An interesting lecture upon Hamlet was

| of the play he passed to its central
| figure Hamlet. He painted Hamlet as q
man of thought rather than of action, show
| ing the resemblance between his character
as depicted by Shakespeare and that of the
agnostic and pessimist of the nineteenth CEN
| tury The speaker closed by comparing the
skill displayed by Shakespeare in his treat
ment of the remarkable character of Hamlet
with that displayed by the most famous Of
the old Greek dramatists.

there to the shipping department and build

the block bounded by North Tenth street
and Eleventh street and the river and Kent
avenue.
As soon as the flames reached the oil, it
was beyond the control of the firemen.
The fireboats rendered excellent service in
getting vessels out of the way which were at
the wharves, and extinguishing the flames on
those which had taken fire, Three vessels
and the steamer Havis were partially burned.

carrying bundle Of clothes belonging to the

SIX THOUSAND PEOPLE
Buried in the Ruins of a Vast Amphi
theatre.

QuINcY, H., Oct. IL,
A grand stand was erected here yesterday
TO accommodate the five thousand people
who were TO witness the display of fireworks,
1.-The Bomoardment of Alexandria" The
amphitheatre was crowded with people and
probably not less than six thousand were
massed upon the seats. Scarcely had the
first rocket been fired when the supports of
the west end of the structure gave way and
the 500 feet of seats sidled over and the vast
multitude were hurled upon the ground and
buried in the mass of lumber which fell
upon them.
The air was filled with the cries and moans
of the injured, while the panic stricken
sought escape from the debris.
With the descent of the platform the cleo
tric lights which were to light the ground,
but which were extinguished to aid the dis
play, were incapacitated for service, and the
darkness of the scene added to its terror.
As the lights from the pyrotechnics lighted
up the place the able bodied sought their
friends, while the more humane began the
work of aiding the injured.
Some say that fully five hundred people
were hurt, and this is probably true, but l50
will doubtless include those who were injured
at all seriously

The inquest in the case of Thomas Ftz-
gerald, who was killed at the Court street
crossing Wednesday night, was held at the
council rooms, beginning at T. NJ. yester-
day. The men on the engine which crushed
him testified that they were not running over
four miles an hour as they backed out of the
round house. They also testified to the eff
feet that they considered the crossing rather
dangerous and poorly lighted; the engineer
saying that he had had trouble
there before but had always pre-
vented accident by applying the brake in
season. Did not know that they had run
over anyone till they were informed of it
some time after the accident
Officer Breen testified that he found bot
tie of liquor on the person of the decease d
with lone good drink" gone from it.
Patrick Hanrahan testified that he was at
Mr.. Fitzgerald's house and deceased left
there about $50 IN a perfectly sober condi-
ton Patrick Collins corroborated this but
said deceased didn't leave the house between
4 and $50 z. NJ.
Mr.. G. c. Flagg testified, how
ever, that the deceased was in Fifed's store
about p. NJ, and was sober at that time.
Michael Costello who lives in Court Ave .tes-
titled that deceased was at his house and left
there in sober condition about p. NJ.
Several witnesses testified that Thos. Nc
Gowen told at the undertaker's, Wednes lay
after the accident that he drank
from bottle with Fitzgerald on the railroad
track, back of the bake shop short time
before the deceased met his death. At the
inquest McGowen denied this. Consid-
cradle was said by the other witnesses to
McGowen on account of his changed story
much to the latter's discontinue. After
taking the testimony Coroner Libby and
the jury visited the scene of the accident.
The jury found that the deceased came to
his death between the hours of $50 and .25
O'Clock on the evening of Oct. 10, 1888, on
the Maine Central Railroad Company's track
at point where the sidewalk passing over

the round house to the passenger depot
throwing him under said tender and engine
between the rails of said track crushing the
spine, ribs, and shoulders and 9TH
erwise mutllatng the body OF
said deceased causing immediate death. The
jury further find that no blame is attached
to the servants of said company operating
said engine causing the accident, and the
jury are of the opinion that said railroad COM
pany should at once locate and maintain an
electric light at the Court street crossing and
keep the same burning every night covering
the passage of all trains or to construct and
maintain signal gates at said crossing.

the rear brakeman of the train known as
section -Four, was swinging danger signal
at least 200 feet from the rear of that train.
The red signal was out at the station also
and red light at the end of the rear cars.
The on-coming train with its immense
human freight was slackened in response
to the signals, but just then Conductor Keith
line claims that he heard two whistles from
the forward section as a signal to go ahead.
He therefore gave the signal to the engineers
TO so on. When but fifty feet away from
the section ahead Engineer Cook and Fire
man Gallagher saw the danger. The lever
was partly reversed but it was too late.
