Strange Funeral OF n Woman who
Drowned Her Children and
Herself.

READING, Pa, Aug. 21.-Thcre was
Mrs. Bcssinger and her three children,
drowned on Tuesday last. 1t seems from
the stories Of people that the woman had
lived unhappi]y with her husband, owing
to the introduction by him of another
woman into the house, and that this un-
happiness resulted in quarrel on Mon
day, when the husband ordered his wife
to leave the house and to taketwo Of the
girls with her, while he would retain the
boy. The next day she went 10 the canal
with her children, and after filing basket
with stones, in which operation the child
rem assisted, she bound the basket secure
ly to her body, and taking the three child
rem in her arms lcaped into the canal, and
all were drowned. AS soon as the bodies
we're recovered and taken to their former
home, the police had to guard the house
to save the husband from assault, and at
the funeral procession today, which IN.
cluded about 1000 people on foot who
surrounded his carriage, and when the
bodies were lowered into the grave the
people hooted at Bessinger and made a
rush for him. In the confusion one shot
was fred, when the police hurridly plac.
ed him in a'carriage and drove of, receiv
ing in the passing of the cemetary gates
another shot, which it is thought, wound
him, as he was carried into the house
The police are still on guard, and the
people, including the women, continue
their threats.

Fatal Accident.

A man named VIM. Turner employed in
Farnham s. Lovcjoy's mill, received an
injury at about II p. m. on Friday, from
the effects of which he died at p. m. yes
to-day. Turner had charge Of the circu
lar saw known as the "cdger," and was
running plank through when the saw
pinched, and to relieve it he pulled the
cord which raises the "press roller" stand
ing directly behind the plank as he did
go The moment the press roller was ia
ken off, the rapidly revolving saw threw
the plank back with frightful force, strik-
ing the unfortunate man in the stomach,
and inflicting internal injuries from, which
he died as above stated. Deceased was a
resident OF Anoka, and leaves a wife and
one child. Immediately after the acct
dent a messenger was dispatched for bis
wife, and the poor woman reached the
bedside of her dying husband at an carly
hour yesterday morning. He was consci-
Gus to the last, and felt from the first mo-
nent that he could not liye.
He had been in the employ of Mcssrs
Farnham & Lovejoy but two or three
weeks, but had been engaged in the ST.
Paul lumber company's mill, at Anoka
until it ceased Operations recently. His
remains will be taken to Anoka to-day

WitEhcraft In Gloucester.

A writer in Harper's Magazine says:
In 1902, about the time Of the Salem.trag.
edy, Bcclzebub, with legion of evil
spirits, was reported to be marching on
Gloucester. 1t was ascertained that men
were seen at various times in the neigh
borhood ofthe town resembling French
men; they were repeatedly pursued, sur
rounded, and fred upon, and occasionally
fell as if hit, but st arted up again and fed
into the bush, leaving no footprint on
the soil, and making no audible sound.
These occurrences became so frequent and
alarming as to shake the doughty souls
Of the men of Gloucester, insomuch that
they garrisoncd their fort for some weeks,
and kept constantly on the alert against
the powers Of darkness, peppering away
at them occasionally with what seems to
have been an Intellectual waste Of powder
and ball. But 80 real and universal was
the panic that reinforcement Of sixty
valiant rnen was actually sent from 1ps-
wich to assist in the defense Of the place
against its imaginary foes. Finding the
town too vigilantly guarded to be carried
either by coup de main or siege, his Plu-
tonian excellency brought off his forces
in good order, and, calling up his reserves
made combined, more insidious, and
decisive attack on the Puritan settlements
which well-nigh succeed at Salem.

A Submarine city.

A Kingston, Jamaica, correspondent of
the Buffalo Courier says: "In the latter
end of the last century old Port Royal dis
beneath the waves in an earth
quake, leaving no other memorial behind
than these few patches Of reefs. In calm
clear evenings, when there is not ripple
on the CLASSY surface of the sea, you may
look down into Is fathoms Of water and
see submerged houses, and churches, with
sharks swimming quietly in and out Of
the open windows of their belfries. The
work Of centuries was destroyed in few
moments by one single convulsivc throb
of the thin film on which man has lived
and spcculated for ages past. An Ameri-
can diving company, instigated in their
enterprise by tales of untold wealth buried
beneath the sea by this sudden shock, res
cucd no treasures but the big bell sus-
pended still in the bell tower, and donat-
ed the same to the museum of the bell
island, where it may be seen, with many
puzz1ipg inscriptions upon it, which no.
body has as yet been able to decipher."

