Ammunition for old Iron.

A cargo of shells, originally intended
for the use of Spanish guns in the war
with the United States, recently ar
rived at Glasgow, Scotland. The
charges had been extracted from them
and needy Spain took advantage of the
recent rise in the price of metal to get
hold of an honest penny by selling
them for old iron. The shells are of
all sizes.

A VERY UNFORTUNATE MAN.
DIR. S. t. Borgess., of Terra Alta, Has His
Right Arm Cut OFF BY Freight Train.

DIR. 5. Il. Borgess., of Terra Alta, Has His
Right Arm Cut of BY Freight Train.
DR.. 5. L. Borgess., unfortunate in
many respects, has another misfor-
tune to bear this morning which by
no means will tighten his burdens
through life.
He was brought to Oakland last
night at II O'Clock by the crew of an
east bound freight train suffering
from injuries received about an hour
previous at Fifty Eight Cut, Just east
of Hutton, and taken to the hospital
here where an examination of his
injuries revealed the fact that his
right arm was so badly mangled that
amputation was made necessary.
DIR. Borgess. boarded freight at
Terra Alta with the intention of COM
ing to Oakland. When passing
through Fifty Eight Cut he fell from
the train to the rails and before he
could move from his perilous position
the wheels passed over his right arm
at the elbow. He called vainly for
help but the roar of the cars drowned
his voice and he was left lying by the
side of the track until he was discov-
cred by young man named Shaffer
who, with the aid of some other men,
dragged him from the rails just in
time to escape being killed by another
train, which was stopped and the
injured man put aboard. He was
brought to Oakland and taken to the
hospital where Drs. Henry McComas
and M. G. limbaugh amputated his
arm at the shoulder.

A House Burned.

On Monday of last week wheu the
storm prevailing at that time was in
the heights of its fury the house be-
longing to Mr.. Isaac Blocher, situat-
ed about four miles west of Frostburg,
near the summit of Little Savage
mountain, in this county, was found
to be on fire. Strenuous efferts were
made by Mr.. Blocher to save his home
but the wind was so high and the
building being of wood it was an i'm
possibility to save anything and it
burned to the ground together with
all the furniture, etc. The family
consisted of Mr.. Blocher, his wife and
five children. Fortunately the family
found shelter with some neighbors
living near otherwise death would
surely have followed the work of the
fire. Mr.. Blocher has the sympathy
of the community in which he resides.
There was no insurance on the house
or its contents.

God for Wheat.

The wheat, which is already peep
ing out in patches from under the
snow, has evidently been greatly
benefited by its winter covering. As
a saying in the country goes, "Snow
is the poor mans fertilizer" On rich
land, as well as in sterile soil, the
wheat crop gets reset and a fresh
start while covered up in winters
white mantle. The present great
snow came just at the right time, the
farmers say, to do wheat the most
good after the alternate freezing and
thawing earlier in the winter, which
had badly thrown it out. This
snow found the ground very little
frozen, so that now as the snow melts
the roots have chance to take hold
again and reset themselves.

Skull Fractured.

One day last week Ira Napp, a
Pennsylvania, employed as lum-
herman by Clark & Mccullough, saw
mill operators at Friendsville, was
passing through the woods near
Friendsville on his way to work when
a large limb broke from the trunk of
a tree above his head and in descend
ing struck Napp above the right eye,
fracturing his skull and rendering
him unconscious. He was taken to
Friendsville and DR.. Ravenscroft, of
Accident, summoned to attend him.
The fractured bone created a pressure
against Napp's brain and being shiv-
cred into so many small pieces DR..
Ravenscroft was without means of
relieving the pressure. Napp remain
ed in an unconscious state and was
later sent to the Johnstown pa.
Hospital, where he was treated and
from reports received here was on the
road to recovery.

