fecting nearly every part of her anatomy.
She was too Ill yesterday to be seen by any
one but her husband, who is acting as her
nurse, and her physician. Aside from her
physical injuries, the shock to her system
makes her case more serious.
After the accident the three injured
people remained in W. w. CampbelI's
drugstore for an hour and half, when a
representative of the road arrived and
offered to compromise the case by paying
there ana then for receipt in full of all
claims.
Mrs. Chisholm was. too i'll to enter into
any business arrangement, and yesterday
her husband denied the railroad people
admission to his house.
In the case OF Ahern and Mccarthy they
were marched up to Polk and Sutter
streets, where are the company's offices,
and they were paid $50 and $125. respec-
lively. Ahern's bruises were mainly on
his arms and wrists, while Mccarthy suf-
fered severe decorations about the face and
head.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 5.-Another
millionaire visitor from the Flowery
Kingdom, Yen Men, an imperial COM

dav. His visit here does not bring him
into contact with the State Department,
but he comes to make semi-offical in
ouiry into the commerce and modern
business methods of the United States,
to be used for the benefit of Chinese in
dustries.
One OF the most important features of
his mission is to get up report for the
Emperor of China upon the condition of
the better class of his countrymen in the
United States. Most of them are engaged
in business, many conducting branch
houses of firms located in China. The
commissioner will consult with these
Americana Chinese merchants, with view
to promoting commerce between the two
countries.
He will remain in the country several
months, during which he will visit the
principal cities. His longest stay will be
at San Francisco as the field for his
special work is greatest there. He will
visit England after leaving this country
and return to his native land by way OF
India.

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 5.-Every
report in regard to the storm increases the
death list and the estimation of the prop

the storm district is appalling and there
is urgent need of aid to prevent starva-
ton.
While the suffering in Baker County is
great from the effects of the storm, the
damage is also very great. 1t is estimated

particulars it was not radical enough; that it

which isundemocratic and wrecked the party

mated, and also have recommended the aboli-
tion of the Electoral College. giving direct
vote for President and avoiding com pications

Columbia Theater.

"Trilby," on its return from Australia,
opened for season at the Columbia Theater
last night. There was large house present,
and each familiar character was greeted with
applause on first appearing; but "Trilby," as
it progressed, did not arouse the enthusiasm
that 1t was wont to arouse in the days when
Du Maurier's heroine was the fad of the
hour.
The company was partly the same as that
which first initiated San Francisco TO Trilby-
ism, and was partly new and refined version
of Palmers company. Charles Kent, who
played Svengali, had initiated Beerbohm
Tree more than Wilton Lackaye in his
makeup and owing to the fact that
he has not Lackaye's dominating
personality, the change was for the better.
His face did not look as il it had been rubbed
in a flour barrel, as Lackaye's did, and he had
not Lackaye's red, bee-y hands There was q
more Hebraic cast to his countenance and his
makeup stood the test of the opera-glass bet
ter.
As for his portrayal of the hypnotist it was
lighter and less intense than -Lackaye's and
he affected his accent; indeed, at times he
forgot his accent altogether and spoke the
unadulterated English of the United States.
The Zou Zou of George FL. Trader was not up
to the standard set by Martinell. Miss Crane
was as handsome as ever as Trilby, and Jennie
Reiffarth was the same genial Nine. Hinard.

There has been much more interest
taken in tennis, the past season, than
usual, due, perhaps, TO the universal

of it. There are several closely

had to be set up about 1900 poles, about
As to the mile being necessary. The wires
are copper. and are the regular long
distance size. There are two circuits,
one of which will be a special to Bar
Harbor.
The work is carried on with no little
difficulties as in many places it has been
necessary to blast holes out of the rock
into which the poles are to be set
There are in all over $50 men at work be-
tween Portland and Bangor Between
Augusta and the latter, the poles already
standing are sufficient to hold the
weight of the new wires. while between
Lewiston and Augusta, new poles had to
be set.
The wires which run from the central
exchange in Augusta, eastward to Ban
gor street. where the main line goes on
to Bangor will be incased in one cable.
This will be matter of great safety In
the case of such storms as were expe-
rienced last winter

Ichabod Rose q farm he owned
Ichabod-he grinted and groaned-
Stoutly proclaimed that he had loaned
More corn to the crows
Than any one knows
And said II he froxe
Or turned up his toes
Which any one knows wouldn't be
Surprising-on account of the crows,
vengeance III nave, said Ichabod Rose.
Ichabod he thought a big think:
Bought five birds whose life was extinct
Nine balls OF twine with nary a kink,
Then true as your born
He planted his corn
And on the next morn
Commenced to adorn
That field by the take with what
Should make any crow quake,
Then said to himself, "Ichabod-shake'
Five stakes, "slantin," set here and there
On each, a crow. swung in the air.
A warning to crows from everywhere.
While from other stakes
He a net work makes
Of the Irvine that shakes
To beat the snakes
And scraps of tin in spirals
Grand. making noises in the land
But gathering windmill beats the band.
In center field meath big sunshade
He placed a scare" of a better grade.
This will knock en-" Ichabod said
FOR there DIG and fat,
Without any hat,
Meath the sunshade sat
Mrs. Ichabod: that
Had scarf Ich as every one
Knows-so, why not the crows?
Thought (and with reasom Ichabod Rose.
Ichabod went to view, one morn
The progress of his growing corn,
He wished that he was never born.
For there, I'll be bound
If his corn wasn't found
All scattered around
Over the ground.
Now a wall of despair from

For the crows had nest in Mrs. Ich's
hair.
