FELL ON Il HE TRACK.

Shortly after O'Clock yesterday after
noon some of the track crew of the
Maine Central railroad discovered a
young boy. of eight years lying motion
less on the railroad track, near the Reed
street crossing, Morrilrs corner. Upon
Investigation they found that the lad
was apparently in fainting fit. With
him was q companion of about the same
age.
DIR. H. S. Emery of Morrill's corner was
summoned and took the lad to his office
where it was found that he had been
seized with commissions. 1t appears from
the story told by the Boys that they left
their homes early in the day and took a
stroll into the country. Through the
day they ate heartily of green apples,
blueberrles, ETC., and this, coupled with
the exertion from walking in the hot sun,
forced the little fellow to succumb.
The boy gave..his name as Melvin Nc
Donald and said he lived with a brother
and widowed mother On Portland street.

PLAIN TALK.
Senator Hoar Rebukes an Unpatrioti,
Harvard Prof

Worcester, July 1s.-Upon receipt of
reply from Prof. Charles Eliot Norton to
his recent criticism of Prof. Norton's ut
terances before Harvard students in re.
gard to the war, Senator Hoar today
made public "a letter in which he says to
Prof. Norton:
whether they were literally reported
or not, they are in general accord, I am
sorry to say, with the sentiments I am
constantly in the habit Of hearing of as
coming from you, both in public utter
ances and private speech and of the style
with which used to be not unfamiliar
when occasionally met you. All lovers
OF Harvard, and all lovers of the country,
have felt for long time that your rela-
tions to the university made your in
fiuence bad for the college and bad for the
youth of the country. 1t was high time
that somebody should say what I have
said. could easily from my own memory
ana from the report of persons who have
met you on social occasions, point out
many utterances quite Gas deserving of
severe reproof as those to which I have
adverted. Lam afraid that the habit of
bitter and sneering speech, about persons
and public affairs, has SO grown upon you
that you do not yourself know, always,
what you say. I should be sorry to dc
you any injustice Indeed, it is not in
anybody's power to do you injustice but
yourself.

1T DROVE HIM INSANE.
Lieut.. Blandin's Wierd IPresentiment the
Evening of the Disa ster to the Maine at
Havana.

Lieut. John ]. Blandin, the latest vic
tim of the Maine disaster, who died Sat-
urday in an insane asylum at Baltimore,
used to tell the story of that awful night
of Feb. Is as follows according to the
New York Sun:
when the men had been piped below.
I looked down the main matches and over
the side of the ship Nothing seemed to
be out of the way and there was nothing
to arouse suspicion that there was any.
thing amiss, but had strange present.
iment that all was not right-one of those
wierd feeling that will come over man
at times which he cannot explain TO his
own satisfaction and which he feels
ashamed to mention to any one else be-
cause it seems foolish-like child being
afraid in the dark. l paced up and down
the deck, being on watch, trying to shake
off the feeling, and then walked aft to
| the quarter deck behind the rear turret,
that being permitted after o'clock at
| night. 1 sat down on the port side for a
few moments, but jumped up again,
shook myself as if to shake off ft of
| the blues that l felt was coming over
me, and moved over to the starboara
| side | sat down again, feeling GUM ils
before. Lieut.. Hood came up, but l did
not pay any attention to him; in fact, 1
| did not feel like saying any thing to any
| body. He noticed that / was unusually
quiet, and called out lahghingly:
| Hello, Blandin; nsleep?'
No, l answered, i am on watch.
! jr oho,, <>In
little later. No sooner had I spoken
than there came that awful roar with it's
pillar of fire. Then came sharp explo-
sion. The ship seemed to rise as If she
were riding wave, but trembled vic.
lently. She seemed to be torn asunder
Then came deluge of missiles of all
kinds-great blocks of cement torn from
the bottom of the ship, fragments of graft
ings, pieces OF steel ratings and deck fit
tings. A piece of cement struck me on
| the head and knocked me down. I was
| not much hurt and jumped up again.
Lieut.. Hood had run to the poop and
supposed, as followed, that he had been
daZed by the shock and was about to
jump overheard. I hailed him, and he
answered that he was going to help lower
the boats.
LESS than minute had elapsed whom
I got there, but l was wading i'll water
| up to my knees, and moment later the
quarter deck was awash. On the poop
found Capt Sigsbee, as cool as an iceberg.
All the officers except Merritt and poor
Jenkins, who were drowned, soon gath
cred there. Lieutenant Comm amer Vain
wright, now commanding the Gloucester,
was ordered forward by Capt. Sigshee to
| learn the extent of the damage and what
could be done to rescue the men. A few
moments later Mr.. Wainwright reported
the extent of the calamity. Then the Or
der, the saddest have ever heard, 'Aban.

