noah CLAIR, CITY
EMPL0YE, VICTIM
FATAL ACCIDENT

Noah Clair, who has been employed by
the city for number of years. was In
stantly killed Tuesday morning at about
1880 by falling from the city garbage
team which he was driving. Mr.. Clair
in company with Frank Rheaume had
made the morning collection of garbage
and was on the way to the dump at the
foot Of Water street. He was ridin~ back
in the body of the cart and was just In
front Of the hose house when he started
to get up to the seat. He swung one leg
up over the back of the seat and then
suddenly pitched over backwards strik-
ing on his head and breaking his neck
Before the team could be stopped the
rear wheels of the cart went over his
shoulders. He spoke once. saying: "Oh,
I Frank, help me-" and was dead. The
accident was witnessed by Charles
Brown, who drives the Hose 8 team, and
Gedeon Maheu. Mr.. Maheu was nearest
to the team and he ran and picked Mr..
Clair up and with the help of Rheaume
and Brown carried him into the hose
house. DR.. p. B. Hurd happened by and
he examined the man and pronounced
him dead, saying that his neck was
broken. The police department was then
notified and Medical Examiner Fish, but
after the body had laid on the floor Of
the hose house until after IL o'clock Off
Ger Sturtevant. who had been summoned,
ordered it removed to the undertaking
rooms. Undertaken Roderick had been
summoned and the body was then remov-
ed to his rooms.
Mr.. Clair had been an employee of the
city for the greater part of the time for
number of years. He was injured last
year while at work on the stone crusher,
one eye being lost as a result of the ac-
cident This year he had been working
faithfully for Mr. Estey and was consid
cred by the street commissioner as one
Of his most faithful men. He is survived
by wife and four children who are all
small. and by one child by a former mar
rage, Mrs. Ceina Pooler of this city;
also by two brothers, Tom, who is en-
ployed by the city, and Joe, who is an
employee of the Maine Central in the local
car shops; and three sisters, Mrs. Agnes
Baldic of Augusta, Mrs. Mary Diggs of
Dover and Mrs. Lavina Zero of Old
Town.
Medical Examiner Fish viewed the body
Of Mr.. Clair during the afternoon and
decided that an autopsy would be neces
sary to determine beyond a doubt the
cause of death and it will be performed at
o'clock Wednesday morning. Hon. Mar
tin Bartlett, representing the insurance
company which carries the citys liabil-
ity insurance, was seen and he requested
that DR.. D. B. Cragin be allowed to be
present in behalf of the insurance COM
pand, and that DR.. Henry Abbott, city
physician. will also be present in behalf
Of the city.

RAILROAD WORK
FOR THE FUTURE

man who was in position to know
said that more extensive changes are
soon to be made in the railroad yards in
this city and that they would involve the
doing away with the upper College ave-
nue. crossing and that there was a posi-
bility that the lower one would also be
done away with, although no plans as
yet have been made for that. He claimed
to know that the plans for the change at
the upper crossing had been made and
that they were soon to be submitted to
contractors for bids. The new line from
Bangor through Fairfield will raise the
track all through that town and down
into the yards by several feet and It
would not take a great deal Of work to
make the crossing there so that the
street would go under the tracks and 1t
would do away with what has always been
a bothersome crossing, although thanks
to- the care of the men tending 1t, never
a dangerous one This same man claimed
that all grade crossings in Fairfield as
far as the new Bangor line would be done
away with and that 1t is planned to give
the road an uninterrupted sweep to Gin
ton. 1t is pointed out that 1t is only a
question Of a year or so before the Kineo
traffic will be coming down through Fair
field and as a result that will be a very
congested piece of railroad between this
city and Fairfield and with the electrics
the elimination Of the grade crossing Will
be almost a necessity.

A Joint meeting of the Watervlle Au-

room in City hall Tuesday afternoon to

Wednesday, to be present at hearing by
the State Highway Commission on the
question where the federal aid money
was to be expended. President Reding-

Hon. c. S. Hitchborn of Augusta regard
ing the matter, which stated that the
highway commission would grant hear

strong delegation from Waterville be or,

It was not thought advisable to appoint

they would urge others to do so also.

Cost Of Mjsdirected Letters.

