tubercular menengitis, which had laid
him low in all the vigor of his young
manhood, were slight, the grief was
none the less poignant when the blow
fell.
DR.. Brown was born in Machas. Me-.

The NJ. c. r. r. bridge crew are
making rapid progress on the piers of
the railroad bridge, east of the station
near Bryant e. Co.'S lumber mill. The
old piers are being taken out and re-
placed by piers more than twice as
wide, to support the new bridge for the
double track. A large amount of the
granite for this work is furnished from
the quarries of Cyr Brothers of Hart
land. The work of grading and ballast
ing for the new track which is to be
laid between this town and Detroit to
connect with the double track already
extended to the latter place is being
rushed rapidly along. Considerable
progress has been made on the road for
about a mile, east of the station. A sid
ing has been constructed just east of
the bridge to contain the cars occu-
pied by the workmen. The long grade
which extends for about half mile
toward Detroit will be lowered about
two and one-half feet which will
make it much easier for heavy trains
starting from the station. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will be we'll

And Thereby Wins Bantamweight
Championship of World.

San Francisco, Aug. 134Frank c..
Neil of San Francisco, won the bantam
weight championship of the world, to-
night, when he landed a left swing in
the pit of Harry Forbes stomach in
the second round of a scheduled 20
round fight. Forbes, by virtue Of hold
ing the championship, was a ITO i
favorite in the betting, but Neil,Min
spite of that fact, had many local sup
porters. In the first round of the figfts
no effective blows were landed untfi
Forbes, who appeared in splendid con-
dition, began to show himself as the
heavier boxer of the two, but he could
not land effectively.
When they came UP for the second
round Neil dashed out with his left and
landed a terrific punch on Forbes
stomach. The Eastern champion
doubled up like a jack knife and fell
over backward. He lay in the corner
of the ring grasping for breath, but
managed to get up before the 10 seconds
were counted. Neil went at his man
like young tiger and rained shower
of blows on the almost defenceless
Forbes. Another punch in the stomach
sent Forbes down again and Referee
Graney counted him out.
Neil evidently did not hear the end OF
the count, for as Forbes struggled to
his feet. Neil landed another left OF
the jaw and sent his man under the
ropes. There was vigorous cry of foul
from the Forbes people as their man
aad already been counted out but il
was of no avail.
