WHIRLED INTO ETERNITY.
a Young Girl Carried Round shaft
Making 80 Revolutions n Minute.
And Fatally Injured.

Canlpbellford Herald
The sickening occurrence which we
have to relate happened on Friday last.
in the card room of the wooden factory
conducted by Z. Senior. On thai morn
inc. Helen McKeel, a young person who
has been employed in the building for
some weeks past, had occasion to move
from one part of the room which she
worked to another, near the revolving
shaft which gives motion to the machine
nv in that department This power is
the main upright shaft leading from
the water wheel in the cellar of the
building, and which is connected with
the length directly attached to the
wheel below by a coupling just above
the floor. The coupling is joined and
made secure by bolts and nuts passing
through flange which juts out two or
three inches beyond the shaft. For some
time past it has become the habit with
few of those employed to ride on the
shaft while in motion, which they did
by catching hold of it With their hands
and afterwards placing their feet on the
tlange referred, upon which they could
rest. Very thoughtlessly at any time
and sadly on this occasion, the unfor-
tunate girl attempted the same thing
when the shaft was whirling round, at
the rate of so to 100 revolutions to the
minute Just as she had got on she dis
covered that her clothing was becoming
entangled in the nuts below, and be-
coming frightened she either jumped
or fell from her position and was thrown
face downward to the floor With great
rapidity she was hurled round and
around the shaft, each revolution throw
ing her with terrible force against a
large post which stands about four feet
distant and which serves as q support to
the floor above. A cry of horror rose
from the lips of those who witnessed the
poor body whirling into eternity, and
with every possible speed the machinery
was brought to a standstill. The sight
that met their gaze after the awful work
was done sent thrill of terror
through every heart. What was life
and bloom n minute before, now lay a
bruised and bleeding mass. The body
was bruised and blackened, the right
arm was broken, the face distorted, the
eye disfgured, and the poor head bat
tered and swoled. Almost every par
ticle of her clothing was torn in shreds
from her body; and the wonder is how
the human frame could have borne the
terrible blows without life being instant
ly extinguished and the body torn to
pieces.
She fingered until about 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon, without ever uttering
a word or even giving the slightest sign
of consciousness, when the spirit took
its flight.

by no means delightful Yet there are,
of course, very few houses, even among
those of the highest nobility, to which
the Princess of Wales can go as an in
vited guest. And, when she does go,
an awful state hedges her around. She
is passionately fond of dancing, yet no
gentleman can ask her to dance. She it
is who signals out the parsonage whom
she desires as partner, and when she
stands up to dance, all other dancers
must sit down. After circling around
the room some half dozen times. she
pauses and sits down to rest, and then
the remainder of the walters may take
a turn, but as soon as she stands up again
they must stop. This solitary Grand
Lama kind of performance cannot be
very amusing to this kindly, gentle,
amiable lady. She is, l am told, most
accomplished dancer, despite her slight
hmeness. But, of all the recreations of
her life, she most enjoys driving in the
park. In her little victoria with her
dame de compdg,sie beside her, she is free
To enjoy the testimonials of affection
and enthusiasm that meet her every
where. and no one that notes the
gracious smile and bow wherewith she
returns every salutation can doubt her
delight at her own popularity.

GENERAL HANCOCK.
He Alone Culpable for the Execution
of Mrs. Surratt.

The Baltimore american has an account
of a remarkable interview with Mrs. Pro-
fessor Toury, who was Miss Anna Surratt,
the daughter of the Mrs. Surratt who was
hung in Washington under the orders o
Gen. Hancock, the commanding general.
The democratic organs and orators hither-
to have charged that General Hancock
could have saved Mrs Surratt had he
chosen to do SO, and that he not only dis
obeyed the writ of habeas corpus that was
issued to him on the preceding day for the
production of the body of Mrs. Surratt,
but that he also prevented the access Of
her daughter to the president when she
came TO the white house for reprieve and
that in various other WAYS he took care that
the execution should take place at the APP
pointed hour OF course the democratic
press and democratic orators now tell diff
ferent story. In the course of this long
interview with the daughter of Mrs
Surratt she is quoted az saying the
following among other things: Speaking
of General Hancock, you could not call
his conduct exactly brutal, but do believe
that he wished for the execution of my
mother, and would not so much as have
lifted his finger to prevent it. If | were 70
tell you all that happened and all that WAS
said at that interview referring to an in
IerNieW with CIenefal Hancock At the Me-
troplitan Hotel, it would be very much to
General Hancocks discredit" The hus-
band of Mrs. Toury, then coming in, said
''The truth viii come out sooner or later.
NV wife has already told you that it will
do no credit to General Hancock, and |
know that that is fact For my part. |
wish that he had been in the Sandwich Is
lands sooner than that my party, the demo-
cratic party, had nominated him for the
presidency. / repeat to you that this con-
nection with the murder of Mrs. Surratt
was no credit to him, and he deserves the
title of her exeeutioner. Iou may write
down whatever is said in Hancock's favor
in that matter as untrue. Replying to
the question that General Hancock would
probably disprove these sensational state
ments, Professor Toury said: Then we
are ready to meet him and prove our side
of the case"

BREACH OF PROMISE.
a HOosIcr Widows Race for &i"OoO
Consolation Purse.

A case containing many novel ana
sensational features was called in court
to-day. 1t is suit brought by Mrs.
Elizabeth Mcpherson against j. w.
Marble for $4,000 for breach of prom
Use. The plaintiff is woman of more
than so years of age, blessed with ordin-
airy good looks and fair share ofworld-
ly goods, while the defendant has al
most reached the time allotted to man.
kind here below-three score and ten
and his possessions count up into the
thousands. Both parties reside in
Hendricks township, this county, and
Mr.. Marble owns one of the largest
and richest farms in that section of the
country. He has a large family of chill
dren and grandchildren, and he has al
ways been a man of prominence, III the
community. Mrs. Mcpherson was left
widow soon after the war, and she also
has a family of grown children. The
interested parties have lived neighbors
to each other for a number of years. In
the complaint the fair but aged plaintiff
alleges that in October, 1873, Marbles
wife died, and that in the following
month-the melancholy days OF
November-he began to visit her, The
marriage was not to take place until
after a suitable length of time had
elapsed after the death of his wife. In
substance, she claims that she remain
ed constant and was willing that the
nupitals should be consumated at any
time, but that few months later he
woed and won another widow, of young
er years, Mrs. Elizabeth Slime, residing
near Edinburg. In consequence she
suffered great anguish ofmind, disgrace
and modification. and prays the court
to allow her the sum of $4,000 to heal
wounded feelings. She was placed on
the stand this afternoon, and her testi-
mony was in accordance with the above.
She said that in November. 1873 one
evening he was at her home and said
that he could not stand it to lead sin
gle life and said, LET us get married,
to which she consented, and he contin-
ued, "Now you are mine," and advised
her as to the disposal of some property
The case will probably consume an en-
tire week
