Arthur Raymond OF Marsh
field Was Discouraged
SHOT HIMSELF IN HEAD
Bullet Entered Face in Front Of Right
Ear and Passed Out on Other Side
lis Alive But There's
Little Hope.

Marshfield, June 19.--About noon on
Sunday Arthur Raymond shot himself
through the forehead. It appears that
there had been family quarrel during
the forenoon. Mrs. Raymond, hearing
the report of pistol, went to their
sleeping room to find Mr.. Raymond on
the floor, with the weapon beside him.
Help was hastily summoned and some
one dispatched for physician. Doctors
Carver, Warren and Gale were tried, but
all were attending patients SO that they
could not be secured.
AT o'clock the man had not been
attended. He was rational and said
Il have worked hard to keep my wife
and children clothed and fed like other
mems families, and have a happy home; /;
but my wife is away with other people
and my home is not pleasant, and am
going to end my troubles. can't stand
it any longer, and If | do not 90 this
time, shall later"
DR.. III. s. Carver is attending Mr.. Ray
mond today, and does not think that
he will recover. The bullet entered the
head Just in front of the right ear and
passed through the head and out Just
back of the left eye. Mr.. Raymond has
wife and one child.
When he was found he begged to
be finished up and asked his
father to care for his little girl. 1t is
very sad case.

ARcANUM MAY FLOP.
Insurance Rate Change Is Nov Thought
Likely.

New York, June 19.--The supreme
council of the Royal Arcanum will, in
all probability, beforced to reconsider
its action concerning the new insurance
rates of the order. The tide of protest
from members seems irresistible. All
over the country feeling against the
new rate schedule has been aroused
which the supreme regent and his as
sociates cannot set aside, and If the
grand councils in each state, following
the demands of the subordinate coun-
ellis, convene and insist upon the supreme
council being reconvened for the pur-
pose of the reconsideration of the new
rate schedule their demands cannot be
overlooked.
The local councils are making rlost
earnest and determined fight against
what Is termed an injustice to the old
members through the new rates.
While 1t Is true the old members ere
doing most Of the protesting, they are
supported by the younger men, who take
the stand that if the old men are now
deprived Of the protection they have
paid for for more than 20 years, no
guarantee can be extended the young
men that the same thing will not hap.

Frightful Train Wreck Satur-
day Night
ORDERS DISR EGARDED
Collision on the West Maryland Rail
road-Many More Deaths Likely
to Result as Many Were
Injured

Baltimore, June 19.--The death roll
of Saturday nights disaster on the
Western Maryland railroad now foots
up twenty-three, and this number is
likely to be increased from among the
list of those badly injured.
All the dead were employees of the
railroad, returning to their homes in
the small towns along the railroad to
spend Sunday. With the exception of
the train crews, they had been at work
repairing the damage done to the rail-
road ten days ago by minor freight
wreck at Mount Hope station, near this
city. The train, which was the No. 5
passenger, westbound, carried a large
number of passengers, all the other
coaches being filed As many Of the
workmen as could do so, went into the
baggage car, the remainder of the gang
Of thirty-five finding places on the plat
forms between the mail and baggage
cars and between the latter and the
tender.
An extra freight, made up Of heavy
coal and provision cars, was running
east, and it should have taken siding
to allow No. to pass. Such were

ed will never be known, for all those
who should have seen that they were
obeyed are dead.
The passenger train was running at
a speed of thirty miles an hour, and
the freight was making good time, being
drawn by two engines. just west Of
the bridge the trains came together with
terrific force, the three engines being
piled up on one another. fortunately
in such manner that sufficient steam
connections were broken to relieve the
boilers and thus prevent the further
horror Of explosions.
The fearful impact drove the passen-
ger tender into the baggage ear and
demolished it and the mail car. In an
instant the tracks ON both sides were
filled with dead and frightfully mangled
men, these latter more fortunate than
those who had been In the baggage car
and one the engines, for most Of them
were still pinioned in the wreckage out
of the immediate reach of helping
hands.
What seems a miracle, the damage
to the other cars of the passenger train
was confined almost entirely to broken
windows and doors, and the injuries TO
their occupants to bruises, from the
shaking, and minor cuts from flying
glass.
Heartrending shrieks from the in
iured quickly brought to the scene the
inhabitants of all the farm houses With-
in considerable radius, and these im-
mediately set to work TO help do what
they could to ease the suffering. FARM
ers' wives and daughters made bandages
of their clothing and household linen,
and worked heroically.

GERMANY's IDEA OF PEACE.
Prepares Draft Which Is Being circu-
lated Among the Powers.

Birmingham, Eng, June 19.--The
Post today makes the statement that
a draft Of what Germany considers to
be fair terms for settling the war is
being circulated among the powers.
These terms have been suggested as be-
ing likely to insure durable peace in the
far east.
The terms az outlined provide for the
payment of an indemnity Of 25,000,000
pounds to Japan in three annual Install
ments, the return Of all interned Rus
sian vessels to Russia, recognition of
a Japanese protectorate over Korea and
the return of Manchuria to China, Rus
sia to be allowed to retain control of
the Manchurian and Eastern China rail-
way.
These terms are so moderate that
Japan believes that Russia does not
really desire peace at this time but IL
only negotiating to gain time. The To-
kio government, The Post says, has
been all the more determined to insist
that there shall be no armistiee pending
the meeting Of the peace plenipotentiar
les, since this draft OF the terms has
been issued.

Graduating Glass Of Norwich University
Address Last Evening.

Northfeld, June 49, The baccalaur-
cate sermon before the graduating class
OF Norwich University was delivered by
the Rev. Geo. 4. Lawson Of Bellows
Falls last evening. His text was taken
from Acts 1919. The devotional and
mediative temper was urged as the grow
ing necessity of our time. Vision comes
to the inquiring and receptive man, it
becomes to him the new standard Of
life. He must live UP to 1t. We arc
responsible for our highest thought. We
are not only to live up to the truth
that we are sure Of, but to that we be-
lieye are our best movements. Life is
then marked by constant advance. Ac.
tnal life, the struggles and tolls Of man,
social movements and civic duties are
making demands upon the young man
of intelligence and ability. In the meas
ure in which knowledge and power are
impaired, they are increased.
