Freight Brakeman Colby Reynolds Has Foot
Badly Crushed by Cars.

Brakeman Colby Reynolds of the
freight train No. 81, which arrived
here from the West. Saturday night
about $50, met with n painful injury to
his. left foot by having it. run. oyer, ny
a car. 1t required l6 stitches To bring
the flesh together.
The main part Of the train had been
left outside the station and the engine
with several ears had gone on to shift
one of the cars into the side track Lead
ing down past the freight house.
Brakeman Reynolds had gone between
two of the cars to uncouple the one
to be left on the side track. and. as he
supposed. had pulled the patent
coupler SO that the cars We're un-
shackled.
His left foot was on the rail just in
front of the wheels Of the car to he
left here. When he gave the signal 20
haul ahead the cars had not become
parted and Reynolds foot was caught
under the wheels and dragged along
under the wheels. He had presence
of mind enough to keep hold of the car
and reach over and turn the cock on
the air pipe of the forward car which
was connected right through to the en-
CINE. This set the brakes and the. cars
were stopped. The fellow train hands
rushed to Reynolds assistance and
took him to DR.. r. ]. Martins Office
where the wounds were dressed.
The bones were quite badly crushed
and there was a bad wound along the
inner side of the foot The boot was
all chewed to pieces as wkl as the foot.
After an examination the doctor decid-
ed not to amputate. as it is thought by
rest and careful attention the foot
bones will knit and the wound heal.
Reynolds bore the pain with great
courage and rested through the night
quite comfortably with the help of
drugs. He was taken to his home in
Waterville on the morning train. Sun

Insurance Commissioner Gives Repor,
Of Causes Of Fires in 1898.
More Than in Previous Year-lisi Of Last
Weeks Corporations.

Herewith is given a table contain
ing the causes of the fires in Maine
for the year 1898. giving the estimated
value of the property and also the
damage by fire..
1t will be seen by this that the num-
Der Of fires during the year was 1414,
against 1880 for the previous year.
The damage for 1898 is also about
$500, 900 more than in 1897.
In conversation with Deputy Com
missioner Fletcher. Saturday morning.
the Journal inquired the reason why
where were more fires in the year
past.
II doubt if there were many more
fires than on the previous year," an
swered Mr.. Fletcher. THE greater
number shown is merely the result OF
a more thorough report than formerly.
Previous to 1895 when the law was
passed regarding these reports. the
number reported was very much small
tr. The new law provided that the
insurance companies should report
each fire to the department. Since
that time we have reports of fires that
the municipal officers know nothing
about We WILL perhaps, have the re-

the total number reported. though the
loss was not very much greater"
IT "a noted that the number OF in
