A LIVELY RUNAWAY.

Yesterday noon two grocery horses Gre
ated considerable excitement on Con-
gress street. George G. Shaw & Co. S
horse was standing in front of their store
on Congress square and took fright from
some cause which was not apparent.
The horse ran up Congress street at ter
rifle rate of speed. Morrill, & Ross's horse
was standing in front of the Columbian,
the driver not being in the wagon. The
horse saw the other one coming and
started to run down Park street, but was
struck by the first runaway and thrown
round SO that he headed up Congress
street. Then both horses tore up Con-
gress street at the top of their speed
The covered top of Morrill, & Ross's was
thrown off and dumped directly in front
Of their store. Farther up the street both
horses were stopped and it was found
that no great damage had been done by
either.

ON HIS WAY TO KLoNDIKE.
Letter Received from Capt. j. b. Croker
Written in Alaskan Wilds.

Capt. j. B. Croker of Franklin, Mass.
who IS on his way to the Klondike, has
written letter to his relatives in Ethis
city from Lake Lindermann, Alaska, the
date of the letter being Oct. IA.
Capt. Croker is now on his way
through the chain of lakes which lead
into the head waters of the Yukon river.
In his letter he says:
81 have arrived at this point, having
boat in readiness to sail up through Lake
Bennett as soon as the weather will per-
nit. From Lake Bennett we will be
obliged to pass through Lake Tagish and
then comes the Yukon river. We hope to
reach the Klondike this fall if we don't
get caught in the ice when the weather
gets too cold. If we do get iced in we
will build a log house and pass the win
ter here and go up through the lakes
in the spring. We have plenty of food
and are in no danger of starving. There
are seven good men in our party and we
are all well and strong. I hope to be
home again in two or three years with
plenty of gold, but a man can never get
enough gold on the Klondike to pay him
for all the suffering he will have to un-
dergo to get there. 1t is very cold now
and has been showing constantly for some
days with no signs of it's letting up"
Capt. Crocker adds that his relatives
may address their next letter to him at
"Dawson City" He has with him as a
mariner an old western miner who Ia &C.
customed to living rough life and
knows how to care for himself and the
party he is with. The last letter previous
to this one that Capt. Crocker's relatives
received from him was dated Dyea, Sept.
18th and in that letter the writer stated
that he had provisions enough to last
two men ten months. 1t is presumed that
the other members of the party are
equally we'll supplied with food.

FUNERAL OF MISS LUTTE PEN
NELL

The funeral of Miss Lutte Pennell took
place from her late residence on Bracket
street yesterday afternoon. Despite the
pouring rain the house was crowded with
her many friends including many of the
prominent musical people of Portland.
The services were the usual burial ser
vices, but without music as those who
would ave been glad to do go felt that
their love for the deceased would affect
them too seriously. Rev. DR.. Jenkins of
State street church and Rev. Mr.. Howe OF
Lewiston officiated. Both spoke beauti.
fully Of Miss Pennell'se admirable
character, and Mr.. Howe referred particu.
larly to her obliging nature that prompted
her, as a member of his church choir to
offer her services upon all occasions. The
floral tributes were SO profuse that they
filled the rooms and required the services
OF two hacks to convey them to the GENE
terry. The pail bearers were Henry S.
Higgins, Fred Fl. Palmer, Harry f. Mer-
rill and Mr.. King. Four intimate young
lady friends officiated as honorary pail
bearers. A large party of friends came
from Lewiston to attend the funeral. The
interment was at Evergreen,
