad lakes of Maine and the glorious
waterways of the Green Mountain State, all
extending bright and smiling welcome to
those who prefer the people and semi-soli-
tude of lakeside outing TO the more vigor-
Gus atmosphere and restless spirit of the sea-
shore. For those who enjoy the pleasure of
/" camping-out," almost any of these places
offers unrivalled facilities.
Columns might be written in praise and
description of this department of outdoor
summer life in New England, but the best
medium of information to which the reader
can be referred is the attractive illustrated
pamphlet, "Lakes and Streams" which will
be sent on receipt of two-cent stamp. on appli-
cation TO ID. j. Flanders, General Passenger
agent, Boston & Maine Railroad, Boston.

Freight Wreck at WoOdsyiIle.

A freight train on the White Mountain
division of the Boston & Maine railroad was
wrecked by washout at point about four
miles north of Woodsville Tuesday morning
and three men were killed and the engine
and three cars We're badly wrecked.
The killed were Patrick Lennon, engineer.
OF Whiteheld, N. H.. Bert Pebbles, fireman,
of Woodsville; 0. E. Lang, brakeman, of
Berlin.
The wreck occurred about 2.30 O'Clock The
train which was known as No. was bound
northward and left at Woodsville o'clock.
1t was made up of IA cars, most of which
were heavily loaded. AT Poor's Brook, one
mile south of Bath, where the track is low,
the locomotive suddenly left the rails and
sank into lagoon formed by mud and wa'tr
beneath the track. The first half dozen cars
were also derailed and three of them de-
molished, and the contents scattered along
the road and in the water.
Lang, 1t is supposed, was on the engine or
else on one of the forward cars. tits thought
the engine plunged through the undermined
track without warning, as no attempt to
slacken the speed of the train was noted and
the locomotive found Judgement in the bed of
the pool. The heavy cars rushing on behiud
crushed into broken and twisted mass Of
debris. The three cars following the engine
were split apart and totally wrecked, caus-
ing considerable damage both to rolling stock
and to freight. The other cars which were
derailed were not badly damaged.
An investigation Of the wreck shows that
section of the track and road bed for a dis
tance of $50 feet was washed away by the
overflow of Poor's Brook during the night.
The rails, it is thought, were in position for
quite distance in front of the locomotive
when it reached the treacherous spot.
The washout was caused by cloudburst,
which passed over the section Monday. A
great volume of water fell in short time and
small streams overlooked low lands.

The Case Of William Connors,

The sad death of William Connors at
Drewsville June % continues to be a sub
ject of conversation. There are a good
number who will never believe, even grant
ing that MIR. Connors was killed by bot
tie, that the particular bottle picked I'D in
the yard and introduced in evidence at the
coroner's inquest was the one which
inflicted the wound. 1t is argued that it
is a physical impossibility that bottle sup
posed to have inflicted a wound six or
seven inches deep should have no blood
about the neck; especially as the bottle
was picked up within eight hours after the
accident happened, and there had been no
rain meantime.
1t is reported that the deceased carried
$4,000 insurance; also that the brothers
and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi.
neers are carrying on quiet investigation
1t is generally believed, however, that
the mystery of the death will perhaps never
be cleared.

day Night.
Patrick Corrigan and Harry Clement,
two men working with H. w.. Keene, dis
covered the body Of an infant in the Con-
necticut about 10 A. NJ. Thursday.
Wednesday evening new boom was COM
pleted near the F. M. P. Co., log yard on
the Walpole side of the river; Thursday
morning Corrigan and Clement were sent
to clear the boom Of any debris which
might have collected during the night, and
it was then that the body was found. Mr..
keene was notified, and he notified c.. j.
O'Neil who conferred with the selectmen
at Walpole. DR.. Matthews who happened
to be in North Walpole at the time was
called. The body was floating in the
water attached to shoe box in which it
had probably been placed before being
thrown into the river. About the neck
was piece of an old ragged bed covering !;
it was girl baby.
The body was taken to the Island House
and Thursday evening was taken to Wal
pole by Undertaken j. E. Keefe, and
buried by the direction of the town au-
thorities.
DR.. Matthews said it was probably
case OF premature birth, the child lacking
two or three months OF maturity. Air was
found in the lungs which shows that it
breathed little. There were no marks
of violence except on the forehead where
the skull was broken, but this might have
been done by the action of the water.
The authorities will investigate the case

Big Rain In Keene.

The thunder storm that struck Keene about
l p. NJ. Tuesday assumed the proportions of a
cloudburst and hurricane in a narrow section
of the town of Winchester.
The fury OF the storm was expended about
two miles east of the village on and near the
farm of Frank ii. Buffum. The storm came
on with only one or two minutes warning.
about p. NJ Windows were blown in and
the yards were strewn with large limbs of
trees. A window in tho tower was blown in.
and the force of the wind was such that the
wall opposite, 10 feet away, was wet to the
height of the casing.
Roads in the neighborhood were terribly
quilted, one near Padding hill to the depth Of
10 feet in one place. No rain fell at Byron
Cassey's farm, quarter of mile away
across the meadow, nut the Buffum buildings
were entirely obscured from view.
