STRUCK BY FALLING CHIMNEY.
A Little Girl at Cash's Corner Badly In
jured.


Ida Skillings, the five years old daugh-
ter of George Skillings, the blacksmith at
Cash's Corner was seriously if not fatally
injured at that place yesterday forenoon.
Mr.. Skillings was raising his house and
the child was standing behind the build
ing and watching the men at their work
when suddenly the chimney fell and COM
pletely buried the little girl from sight.
Her father and the worklnen rushed to
the spot expecting to find the little girl
dead When she had been dug out from
under the pile of bricks it was found that
her head was badly cut and her body
terribly bruised, but she was alive. 1t
was some two hours before the little girl
recovered consciousness and DIR. Lombard,
who was called to attend her was not
positive Just what internal injuries the
child might have received. The little
girl seemed to be better late yesterday
afternoon and there are great hopes enter
tanned of her recovery.

GA PARISIEN."
Goudy s. Kent's Elegant New Congress St.
Salon.

Last evening party of ladies and gen.
tlemen were invited to inspect Messrs.
Cloudy & Kent's handsome new salon at
4S9 Congress street, adjoining the old
Longfellow mansion. The store is
owned by the Brown estate, and they
have spared no expense in its altera-
lions. There is probably no store in the
city that exhibits more exquisite taste
in it's decorations, or that is SO brilliant
in its electrical display. 1t is store that
would do credit not only to the Fifth
avenue, but, as its name indicates,
French extraction, we might say it would
adorn the Partisan boulevards.
.. The steel ceiling is splendid piece of
work. The dados and freizes are all in
made colors to correspond. There are
large plate glass mirrors of the finest
workmanship, and the tables and chairs
are all of the finest woods. The floor of
the first store and the dainty tea parlor
in the rear, are in hard woods. highly
polished The Bullets are all adorned
with the finest china and glassware.
A superb soda fountain occupies the
space at the left of the store as one enters,
the top showing Cupids at play in the
elaborate carving. AS Holmes says:
'sAnd may the cherubs in it's face
Protect me from the sin
That dooms me to those dreadful words
My dear, where have you BEEN"
But one great beauty of the place is the
charming arrangement of the electric
lights by Mr.. Chandler Of the Portland
Electric Light Co. They harmonic
thoroughly with all the other decorations,
they are in all colors and designs, and
when the shades of the dc CTS and win
dows are raised they will present scene
to the outside public as of fairyland.
This salon will be devoted to dainty
lunches, delicious beverages, delicate
novelties in pastry, rolls, bread, fancy
biscuits and confectionery.
Mr.. R. f. Salter of Chicago has been
especially engaged to concoct beverages
that will tickle the palate of the most
blase.
'The goblet hollows all is holds, what
eer the liquid be-. :"
But the public will soon have an oppor-
utnity to judge for itself. The ladies and
gentlemen who tasted them last night
were satisfied that Mr. Salter and his
assistants were masters of their art.

The New Theatre.

The columns in the rear of the audi
forum are being finished in scaglioa,
which is close imitation of marble. The
core is an iron post and around this is
put thick coat of sand and plaster,
which dries almost as hard as rock.
This will receive an outer coating which
of many colors.
Gates & Morange of New York will
soon begin to paint the scenery.
Plastering is now in progress and is
being done by a large crew of men.
Mr.. Albert Haberstroh Of Boston,
has secured the contract to decorate the
theatre. He decorated the Congress

element of fun is furnished by the fact
that Mrs Virginia Prude, a married
woman and belle of Richmond, decides tC

brother. The outcome of the various
combinations are that Mrs. I. Collier
Downe goes to the ball, finds herself mis-,

name has no resemblance to him. She
tries waltz with the stranger and is

witness said he was not in the habit of
hauling beef covered with hay.

George J. Katon of Scarboro who was
employed in Best's shop on Commercial
street last winter, testified that he called
at the rendering establishment on Tues
day, January 10, and saw pile OF beef
there. He didn't see it afterward. John
McDonald, John Hill and John Gates,
who were in Best's employ last January,
are not there now. Witness said he did
not know where they are.
In cross-examination Mr. Katon said
Med acknowledged after the ar
rest of Best and Gum, that he swore
falsely when he said Mr.. Best sold the
Libby meat. The witness worked in Mr..
Best's Portland shop, and never saw any
of the Libby beef brought in there, and
never saw any beef with hay on top of it
delivered at the store.
John Bragdon of Scarboro saw one OF
Best's teams driven toward the city, last
January, with hay on top OF some barrels
of beef. AS the load passed the hay blew
backward and he saw the barrels of beef.
John H. Wilson, who has long been in
Mr.. Best's employ, and was bookkeeper
at the Portland shop last January, adj
mitted that he told McDermott to tell
Gum not to send over any beef OH the
Tuesday in question. But under cross
examination, this witness explained that
he had no room at that time for more
meat, and that was why he sent word to
the foreman of the slaughter house not to
send over any. He said, further, that it
was customary to haul hides from the
slaughter house to the store in sugar bar
rels, but they never brought beef over in
thai manner. He had never known of the
delivery of any Of the Libby beef.
Questioned by the county attorney, the
witness said he did not know the present
whereabouts of Gates, Hill or Mcdonald,
former employees of Mr.. Best.
The prosecution rested here. Gen. Mat
tocks, in his opening argument said he
was confident that his clients will be ac-
quilted He said that of'all the witnesses
who had testified for the state the testi
mony of but one was damaging to the re-
spondents, and his testimony is not only
unreasonable and inconsistent, but is
clearly based on spite. That witness is
Charles McDermott, who had spite
against Foreman Gum, and took this
method of getting square. The defending
attorney laid stress ON the testimony OF
Commissioners Bailey and Deering, that
the dressing of the carcasses OF the
diseased herd was done roughly, and not
in the manner necessary if the carcasses
were to be marketed He added that II
his clients had intended deception they
would never have utilized such man as
McDermott in carrying out their plans.
He spoke of the great hardship MI.
Best had been subjected to by reason OF
his prosecution, but expressed the ass1r-
ance that the whole matter will be cleared
up to the satisfaction of the jury, SO that
verdict of not guilty will be inevltaoie'
The testimony for the defense Will De
gin this morning, and will probably De
