We feel sure that Portland artists and
our citizens in general will be pleased to
learn that through the efforts of Messrs
Gould and Whipple, there will be exhib-
tied at their studio next week the sum
mer work of Mr.. Fl enry DeMerritt Young

by all the leading exhibits in Boston for
several years. and is also "a regular con-
tributor to the New York, Philadelphia
and Chicago annual exhibits. He has
been at work this summer illustrating
MIR. K. N. Stevens work, can Enemy
to the King" which he has rewritten as
story.
can Enemy to the King" is the play
that was made so popular last winter by
Mr.. Southern, and is on the same line as,
and ranks with Anthony Hopes Prison
err of Zenda'' which Mr.. Sothern pre-
scented with SO much success two season 8
ago. Although An Enemy to the King"
is on entirely different lines, it has tie
same dramatic action and gives great
scope for the display of Mr.. Young's we'll
known ability in illustrating. Besides
this, Mr. Young has illustrated series
Of short sketches by Mary wilkins and
two short stories by Sophia SWEET. He
has spent the summer at Little Diamond
Island, and has also found time to make
several very pleasing water colors of
the beautiful scenery in Casco Bay, and
these together with work he has done in
Penobscot and at other points on the
Maine Coast will be shown as we'll as
many of the original drawings. and plate
proofs of ''An Enemy to the King and
other stories.
AS Mr.. Young has several important
commissions ION ..hand, he soan remain
here but one week, and although his en-
tire collection will not be placed on sale,
there will be many choice gems which can
be.secured at reasonable prices. We feel
sure that Portland people will appreciate
the efforts of Messrs Gould and Whipple
in securing this exhibit which reflects
much credit on this enterprising house.

day night. reached the city at 1890
o'clock sunday morning. Conductor
Aldrich states that just "a the train
came to halt at Grants station a

as he could see several men boarded

man, Henry Abel, was compelled, at
the point of II revolver, TO pull the
train up To the stock yards, about two
miles distant.
The conductor. fully realizing that
something was wrong, left the train
at the stock yards, where the robbers
had ordered the train stopped. and ran
back to the station, t~elegraphing the
news to Division Superintendent Hub
bard at Gallup and sheriff Hubbell.
In the meantime, however. the rob.
bers, who wore false boards and were
unmasked, cut the mail coach, day
coach. chair car, aud the Pullman
sleeper from the engine and express
car, and the fireman was again ordered
to pull the latter further up the road.
They commenced dynamiting the ex.
press car, and the third explosion blew
out n end of the car. Abel being
forced to assist the robbers.
Once inside they picked out a safe,
which they surmised contained con.
siderable money aud valuables, and
placed on IL u stick OF dynamite, IA few
Jumps of coal on the dynamite and
then attached n fuse, which they lit
and blew a hole IN the safe. They
helped themselves to a number OF
packages containing gold and silver
coin, which they placed in a sack, aud
then left the car, going in the direc-
ton of the Malpoi rocks, where their
horses were picketed
The express car was on fire. and
Abel thoroughly frightened. and after
seeing the robbers at u safe distance,
backed the engine and express car
into the other portion of the train left
standing at the stock yards. and in
consequence the express ear, day
coach and chair ear were telcscoped
and all three destroyed by fire.
Express route agents state that the
robbers did not get into the most val.
liable safe, which, with two others,
We're badly warped and damaged
by fire They think, however, that
the robbers secured several hundred
dollars, but the exact will not
be known for some time, as all the
papers and records of the car and safe
were burned in the dire. The baggage
was all removed before the fire got
under Roadway and saved.
The passengers were not molested.
United States Marshal Foraker Is
satisfied thut the original Black Jack
gang of desperadoes is responsible for
this crime. He says there are eight
men in the band, and last week he
had Information that they had re.
turned from Mexico and were in Ari

day morning off Long Point on Lake
Erie. This point. just out into the
lake from the Canadian shore about
IS miles west of Buffalo and its
vicinity, has been the scene Of many
disasters.
The Idaho, commanded by Captain
william Gillies of buffalo, and having
on board a crew Of twenty-one all
told. left Buffalo Friday afternoon
laden with package freight for Mil
waukce. A strong southwest gale
was blowing Mt the time and
the weather Office had storm
signals up for the lake. Captain
Gillies thought he could weather tho
gale and headed straight up the lake.
Shortly after passing Long Point he
discovered his mistake and tried to
run for shelter. The sea was running
very high at the time. aud in turning

quenched the fires in the engines and

The captain Of the Inflated steamer,

The second mate. Louis La Force,
told n narrowing story to the crew Of
the Mariposa. He said that In the
rush OF men from the hold, one OF
them, a Waterman, was trampled to
death. The crew was frantic to get
out of the place. Six or eight, he said,
must have drowned like rats in the
hold. They were not warned Of tho
sinking Of the boat.
