BAZAAR AT ST. EL1zABETH,s.

The Bazaar and sale of fancy articles
which opened at the Convent on Free
street, one week ago, proved g most graft
flying success. Saturday was the closing
night. There was large attendance
present all the articles being disposed Of
A very popular and profitable feature of
the bazaar were the refreshment rooms
which were literally patronized. Every
afternoon and evening there were good
~ number present. to inspect the beauti-
full articles which met with ready sale.
This was the first time that the Sisters
of Mercy have held a bazaar for the bene-
fit of their institution, and the response
from the Cathedral, St. Dominics and
Sacred + cart parishes showed their efforts
are appreciated. A very handsome sum
will be realized. 1t is nearly quarter of
century since the Sisters of Mercy came
to Portland. The event will be fittingly
observed some time next summer by an
appropriate celebration.

BOATS FOR THE KLoNDIKE.

William Fl. jeffrey, secretary of the
Alaska Yukon Klondike Gold Syndicate,
is now having some fourteen boats con-
structed at Oldtown for the purpose of
navigating in the northwest section of
this country. They are being made by
George Leavitt, an experienced western
guide, and when completed will weigh
less than 1853 pounds each. They will be
built so that they can be taken apart in
four sections and carried overland when
necessary along with other baggage. But
Mr.. Jeffreys figures that it will only be
necessary to travel on foot about four
miles, and that in going overland by the
White Horse rapids. 1t will take about
eight days for the rs or 80 people in the
expedition to transport the boats and
baggage these four miles.
1t was Mr.. Jeffrey's original intention
to start for Juneau Saturday, but owing
to the earnest desire of his wife that he
pass Christmas at home he will not start
till the first of January. He will be alb
sent about six weeks, and will contract
for supplies and acquire such additional
information as is possible.
The main party expects to leave here
about the first of March and will reach
the KIondike on the first of May.

MAN INJURED.
BY the Explosion of An Old Dynamite
Cartridge.

Not long ago Marks 81 Earle ran a
sewer through their property in Fessenden
Park, Deering, blasting for this purpose
for quite distance. Yesterday morning
a crew of Italians went to work on the
sewer, intending to go over it a second
time and deepen it. One of the Italians,
q man about 80 years of age, whose name
is given as Rimenio, by some and Joseph
Squat by others, was employed with
others in picking out lot of loose stone.
which had been thrown up by blasting
some time ago. This Italian had the mis-
fortune to pick out an unexploded car
tidge which had been left in the stone
and in some way it exploded, making a
terrific conclusion and throwing guam
tity of rocks into the air. The italian
got portion of the charge directly in the
face, which was badly torn with small
stones and gravel. He bled profusely.
The men procured water and washed his
wounds as well as they were able.
The man was taken to the Maine Eye
and Ear Infirmary and after an exam1na-
ton it was reported that although the left
eye is badly injured, there is good
chance for saving it, while the other in
juries will not prove serious.

IN THE POLICE COURT.
Mrs. Emma b. Cookson Sent to House of
Correction.

Mrs. Emma B. Cookson, who was ar
rested on Saturday night on the charge
of shoplifting from several of the retail
stores of this city, was in the police court
yesterday morning. Mr.. George C.Owen,
OF the Owen Moore ( company. and Mr..
j. r. Libby were on hand ready to testi.
fly against the woman.
The prisoner was represented by John
B. Kehoe, who entered plea of nolo
contendere for his client. He argued
that the woman had for some time been
addicted to the morphine and cocaine
habits and that on this account she was
not morally responsible for her actions.
1t was while under the influence of these
drugs that she had committed these
thefts on Saturday night and while she
might be technically guilty, she was not
morally SO. MIR. Kehoe felt that if tho
woman was sent over to the Greeley hos
pital the ends of justice would be sub
served.
Marshal Sylvester said that he could
not agree as to the fact that the woman
was not morally responsible for her act
ions. This was not the second, third or
fourth time that the woman had been
caught in this act of lifting goods and
appropriating to her own use.
Judge Robinson after considering the
matter for some time, sentenced the
prisoner to 80 days in the house of cor
rection on each of the two counts
charged against her by the Owen, Moore
company, and the j. R. Libby.
The continuance case of assault against
Mcguire who complained of the cruelty
of her husband, was slightly confused
when the court asked her why she had
not put in an appearance on Saturday
morning She had now become more
lenient and said that she would be will
ing to have the case dropped on condition
that her husband would take tho pledge
for one year. William H. Looney ap-
peared for Mrs. Mcguire
The court sharply reprimanded Mcguire
and then agreed to suspend sentence of
80 days ina jail on his promise to pay the
costs and takesthe spledge for one year.
The respondent consented to do this and
was accordingly discharged.
James W. Heath of Saco, drunkenness,
had his case continued to Wednesday and
the city physician ordered to investigate
