Mrs. Iaybrick Dying.

Gail Hamilton states that she received ca
blegram from Woking, England, Monday. stat
ing that Mrs. Maybrick was taken with hem
orrhage and that there was little chance of her
survival. Later she received a second cable
gram from Mrs. Maybrick's mother, Baroness
Won Rogue, who is in London, saying Mrs
Maybrick was dangerously i'll.
This is what the mother has been dreading
with an agony of anxiety. The only son died of
consumption when little older than Mrs. May

vere The mother has vainly implored the
Home Office for permission to send physician
down to her from London, promising to take
anyone whom the Home Office should select.
Being assured that they would permit so much
she made all the arrangements, even to paying
the physicians fees. But at the last moment
the Home Office refused the boom Gail Hamil-
ton interprets the kilograms that the mothers
love, and perhaps the mothers knowledge of
her child's constitution, give her more hope of
recovery than the prison authorities offer, and
that if by any means the sad sufferer could
come out into freedom and sunshine and her

The few people who were passing along Con-
gress street in the vicinity of No. 5471a at 7.30
o'clock yesterday morning were startled by
the blood curdling scream of a man plunging
headong from high brick block to certain and
dreadful death on the hard sidewalk below.
The man was William E. McCalmon, a work.
man employed by W. II. Wescott, the tin roofer,
and the block was that containing the Baker
boarding house in the upper stories and Boyn-
toms jewelry store on the first floor. In
front of the store, is a sidewalk clock and on
the clock was a sign in the shape of pair OF
eyeglasses, made of cast iron.
Early yesterday morning Mr.. McCalmon with
Charles Owens to assist him, went onto the
roof of this block to clear off the snow, and
thus prevent snowslides later in the day. The
roof is one of the kind that have steep pitch
towards the street, and this cons truction, which
makes them productive of snowslides, makes
them also very precarious footing for the one
who shovels them off. The usual method is for
two men to do the job, one tying rope around
his waist while the other holds the other end.
Secured by the rope the man walks on the roof
with confidence. and approaches the caves
without care OF thought of falling According
to the story told by Mr.. Owens the two went
onto the roof together. McCalmon tied the
rope around his waist and Owens held the
other end. McCalmon then proceeded to push
the snow off the roof. using large scoop. All
at once McCalmon slipped and Owens tightened
his grip on the rope. He would have been able
to save the falling man, but the knot which Nc
Calmon himself had made slipped and failed to
hold his weight. Owens was Mortified when he
felt McCalmons weight leave the rope, but of
course he was poWerleSS. McCalmon instantly
realized the awful prospect before him, and as
he slipped headlong over the edge of the roof
uttered cry of terror or despair.
He fell headlong, 40 or SO feet, and struck
first on the sidewalk clock. 1t is thought that
his head must have struck the iron spectacles,
for they were broken and one of the halves was
sent flying through the window of Boynton's
store, narrowly missing man in there.
Michael Bradley was passing on the sidewalk
beneath as McCalmon's body FELL and after it
had hit and broken the sign, it fell against
Bradley, the shoulder hitting his leg, and hurt
ing him so that a physician was called.
Poor McCalmon lay for short time on the
sidewalk, his skull fractured, and insensible of
course. Mr.. Waite, from the jewelry store, and
Officer Miles took him up and carried him into
the store. Mr.. Miles summoned at first the po-
lice ambulance, but later sent for Rich's. DR..
Files was called for McCalmon, and DR.. Alfred
King for Mr. Bradley, who was found consider
ably though not seriously hurt
Mr.. McCalmon was taken to his home, where
he breathed his last at 11.30 O'Clock yesterday
forenoon. He lived at Sc Hanover street. He
was 35 years old, and had formerly worked for
William III. Scott. He leaves wife and one
child the latter about four years old

Worlds Fair Notes.

