to the Receiving Hospital. The surgeons
told him that the arm would have to be
amputated to save his life, but neither he
nor his wife would consent to have the
operation performed. He grew worse, and
blood poisoning set in, as expected.
Yesterday morning Porter's condition
was so serious that as last resort he and
his wife gave their consent and his arm
was cut off, The doctors had but little
hope of saving the mans life. as the poison
had such hold upon his whole system.
He continued to sink, and at o'clock last
evening he died.
Porter's case was particularly sad, as he
had only arrived few months ago from
Scotland, and was married as soon as he
reached this City to the girl to whom he
had been engaged for long time. Porter
worked in the Union Iron Works, and was
well liked by all.

win it will this evening be followed by
"The Passing Show" a combination of
almost everything from burlesque to oper-
attic renditions, that will be presen ted by
artists that have acquired an enviable repu-
tation in the East. One of the strong
features is ballet in the third act.
The long-promised comic opera Prince
Ananias," by Victor Herbert, will be pre-
scented by the Bostonians at the Colum bia
tonight. This comic opera is said to be
bright, full of crisp dialogue and pretty
airs that will meet the popular taste. The
principal roles, La Grabbe and the Vaga-
bond, will be taken by Eugene Cowles and
W. H. Macdonald.
At the Morosco Grand Opera-house there
will be offered this evening an attraction
that is replete with thrilling situations and
has in it a number of realistic tableaux
1t IS 1.-The Dark Secret " by G. S. Jefferson,
a play founded on life in England. There
will be a regatta in an immense tank.
Macarthur of the Olympic will take part
in the boatrace.
The excellent programmes presented by
the management of the Orpheum make it
one of the most popular resorts in the City
and crowd the house to its full capacity.
The programme this evening embraces
among other novelties the Ella Zuila
troupe from the Winter Garden of Berlin,
the performance of which has been one of
the sensations of Europe.
There will be two attractions at the
Tivoli Opera-house this evening-Offen-
bach's operetta Marriage by Lantern
Light" and Mascagni's "Cavaileria Rus
ticana." Ida Valerga will, for the first
time appear in the role of Santuzza, and
during the week she will alternate with
Laura Willard. Mabella Baker will appear
as Mamma Lucia.
There will be another week of fun at
Growers Alcazar. This evening and during
the week will be offered "Pink Dominoes, 7"
a production that will receive the full
strength of the company and will enter
tain and amuse the audience each even
ing. This play was one in which Crane
and Robson appeared at the California
and kept the audience in roar.
The manager of the Peoples Theater
viii give Through by Daylight" this
evening, a comedy-drama that has been
presented here before, but one that is
always full of interest, and is sure to
draw crowded house. Quite number
of new people have been added to the
company of this house. and many OF them
are favorites with the theater-goers.
The people of Oakland who have not
had an opportunity to witness "Trilby'
as it was presented in this City will have
an opportunity this evening OF seeing the
hypnotic play at Macdonough's Theater.
1t will be produced by the same company
that gave it here, and will no doubt draw
as large houses as it did at the Baldwin.

GIFT TO YACHTSMEN.
Trophy to Be Given Annually by the
Marlborough Heirs.

The heirs of the late Commodore Mac
donough have decided to offer yearly
trophy, valued at $780, in memory of their
father, who was throughout his life an
ardent yachtsman.
1t will be competed for at the annual
interciub regatta by yachts of not over
thirty-fve feet racing length. The offer
ing of the prize, which will probably be in
the form of cup, will certainly act as
stimulus to yachting men on the bay. 1t
will be offered one year to the size yachts
indicated, and If sufficient interest is taken
in the matter the object of the presenta-
ton will be attained, and it will be offered
to class of yachts that is in need of en-
couragement to cause its ranks to be filled
up.

week in August, and today they start to
celebrate the fiftieth year of their exis-
tence. In 1S45 six men Lewis B. Smith,

Three of the founders are dead. For
many years the club went to Portland
Head Light, and the exercises were held
in a large tent. In 1873, the club built it's
present commodious home at Long

many associations that can show such a
record. The club now numbers twenty
five members The present principal
officers are:
Commissary-LeanderW W. Fobes.
Vice Commissary-Haryey Murray.
Seoretary-Converse Q. Leach.

Dense Fog Caused Several Accidents
in the HarbOr.
THE CADET STRUCK IN MAKING
EVERGREEN LANDING.
And Steamer Cut Down Two Seine Roats
Towing From Fisherman - Several
Parties Lost in the Fog.