SINKING OF tho Diamond 10.

Speaking of the Accident to the Dia.
mond 10, which occurred on Friday night.
The Davenport Ga !ette says:
Tho staunch and fleet packet, the Dia-
mond 10, has met with disaster at last,
after years of much better luck than is Of
ten experienced by steamers on the Mis-.
sissippi. The 10 left this port at noon on
Friday, en- route for Burlington. She had
a big load Of merchandise, grain in sacks,
and plaster in barrels. Her passenger
list was not large-twenty names. In the
evening she landed at Keithsburg, and
pushed out-and soon after, in passing
the bar at the head of Kcithsburg Island
she struck rock which had been so con.
cealed by sand that its presence was moi
known before. The pilot felt the thump
and backed her, but in less than five min.
utes it was known that she was filling
with water. Then the pilot pushed ahead
and ran her as far on the sand bar as steam
would take her. And this way, her for.
ward part, from the forecastle to aft the
boilers, is above the waters power of dam
age, while the stern is in feet of water.
The steamer Muscatine was signalled as
she was passing, about an hour after the
disaster, and lost no time in going to the
rescue. Passengers and baggage, and q
good deal of the cargo, was transferred 10

Go on with the Hanging.

Just as Joseph Gibbcs, a colored citizen
of South Carolina, was about to be hang
ed, in company with John. Smith, Lieut.
Gov. Gleavcs committed his sentence to
Imprisonment in the pcnitcntiary for 20
years, and poor Smith had to 60 to the

lain was away when this interference on
the part Of Glcaves took place, and now,
that he has returned, he has written let
ter to Judge Reed telling him that the
communication is null and void, and in
structing him to go on with the hanging.
If Joseph has any feelings, these vicissi-
tubes will be likely to disturb him. Snatch
ed from death to life, and then snatchcd
back from life to death he will go out OF
the world with his ideas of the powers of

person, at least, will learn something by

Hard Minnesota cash wheat was quoted
in Chicago, last week, at $l.45. The
steady progress which this grade Of wheat
has made in the markets during the past
year is quite remarkable and highly fiat
tering to Minnesota AZ we'll as rcmunera
tive to tic farmers Of this State. a year
ago this date it found slow sale ut $1.16.
Now it is in strong demand and com
mands a premium Of seventeen cents over
the common. No. 2 wheat of Iowa. Hard
Minnesota wheat, it may be remarked, is
the ordinary variety of Fife Spring wheat,
which is the most extensively grown on
the prairies here. In view Of the fine
prospects of the crops now being harvest
ed, the high standing Of Minnesota wheat
is a matter Of profound congratulation.-

Moro Si0lnese Twins.

SANDUsKY, o., Aug. 23.-A most re.
marlkable freak Of nature occurred here
yesterday. A woman named Guth, resid.
ing in the Fourth Ward, gave birth to
Siamese twins-both females. The union
began at the last rib and extended to the
hip hone. The children have two chests
but only one abdomen. One had its arm
around the others neck. Both were per-
fectly developed, other than the deformity
mentioned. The children died shortly
after birth. The case creates much CON-
ment here among the medical fraternity,
ard efforts have been made to procure the
children for dissection, but the parents
positively refuse to allow it, Inter Ocean.

The Murder in Wabasho County

Special to the Pioneer Press.
WABAsHA, Aug. 25.-Nothing definite
is yet to be learned from the inquest in
the O'Connor case. 1t is rumored that
O'Connor mad row with family by the
name OF Kelly in the harvest field on Sun
day last. In the evening O'Connor was
fred at while in his house, the charge
missing him. He then took his gun and
a light and started out doors to find the
person who had shot at him. He was
then shot at again, the charge, shot, slugs,
etc.. taking effect in one Of his shoulders
and passing through one of his lungs.
He died upon the spot. The quarrel is
said to have commenced over dissatisfac-
ton on the part of both families over the
marriage Of young Kelly to daughter Of
O'Connor's last winter, which has finally
eliminated in this terrible tragedy.

Sweet Prospects for the Great Salt Lake.

