ii DAYS IN WOODS.
i7-Year-old Girl Subsisted on Berries,
Roots and Herbs.

Curling, n. F., Oct. Il.-After sub
sisting for eleven days on berries, roots,
herbs and such other articles of food
as she could gather in the woods, Aman-
da Hewell, l5-year-old girl, was found
in pitiful condition at the bottom Of Il
high cliff near Bonne bay yesterday.
Her clothing was in rags, and her feet
were so badly bruised that gangrene had
set in, and they will have to be ampu-
tated Her physical condition was such
that she did not recognize the members
of the rescue party. She had lain at
the foot of the precipice two days, hav-
ing fallen over it, and she was too weak
to continue her struggle for life.
During almost the entire time that
the girl was wandering in the woods en-
during hunger, cold and darkness, it
rained Trees were her only shelter at
night, and by day she kept going, de-
spite the rain, in the hope OF finding her
way out of the wildness.
The rescuers carried her over the road
to a nearby village, and then sent her
here by boat. She will be transferred
to the general hospital at st. Johns at
once

WI CHANG CAPTURED,
CITY IN UPR0AR
Military Commander Killed, Many Fires
Started - twenty-five American
Missionaries There, Whose
Fate Hasn't Been Learned.

Hankow, China, Oct. ll-The revolu.
tionists to-day are in undisputed pos
session of Wu Chang. The city's cap
ture was the result of the tremendous
feeling aroused by the execution of four
rebels in front of the viceroy's yamen
yesterday The troops proved disaffected
and within a few hours the city was in
an uproar. Many fires were started the
headquarters of the viceroy and provin-
cial treasurer were burned, the military
commander was killed and the viceroy
escaped only by flight. With the revo-
lutionists in control OF the capital, it is
impossible to tell how far the movement
win spread. WI Chang is the capital
of the province of WI Peh and has a
population of 100000 Among the for
eigners known to have been in WI
Chang yesterday We're twenty-five Amer
icaR missionaries. No word as to their
fate has been received.
The revolutionsts battled with the
loyal troops yesterday and last night.
To-day the foreign residents have not
been molested. The revolutionary com
mittee issued proclamation exhorting
its followers not to harm the citizens
of other countries. The fact that the
wishes of the committee have been re-
spected thus far, while reassuring to
other nations, is sinister sign for the
Chinese government, as it indicates that
rebellious movements are now more than
thoroughly organized. The officials fear
that the disaffection among the troops
will spread to Hankow, just across the
river. Every effort is being made to
ward off this danger. Five gunboats are
on the river and the foreign consuls
have telegraphed the government, asking
that warships be sent to the scene.

Milton, Oct. ll.--Fire last night did
damage to the international Paper COM

the storehouse, destroying the interior

o'clock. Three streams of water on pulp
wood close by valued at 100000, pre-
vented more serious damage. How the
fire caught is a mystery, as no electric

had been there. A curious circumstance
was the discovery Of another fire 500
feet away in the main building.

TURKS RESISTED.
And After Sharp Battle They Retired
in Good Order.

Tripoli Oct. 1.-The Turks apparent
ly do not intend to abandon Tripoli to
the Italians without further determined
resistance. For several days bands OF
horsemen have been reconnoitering in
the vicinity of the Italian outposts.
Several times at night they have been
discovered by the searchlights of the
warships and shells have driven them
back again into the hills.
About one o'clock yesterday morning
a force of about 5000 Turkish troops
with field guns was discovered adyane-
ing in two columns, with the evident
intention of recapturing the town. A
large body of natives marched with the
troops and presented formidable ar
ray. The Italian commander, however,
had had an intimation that such an
attempt would probably be made, and
his men were amply prepared.
The Italian guns were well placed, and
the Turks were met with a heavy ar

o'clock it slaekened and then gradually

order, although it is reported that they
suffered heavy losses.

Baldwin Of the Madame X" company,
who was shot near the eye with blank
cartridge during the production of the
show at Nashua Monday night, came
here yesterday with the company. and
the wound caused him so much pain
that it was necessary to eall Dr. Bate.
man to treat it.
It is thought that the cartridge was
too heavily charged with powder and
that this fact accounts for the injury
to Mr.. Baldwin. The wound is a serious
one and came near costing Mr.. Baldwin
the sight Of one eye. He played here
last night swathed in bandages, and
carried his act well, though the wound
has affected his condition somewhat.

ferred there, murdered and murderer
We're under the same roof
Carlyle is now under government iur-
isdiction and il is not known whether
OF not the state of Vermont will make
any claim to him, States Attorney II.
B. Shaw and Sheriff j. H. Allen were
on the scene of the murder of the girl
and collected a large amount Of tes-
timony, but the states attorney was
not certain what the course weald be.
The case has some complications as the

Girls Had Rejected His Attentions.
Although the shooting OF Fox is cas-
ily ascribed TO Carlyle's anger when re-
ported for his non.appearance at duty
that morning and the thought that he
had been mistreated by the man when
working under him, the reason for shoot
ing the girls Is not so clear. They are
known TO have rejected his attentions
as they feared him, but he had never
been around the resort TO a great ex-
tent. Yesterday morning he visited Wi
nooski and spoke to physician there,
asking him to call on the Washington
girl, who was i'll with rheumatism, and
did not appear TO be on anything but
friendly terms with her. He also spoke
to photographer and asked him to
come up at 2.30 in the afternoon and
take picture Of one Of the girls. The
photographer was on hand while the
states attorney was investigating the
murder, having reached the scene short
Iv before the undertaken arrived
