STRANGLED TO DEATH.
A Little Two Year Old Boy Swallows a
Stud.

Samuel Goold Thoits, the two year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ferdinand A. Thoits,
1856 Brackett street, was playing about
the house Sunday, and during the morn
ing his brother came home and showed
the baby several small buttons which he
had bought The little fellow took them
and became greatly pleased with them
But in order that he might not put them
into his mouth and then swallow them
the brother took the buttons and placed
them in box thinking to hide them
from the sight of the little fellow. The
box was soon found by the baby, who
took out shirt waist stud which was in
with the buttons. The baby put the stud
into his mouth and swallowed it. Dr.
King and DR.. Marshall, who were called
in did all they could but in vain. In
twenty minutes after swallowing the stud
the child had ceased to breathe.

casco Bay Company and the Fleet

The Casco Bay company have a
grievance against the fleet. General
Manager Cooling was told by the officers
what ships would be opened to visitors
and they SO announced it in the papers.
When the steamers reached the ships they
were obliged several times to take their
passengers back to the city and refund
the ticket money as they were not allowed
to put their passengers on board. With go
many ships it would seem that there
could be DO reason why visitors could not
be allowed on board especially after they
were Invited by the officers to do so. Still
the Casco Bay company handled more
passengers last week than ever before in
the history of that popular company, not
an accident and but little loss of time on
any of the trips for the week.

Dover Races Lead.

The races at Dover few days ago at
the reopening of Granite State park were
in every way SO successful that the man
agement has again arranged for series
of events for the week beginning August
Both. The purses which have been made
include premiums for every class and a
large field is already entered.
1t is the intention of those interested
to make Granite State park one Of the
most prominent in the New England
circuit, and SO far the untiring efforts of
the promoters of the enterprise have met
with unequaled success, and the coming
meeting will rank second to none In
quality and quantity.
From August Both to September Sd, in.
elusive, the Boston and Maine railroad
will sell reduced rate tickets to Dover
from many of the stations. Information
can be obtained at ticket offices regarding
rates, ETC.

To Boston by Daylight.

These elegant excursions to Boston BY
the steamer fremont, leaving Franklin
wharf daily, including Sundays, are be-
ing largely patronized. There are few ex-
cursions that afford the pleasure and
complete rest that can be secured by these
inexpensive trips.
There is no buncombe in the expression
that they are invigorating. The seacoast
air is abundant in ozone and day spent