When the Cadet left Long Island about
eight o'clock last evening for the city the
dense fog settled down so that it was i'm
possible to see anything. At first Capt
Fisher thought it would be better to keep
the channel and not try to make the
landings, but then it was found that
Some persons might be disappointed and
so.the.boat made for Evergreen Landing.
About four hundred feet from Evergreen
a point, or reef makes out, and the Cadet
touched on it. Then the boat backed off
and almost Immediately touched again.
Then some of the. passengers-for there
was a large number on board-became
excited and rushed for life preservers and
put them on, but the officers were cool
and collected and assured them that all
was right. In few moments the boat
was again got off and made her landing
Those who had: been frightened got
off there and wouldn't come up in the
boat, but the rest did and she came along
all right to her dock.
The passengers say that the fog was so
dense that they could scarcely see the bow
of the steamer. The officers of the boat
did good work in quelling the panic.
A COLLISION.
The heavy fog which settled down over
the harbor last evening, made the naviga-
ton by the island steamers very difficult.
They groped about at half speed, coming
frequently to a s-andstill. A slight collis-
ion occurred about o'clock, causing con-
siderable noise and excitement There
was lying. near Bug Light large Glou-
cester fisherman with two seine boats
with seines in them, lying astern. This
schooner is believed to be the Mariner.
An island steamer came along in the
fog and crashed into the seine boats.
The smash was heard on the Cape shore,
and it was followed by loud and exciting
shoutings. A second steamer2was coming
near the first and she was kept off by
loud cries of keep to port. ~
An inquiry was made at the Offices of
the Casco Bay line last evening, but the
officials there declared that they knew of
none of theirsboats being in collision.
There was from the direction of the
schooner sound of hammering for some
time, Indicating that the fishermen
were engaged in making repairs.
LOST IN THE FOG.
A party of longshoremen, who were out
for pleasure excursion in seine boat,
reached the city after touching at nearly
all of the islands and the Cape They
report that another boat, containing be-
tween fifteen and twenty persons, is out
in the harbor. Up to late hour they

Or. CLARK IN PORTLAND.
The Founder of the Christian Endeavor at
His Old Church.

DR.. Francis E. Clark, formerly pastor
of Williston church, Father Endeavorer
Clark, as he is now called everywhere
spent yesterday and filed the pulpit of
his old church. At the morning service
the church was completely filled, and the
service throughout was fine one DIR.
Clark preached an eloquent and thought
full sermon in his usual forceful style, his
subject being
He was inclined to take hopeful Kview
and believed that Christianity was never
such powerful factor in the world as to-
day. First looking to the far East he
dwelt upon the effect of the war between
China and Japan in opening up China to
civilization and Christianity, and referred
to Minister Denby's extremely 1attering
account of Christian missions in China.
DR.. Clark was inclined to think that
Japan had won her marvellous victories
largely because of the superior patriotism
of the japanese people, and drew some
lessons therefrom as to the need of a more
persuasive patriotism in America. Re-
ferring to India the preacher spoke of the
evident weakening of the bond of caste
and of the ferment in the social world,
caused by the proclamation of the gospel.
Dwelling briefly upon the trouble in
Turkey, Mr. Clark was inclined to think
that out of them all good was coming to
the oppressed Christian races. In Con-
tinental Europe he had found much of
spirituality in spite of the Journalism of
the state churches, and coming back to
America he spoke cheeringly of the up
rising of our citizens in behalf of good
government and civic reform, and
especially of the enthusiasm of our youth
for higher and nobler things. All these
reforms and this hopeful outlook in all
lands he traced back to the renovating
power of the religion of Jesus Christ.
DR.. Clark held the closest attention of
the large congregation for over an hour,
and at the close of the service he was
most warmly greeted by many old friends
and parishioners
AT Y. NJ G. A. HALL.
DR.. Clark was the speaker at the Young
Mems Christian Association hall in the
afternoon. The meeting was for men
only, and the hall was full. DIR. Clark
was particularly happy in his remarks,
taking as his theme, Rev. Ill, 49, "Gold
Tried in the Fire. 1t was strong ap-
peal to men to stand firm in the faith of
Christ. At the close of the service three
young men stood up for prayers and an
nounced their adoption of the Christian
life.
IN THE EVENING.
At Williston, DR.. Clark gave graphic
and intensely interesting portrayal of the
recent Christian Endeavor convention at
Boston, the talk being particularly
pleasing one, delivered as it was in the
church where the Endeayor movement
was born.
Dr. Clark is tie guest of Mr.. Harry
Pennell on Thomas street. He is spend
