The certificates of corporations are

rotary of State. and have been since
the beginning of the new year. and
while the certificates received for the
entire month may not foot up as large
in number as the receipts of some
months in past years, it is expected
that the amount received during the

breaker. The number of corporations
which have been organized in the state
during the present months is about so,
which number will probably be ma
teriaily increased by the close of the
month. The amount received in fees
10 date at the treasurcr's office is not
available. hut il is thought that tn"
total fees for the month will be some
thing like $4,000. The unusually large
amount which has thus far been re-
ccived during the month in the way of
fees is due to the organization of two
corporations, the United States Smelt-
ing. Refining aud Mining Co. with
capital stock Of s75.O0O,0O0. and the
American Consolidated Copper Co.
with a capital stock of s130.000. 600. the
latter being the largest that was ever
organized in Maine under the general
law. The fee for the former corpora
zion was $500. and that of the latter
$4,000. These two corporations alone
paid into the State treasury the sum of
So 500. and at the rate at which the
corporations are now coming in the
estimates as to the months receipts in
fees would seem to be a conservative
one.

SARATOGA LIMITED WRECKED.
Curiously Enough, Not a Passenger
Was Even Injured

BALLSTON. N. Y. July 3.-The Saratoga
limited, the finest and fastest passenger
train running between Saratoga and New
York, was wrecked in this village early to-
day, and although the train was completely
demolished. not a passenger was killed or
injured The train left Saratoga at TAO
with twenty passengers and a crew Of
seven. At the north end Of this village the
Schenectady electric railway connects with
the steam railway and when the limited ap-
preached at the rate OF about fifty miles
an hour, the switch tender made a mis-
take and opened the switch. thinking it
was the local train to be side-tracked.
When the limited reached the switch the
entire train leaDed from the track. The
engine parted from the train and landed
in a ditch on Its side. Engineer Ed Crane
and Fireman William Flannery stuck to
their posts and were not injured. The four
palace cars followed the track for a few
feet and then overturned and went into
the ditch The fact that the engine parted
from the train and went to one side pre-
vented telescoping and probably saved a
score Of lives.
