An Inquest was held yesterday in New YORK

making a fire, took can of Kerosene and poured
it upon the Goals, to make them burn more
quickly. The fire communicated to the can,
which instantly exploded, scattering the burn

A YOUNG CANNIBAL.

II has become quite a popular amusement re-
Gently among vicious children to abuse their
parents and inhict upon them personal ehastise-
mentfor supposed injuries received Rarely
day passes that some outrage of this character
is not brought under the notice of the police,
but, strange to say, in most cases parental love
triumphs in the end and the transgressors
escape. The latest case of this kind
reported occurred in New York recently,
and for heartlessness and devilish malignity has
few parallels. 1t appears, from the investiga-
tions of the police, that young reprobate, aged
nineteen years named Peter Hartt who resides
at No. 517 Ninth avenue, with his parents, came
home in a beastly state of intoxication. His
father, Martin Hart, reproved him for his dis
solute habits, and endeavored to point out to
him the folies of associating with vicious
young men, when Peter became highly en-
ragged. Ali the efforts of the father to
quiet him were unavailing. With fearful i'm
precautions, he hurled himself upon the old
man and pulled him down 20 the floor, where
deadly tussle followed for some moments. The
old man finally overcame his sons muscular
struggles and held him in an iron grasp. Summon
ing all his latent strength, the youth, crazed with
rage, pulled his parents head down to his,
seized his lower lip between his teeth, glared
fiercely upon Hartt, Sr., and with a sudden and
quick movement rolled him off him. still clinging
to the lip. The result was that the flesh, from
the mouth down to the chin, was completely
stripped to the bone, presenting frightful ap-
pearance. Officer Durie, who was called in by
one of the family, arrived in time to separate
the men and witness the young Hartt spit
out the bleeding flesh torn from his parents
face He arrested him and locked him up In the
Twenty-fifth street station house for the night.
The young cannibal offered no excuse for his
brutality, and seemed only to regret that he had
not Inflicted more serious injuries on the ''old
man." At seven o'clock in the morning the old
man declined to go to court, and forgave his
brutal son, who was consequently discharged
Surgeon Smith, who attended the elder Hartt
states that he will carry the marks of his childs
brutality to his grave.

AN APPALLING DESCENT.
A Sailor Falls One Hundred Feet


About 10 o'clock yesterday, says the San Fran
cisco Bulletin of the 31st ult., as reporter for
this paper was rambling along the wharves,
viewing the shipping, man-traps, and other OBJ
jects of interest, his attention was called to
barque lying at India Dock. sailor belonging
to the barque Anne Main was engaged in reev-
ing yard-rope at the main top-gallant mast
head, and as he appeared to experience some
difficulty in performing the work, n number of
longshoremen and others were watching his
maneuvres with considerable interest. The ac-
ton of the waves caused the vessel to rock a
little, not enough to startle any sea-faring man,
however, or cause any hesitation on his part to
go aloft, and 1t was noticed that the man moved
around very cautiously. He had nearly sue
ceeded Ia accomplishing his task, when the yes
sci gave an extra severe lHrch; he lost his foot
Immediately on leaving the head of the mast, his
body assumed q horizontal position, and,
striking the mainyard below, he turned COM
plete summersault in the air, and terminated his
terrible fall on pile of dunnage near the main
hatch. The spectators in the vicinity, who had
watched his course with bated breath, now
rushed to his rescue, and found him still alive,
though suffering the most intense agony, His
right side, from shoulder 10 knee, was badly
bruised, the thigh broken, and he gave evidence
of severe internal injuries 1t is barely possible
that he will recover, but those who witnessed his
frightful fall, who saw him clutch for the ropes
while going through the air, finally receiving
such a terrible check, would deem such result
miraculous. Upon subsequent inquiry we ascer-
tanned that the man bore the name of Tiercy,
was thirty years of age, and he came on board
the vessel Anne Main, and shipped as a seaman
this morning. He was removed to the City and
County Hospital by order of the captain of the
bark who did everything in his power to ale
yiate his sufferings.

