LOST A LEG.
S. III. Libby of Scarboro Accidentally Shot
BY Companion.


Yesterday afternoon. MI. S. H. Libby
of Scarboro, man apparently about 80
years old, was shot by companion and
so seriously wounded that it was neces-
sary to amputate his leg. The shooting
was entirely accidental. Mr.. Libby had
been throwing bottles into the air while
friend shot at them. In some way one
shot was fired much too low, striking
Mr.. Libby in the thigh and inficting a
dangerous wound. News of the shooting
was sent to this city and Rich's ambu-
lance went to Scarboro and brought the
injured man to the Maine General hos
pital. The ambulance started early in
the evening but, owing to tho distance
and the necessity for driving slow, it was
at late hour in the night that it reached
the city. 1t was not till then that the
story of the shooting was told and the
details were meagre, the name of Libby's
companion, who fired with such unfortu-
nate result, not being obtainable. The
physicians, after a consultation, decided
that it would be necessary to amputate
Mr.. Libby's leg and the operation was
performed by Drs. Ring and Cummings.
MI. Libby is doing well and unless I'M
expected complications arise will prob
ably recover.

Tennyson and His Works,

~, Ever since the death of Lord Tenny-
Fson there has been general desire in
Portland to listen to some estimate of
ibis life and writings from a competent
lsource. The Rev. John A. Bellows has
+ been persuaded, at the urgent request of
1.-THE Unitarian Womens Alliance, to pre-
lpare an informal paper upon the poet
and his works which he will give at the
First Parish House on Friday of next
week at o'clock in the afternoon. The
review will be illustrated by vocal music
by Mrs. Fellows and Miss Stinchfeld,
and Messrs. Barnard and Pierce. The
numbers will be announced later, but
will include in any event 1.-THE Crossing
of the Bari with the original music 1t
has never been sung in Portland. The
seating capacity of the Parish House is
not large and this early suggestion is
made to our people Of literary taste that
they may procure tickets in season.

horses. got the horse out and then
found that Mr.. Gerow had gone for the
DOCTOR then went to the house." Ihls
statement was confirmed by John ii.
Carter, who was with his brother George
at the time. He said that ME-. FfaWda
said to George "The old lady is shot. "
A. u. Gerow said that when PraWda
went to his house he was laborlng under
great excitement. He said, The old lady
has been shot, or lamp has exploded"
He went for the doctor. Prawda was SO
excited that l couldn't understand half
he sald,' was the way MIR. Gerow put 1T.
CIV. Gerow went for Dr.. Burbank and
Constable Blake. He was told that Mrs.
Meyer had been shot. That was the
reason he called on Constable Blake.
Had he believed it to be an explosion
of lamp he would not have notified
him. 1t would seem that Mr.. Carter, and
both Mr.. A. G. Gerow and Mr.. CIV. Gerow,
knew in advance of the coming of Dr.
Hanson that Mrs. Meyer had been shot,
and they say the information was given
by Mr.. Prawda. They acted very prompt
ly on their information, which they
evidently believed.
The scene at the house was almost pa
Uhetic yesterday. The victim herself lay
hardly conscious of what was pa, sing,
and with little evidence of life. DR.. Han
son called in the morning, hardly expect
ing to find her alive. and was astonished
at her vitality. At o'clock he made a
second cali, and found that she was fail
ing. He had at that time no idea that
she could live many hours. There is no
apparent hope of her recovery. The
rooms in which she had lived were close
and small, and very poorly furnished de-
spite the fact that she has been and still
is woman of some means. Her son,
tried to get his mother to live in more
comfort, bat she preferred to keep very
much alone" Her daughter, Mrs.
Thomas Carey, who, with her husband,
was several miles distant, at the house
of Mr.. A. H. Parsons at the time of the
shooting, and who was almost complete
ly Frustrated by the shock, said, at
would be a new thing if poor mother
should have an enemy" She kept to
herself, and seems according to what is
said in the neighborhood to have been
very kindly treated. Mr.. John Carter,
an old man who has seen much of the
family, said that Mr.. Prawda always
treated the aged woman with special
kindness. Pending the death of Mrs.
Meyer, the investigation begun by Mr..
Bucknam will be carried forward with
view of having all the evidence obtain
able on hand at that time. 1t is said
that man has been found who heard
the report, and who, it is expected will,
fix the exact time when the shooting oc-
CURED, matter still in dispute. 1t is
very much to be regretted that the por-
tion of the window through which the
ball passed was broken yesterday by Mr..
Bucknam, but.the.. lower portion of the
cut remains, and the exact point had
been fixed by accurate measurements
before the breakage

