A Narrow Escape.

Saturday night, just before the operators
in the telegraph Office of the Maine Central
offices, were about closing work and prepar-
ing to go home, they noticed strong odor of
smoke. They failed to ascertain the source
of the odor, when all at once the telephone
broke into flames. Water was procured and
the fire extinguished, but almost Immediately
after the flame burst out again. Investiga-
ton showed that an electric wire had
crossed the telephone wire, and hook was
obtained and the wire broken off. If the
affair had occurred after the operators had
gone, a serious fire would probably have
resulted

Is a complaint which affects nearly everybody,
more or less. 1t originates in impure blood, and
is aggravated by taking cold. Disagreeable flow
from the nose, tickling in the throat, offensive
breath, pain over and between the eyes, ringing
and bursting noises in the ears are the more COM
mon symptoms. Catarrh is cured by Hoods Sar-
saparila, which strikes directly at the cause by
removing all impurities from the blood.

BosToN's NEW THEATRE.

The opening of the new Hollis Street
Theatre in Boston was successfully accom-
plished last night, and notwithstanding the
pressure of preparation which up to the last
minute was very great, Gilbert and Sullivan's
Mikado was given for the first time in that
city with exceptional brilliancy and
smoothness. The event created general in
terest and the crowd was so great that hun
dreds were turned away. Gov. Robinson
and staff, Mayor O'Brien, Gen. Butler and
VIM. Warren, the veteran actor, occupied
boxes, the latter receiving reception from
the audience which compelled him to
come to the front and bow his acknowledge
ments Previous to the performance Mr..
Nat Childs delivered the dedication ode. The
interior of the theatre, which has been fully
described presented a brilliant appearance,
the general light and delicate coloring of the
walls and furnishings offering background
for the audience decidedly at variance with
the usual decoration of theatrical interiors.
The play itself was set and costumed IN q
style which was never before equaled in that
city, at least, and the acting and singing OF
all of the principals as well as the chorus
were conspicuous for quality for above the
average.

the past few days, and expects to finish it
within week. The title of the book is,

to grand review, and is replete with inter
esting sketches and anecdotes of Lin
coin and other great men with whom Gen.
Grant came in contact in civil and military
life. The general worked on his book fol-
several hours Tuesday, and wrote twelve
pages of the manuscript himself He has
written to his publisher denouncing the
statement recently published as coming
from Washington that while Gen. Grant
was furnishing the material and ideas for
his new book the real author was Gen Ba.
deau. He says that the work of composition
is entirely his owhr and that no one has ever
made use of his notes in the manner stated.
Having besn undressed, and composed
himself in his two chairs at about the usual
time Tuesday night, Gen. Grant slept with
but few wakings until between Z and s
O'Clock Wednesday morning The glandulaI
swelling at the angle of the jaw beneath
the right ear was Tuesday night very much
swollen AMI quite hard. The general was
doing no work Wednesday in the way Of

Barker left Gen. Grants house in the after

in the interior Of the buildings said they
could smell the sickening odor of burning
human flesh, and, occasionally, when the
wind blew in that direction, the crowd
standing on State street could distinctly de-
tect the same horrible smell. The tenement
houses on Atlantic avenue that had their
rears burned out were still unoccupied and
were in charge Of policemen. The occu-
pants sheltered themselves Tuesday night as
best they could, kindly neighbors having
taken the most of them in.
Three bodies, charred beyond recognition,
were recovered Tuesday. After two hours
work Wednesday the remains of another
body were found, and it has been identified
as that of Edward Butler Up to Il
O'Clock, Wednesday none OF the bodies re
covered had been fully identified, although
one OF them is believed to be that of DAME
