The steamer Croaton of the Clyde line,
bound from New York to Wilmington,
n. c., met with disaster at sea, fortu-
nately with small loss of life, only five
out of the twenty seven persons on
board losing their lives.
The Croaton was but twenty hours
out of New York going at a good rate of
speed when fireman came hurriedly on
deck and reported the ship was on fire.
A general alarm was given and an eff prt
was made to lower the boats but the
flames spread with such rapidity that
they could not be launched. In less
than ten minutes the ship was entirely
enveloped in flames.
The gallant captain after furnishing
life preservers gave orders for all hand g
to Jump overheard and save themselves
the best they could. The captain and
first mate were the last to leave the ship,
not leaving until the vessel had COM
menced to sink. The burning ship was
sighted by the schooner Alice L. Clark
of Portland which lay six miles off, and
her captain sent a boat crew to the
rescue. They succeeded in saving TWEEN
tv-two persons in a nearly exhausted
condition.
The Croatun is said to have been valued
at 100000. She was fully insured.

Rapid Transit.

A lady IN town seuds US the following
account Of an involuntary ride taken by
former resident OF SkoWh hogan as 1t APP
pears in the Great Falls, (Montana)
Daily Tribune Of recent date
Persons who arrived yesterday from
Neihart. tell the story Of the running
away of the train from that station.
Thursday evening, and the story shows
that the express agent, Herbert l.. Rob.
in.on, of this city, had a thrilling ride
and escaped death only by his coolness
IN setting the brakes on the coaches.
The train, consisting Of four freight
cars and three coaches, had been placed
on the wagon track at Neihart and the
engine had gone elsewhere. The coaches
were in front. About 6 o'clock. Mr..
Robinson stepped inside the baggage and
express car to arrange his bed. He felt
the train moving, but supposed that it
was being switched. As he stepped
QUITO the platform, intending to leave the
Car at the switch, he noticed that the en-
CINE WAS not attached aud that the train
was running away, having then attained
frightfu speed, down grade of 100
feet to the mile. There was still time
for him to jump, but instead, he set the
brakes on the express car and then, seiz-
ing stick that is used IN setting brakes,
he applied those on the coaches. The
speed of the train was such, however.
could not then check Ii. The train ran
about two miles, flying aroutd curves
safely. but finally a sharp curve was
struck and the two freight cars In the
rear went into the ditch. They were
smashed like glass and even the trucks
went to pieces. About - ties were torn
up and the ears piled upon one another
and over the mass of trucks in a broken
heap.
The express car, coaches aud other
cars, however, kept the track and ran
about two miles further. Then the
brakes overcame their speed aud they
were stopped. Mr.. Yule, who was
standing opposite the point at which the
two freight cars left the track, said that
as the coaches passed by, he could see
only sheet Of fire, flashing from the
brake-clutched wheels aud the train was
out of sight before the wrecked cars hit
the ground. The speed was beyond esti-
nation.
When the train stopped, Mr.. Robinson
walked back to Neihart, and WAS met by
about all the people of the town, who
had started down to look for the pieces
of his body.

Just AS soon as the men are all away,

the bed sacks will be empted OF the

that they cannot be thoroughly disn-

the blankets that were loaned to the
soldiers by the State will be taken to the

where they will be thoroughly dis

Then the hospital buildings will be

securing groups of paintings from we'll
known artists. To last years exhibit

tributed large number of aquarelles,
which were placed together and made a
group is sure to attract attention,
especially the figure subjects. They
combine the homelv strength and pathos
of the country in which the scenes are
laid. They vary in size and shape,
some being panels, Others oblong and in
the more usual sizes and shapes, so that
the effect of the group is diversified and
decorative. While none of the pictures
are large, the figures stand cut so boldly
that they convey the impression of
broad and vigorous treatment. There is
nothing uncertain in Mr.. Peppers treat
ment. His work is direct and strong,
and aside from the interesting choice Of
subj cts and environment, stands out for
its own sake. The group is highly sue
cessful and interesting Mr.. Pepper
has taken the degrees of A. B. and A. NJ.
from Colby College. He began the
study of art ten years ago and has
studied under Currier, Chase, Mowbry
and Constant, Laurens and Aman Jean

summer in this State and when he re-
turns 10 Paris, this month, will carry
several canvases of Maine sui iects for
