Rockland people went to the London
Bioscope Co. entertainment Thursday even

hanpily surprised, for the entertainment
was delightful. The moving pictures were
the best ever given in this city and compris-
ed wide range Of subjects. The pictures r,s $
scenes from Little Red Riding Hood and A
journey to the Moon were well worth the
the price of admission. The graver sub

comical nature. Howard Clifton, the man
with thousand voices, rendered several

has given it his constant care and super

SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Frank Brewster is
at his home on Bayvew street, suffering
, from severe complication of injuries re-
sulting from his being run over by run
away team Tuesday. A two-horse team
owned by J. F. Sheldon became frightened
| at Mathews Bros whistle at 1870 O'Clock
and ran away. They came up behind Mr..
Brewster, who was walking in the street in
, front of Cooper & Co.'S office, knocked him
down and the sled went over him. He was
rolled over and over beneath the bars of the
! sled An examination showed that he had
a severe confusion on the head, several cuts
) on the scalp and face, a badly bruised arm,
) and a generally bruised condition of the
body Yesterday forenoon he was getting
along as we'll as could be expected. DR.. Viii
J son, who attended the case, told a Journal
representative that Mr.. Brewster had a
very narrow escape, as several OF the
wounds are on firm parts of the body and
head, and while merely painful contusions
are very near to parts where the same force
, would result in instant death.
