Collision in the Harbor.

The fishing schooner Mary Fl. Lewis in
getting way from Central wharf yester-
day, jibed and threw her wheel out of
gear and became unmanageable.
She was moving straight for the
schooner Fairy Queen, which lay along
side the schooner j. T. Glover at the end
of Custom House wharf, and though the
anchor was dropped and jib let go to
bring her head around. she crashed into
the Fairy Queen with considerable force.
The force of the collision was sufficient
to drive the Fairy Queen against the J.
T. Glover and crush in the bulwarks Of
the latter vessel. The head gear of the
Fairy Queen was considerable stove up,
and a dory alongside which lay between
the colliding vessels and received the
full force of the shock was smashed to

A Man at Kennebunk Runs Down Train

A Man at Kennebunk Runs Down Train
Passengers arriving on the p. m.
train from Boston yesterday, reported
curious accident that happened as the
train was going through Kennebunk.
The train had just passed the Elms at a
high rate of speed, and was crossing the
highway, when a team was seen tearing
towards the train at a furious rate. A
man, described by one observing passen-
ger as dressed in faded brown suit, sat
in the wagon with his head dropped over
to one side as if asleep. He seemed to
hold the reins listlessly, although the
horse was dashing right on to the train.
The team struck the last car about mid
way, creating considerable excitement
among the occupants of the side of the
car upon which the horse rushed. The
horses head was bent to one side the
moment it hit the car, and the next in
slant horse, wagon and man were flung
to utter collapse. When the train stop
ped it was found that the thills Of the
wagon had SCARED the side of the car,
and considerable of the horses hair was
also found on the car. But there was no
blood anywhere about, indicating that
the wheels had passed over neither horse
nor man,

w ., ssy' ,s sa's
things about
the immense variety Of
our line Of draperies, and
yet we haven't said a
word too much or one
that the stock cannot
back up.
With the constant i'm
provement that's going
on in the making of every
sort of fabric used for
curtains, draperies and
other house decoration
you'd naturally look for
an increased cost, but in
this you're disappointed.
There's never been a time
when rich, handsome and
tasteful things Of this sort
could be had for so little.
The advantage of all the
thought, taste and skill
that's put into the better
ing Of draperies is yours.
The brilliancy and fresh
ness Of the designs Of the
new things which this de-
partment is offering now,
recommend them to aes-
thetic tastes.
One of the best liked
materials for chamber cur
tains, sash draperies, ETC.,
is the scrim-mulls which
come in all the new bright
shades. We have just
opened a fresh arrival Of
these at SC. a yard, also a
complete new line of
crepes used for the same
purposes.

GEORGIA RESPONDS.

The day she called they answered her sons,
the brave and free.
Far from her mystic mountains, down to her
crcling sea-
They answered from the highlands, whose
brows were lit with fame,
And from her waveswept islands the sons OF
Georgia came!
Brave hearts and true-the sturdy and battle
battered souls,
They marched by fifty thousands In freedom
to her polls;
The battle Of the ballots! twas fought from
sun to sun,
And Georgia men were true again, and Geor-
gia yalor wont
Twas victory" in her cities! twas victory
where the breeze
Sweeps through her climbing mountains and
storms across her seas!
Twas victory" in her quiet homes, q nd in
her noisy marts,
But more than all-'twas victory In twice a
million hearts;
Still the old state stands brave and great-the
sunlight round her throws
A halo where she triumphs Ger her bafflcd,
beaten foes!
And from her hills and singing rlls, her skies
whose clouds are furlcd,
Old Georgia shouts her victory In music
round the world!

of rare conversational powers and many ac--
complishments In modern literature and
history she is well yerSed and she has
thorough knowledge of French and German
TO the study of music she has also gwen
much time Like her husband, she takes
deep interest in the modern revolutionary
movement. and the sincerity of her grief at
the nourpful fate of the Chicago anarchists
has never been questioned. While their
trial was in progress she attracted consider
able attention by wearing u good deal OF
mourning, and it is said that she wore deep
mourning for some tine after their death
This is one reason why she has been called
eccentric Those, however, who know her
best. say that she is well balanced woman
and a true philanthropisr, and point to the
fact that neither she nor her husband has
gained anything from a worldly point of
view through their connection with the
anarchists On the contrary, they maintain
that Captain Black would be q Weather

MRS. BLACKS PROTEGE.
Evidence That the Hamburg Orphans May
Find in Her a True Protector.


Find in Her a True Protector.
Chicago, ILL.,, October GA re-
markable woman in many ways IS
Mrs H. M. Black, of Park Ridge, ILL.,, and
those who know her here will not be sur
prsed when they read her letter to MT.
Aubrey Stanhope, which appeared In sun
days Herald and in which she generously
offers to provide for five children who nave
been made orphans by the cholera III Ham
burg.
Eccentric, many persons consider her, but
anarchists and socialists throughout this
country, who remember how deeply Sne
sympathized with the condemned chicago
anarchists and how Zealously her husband,
Captain Black, labored in their behalf, claim
that she is always actuated by spirit Oh
kindness and true Humanitarian mouyes.
Her actions are certainly blameless. she
and her husband are strict vegetarians, and
the shedding of animal blood is abhorrent to
them. In Mrs. Black animals have true
friend, as any one can see VINO VISITS ner
home in Park Ridge. Two prominent build
ings there are a rabbit hutch and dog ken
mel In the hutch, it is said, as many as Il
hundred rabbits have been housed at one
time, and in the kennel comfortable quarters
are always ready for any stray dog that
may be in need of food and shelter.
She had eighty dogs there on one occasion,
and as the animals naturally caused good
deal of disturbace the Park Ridge author
tiles interfered and informed her that they
could not allow her to transform Park
Ridge into city of refuge for all the vaga-
bond dogs of Chicago. The result of tbs
edct was that the dog catcbors triumphed
and the average number of CANNES in the
comfortable kennel was reduced to a score
or so. If Mrs. Black had not adhered con
SCientiOuSly to i.er vegetarian principles she
might not have incurred the dispeasure of
the municipal authorities. In vain. however,
did she try to satisfy her dogs hunger by
feeding them entirely on bread Mango,
distemper and other skin diseases soon
showed themselves, and, as the animals
suffered greatly, it was only to be expected
that the public officials would interfere.
Since that time Mrs Black has made 4
concession to her favorites- and feeds them
on fresh meat, which is supplied to her
twice q week.
