the maid will marry bachelor; if into the soapy

EIGHT KILLED IN
MAINE RAIL WRECK
Smoking Gar Te|escoped When
Trains Collide.

Grindstone, Me-, July 31.-Eight per-
sons are dead and fourteen seriously
injured as the result of head-on col
lision which occurred at the Bangor
and Aroostock railroad station here.
The trains were a special of three
light coaches, containing about $50
excursionists, and regular passenger
express.
Five of the dead were passengers of
the excursion train. The other three
included the two firemen and the en-
gineer of the special. The five pas
sengers killed and all OF the injured
were in the smoking car directly be-
hind the engine of the excursion.
Both trains were moving slowly, one
of them just pulling out of the station
and the other slowing for a siding
where the trains were to have passed.
The accident appears to have been
due to a misunderstanding Of orders.
None OF the cars left the rails and
the passengers on the regular train
escaped with slight shaking up.
Grindstone is small settlement OF
not more than fifty persons, with no
facilities for the care of the injured.
They were cared for temporarily by
physicians on board the trains and
placed on a special train and taken
| to Millinocket.

LED BY HISTORIC VESSEL
Naval Pageant to Mark Opening o'
the Canal.

Washington, July 31.-Some United
States naval vessel whose history is
haloed by sentiment probably will
open the Panama canal at the head OF
a pageant of the navies of the world.
AS the completion of the great ditch
draws nearer the navy department is
being bonlbarded by suggestions from
nearly every quarter of the country.
Many express preference for the old
sailing man-of-war Portsmouth, the
defender of the Pacific coast during
the war between the United States
and Mexico. The Portsmouth is at
Norfolk, Va, as a quarantine ship. but
congress is considering an appropria-
tion of $4,000 to fit her out for the
trip to the Pacific.
1t has also been suggested that the
battleship Oregon be the first ship to
ply the canal in recognition of her ia
nous trip around the continent.
