1t Is difficult to say just what Jack

Now that he Is here 1t Is found that

for a meeting between these two, and
Burge Is casting his eyes rcgretfully
towards Albion's shores again. Judge

rate.

succeeded to any great extent. Ii is

Real EstAte.


One OF the most beautiful
tracts of land anywhere in the
region of New York consists on
Staten Island of the Guyon
Farm, at Giffords- blythe Sea,
the Woods of Arden, u short
distance below it. and the in
tcrvening properties, altogether
comprising about six hundred
acres. This land has an eleva-
tion at Giffords of about one
hundred feet above tide water.
The slope Of half a mile down
to the water is gradual and
pleasing, and just now the trees
and shrubs l. gorgeous with
their Autumn tints. The place
is remote from the odors and
nuisances which aflict SO many
suburbs of New York. The own
ors carefully restrict the portions
which they sell, so that things
noxious and offensive may not
obtain an entrance. IL is i'm
possible to find a similar tract
of land SO near New York, so
accessible and so we'll adapted
for delightful Summer cottages.
Erastus Wiman purchased the
Guyon Farm and the Woods of
Arden when the Rapid Transit
was building. He had full
knowledge of the situation. and
bought the choicest property on
the island. Disaster resulting
from other ventures overlook
him, and now David Bennett
King, as trustee for his credi-
tors, is now compelled to sell
these superb lands at whatever
price thoy will bring. This is
unfortunate for Mr.. Wiman, but
will prove the greatest boon to
hundreds of now landless peo-
pie who would otherwise be
doomed to pay continual rent to
their landlords.

ELECTRIC CAR STRUCK
By Train on the Boston s. Maine
Railroad,
Especial to the Press.1


SAco, January l1.-One of the electric
cars was struck on the Boston & Maine
crossing at 6.45 this evening by the
o'clock freight going West, which had
just made up below the street and was
hauling out.
The freight was going very slowly and
very little damage was done except to
throw the car off, stave in the platform
and badly scare the passengers who
managed to get off before the collision.
The trolley left the wire as the electric
was passino over the railroad tracks,
and when it was put on again, the car
for some reason would not start. The
flag man ran down the track waving a
white light to the oncoming train, and
shouting, but no notice was taken of
him and the train came on until it
struck tie car. 1t seems impossible that
the engineer did not see the car, as the
vicinity is light and the car was directly
across the track.
One story is that the engineer was
looking back to see if he had all his
train. He put on his air brake just be-
fore striking the car. The crossing is
generally considered a dangerous place
and there would be many accidents there
bnt for the faithful gateman. All shift
ing to the Saco freight yard and to the
York Manufacturing Company's spur
track is done over this crossing which
crosses Main street in its busiest part.

MAY LIVE WEEKS.
But Again May Die in an Hour, Still
Say the Physicians.
MIR. BLAINE'S EXTRAORDINARY
HOLD ON LIFE.

Hope That He May Celebrate His Sixty
third Birthday-Dr. Johnston Contra
diets Plausible Story-Latest Advices
from the Sick Bed.
WASHINGTON, January 11-Mr. Blaine's
remarkable rally from what was suppos-
ed to be dying condition is the greatest
surprise in his long illness. Some of the
members Of the family now hope that he
may live to celebrate his 63d birthday,
which will be January 81, and the hope
is INDUCED by his friends that his sys-
tenn may be built up so as to warrant his
living for some time. This hope is liable
to be crushed at any moment, and one of
the early morning sinking spells to
which he has been so subject may prove
fatal. The mere fact that he is living is
considered encouraging. and leads to the
prediction on the part of Mr.. Joseph
MAnley, Representative Boutelle and
others that he may live for several weeks.
The long hours of the, night brought
no change in the condition of Mr.. Blaine.
This was contrary to expectation, for the
serious attacks of the early hours of the
two preceding days, and the alarming
symptoms of Saturday night, had caused
the minds of physicians and watchers to
apprehend turn for the worse in the
hours bordering on midnight. But these
unfavorable symptoms did not appear
DR.. Johnston made his first call of the
day shortly after II O'Clock, and re-
manned half an hour. On leaving he
stated that Mr.. Blaine was then very
comfortable, and appeared to be stronger
than he was yesterday. He said he
would not issue another bulletin, as it
was not considered to be necessary.
The attention of DR.. Johnston today
was called to despatch stating that a
peculiar malady of the stomach was the
cause of Mr.. Blaines illness. DR.. John
ston said DR.. Blaine's stomach was now
the strongest organ in his body. His
digestion has been good throuhgout his
illness. There has been no vomiting.
could not digest solids such as beef
steak.
Doctors Hyatt and Johnston made a
visit to Mr.. Blaine about 230 p. M, and
came oat together in about half an hour.
DR. Johnston stated Mr.. Blaine had a
very comfortable morning. His condi-
ton was about the same as yesterday.
Among the cal lers this afternoon was
Representative Dingley of Maine. Mrs.
Eugene Hale called about and remained
for over half an hour. When she came
out she said: s'Mr. Blaine is resting
very comfortably indeed this evening"
DR.. Johnston paid his good night visit
to Mr. Blaine shortly before 10, and re-
manned with the patient about a quarter
of an hour. On leaving he said Mr..
Blaine had passed an uneventful day and
is resting easily tonight. DR.. Johnston
will not visit the patient again tonight.
A caller on the Blaine family who left
the mansion at midnight said the ex-
secretary was then resting very quietly
and no apprehensions were entertained
of any turn for the worse during the
night. At a. m. his condition was un-
changed.

In the course Of time became the keeper

after his marriage her old lovers wife
died in giving birth to a daughter, and
the lover dying two years later the child
was placed in a home for waits in Chi

The facts came to the ears of Miss
Wallace. She went to Chicago, and,
formally adopting the child, placed her
in the hands Of friends, the girl being
afterward educated in a convent, all

SIX scientific Reasons settle IL.

Our old weather prophet. Loren Cush-
man Of Plymouth, makes the prognosti-
cation that the coming winter will be the
most severe one for this section that we
have had since Dennison was hanged in
1888.
He bases this forecast on the follow
ing grounds: %. The husks on corn are
much thicker than usual and are OF a
deep orange tint instead Of light lemon
hue. (2). The hogs melt runs jagged in
stead of smooth. go. The goose bone
taken from May-raised fowl shows
larger and whittier spots than customary
and they resemble the canals of Mars.
(D. The crop of nuts OF all kinds is inn
mense and the squirrels and chipmonks
are laying I'm prodigious stores early I'm
the season. (5). The partridges and wood
cock are lighting In barns and out
houses instead OF trees, and ducks are
flying I'm U-shaped instead OF V-shaped
flocks toward the South. (6) The green
frogs are changing their skins and are
even now seeking cool wells and springs
for their winter quarters.
These signs, Mr.. Cushman AYERS. never
fail. and he stakes his reputation upon
their accuracy. Norwich Sun.
