worth of opium last month just inside
the Golden Gate, on the Marin county

it across the bay at night in a small boat,
the opium was packed in butter and egg
boxes, and brought across on express
wagons in the regular ferry steamer.

Fertility Of Siberia.

Siberia has popular reputation much
like that part Of America west of the
Missouri had fifty years ago, and that of
the extreme cold in addition. The rea-
son is much the same--its immense size.
But the central and southern valleys are
level plains, and said to be as fertile as
the western portion of the United States,
and it is not unlike the west in the vari-
ETY. of its resources-ln minerals, timbers
and in agricultural facilities. It is a
marvellous treasure trove of stored UP
opportunities. Its wealth is practically
unlimited. With the advantages Of
railroad communication and telegraph
lines vast country is added to the
world Of civilization. The cultivation
of the land and the introduction Of all
the elaborate machinery of enlightened
life will, as scientists depict, modify tho
rigors of the climate, although in south
ern Siberia even this obstacle does not
exist,
The great transsiberian railway from
Vladiovostock to the Ural mountains

have railroads soon, and those on the
north will connect with the Russian
system,

HE HAS A BROKEN NOSE.
A Swell Young Man Who Fought for
Love and Was Beaten.

NEW YORK, October 10.-Two of the
gilded youths who move in the swell
society circles on "the Hill'' in Brooklyn
fought a brutal battle Friday evening,
with all the accessories of the prize ring.
The affair came off in a small barn at
tached to private residence at Waiver
ley and Park streets, and fully 100 swell
sports attended. Both youths are the
sons of wealthy men in the shipping
business in this city. and both are in the
employ of New York steamship COM
panies. The fight was the outcome of
quarrel over Prospect Heights belle.
Two-ounce gloves were selected. The
principals looked cool and collected
when they entered the ring. They had
been training for six weeks. They were
provided with seconds and well known
club men acted as referee and time
keeper. Four rounds were savagely
fought before one Of the contestants
knocked his adversary down with right
handler in the jaw. This gave the fight
and, it is said, the young woman in the
case. to the victor. The young woman
probably would not take the vanquished
hero now under any circumstances as a
broken nose does not add to his personal
appearance.

Especial Correspondence of the Press.l
MILTON PLANTATION, Oxford County,
Me-, October 1O.-Last Wednesday night
the store of Edwin Andrews at Milton
Plantation was entered by burglars.
They went around to the side of the store
next to the horse shed and with a glass
cutter cut a hole sufficiently large
to enable them to get their hands in and
unfasten the window. A pair of scales
and number of cans of coffee were in
the window. They placed them out on
the ground and entered the store, They
pried open the money drawer and took
about fifty dollars; they also took about
the same amount OF clothing and other
goods; then broke into the post office,
which is situated in one corner of the
store, and took fifty-four dollars worth
of postage stamps. A shirt which the
thieves took was found down by the
school house. 1t is supposed that in
their fight they lost it, or threw it away
as blind. Mr.. Alva Andrews of South
Woodstock, as he was on his way to An
dover, saw two men scud in the bushes
along the side of the road and, supposing
they were intending to stop him, whipped
up his horse and went by them. This
was very bold robbery, as family lives
over the store, and it was SO neatly plan
ned that they did not hear them. Mr..
Andrews is on the lookout and it is hoped
that the thieves will soon be captured.

SAMUEL LONGFELLOW.
The Character and Voice" of the Man
DeIineated by Rev. G. G. Ames.

The subject of the discourse Of Rev.
Charles G. Ames at the Church of the
Disciples, lin Boston, Sunday morning,
was the late Samuel Longfellow. Said
the preacher:
"God. duty and Immortality were
Longfellow's themes, and they glowed
like living Goals ON his lips and in his
heart. "A large task was laid on the 10th
century to. disentangle religion from
things which were not religion, though
perhaps connected with it, and we owe a
debt to every man who has aided clear
thinking. Pure motives and disregard
of what is called public opinion must be
his.
when young Longfellow first entered
the ministry, wise men were afraid of
asking questions for fear of the answers,
and said that too many questions were
dangerous. but the young men OF the
time declared it was also dangerous not
to question. Longfellow was not thun-
derer. He had no joy in tearing down,
but he saw that there must be place in
the wall for some stones which had gen.
orally been rejected. He was a champi-
on of truth in the spirit of truth, never
hostile or antagonistic, but he acted on
the principle that the best way to get rid
of darkness was by bringing in the light.
He was a great believer in the human
heart and in the revelations that come to
those who faithfully seek them. Few
men ever reached humanity so deeply or
served it SO well, made immortality so
possible or walked so completely in the
pure spirit. Samuel Longfellow be-
1onged to the Universal Church. He
lived as he preached, and the expression
of purity in his life was greater than
any he could put in his words"

Through the Canadian Rockies.

