A STowAwAy. The men unloading the
Warren liner Kansas at pier 6, Charlestown,
Mass, Saturday, found in the forehod a
stowaway, who was apparently dead. While
awaiting the arrival of doctor the man
was lifted out and placed in the sick berth,
where he was revived slightly. He gave
his name as Edward Fl Sherman of Lincoln
vile, Me-, where he has relatives living. He
went on board the Kansas when she Law at
Liverpool, and had lived since in the hold
without food or water. When the doctor
| H., a
expressed doubts of the mans recovery.
However, restoratives were applied, and in
an hour Sherman could talk more intelli-
| gently. Later the doctor thought he might
live. The Kansas sailed from LIVERPOOL
Feb, 29th, and the forehold was closed two
+ days before that. The doctor thinks he ate
some of the pine pitch in the hold Sherman
left his home in Maine 20 years ago, went to
South America, where he knocked around
l for some time and then became cattleman
, on South American steamers. On his last
! trip out of Buenos Ayres he was wrecked off
the Palmeros isles, and rescued by the
: steamer Gulf of Mexico and landed at
] Liverpool. He determined to sail for the
r United States, and so slowed himself away

nette Fernandez, 1st soprano and pianist
. Miss Gertrude A. Christie, I'd soprano and
= violinist; Miss Fannie E. Holt, 1st alto
= Miss Emma V. Foster, I'd alto, and Mr.
Chas. T. Grilley, entertainer. The Ariels are
well known in Belfast and sure of most
cordial reception. They are thorough artists
in their respective parts and their personal
bearing won many admirers during tneir
visit here last winter. Mr.. Grilley is 8
stranger here, but his high rank as an i'm
: personater is shown in the following notices
He kept the audience in a roar, and re-
8 sponded good natur, dly to repeated en-
. cores Boston Post, May 25 1894.
Charles 7. Grilley made his first appear
ance before an Oneida audience and fully
g sustained the reputation that had preceded
him. AS reader and impersonator he
, ranks as the best that has appeared here
His cha:ac representations are excellent
: his stories refined, and his personal magpe
: tism great. His audience was kept in roars
: OF laughter during the evening, and he was
obliged to respond to encores and double
= encores after each selection. Departing
d from his usual vein he gave the Grave-dig
i gers Scene from Hamlet" taking the foul
characters in monologue. AS he finished
!" this difficult scene the audience broke into
J. applause, which lasted for several minutes
n MIR. Grilley made decided hit here. 1One
