A NARROW ESCAPE
From "A Serious Accident at the p. e. O..
Coal Wharf.

Shifter No. 1 Of the Maine Central
railroad while backing out Of the old P.
81 o. coal wharf with seven loaded cars
Wednesday afternoon ran into an open
switch and came within an inch of roll
ing into:the harbor.
This p. s. o. wharf Is hard place to get
out of with a load, there being quite a
grade and the engine has to get quite a
Roadway to get over it.
At 3 p. IN. engine one ran. down on to
wharf to haul out seven loaded cars. She
had to wait few minutes while the
last car was being loaded and in the
meantime another engine went over the
switch and the switch man was changing
it.
When the engine which was pulling the
cars came out the engineer. Frank Foster,
saw the open switch when almost into
it and tried to stop the train. The engine
could not check the train, the weight OF
the train simply pushing the engine
right along over the switch and to the
| very edge of the water.
The engineer seeing he could not STOP
told the fireman, John Kelly, to jump
and he jumped. The engine dug deep
into the roadbed and that saved her from
going over. The wrecking train was
sent for and after working three hours
succeeded in getting the engine back or
the rail.

loss. People living near the hre thought
mors than y, 900 worth had been burned
up, hut that the losses would not 70
above q, 600. There was much uncertain
ty, however, as to how much woodland
had actually been burned over.
: Like most exciting happenings, the
fame Of tho thing was much larger than
the reality. The has.y summoning homs
of many Falmouth people who were
working In Portland, the clouds OF BLACK
smoke that wsre plainly visible from
this city, and the high wind which salts
fled every condition for big fire, con-
spired to spread tremendous rumors. 1t
was said at one time that the church an
eight house, had been burned. These
rumors sent many people TO the some, In
teams and on bicycles. and hence resulted
that appearance which reminded the Fal
mouth people of circus day.
Inst evening quite . number OF bioy
clists went out to view the fire. The best
way was to 60 through Morrills and
Aliens corners, and thence to Smelt Hill,
across the old wooden covered bridge.
Beyond that point the smoke and flames
were sufficient guides. There WAS not
much to be seen, however, ~ the fire is
some distance from the road.

A SHARP BREAK
Mccoy Sisters and Sam
Marion as Rebels.
Desert the Hoyt Mckee Comsany But Join
u Asaln-Unususi Seems at
the wharf.
From Thursdly's DailyJ

Dissension in the Hoyt Mckee ranks
reached the stage Of an open rupture
at the Oceanic wharf last evening
There were several scenes for the
crowd that had been attracted by the
sailing Of the Moana. The steamer
moved away with the Mccoy sisters
and their mother and Sam Marion on
the dock. and the rest of the troupe
Mrs. Mccoy and Manager Cooke. The
| two dancing girls and Marion sided
against Cooke. The other members of
the company kept out of the affair.
The breach was "A serious one, as the
sisters are billed all over Australia,
and are expected by the theater-goers.
Some days ago the sisters and Manager
Cooke had difference at the Opera
house here during rehearsal. Cooke
put his veto on one of their costumes.
and told them their clothes must meet
with his approval, or they could return
to New York by the next boat. The
girls were highly indignant, and wait,
ed to leave there and then. The moth
or interviewed. and truce was declar-
ed. Yesterday the toes of the mother
were stepped upon, and she led the re-
volt, in which the two girls and Ma
rion heartily joined. Marion, in ad
dressing Cooke, was sharply eloquent.
Nytl IN
mix" excepting for the presence of
ladies. The steamer was stopped in
, the stream and Marion went off to- IL
in a shore boat after the baggage of
the insurgents. Cooke now made
peace overturcs. The manager re-
GREETED hasty action and expressed a
, willingness to make almost any con-
cession. Cooke was wrathy, but looked
at the business end of the affair. Ma
ron was still at white heat, but men
| toned terms that would be agreeable
to the girls and their mother, and in
a few minutes brought the ladies from
the wharf Mrs. Mccoy and her daugh-
tiers relied entirely on the judgment OF
Marion, who was largely influenced
| by the fact that it was found impossi
BILE to get the trunks of the dancers
from the vessel. All the heavy bag
gage was in the hold. The ladies had
only little hand satchels. They cried
about this. The row at the wharf was
all on account of the mother of the girls
asking for small amount of advano @
and refused. Then the llare-up. TIL
break was beautiful exhibition of
temper The sisters and Marion are
under contract to Hoyt d Mckee, and
have been for several years. They hes
itated not mOmept to smash their
agreement to smithcrcens. and to
break relations that had long been
pleasant and profitable. Marion is "A
fighter and Cooke has determination.
| There will be more trouble. Bernard
and one or two others will likely join
the camp opposing the manager
There was an awful racket between
Cooke and Bernard at one rehearsal
here. and Conor and Bernard had
words on the stage during one presen-
tation of Rag Baby. Bernard had his
book" on the counter in the drug
store scene, and Conor censured him
and kicked the book" across the
| stage
