A REMARKABLE ESCAPE.
A Little Girl Run Over-But the Soft Black
Mud Saved Her from Injury.

Yesterday noon, just as the children were
coming home from school a man drove down
Cumberland street from the east, in a light
carriage, at a very rapid pace. just as he
got to Pearl street, he saw the crushed rock
that has been spread on the street between
there and Myrtle street and turned sharply
up Pearl street, toward Congress, to avoid
it. A little six-year-old girl WAS just jump
ing from the sidewalk to the street. She
was struck by the front wheel, knocked
down and both wheels passed over her body
and lower limbs in diagonal direction.
She was forced into the soft black mud and
the prints of her body were left very plainly
in it.
The mud probably saved her from serious
injury. She was picked up, carried CRYING
into F. W. Wardwell's grocery store and
soon astonished everybody by walking home.
She was not hurt at all apparently.
Mr.. Frank Wardwel, who picked her up
called for the man in the team to stop, but
he drove off. He returned in about an hour
and learned at the store that the little girl
was unhurt. She is the child of Mr. Thos.
W. Freeman, the oyster dealer in Monument
Square.

A COURTEOUS HlGHWAYMAN.
He Took Cape Woman's Money
Saturday Night.

But He Was Very Particular to Return the
Purse-He Was Young and Seemed Ec-
centric
A bold piece of highway robbery was COM
mitted on Portland Pier Saturday night. A
young lady, who does not wish her name
known, and who therefore has not COM
planned to the police, was the victim. This
young woman works in Portland millinery
store and lives at the Cape. She was going
home alone Saturday evening, and was
about to go down the ferry slip on Portland
Pier when she was approached by we'll
dressed, but eccentric appearing young
man, who demanded her purse. Much
frightened, she handed out her purse. The
young man took it, opened it and deliber-
ately took out the money and then returned
the purse with the air of a cavalier. Then
she was allowed to go her way.
The police said last night that they had
heard Indirectly of the case, and were salts
fed that it was true. The dislike of the
young woman for making a seasonable COM
plant will probably prevent the detection
of the bold Robin Hood.
The sum of money in the purse was not
large, and was small reward for the eccen-
trio young mans audacity.

BEGINNING A LONG JOURNEY
Mr.. f. A. Elwell Starts for Europe To-

Before His Return in October.

Tonight Mr.. f. A. Elwen and Harry Lam
son leave on the boat for New York, where
they will meet the other members of Mr..
ElwelPs Photographers Bicycle Tour
through Europe. that has been described in
the PRESS. After the tour, Mr.. Elwell will
make an independent journey for the pur-
pose of investigating new localities to
arrange for future tours. In Auguset he
will go by steamer from Holland, where the
tour ends, to Londerry on the northern
coast of Ireland. There he will be joined by
Mr. F. L. Goet of the Burmuda Islands,
an English resident there and an enthu-
siastic bicycler. He has accompanied Mr..
Elwell on his bicycle tours in those islands
and eight or nine years ago made his first
visit to theU nited States to join Mr.. Elwel's
"Bluenose" bicycle tour down the st. John
river in New Brunswick.
Together they will ride down the Irish
coast from Londonderry to Belfast, dis
tance of forty or fifty miles, and through
picturesque region inaccessible by railroad.
A splendid highway extends the entire
distance along the coast, affording unusual
facilities for a long ride by the sounding
sea,
From Belfast they will cross the Strait to
the Isle of Man, and make thorough tour
of that interesting island and a thorough
inspection of the peculiar Man people. From
there they will cross to England and
journey through the beautiful lake region,
and thence go to London where they will
separate and Mr.. Elwen will proceed to
France with Mr.. ssMarriott Morris of Phila-
delphia who has been member of several
previous tours. They will sail across the
English Channel to st. Molo on the coast of
Brittany. They will pedal southwark to the
famous city of Tours, on the Loire. thence
to lie Pre-, the ''Most picturesque place in
the world,' as described and illustrated by
Joseph Pennell, the artist in the Century,
thence through the gorges of the Farm, the
Avignon, the home of the Popes for CEN
turtles, thence southwark to Marseilles in
the Mediterranean
The southern portion of France, thus
travelled, is practically terra incognita to
American travellers. but few, except such
as the artist Pennell, ever visit these out
of-the-way places.
Mr.. Elwen goes on a tour of inspection
with the object in view of arranging for
future touring bicycle parties.
