AN lNcIDENT.-Th New York Tribune tells
the following incident as an illustration Of
the confusion which reigned on board the
steamer Empire State after the explosion:
A lady was asleep in her state room, and
ner little boy was below in the ladies cabin
with the servant. She was in the greatest
alarm for his safety but so weak from excite
ment that she could not go below to look for
her child. The pilot went below and found
the little fellow uninjured, but so blackened
and begtimmed by coal dust that his mother
could not recognize him as her child, and it
was only alter considerable persuasion, and the
httie one himself had begun to cry, that she
reelizea he was safe Her transports at his
safety may be imagined.

"We spend our income for paint and paper,
for hundred trihes, know not what, and
not for the things of man. 1t is for cake that
we run in debt; tbs not the intellect, net the

much. We dare not trust our wit for making
our house pleasant to friend, and so we buy

FATAL REsULr.-John Sylvester Gardner,
a graduate of Harvard College, of the class Of
1852, died in this city on the 25th, from in
juries received in fracas that occurred some
weeks ago in saloon in fremont street,
where the deceased and one of the "chivalry''
were terribly hurt by tailor of this city,
whom it is reported they first assailed At
the time the fracas took place, it was re-
ported that the interference of the police saved
the law student from death on the spot. We
have not heard that any arrests have been
made, and if the current reports are true, the
mechanic acted on the defensive Boston
Iranscript.

FIDELITY TO DUrY.-Mr. L, l.. Berry, bag
gage-master of the Fall River train, who was
on board the Empire State when the late &C
cident occurred, informs us that he had lust
been speaking to the third engineer, Ezra
Williamson, at the door Of the engine room,
when the explosion took place. Mr.. Berry
sprang forward and escaped injury, but Mr..
W., obeying dictate of duty, stopped the
engine before he left the room, and then ran
upon the deck. Berry followed him, and
raised him up when he fell, and the first
words he spoke after the accident, and almost
the last he ever articulated, were-"did l
stop the engine y The poor fellow fell
victim to his sense of duty, and but for his
fidelity and devotion, the boat would have
been disabled so as to render her return to
Fall River impossible. Mr.. Williamson was
favorite with the officers and crew of the
steamer, and was considered, as he proved
at the expense Of his life, faithful and capa-
Bile engineer.

A REPTILE YEAR IN A CHILD's STOMACH.
Yesterday afternoon little girl three and
half years old, was relieved of worm which
by some means unknown, had found its way
in her stomach. The parents of the child had
been unable to ascertain the cause of distress
that she had felt and the cessation of her
growth. For year past not an inch has been
added TO her stature. Yesterday morning she
was induced to swallow quantity of vinegar,
and large worm at once was thrown off her
stomach, eyincing the utmost liveliness. 1t
was some two and half or three inches long
nearly an inch around, and of greenish gray
color. Probably The reptile had been swal-
lowed when small, in water drank by the
child. The incident should induce caution.
Never allow child to drink in the dark, or
without first examining the water. The worm
was taken by the mother to a physician in
whose charge it was given Rochester, On.

ARRIsoN THE INTERNAL MACHINE MAN.
VIM. Arrison, of Cincinnati, spent months in
making an internal machine He guarded
every step of his progress in the work with
the most scrupulous care. His malace was as
cool as it was diabolical. When his machine
was done, he sent it by child to Mr.. Allison,
steward of the Cincinnati Hospital. against
whom he had bitter grudge Allison opened
it in the presence of his wife, WHEREBY pom it
exploded, killing them both and tearing the
house nearly to pieces.
Arrson fled, but was caught and taken
back to Cincinnati. His third trial has Just
closed. The jury found him guilty of-man-
slaughter! They did not affect to entertain a
doubt Of the facts as we have stated them, but
decided the act he was guilty of was not
murder. more infamous, monstrous, and
accursed verdict was never rendered on earth.
1t must shock the moral sense and the common
sense of all mankind. If the Cincinnati edi-
tors have enything more to say about "Ken.
lucky Juries,' we should like to hear it,

MAN KILLED by HIS OWN CoFFIN.-On
Saturday night last, man who resided in
Twenty nnth street, was killed in d most
singular manner. The following are the pc
cuiar circumstances, iar as our reporter has
been able to learn them-for, in consequence
of the opinion entertained concerning his rel
atives by the deceased, who was a man of
considerable wealth and respectability, they
have made great efforts to keep the particulars
from the public ear. 1t appears that nearly
year ago, the deceased, who was ffty-three
years of age, became strongly impressed with
ar idea that when he should die the parsimo-
NOUS disposition of his relatives would lead
them to put him in cheap coffin, while he
had strong desire to be buried IN one of mol
lshed rosewood, lined with white satin and
trimmed with silver. Soon after this strange
idea got possession of his mind, he discovered
an elegant coffin in one of the principal ware.
houses, which suited him. He purchased it
Tor $40, had it sent to his residence at night
fall, and slowed it away in small closet ad-
Joining his bedroom, where it remained until
the time OF the accident.
How 1t occurred is not known to certain
" LOT the first intimation the family had of
the lamentable occurrence was from servant,
VINO, on going to call him to breakfast, found
the door wide open and the deceased living on
the floor dead, with his coffin at his side. She
screamed which soon brought the family, and
on raising the body the skull was found crush.
ed in upon the brain. He was found about
o'clock, yesterday morning, when, to all APP
pearance, he had been dead several hours
On examining the closet, bottle containing
quantity of sherry wine was found, and as
Saturday night was excessively warm, he is
supposed to have gone to the closet in order to
procure the wine TO use with some ice water
he had on a small table by his bedside. 1t is
thought that he must have sought for it in the
dark, and by some mistake upset the coffin,
which stood nearly upright. Becoming sensi-
BILE that it was falling, he probably made an
effort to get away, when he fell, and the outer
end struck his head with sufficient force to
fracture his skull and cause almost immediate
desth. The inquest will re held with all pos
sible secrecy.--N. Y. Tribune, july %.

