on the evening of the accident was So
Conductor Emery had orders to run 10
Newport Junction and to cross No. SCI
ct Etna on the east end Of the double
track.
Conductor Reynolds testimony was
that he had orders upon leaving Water
vile to run to Newport Junction At
Newport junction his train received or
ders to run to Etna and to cross No. %
at Etna. When he reached Etna he re-
ceived two orders in succession: one
was to wait at Etna to cross No. 81
and the later order was to run 10 North
ern Maine junction and cross No. IS
at Hcrmon Pond instead Of at t.tna.
No &c going upon that order proceed
ed east.
Train Dispatcher Lyons testimony was
that he had issued these orders to No. 36i
and that they had been received and sign
ed for by the train crew at Etna. His
testimony was that he had called the op-
orator at Northern Maine Junction in an
effort to get the order to No 36. The
operator at Northern Maine Junction, ac-
cording to his testimony, answered that
No. Sc was coming in. Dispatcher Lyon
said he gave the order to the operator
who answered back in code form that IS
was in the yard and he had the train
under control.
DISPATCHER Lyon stated his reason for
allowing No. sc to run ahead of time was
that he had asked the operator in Bangor
for permission to leave that station ahead
of the regular schedule time. He also
said that he had no reason to know that
Mr.. Roy, the Northern Maine Junction
operator. was not competent. lie Lad
heard that Roy had held the position for
about a month and that in working with
him he had always handled train orders
in a satisfactory manner.
Dispatcher Lyon also testified that when
he realized that No. SO had gone past
Northern Maine Junction without recciv-
ing orders he could see no way in which
a collision might be averted.
The train dispatcher was sharply qucs-
toned by County Attorney Patten and
Commissioner Peaks. He stated that lie
had not talked with Operator Roy since
the accident although he had seen him
when the investigation was made by the
railroad officials at the Watcrvillc office.
The prospects are that the railroad
commissioners hearing will last through
the entire day Wednesday and possibly
will take considerable time Thursday.

DOCTOR THE ITCH WHERE THE
ITCH is.
Don't Dose the Stomach to Cure
Eczema and Other Skin Diseases.

Those afflicted with Eczema.
psoriasis, salt rheum. or other skin
diseases Of a similar nature, should
never dose the stomach to rid them
selves of the terrible itch. They should
doctor the itch where the itch is-cure
the skin through the skin, not through
the stomach.
Eczema and other diseases Of a
kindred kind are skin diseases-not
blood diseases. Science has shown
that Eczema is caused by germs in the
skin. and that the disease can be
eradicated only by killing the germs.
DR.. Decatur D. Dennis was one of the
first physicians to follow out the ger,n
theory in skin diseases. Then he dis
covered that by mixing oil of winter
green with other soothing agents he
had a liquid prescription which killed
the germs and cured the awful itch,
leaving the skin white and smooth.
Since that time this d. D. d. Prescrip-
ton has been the standard remedy for
skin diseases. just as d. d. d. soap
is the standard high grade skin soap.
The first few drops of D. D. D. give
instant relief from the terrible itch
and from the frightful burning Of the
diseased skin. So reliable is this D. D.
D. remedy that hundreds of physicians
prescribe it. 1t is a wash as thin as
water and as mild and as pure, which
is applied to the diseased portion Of the
skin.
Mrs. Frances Richmond of Milton,
Trimble county. Kentucky, writes:
MY little girls fingers were sore al
most to the bone from Eczema. / used
part of the sample bottle Of D. D. D.
Prescription received from you and
now they are well. 1t is a wonderful
skin remedy
We carefully investigated this ID. d.
d. Prescription before recommending
it to our neighbors and patrons, and
after a long experience we are more
than ever convinced of it's wonderful
merits

You needn't decide now, but call at
our store anyway and we win show

cal When death came, Mrs. Have
meyer, her son Horace, and daughter
Electra and DR.. l.. c. F'risbell We're at
the bedside. This evening the body
was brought to the Havemeyer town

Mr. Havemeyer was the son Of the

his father and grandfather amassed a
fortune. He obtained an education in

brother, Theodore A. Havemeyer, was
elected president of the company and
held the office until his death, four
years ago. II. o. Havemeyer then sue
ceeded to the presidency.

by refusing the answer certain ques-
tons put to him by the United States
Senate committee which was making
an investigation of the sugar indus
try. Mr.. Havemeyer was indicted and
tried for contempt. After a long legal
fight he was freed. He engaged in a
| hard thought campaign with the Ar
buckles for the control of the sugar
business.
His estate is said to amount to many
millions Of dollars and he was con-
sidercd one Of the wealthiest men in
New York. Mr.. Havemeyer in 1863
! married Louise w. Elder, who was the
| daughter of his partner in the sugar
business. The widow and four chill
! dren survive.
