Ezra Kendall in "A Pair of Kids." at the Opera House to-morrow night is sure to be as amusing as ever. The play depends for interest upon bright repartee, clever hits and droll stage effects, the action being consequently dominated by a spirit of exageration and burlesque. The introduction of an old countryman into a city restaurant and his sudden transferral to a prison through an unexpected series of complications affords the field. The play contains an abundance of bright dancirg and musical specialties.

We do not know who had charge of numbering the houses in this city, but it was not done regularly ani systematically. The regular rule is fifty numbers to a square but our numbering was done in a slipshod, haphazard, irregular way and you can not tell just where you will strike a number. On Walnut street in four squares, you run to 100 and on Main street in two squares, you run to 101. The greater part of the numbering really needs to be done over so that ij would be regular.

The funeral of Rev.

Lodge Meeting.

There will be a meeting of the Loyal Legion of Laughter Lovers of Greenfield at the Opera House on Tuesday evening, Feb. 12th, presided over by the comedian Ezra Kendall, who will be surrounded by an excellent company of players, and dull care will be swallowed up in mirth and merriment.

The new work will consist of "A Pair of Kids," now iu its tenth season of popular success.

SCHOOL, NOTES.

The teachers over the county are very well pleased that we are to have longer terms of school this year than common.

There should be patriotic exercises in all the schools of the county on Feb. 22nd Washington's birthday. Where the flag is not floating over the school-house that would be a good day to put it there.

The orations of the senior class of the Franklin high school for this year will be upon historical subjects. Each member of the class will represent a certain period of history in his commencement oration.

Good II True.

Dogs have their days and cats have their nights, and Ezra Kendall, the comedian, has his night on Tuesday, Feb. 12, at. the Opera House. "A Pair of Kids" will be with us with all its fun, music, singing, dancing and bright wit. Even the old paste on the bill boards "cracks" with a smile as Ezra's "old countryman" face is spread to the gaze. On the street Mr. Kendall admits 33 years that he knows of, but OH the stage he is 60, and they say he "acts like sixty," toe.

The Water Pipes llursled.

Yesterday about 5 p. m. a two inch water pipe bursted at the glass works, which flooded things with water anj also run the pressure in the mains down very low. Fire Chief Cosby was aroused and after a search located the broken main at the glass works, ond shut down a water gate. Some one later opened the gate which was a dangerous proceeding, as it lowered the pressure in the mains, and might possibly have caused a broken pump

BRAVE WORK OF LIFESAVERS.

After Hours of Kxposuro, Clinging to tho

Rigging of a Disabled Schooner, Seven

Sailors Drop Into the Sea anil Are

Drowned—An Kntire Crew of Fourteen

Men Lost Near Liverpool, X. S.

FIRE ISLAND, Feb. 11.—Two men who clung for 40 hours to the rigging of their vessel, off' Five island beach were rescued at midnight by the crew of tho Lone Hill lifesavjng station. The vessel proved to be the schooner Louis V. Place, Captain Squires, coal-laden from Baltimore to New York. She left Baltimore on Jan. 28, and was wrecked during the height of the gale. Nine men took to the rigging when the vessel went down an eighth of a mile off the shore and they clung in the raging blizzard with the spray freezing as it dashed over them until, one by one, seven of them slipped into the seas or hung lifeless, bound to the rigging by a rope. Two only were able to endure the terrible exposure. They are S. J. Nelson, whose home is Jn Providence, and William Stevens/?? German of Rockland, e. The rescued men are badly frostbitten and it is thought that, Nelson will lose both feet.

The story of their rescue is a tribute to the brave lifesavers who have for two days been making almost superhuman efforts to reach the wrecked schooner. It was on Tuesday last that the Place ran into the gale, juid it was found that she was leaking badly. The coast of Long Island was then dead ahead, and after careful preparations the vessel was allowed to drive straight at the beach. Half an hour later she touched her nose on the outer bar and a heavy wave lifted her high on the sandbar. As she settled on her side the waves broke furiously over her and chilled to the bone the men who had sought safety in the ropes.

