TERRIBLE ACCIDENT,
Two Boys Smothered in Sand
Bank in North Topeka.

Many of the boys in North Topeka
have been accustomed tor years TO
build "dug OUT play houses III the
river bank on that side of the river.
Predictions that these play houses
would sometime prove disastrous
we're verified Yesterday in most
startling manner. The manner ofcon-
structing these "houses," were about
this: Several of the boys would get
together and, with spades or shovels,
dig into the soft sand and excavate
large holes, into which they would go
and play at housekeeping.
Yesterday afternoon at about five
O'Clock, several boys-some four or
1--WE were thus engaged, when the
roof of one of these houses fell in,
completely covering two and partially
covering two others. An alarm was
Immediately given, when men with
spades hurried to the ground to uncov-
err the bodies.
Two of the boys, Tommy Jones, a
son of Mr.. John a. Jones, who has
been employed for several years by Ii.
w. Baker Il CO., of this city ,Ridenour
Il Baker, of Lawrence, and Harry
Baird, the son OFF NJ. Baird, a timer
in the employ of Smith 81 Hale and a
member of the Board of Education,
were found to be dead. Tommy was
about thirteen years old and Harry
eleven. The bodies of the boys were
taken to the homes of their parents,
and DR.. Gibson, the coroner. summon
ed, but the facts being apparent no in
quest was held. The two boys who
were partially covered were uniniured.
Some delay occurred in getting help
to remove the sand. The boys who
escaped, in response to the question,
by the first man they met, whether
there were spades or shovels at the
bank, said there were, but it was found
that the implements the boys had been
using were covered by the fallen sand,
so that spode had to be sent for. 1t
is probable, however, that death was
almost instantaneous. Young Baird's
face bore no trace of suffering and, but
for the pallor of his cheek, looked like
child asleep.
The funeral of the two boys will be
attended this afternoon.

The Concert.

The concert Of sacred music given in
Emmanuel Church last Friday evening,
as concert was success A fair au-
dience as to numbers was present, and
the programme embraced fine selec-
ton from the most eminent composers.
The concert had been looked forward to,
since its first announcement, as musical
treat, since an entertainment purely of
sacred music had not been given here
for many years, and it is gratifying to
know that the result was so satisfactory.
Although much was expected from
Mr.. Morawski, the anticipations of all
must surely have been realized in the
rare combination which bis voice pos.
sesses. 1t is full, rich and of great pow
err. His execution is also without a
fault This was particularly noticeable
in the solo PityO D, Saviour the adap-
tation of voice to music was very strik-
ing in this piece and the expression per
feet His excellent method shows him
to have had the highest advantages in
the cultivation of his voice.
The home talent developed to the sat
isfaction of all, in fact surprisingly so.
Mrs. Elliott as accompanist, was remark
able for that delicate sympathy with the
music and voice Of the soloist which
brings out both to the best advantage !;
her execution is always admirable, and
it was truly wonderful touch that made
the organ speak so we'll in the opening
voluntary The choir, consisting of a
double quartette, sung very finely this
was particularly the case in " Remember
Thy Mercies," and Mighty Jehovah.
Miss Gindrat is a brilliant and ac-
complished performer and the selections

brought out in mastery manner Miss
Grinnell gave unbounded satisfaction,
her pure, sweet voice in Angels ever
bright and fair" and Consider the
lilies, won the admiration Of her hear
ers The Duet by Miss Eva Walk
er and Mr.. j. H. Williams was very fine
and admirably sung, as was also the
quartette larry with me o my Saw
Jour-" The success of the enterprise
was principally due Mr. John II. Will
Jams, who had the matter in charge and
by whose exertions the assistance of
Prot. Morawski was secured.

Obituary.

Belinda Prentiss, wife of Samuel All.
bee, was born in Grafton, Vt, Aug. %
1881 She came to Bellows Falls to
live when about Is years old in the fam
lily Of Esq. Hall, then in trade at that
place. In Jan. %, 1877, she was mar
ried to Samuel Allbee, he then living at
Bellows Falls. They lived on the place
now owned by S. f. Allbee, seven years.
Since that time they have lived on the
farm now owned and for forty eight years
by Samuel Allbee The deceased was
the mother of nine children, eight of
whom are now living. The deceased
was very prominent in the neighborhood
where she lived, ever ready and willing
to lend helping hand in time of sick
ness or distress ever ready to feed the
hungry, or to cheer up the down-trodden.
She had outlived her usefulness, it being
about ten years since she lost her senses.
May we as children ever with fondness
cherish the dear remembrance of low
ing mother. We shall miss her. Nav
her spirit find that sweet repose, free
from care and perplexity, hoping that
we shall one day meet her in the realms
above with angels forever more to dwell.