Ward liner City of Washington and from
the Spanish ship Alfonso XIII aided in
saving the men. Capt. Sigsbee was th6
last man to leave the ship, and left in his
own gig"

LOWELL LATHERS.
They Are Seeking Big Tncrease of
Pay.

= Lowell, July 1s.-The local fathers did
not strike today as it is their intention to
finish up the jobs upon which they are
working before demanding the restora-
ton of last summer s rate of wages. They
expect to have these jobs completed by
Wednesday morning and will hold a
meeting Wednesday evening to take action
upon the matter. They are sanguine Of
winning their point without resorting to
a general strike
Their average rate of wages is 81 per
1000. They have already served notice up
on their employers that they demand ST. rs
per thousand this week. 1t is customary
to cut the rates in the fall when work is
SLICK and then to restore the old rate in
the spring The fathers attribute the
failure of the contractors to restore the
standard rhte this year to internal dis
sensions among the fathers where one
will work at cut rates for the sole purpose
of injuring another.

ENFORCING THE RULES.
Network Trade Uniouists Reproach Each
Other for Laxness,

New York July 1S.-The Central Labor
Union discussed the subject of non-union
cigars and non-union beer yesterday. and
it developed that many union men who
always insisted that only union-made
articles of their own trade should be
eaten and drunk and worn by every body
frequently used their own discretion when
making purchases, and bought non-union
goods whenever they deemed proper.
Delegats Brown of Cigarmakers' Inter
national Union No. 144, who also repre-
sented the Blue Label committee, said:
"We have been closely watching the
cigar stores to see that those dealers who
sell blue label cigars should not sell nom
union made cigars as we'll Ii they persist
in selling both, the union takes steps to
prevent them from getting blue label
cigars, as that is supposed to deprive
them of trade union mems custom. We
found that the Tin and Sheet Iron Work
ers' Union meets in hall where nom
union cigars are sold, and the memp ers
smoke those cigars"
Delegate Matthew Barr represents the
tin and sheet iron workers, and defended
MS union. We have leased the hall for
meetings." he said, land another tenant
prletor of the place has no control over
MIN, nor have we. So we cannot help
curse lves.'
Pm very sorry for Delegate Barr, "
said Brown, ssbut it is a fact that the
proprietor himself sells non-union cigars,
and Bars fellow.members smoke them.
Our committee knows many tin and
sheet iron workers, and they have often
seen them smoke scab cigars, and also
drink non-union beer. We've caught you
at last.
Caught, do you say9" asked Barr
angrily. care wo thievesP So far as
am concerned, for fear of by chance
smoking non-union cigar quit smok-
ing altogether, and smoke only pipe
now. Caught, indeedl That's adding
insult to injury"
Delegate Brown continued: "Brother
Bars excuse for smoking pipe is O
very lame one. We have seen his fellow
members smoking non-union cigars and
drinking non-union beer. We have
caught members of various unions at
those tricks, and we'll haul them up in
good time. -
The meeting decided that Barr himself
was innocent of any wrong doing, and
gave the blue label committee due credit
tor the manner in which it had carried
on its Investigations.

toned the competency of the court, on

h ED the competency of the court and M /.

resulting in the trial being adjourned,
pending the hearing of the appeal. The
appeal was rejected on June 16.
When the proceedings opened today the
ppplic prosecutor charged Nj. lola with
stunning the trial, to which his counsel
replied "We will not shun the trial if
we are allowed to bring our proofs. 81
His statement led to IL great uproar in
court, and cries of Clown with lola, ="
Down with the jews" "Out of France
with them.''

the trial while the defendants appealed
against the overruliug, Nj. Labori an
nouncrd that he would allow Judgment
by default, and the defendants left the
court.
The trial then proceeded. and resulted
in M. lola and M. Perreau being each sen.
