engine about 200 feet beyond the
crossing.
Conductor George D. Austin, an
other employe who has been with the
Maine Central for years, returned to
the crossing and awaited the arrival
of the police who after taking his
story allowed the train to proceed.
The ambulance from Conley and
Poisson arrived directly behind the
police, but few minutes after the
accident, and Miss Knowlton and
her father were rushed to the c. NJ
G. hospital for treatment.
Mrs. knowltOn's death had been in
stantancous so according to law was
allowed to remain in the position
where it fell until a medical examiner
could view the scene.
Outside of deep cut on her knee
there was no sign of injury to the
body. though the outer clothing was
torn from her body.
The heels of both shoes were torn
off and one was found at the base of
the signal tower past which the body
had been hurled. The other heel was
found some 25 feet past the body up
the track toward Greene.
The terrific force of the collision
was clearly shown by the fact that up
three or four feet on the fair grounds
fence 75 feet beyond where Mrs.
knowlton's body was found was a
break in the fence and on the ground
was one of the rear tires Of the ma :
chine, huge splinter of wood jammed
securely between two layers of metal
on the detachable rim.
A. w. Ridley, who is stopping al the
fox farm near Winthrop, who was an
eyewitness of the accident, says:
The auto was bound for Lewiston
crossing as the train spend around the
turn towards the fair grounds. The
engine blew the whistle but apparently
the driver Of tie auto thought he
could cross ahead of it. The train
brakes were applied but to no avail. A
collision was inevitable AS soon as
possible the train was stopped and the
trainmen and passengers hurried back
to the wrecked machine. An ambu-
lance was summoned and Mr. Knowl-
ton and his daughter were rushed to
the hospital. The coroner superintend-
ed the removal of Mrs. knowlton. Upon
examination it was found that the
heels had been torn completely from
Mrs Knowlton's shoes"

himself religious by calling somebody

more in the spirit of the man than in
the statements which he makes. The

THAT EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE PROPOSITION

So far as the Star wnows, the pro-
position Of Chairman Raney of the
democratic executive committee for
the committee to nominate a success.
or to Mr.. Sheats is confined to him
self. We have not heard of any other
member Of the committee favoring it..
Some, We know, are opposed to it.
This is the first time we ever lis
agreed with Mr.. Raney, who is a gen
tleman for whom we have the most
profound respect. Tt is impossible,
however, to agree with any friend in
everything.
The rules Of the democratic party
permit that a county committee, when
a county official dies or retires durin
his tenay to recommend to the gov
ernor a man to fill his place until the
next general election. But it does not
give any committee, county or state,
power to nominate candinate8 for amy
office.
We have not heard that it even
gives the state committee power to
recommend. The state committee
made no attempt to recommend to the
governor any man to succeed Mr..
Sheats. We do not remember any
state committee in the last thirty-five
years recommending to the governor
any man to fill vacancy.
The democrats Of Florida have re-
peatedly shown that they are impa-
tent Of any assumption of authority
by the state committee. Once they
rebelled against it for passing rules
that it had a clearly defined right to
do. Now, it's the Stars opinion that
if the committee meets and picks out
a candidate that there will be another
rebellion-this time one entirely JUS
tifiable. -Ocalo Star

THE ONLY Girl.

When you go back to the old home
town, after being away many years
one of the most startling discoveries
is the change wrought by time in fell
lows you once knew as town drunk
ards, loafers or DULLES.
A fellow who in his early twenties
was a O-good-"never be worth his
saut"-steps up briskly and wrings
Iyour hand. You learn that he is in
business for himself now and "doin'
fine"
He is restless. You guess that he
is anxious to confide. Then the great
and important secret comes out. He
met "the only girl' and married her
Proudly he opens the back of his
watch, shows you her picture-a
the things that are running around
the house besides the fence. She put
him to work.
A little farther down the street you
meet the fellow you once knew as the
town bully.
There is sad, reminiscent vacan-
| cy in his eyes, such as Napoleon must
have had at St. Helena The system
has caught him. He is Industrious,
obviously, but in such a timid way
that you wonder if he went in for
preaching.
Then his great secret comes out.
He, also, met "the only girl" and
married her. He doesn't tell you, but
you surmise that she has him well
tanned
Another familiar face looms up.
You cannot place him until you re-
alize that it is because his red nose,
bleary eyes and finger tremble have
disappeared.
The town drunkard!
You wiring his hand, comment how
well he is looking. Then you ask
him what he's doing to get "the
stuff" these days.
ooh" he boasts, putting up like
fresh blister, II never touch the old
hardware any more. Haven't had a

gers of it would make me sick. |

married now. l voted dry"
The good influence of good wom-
en- is about the finest thing in life.
Poverty is a sad handicap. So is ill
health. So are thousands of other
forms of misfortune.
But, when all is said and done,
the worst kind of bad luck that can
happen to man is in not meeting "the
only girP-or in meeting her and not
getting her.-Tampa Times.

BABOON BOOSTERS.

In New York the "fundamentalists"

drive on the ministers who hold to the
