Eastern Maine people have renewed

week because of the weight with which
the hand of the law has fallen upon of
tenders against the prohibitory law IN
Waldo county. The next criminal term
of the supreme court for Penobscot
county will convene in Bangor early In
February, and, while it has not been ex-
pected that there would be sensational
term. the example furnished by Waldo
county has undoubtedly had strong
deterrent effect upon the few who have
been selling liquor in Bangor. 1t Is
probably not true that Bangor has be-
come dry town, but it ia true that the
traffic. for some reason or other has
diminished recently. In Waldo county
the liquor business has been practically
wiped out, as every dealer is either in
Jail, under bonds or driven out OF bust
ness.

Snow Storm Causes a Shocking
Accident in ArbPoath, Scotland.
THIRTY WERE ALSO WOUNDED
Work of Relieving Their Suffering is
Difficult Because of the Heavy
snow-It Was a Rear-End Col.
ision.
(By Associated Press. J

DUNDEE, SCOTLAND. Dec. 2s.-
In railroad collision, caused indi.
rectly by the heavy snow storm of
the last few days, 16 persons have
been killed and over 80 injured. The
accident occurred near Arbroath, on
the North British railroad between
Edinburgh and Aberdeen and some
distance north of here. Among the
persons injured is Alexander William
Black, member of the House OF Com
mons from Baffashire, Scotland.
The accident is attributed to the
heavy fall of snow, owing to which
trains from London for Aberdeen were
held up at Arbroath. During the af-
ternoon, however, the line was clear
ed, and one train proceeded for Dun
dee. 1t had stopped at Elliott juno
ton, and the danger signals were
thought to be set. They failed to
act. however, through being clogged
with snow, or from some other cause
not yet ascertained, and an express
train dashed into the rear of the
waiting train.
Everything possible is being done
to snccor the wounded, but the rem
dering of assistance is after ded with
much difficulty and the suffering can
be alleviated but slowly.
