suddenly left for parts unknown, he was
lying in that city dangerously sick with
an attack of asthma, similar to that OF
which Mr.. Thomas recently died, and at
one time his friends had despaired of his
recovery. In his afiiiction Mr.. Gar
fielde and his family have the sympathy
of all right minded people.

Z. The admission of incompetent
testimony for the successful party, tho
excepted to at the time by the adverse
party, does not necessarily entitle the
latter to a reversal of the judgment. If
the whole testimony in such case be
placed on the record, and it appear to
the reviewing Court that the rejection of
the incompetent testimony could not
have changed the result of the trial, the
error can not be considered as prejudi-
cial TO the party excepting.
Judgment affirmed.

Roasted Alive.

The San Francisco Chronicle relates
the particulars of horrible accident
that occurred while some Workmen
were undertaking to make a connection
of gas pipes. At $50 p. m. Hassard
the foreman, together with Cusack and
Mahoney, got down in the hoe, and set
to work to make the connection. A
lamp or candle was left standing on the
bank. and when the cap was removed
from the pipe, a full head of gas rushed
out and was instantaneously ignited by
the candle on the bank. A loud ex-
plosion followed, and the hole was at
once converted into pit Of fire. Has
sard and Mahoney scrambled out of tn e
hole, and escaped with few burns. A
crowd Immediately gathered, and were
busted with the two men, when some
one cried out, MY Godl there's a man
in the hole yet" And a cry of horror
went up from the crowd as the fact was
verified. A gust of wind blew the flame
aside, and revealed poor Cusack stand
ing in the hole, facing toward Market
street. HIS hands were uplifted above
his head, and waving wildly in his
agony. One of the bystanders, Mr..
DeldHey, spfduS FORWARD, ana catCnlng
the unfortunate man by his hands, en-
deavored to drag him from the terrible
flaming pit, but the charred flesh
cracked from the bones, and, sickened
and almost fainting with horror, De-
laney saw the victim slip from his grasp
and fall back into the flames. Almost
crazed by the appalling event, some of
those present grasped shovels and
began throwing sand into the hole,
hoping to smother the fiery torrent that
was rushing from the pipe, and forget
ting that they would inevitably smother
the man before their object could be
accomplished. Delaney made another
attempt to drag Cusack out, and this
time, aided by others, the effort was
successful. A frightful sight was pre-
sented when the flames which wrapped
the poor man were extinguished. His
features were charred out of all resem-
blance to human face, his nose and
lips being literally burned off. He was
laid on the sidewalk, breathing, but in.
sensible, not even uttering a groan
Mr.. Delaney was severely burned about
the hands.

Fenfans from Canadian Dungeons-TE e
Fate of Thomas COOney.
From the New York Star Ju1v %

From the New York Star July %.
a Star reporter had the pleasure, last
evening, of conversing with Mr.. Michael
Crowley, as brave a little Irishman as
ever crossed the ocean. and who, a short
time ago. was liberated from the King
ston, Canada, penitentiary. Mr.. Crow
ley was IN Boston when, i'll 1866. the
forces for the invasion of Canada were
organized, and went to the front with
the Third Massachusetts, Fenian regi
ment, he being member of | com
pany, Capt. Mention. Crowley was
taken prisoner at Ridgeway, and after
lying IN prison for seven months, was
tried and sentenced TO be hanged.
This sentence was, however, afterward
committed to Imprisonment in the
Kingston penitentiary for twenty years.
The efforts of Col. Roberts, M. c., to
secure the release of the Fenian pris-
onerS In Canada is we'll known. On the
9Th OF March last the prison doors were
opened, and Crowley, together with
twenty-fv other good and true Irish
men, were set free. Crowley, who was
nearly SIX years in the prison, speaks in
the most bitter terms of the treatment
while there. Once he was given dozen
lashes on the bare back for a fancied
otfense, and then thrown into a dark
dungeon for a period of five days and
nights, where he was fed on bread and
water. During his sojourn in the prison
he was assigned to the most laborious
tasks, and such was the nature of the
work imposed upon him his health gave
way.
He says he was not the only one of
the Fenian prisoners logged by the
heartless officials of Kingston, and
states that one of his companions in
arms, poor Thomas Cooney, is now con-
lined IN the lunatic asylum in King
ston, a raving maniac, he having lost
his reason through the inhuman con-
duct of the prison officials. He thinks
the Scotch ex-warden, Mcdonald, the
vllest wretch alive, but speaks well of
the present warden, John Creighton.
Alter his liberation Mr.. Crowley re-
turned to Boston, where until very
recently he has been lying dangerously
i'll. He has just arrived in this city on
visit to his sister. Yesterday he was
introduced to Col. Roberts by Capt.
Scully, an intimate friend. Col. Rob
erts, with his usual display of generosi-
ty, put his hand in his pocket and gave
Mr.. Crowley check for $50. Capt.
Scully also gave him S25. 1t is under
stood that committee of three is to be
appointed for the purpose of collecting
additional sums for the brave soldier.

