THE ETNA ACCIDENT.
Several of the Injured Still In Critical
Condition.

The reports from the injured in the
Etna accident are generally favorable. yet
it is feared that a few of those most
severely injured and now lying In a
critical condition, may not survive. A
few who were apparently getting along
nicely Monday, have shown unfavorable
symptoms since and are receiving all the
care and attention that loving relatives
and friends and the physicians and sur
geons can give.
John Corey of Newport, was reported
worse at ten O'Clock Tuesday. No callers
are allowed in the house and the physician
fears that congestion of the brain will re-
suit. He is very weak, but not as delirious
as on Monday.
Mrs. Preston Townsend is in such
agony from her injuries that she is kept
under the influence of ether. Tuesday
she vomited blood and her condition was
not as favorable as on Monday. Her son.
Fred W. Townsend, stated that his
mother was very i'll and it is quite evident
that her injuries are much more serious
than at first reported
Oscar Buffers of Newport whose face
juries to his back and knee, is also In a
critical condition. At his home this
morning it was said that he was fairly
comfortable a part of the night.
'a c. G. Smith of Abbott, who is at Daniel
Corey's home in Newport, was reported
pounds and had three ribs broken, two
fractured, and his shoulder broken. Be.
ing SO large and having so many broken
bones it is thought that his internal in
juries may be serious If not fatal.
Benjamin Glidden of Pittsfeld, who
is at the Sebasticook hotel, Newport, was
reported worse, Tuesday, and the
physicians in charge finds his injuries
much more serious than at first supposed.
George Stafford, Dexter, whose ribs al
though not fractured. were started on the
left side, has been in a critical condition
since Sunday night He at first thought
his injuries slight but it soon became ap-
parent that he was hurt internally. DR..
J. W. Sawyer, the physician in attend
ance, stated Monday night, at a late hour
that he regarded his patient most serious
ly hurt and he was fearful peritonitis
would develop.
G. G. Crowell of Corinna, who was cut
about the head and neck, found upon
reaching home, Sunday night, that he
had little realized the extent of his own
injuries. One boot was filed with blood
from gaping wound in his leg, and the
injuries to his back and shoulders have
made it difficult for him to move himself
much since. Drs. Redman and Tabor of
Corinna, have charge of his case and it is
understood they are employed by the rail
road company.
Mrs. George Leavitt of Palmyra, up to
Monday night, showed little, if any signs
of improvement.
G. W. Getchell of Newport, was reported
better, Tuesday morning. AT ten O'Clock
he was resting comfortably and his family
had more hope of his recovery than on
Monday.

KELLEY's RANCE.
His Life is Worth More Than That of
Most Murderers.

Joseph Kelley, who murdered Cashier
Joseph A.. Stickney, of the Great Falls
On. H. National bank. April 16 last,
was provident man before he became
criminal, and had his life insured for a
moderate sum. 1t is understood that he
insured in the Union Mutual of this city +,
and that he has kept his premiums paid
promptly and regularly since his arrest.
There seems to be no doubt that he will
be hanged, and he and his relatives I'M
doubtedly understand i. perfectly. AL
though he has just been brought before
the grand jury, and must yet be tried,
there seems no loophole of escape for him.
The Union Mutual will undoubtedly
be ready to pay the insurance as soon as
the execution has taken place, if there be
an execution.

THE CRANE. TRUNKS NEW BRIDGE

THE CRANE. TRUNKS NEW BRIDGE
Those who attend the carnival at Mag
ara Falls, TO be given by the manage
ment of the Grand Trunk railway on the
occasion of the official opening of the
new Niagara bridge, on September 49,, "a
and 25, will have an opportunity OF see
ing, in addition to the carnival features,
a bridge that is one of the marvels of
modern.engineering skill and an evidence
of the great progress in bridge construc-
ton of the past half century. The main
span Of the arch of the bridge is $50 feet
long, connected to the bluff on each side
of the river by trussed span 115 feet in
length. The arch contains $500. 900
pounds of steel castings, 1s2,143 pounds
of steel eyeDars and pins. and $4,000
pounds of wrought iron and turn buckles.
The former suspension bridge was sin
gle track structure, whereas the arch is
double track. The BRIDGE was designed
for each track to carry a load of two Loco
motives with 10000 pounds weight on
each of the four pair of drivers, followed
by train of $500 pounds per foot. In ad-
dition to this it is designed to carry q
load of $1,000 pounds per running foot on
the lower floor. The Pennsylvania Steel
Company were the contractors for the
material and erection Of the superstruo-
ture. The new arch was built under and
about the old suspension bridge. The
start was made from abutments let into
the rock faces of the gorge and continued
upon false work. This is the first steel
arch to span the Niagara gorge, and
causes. the removal of the. oldest landmark
in the way of bridges at the Falls. The
suspension bridge was completed in 1855.
The suspension structure as originally
constructed was of wood, the towers be-
ing of stone, and was built from designs
by the late John A. Roeb1ing. In 1880
the suspended structure WAS renewed in
steel, and in 1886 the stone towers also
gave way to towers of steel. The First
means of transportation across the gorge
was an iron basket, still insthe possession
of the Buffalo Historical Society. Pas
sengers were carried for 81 each, and it is
stated that the earnings of the basket
were on some days as high as $125. lsgg; y.
THE WASHINGTON COUNTY LIME
FLAMES Mitchell, who has been identified
with the construction of the Washington
county railroad, made short stay at
Machias Sunday while on trip across the
| coast. He said that work will be re-
sumed on the road in two or three weeks
and that men will be lined clear along
the route with picks and shovels and that
things will be pushed until snow flies.
He said that but for the recent improve
ment in financial circles of New York, he
would not have succeeded in raising the
money. He wore a broad smile and
new suit of clothes, and weighs 20 pounds
more than he did two months ago, which
is good evidence that he has raised the
wind. 4

Railroad extension from. Sterns's mills to

is the weapon with which she conquers her
world. Almost every woman believes that
she possesses at least some one attractive
feature and strives to make the most of that.
But mere regularity of feature is not the
most attractive form of beauty.
Mankind is more influenced by the bright
glowing vitality of perfect health. A classic
cast of countenance will not make woman
attractive and captivating, if she is pale,
thin, weak and nervous or has pimply
complexion or unwholesome breath
These complaints are due to imperfect
nutrition. The digestive and blood making
organs fail to extract the needed nourish-
ment from the food, and the liver is too slug
gish to cleanse the blood of bilious impuri-
ties. The entire constitution becomes weak
and poisoned.
The only perfect antidote for this state of
things is DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery. 1t gives power to the digestive and
nutritive organs to make an abundance Of
pure, rich, highly vitalized blood, which
per1neates the whole system with the sweet
ness of purity; the beauty of womanly vigor
and animation
1t creates solid, healthy flesh and natural
color; clears the complexion dispels wrink-
les: rounds out the form and imbues the
whole physique with the irresistible natural
magnetism of perfect health.
Miss Julia Ellis of Faith, Mclean Co., KY,
writes: AFTER suffering for a long while with
lingering disease, was advised tot try DR.. Pierces
