GUIDE SHOT HIMSELF.
Tough Experience of n. c. Hilton oi
Bingham, in the Woods.

Portland Me-, Dec. 5.-H. c. Hilton OF
Bingham, Me-, is now at the Maine Cen
eral hospital suffering from one of
Names too common shooting accidents.
Mr.. Hilton is guide and was out with
a New York party about seven miles
west Of Bingham village. He carried a
hammerless rifle and thinking that he
had a chance to shoot drew back the
safety. The chance was lost, but he
omitted to again push up the safety.
The party then started across a pond
and Hilton, who was a short distance
ahead of his companions, broke through
the ice and at the same time discharged
his rifle, the bullet entering just about
the knee and going down inside through
the muscles of his leg to the ankle bone.
He found himself in about five feet of
water and had to break ice for about
100 feet before he could get ashore. A
strap was then bound around the leg
above the wound and an overcoat also
put about it. Thus the guide lying on
the shore and drenched with ice water
had to be left for seven hours before
take him home.
He is now at the hospital. the bullet
has been successfully removed and he is
doing as well as can be expected cOnsid-
ering the accident. The rifle at last ac-
counts was i'm the bottom of the pond ami
Mr.. Hilton says that he will have no per-
sOnal feelings in the matter if it Is al
lowed to remain right where it is.

FINE VESSEL LOST.
But Worse Than Al that, Was Death
of Crew of Nine.

Boston, Dec. 5.-The Wesley NJ Oler
was a four master and was owned here
by Peter III. Crowell and Lewis X.
Thurlow and was worth $4,000. She
is partially insured. She was COM
manded by Capt. Harvey f. Eaton of
Jonesport, Me-, and carried a crew of
nine men.
She left Boston about two months
ago and took a cargo of coal from
Philadelphia to Porto Rico. She then
proceeded to Orichilla and loaded a
cargo of guano for New York. About
three weeks ago she encountered a
gale after leaving Orichilla and put in
20 Nassau on Nov. 6, i'm a disabled con-
dition and leaking.
The tug Underwater of the Boston
TowbOat Co., was at Pensacola, Fla
having towed with the steamer Orion
the big floating dry dock from Havana
to Pensacola. The owners of the Oler
engaged the Underwater to tow the
schooner and her cargo to New York,
and it was while on her way from
Nassau to New York in tow of the
Underwater that she was driven
ashore at Hatteras, the tow line pro-
badly having parted during the gale
or perhaps the tug could not hold her
and was compelled to abandon her.
The Oler was well-known in this
city. as she had piled between Boston
and Southern ports since she was
built, IL years ago. 1t could not be
learned who her crew were, or whether
they We're shipped i'm this city. Her
owners do not know.

FIRE At TACOMA.
Masonic Temple Destroyed, Following
Terrific Explosion.

Temple was burned this morning, fol-
lowing a terrific explosion which first
must have entirely wrecked the struc-
ture. the loss Is sl25.OOO and is almost
total to the occpants.
The fire is thought to have started in
the basement which was used by the
Laconia Hardware Co. In a very few
minutes several explosions occurred.
one of which was SO terrific that 1t
hurled fragments Of iron from the
building a distance OF a quarter Of a
mile and sent bricks and timbers
through wooden structures 400 feet
away. In addition, window glass in

the immediate sections for a wide area,
were shattered completely.
After the explosion the fire swept up
and in a very short time wiped out the
temple. The fierceness of the fire SEEM
ed almost incredible and that ii did
not spread seemed almost a miracle as
the wind was blowing a gale from the
northeast.
The Temple was of four stories in
height and was built in 1894 at a cost

ALL NEW ENGLAND
Is Feeling the Effect Of the First Touch
of Winter.

Boston, Dec. 5.-New England's first
severe snow storm began during the
night and continued with increasing
force. Friday. Coming up from the
southern coast the storm center's APP
proach was marked first by rain and
high winds and later by snow. The
wind caused trouble with the telegraph
wires and early in the day communica-
ton between New York and New Eng
land was cut off west Of New Haven.
The interruption embraced all lines
leading into New York state from the
northeastern section of the country.
East of New Haven, however, the lines
were not affected.
During the night, the storm center
moved up the coast from North Caro-
lima to New Jersey and the weather
bureau here showed that it's advance
was steady toward the New England
coast, but that there was some uncer-
tainty as to its rate Of progress. The
barometric indications were however.
that the center would reach Cape Cod
before night.
Shortly before midnight, the wind
from the northeast began to freshen.
Later rain started in. Before daylight
the wind was blowing ut a rate Of 33
miles an hour. with rain, sleet and
snow intermingled.
At o'clock, the storm had settled
down to snow and the wind had fallen
little. An hour later, fine cutting
snow swept i'm all directions by the
high wind seemed to be giving prophe-
cy of a blizzard.
The weather was far worse at sea
than on land. In the harbOr IL was
very thick. especially after the snow
began to fall. AS the shipping had
ample warning, 1t was hoped that no
serious disasters would result from the
storm.
Just before II O'Clock. news was re-
ceived of railroad accident at South
Ashburnham. due to slippery rails Two
freight trains ran together without much
to rolling stock but two men
jumped and one was killed and another
probably fatally injured by being struck
by a train passing on another track.
A small schooner, the Flo +. Nader,
ran on Dog Bar breakwater at GIouces-
ter in the storm during the night and
was wrecked The crew Of seven men
escaped.
Before noon the weather bureau issued
a bulletin saying that the storm was
moving northeast with increasing rapid
ity and that there was a prospect Of
weather, Friday night.