The lifesavers sent out life lines, but not before the seamen were almost frozen to death and so stiff as to be unable to get to them. They tried countless times to launch their boat, but on each occasion the breakers drove it back •with renewed fury to the shore. For two days, each hour of the day, the same attempts were repeated, while those on shore could see, hour by hour, that their aid was of decreasing value. One by one the men in the rigging gave way to the exposure, and when at midnight the lifesavers, under the command of Captain Baker, pushed their boat into the surf and pulled like madmen to the wreck where there wero but two lives remaining of the nine.

During all that time the men in the ropes had not tasted food nor drink. Just a spark of life seemed to remain, and although the two were able to drop from the rigging into the lifeboat, they were almost insensible. One of them presented a terrible appearance. His face, hands and feet were frozen. He was unable to speak for several hours. This was Nslson. His legs were encased in a pair of long boots and the water in them had frozen into a solid cake. Stevens had been more fortunate. He had slipped his boots off and had wrapped his feet in a huge piece of canvass. It was through his efforts that the other survivor had been kept alive. Each time that Nelson's head sank on his breast (luring the blinding storm, Stevens would reach over and pound him into sensibility again. The latter was able soon after his resuce to tell the story of the wreck and the terrible experiences of the two men

The dead are: Captain Charles Squires, 50 years old, married, with one eliild, New York city.

Engineer Charles Allen, 28 years old, single, of Providence. Mate Jaibv, 44 years old, of Norway.

Fritz Ward, seaman, 20 years old, single, of Norway. Charles Morrison, cook.

Gus Olesar, 28 years old, of Sweden. August Fullerton, seaman. The bodies of the mate and the Swede are still lashed to the rigging. The others dropped into the sea.

FOURTEEN LIVES LOST.

A Fishing Schooner Wrecked Scnr Liverpool, Nova Scotia.

HALIFAX, Feb. 11.—One of the late arrivals at this port yesterday announced the loss on Friday of the Gloucester fishing schooner Clara F. Friend, with all on board. The Friend left Gloxicester two wreeks ago bound for the Georges on a fisliing trip, and carried a crew of 14 men. On Friday, after weathering a succession of gales, the terrific storm caught her while off Eastern Head, near Liverpool, N. S., and she was driven upon the rocks, going to pieces soon pfterward. Not one of the crew was saved.

A dispatch from Liverpool, received late last night, confirmed the news of the loss of the Friend and says that several bodies have been washed ashore from the wreck.

On the Friend, besides Captain M. Spencer, there wen Fimon Huse, Michael Cardigan, William Fogarity, John Smith, George Olson, John Olson, James Warner, J. Forton, William Spencer, Tliirsten Victor, Fred Benson, Robert Merchant and Fred McCauley.

FOURTEEN PERSONS RESCUED.

Good Work of the Unibria but No Tidings of the La Gaseogne.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The Ciiriivrd Umbria, Captain Dutton, which sailed from Liverpool Feb. 2, reached quarantine at 11:42 yesterday morning. She brings no word of the La Gaseogne. Shortly after noon yesterday the monster ocean greyhound steamed past quarantine, her shrouds and part of her hull crusted in ice and glistening with myriads tf diamonds. Huge icicles hung from her shrouds both fore and aft. From the topmost edge of the bridge to the deck was ono mass of glittering ice, and the lifeboats, davits and taffrails were covered with it. Is was during the flub: spell of good weather

rrf^raawn*!!* f'fJr' JPW

on tile vessels voyage that she was'enabled to rescue 14 persons who went adrift in a water-logged helpless bark.

