A frightful rear-end collision occurred
at Sharon station, about thirty miles
from Boston, on the n. Y, v. H. and II.
K. r., at 15 Sunday evening, when an
express train crushed into passenger
train, killing six and injuring twenty
two some of which died of their injuries.
The two trains which were In the coils
ion were usually combined into one long
one but owing TO the heavy traffic of that
day it was run from Mansfield in two
sections, the first as a local train and the
other as an express leaving fifteen min
utes later The local lost thirteen min.
utes and had just stopped at Sharon for
passengers to get off when the express
crashed into it splitting the rear car
asunder and went five feet into the rear
of the second car. Sharon is situated on
a curve and the engineer did not notice
anything wrong untilswthin 400 feet of
the train when he did all in his power to
stop but the accident was then unavoid-
able. A large corps of surgeons and
nurses arrived soon after the accident
and everything possible was done to re-
ieve the suffering of the injured.

Work on the Park.

The ladies Of the Skowhegan Town
Improvement Society have completed
their work for the season on Goburn
Park, having expended their available
funds, about $500. In constructing a
roadway around the territory embraced
in the park, and IN trimming UP the
trees on the bank of the river. The
roadway is about One-third Of nile IN
length and for the greater part Of the
distance commands fiue views Of the
kennebec. The trimming out Of the
SUI plus trees and bushes and the lower
limbs of the trees on the high, slopng
banks of the river makes much difference
in the appearance of things, greatly i'm
proving the view, and aids in disclosing
the rare beauties of the situation
The ladies have made an excellent be-
ginning aud we hope they will succeed
in securing funds to continue the good
work. They purpose to begin planting
trees In the spring and there is ample space
and Opportunity for this work. Ii will
take some money TO beautify this park
a. it should be but good start has been
made aud the work must go along. The
town has had the use Of this ground for
Il years, and, of course. will be willing
to lay out what it has received as rental
therefor. That would be matter of
simple Justice.
Our town and vicinity is yearly be-
coming more attractive as a place Of
summer resort and the completion of
this park in a manner creditable TO the
town, would help along very materially
in this direction. The ladies who have
moved in this public enterprise, thus far,
are TO be congratulated aud thanked.
We believe they will not leave it with
the beginning.

The New York Tribune says that
among real estate men in that city dur
ing the past week nothing has been
more noteworthy than the confident
tone with which each and every broker
awaits the fall business. In almost
every Office there is tale to be told of
increasing inquiry for property of al
most every kind. AS the building in.
terests are so largely dependent upon
lumber, there is good reason for beliey-
ing that the increasing activity in build
ing and real estate must soon result in
an improved influence upon all depart
ments of the lumber industry through
out the country. Those interested in
the lumber industry will find encourage
ment for the future in the fact that
building operations in all the large cities
have received wonderful impetus by
the declaration of peace. This is very
acceptable information for Maine
lumbermen, and we rejoice that favors
are coming their way.

Mr.. Mckinney, who is running for
Congress on the Democratic ticket in the
First Maine district, has much to say
about the Dingley tariff. This" he is
represented as saying, sis what shuts
our manufacturers out of the foreign
markets and keeps them all at home.'
Mr.. Mckinney does not seem TO be aware,
or if he is aware he conceals the fact,
that the foreign trade of the United
States during the fiscal year just past
was the greatest in its history. The
exports were twice as great as the
imports, the balance of trade in our
favor was double that of the preceding
year, and the exports of manufactures
exceeded the imports of manufactures.
This does not look much like shutting
out our foreign markets. On the con-
trary, they are increasing for manufact-
ures as well as for natural products.

Etiquette at Nice.

One feature of life on the Riviera that
particularly strikes the sojourner from
this side of the Atlantic is the utter alb.
sence of the piazza life that is such an
institution at American summer and
winter resorts. a recent visitor at Nice
writes TO the New York Times: IA
man may show himself here on the
Promenade DIES Anglais, either on foot
or in coach, within certain we'll defined
hours and with well understood restric-
tions as to his costume. but he must
under no circumstances be seen sitting
in front of his own dwelling, be it villa
or hotel. The front of the premises
must be clean and we'll kept, with as
many plants and flowers as you like,
but there must be no array of comforta
BILE chairs and little tables, as we have
them, or any other outward sign, in
fact, that some one lives within and
some one who knows how to take life
comfortably. To sit in front of hotel
here after breakfast, smoking the cigar
of oontentment, would be a brazen def
apce of all social usages.

Portland Advertiser: 1.-THE return of
the sick Maine boys from Chickamauga,
yesterday, gave Adjutant Richards an
opportunity to prove to our people that
he is one of the most efficient officers in
the service of the State. Right here we
are moved TO remark that if other officers
in the nation service had shown half the
executive ability that General Richards
possesses there would have been no
occasion for hospital train from the
South.
