LOCOMOTIVES RESCUED UNIN-
JURED

The locomotive on Diamond island hav-
ing been brought over to Cushings and
the locomotive run off the end of White
Head wharf having been raised. there are
now two engaged in hauling rock on the
latter island. Some people wonder why
strong hunters are not built on the end OF
these government wharves to prevent
runaway trains from going. over. but we
are informed that such an arrangement
would cause far more destruction than to
let them be dumped. 1t is remarkable
how little injury Is sustained by one OF
the engines in going overheard. Both
of them now operating on Cushings have
been in the bay, that from Diamond hav
ing taken one plunge and the Cushings
island engine having taken two, and yet
neither has been disabled thereby. and
after steaming up were found as good as
ever After the second dip of the Cush
ings island engine, 1t was steamed up
and Immediately climbed the grade as
though nothing unusual had happened to
it, 1t Is thought that the boilers, with
their air space, may give considerable
buoysncy to the engines and let them drop
without much of a shock.

1t was also voted that as mark. of re-
spect the instructors should attend the

founders, expressing our appreciation OF
his long and distinguished career
Although for several years he had not
been in active practice he never lost his
interest In the profession, land the pro-
fession never ceased TO hold him In high
esteem or to cherish for him sincere ap'
probation.
Well educated, both at home and
abroad, a constant student through his
whole life. with painstaking investlga-
ton and sound Judgment. DR.. Wood was
n wise adviser, "a safe and good physician,
while his cordial and pleasant manners
made him welcome visitor In the homes
of his patients.
Among his medical brethren he wal
universally respected and honored fol
his sterling integrity and the high sens
Of honor that scorned every mean ant
unworthy act and regulated all his con
duct

lhe friendship which makes this los
a personal one to us all shows the rar
power Of his life.
Our sorrow is tempered by the salts

A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.

A man who has recently been under
treatment at the Maine General hospital
has lost his thumb from an injury that
at first seemed very trivial. He was
sharpening a pencil drawing the knife
toward him, when the blade slipped and
inf ctet a hardly noticeable cut on his
thumb After some days the wound be-
came inilamed and as 1t continued to
grow worse rather than better he came
from his home in the center of the state
for surgical treatment. He did not i'm :
prove at the hospital, and finally visited
"a we'll known physician and requested
that the thumb be amputated. The physi-
clan dressed the wound, ana the next day
finding Three was no improvement in its
condition performed amputation.
