A Mothers PremOnitiOn.

Yesterday Wilson McCandless Reed,
boy IL years old, son of Robert A..
Reed, who lives at No. 105 Center
Avenue, took his fathers dinner to him
where he works, at the new gas-works,
on Second Avenue. On the way back
the lad concluded to take bath in the
Monongahela. 1t seems that the boy
could swim indifferently, but had never
been in the river, and after going into
the water walked a few feet to a ledge
where there is q perpendicular offset.
Stepping from the ledge he found him
self foundering in Is feet of water, and,
becoming frightened, lost presence of
mind and was unable to put his knOwl-
edge of swimming into practice. Young
Reed was accompanied by boy, who
ran frantically up the bank and gave an
alarm at the top of his voice. The boys
shouts attracted the attention of num-
Der of people, but before they could
reach the scene the unfortunate lad had
sunk for the last time. A number of
expert divers set to work to bring up the
body, but they were unable to find it..
At last q curious superstition was EN-
ployed, and is said to have been
effectual. One of the boys shirts
was thrown into the river, where he had
gone down, and, it is said, floated on
the surface for time, and finally set
tied to the bottom, at certain place
which proved to be the resting-place of
the body, and which was then drawn
out. The belief that the shirt of a
drowned person when thrown into the
water will follow the body, is well
spread, absurd as it appears. Another
strange incident is related in connection
with the case. A lady had been COM
missiOned to break tho news to the I'M
fortunate mother, and when she arrived
at the house, she asked for him in an in
different way, in order to lead the moth
er to the knowledge by degrees. The
mother appeared to divine her errand at
once, and replied, "Oh, he's drowned;
l saw his body in the bottom of tub.
CThe family washing had been done
during the day. Coroner Thomas held
an inquest, and . verdict in accordance
with the facts above related concerning
the drowning was rendered.-Pittsburgh
Dispatch.

en- H. Il banks and leaps in tie sir,
then the lasso has to be thrown. It can
not be thrown over him while he is lying
or sitting on the rock, only when he Is
in the air as he leaps into the sea. This
lasso, Is is necessary, must be thrown
with such dexterity as to catch him
around one of his fins. II 10 then held
until another lasso is put around the
other fin. With these two, to perform
the rest of the work by throwing laaso
about his neck is comparatively easy.
A cage is then brought and placed over
the animal. With the lassos, which are
then run through the slat sides of the
cage, the lion is pulled inside, when the
cage is turned top upwards, the men
holding to the ropes, while others nail
up the open side. The lion is then Sc

"A Singular win Suit in Scotland.

Some of the Scotch papers are giving
details of q very extraordinary will case
which will shortly be submitted for trial.
The story is this: The daughter of q
country practitioner, in q little village
in Scotland, awoke one morning to find
herself great heiress. The traditional
uncle, who had come from India with q
fortune, had died, leaving beautiful
estate and fully q, 500, OOOi money and
West Indian property to his niece, Miss
Macpherson Grant. At that time she
was bright, clever, handsome and about
81 years of age. She took possession
of her property and lived in great style,
keeping large stud of horses, and driv-
ing tandem herself all over the country.
Her father and mother she took under
her wing, and was devoted to them to
the last days Of their lives. She estab-
lished them in an Independent and ele-
giant home near Edinburgh, but had
them a great deal with herself at the
Aberlour House, ON the Speyside.
Some fifteen years ago q young lady
came to pay her "A visit. She
was stranger to Miss Grant, and was
brought by some friends. 1t ended in
this young lady, Miss Temple, leaving
father and mother, with their entire con-
currence, and living with Miss Grant,
for better or for worse, until death should
them part; in fact, they formed such a
friendship that they agreed and entered
into an engagement that neither should
marry, and that they should pass their
lives together. Miss Grant then and
there refused very good offer of mar
riage, and rejected all other suitors.
The conditions were that Miss Grant
was to leave her estates and every thing
to Miss Temple, if Miss Temple, on her
part, never left her and never married.
A will was made by Miss Grant, under
which her property was to pass to the
Temples. Two years ago Miss Temple
married. Last Christmas Miss Grant
died. The will was revoked. She new
er forgave the detection, she never made
another will, and the estate goes to an
obscure country doctor in Aberdeen
shire, who hardly knew he was related
to Miss Grant, and never saw her. 9th
er four relations, poor tradespeople in
Banffshire, came in for share. Over
this question of succession there will be
terrible fight in the law courts between
the Temples and the heirs-at-law. Miss
Grant was very masculine in appearance
and manly in dress.
