A Whole Family Drowned.

A heartrending and distressing acct
dent occurred recently at GAINESVILLE, Ia.
In the afternoon Mr.. Lane, with his wife
and two children, went on the ice in the
Mississippi river to enjoy themselves.
He Impoverished a hand sleigh and a
large box, into which he placed his wife
and children. Two handles extended
from the rear Of the sleigh, with which
Mr.. Lane showed the sleigh on the ice.
They were hsving delightful time. The
ice near the shore was about three inches
thick. The river was open IN the chan
mel, and the ice near the open water was,
of course, much thinner. Mr.. Lane, un-
fortunately, ventured too near the open
water. He felt the ice giving way, but
before he could retrace his steps it broke
through, enyulfng in the stream the wife,
the children ard the father-all in a
moment we're launched into eternity. The
maddening shrek of the drowning fam
lily was heard by a party of woodchop-
pers on an adjacent island, who saw the
catastrophe. They fastened to the res
cue but were unable to arrive in time to
be Of service. Lane and his family were
under the ice, their dead bodies probably
foating down the river. 1t was sad to
contemplate, and the bronzed faces of the
hardy woodchOppers were moistened with
tears they could not control They went
10 the station and gave the alarm, and
then proceeded to Lanes cabin. They
found the door unlocked. Inside bright
fire cracked in the steve. The silver
bright tin kettle was singing for the re-
turn of the unfortunate family. The cat
and dog were nestled under the stove
awaiting the return Of the two children
who petted them. Everything about the
house indicated happiness and neatness
Mr. Lane was the ticket agent at the
station, ard is spoken of as man of in.
dustrious and frugal habits, and a man

little family

They were sitting IN an open buggy on
the cross road, and bounded on one side
by the wood and on the other by an or
chard. The first he heard was, 'Now
stop, Will: you will muss my hair" He
laughed, and she broke out with 'You
don't love me one bit" The caress he
gave her would have made an anaconda

Shocking Tnhumanity-How the
1ndigent Dead are Buried in San
Diego.
From the Union. !


Complaint was filed with Health
onicer Stockton on the 30th
Dlt charging E. H. Adler, con-
tr1ctor for the burial of INDECENT
deoeased persons for the county,
with violation of the public health
ordinance in the improper burial
Of certain bodies. In pursuance of
this complaint, DR.. Stockton sum.
moned Trustee d. w. Briant, of
the Board of Health, and proceed
cd to the cemetery to investigate the
matters charged. The report of their
investigation shows the follow
Ing scandalous discovery. Upon
opening what purported to be
grave, was revealed the body of
Thomas Logan, an old citizen of
the county, who came here as o
soldier many years ago, and who
recently died in the County Hos
pital. Logan's corpse lay within
% inches Of the top of the ground,
without coff1n or burial case OF
any kind. and almost nude, the
entire covering consisting of a
pair of socks, wooden undershirt,
and q knit waistcoat. Immedi-
ately beneath the body of Logan,
in the same shallow hole, lay the
body Of George Halverson, an.
other recently deceased County
Hospital patient, also without cof-
I'm or burial case Of any kind, and
with no covering save q pair of
white conton flannel drawers and q
woOlen shirt. The hole into which
these two bodies had thus been
dumped was not Of greater depth
in any place than 81 feet, and was
ecooped out in the middle,
and nowhere wider than 13
inches. DIR. Stockton immedi-
etely ordered the bodies to be taken
up, pr0eerly coffined, and decently
inferred. 6Hspecting that there
might be further evidences of this
inhuman work, the Health Officer
directed the examination of other
graves Of persons inferred by Adler,
and found in one case rude coffin
within four inches of the surface;
In another the coffin was within
seven inches, and in a third within
fourteen Dinces OF the top
Of the ground. DR.. stock kton
and Trustee Briant report that the
atmosphere in the immediate vi
cinity of these pretended graves
was most offensive and sickening
Upon returning to the city yester'
day afternoon, the Health Officer
filed his formal complaint befor,
Justice Leonard, reciting the result
OF his examination as to the buria
OF the bodies of Halverson and Lo
gan, and CHARGING Adler will
misdemeancr in violating
the laws for The preservation
OF the pubic health; whereupor

Adler was arrested and brought in
to court, when, upon being in
formed of the offense charg e,
against him, he gave bond for his
future appearance to answer.

I he Boy from Nowhere .
New York World

A tall slim boy, with bright eyes,
closely cropped hair AMI suit of
clothes ragged and much too small
for him, was taken before Justice
Otterb0urg at the Jefferson Market
Police Court yesterday on charge
of being vagrant. His name, lie
said was Uriah Wharton. The
Justice asked him how he came to
be vagrant, and the boy said:
II came here from Californy
bout month ago. I came here
cause 1 thought might get some
work to do. amt got any mother
or father, or any friends, either,
anywheres, and L thought my best
chances was here. But am worse
off than ever. 1 couldn't get any
work, and I'd like to be sent some.
where for the Winter, and in the
Spring 1 can find my way back to
Calif0rny. I stole ride here" ad-
ded the boy hesitatingly, "and 1
s'pose l can do the same thing
when want to get back there"
"Do you belong in Califor-
nia?"
II don't belong anywhere. My
father had farm in New Jersey,
and when l was four years old lie
sold 1T, and we all went to Oregon.
We were there two years, and be-
lieye father made a good deal o.
money. Then we all went to Aus
tralia; but father didn't do so we'll,
and he brought US back to New
Jersey. Afterwards he went to AL.
ALBANIA, and he got to drinking and
he died. And then mother died.
l had an uncle Uriah, who used to
keep the Boulevard Hotel in Ho-
boken, aud he moved 10 Sac
ramento and took me with him.
There L got to knocking
around among the men in the
racing stables and got to be boy

frightened up with the remem.
