STATE HOUSE MATTERS.

Monday was rather quiet day at the
ried away very little on his note book after
MS tour of the Capitol. Down in the Board
OF Health department DIR. Young has been
making careful, microscopic examination
OF specimens of pork from the same hog as
that which was eaten by the two sons of Mr..
Halioweil of Windsor. and which resulted In
trachne poisoning, full report of which
case was published in the Kennebec journal
at the time. The boys were attended by DIR.
Perkins of Windsor, and the fatal results
which frequently-we might almost say
usually-come from this dread and fatal
disease, were averted- As this is about the
first case of the kind which has ever been
reported, the Investigations of Dr. Young are
naturally of much interest and have been
performed in most thorough manner.
Eleven slides of this pork were examined
under the microscope, and nine of them were
found TO be infected with trachina In one
slide two specimens were found, in another
four, and in another five. From this it will
be seen In what great danger these boys were
placed, both of whom had eaten to quite an
extent of uncooked pork from this hog. In
the west this disease is quite prevalent and
exceedingly fatal. The promptness with
which DIR. Perkins recognized the nature OF
the disease and the successful manner in
which he treated it, are most complimentary
to his skill as physician and that both Of
these boys escaped death is undoubtedly due
to his prompt and efficient treatment of the
case.

The oil City Pa Derrick speaks as fol-
lows of the drama Daniel Boone" which
will be presented in Granite Hall this even
ing
The initial production in this city of the
romantic border drama "On the Trail; or,
Daul Boone. the Pioneer" occurred at the
Opera House last night. 1t seems that the
entire population of the city was there en-
aiaSSe to witness 1t. as standing room on
l," was at premium at 80. 1t is safe to
say that not a solitary individual went away
dissatiS ticl with the piece or the company
An agreeable and important feature was the
entire absence of the blood and thunder eie-
mcut which We have been SO accustomed to
in dramas of this kind. W. \ Laville, APP
pcared rs Daniel Boone and surprised all by
has maSterly rendering of this rather difficult
part He is the poS>essor of rare histrionc
ability His acting possesses the merit OF
being natural in the extreme, and the horses,
animals and Indians were a great feature.
The support was excellent, the scenery
superb. and all in all it was a perfect pro-
luctiou. Not the least notable feature OF
the evening by any means was the excellent
music furnished by the orchestra connected
with the company. We predict long and
successful run for this play.

The Ghost OF Dead River Swamp.

The mystery of the Dead River Swamp
has been cleared away. For year past
the people in that neighborhood have
been terrified by the appearance after
nightfall of weird object near the pub.
lie road in the swamp. Travellers can ev-
idence that after night at certain point
in the road figure dressed in white ap-
peared and moaned piteously as it
crouched beside the road. Excitement
ran so high that no one could be in
duced to travel the road after night. The
negroes who lived near, left their cabins
and deserted their crops. No one had
the courage to investigate the mystery
until one night Dick Dennis, reckless
character, made Q wager to some of his
associates with whom he had spent the
night few miles from the haunted spot
that he would prove what the ghost
was. He accordingly started a little
after midnight ON the road. As he APP
preached the spot where the object
usually made its appearance. his horse
SHE'D, and figure robed in white knelt
In the road and moaned and cried. In
an instant Dennis shot at the object and
sprang beside it. With cry OF pain
the spectre fell to the ground and the
immediate discovery was made that it
was man, and that he was dangerously
wounded. Later his identity was fully
established. His name is Swinton. 4
year ago he murdered his wife and es-
capped. Leading hermit's life impaired
his health and affected his mind, and he
put on white robe and chose the swamp
for retreat.
