No theatrical enterprise has ever
offered more brilliant promise of sue
cess than Charles B. Hauford's engage
ment which will take place at GloYer's
opera house on Tuesday Oct 81, when
ha wall produce The Tanning of the
Shrew. Mr.. Hanford comes in the
maturity of genius upon which both
critical opinion and popular applause
have set the seal of unqualified approv-
al. The season which he closed last
June with "The Tanning of the Shrew"
as the attraction was the most prosper
Gus of any that he has ever enjoyed.
So extraordinary was the interest
manifested in this production that Mr..
Hanford has decided TO retain ii in his
bill this season. Mr.. Hanford has be-
slowed an enormous amount of per
sonal care and expense upon this lat
ter production, as the character of
Benedick is one which he has been for
many years DESTROYS of playing. 1t
offers some of the finest opportunities
for the highest type of comedy of any
character in Shakespeare, and at the
same time calls into frequent play the
fine declamatory talents which distin-
guish Mr.. Hanford as tragedian.

Madison Square Garden tonight,
two persons are believed to have
been killed and number seriously
injured. Owing to the panic and
confusion among the crowd watch

the fatalities. The concussion
was so heavy that many windows
were broken in houses around the
Square. When the panic had
subsided Is persons werefound un-
conscious on the ground. Some
however, quickly recovered, 9th.
ers had been probably mutilated.
It is reported that four boyswatch-
ing the fire works on Madison
Avenue were killed. Five hundred
extra policemen were ordered ON
duty.
Twelve persons were killed out
right many being blown to pieces
and at least Oinjured and many

At least 10000 persons thronged
the square at the time of the explo.
sion which was succeeded by a
frightful panic in which hundreds
were thrown down and trampled
under foot.

Eugene, Or, Nov. Bert Hea-

Benton Tracy, at Junction City last
May, was today found guilty of
murder 10 the second degree. The
penalty for this offence is imprison-
ment for life, and sentence will be
pronounced tomorrow morning. -.
The closing argument of the.
counsel was made in the Circuit
Court this forenoon by Prosecuting
Attorney George NJ Brown At II
O'Clock the case was given to the
jury, and they retired for deliber-
alton. Everybody who heard the
trial was satisfied of the guilt of
accused, and it seems the jury held
the same opinion, for there was no
discussion among them of glilt or
innocence. Some were opposed to
the penalty of execution where the
evidence was wholly circumstan-
tial. After four hours in the cham
Der the jury agreed upon a verdict
OF murder in the second degree.
Chicago, Nov. AFTER having
carried a knife blade an inch and
a. quarter in length in his brain
for % years, P J Kent has under
gone a successful operation for its
removal. The blade had broken
off in the skull and the point had
been all these years inserted square
/ ly into the brain. Since the injury
had been received Mr. Kent had
suffered from epileptic seizures. The
physicians who pelformedt he oper-
alton say the patient will recover
! full control of his muscles.
Mr. Kent was attacked when 16
years of-age by a stranger who stab
bed him on the frontal bone shortly
after the injury had been inflicted,
he was seized with dizziness and
convulsions and became an invalid.
The case attracted much attention
in Chicago hospitals, in almost all
of which Kent has been patient.

Search was then commenced in

the railrord tracks among the noun
tains, where the hunting party had
camped, and the engineer was in
structed to blow the whistle at fre-
quent intervals, 60 that the lost
could get his bearings, if he were
still alive. They shouted, fired
guns, built fires on exposed places,
but SO far everything has been with
out result.
While the search for Mr. Egan
will be continued until he is found
or there is no possible chance of
finding him, his friends have lost
hope that the search will result
successfully. Storms have prevail
led in the mountains almost every
day since Mr. Egan's disappearance,
and a severe snow storm ragged all
day today. The snow is now about
three feet deep, making travelling
difficult and dangerous, and cover
ing all tracks. If Mr. Egan has
persisted, the deep snow will pre-
vent his body from being found un
til the snow melts late in the
