FIREMAN CLEMENT KILLED.
Ellsworth Man Victim of Wreck on
Mt. Desert Branch.

Asbury S. Clement, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. M. H. Clement of Ellsworth,
fireman, died at the East Maine gen
eral hospital in Bangor at II o'clock
last night, from injuries received
when his locomotive left the rails at
Brewer yesterday afternoon, and top
pied over. He was terribly scalded
by steam The engineer, Charles T.
Ferry of Bangor, cousin of Mrs.
Charles w. Hurley of Ellsworth, was
also badly scalded, but it was stated
at the hospital this morning that his
chances for recovery were good
The train was the afternoon train
down, leaving Bangor at $50. The
accident occurred at the curve near
the brick-yard in Brewer. The loco
motive left the rails at the brick yard
crossing, due, it is stated, to hard,
baked clay packed between the rails
and planking, causing the flanges to
leave the iron. The locomotive ran
along on the ties for 200 feet or
more before topping over and down
the bank. The forward trucks of the
baggage car also left the rails, but
the passenger cars remained on the
rails and none of the passengers was
seriously injured.
Rumors flew fast down the line,
the first report being that three had
been killed, causing anxiety to those
awaiting relatives and friends on the
train, but no authentic information
could be obtained, and passengers
were not allowed to leave the train to
telephone anxious friends even after
it was hauled back into the Bangor
yard.
Mrs, Clement, who, with her two
children, was visiting in Ellsworth,
was waiting at the Ellsworth station
with lunch for her husband. She
received severe shock when called
by telephone and told that her hus-
band was severely injured, and adj
vising her to hurry to Bangor if she
wished to see him alive. She was
with him at the end.
Mr.. Clement was thirty years of
age. He was a member of Lygonia
lodge, F. and A. M, of Ellsworth,
and when he moved to Bangor was
serving as junior deacon. He was a
member of the chapter and of Scot
fish Rite bodies in Bangor.
He leaves, besides his parents, a
widow, two children, Frances and
Richard, and three brothers, Orrin
NJ, Roscoe and Clair, all of Ellis
worth. The family has the sympathy
of all
A masonic funeral will be held at
the home of his parents in Ellsworth
tomorrow afternoon at $50.

His Wife Curbed Peter Stuyvesant
Peter Stuyvesant, governor of the
Dutch settlement Of New Amsterdam,
which is now New York, married
Judith Bayard, French Huguenot,
the daughter Of minister Of that call
ing. She seems to have been very
remarkable woman, both for her
beauty and social accomplishments,
and for her practical good sense and
sound judgment. It, was his wife's
presence which gave social tone to
the Stuyvesant administration, and it
was she to whom her husband turned
when harrassed by cares of state. He
was VIGOROUSLY irascible and quick
tempered, but his wife was able to
deal with his humors, and maintain
harmony in the household. She sue
cessfully educated her children in a
land where good teachers were 50
scarce that education was a rarity.
