The Devils Editor" of which the Phil,

Quite large company of acknowledged
fun makers served q double purpose at
the Park last night. Besides opening the
season at that handsome house, they in
troduced to Philadelphia q new farce
comedy of the most uprosrious descrip-
ton. 1.-The Devils Editor" is the title
of this new sspirsnt for public favor, and
1t was presented in an exceedingly clever
manner by an exceedingly clever COM
pany. The play itself is a vehicle on
which nun Der of highly amusing cir
cumstsnces ride, but they combine to
excite laughter, and the large au-
dience that helped to open the season
went away well pleased with the
entertainment provided. Sheridan and
Flynn, who perpetusted that awful Nc
Ginty song, head the company, but they
are ably assisted by little Alice Harrison.

Three Accidents in Dnysnnar1.

Henry Swanson. resident of Moline,
about 90 years OF age, was badly injured
by being run over by an electric car at
at the corner of Second and Iowa streets.
Davenport, last evening at about s
O'Clock. According to the story of the
motorneer of the car the man was under
the influence of liquor and was walking
along the street car track. The motor
man claims TO have rung his gong and
stopped his Car twice and then attempted
to pass the man when he was fairly out
OF the way, but that Swanson stag
gered back into the track just in time to
get run over. One Of the mans legs was
broken in two places and was nearly sew
cred at the ankle. He was taken in the
patrol wagon to the police station, where
DR.. Hill dressed the injured limb as well
as was possible. He was then taken to
Mercy hospital. There the injured limb
was amputsted at the ankle.
DR.. Allen, who with DR.. Hill. per-
formed the amputation, reports that the
man is as comfortable as could be ex-
pected and would probably survive the
mishap and resultant operation.
The 7-year-old daughter of Detlef
Steffen, of Davenport. was the victim of
sad and unusual accident Yesterda y
afternoon. She was playing near her
home. when a horse that had escaped
from the stable of William Witt ran over
her, the horse implanting its foot on the
little ones breast, inflicting injuries from
which she died within a few minutes.
A serious accident occurred this morn
ing in the car house of the Davenport &
Rock Island railway company on the
Davenport side. E. W. Forsyth, d
workman in the company's employ, had
been employed on the second floor and
stepped upon the elevator to go down
when it dropped to the floor, distance
of 20 feet. Mr.. Forsyth falling with it and
sustaining injuries about the back and
spine which may prove fatal.

A Mammoth oirder.

When the northwestern wing was in

which support the roof and the great
compound beams Of wrought steel we're

size, weight and strength had been
reached.

When Stanley's white officers had

Al, Turner the loader Of rho Rofois
p4e river surveying party, sat in his
Office in the Appraisers building sur
rounded BY great piles Of sleds, snow
shoes, mastodon tusks, reindeer antlers,
! furs and other relics Of the two years
spent on the Alaskan boundary. He is
loaded to the guards with interesting
narratives of Arctic life unalloyed with
the Munchausen tales Of hairbreadth es-
capes usually related by northern cxplor-
ers.
"The UNEMPLOYED country between the
Porcupine river and the Arctic ocean Is
revelation, said Mr. Turner. "There
are fine plateaus covered with a heavy
growth OF good fir and spruce until the
Davidson range is reached. We crossed
one plain which must contain 1000
square miles Of fine timber We found
reindeer In great numbers hero, some
times as many as 400 in single herd
The Davidson range - the water shed,
running northwest and southeast, and is
about seventy-five miles from the coast.
The average height is about 1900 feet,
though we found one peak 5000 feet
above the sea level. Many fine streams
rise in these mountains, flowing north.
"lIere Is something Of interest, " con-
tinued Mr.. Turner as he underworld to
lift the fossilized tusk Of mastodon from
his pile Of relics. Great numbers Of
these are found embedded IN a mudbank
on the Yukon river, 100 miles below Fort
Yukon, and the Indians sell them for a
drink Of whisky or pinch of tea. This
one measures over six feet in length, and
is fifteen inches in circumference. The
Indians told me that on Black river, fifty
miles above Fort Yukon, was the perfect
skull Of mastodon with the tusks still
in it. They said Il was about four feet
high az Il lay on the river bank. ! offered