A Curious CLAIM.-Mr. Sam'l w. Cham
bers, of Boone County, Kentucky, is now in
this city for the purpose of prosecuting heavy
claim for real estate. The estate is valued at
over $20,000,000. 1t consists of 20 acres OF
land i'll one of the best parts Of the city. 1t
was granted to his great grandfather by VIM.
Penn, in 1899. The deed was in possession
of an ancestor at Chester, when that town
was taken by the British, and carried to the
State archives for safety, and is now in Har-
risburg.
Mr.. Chambers seems to have worked at the
case with rare fidelity for mary years. His
great difficulty has been to establish his an
cestry by documentary evidence. In this he
has finally succeeded. He is now in possess
sion of the marriage certificate of his great
great-g grandfather, and also Of those of every
one of the descendants, down to that OF his
father. The certificate of 1899 is one drawn
in the style peculiar to the Quakers Of those
days. A copy of it is in his possession, which
is written in bible bearing date 1851. This
bible was printed 'by Robert Parker, printer
to the kings most excellent majesty"
The Chambers family removed from Philar
del pnia to Delaware, where many of them
now reside. Samuel Chambers is duly au-
thorized to prosecute the claim for all the de-
scendants. He has employed John w. Ste
venson, an eminent lawyer Of Covington, KY,
to supervise the business, and consulted very
eminent counsel here. There seems to be
very curious provision in the deed from VIM:
Penn, which, taken in connection with still
mere curious statute of our Slate, passed
during the Revolution, in regard to proprie-
tary rights, prevents the statute of limitations
from running against it, Mr.. Chambers de-
signs to prosecute for its recovery.-Phila-
deipbja Times.

For the Spy
PRAYER OF TIE SLAVE.

Brothers, DER your fvtters weeping,
Meath the dark palmetto trees,
Hear ye not tht5 normur sweeping
Fainty down the Northern brsezes
IT'S the shout Of lad gnation
Lifted from a million tongues,
Calling on Christian nation
To redress the Negroes wrongs.
Long ago heard that murmur,
Faint at first, and full Of fear;
fear by year has made it firmer,
Lading it with lofty cheer.
Brothers, in this night of sorrow
We shall not forever be;
There viii be bright tomorrow.
When the negro shall be free.
Earnest hearts are sympathIzing
with the suffsrings OE the slave;
Earnest thinkers are devising
For the liberty we crave.
Fmeside prayers our cause are pleading;
Fearless pulpits for us fight;
And the press is interceding,
ana the statesmen, for our right.
Sure as there is right in heaven,
Sure as there is might in men.
Shall these CALLING bonds be riven.
And these souls be ours again.
o, may righteous God be willing
This poor frame shall see that day,
Feeling freedoms glorious thrilling
Once, before it turns to clay
Northern freemen, our salvation
On your perseverance rests;
Haste, oh haste the confirmation
vi the hopes which fill our breasts
On your triumphs past relying,
Think not that the work is through;
Slavery may indeed be dying,
But the slave is dying too.
Lay aside the strife of faction;
Subtle questions cease to con;
With each moment of inaction
Slavery's hellish work goes on.
Statesman, while you stand contending
Who your NOV ments shall cohtrUl,
Whips are on the back descending,
Hells are crushing out the soul.
Ruler, while you stand sustaining
Institutions of the land,
Deeds they sanction are profaning
Those set up by Heavens command.
Patriot, while you shout in thunder
Rend parchment not in twain,
Hearts are being torn asunder,
Calling for your aid in vain.
Scholar, while you stop for thinking,
Are We fitted to be free!
Lower still our souls are sinking,
TrAmped down by tyranny.
Christian, while you stand disputing
Tween the laws of man and God,
Lust and ayarice are imhruting
Victims Of your human code.
Preacher, while you stand dilating
On the horrid scenes Of war,
Murder you are toleraling
Such as battle-felds abhor
Come, then, we whose hearts are yearning
To restore the Negroes right,
Every idle question spurning,
In the work at once uuite.
Haste the day of our salvation;
Stop the wrongs with which We smart;
Lit the shout OF tx Grafton,
ILL 1t pierce the Latlol's heart.
Let us live no longer hoping;
Lei u die no more unbltst;
With our proud oppressors coping,
Let US have the promised rest.
Give the millions who are Keeling
Underneath TIL CURSE of slaves
Give them freedDm's glorious thrilling,
Once before they chill in graves.