A Thanksgiving dinner donation party
was rendered Rev. S. E. Robinson at

ing, by the Ladies' Aid Society, trustees,
members and friends of the A. NJ. E.

useful articles, which were presented by
Mr.. James Lawrence. Appropriate re-
marks were made by the pastor.
There was a good, clear harbor yester-

Hundreds visited the English steamers

Der. Work on and about the big steam

A HOME-SiCK BOY.
He Had Come to Portland to Make His
Fortune; But Instead Found Cold
Bed on Wharf.

A small boy, aged about Is years, as
could be, and crying bitterly, came into
the police station yesterday. Between
his sobs Deputy Marshal Sterling man.
aged to elicit from him that his name
was Clinton MacInnis, and that his
father was Duncan MacInnis, coal
dealer, of 43 Clifton Place, Brooklyn, N.
Y. Last Monday the youthful Clinton
decided to go out into the wide world
and make his fortune himself as so many
story-book boys have already done.
There being financial depression in the
West, he decided to open the oyster in
the East. So he got aboard train for
Boston, and in due season arrived at the
Hub of the Universe, without having
been obliged to pay anything for his
fare. But he found that great fortunes
were not to be made readily in Boston;
and SO started further East on the Port
land boat, arriving here Wednesday
morning. All day Wednesday passed
without his getting very rich; and We'd
nesday night he fonnd himself obliged
to go to bed on one of the wharves. Al
though the weather was very clement on
that night, young Clinton did not open
his eyes on a very rosy world yesterday
morning. Thoughts of the soft beds in
his fathers house, and the Thanksgiv-
ing turkey on the MacInnis board did
not make his condition any more tolera-
BILE. So he decided, like the Prodigal
Son of old, to arise and go to his fathers
house with no delay.
Mr.. Sterling sent telegram to Brook
Ign. There was not long to wait. The
answer was from the boys mother:
"Send my boy home at once; will pay all
expense"
Mr.. Sterling had taken the boy home,
washed him and fed him. Under pros
perity he turned out a good-lookipg boy,
and is doubtless much wiser as well.

A GOOD WORK.
The Annual Distribution to the Poor of
the City Through the Gospel Mission.

A few days ago an appeal appeared in
the PRESS signed by the Rev. S. F. Pear
son, asking for assistance to aid him in
providing Thanksgiving dinners for wild
ows, orphans and worthy needy ones of
the city. On Wednesday PRESS re-
porter made call at the Mission, and
found Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson with
goodly corps of helpers busily engaged in
preparing the dinners for distribution.
Turkeys, chickens, lamb and spareribs
were there in abundance to supply each
family within the knowledge of Mr..
Pearson, who were to be made happy on
Thanksgiving day. Besides the poultry
or meat, potatoes, onions, cranberries
and turnips were furnished every family.
Bread, pies, doughnuts and crackers
were supplied where sickness prevented
the cooking of them. Att a. m. two
teams were started and kept upon the
go until 8 p. m. Besides those who were
known to Mr.. Pearson, Mrs. G.. B. Nc
Gregor, and representative of the W.
C. T. u, gave information where needy
ones could be found, and they were sup
piled.
1t took more than 5000 pounds of food
of different kinds to answer all the de-
mands, and one of the most gratifying
features of the work was that enough
was provided for every call, SO that at 10
o'clock Wednesday night Mr.. Pearson
said he could say for once, something
that he could never say before in the 20
years of his experience as missionary
in this city, that he did not know fami-
ly in the city that was not amply sup
piled for at least one day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pearson desire to return
the thanks of all the recipients of the
food, fuel, and money for rent, to every
one who so kindly and thoughtfully aid
ed them in enjoying the relief and bless
ing that were brought to their lives and
homes.
Those who had the pleasure of carry
ing the food to the different families
feel sure that if those who donated could
have, in many instances, seen the tears of
of joy and heard the expressions of
thankfulness, they would have been as
sured that cit is more blessed to give
than to receive.''
