In the battle of Tournay in 1894, the
English army was quite surrounded by
the French, and no resource was left but
to cut their way through an enemy inf
nitely superior in numbers; this was no
sooner thought of, than measures were
adopted for that purpose. The French,
however, not daring to oppose 30 brave
a band, made a lane for them to pass
through, and coolly received them on
each side with showers of musketry.
In this movement, his Royal Highness,
the Duke of York, narrowly escaped be-
ing made prisoner. Accompanied by an
Austrian General and two other officers,
he reached a village which had been
taken the preceding day from the enc.
my, and supposing it still in the hands
of the allies, they rode through it at full
gallop. In turning the corner of one Of
the streets rather sharply, they disCov-
cred that the village was then in the
hands of the French, and column of the
enemy facing them; the latter, supposing
the Duke was at the head of body Of
troops, at first fed, after having fred
volley at them, which killed the Aus
trian General by the side of his Royal
Highness Recovering, however, from
their error, the French pursued the
Duke and his two companions until they
came near a river. The Duke threw
himself off his horse, and 30 did one Of
the officers, and they Waded through the
river, the third taking the water with his
horse. All this was done under the fire
of the French, who had brought a six
pounder to bear upon them. On the
other eide of the river, the Duke fortu-
nately met with led horse of Captain
Murray, which he mounted, and thus ar
rived in safety at Tournay.

SHOCKING SUICIDE AT CLEVE-
LAND.

Cleveland, July 9.-Mrs. DR.. Allyne
Maynard committed suicide yesterday
afternoon, by saturating her clothes with
coal oil and then setting fire to them.
For about eighteen months she had been
subject to melancholy and insanity. Not
far from two years ago, while travelling
in Italy with her husband, she was taken
sick with fever, and confined to her bed
for months. The disease left her with a
sound body but an impaired brain. She
returned home, but soon after arriving
was seized with the idea that she must
take her life in such way as not to dis
figure her person. She was placed in
several asylums, and the treatment of
the most skillful physicians secured, but
there was little or no change for the bet
ter. The husband finally brought her
home again, and secured two experience
ed nurses to watch and care for her. To
do this the better, the insane woman was
taken to the house of the principal nurse
Mrs. Jackson, on Hough avenue. Here
the husband also took up his quarters.
At times Mrs. Maynard would appear
much improved, and once or twice her
condition was such that she was left
alone, but whenever this was done she
would try to steal away. Last spring she
thus disappeared, and was gone till late
at night before found. Yesterday the
deceased appeared rather more cheerful
than usual; she was sitting in her chair,
annarantlv aalepn when hOth nuraps left
her alone in the room. They returned
10 couple of minutes to find her wrap
ped in flames, and apparently endeavor-
ing to drink in the fire. This was soon
extinguished, but not till Mrs. Maynard
was so badly burned that she died in
fifteen minutes.
The deceased was forty.two years old,
was native of Cleveland, and, till her
foreign illness, was one of the most intel
ligent ladies in the city. She was high
ly educated, and member of one Of the
first families here.-Pitts. PoS,

A GIRLS ENCOUNTER WITH A
RATTLESNAKE.

One day last week Miss Mary Flesh
man, daughter ofPerry Fleshman, living
two miles east OF Platte City, had thrill
ing adventure with a raulesnake. She
was riding on horseback alone through
the woods, when she dropped her glove.
She dismounted to secure it, and as she
was STOPPING to pick it up she discovered
a large rattlesnake, at least six feet long,
coiled, and in the act Of striking, 1t did
strike, but failed to reach her, and fell at
her feet. She sprang back with a cry Of
horror but almost instantly the snake re-
coiled and struck again. Thie time the
venomous fangs stuck in the front part
of her bonnet, and the hold tearing out
with the force OF the blow and the weight
of the snake, it fell on the ground at her
feet. Instantly it reared up in front of
her, its venomous breath right in her face.
Scarcely knowing what she did, she seiz-
ed the snake Just below the head with
both hands, and, holding for moment,
with desperate energy she slung it from
her and fled Chicago Inter. Ocean.

AMONG the numerous accidents on the

children, and one other so seriously in

instances was criminal carelessness in
firing pistol, and in the others it re-
suited from allowing children to use
weapons which should never be permit
ted in their hands. The toy pistol, that
caused the death of one of the victims,
is dangerous and senseless weapon, and
should be banished as were the union
