tne relief will be scarcely more than
temporary unless more follows soon.
In southern New England the rain
did scarcely more than lay the dust
and very few of the brooks and none
of the wells were affected In the
northern part, however, which was
nearer the storm center, as the dis
turhance swept down the st. Lawrence
valley. the fall was heavier and the
moisture gave the underground a good

David Peters, Wins|ow,
Probably Killed by Cars.
His Body. Found. Tuesday Morn
Ing Beside tie Tracks,.

Hold Inquest This Morning.

The body of David Peters of
Winslow was found yesterday morn
ing beside the Maine Central tracks
in Winslow about opposite the Fort
Halifax, with his skull fractured and
right shoulder broken. 1t is supposed
that he was struck by train ana
death was instantaneous. He was
found about o'clock by man in
that vicinity and the body was within
a few feet Of the track. officer John
K. Pollard was called and also Coroner
Frank Redington. The body Was
taken to the Redngton undertaking
rooms.
Peters was seen in this city Monday
evening and it is claimed that he had
been under the influence OF liquor.
He was driven from the Plains by a
hackman to his home in Winston
about midnight. About 100 o'clock
yesterday morning Officer j. r.
Pollard was requested by telephone
the officer to come to the Peters home
as Peters was evidently troublesome.
The officer was again called about b
o'clock when it was reported that his
body had been found beside the track.
When officer Pollard arrived on the
scene he found the body lying on the
ground with feet nearest the track ana
although it is not known just the
manner in which he met his death, it
is assumed, judging from the nature
of the wound, that he must have been
lying near the rail There was a bad
wound on the top of his head, running
almost from ear to ear and it is prob
able that wound of this kind would
not have been inflicted had he been
walking on the track.
Just what train is supposed to have
hit the man is not known but it Is
generally conceded that it was the
late Pullman, No. 127 for he is
claimed to have been seen after the
other trains had passed through the
station. The body was taken in
charge by Coroner Remington and
taken to this city In the morning
jury was impaneled, which viewed the
remains and the scene of the accident,
but adjourned until this morning at 10
o'clock at the City hall, where an in
quest will be held.
