tr9 freight train which arrived in Au-
susta from Waterville at $50 sunday

A part OF the work done in the Angus
Ia yard was the setting off of a car
in the pit so-called, above Bridge
street crossing, and Mr.. Mckay was
on the side of the rear end of the car
to be set off on spur track at the

was backing stood a box car to which

injured and hurry call was sent for
the ambulance. with which Fl. w
Plummer and H. E. Bates soon re-
sponded and the injured man was
taken 10 the Augusta General hospita
where upon an examination being
made it was found that he had sus
tanned a compound fracture of The
right thigh a short distance below th'
hip and that the left arm was frac
tured just below the shoulder. 1t could
not be determined Sunday whether
the man had sustained internal inju

DROWNED IN RIVER.
VIM. H. Smith Loses Life
Near Swan Island,
Saturday Afternoon, While on
Trip TO Five Islands.
Only Witness Was Younger Brother
BODY Not Recovered.

Augusta people were shocked Satur-
| day evening on learning that William
II. Smith of 142 Grove street, oldest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Smith
of Ill Grove street, and one of the
we'll known and promising young men
of Augusta, had been drowned in the
Kennebec river just below Loyejoy's
Narrows, Dresden, early that after
noon while on a motor boat trip to
Five Islands, Sheepscot bay, in COM
pany with younger brother, Arthur,
aged about is years. The news of the
drowning WAS brought to Augusta by
the latter. who arrived home late i'll
the evening.

The particulars of the sad affair
were learned from Arthur after his
arrival home last night, half distract
ed by the loss of his brother and worn
out with his experiences of the day
He told his story in disconnected
way and from him it was learned that
| the two had stopped at Iceboro as in
tended and then resumed their jour
ney, passing down the east side of
Swan Island
1t had been raining and they had
the storm hood of the launch up the
ends being open. Arthur was in the
| bow of the launch steering it and
| Winding the engine and William was
| i'll the stern. While passing through
LoyejeX,s Narrows Arthur looked back
| through the hood and saw his brother
standing at the stern. 1t was then
about 1.Se in the afternoon and the
launch was short distance north of
where \. N. Goddard of Augusta keeps
| a houseboat.
Shortly afterward Arthur heard a
| cry and on looking back saw William
| in the water far astern. Quickly real
izing the danger in which his brother
| was he tried to turn the launch and
While doing so the engine stopped. He
was unable to start it again for some
little time, and when again the boat
began to move his brother had dis
appeared. William was a good SWIM
mer, and thinking that perhaps he had
succeeded in reaching shore the young
man cruised about that vicinity until
late in the afternoon when, realizing
that his search was a hopeless one, he
started for home, bringing the boat as
far as F'armingdale, from which place
she was brought to Augusta by friends
Sunday morning.
Three launches loaded with mem
bers of the Augusta Yacht Club, of
which Mr.. Smith was an ex-secretary.
and accompanied by Night officer Cor
belt of the Augusta police, left late
Saturday night for the scene of the
drowning. Graphing for the body was
begun at O'Clock Sunday morning
and continued until late in the after
noon, but without success. Operations
will be resumed Monday morning.

HATS ORIGINATED IN 1910.
They Were First Used to Distinguish
Political and Religious Parties.

| Hats were first manufactured in
| England about 1910 and superseded
caps or soft headgear in the reign
of Queen Elizabeth. Wool was the
material first employed in forming
felt hats, but in time, as European
trade with America developed the tuf
| of the beaver being finer and softer
Icame into use, hence the term beaver
was long synonymous with hat
| For about three centuries fine beaV-
er hats dyed black and prepared with
Imuch skill formed the head covering
of the higher classes in Great BRIT
lain. This headgear distinguished
them from the middle and humber
classes, which continued for some
time to wear the less expensive caps
land bonnets.
| Political and religious differences
| have often been marked by the form
lof hats. The Puritan of the reign
lof Charles | adopted the steeple hat
Thigh and narrow, with broad orlm
land devoid of ornament. The cavalier
during the. same era wore a lower ana
lbroaded crown, with a feather stuck
on one side. The Quaker hat, low
lin the crown. with broad brHm ana
plain, dates from the origin OF the
sect at the middle of the seventeenth
lcentury.
| The history of hat manufacture IN
this country dates to very early coio-
lnial days. In 1852 the Assembly OIL
| Virginia enacted a law offering ten
pounds of tobacco for every good wool
or fur hat made in the colony. Deia-
ware in 1863 offered prize of ~
Ishillings for the neatest and best nat
manufactured in the lower counties.
South Carolina by 1867 had developed
a flourishing hat industry, with
iIarge export trade to the Spanish
lIslands Soon otter the close of the
revolution the manufacture of hats
had become of great Importance IN
PENNSYLVANIA, and from that time the
Industry has continued to flourish.
Felt hats are made in wide range
of qualities. THE finer and more ex-
lpensive Qualities are formed entirely
Iof fur; the eommoner qualities use
1 mixture of fur and SaXony wool.
For the lowest kinds wool alone is
employed. The processes and appara

straight edges, assumed the shape of