A writer in the Galaxy, speaking Of the
Great Salt Lake, says: THE water is so
dcnscly saline that it is impossible for a
body to find the bottom. 1t is a capital
place to acquire the art ofswimming with
perfect safety. In former times three
barrels of water left to evaporate would
produce one barrel of salt; but the fresh
ening within the last twenty years has so
weakened it that now four barrels of it
are required to obtain that quantity. 1t
has become fresh, therefore, in a proper
ton Of somewhat more than l per cent.
yearly. Hence it follows that in less than
one hundred years the name of Great Sal,
Lake should be changed; for by this time
it will, like Mormonism, be cleared Of all
its impurities"

The Dispatch was not gratified in the
choice Of Mr.. Pillsbury. His nom-
nation left no doubt in the public mind
as to who will be the next governor Even
Mr.. Buell. does not entertain any hope Of
being elected, and this puts the Dispatch
out Of bumor. It is the custom Of that
paper to make the most reckless assertions
concerning candidates not of its own Sc
lection, and to create the impression that
they are scoundrcls unfit to be out of pris-
on, and much more to be elected to posi-
tions Of honor and trust Toward Mr..
Pillsbury that paper pursues different
course. Instead of charging him with
having committed all the crimes known
to the law, it contents itself with an effort
70 make it appear that the candidate has
not rs much technical scholarship as is
required to properly discharge the du-
ties Of the executive Office. Because Mr..
Pilsbury, like General Grant. never at
.enspts to make a speech, the Dispatch
argues that his education has been neg
.lected,-a very lame conclusion. The ten
years of service by Dir. Pill:1ury in the
Senate chamber serve to p: =" ''rJ'ond the
possibility Of doubt, thal'!:',> education
is 80 perfect 90 to make him .ot only the
trusted leader in all Legislation affecting
the finances of the State, but to preserve
him from the commission of a single
act either in public or private life, which
was dishonest, or even un,nanIy. If such
career is evidence of illiteracy the pco
pie will say, "Givc us an iliterate Govern
or" In noticing what the Dispatch says
we treat it az courteously as though il
we're generally regarded competent to crit
icise literary performances and possessed
of character sufficient to give its state
ments weight in the minds ofhonest men

RETROSPECTIVE.

Four years ago to-day We assumed con-
troll Of the TRANSCRIPT, and issued our
first number. That to us was the begin
ming OF journalism, but We are further
along now-having learned by experience
much that we should have never known
had VIC not assumed the task and entered
upon the duties of publishing Il newspa-
per. We have s,riven constantly to incul-
cate sound principles both in government
and in III erals; to build up all legitimate in
forests located within the sphere of our in
1luencc, and to publish the current and TO-
cal news Of the day. We have been, and
still are, an unfaltering republican, and
yet we hope that we have avoided all man.
itcstation of that intolerant spirit, so prev
alcnt at the present time. We have re-
served TO ourself both the privilege and
the responsibility Of publishing our own
opinions regardless Of the effect which
such action might produce. We have
never Intentionally wrong";' timer friend
or foe by our editorial :rea ST Of those
classes If we have lauted "anns-and
We have we have done it without know
ing them to be such until the words had
been published If we have rebuked
demagogucs-an we have-we have done
i, for the public good. If we have drawn
pen pictures with such accuracy that the
subjects of them are known to the public
with US much certainty as the police know
the petty thieves whom they thrust into
Jail daily, it has been to subserve the pur-
pose of correction, and not 10 crafty any
unkind feeling Of our own. If mean men
arc in office in this county by reason of
our having exerted an influence in their
fayor-and there arc some such-they re-
ceived aid from us before We knew their
true character; but these are only Incl
dents Of our work which We feel in the
main has been done reasonably we'll. We
have much foe which to feel kindly toward
OUT numerous patrons and readers, and to
incite US to continued labor TOR the pro-
motion of their interests. Those who owe
us Most, l!d\C plOfcu W NC VIC AuOSs uu-
worthy and the least grateful of any Of the
great number for whose advancement we
have put forth our best efforts, but there
is no encouragement in this. Rewards
may come slowly, but they will come at
last to every man who merits them, and
Ee,ribu,ions, although they do not always
follow speedily, are sure to ovcrtakc the
wrong. doer, and exact from him the full
penalty of his crimes. The honest man
can wait patio n,ly, know irg that the fu-
tire will do him justice, but the bad man
secs in the flight Of years the approach Of
his doom. Time is a great equalizer, and
will make all things even. In the light
Of this truth, and in its spirit we shall so
forward more courageously than ever be-
fore, in the prosecution Of our work, to
aid in which we ask the cooperation Of
all who wish to promote the public good.
What we have done in the past must serve
as al index to our future course.
