4 Pathetic Incident

The Chicago Inter Ocean Of recent
date has the following:
ssd an s1e sOnsens fsrSaps
among the audience who were weeping
over tie fictitious woes Of the 1.-TWO Or.
phans" had any idea that one of the two,
while going bravely through her part to
the delight of the spectators, was over
whelmed with private sorrow, the source
of which lay near by that in the brief in
tervals between the scenes in which her
presence was required, this poor orphan
was rushing up to her room in the Sher-
man House to the bedside of her dying
mother that in. the last act, where the in
terest was just eliminating, that dear
mother was lying dead. Such incidents
now and then occur in the actual life of
the actor. and the circumstances and as
sociations seem to deepen the solemnity
of the occasion. In the present instance
it was peculiarly mournful.
At 10 o'clock last evening Mrs. True,
the mother of Mrs. Mckee Rankin miss
Kitty Blanchard) expired at the Sherman
House. Her death was not unlocked for,
although it had been expected that she
might survive the night. Her daughter,
who, as we all know, takes the part of one
of the orphans, was with her up to within
ten minutes of her death. The doctor told
her she might safely risk going back to
the theater, where she had to carry
through her act but he had miscalcu.
lated, and the mother expired soon after
her child had gone. The knowledge was
mercifully withheld from Mrs. Rankin till
after the curtain fell.
Mrs. True was lady yery highly es.
teemed by large circle Of friends. She
was native of Richmond, Va, and was
the wife of DR.. True, of Philadelphia. by
whom she had six children, Mrs. Mckee
Rankin being the only survivor. A few
days ago she underwent a painful opera
ton for dropsy, when it was found that
Eright's disease of the kidneys had also
developed, and yesterday all hope of hel
recovery was abandoned.
The deceased was 40 years of age when
she died. She was woman Ofgentle temper
and sound common sense, much beloved
by all who came within the circle in which
she moved, and regarded with a kind o.
filial affection by all the members of the
profession who were intimate with thu
family. They enjoyed her cheerful, sun
shiny nature, her shrewd practical sense
her mOtherly ways, her good
She was most devoted mother. Since
her daughters marriage with Mr.. Rankin
she has been their constant companion
and happier domestic circle could mo-
have been found.
Mr.. Rankin and his wife have the sym
pathy of their professional friends, anG
many non-professional friends, in theil
aff1iction.

leeilng when referring to the lamenred
trotter. He said Mr.. Goldsmith, Gloster,s
FIRST owner, had the ANIMALS tail han ginp
up In his sitting-r0om, and that Budd
aD0ble had egg cups and an inkstand made
out OF his hoofs, and uses them daily, and
another great admirer Of the animal had a
pair OF boots, and pair of shoes, and two
slippers made out Of his hide. Mr.. Sar-
,geant, whe drove Gloster. told how the
horse beat Goldsmith Maid at Chicago in
private, and how he was kept back at all
the races so that the Maid should not be
beaten in public. There is no doubt what
ever that If he had lived he would have
uotted a mile this season in 2:l3. All
agreed that he would have been the fastest
horse in the world.
ANOTHER case Of suffice lately occurred
in small village in Lucknow. India.
The following are the details of the case !:
Having bathed and dressed, the suffice

Hlndoos. who were in charge of the dead
BODY. Wood being scarce, the funeral
pile was In part constructed with other
fuel, which was heaped around the wom-
an as she sat with the head of her deceased
husband in her lap. The pile was then
covered with straw, her nephew handed
the suffice lighted torch, and in a mo-
ment the whole mass was on fire. The
ChoWkeydar and the policemen. when
they arrived, found only heap of ashes.
About thirty persons, including the village
headman and the woman's relatives. have
been committed to the Sessions on the
charge of having been directly or indirect
~ guilty Of murder.

DEATH IN THE BALL Roosr.--Miss Will

denly while dancing a. party in Boston on
Thursday evening LAST On that evening a
party of young ladies and gentlemen. number
ing about forty couple, held seeiable in
Pythian Hall, and were having merry time.
None were enjoying themselves more than
Miss Townsend. She had during the evening
danced several times, and while waltzing, af-
ter having passed around the hall few times,
she suddenly fell from the arms of her part
ner upon settee, corpse. AT first it was
supposed that she had only tainted. Medical
aid was summoned, but too late. Her father,
who was present, conveyed the body to his
home. The physicians pronounced it case

taken to the Police Station and placed upon a

There are altogether 800 applicants for

The news that comes from the Schuylkill
coal regions is of very melancholy charac-
ter. There is to be general and immediate
stoppage of the collieries, and it is indicated
that about fifteen thousand persons will be
thrown ont Of employment, with an almost
certain prospect of remaining idle until early
Spring. The reasons for this cession of coal
mining are obvious The furnaces are out of
blast, the roling-mills are idle, the factories
are doing nothing, and every industry which
proceeds by means of consumption OF coal is
laggard and wanting in even moderate activ-
ity With so many mines running, eyer-pro-
duction at such time is Inevitable, and the
accumulation of largo stock of coal must be
very rapid. The operators have to stop to pro-
tect themselves, and that the operatives suffer
is rather the fault of the dull times than Of
their employers. One very probable result of
this lockout will be an alarming prevalence
of crime throughout the Schuylkill region
Idle men and hungry men are troublesome
and dangerous neighbors.

