The wheel slid In towards the car,
throwing Clark to the ground directly In
front Of the rear trucks of the trailer.
The wheel then seemed to fly out from
the track while Clark was drawn in be-
meath the rear truck. This car was not
very heavily loaded at the time, having
about half dozen passengers on it. The
heavy rear trucks passed over Clark 1
body from his left side towards his right
in diagonal manner, evidently breaking
his back and otherwise injuring him
internally. The bones of both arms were
broken and there were few bruises and
slight cuts on his face and forehead.
The falling of the wheciman was wit
messed by some of the trailer passengers
who shouted to the brakeman of the rear
car. The car with it's trailer was stopped
within six or eight feet OF the boys body
and everyone ran back to the spot where
he lay across the track. He was seen to
as the car passed over his body and then
sink back to the pavement again. There
was no sight OF blood about the body ex-
oepting the few scratches on the head.
The boy was picked up and carried to
the drug stofv Of Horgan and Abbott at
the corner Of Paris and Portland streets.
There he was laid upon the floor and the
two gentlemen who own the store flew
around TO do what they could for him.
One Of them poured some restorative
down his throat when Clark gagged and
ooughed slightly but did not regain con-
seriousness. The patrol wagon was tele-
phoned for and arrived within q few
minutes and the boy was placed in this
and carried to the police station. He died
before be was taken from the drug store
and, though several physicians were sent
for, none of them arrived before his
death. From the police station the body
was taken to the undertaking rooms of 5.

Grand Trunk Engine.

Grand Trunk Engine.
A. shocking accident occurred at the
Elm street crossing of the Grand Trunk
railroad In Yarmouth shortly after two
c'look, Saturday afternoon, in which
Mrs. Sarah Humphrey, widow of the late
Capt. James Humphrey, lady Of about
80 years, met her death. She was struck
by the locomotive of the Grand Trunk
passenger train leaving Portland at 1.30
o'clock. Mrs. Humphrey was an active
woman for one of her years and frequent
ly went out for a walk. She resided quite
near the railroad track and Saturday af-
ternoon while. out walking started TO
cross the track at ELM street. Mrs. Hum
phrey was hard of hearing and evidently
did not hear the approaching train In
charge of Conductor Benjamin More.
She was struck on the back by the buff
of the engine and thrown to the grount.
The train was at once stopped and th 10
passengers alighted to learn what had
happened. Messrs Arthur Craig, a tlay-
cling man Of Portland, assisted by MIR.
Jordan and young medical student
picked the injured woman up and carried
her to nearby house where q physician
was summoned. She bled profusely from
a wound in hsr head and 1t was discoy-
ei ed that she had heen badly bruised
about the body. She was unconscious
for about an hour when she died and a
telephone message was sent to Coroner
Perry who left the city about four o'clock
to take the necessary proceedings.
The crossing where this accident oo-
CURED is blind one. 1t is located about
q thousand feet from the Yarmouth depot
and is the one where young Miss Dora
McCoullngh was struck while riding in~a
sleigh last winter in which accident she
was instantly killed as was also the
horse. The gentleman with whom she
was riding, however, escaped without a
scratch. Soon after that accident petit
tion was literally signed asking that
gates be placed at the crossing but as yet
the request has not bsen granted. Mrs.
Humphrey, the victim of the accident of
Saturday, has two sons one of whom,
Homer Humphrey, a man of about 40
years, is captain of a steamer and the
other, Captain Herbert, is master of
sailing vessel.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-United States
Consul Macrum, at Pretoria, has cabled
the State Department that the Trans
vaal government has informed him that
full reports will be given through the
War Office of the republic of the
name and condition of the British
prisoners when applied for by Brit
ish authorities. Mr.. Macrum preferred
request for information On this point some
time ago and was refused. Now, however.
that the assent of the Boer government is
given. 1t is noted that their response is
not complete They will not furnish Mr..
Macrum himself with the Information but
oblige the British to make applica-
tion to the Boer War Office. This is
a small matter. but it is said may be indi-
cative of an intention, on the part of the
Beers, TO force formal recognition of their,
independence in every official communica-
tion by the British government

dertaking, having secured the release of

The list of casualties among the noncom-

Magersfontein, just issued, shows fifty-five

Considerable satisfaction is felt, both in
military and civilian circles, by the an
nouncement that Gen. Hector Macdonald,
who by splendidly defeating a Dervish at

ROME, Dec. 15.--The text of the Pope's
allocution at yesterdays consistory is pub
lished to-day The Pontiff began by an
nouncing the appointment of the cardinals
deputed to open the sacred door of the
Roman basilica at the commencement of
the holy year. He said he could have
wished that the church enjoyed her former
liberty in Rome and that she might thus
have been able TO celebrate publicly the
contemplated ceremonies with the solemn
usages of by-gone years.
The Pope then referred to the fact that
the Vatican was not invited to send rep
resentative to the peace congress at The
Hague, an omission which, he said, had
been "censured' by all impartial judges
The Car, he continued, invited the repre-
sentatives of the most powerful nations
with a view of establishing peace. Yet
there was none more worthy of an invita-
ton than the Pope, as he had endeavored
to obtain and to make peace and to prevent
conflict. The Holy See had desired place
in that conference, continued the Pontiff.
One voice had obstinately opposed itself to
this desire and had gained the point 1t
was the voice of those who, with the con-
quest of Rome, had deprived the Pope of
his powers. What hostility, asked the
Pontiff "have we to fear from them. when
even in the face of Europe they do not hes
itate to violate the sanctity of the rights
and duties which naturally flow from apos-
tolic power? Nevertheless, whatever the
future may bring. we should certainly
never, by Gods help, be found on the side
of those who are afraid"

MY Dear Archbishop-Your kind letter

on the subject which we have discussed
together, and which, you are aware, has
caused me deep pain and annoyance. A re-

most bitter and unjust attacks upon me.

whole matter has now died out, ana
think, therefore, that it would be inoppor-
tune for me, In any public manner, to al
lude again to the painful subject which has
brought a torrent of abuse upon me, not
only by the press, but by the low church,
and especially the Noncomformists. They
have perfect right, L am we'll aware, in
free country like our own, TO express
their opinions, but / do not consider that
they have a just right to jump at conclu-
sions regarding myself without knowing
the facts. L have a horror of gambling,
and shall always do my utmost to discour-
age others who have an inclination for II,
as / consider that gambling, like intemper-
ance, is one of the greatest curses which a
country could be afflicted with Horse-rac-
ing may produce gambling, or 1t may not,
but have always looked on it as a manly
sport. which is popular with Englishmen
of all classes, and there is no reason why
ii should be looked on as a gambling

gamble at anything.
II have written quite openly to you, my
dear archbishop, whom l have had the
advantage of knowing so many years. Be

Can an AppOintee Take the Place Of a
Senator Who Has Never Qualified.

OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 15.-The question has
been raised as to whether William V. Al
len, appointed senator from this State can
be seated. The contention of some is that
Hayward never having taken his seat the
whole matter is in the same position as in
States where the Legislature failed to
elect at the expiration of the term of his
predecessor The question is said to have
occasioned Hayward considerable worry
before his death. Several lawyers who
have been interviewed did not care TO ex-
press a decided opinion. Some were of the
impression that the Legislature having
made an election the failure of the party
elected to qualify would not deprive the
State of right to representation. Others
of equal prominence were in doubt about it
