A MARROW ESCAPE.
Eddie Jenness Owes Life to Boatmen
At Old Orchard.

1t develops that Eddie Jenness. the 49,
year-old son of Mrs. Eva Jenness, who
was reported Wednesday to be drowned
at Old Orchard, did not lose his life, al
though he had very narrow escape
while in swimming from being carried
out to sea and was rescued in an almost
unconscious condition.
According to reports received at Old
Orchard by members of the family. the
boy went in swimming Wednesday after
noon and his clothes were found on the
shore after a report had been circulated
that swimmer had been seen battling
with the surf The boy is good swim
mer but was carried some distance out
to sea and beyond the observation O.
anyone at the point where he went into
the water. He was rescued when he had
practically exhausted himself in his fight
with the waves, by two men in boat
and was carried bv them to camp ir
an almost unconscious condition. 1t took
the assistance of physicians working upo'
him for several hours to get him in such
condition that he could be removed from
the camp.
The sending Of the message to Mrs
Jenness is explained from the fact that
1t was several hours after the report o.
the finding of the boys clothes was re
ceived at Old Orchard before it was
learned that he had been rescued and was
cared for at the camp.
The boy is still weak from exposure
and it Is doubtful if he will be able t.
come home before Saturday.
Mrs Eva Jenness went to Old Orchard
at, 3 A. M. Thursday on train and re
turned home in the evening. The sfocl
of the reports in regard to her son and
his narrow escape have completely pros,
trated her and she is now quite i'll at her
home. Thomaston road,

particularly affected the said company
because OF its large fixed charges re-

Good Performances to Large Crowd.

circus came to Augusta Thursda'
morning and after exhibiting it's
wares in big parade it played to two
immense crowds in the afternoon an6
evening. The crowd that attended
the afternoon performance great.
surprised all hands as the circus has
played both Lewiston and Watervill'
this week and it was hardly expect
ed that so many thousands would visit
the city in the afternoon.
The usual features that have become
stand patters" in circusdom for the
last half century were amplified tc
such an extent that they appeared al
most new. Certain it is that no such
wire walkers ever accompanied cir
Gus as shown here Thursday. Three
ladies' and a man performed in the
center ring and the acts of daring
that they accomplished with seeming
ease were really marvellous. A fam
lily of tumblers gave an exhibition
that could hardly be equalled and GER
tainly not excelled. They drew the
attention of the crowd to the evident
chagrin of the other performers and
they were greeted with tremendous
roar of applause at the conclusion OF
their act.
The strong girl, who lifted barrels
with her teeth, was a new feature aho
her strength was wonderful.
The riders were all star performers
and the aerial acrobatS were OF the
usual variety. The collection of clowns
was no to the standard and DID
some very ludicious stunts. Iak-
en- as a whole the circus was all tha'
could be expected and it would prop
ably draw a good house another day

citizens in general and the ponce IN
