dRRkB OPERA HOUSE.

This evening e. E. Rice's company
will present that operate extravaganza
"Evangeline." 1t seems remarkable
when one stops to consider that 1t is
easily understood. The music is bright,
the comedy pure and wholesome and
text sweet. The features of this opera
are decidedly striking and the cos
tunes are magnificent. The entertain
ment is surrounded by an atmosphere
of simplicity that is exceedingly re-
freshing, The company Ia a strong
one and deserves a large house.

will present 1.-The Old Homestead" at

sent the Same on Tuesday afternoon.

A Collector of Curiosities.

A Colorado man has been in the city
lately, whose visit was for the especial
purpose of buying the stone mortar and
pestle dug up last year in Scarboro from
an old clam shell heap near the site of
the hut of the old Indian squaw Jane
Hancock. He secured them for $50. The
pestle is two feet long and several inches
in diameter, and the mortar will hold a
gallon. The purchaser is man OF
wealth and his hobby is collecting curios-
tiles. He tried to buy stone the size OF
a hens egg belonging to a fish dealer in
Deering named Herrick. The stone
caught in the f1uke of an anchor on the
Grand Banks, and was hauled up with
the anchor Growing out of the stone is
what seems to be tuft of reddish hair
and which Professor Robinson of Bow
doin decided was animal tissue. Each
individual hair can be traced beneath the
surface with knife as if cut off close to
the surface. The owner intends to send
it to the Smithsonian Institution at
Washington and would not sell it,,

THE BICYCLE LOCOMOTIVE.
Colonel Boynton's Idea is Yet Alive and
F1ourishing.

It was some time ago that Colonel E.
Moody Boynton had his bicycle locomo-
tive built at the Portland Company's
works in this city. The invention is not
dead by any means, and in Boston the
wonders of bicycle railroading were dis
cussed in very interesting way at din
ner at the Algonquin Club on Tuesday
evening. The possibilities of this ,sys-
tenn of transportation were outlined by
the speakers, especially by e. Moody
Boynton.
The dinner was given by Colonel Al
bert A. Pope to Mr.. Boynton. A very
notable gathering was present, including
Ex-Governor Oliver Ames, John Shepard,
A. Shuman, Henry NJ. Whitney, presi-
dent of the West End railway; Freder-
lex S. Pearson, S. Endicott Peabody,
Charles E. Coffin, president Thomson
Houston Electric Company; Charles E.
Hawley, Isaac T. Burr, Lieutenant Os-
car T. Crosby, Henry D. Hyde, Aaron 81.
Latham, G. T. w. Braman, and Carleton
Coffin.
Colonel Pope opened the speech-mak-
ing by abiding to the wonders the bicy-
Gle system was, in his judgment. des-
tined to work in the transportation by
steam and electricity, when the wheel
that now carries people with human feet,
300 miles in day should be driven with
perfect safety in long, narrow railway
trains, as he believed il would 200 miles
per hour by electricity. He introduced
the Hon. E.. Moody Boynton, the guest
of the evening, stating that five years
prior he had predicted Mr.. Boynton's
success in the great work to which he
had devoted his life, of adapting the bl-
cycle principle to steam and electric
transportation of passengers and freight;
Mr.. Boynton's remarks were followed
by speeches and discussion of very in
structive cearacter by the electricians and
railway men present, some OF whom mad
tested and ridden upon Mr.. Boynton S
railway at New York. 1t was the opin-
ion of some of the speakers that Boston
ought to lead in this new enterprise,
which is already being adopted extern
sively at Chicago, on the Pacific and
elsewhere.
Mr.. Henry M. Whitney and Chief En-
gineer Pearson related their impressions
in riding by this system on Mr.. Boyn-
toms bicycle railway at New York. Mr..
Pearson agreed with Colonel Pope that
New York and Boston could be connect
ed by trains running from $50 to 200
miles per hour. The possibilities of
high speed were confirmed by the engin-
eer of the Thomson-Houston Company,
and statistics of the wonders of electric
ity that the future would unfold made
the hours pass unnoticed.

PROBABLY FATAL ACCIDENT.
Miss Winnifred Swan Horribly Burned
at Cumberland Mills.


Yesterday morning, Miss Winnie
Swan, eldest daughter of DR.. John Swan,
residing at Cumberland Mills,was severe
ly burned by her clothes catching fire from
red hot stove. It was about half-past
six in the morning and Miss Swan had
just started the fire and was standing
back to the stove when her dress caught
and she was almost Immediately envel-
oped in flames.
Her father in trying to extinguish the
fire had his hands badly burned, but did
not succeed in his efforts. Some gentle
men passing were called, and hurrying
in, threw their heavy overcoats about tho
girl and she was saved from almost inn
mediate death.
AS twas, her clothes were almost en-
tirely consumed, and her injuries were
SO severe as to make recovery doubtful.
Late yesterday afternoon news was re-
ceived that there was no hope for her.