A shower of n1etcoric stones and Lunar
Citizen-The Cardiff Giant Quilted.
The Charlottesville Ond.) Journal is respon-
sible for the following
We are informed that on New Years day there
was Gravel Road meeting at the old Gilkey
Saw Mill in this county. AT about o'clock 2.
M. the meeting was broken up by sharp, deto-
mating noises like cannon, on the bluff south of
the mill. Proceeding to the spot, the crowd
found many holes in the ground, which emitted
smoke and steam. On investigation it was
found that each hole was the receptacle of a
stone ranging from pound to ten pounds in
weight They were very hot, of volcanic forma-
ton, and were evidently meteoric, and had just
descended to the earth.
While expressing their astonlshment the men
assembled were terror-stricken by q strange, I'M
earthly noise, like the ricocheting of shell, and
struck the ground not twenty yards distant; and
steam equal to that of a steam engine. The hole
was some six feet in length, by two in BREADTH
and the falling body had penetrated the earth
some four or five feet to the solid rock. r
But now comes the strangest part of the story
and but for the reliability of our many inform
ants, would be looked upon by us as the inven-
ton of some modern Baron Munchatisen. The
stone, on being eXcavated, was found to have
the human form divine 1t resembles common
meteoric stones in its formation, but has the
perfect form of full-grown man. The fea-
lures, fnger-nails, and hair, all perfect. The
legs are straight and arms folded on the breast
1t measures feet 101G inches in length. Seve-
raj scientific men have already examined it, but
what puzzles the most astute of them is its hay
ing the human form

ILLINOIS DIVORCES.
WinterIug the Old Woman-A Romance In
Chicago Real Life.

4 An elderly, serious-looking individual, well
protected from the inclemency of the weather
by sundry layers of overcoats and comforters
recently entered the Office of the clerk of the
Supreme Court in Chicago in a methodical man
ner and after spending about ten minutes in
nnwrapping himself to a sufficient degree to be
\ able to articulate, expended about the same
period of time in slowly looking around him.
After carefully investigating the surroundings
of the highly ornamented Office the old gentle
mans eye rested upon the bland features of one
OF the most lgentlemanly and benevolent of
living deputy clerks.
Leaning towards him, he seriously enunciated
the important monosyllable, "Cap!"
The parsonage thus ad1ressed inquired for
further particulars.
"Oap," repeated the stranger, ''are you given
70 unhitehing folks here? Do you divorce a
little ?"
The reply to this interrogatory was of some
what affirmatory character, whereupon the
questioner stated his grievance, after reluctantly
admitting that his wife had not deserted him
neither had she been guilty of adultery, cruelty
drunkenness or any of the other little eccen-
tricities for which, the law allows dissolution
''The old woman, Cap" quoth he. don't get
along well with me. She jaws me fearful, and

anybody finding it out for a spell ?"
my friend, responded the official, suavely
and kindly, ''see ye yonder desk?"
The stranger responded in the affirmative.
"If you come here in about one hour, you
will see three young men whose natural ferocity
is depicted on their countenance sitting there
together. In moment they will hear that
suit for divorce has been commenced. They
will rush for the papers, viii brutally assault
each other for the first chance 10 scan their CON
tents, and then they will write for four hours
apiece. They are newspaper men, and will
write you up for publication. They are proba-
bly, now in the next room, doing the same thing
for somebody else. They win write an article
about you with thirteen head lines. They win
print all you know about yourself, and all that
any one else knows, and great deal that no
one knows. 1t may, of course, do you good,

that all true?"
1T is true, all of it, and less than the truth.

to the gold market where dealings were OF an
cited and feversh character. The clique programme
for an advance being seriously iRterfered with by
the extra sale OF Government gold, an ingenious
plan was devised to do away with its Injurious iniu-
ence upon the bull movement. When the bids for
the 670 900 at the SubTreasury came to be opened,
it was found that there were as many as

situation OF the gold market &C present, and 1t pro-

the victims OF the great gold smash are among the
most eager to retrieve their losses.