Speaking of the rescue, Captain DITP ton said: "We had a fairly good voyagt. after leaving Queenstown until st-ruck the blizzard outside the Hoofc Saturday. Of course the weather wa^ bad and we had heavy seas, but I have had far worse voyages. It was at 12:Li

a. m. .fa F»b. 6 that we pifiked up captain and craw of the French barfe Jeaa Baptists. It was about 11 o'clook ftt night when report wap made to me that a White Star line supposed to be tlie Cevic, had befen sighted. The captain t»f the Cevic is an old friend1, of mine and I had signals sent up to let him know who we were. "The signals we sent up were seen by the French bark which was over on oui starboard side about five miles away. It was not particularly cold, bur there wa* a snowstorm and a heavy westerly swell. The distressed crew was displaying red lights to show that the vessrf was out of control, and as we made toward her, three men went up into the mizzen rigging with torches. The bark was water-logged. A boat with live nieu. in command of Second Officer Hogg wa« lowered. When our boat reached tiindistressed vessel, the men found th .it the crew had launched two boats and were loading all of their effects. Captain Lebot and his son were the last to leave the Jean Baptiste. They came away in our boat. The rest of the crew came to us in their own boats and said they had brought all their personal effects with them."

The Jean Baptiste belonged at Havre, and was from .tiali:'' ix to Cork, laden with deals. Captain Lebot said he waf the sole owner of the bark and that sho was not insured. None of the crew can. speak English, and they will be cared for by the French consul in this city

Captain Dutton describes the rest of the voyage as follows: "After making the addition to our passenger list by taking on the Frenchmen, uui voyage was without particular incident until we encountered the rough blizzard and heavy seas outside the Hook Saturday afternoon. At 5 o'clock, during tht height of the storm and while passing the Georgia shoals, 200 miles east of Sandy Hook, we sighted a four-masted schooner at anchor, riding very heavily. She had a flag up and no sails set. Thematter was reported to me, but by that time we had lost sight of her through the snow and haze. I had the vessef put about and ran down close to her. She had nothing flying then, there wero men on deck and steam escaping from a donkey engine forward. We laid to half an hour waiting for some signal, but got none. "It was snowing, the weather wagcold and the sea too heavy to run the risk of lowering a boat to merely make an investigation when no distress signals were displayed. Just as we steamed away, they ran up a flu# again, We left them riding at anchor in a heavy sea in a very unusual place for a schooner of that character, right in the course of the ocean steamers. Then we came on to harbor and experienced the worst weather of the whole trip, getting most of the ice that is now on the decks from that time on, We had to come very slowly to avoid getting more thau we did and keep in working condition., as the spray was very heavy when we made good headway. We passed the lightship at 9:65 a. m., and reached, quarantine before noon.''

Captain Dutton was not worn out jr any means, but he had been constan fly awake and alert since 2:15 o'clock Saturday morniug. He had not heard

xr

the fact that the La Gaseogne was .so much overdue, and when asked for an. opinion a,s to her fate, said: "I think she has broken down somewhere and that she will probablj* turn up. Where she may be now would be the merest conjecture. I remember that about 12 years ago the City of Brussels broke down in midocean and made port with her sails. She sailed into Liverpool, and almost to her dock before sighted. She had, for '3Li days, sailed so without sighting a vessel that could help her or that was near enough to recognize her and report seeing her. There was one thing her lavor, too. that the La-. Gaseogne has not. The City of Brussels has four masts for sails, while since the La Gaseogne has been remodeled., she lias but two. She would have hard work making any headway with tlieiu. tho weather she must have eu-». countered.

SOME HOPE STILL EXISTS.

Tile La Gaseogne is a Staunch Vessel and. Over Nine Days Overdue.

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.—The French steamer La Gaseogne, so far as all sources of information go, has failed tuv reach harbor. Tho three steamers. which arrived at this port yesterday have seen or heard nothing of her. Butthe fact that vessels not nearly so staunch as the French liner have weathered the gales that have swept the Atlantic for the pa,st two weeks, has giveuheart and hope to those who can view the chance of the big steamer from an impartial standpoint.

La Gaseogne is now nine days overdue. She has faced many a furious gale in the years that she crossed the Atlantic, but- never was she so tardy in reachii port. On Oct. 2(1, 1891, she came into New York harbor, 920 souls'* on board, salt-encrusted to the top of.*,, her funnels. She was only 24 hours late, but for four days and nights she had been in the grip of a hurricane.

One day of such weather would have tested the staunchness of almost anything that floats, but La Gaseogne wore out four days and nights of it and reached New York practically uninjured. It is such experiences that have given the agents iu this eity confidence that their boat is still plowing the seas or safe in some out-of-the-way haven.
