When Freight Train Struck Carriage,
Says Moses Harris.

Portland, Nc, oct. SIT is now prac-
tically certain that the accident at Fal-
mouth saturday Afternoon when Miss
Elijah Sparrow Peck, residing at -
Pleasant avenue, DeerinS Center, was
killed, and Oliver Moses Harris, Oldest
son OF benjamin +. Harris, 50 Deering

Tho mystery about the whole affair
has been such as to start many rumors
Of how it might have happened, flying.

THRILLING PASSAGE.
American Liner "a Hours Late at
Southampton After Exciting Trip.

Southampton, Oct. S.-The American
Line steamer ST. Paul which left New
York Sept. IS, steamed into this har-
Dor Monday ~ hours late. Her voyage
is described as having been most thrill
ing. She encountered severe gales and
mountainous seas pounded her hull
with great violence and washed over
her decks. Having gone through this
peril the steamer ran into dense fog
and Chief Office Osborne who COM
manded owing to the indisposition of
Capt. Passow, had to grope his way to
Plymouth by means of the lead.
From the time the st. Paul left Now
York, Chief Osborne saw neither ships,
stars or other points of observation.
When the fog finally lifted the steamer
was in Plymouth sound.
The White Star Co. have minated
to the Southampton harbOr authorities
that an increased depth of water will
be required for vessels larger than the
