The season at the Gem theatre has been
so popular and successful that the man

universal request from the public that
the handsome Gem should not close its

of Hartford, e. ". Frisbee and Hairy Bah

suggesting means of relief in certain cases.
The general opinion was that the labor of
the deaf man is worth something and that
he should sell it Tor all it will bring in the

HIS LIFE a GOOD EXAMPLE.
Funeral of Corp. Benjamin Nielsen Held
Yesterday.

Spring street, near its junction with
South street, was dense1y crowded with
people for an hour, yesterday afternoon,
during the progress of the funeral of
Corporal Benjamin Nielsen of company A,
First Maine volunteers.
Corporal Nielsen was one of the three
men who died in the hospital, Sunday.
from typhoid fever contracted in camp at
Chickamauga. The funeral was held at
the residence of his brother-in-law, MIR.
John G. Olsen. Eight months ago the
funeral of Corp. Nelson's sister took place
in this same house of mourning.
Governor Powers had come here from
Augusta, on his way to the York county
fair, and he stopped over to attend THIS
funeral. He was accompanied by two
members of his staff, DR.. W. J. Maybury
of Saco and Col. John D. Printable OF
this city. Mayor Randall was with them.
Capt. George A. Dow Of company A.,
and Lieut.. Philbrook of company IL, were
also in attendance, together with SQUAD
of company A men, some OF whom are at

home from Augusta for tho special pur-
pose OF being present at the funeral OF
their beloved comrade.
The casket was draped with the Stars
and Stripes and was banked high with
floral tributes of esteem from comrades
and friends. Among the set pieces was
one from the Lincoln club, another from
attending members of company A, and
the third from the officers of the I'm
manuel Lutheran Literary association, of
which he was member.
Rev. Mr. Aaron of the Lutheran
church, officiated. His sermon was from
the text, II. Samuel, /, 25: 80, jonathan,
thou vast slain In high places. He paid
high tribute tn the character and good
name Of the deceased, praised his loyalty
aud devotion to his country, and quoted
the declaration of friend, that Nothing
too good could be said of Bennie Nielsen"
Referring to the zeal uhat was exempli-
fled by his young friend, the pastor said;
''I shall never forget his call at my room
the Saturday before he went to war. He
remained till late hour and was full OF
enthusiasm over his enlistment. he was
ready and willing to CO. even to die for
such q noble cause as the one for this holy
war, for Christianity, humanity, liberty,
for fellowmen in foreign land, for our
country and for Christ"
From the conscientious, straight-for
ward life of this young soldier. sacrificed
in his country's name, the preacher drew
a fitting lesson.
At the conclusion of his address Rev.
Mr. Aaron rendered solo, "Sleep on,

Runaway.

About ten o'clock this morning there
was quite an exciting runaway on San
Antonio street. Some farmer from
down the valley came to town with his
wagon loaded with canteloupes and sf-
ter having unloaded at one of the fruit
stands he left his team unhitched and
went in one of the stores.
The team started to walk off down
the street and some one in trying to
stop them frightened then, and a run
away was the consequence
The team was stopped by coming in
contact with the front of the grocery
store of Louis Jean, on the corner of
San Antonio and Stanton. One of the
horses was scratched up pretty badly
and had two teeth knocked out. The
store being of light frame work showed
scars OF the collision. The door framing
was all torn out and the
sheet iron doors were bent
in two or three places. One of the
horses was lying partly in the door
when the reporter arrived. and the
store keeper was so excited he didn't
know how he was going to get him out.
The owner of the team came as soon
as he could and the with help of the
bystanders the wagon was unhitched
from the horses and backed out.
Then the horse was taken out, much
to the relief of the store keeper and
his wife.