Discovery has been made of extensive
swindles perpetrated on the pension bureau
by several firms of pension, claim agents in
Philadelphia. The FIRMS implicated are De-
witt & Co., Matthews, Fpulson s. Co., Schiyely
g. Co., and f. Register y Co. Suspicion was
aroused at the department BY the large num-
Der of applications for pensions from Illinois,
Indiana and other parts of the West that came
through these Philadelphia firms. A test in-
yestigation was made of twenty eight appli-
cations filled by Dewitt & Co., and it was
found that twenty-seven of the claimants had
never appeared before the clerk who certified
that he had sworn them, while eleven of the
twenty-eight could not be discovered at all.
The other firms were found to be engaged in
the same business. Itappears that these par
ties have been in tho habit of finding out the
names of persons slightly injured in the war
and entitled to pensions, bat who did not care
to apply, and making out papers in proper
form, have submitted them to the depart
meDt. These papers, being to all intents and
purposes correct, have been passed and the
parties placed ON the pension rolls. The de-
velopments are said to reveal a gigantic SWIM
die. Over twenty thousand cases have al
ready been suspended, and it is believed by
the officials at the Pension Bureau that at
least seven millions of the thirty millions of
dollars appropriated for pensions has been
stolen annually.

Hurricanes At 1856 MILES AN HOUR
WHAT THEY MEAN.--Mount Washington is a
fayorite place for summer jaunts because of
its grand views, and on account of its cool
and refreshing summer breezes, but in the
latter days of November = cool becomes
superlatively cold, and tho refreshing bree-
yes rage as violent hurricanes. On Monday
afternoon of last week, the wind on the sum
NIT of Mount Washington swept the noun
tain top at velocity of 1856 miles an hour,
and the thermometer marked "a degrees be-
low zero. A wind moving at the rate of 1G0
miles an hour is classed as violent hurri-
cane, and exerts a pressure of 40 pounds on
each square foot of surface pcrpendicularly
opposed to it. As the pressure varies with
the square of the velocity the pressure during
the hurricane on Monday last must have been
ll9 pounds to the square foot. Appleton's
Encyclopaedia states that it has been contend
have been momentariy attained in some
actually observed have on the British coast
attained a velocity of 1870 miles an hour. The
observed velocity at Mount Washington on
Monday afternoon, the despatch tells us, was
the greatest recorded since the establishment
of the station, and the observers must have
trembled for the safety of their little house,
chained, though it is, to the immovable rocks
An outside stretch of wall or weather board
ing, 35 feet long by 10 feet high, would have
been subjected to a force of Al, $50 pounds,
and the surface of a mans body presenting an
average superficies of five square feet to the
windward would have been struck by pres
sure of sos pounds.

In regard to the sale of the Philadelphia
navy yard, last Thursday, there is no doubt
that the Pennsylvania Railroad Company was
the purchaser. The price obtained, $1,000
900, is considered quite good one, and it
must all be paid in thirty days. The Bahi
more & Ohio Railroad, it is said, was willing
to give 100000. The Pennsylvania Com
pany have as yet no definite plan for the use
of the new property, further than that they
intend to use it as the site for grand depot,
where alf their vast freight business in that
city will be concentrated. The depot at
Walnut street and Delaware Avenue is large
one, but not extensive enough fully to accom-
modate the business. When the projected
depot is finished, with complete water and
railroad facilities, it is thought that the depot
on Market street and the one on Delaware
Avenue will be abolished.

proposition has been submitted to Phila-
delphia councils by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company endorsed by the Survey and
Highway Departments, proporing to build a
wooden bridge over the Schuylkll at Market
street on the old piers, of the Howe truss pat
tern, in thirty days, that will last five years
or until the city is ready to build apermanent
one, for sos, 900, to allow ample space for the
the railway tracks, both freight and horse cars,
as well as carriages and footways. This is
the amount of the insurance ON the bridge,
so that the work will cost the city nothing.
A general sense of relief is felt by the public
over this proposition, as 1t was feared that
the rebuilding Of the bridge would be terribly
expensive. The Company says that a perman-
ent bridge could not be built in time for the
Centennial. But the Company is accustomed
to bridge building at short notice and can
easily make creditable job of this.
