the Tale Of an Umbrella.

An umbrella, which was evidently intended
expressly for the Wandering jew, made its
appearance at McAdam Junction, N. B.,
the other day, having arrived by express
from Halifax, en- route to Quebec. This
umbrella is old and battered and travel
stained, and during the past three months 1t
has travelled thousands of miles in search of
an owner. 1t was first sent out from the
office of the United States Express Company
In st. Louis. and first travelled South. After
visiting nearly all of the Southern and
Western states the umbrella fitted over into
Canada, took a trip on the Canadian Pacific
to Vancouver. then crossed to Hong Kong
and returned over the ocean and the con-
tinent to st. John, N. B. From st. John the
much-traveled umbrella was sent to Halifax,
from which place it was forwarded via Nc
Adam Junction to Quebec to catch the
steamer for Liverpool. 1t is completely
covered with tags, labels and wrapping

companies.

the defendant.

Knight. Action to recover damages for per-
sonal injuries from an assault and battery by
the defendant. The PLAINTIFFS husband
leased the defendants farm In West Fal-
mouth for five years. Mrs. Knight had some
things stored in the attic and in the carriage
shop. On last Christmas day Mrs. Knight
went out and called fo- the keys TO the car
rage house. This is the plaintiffs story.
Mrs. Bickford told her her husband had
them with him In the city. Mrs. Knight did
not believe her, but went to searching for
herself. She went into the pantry where the
keys used to hang. Mrs. Bickford saw her
take up metal hand force pump, and think
ing 1t was included in the property leased
told Mrs. Knight to let 1t alone. Mrs. Bick-
ford took a pan OF biscuit from the oven
and started into the pantry when, as she
says, Mrs. Knight, without word of warn
ing, struck her hard blow over the head
with the force pump. daZing her but not
knocking her down, There was little alb
rasion so that 1t bled little. She claims
that this blow has ruined her health; that
whereas she was before this healthy rugged
woman she is now extremely nervous, una
Die to sleep nights, and is the victim of ex-
treme nervous prostration. She claims two
thousand dollars damages.
Mrs. Knight says that she went into the
pantry TO get the force pump belonging to
her, when Mrs. Blckford grabbed hold of It,
claiming 1t was included In the lease, and
undertook to take 1t away. They struggled
for the possession of it, and it may be that
Mrs. Bickford in the contest got slight la

NO MORE ELEVATORS.
Mr.. Tucker Says the Maine Central
Will Not Build Them.

The regular biennial story that the Maine
Central people have bought or bonded the
Cape shore from point near the marine
railway to Portland bridge has been revived,
Its proper time having come around again.
Ihis time several additions are made to the
story, fitting the advancement OF the times.
we are told now that the shore above and
below the bridge and dry dock has been Sc
cured for dock and elevator purposes, the
same to be connected with the city by a
Drldge just above the present Portland
bridge. This land is said to have been
bought for the Joint use Of the Maine Cen
tral and Canadian Pacific and to serve as
the landing place of several OF the English
steamers. This seemed to be plausible
story because few weeks ago there were ar
ticles In the papers expressing doubts as to
the capacity of the elevator Of the Grand
trunk for so many steamers as are to land
here this winter.
General Manager Tucker. however, denied
the whole story yesterday. He said that so
far as the Maine Central Is concerned there
is no truth in it, and that without any posi-
tive knowledge Of the actions Of the Cana
dian Pacific he was willing to wager large
sum that there is nothing In that too. Mr.
Tucker said he was sorry that he could not
Say the rumor was true and that work would
begin tomorrow, because he wished the
docks and elevators could be built for the
sake of the additional business they would
bring in for the Maine Central and for the
port in general.
This denial will probably dispose OF the
story for another two years, when it will
take fresh start and perhaps will be true
that time.

a FEARFUL RUNAWAY,
SkilIings's Barge capslzes at the
Corner of York and Park Streets.
Three OF the Passengers Very seri-
ously Injured.

Portland people will recall the yellow ON
nibus that had its stand on Congress street
at the United States hotel, drawn by pair
OF mild hammered, hard working horses.
yesterday morning the "bus," which runs
between the city and Ligenia started with
some eight or nine female passengers for
Calvary cemetery. The statement is made
That, on turning the omnibus from Pleasant
street into Park, the traces unlocked and
the horses started to run. Mr.. Charles
Skillings, who is very careful driver, had
the reins,an he attempted to turn the ''bus"
into Gray street, but heavy team stood In
the way. The horses gathered speed and
Mr.. Skillings tried to set the brakes, but they
wouldn't work. Down the steep hill the
horses ran. AS York street was reached
Mr.. Sktllings tried to get them little more
to the side so as to have a clearer turn for
the Park street bridge, but the wheels struck
the culvert and over went the "bus."
The passengers were spilled in every di.
rection. Most of them as far as is known, es-
capped with bad bruises. The residents in
the vicinity of the accident were very kind
and did all the could to relieve the sufferers
ever, who were very seriously hurt-Mrs.
james Quigley, who resides ON Washington
street. was taken into Mr.. Bucknam's. She
was stunned by the shock of the fall and al
most scalped. Her head was terrible sight
The cutting was probably done by the glass
from the window of the "bus." DIR. Hutch,
inson attended the woman and she was TAX
en- to her home in Rich's ambulance. Mrs
John Collins, who lives in Dunphy's yard,
off of Mountfort street, complained of her
back. and it was feared she had received in
ternal injuries. DR.. O'Neil attended her in
Leighton's store, where she was carried, and
thence she was taken hlme in the ambu-
lance. Both Mrs. Quigley and Mrs. Collins
are women about sixty years of age. Mr..
Skillings, the driver. was badly cut and
bruised and his nose was broken. DR..
O'Neil dressed his wounds. 1t is wonder
that more were not seriously hurt.
