Amusement Notes.

The bad and the good followed each
other at the Grand last week. ''Alone in
London" had many good points, especially
in scenery. but they were Overshadowed by
the bad ones. Col Sim lost his grip when
he made up that company. Haverly's
MINISTRIES had really good show and did a
commensurate business. The Cragg family
and Ned Harley's singing were among the
good features.
For the first half of the week the Grand
will be empty, the ''Mikado" company hay
ing failed to connect. "a Tin Soldier"
will crowd the house at the end of the
week.
The "Adamless Eden'' will be on the
boards at the Comique this week.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.
G. w. Hammond Crushed to Death
by an Elevator.

A shocking elevator accident in which G.
W. Hammond was instantly killed occurred
at about o'clock last evening in the Bos
ton block. No one witnessed the casualty,
and consequently just how it happened is
only matter of conjecture. Mr.. Hammond
had been in the employ of Miller Bros, hard
ware merchants, as janitor for about two
weeks. The heavy hydraulic freight eleva-
tor was out of repair. The upright pipe
leaked and Mr.. Hammond was instructed
to try and remedy it. and was so engaged
during the afternoon. At about o'clock
the porter went to the basement to get
lantern. A moment later he returned
and seemed exceedingly agitated.
His face was ashy pale and he could not
speak, but managed to convey the idea that
he had made startling discovery i'll the
basement. Instantly several clerks ran
down the stairs. The elevator was standing
on level with the ground floor. and hanging
rigidly down on one side, tightly grasping
the lantern was discovered Hanlmond's
right arm. His head and one shoulder was
pinioned between the elevator floor and a
heavy timber, composing a side of the ele-
yator shaft at the first floor The BODY was
living on the floor of the elevator. Return
ing to the first floor attempts were made to
start the elevator down, but the effort was
futile. By dint of employing crowbars and
other tools after several minutes the ele-
vator was started and the body recovered.
Coroner Hill had the remains removed to
the city morgue, but it is not decided
whether an inquest will be held or not.
He will make ain investigation OF the cir

WANTS THE WEALTH.
May GainsfOrd Determined to Share
Her Husbands Money.

Nav Ogburn GainSford has made another
statement concerning her marriage with
Arthur Gainsford. this time to New York
reporter She says they were married in
Chicago by a magistrate whose name she
refuses to give. The marriage certificate
she supposes is with her husbands papers,
but she claims to be in possession of dupli-
cate. Her first intention was to go at once
to Judge Foraker and rely on his gener-
osity, but when she saw by the papers what
he had said concerning her, she consulted
lawyer and. by his advice, will keep silent.
Mrs Hoffman, her sister, said to a New
\ ork reporter:
Il want Judge Foraker to understand that,
while he is q pretty smart man, he will nave
Just us smart man against him if he pro-
vokes any contest against my sisters claims
as Mrs Gansford. My sister feels the death
of Mr.. Gainsford sadly, but she also knows
her rights and will maintain them. She was
and is 81 beauty, and has always been much
admired. Why, since she has been at this
hotel ever since last Saturday every morn

admiration for her, under her bedroom
