Freight train o>». i.. in charge of Engineer Towle and Con ductor Grant, was derailed below Milli kan's crossing in this city at 9.15 Mon day morning, three cars in the middle of the train being stripped off their trucks as the result of the breaking of a wheel. None of the train hands were injured. The accident blocked traffic on the west-bound track until late last evening and the east-bound could not be used for two hours, during which time the combined section crews of Augusta. Hallowell and Gardiner moved the track IS inches so that trains could pass in safety. Train No. 42 was on time and pass ed the Milliken station at ordinary but not high speed at 9.15. An upward freight was passed at this point only a minute before the accident occurred. Had the break occurred while the trains were passing it was evident to those who were on the spot that a much more disastrous accident would have resulted. Train No. fit was detained here for one hour and a half, when it was able to proceed on the east-bound track owing to the alterations which had been made by the section crews. The wrecking train front Waterville came down behind No. fit hut did not commence the work of clearing the wreckage until noon. Just what first occurred to cause the cars to become derailed is a mat ter of conjecture. For a distance of 500 feet north of the point where the wrecked cars finally stopped there is a deep furrow in the center between the rails; in some instances the sleep ers were nearly cut through. The first oar affected was a refrigerator. Both forward and rear trucks were stripped from this car, also from the car fol lowing and the forward truck of a third car likewise. The first two cars rested on the rails without trucks when the train finally stopped. The big SO-ton steam crane was a part of the wrecking apparatus and late in the afternoon trucks were in place under the cars, although the crew worked with difficulty owing to a pre cipitous embankment on the east side. [Work was also retarded by the neces sity of frequently opening the cast bound track for the passage of trains. Many visited the scene of the, wreck during the day to watch tije in"tefc$f ing work progress. Mew rails and sleepers will be neces sary much of the distance involved. High School Notes. The baseball boys were out last night and put in some hard work on the dia mond. All showed up well and when they meet fiardiner Wednesday for the first scheduled game' the ‘'song" will bo different than on Patriot's day. It will mean a ringing- of tie- "old academy boll.” At last the 'Turner Art Pictures" have arrived and ate very beautiful. They arc "The chariot Race,” -Abra ham l.incoln" and "The Spirit of ’Til." Tito second team -was organized yes terday, Harold Fuller was chosen man ager and Manley Patterson captain. XL is hoped to get games with out-of-town teams as well as with any in town. An enthusiastic rehearsal of "Rio C3ramie" was held with Miss Andrews at Wilson hull yesterday afternoon. Tickets went on sale Saturday at .1. t‘. Whittier s and by members of both the High and Clarke schools. Buy your tickets of "the kids" they get a five pass for every 1(» sold. Help 'fbn along. The class parts of the graduating class are being worked up and ii is ex pected they will tie the best ever heard from the school. Caesar Falconi Has returned to school, after a Tong leave of absence. We wel come you,’Caesar. Huy Pickard recently cut liis fore head quite badly. He has the sympathy of the school. It is a strange fact that some people know more about the work done at the High school than they do about them own business, while at the same time those very same people never darken the doors of the building. It they did they would see that the work has at tained such a high standard that the school was kept on the New England Board of Education the past year. Alpha Council, R. and S. M. Alpha Council, Royal and Select Masters, worked three degrees on a large class of candidates at Masonic hall, this city, last evening. There were upwards of 100 present from Hallowell, Augusta, Winthrnp and adjoining towns, the temple being filled to its nt I most capacity. The inspecting officer was Right Illustrious Deputy Grand. Master Alfred S. Kimball. The work of Thrice Illustrious Charles R. Geteh ell and his officers was highly com mended. After the work a banquet was served at the Hallowell House, and as it was t.me of Landlord Stone's best it is a safe proposition that the evening closed very happily for all concerned. NATIONAL HOME.

The expansions in the volume of the dealings was not notable and business still was unduly congested in a few speculative favorites. The important feature was Unit the rise, however brought about, did not luring out impoitant offerings for sate. It is this condition of tine market that causes uneasiness to the outstanding short interest, which is admittedly still large. News of events of changing con- (Unions was given little responsibility for the day's movement. A good effect was caused by the down ward tendency of time money rates, which was looked upon as a better index of the rial money situation than the de teriorating condition of the banks. A buoyant market for copper securities in London and an advance in the quotation fir the ni-tal throw a helpful factor in the market. The incident regarded as of some .-fgnitieance was the .-a>e of a Stock Exchange seat at a price higher than the preceding sale. Recent crop damage reports apparently were regarded with some modification of views in the stock market anil the fore cast of rain iit the wheat belt had some effect on stocks.