Nothing Was Found on tho Remains BY
Which They Could Be Identified.
OVERCOAT FOUND NEAR THE BODY.
This Suggested That Possibly The Victim Might
Have Been Robbed and Then Placed Upon The
Tracks Action Of Medical Examiner.

At O'clock last night the mangled
body OF a man was found lying be-
side the railroad track in dark spot
a short distance above the depot at
Pawtucket. His skull was fractured
and his right leg broken, indicating
that the man had been hit by train,
three having passed within short time
previous to the finding of the body.
The man was plainly but cleanly
dressed. was five feet 10 inches in height
and weighed about 1SO pounds. He was
about 90 years Old. A somewhat sus-
picious fact was the finding of an over
coat about 20 feet from the body, on
which there was also an overcoat, and
a possible robbery was suggested, the
idea being that the man might have
been robbed and left on the track by
some person who dropped the coat in
flight. There were a silver watch and
eight cents in the pockets, but nothing
by which the man could be identified.
A few who viewed the remains
thought they resembled John Thayer, a
retired farmer from Lime Rock, who
sometimes visits here. The medical ex-
aminer gave the body to an undertaken
to hold for Identification.

mills are concerned we have not
agreed TO restore the schedule OF 1897.
We posted a notice in our mills saying
that on and after a certain date there
would be raise in wages, but some
one took this TO mean that we were GO
ing back TO the old schedule, and this
we did not agree TO do. The fact Is
that we do not feel that we can at the
present time.
I'VE have had conferences with the
strikers, but nothing seems TO have
come from IL. We are gradually shut
ting down the machines in our mill, and
by Saturday night, unless those who
are out agree TO come back, / see no
other way out of IL than TO shut down
all the machinery" In relation TO the
"padrone" system in operation in some
OF the mills, Col. knight said that he
did not believe IL existed, as a system at
least. Ii was quite possible that men
who were after jobs or who were em-
ployed by the mills might try 10 get the
favor of overseers by making them
presents and there might be some ov-
erseers quite willing TO take those pres
ents but he was not prepared to be-
lieve that the thing had been reduced
to a system that was in general use
In the knight mills. The matter, how
ever would be carefully investigated.
The soliciting committee appointed by
the Riverpoint strikers to call on the
merchants and raise funds for the
maintenance OF the needy ones now out

condition that their names should not
appear on the subscription paper.

will have another meeting, the first
since Monday.
Eleven Italians, former employees Of
the Delaine mills, Olneyville, were sent
back to Providence yesterday after
noon, when they alghted from the
train at Blackstone on their way to the
Saranac MILL Waterford. where the
strike OF dye hands is on. They had
been sent under a padrone on orders.
they claimed, but the strikers paid their
fare and they returned to the city, glad
TO escape with whole skins. Two nom
union operatives who had gone into the
mills were run down on bicycles, caught
after dinner and badly beaten. Two
others escaped but will not return to
the mill. The mills shut down last night
until further orders. although IL was
stated at the mill office yesterday after
noon that the shutdown had nothing
to do with the strike and that the mills
would start up again Monday.
The girl spoilers quit their work Sat-
urday because they considered they
were not being paid the Woonsocket
scale of prices, although a new list Of

they were only receiving s1.10. and they

The Marie Anlonsile feie.

Another large audience attended the

Opera House last evening. and IL was
made up very largely OF the elite of
Providence society. There were several
variations made in the program last

and the dancing of little Ruth Orthout
and Willie Lynn making a most de
cided impression and at the conclusion
of the court dance Miss Eager received
an enthusiastic curtain call. and she
was presented with a beautiful bouquet
OF cut flowers.
The performance was fully as delight
full as the preceding ones and one of
the features of the pretty affair is the
apparent delight with which all the
participants go through their several
parts. This afternoon at the matinee a
new dance will be introduced. 1t will
be by five girls. and is said to be very
picturesque. and Miss Mabel Kings
bury. who has been i'm so many OF these
dances. will take a leading part In this
one. The matinee Of the "Pied Piper
