DANGER is OVER.
Bangor and Vicinity No Longer
Fears the F|oo1.
Same Feeling Of Relief Also Felt on
Other Maine Rivers.
Considerable Damage by Ice and Water on the
Upper kenncbcc.

Bangor. Me-. April 11.-So far as
could be learned. Thursday night, the
danger point along the Penobscot from
the great f,eshet which has prevailed
since last Saturday afternoon, was
passed. The rain had ceased, the sun
had once more shonc brightly and the
water in the river was falling rapidly,
while the latest reports from up river
stated that the last of the big jams had
broken and the ice and large amount of
water which they have been holding
back have gone swiftly, though not
silently. down river and out to sea
These We're sufficient to give one hopes
that the worst of the flood was over.
Railroad men claimed, that tonight,
they would be able to move trains
regularly once more over their lines,
and that within short time whatever
congestion the flood has caused in
freight traffic would be relieved.

BOILER EXPLODES
In Factory at West Paris, Kill.
ing the Engineer.
Force Of 20 at Work, But All the
Others Escape Injury.
Building Damaged from $4,000 to $4,000.
Explosions Cause Unknown.

Wet Paris, Me. April u.-ore man
was fatally injured and ccnsiIcra bic
property was destroyed by a boiler cx-
ploSicn at Lewis Nj. Mann & Sons
wood working factor here. early Thurs
day. The dead man is Herbert En-
mons. engineer. aged 40 years, and
married. The entire working foicc Of
20 men were in the fac tory at the time
and it is considered remarkable that
al with the exception of the engineer
escaped injury.
The explosion occurred at 10 Thurs
day morning, just aftc" III" machinery
had been put in motion and the small
engine house which was joined To the
factory proper by Il short passagcway
was almost conpls teiy demolished. The
force of the explosion was directed
away from ;hc main building bat the
entire plant was badly shaken.
Tic only man in the engine room at
the time the accident was Herbert En-
mons, the engineer, and when he was
found ana taken from the wrcckage it
was thought he was dead. An eXami-
nation. however, showed the man was
still alive. but he WAS horribly injured
Both legs were broken, his face, arms
and body was cut and bruised and
there was no chance for recovery. He
died Il few hours later.
The 20 employees in the factory had
just entered and were preparing for the
days work but although the building
was badly shaken by the explosion
mono of them WAS injured
The cause of the accident is as yet
unknown. The boiler, which was of so
horse power, was inspected, Wednes-
day and, it is understood, was pro-
nounCed in good condition. Probably the
only explanation of the trouble could
be obtained from the engineer and he
was in no condition to make IA state
ment before death.
The factory building is two-story
structure of wood. 10X30 feet, and the
principal manufactures are spools and
clothespins.
A first it was thought the damage
would be almost entirely confined to
the engine house, which was practi-
cally destroyed and probably would
not greatly exceed $1,000. But an ex-
animation, this afternoon, revealed the
fact that the entire main building mad
fbeen moved distance of more than
six inches on its foundations by the
force of the explosion. The building IS
badly strained and extensive repairs
will be necessary. The loss is now
yariously estimated at from $iOoo TO
$4,000.

The greatest damage from the freshet

lost about 10G0,O00 feet Of pine logs.
These were ''shingled'' on the shore
near the mill and when the water re-

from them they noated into the river.
The boom WAS not sufficient to hold
them and they We're lost, going down
the river to the sea. A part of them
may eventually be caught somewhere
down river and can he sold there. The
bulk may go on out to sea

ones and the loss will be heavy. as
good quality of pine is worth much
more than any spruce.

Paris Temps Presents Full Signi6-
canoe OF Toulon Demonstrations.
Italy and France Have Changed Since Time
Of Bismlrck and C.ispi''

Paris, April 1l.-At the conclusion of
ident Loubet Will proceed to his home
at Montelimar, in the department of
Drome to visit his aged mother and
take q few days repose after the ia
tigueS of the many functions of the
week, which have kept him occupied
from early morning until late at night.
The satisfactory manner in which the
whole affair has been carried out has
been personal success for Nj. Loubet-
Nothing but praise is heard even from
his opponents. at the able manner in
which he has played his part. The ac-
counts agree that not false note has
disturbed the harmony and the tact
displayed on all sides, from President
Lubet the Duke of Genoa and Admiral
Birilef, to the minor participants in
the events, was a noteworthy feature.
AS to the political side of the Franco
Italian demonstration, the Temps, to
night, now that the Speechmaking is
over, puts the situation in a clear light
with the following remarks:
The words pronounced by NJ. Lou
bet and the Duke of Genoa and espcc-
tally the kilograms exchanged between
NJ. Loubet and the King of Italy stamp
the proceedings at Toulon with their
true diplomatic significance. France
ana Italy, yesterday, gave one another,
officially, the title Of friends which ac-
cords SO well with the fraternity of
their genius and blood.
This is an event which must not be
distorted nor wrongly interpreted. But
there is little risk of excggeratinS its
importance. which, taking everything
into consideration, is considerable.
Both Italy and France have greatly
changed since the time of Bismack and
Crispi. We cannot yet say what fruits
yesterday VIII bring forth but we au-
CUR much therefrom.'

table. which was beautifully adorned
with gold plate and porcelain center
pieces filed with flowers. The golden
service was used for NJ. Loubet and the

used for the attending ministers. while
a valuable Saxon porcelain service was
used for the other guests.