Such was the subject of Rev. j. j..
Lewis's lecture delivered at Congress
Square church last evening before an au-
dience of about 200 ladies and gentle
men. Mr.. Lewis is not a great success
as lecturer but his pictures are adj
mirable. Starring from Boston the
traveller strikes the Canadian Pacific,
visits Montreal and Ottawa, shoots the
Lachine rapids, takes in the 500 Canal
that has more business than the Suez
Canal, sees how the great prairie farms
are concluded, looks at Winnipeg and
finally strikes the Canadian Rockies.
The views in the Rockies were grand,
especially those Of Mirror and Emerald
lakes, the trestle-work over the Selkirks,
that dwarfed the Frankenstein trestle,
the views at Barff, and at the great
glacier. When the party reaches Van
couver the splendid steamer Empress of
India, modelled On the lines Of the May
flower, is awaiting them at the
wharves, decked with bunting. These
views should have been seen by a much
larger audience for they give one good
idea of the grandeur of our own con-
tinent.
Mr.. Lewis predicted that fifty years
from now Portland will have a popula-
ton of 100000, through the Canadian
Pacific making this the second outlet in
New England to it's great system, and in
1902 million. May his prophesy come

THAT Accident on the Boston s Maine.

That Accident on the Boston & Maine.
Speaking of the accident ON the Bos-
ton & Maine, near Salem, Mass, Sunday,
an account of which was given in yester-
day. PRESS, the Boston papers say:
Investigation tends to show that the
blame devolves upon the conductor of
train $50, the freight. He had been
shifting cars, and instead of side tracking
the train to allow the express to 60 past
had left the engine on a side track and
the train standing on the main line. 1t
was stated that when shown the danger
by an employe he retorted, II am the
conductor of this train,'' or words to
that purpose. His name is G. H. Knox;
the engineers, Charles Young.
Station Master Lefavor, Assistant Har
nv Whitehand and 7. j. Garland, had
their hands severely burned by removing
vitriol from one of the wrecked cars. The
last named had narrow escape, being
engaged in inspecting the wheels of the
freight train at the time of the accident.
He had barely time to jump when the
crash came. He said the forward car of
the freight rose high in the air, and had
he not jumped it would have inevitably
struck him in it's downward course.
Several thousand people were soon at
the scene of the accident, the report, as
usual, having gone forth in an exaggerat-
ed form Hancock street was lined with
observers during the forenoon, and the
police had at times difficulty in keeping
them back
Fortunate, indeed, it was that the train
was compelled to slow up on rounding
the curve, else a scene of death would
have of a necessity ensued. None of the
passengers will be likely, however, to
forget it, as on their rushing from the
train fear could be seen on almost every
face.

Boston g. Maine and Reading.

The relations between the Reading and
Boston & Maine is best illustrated by a
little INSIDE news furnished by a prom
inent railroad man of Philadelphia.
sWhen the Poughkeepsie Bridge and
Central New England and Western sys-
TENS were reorganized some time ago."
he said, '.the Reading Company with
held bonds of the new company to the
amount of 81, 100000. The money was
to be devoted to the construction of an
extension Of the Philadelphia, Reading
and New England road, as it is now
known, from Tariffville, Conn.,, to
Springfield, Mass. An agreement be-
tween the Reading and Boston & Maine
was reached about the time of the reor-
ganization, whereby the Reading was to
build the extension referred to, while
the Boston & Maine was to construct a
line of about equal distance from Bond
vile, Mass, to Springfield to connect
the two systems. Surveys for these ex-
tensions are now being made, and when
the road is completed it will open to the
Reading all the vast territory traversed
by Boston & Maine lines.''
