RUNAWAY MATCHES BY TWO BROTHERS
AND TWO sIsTERS-AN ABANDONED
WIFE.
Mrs Eliza Hawthorne tainted in the WASH
ington Place police court yesterday before
the Justices bench She had come with her
mother, Mrs. DIR. Lownes, of l0l east 18th
street, to substsntiate charge OF abandon
ment against her husband. 1t was upon the
appearance of the husband, who was led In
with other prisoners, that she gave way. In
the early part of last year two daughters OF
of two brothers, John and Charles Haw-
thOrne. The girls parents opposed the init
macy, and DIR. LOwnes forbade the young
men TO enter his house. Toe girls slipped
out slyly one evening, and were married
to the Hawthornes In the house of a
friend. DR.. Lownes cast OFF his daughters.
Charles and his wife lived happily for q
short time at the house of his mother, 80
Waverley place. Then ne lost employment
and they were dependent for support upon mis-
mother, who disliked the young wife. A
child was born TO the couple, and four days
afterwards Mrs. Lee went To the infant asy-
lum at "a Clinton place, and, representing
herself TO be missionary, procured the ad-
mission OF the mother and child. She said
that the mothers name was Horton, and
that she had found her In destitute circum-
stances. Mrs. Hawthorne remained in the
institution until she was recognized by q
physician who was acquainted with her
father. In the meantime $50 she testified in
COURT she had repeatedly written TO her
husband, but had received no answer; nor did
he 60 to see her. The husband testified that
he had done the best he could to support his
wife, but had no money, being himself sup
ported entirely by his mother. He had
sought his wife in almost every asylum in
the city, bat could not find her. Her letters
had never been received by him. He asked
his mother where she had gone, and she
wouldn't tell. He was committed to prison
until he could procure bonds in the sum of
missioners of charities and correction for the
support of the infant--CN. Y. Stta, 2lst.

Astonishing Feats OF Chinese Acre


The Chinese tumDierS lately introduced
into tie jackson Street Chinese Academy OF
Music are indeed marvels in the line. \
number OF athletic Mongoliaas appear
stripped 10 the waist, and begin a sort OF
combination on the stage. At Iirst the hight
ing appears To be promiscuous, but six or
eight finally ally themselves against one
man, end try to overcome him by springlng
against him and striking him full in the
breast with the soles of their feet. He IN eets
this curious mode OF attack by standing ike
statue, while the others fall heavily upOn
the floor. a number OF tables are next
brought out and piled one above another.
until height or about twenty feet il at
tained. A performer, whose weight is not
less than 80 pounds, mounts them, and,
springing into the air toward the floor and
the stage, strikes both feet with a heavy
thud upon thQ,bare bre asst OF a man standing
about ten feet from the foot of tables, throw
ing him violently TO the floor. How a man
can sustain such blow is a mystery.
Again the agile acrobat ascends TO the top
table, and, springing upwards, turns a
somersault, while all the tables, except the
lower one, are suddenly taken away. Upon
the only table left he falls with a force APP
pareEtly great enough TO break every bone
IN MS body; but he leaps up again immedi-
ate!y and turns back hand springs across
tie stage. Again he climbs TO the top of the
tower of tables, while a second lies down
upon a table few feet from the base OF the
falls upon the other body, the two breast 10
breast, and bounds off again with a second
somersault. Other acrobats climbed to va
rious attitudes, and fell upon the stage,
alighting square upon their backs with a
force that is astonishing. The feats are ali
executed by men In a semi-nude condition,
so that there is no chance for padding their
clothes. The manager informed the Call re-
porter that the tupblers were trained from
childhood, and became habituated to the
terrible conclusions only by years OF prac-
tlce He added that many were ktllel in
training, or manned for life.-lSIn FRANCISCO

AN ARTIFICIAL MoTHER.-Mr. 7. q. Ro-
gers, the famous poultry raiser at Wetners-
field, has "sensed the precise thing !" and has
invented what he calls an artificial mother
Tor the rearing OF young chickens. He esti-
mates that at least fifty per cent. OF chickens
being stepped on by their mother, by cats
and other animals, and In various other
ways. He also finds that chickens To be
profitable should be Matched IN the winter.
be has Matched three broods in nine weeks
with one hen-that is, he takes away the
eggs under the hen, and in this ways keeps
her busy propagating chickens. Mr.. Rogers
next move was 10 get up some invention
that would take care Of the chickens when
Matched, and he has constructed what he
calls an artificial mother This is a box
feet long by two feet and q half wide. In the
rear is lid covered with wool, which shuts
within three inches OF the bottom; this is
cut of from the front part by a strip that
can be raised on hinges. The front Is pro-
tected by lattice work, giving plenty OF air
and light, and on the outside are tin trou CHS
ia winch gravel, food and water are plac al.
The chickens can easily get their bills into
these, and when they have got their Ill they
can run under the wool covered lid, which is
so soft and comfortable that they imagine
they are under the old hens wings. Mr.
Rogers had in one OF these boxes yesterday
brood OF twenty.one chickens. sixteen of
on Sunday. They were all as lively as crick-
cts, and seemed perfectly at ease. He took
them TO the Springfield poultry show on the
noon train, where they will undoubtedly at
tract good deal of attention. Mr.. Rogers

. A MYSTERIOUS EPIDEMIC, supposed TO be
typhoid fever, broke out the other day in the
village of Eggley, in England, and has since
spread to Bolton. Several de aths have &C.
CURED and over one hundred persons have
been attacked by il. A swelling of the tongue
and eyes, accompanied by sickness, aud in
some cases, insensibiiity, is the primary
symptom. Various causes are assigned, the
most probable being that the village milk
was supplied from animals affected by the
foot and mouth disease. To the foulness Of
the water, defective drainage, and lead
poison the ou tbreak is attributed by others.
The health officer, who has analysed the
milk, can discover no trace Of lead, though
he has detected the presence of other impur.
tiles. He is inclined TO the belief that either
the cans In which milk was supplied have
been washed with polluted water, or the
milk has been adulterated with water from
an impure stream. This view OF the case is
supported by the fact that the disease from
which the persons are suffering is developing
into typhoid fever. Near to one Of the farms
there Is a small stream OF water, which Is not
only charged with the drainage of manured
fields, but which is contaminated with house
sewerage, Stops, &c, and this is the water
which the cattle on the farm have to drink.