Vicissitudes of Breeding.

The unexpected success of any race
horse in his generation, has always the
effect of raising the prestige OF his pa
rents, however "unfashionably bred"
he may be, according to received ideas.
The victories of Favonius and Cremorne
have caused run upon Parmesan, who,
though a neat little slayer, was in him
self never the class of Derby winner.
Lady Elizapeth's brilliant two-year-old
career caused a similar run upon
Trumpeter, who now proves compare
tive failure. Kangaroo's brief flash in
the pan caused his dam Yarra Yarra to
be unearthed from servitude, to become
a distinguished stud matron. Looking
back to far earlier years, we read in
"Smith's Breeding of the Turf" that
Marsh, sire of Eclipse (who was foaled
in 1904, was sold at the sale of the
Duke of Cumberland's stud for a mere
trifie, and was suffered to run almost
wild i'll the New Forest. He was after
wards purchased for 1000 guineas, and
before his death covered 100 guineas.
Squirt, his sire, when the property, of
Sir Harry Harpen, was ordered to be
shot, and while he was actually on his
way to the dog kennel was spared at the
intercession of one of SIR Harry's
grooms.-Land and Water.

Collapse of the New York Labor
Strikes.

The great New York labor movement
has faded tway entirely, and scarcely a
dozen men remain on strike. No fur
Their organized effort will be made. The
movement, of course, has been very dis
astrous. Nine weeks of idleness made
the return TO labor very onerous, and
the accumulated household debts of that
period stare the impoverished work
men in the face. None of the leaders
or prominent movers in the strike are
now able to obtain work, and great dis
tress is the result. In all the metal
trades and among the many branch
of wood working, except carpenter
work, the men are working ten hours
day, and those who have obtained
the concession of eight hours, labor on
a very insecure basis. The piano-mak
ers, coach. makers, and upholsters all
returned to work on the old basis of
time and wages. The carpenters, who
are working eight hours, support the
many who cannot find employment at
the terms their union dictates.

How to Fatten Horses.

Many good horses devour large guam
titles of grain and hay, and still con-
tinue thin and poor-the food eaten is
not properly assimilated. If the usual
feed has been unground grain and hay,
nothing but change will effect any de-
sirable alteration in the appearance of
the animal. In case oil meal cannot be
obtained readily, mingle a bushel of
flax seed with bushel of barley, one
of oats, and another of Indian corn, and
let it be ground into a. fine meal. This
will be fair proportion for all his
feed. Or meal of the barley, oats and
corn in equal quantities may first be pro-
cured, and one-fourth part of oil cake
mingled with it when the meal is
sprinkled on cut feed. Feed two or
three quarts of the mixture two or
three times daily, mingled with peck
of cut hay or straw. If the horse will
eat that greedily, let the quantity be
gradually increased until he will eat
four or six quarts at every feeding three
times day. But avoid the practice of
allowing the horse to stand at rack
well filled with hay. In order to fatten
horse that has run down in flesh, the
groom should be very particular to feed
the animal no more than he will eat up
clean, and then lick his manger for
mora

A resident of York county, Pa, who
was the possessor of a competency sufi-
Gent to support himself and family du-
ring their natural lives, became pos
sessed of the idea that they were all
coming to want and would die of star
walton. This hallucination took such
firm hold upon his mind that no per
suasion on the part of his friends were
sufficient to divest him of it. Day after
day it grew stronger for years. His
greatest anxiety seemed to be for his
family, and he determined, in order to
save Them, he would be compelled to
starve himself. This he carried into
execution, and recently became a victim
of this all-absorbing and fatal illusion
of his life, and death occurred from
actual starvation, voluntarily and per-
sistently imposed upon himself. For
several days he refused all sustenance,
and although efforts were made to
force food into his mouth, his strength
commenced to decline, and soon after
he died in starving condition. His
dying words few minutes before his
death were, ~ knew would starve."

Prussia,s Terms After Sedan.

