question: of allowing the Cape Elizabeth

Chasing the Patrol Cart.

1t is singular what a fascination the
police patrol wagon seems to possess for
the average citizen. Last evening as the
wagon was being driven up Exchange
street, briskly, it was followed by an
eager running mob of about one hundred
people. The PRESS man chased the
terrible crime or tragedy, but when he
reached the wagon it contained only a
poor, weary, sleeping, simple drunk on
his way to long and peaceful repose on
pine board. The patrol cart loses none

CRUSHED IN A PANIC.
Section of a Grand Stand Falls at
Buffalo with Sixty
People.

Buffalo, N. Y, July 5.-One of the sec
ton stairways leading from the buffet tc
the grand stand at the Buffalo Driving
park crashed in yesterday afternoon.
Eight thousand people were sitting in the
stand at the time.
Sixty persons were carried down by the
stairway, which took with it section Of
the grand stand from either side. When
the others in the stand heard the roar and
saw the center disappearing they rose and
struggled to make the various exits or to
throw themselves from their seats to the
ground. The narrow aisles were choked
with screaming men and women, and
many of the latter succumbed to the heat
and fright and heightened excitement
Meanwhile those who had fallen with the
stairway were trying to eXtricate them
selves and to avoid the crush of the thou
sands who looked to this great hole as the
best avenue of escape. Two persons were
fatally injured and about thirty-f five had
sprained ankles. injured backs. etc.

BLOODY BOSTON RIOT.
A. P. A. Paraders We're NJ obbed-Sev-
eral Shots Were
Eirad

Boston, Mass. July 5.-The ''little red
schoolhouse" parade in East Boston
yesterday, gotten up by the Patriotic
Sons of America, and held in the after
noon because the East Boston Carnival
association refused it a place in the
morning parade, led to the most extra
ordinary scene Boston has seen
in many years. John FL. Wills
was shot dead, Michael Boyle
was dubbed by policeman so
severely that his death at the city hospi-
tai is only matter of a few hours, and
several men were wounded slightly by
the dozen or so of shots fired, by stones
thrown and by the policemen's clubs.
After the dismissal, one of the lodges,
supposed to be Boston lodge, was on
the way to the ferry. They went by the
way of Border street. When they got
as far as the Atlantic works they got
into an alteration with crowd of men
on the sidewalk. Before anyone was
really aware of the seriousness of the
row, score of shots were fired. Even
then it was supposed that it was only
blank cartridges that had been fired, al
though one man was seen to drop to
the ground and then clasp his head in his
hands
The man on the ground proved to be
John w. Wills of Is Webster street, a
'longshoreman, who was a spectator.
He died within few minutes. Patrick
A. Kelly was also wounded and Michael
Boyle so severely dubbed that he will
die.
The police were attracted by the re-
ports of the revolvers, and but for their
coming there would have been several
men killed, as most of the paraders had
reyolvers and were prepared to use them.
Bystanders picked out Harold G.
Brown and Joseph Ross as the men who
did the shooting and they were arrested.
The police then formed guard about
the rest of this lodge and escorted it to
the ferry. On the ferryboat they hid
their badges and regalias and were lost
in the crowd .-s.f

Cooking in the Gutter.

A member of the Seventh Regiment,
according to an article in the New
York Sun, is enthusiastic over his eX-
perences with a tin dish and i camp
fire during the late street car riots in
Brooklyn. He has been noted in his
own circle for his delicate taste in the
matter Of cookery, and his skill with
the chafng-dish. He not only knew
when a thing was cooked exactly right,
but he could cook it just right himself,
only he was so excessively fastidiOus
that he must have just such dish in
which to do it.
Now he was left to shift for himself
in the street, with nothing but tin
dish as cooking utensil. Fortunate,
ly,' he says, "the dish had cover and
Il handle, and after I%became convinc-
ed that there was no help for it, made
a few experiments and found the re-
suits delicious.
",The value of a wood fire had never
been apparent to me before, but l tell
you it is wonderful. Why, 1 never ate
such potatoes as I baked in the en-
bers. And the surrounding cobble-
stones kept my coffee as hot as want
ed it while l was doing my other cook
ing.
1.-THE dolngs CT some of the men were
laughable. They had less idea of cook
cry than the average servant They
would insist upon building a fire with
the flames reaching heavenward. and
then they wondered why their food
was burned on one side and raw on the
other. One fellow who wanted ham
and eggs put the eggs in, shells and
all. A beautiful mess!
.'As for myself, will stand up here
after for the regimental tin dish and
a wood fire with cobble-stone founda-
ton. I lived like a prince; and the
next time my appetite is spoiled by the
atrocities of French cooks, | am going
to pitch my tent in the back yard. and
win back my digestion with the sort
of cookery have been enjoying for a
week.

CHAPTER X.

When they reached the hotel Mrs. Ruth
walk to Harvey s. Nichols, where she
and her attendant spent delightful hour,
and several pounds.
By the time she reached her temporary
home, Nora felt refreshed and invigorat-
ed by air and exercise. The shades of
evening had begun to gather, and she
planned to herself that she would read
aloud to Helen after dinner, to atone for
her long absence.
The gas had not been lit, and going up
stairs in semi-darkness, she ran against
someone on the first landing.
81 beg your pardon" said Winton,
whose voice she instantly recognized, sit
is SO dark"
Eyes, the evenings draw in so soon
now" she replied, with some confusion.
II am glad to have an opportunity of
wishing you goodbye. am going out of
town tomorrow for a few weeks; by the
time l come back, shall have made up
my mind whether I shall return to India
at once or stay to the full extent of my
leave"
HAS the country so little attraction for
YOU, Mr. Winton, that you are ready to
leave it?"
''Plenty of attraction; butt need not
trouble you with my reasons. Goodbye
for the present. l hope to see you again
before long, either here or at Brookdale."
He held her hand for moment and
was gone.
Nora assembled slowly, thoughtfully, to
the drawing room, where she found Mrs.
I,Estrange leaning back in an easy chair,
her handkerchief to her eyes, beside a
bright fire.
"Why, Helen" cried Nora, as she ad-
vanced toward her. Mrs. L'Estrange
started and uncovered her face; the strong
light of the flames showed that she had
been and was weeping. Dear Helen,
what is the mattery
"Do not ask me now. l will tell you
all one day, but not now" said Mrs. l. Es-
TRANCE. Rising, she came quickly toward
her stepdaughter, pressed her lips for an
instant to Nora's cheek. and left the room.
.Good heayens!" calculated Nora to
self. "she has refused him. But why?'
Overcome with surprise, she sat down. all
dressed as she was, to ponder this unex-
pected outcome of their pleasant intimacy
with Winton. He, too, seemed depressed
md unlike himself. Why-why had Helen
rejected him? especially as she evidently
felt doing so very keenly.

that she and her little girl We're unpro-