Do you know that 40 per cent Of the
mail handled by the postal department
Is wrongly addressed? Business men
are chiefly responsible for the receipt
and dispatch of improperly addressed
mail This statement applies to the
dealer in the small interior town as
we'll as to the business men Of the larg-
er city.
In the larger cities letters are sent
without writing the street address on
the envelope. In the smaller towns an
equally great mistake is made in not
more definitely designating the location
Of the town. These errors result in an
enormous expenditure Of time and
money for the postal department in
looking up addresses and going through
volumes Of indexes to find the proper
address and costs the postal depart
ment as high as $4,000 a month in
some Of the larger cities alone. This
expense is proportionately large in the
smaller places.-Farm Machinery.

develop meantime was uncertain, al
that certain Of the leased lines inter-
ests had virtually decided to contest
proposal of receivership.
These leased lines, notably the Con-
cord & Montreal and the Connecticut
River Railways have the dominating
influences in the objections to plan
for reorganization to which most of
the elements in the Boston & Maine
had assented. This plan would have
made the system a single corporate
entity, wiping out existing rental
charges of the subsidiary roads which
are claimed to be excessive. Under the
receivership sought in today's petition,
such leases may be broken by order of
the court and in this fact the directors
see a solution for their troubles, it is
understood. while the minority leased
line interests see means of break
ing the present lucrative contracts.
One of the directors, who would not
be quoted, said the decision not to ask
for further extension Of the notes was
reached, because the roads condition
is such that it cannot pay its indebted
ness, and because of the probability
that it would be covered with attach
ments which would tie up it's business
to the detriment Of all creditors"
Neither this director nor Boyd B. Jones,
the attorney who fled the bill. would
say why it was brought by a creditor
whose note still has nine days to mature.
Nor would Jones say whether the direc-
tors of the road had prior knowledge Of
his action, although he had visited the
directors room while they were In ses-
sion.

ORIGIN Of ~rhs Mar.siIIaiss..

Origin Of "The MarssiIlaise."
Strange d 1t may seem, neither the
poem nor the music Of the French ma
honal hymn, 1.-THE Marseillaise," was
written at Marseilles, and the original
title included no suggestion Of the
great seaport on the Mediterranean.
It was in translation War Song Of
the Army Of the Rhine" and 1t was
composed in the city of Strasburg by
civil engineer three years after the
fall Of the Bastile.
Word had come that the South Ger
man states had combined with France
against Prussia and Austria, and in
the home Of Mayor Dietrich Of Stras-
burg the new song was sung. The mu-
sic was arranged for military band and
was widely disseminated. On the Both
Of July, 1892, a company OF soldiers
from Marseilles entered Paris singing
Rouget de Isles song, which was
then about nine weeks old. To this
same tune they marched to the attack
on the Tuileries on the 10th Of August.
It had been intended as marching
song for the army Of the Rhine, but
the people Of Marseilles pre-empted it,
and it has always borne their name

In Police Circles

Mrs Peter Quincy of Middle street
was before the police court Tuesday on
the charge of drunkenness and making
a disturbance The police have been
called to this house a number Of times
in the last few months and Mrs. Cur
ney has been before the court recently.
She was given sentence Of 80 days in
Jail and sentence was suspended on
condition that she and her husband get
out Of town, bag and baggage, not lat
ter than next Monday. They agreed to
do so. One man was also before his
honor who had been up on Monday
morning and had paid fine and costs.
He was sentenced to pay S. and costs
and said that he would be able to get
the money when he got to Augusta. A
man from Clinton, who was we'll dress
ed and did not look like a common
drunk, paid the usual fine and costs
and one man who looked about like the
usual drunk went down as he did not
have the necessary money to pay.
Frank Vashon, who lives on the
Plains, was arrested by Patrolman
Butler Monday night and was to have
been before the court at 2 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon on the charge Of
swearing on the street and assault and
battery. He was in court ready to be
tried and there was a large concourse
Of witnesses and Attorney Clair was
there ready to defend him, but for some
reason Recorder Plumstead, who was
to try the case, did not appear Re-
peated conferences were held in the
office of the judge, that of the city
marshal and in the corridors. During
one of them Vashon and the recorder
had heated argument in the corridor,
greatly to the amusement of good
sized audience. 1t was finally stopped
by the appearance of Attorney Clair.
The crowd stayed around until after 5
O'Clock before it was definitely an
nounced that the case would not be
taken up on Tuesday but probably
would be on Wednesday, Vashon
claims. so it was understood, that he
was falsely arrested and he is going to
sue the city for damages and also the
officer. He demanded of the recorder
Tuesday afternoon that he agree to
have Patrolman Butler and Special Of
ficer Vashon, who was in some way
mixed up in it, removed from the force
and also that the city should pay all
the bills which had been incurred If
the case ever comes to trial it promis-
es to be an interesting one.
Two boys, Wilfred and Henry Ber-
nard. who were arrested for trying to
break into the w. B. Arnold store, were
before the court Tuesday afternoon and
were paroled by the court in the care
of Probation Officer Foster Of Win
throp until Sept. 10. and he in turn pa
rolled them in the care of their father,
to report to him every Saturday.
