" - At the terminal frelg hi yarda in Port land there ere now lyin three ere f freight that were Intended for Portland, Maine, f.ooe mtlee ewer. The rlroumeunoee that brought to Portland, .ere without pracafmit parallel in tna annate of rallroadl on tne moraine of Auruat It. In At pine.

' . - The wreck waa ctuitby a email and unimportant bridgebavin -been carried away., by a t lotto oauaed.br a terrtflo atorm. In the eeml-darkiieea of earlr morn ing the engineer .4f the Ill-fated train did not eee the' damage done to he bridge, and wKhout a moment'e warn ing the heavily-loaded train of eare thundered ti lte way and Into the yawnlngycavity left by JU dloappear ance -ofthe bridge.' When within a few fast nf tha ben IT the fireman aaw tha jlanaar. ahnnt. to the engineer to warn him anj ped from the ramdlv mnvi.n rah. But It wee too late, and the locomotive. logeiner wun eome or tne care, plunged Into the Mohawk river. IS feet below. four of the trainmen were kllle-1 and a greater part of the care were com pletely demolished, the woodwork Doing actually reduced to kindling wood. The qnls member of the crew to eurvlre the wreck waa the fireman. : who Jumped before tha craah. When the tangled cars were at laet righted and the goode were once more to etart on their way to their destina tion. It waa found that the bill were mlaalng from nearly all of them, and the railroad men were.at their wita' end to know where the gooda belonged. Among the freight care were three eara of clothing,, men'e rurnlahtnge, grocerlea and ehoea billed from New York city to Dodge, Pltarerald Co., of Portland. Maine. Through one of the Inexplicable mis take that aometlmea ocour In -the inoei eyatematio organisation. , theae gooda when they were loaded. Into new care were billed to Portland. Oregon, inatead of Portland, Maine? Y.r orer two month now they have bean completely loot, aa the original shipping bllle ahow that they were to have been aent to the Maine. jlty; but. the sou-tag clerk had labeled them for the Portland that baa beoome - eo - f arooue - la the 'laet two yea re. . . - , . : Frantic -litquitiaa by (leram' failed to locate them, and the. firm to whom they had been conaigned refused all cUlvj on them and -the A. h iX railroad had to eettle with Dod ritagerald Cc fur thepv theriby renalrlng all title to'tte gooda In case ihey were found. Wedneaday of laet week they arrived In the Portland yards, and no uoh firm aa Dodd, Fltsgerald Co. being' located here, the A. A B. road waa apprised of the fact by wire, As the eastern firm " had ' long ago duplicated their order to the manufac turers and the A. it B. railroad waa now the, owner of the gooda, they at once decided that It would be far cheaper to sell them In thle lively western city than to go to the expense and trouble of shlpplnghem all the way across the continent again, and Ahey are now negotiating with the various merchants of this city In regard to arranging or the disposal of them. The amounts are eo large, however,- that few of the .ooel men care to-add that much to their regular stork, and It ma be that these much traveled gooda will yet go back to the eeetern marketa for dletrlbutlon.

THIS SALE WILL BE UNDER THE PERSONAL DIRECTION OF-MR-JOHN L.-KUTNER Through one of the most absurd and unheard of blunders ever listed in the history of American railroading, the A.& Br railroalhaye to dispose of three carloads dT high grade goods at reta for Dodd,- "Fitzferald & Co., of Portland, Maine, In the early morning of August 28th, the quiet calm' of an ideal ;siimmermormng at Alpine, N. Y., was broken by a rendmg crash, when a heavily-loaded freight train plunged into, the Mohawk river. -The terrible accident was caused by the bridge hav ing been washed away by a severe storm the night before. ' The hipping directions were, of course, lost off of the cars, and when the wreck was righted and by referring to the original bills of lading, the railroad men at Alpine started these cars on their way again. Three cars in tended for Portland, Miane, were shipped to Portland, Oregon. As these goods were completely lost for months, the railroad had to pay the Eastern firm for them, and when at last the cars were located in this city, and no purchaser for so large an amount of merchandise could be found, they decided to sell them at retail, and have engaged the spacious salesrooms at 34 N. Third St., corner Couch, and will offer them at retail for whatever they will bring, rather than ship them all the way across the continent again. ( REMEMBER THE PLACE 34 N. THIRD SI- COR.