At recent meeting Of the executive commit
tee, it was decided to adopt the Remington
Standard Typewriter as the official writing ma
chine of the exposition, to be used exclusively
in all departments thereof In August last
contract for furnishing all the typewriters me-
cessary for the use of the general public, exhib-
itors, press representatives, etc.. was awarded
to the Remington people, but the more recent
decision includes all writing machines to be
used at the Worlds Columbian Exposition for
all purposes where such machines are required
in all the departments operated land controlled
by the authorities of the Exposition. Several
hundred machines will be required for this SER
vice, about 100 of which have already been

AN IMPORTANT BUSINESS CHANGE.
Mr.. j. S. Marrett to Manage the Carpet
Department at the Atkinson House
Furnishing Company.

For some time past, negotiations have been in
progress between the Atkinson House Fur
nishing Company and Mr.. James S. Marrett for
the purchase of Mr.. Marrett's stock and MAX
ing arrangements for him to assume the posi-
tion of manager of the carpet department of
the company
That the negotiations have proved successful
adds another laurel to the excellent manage
ment of the Atkinson Company, because there
is probably no man in New England, not even
in Boston, better Judge of carpets, or one pos
sessing finer taste in such matters. For years
he was senior partner and virtual head of the
well known firm of Marrett. Bailey & Co.,
which was an outgrowth of the pioneer carpet
firm of Marrett. Poor g. Jose, the best known
and most extensive carpet houses outside of
Boston.
Mr.. Marrett will assume his new charge on
Monday next. He will select and purchase the
different lines of goods handled in the carpet
department for all the stores operated by the
Atkinson Company, as all the goods are fur
nished from headquarters.

An Interesting Letter.

There has always been more or less interest
felt by the people of this town in that Captain
Mowatt, who dropped into the harbor one fine
October day in 1775 and burned the town be-
cause the people were against the
political methods of George III. Mr..
Philip F. Turner of the German
American Fire Insurance Company, has
inhis Office window at No. 13 Exchange street,
an original letter written by this Captain Now
att on October II. 1880, just five years lacking
day from the burning of this place. The Rev.
outionary War was still on, and Mowatt, with
his ship, the Albany, was at Castine, or "Maja
Bigwaduce." as he calls it in dating the letter.
1t is merely note addressed to Samuel Will
liams, Harvard professor, who seems to have
found Bagaduce healthy place for him at that
time, and relating to the latter's son. The let
ter is written in fairly good hand and is
signed with the name spelled "Mowat,' with
one IT. Willis and other historians invaria-
bly, spell it with two CTS" Mr.. Turner bought
the letter in Boston.

A Good Thing for the stenographers.

The stenographers of this city are interested
in reorganizing their association this coming
winter and it is hoped that their membership
will be larger than ever before. There are
something like 15o stenographers in this city
who never belonged to a society of this nature,
and the most of whom desire this as a means of
becoming acquainted with each other, of ascer
tanning what is being done in the profession and
also for the assistance that such a society al
ways is to its members. Sufficient and inter
esting work will be prepared for each meeting
to repay every stenographer Or student of short
hand for making an effort to be present and it
is expected that this will prove grand success,
both in usefulness and numbers. Any sugges
tions as to the time and place for these meet
ings or regarding the entertainment or work OF
the same will be very gladly received il ad-
dressed to Miss Elinor S. Moody, So Exchange

Excellent hunting Near sebago Lake.

A few days ago the PRESS mentioned the
numbers of deer that had been seen around
Sebago Lake. especially in the town of Stand
ish There is large area of sparsely settled
country extending eastward of the Saco river,
between Sebago Lake station, East Sebago and
Steep Falls, and lying in the three towns of
Standsh, Baldwin and Sebago. There may be
in all so square miles of country where there is
a considerable growth of timber. The deer
have apparently been increasing very rapidly
in this region of late. Already twenty deer
have been killed this year. with the prospect
that many more will fall before the rifles of
hunters before the season is over. The best
time to hunt the deer is after light snow
Storm and yesterday was well improved. A
Standish gentleman who was in the city yester-
day said that many hunters were out, and that
