HALLOWELL.
LIFE CRUSHED OUT,
Charley FuIIum Killed by Cars
at MiI|iken's Crossing.
Was on Track Watching Freight
Struck by Passenger No. |.
Died from Injuries in Less Than Two
Hours-Ased 9 Years.

Milliken's crossing on lower Water
street was the scene of a sad acct
dent, Wednesday morning, when the
upbound passenger train which reach
es this station at 9.01 struck and
fatally injured Charley F'ullum. the 8
year-old son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
F'ullum.
The boy had been up street and was
on his way to his home, which is on
Water street just below the crossing.
On coming to the crossing the down
freight was just passing on the west
track, and, waiting for the freight to
pass, the boy approached the east
track, and was standing facing the
tracks and watching the freight.
The noise of the freight train must
have prevented him from hearing the
approach of the passenger train on
the east track, and the engine of this
train struck the boy and hurled him
some 20 feet onto the spur track for
merly used as a siding for Millikens
mill. The engineer of the train saw
the boy on the track and gave several
warning blasts of the whistle, at the
same time setting the emergency
brakes. The train came to a stop al
most within it's length.
The boys father was at his home
and attracted by the blasts of the
whistle was one of the first to reach
his boy. The boy was picked up un-
conscious and taken to his home. Drs.
Croker Nutting and Millken Were
Immediately summoned and every
thing possible was done; but the in
juries received were more than medi-
cal skill could overcome, and the boy
lived less than two hours. The skull
was badly fractured and one leg broken
beside other injuries.
An inquest will be held, this morn
ing.
Charley Fullum was an adopted son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fullums, but had
known no other home. having been
adopted by them in his infancy. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Fullum We're strongly
attached to the boy, and no boy could
have had happier home or more
kindness and affection from his parents
than he had in his home with them.
The sincere sympathy of the whole
community go out to Mr.. and Mrs.
Fullum in their bereavement.

The Bath Times. Tuesday, said: The
Boston steamers have had their share
Of hard lucl, during the past two days.
Sunday owing to the fog, the Kennebec
did not reach this city until nearly
O'Clock on the day trip down from Ros-
ton. 1t was then so foggy and dark
that she didn't attempt to go out that
nigh but laid over until $50 Monday
morning hence her late arrival Tues
dag noon from Boston. The Sagadahcc
left as usual at O'clock Monday night,
but missed her landing at Popham at
the first attempt. She went out around
the Sugar Loaves and tried again. This
time she had too much Roadway and
came head on into the wharf cutting it
down for about Is feet and causing at
first quite a CONSERVATION among the
passengers. The steamer didn't suffer
much injury beyond tearing off some
copper forward and breaking some of
her upper works. She started out for
Boston, but after going out past Pond
island, put back to Parker Oats where
she remained until II o'clock. Some Of
the passengers were landed by boats,
procured teams and drove to this city
and returned on the midnight train.
