His Two Friends Say That He
Was Struck by a Train.
ACCIDENT NEAR WooOLAwH
Reported Row Between Several Men May
Have Figured 10 Faialiy-Mors Inquiries
VIII 6s Made BY Medical eIsmlnsL

Alexander violo, es years old, an italian
laboror. was struck by train last eyen-
ing on the Consolidated road at point
opposite Vale street. Woodlawn, Paw
tucket. and his head was horribly crush
ed, death being instantaneous.
lie was walking the track i'm company
with his brother and another man, being
Providence. at the time. and he had
stepped from one track to avoid train
without noticing the train coming in the
opposite direction.
This is the story that was told to Medi-
Examiner French of Pawtucket, when he
was called TO view the remains.
People living I'm the neighborhood. how
ever report that two or three men were
engaged Ia tight OH the track about
the time the fatality is thought to have
occurred. ana that one OF the men was
knocked down, aud the theory is ad-
vanced that violo might have been the
man Knocked down and struck by tho
train while Unconscious.
SAW MEN FIGHTING.
A boy named Peacock, whose brother,
John Peacock, is special police officer
says that he saw several men engaged
i'm a fight on the railroad near Vale street
about $50 yesterday afternoon.
The boy went directly TO his home near
by TO tell his brother but Special Officer
Peacock was not at home. A little later
II was learned that man had been killed
on the track.
Word was sent to the Pawtucket po-
lice station and Medical Examiner French
was notified OF the fatality. He viewed
the remains and ordered them 10 be turn
ed over To Undertaken O'Neill, TO be pre-
pared for burial
The head was badly crushed and one
leg was broken and death was instant
aneous I'm the opinion OF DIR. French.
The story as told by the Peacock boy
ts me only foundation for the impression
that the fight which IL was alleged had
taken place might have had something
10 do with the death of Vioio.
NO REPORT MADE.
by engineers OF any of the trains that
are due 10 pass Vale street at that time
OF the evening.
There are a number OF trains, both
north and south bound. which pass that
crossinr about the time the accident is
thought 10 have occurred.
Stauon Master Holt of the Woodlawn
depot sent I'm a report of the accident and
the facts attending 1t. and they are sub
stantially the same as those learned by
Medical Examiner French.
Trajnmen regard IL ak somewhat pecu-
liar that the engineer or fireman OF the
engine that struck Niolo did not see the
three men when they stepped on To the
track In front of the approaching train.
Medical Examiner French will prob
nbIy make further INQUIRIES regarding the

THE ANNUAL report of the Maryland Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has been sent by
the Agricultural Department to Congress. 1t
shows the income of the station the past year
to have been SIT 1886, derived as follows
United States appropriation, $4,000; farm
products, s1.S5607 miscellaneous, including
balance from previous year, s522.S9. The
work has included chemical investigations,
feeding and digesting experiments with COWS
and pigs, breeding experiments with dairy cat
tie, field experiments with staple crops, ex-
periments in curing tobacco, horticultural in
vestigations, studies in vegetable pathology,
chronological investigations, studies ofanimal
diseases and work in dairying. The lime de-
posts of the State have been studied with re-
nfarence to their use in agriculture. Bacteria
logical work has also been carried on. The
professor of agriculture in the college has been
made agriculturist of the station. The chemist
of the station is now its director. The college
farm is also under his control, assisted by
farm superintendent. The system ofFarmers'
Institutes inaugurated by the college is being
rapidly developed. The work done at the col
leee is bringing that institution, as well as the
Experimental Station, into much closer rela-
lions with the farmers of Maryland.

THE PRESENT session of the Maryland Legis-
lature will expire by constitutional limit on
Monday, April I'd. Mr.. Redmond c. Stewart.
who is member of the House from Baltimore
coassty, has been making an effort to secure
final adjournment on Saturday night so that
the members can go home and not return on
Monday. To do this would affect saving to
the State in the per diem of members and en-
ployes of something like 81. 500, but it is hardly
likely the patriotism of these officials will
carry them so far. There is no doubt if an
effort were made the business of the session
could be wound up on Saturday just as well
as on Monday night, and Mr.. Stewart is to be
commended for the effort he is making in
that direction.

The AVERAGE salary paid in 80 to Methodist
ministers in this country was s473.35. When
the sums gained in a year by even the third
class prize fighter are compared with this pitiful
stipend, the fact that there is something wrong
with the public mind and public pocket
book becomes decidedly apparent. More than
this, the world must conclude that man is
terribly in earnest and sincere who will work
for the sum named. Where there is small
stipend there is no hypocrisy. Scoffers may
sneer but there is much of the heroic in men
struggling to better their fellowman on less
than living wages.
