He has been saving the morphine pi Is given him from time to time to induce sleep When the deputy sheriff went in at 10 o'clock to shut the prisoners in 'he cells he noticed something wrong with Meyer who bade him “good-bye,” and said he would not lee him in the morning.

There appears to be a band of train wreck ers at work along the line of the Maine Cen tral. Several villianons attempts having been made of late to throw Jewett** train from the track. Yesterday moroiog as this train was bowling rapidly along on its way to Augusta, about a mile below Richmond, Engineer Brackett saw an obstruction on the track, where there wa% a sharp curve in the rosd. As he approaced nearer, he discovered the obstacle to be a two inch plank laid directly across the irons. The plank was struck by the cow-catcher, whirled around, one wheel of the locomotive passing over and crushing it. The engineer endeav ortd to stop his train on discovering the ob struction, but wa* too close upon it. The plank was evidently one which had been ta ken from the crossing where the obstacle was met. About two weeks ago the same train, when passing through the Winslow cut just this side of the Ticonie bridge at i Waterville, found a plank and a board rest ing across the rails. The train was running quite slowly, bu: the engine and tender both passed over the wood. When the luggage car struck the obstruction the train came to a standstill, no damage being done. No pun ishment would be too great for ihe cold blooded villians who have made these at tempts and an effort will probably be made to ferret them our.

It was the manufacture of kindling wood from the waste of saw mills, which has heretofore been burned by many firms in this State, at a considerable annual expense. The wood as it comes from the saw mill is sawed into about four inch lengths by a gang of circular saws, after wnich it is carried to a drying room. After being thoroughly dried the pieces of kindling wood are bound up in oval bundles of about fifteen by twelve inches, and are ready for shipment. When packed the wood is stolidly compressed by ir*n clamps, so that after the bundles are tied up they retain their oval shape, and can be handled as conveniently as though they were of solid blocks of wood The large amount of refuse wood annuallv consumed that it may be gotten rid of by the saw mills of the Stale would probably supply almost any city with kindling wood if ir could be prepared by a similar process and shipped to a market.
