William H Deering and 100 other
citizens and taxpayers of the city of
SacO have filed a protest and remon-
STRANGE with the railroad commission
ers against their acceptance of the
railroad crossing at Goose Fair, So
called. in Saco, where the Portland
Railroad Co. has laid it's rails under
the bridge of the Boston & Maine Rail-
road crossing the Portland road, So
called. and state that the construction
of the whole crossing is dangerous to
teams.
The remonstrants contend that the
course of the electric cars coming
from Portland to Saco is in such direc-
ton as to point diagonally across the
roadbed of the Portland road, and that
cars in such position emerging from
under the Boston & Maine bridge make
the roadway too narrow for the safe
passage of travellers and trains be-
tween the electric railroad track and a
certain retaining wall, which is a
menace to the safety of travellers with
teams, and which, the remonstrants
further contend was not built in the
location egred upon nor in the manner
agreed upon between the city of Saco,
the Portland Railroad Co. and the
Boston G. Maine Railroad Co.
Therefore the petitioners ask that
the commissioners view the premises
so as to determine if the prayer of the
petitioners be granted.

In the dayligh, the tall buildings. rising

broken behind them.

The lights do not leap into view, but

DIDN'T HELP MAN ~ QIICkSAND.
His Head Above Ground for Two Days.
but No Negro Would Aid Him.

NEW ORLEANS. Dec. 1.-THE man who
persisted in qucksand near Mapina Miss,
has been identified as George kilrain and
his death is the result of negro superstition
and fear. When Klrain struck the quick
sand he sank up o his armpi,s and remained
in that position for two days before death
relieved him His repeated cries for help
were heard by the negroes in the neighbor-
hood and several of them went to him. but
gave him no assistance, being afraid TO go
near him because Of the quicksand.
His condition was reported TO a negro
Magistrate in the neighborhood. but he
declined to render any assistance on the
ground that the law made no provision for
such cases. The head and shoulders Of
the man remained above the quicksand
for several days. the flesh being eaten
from them by the buzzards.