M. Theirs, after his famous interviews
with Prince Bismarck before the close
of the war, is reported to have stated
that after Sedan the sole desire of Prus-
STA was to make peace, and that she
would have been satisfied with two mil
lizards of an indemnity and the dis
mantling of the fortresses of the eastern
frontier. This has been the cause of
much controversy not in France only,
but also in England; but hitherto there
has been no proof of its authority. The
Eclair now publishes letter purporting
to have been written by Prince Bis
marck to his wife the day after the
battle of Sedan, which completely con-
firms the accuracy of what NJ. Theirs
said. After announcing that France
was now at the mercy of Prussia, the
Prince writes: My end, SO obstinately
and so patiently pursued, is attained
nothing remains but to demand from
France-what she cannot refuse-two
milliards and the dismantling of a
number of fortresses which 1 shall de.
eide upon"

The History of a Debt.

About fifteen years ago there resided
in the south part of st. Louis, man by
the name of John II. Ritter, who car
ried on the business of timer. Be-
coming pecuniarily involved he borrow
ed, about that period, of friend, John
P. Mack, druggist vino was his bust
ness neighbor, S475. In short time,
and before he could return the money,
Ritter failed and fed, no one knew
whittier. Years elapsed, and no word
or lntimatlon of him was received. In
the meantime Mack, the lender, died,
and with him probably all knowledge of
the debt. But about April last, Mr..
Conrad Fatb, of the firm OF Gissie,
Ewald d Co., who was the administrator
OF Macks estate, saw advertised
a letter addressed to Mr.. John P.
Mack, and by the authority which his
position gave him, he took it out and
read it. The letter was dated at Hiogo,
Japan, and bore the subscription of
John II. Ritter, and asking Tor the ad-
dress of John Mack. Mr.. Faith wrote in
reply that Mack was deceased, but that
he was the administrator of his estate,
and day or two since he received, to
his surprise and qualification, another
Eote containing a draft on account Of
Ritter and in favor of Mack, from the
Oriental Bank Corporation, Hiogo
Japan, dated June 3, and drawn on
Messrs. R. Bell and G. F. Smithers
agents at New York for the Bank OF
Montreal, for 1894 in American gold
which amount comprehended the orig
lnaI loan and interest at compound
rate.-.S. Louis Republicans.

American Ladies in Paris-EtiQuette
of the Streets.

The following from the Paris CORE
spondence of the Baltimore american,
gives one pleasant idea of the street
manners of the "most polite city in the
world -
American ladies visiting Paris are
apt to be much annoyed until they learn
the etiquette of the streets. They are
liable to compromise themselves if they
go alone upon the thoroughfares with
out the observance of certain rules which
time has rendered fixed and immutable.
In the first place, a respectable young
lady in Paris never appears on the
streets in anything but black dress,
unless when with a male escort or an
aged duenna. If in a white or light
dress her character is liable to be mis-
taken, especially if she should be young
or interesting. Then if she is without
escort she must, to maintain her char
acter, push straight forward, without
looking to the right or to the left. If
she should stop to look in at the fine
displays in the store windows, for which
Paris is so famous, she must not be sur
prised if some of the young men who
lounge around the cafes walk up to her,
versation. 1t is the practice of the
denaimonde to thus stop when a gentle
man is approaching whose attention
they desire to attract, and the mascu-
line of loose morals choose to regard
any one who may stop t look at the
gorgeous array of diamonds in a window
as having invited their attention.
$50 also in riding. A lady seated
alone in carriage, either on the street
or in the Bots de Boulogne, is regarded
as reserving the seat beside her for any
chance gentleman whom she may at
tract. Thus ladies who have not male
escort either take their servants with
them when they ride, or borrow a neigh
boris child, if they have none of their
own. To ride alone, would be to invite
insult or offensive attention.
"The same is the rule in London,
and almost throughout Europe. The
fact is that the more respectable classes
seldom walk on the street. In London
you never see what we would call at
home well dressed lady. Those who
seem, and undoubtedly are, reputable,
are arrayed in plain suits of black, evil
IDENTITY intending and desiring to shun
rather than court observation. A finely
dressed female in London is invariably
regarded as woman of loose character
if she has no escort with her, and even
then she must carry very demure face,
and her escort must not put on any
foppish airs if he does not desire to
compromise the character of his COM
panion. But black dress and a fast
walk, as if in great hurry, is the only
thing that will insure for lady alone
in the street entire freedom from i'm
proper attentions or insult. The only
finely dressed females on the street
anywhere in Europe are those of bad
character.
