An Old Collection.
At the home of Mr. Ransom D. Cum
raings in liryant's Pond village one can
bo delightfully entertained for an hour
at least, with the inspection of ancient
furniture and the display of antique ar
ticles drawn together as treasures in his
possession.
A reminder of the old war days is a ι
powder horn, picked up on the battle _
field of Bunker Hill by Jonathan Conn.
This is a foot and a half in length and
holds two pounds of powder. As a com
panion to this, there is an old "Queen's
Arm," which was used by Conn in the
Revolution and brought by him to bis
home in New Hampshire and thence to
lietbel, Mo., where he was a resident in
ihe early forties.
Ια the line of china, there is a set that
;ame over in the Mayflower. This ware
s light in color, with sprays of gold and
:olors. It is prized very highly by the
^resent owner, comiug into his posses
lion through Celia Dean, whose owner
ihip was of the sixth generation in the
amily.
In one corner is an old bureau that ap
pears both ancient and clumsy. It is
nade of heavy pine, and its peculiar fea
ure is the chest attacbod on top.
Among the novelties can be seen a
:eutury old clock reel, every part of
rood, with a device to count the forty
breads in the grandmother's knot of ;
ram. Beside the bureau stands the old
>ne-leaf table, oblong in ehape and
Irawer on one side. Then again, there
s the loom, brought in by tbo early j
lettler, with its reeds of whalebone.
The spinning wheel as it was con
ducted ninety years ago, the wagon
iub mortar, the old tin candlo-mold for
welve, the mirror, with the picture top,
land paiuted, the clock with wooden
works, built by the old clock makers,
,angdon & Jones, at Burlington, Conu.
Hie above, with many other items rep
eseut a valued collection in memory of
'the good old days," and their owner j
:ertainly finds enjoyment in the posses- J
lion of such.

the 6tb, after an illneaa of only two or
three days, death being due to indigea
tion.
Mr. Spauldlng was born in Buckfleld,
Me., 74 years ago, and while still a young
man moved to Aroostook county, mak
ing his home in Fort Fairfield for a few
yeara before coming to Caribou. It was
at Fort Fairfield that he became ac
quainted with and married Miss Lavina

children were born, John S. Spauldlng,
who died several yeara ago, and Atwood
W. Spaulding, who haa been associated
with bis father in buslneaa for a number
of years. .
Mr. Spaulding was one of the found

Trust Co. of Caribou and a director In
both at the time of his death. For sev
eral years he haa been a director of the
Bangor & Aroostook R. R. and took an
active interest in the affaire of the road.
From 1870 until 1892 he served his town
in the position of town clerk. He waa a
member of Caribou Lodge, F. and A.
M., and a member of the Univeraalist
church, where he waa a constant attend
ant.
Mr. Spaulding waa especially fond of
children and there was nothing he en
joyed more than doing some act of kind
ness for a child. He had been in the
hardware business here for 42 years and
never a day passed, when he waa in town,
that did not find him at the store.
To mourn hie loss he leaves a son, At
wood W. Spaulding, one brother, (Benja
min Spaulding of Buckfleld,and a daugh
ter-in-law, Mrs. John Spaulding, who
bas made her home with him since her
husband's death.
The funeral was held at his home in

Percy R. Todd, president of the Bangor
& Aroostook ; General Manager J. B.
Stewart. H. P. Binney, a director of
Brown Bros, of Boston, and Hon. Carl
Ε Milliken of Island Falls, former pres
ident of the Maine Senate. In accord
ance with orders issued by President
rodd and as a mark of respect to Mr.
Spaulding's memory, all engines and
;rains on the road were brought to a stop
it 2:10 o'clock Thursday afternoon, re
gaining motionlese until 2:12.
Safety First.
Officers and employees of the Grand
rrunk Railway are trying by every
neane in their power, to prevent injuries
:o all persons—patrons, employees and
>tbers. But on looking into this sub
ect, they find that more than one-half
>f all persons killed on railways in Can
ida and the United States, are killed
vhile trespassing on railway property,
η this way in these two countries, fif
een persons are killed and about the
ame number injured for every day in
he year.
Perhaps you may think that the 11,000
>r more persons meeting with casualties
ivery year while trespassing on railways
ire tramps or hoboes; but the fact is
hat SO percent of them are useful citi
ons. Men walking on tracks to and
rom tbeir places of work or business,
:hildreu playing on tracks or flipping
are comprise the greater part of this
haraeful slaughter.
To most people it seldom occurs that
η walking on tracks they are taking any
•articular risk. It seems so easy to see
>r hear a train and when one thinks
bout the subject at all, he likely con
ludes that while others may have been
aught he will be more vigilant and es
ape.
Those injured and killed in this way
,re not the only ones who suffer. Their
amiiies being deprived of their earning
tower are called upon to bear a large
hare of the burden. The public is de
rived of the services of this large army
if persons and in a great percentage of
ases are compelled to contribute to the
are and maintenance of such persons
,nd dependent members in their fami
iee.
In view, therefore, of these facts and
η tho interest of public safety, every
lerson is earnestly requested not to walk
m or along railroad tracks both on ac
ount of his own eafety and for the sake
f setting a good example to others. Wo

ention of their children and instruot
hem as to the danger of walking or
•laying on or about tracks and of flip
ting cars.

A little before 2 o'clock Tuesday
aorning, the Oth, fire broke out in the
lodel Steam Laundry on Main Street,
