1he Jersey Caltle Sale.

The second days sale of Jersey cattle
at the American Institute Building,
New York, on Wednesday, was very
successful in the average of prices and
in the high figures reached in some of
the sales. The greatest interest was
manifested in the competition over the
fine young Princess ii, 3 years old
The bidding for her ran up easily to
$4,000, when an enthusiastic burst of
applause broke from the spectators The
bidding then arose, by tifties and hun
dreds, to $500, 81, 600 and 81, 900. The
animal was finally knocked down to Mr..
S. M. Shoemaker, of Baltimore, Nd,
at u, 500. She was sired by Khedive and
her dam was Princess, both of the
Island of Jersey, and she was imported
in 1879, by Mr.. E. p. p. Fowler from
the herd of Mr.. LIE Calais, St. Bre.
ladies', Island Of Jersey. She is of
light fawn color, with white switch,
very yellow skin, large and perfectly
formed udder, prominent milk veins.
Her pedigree embraces the names of
many famous milk and butter pro-
ducing cows, and point in ner favor

other entries lacked. The highest
price of Tuesdays sale-$1, 550-was
also surpassed by the heifer Leah Oar

A Rare Planetsr Sight,

Mr.. j. Herschel writes Those who
watch for and witness the phenomena
of the 30th, may talk without fear for
tho rest of their lives of having seen
what few others have seen on any 9TH
er occasion-namely, Venus and Mer.
curry in very close conjunction at the
very unusual height of thirty degrees
above the horizon. The two planets
are now about ten degrees apart. This
distance will continually diminish,
while both recede from the sun, until
the Goth, when the distance will be less
than two degrees. The line joining
them will at the same time attain its
nearest approach to horizontality at
sunset After this date-Venus con-
tinues to increase its distance from
the sun, while Mercury ceases to do so
and begins its return-their mutual
distance will again increase, the line
joining them returning again rapidly
TO a nearly vertical position. Both
planets will continue to get brighter
Turing these changes.

A CASE OF DISSECTION.
A Man ana Wife leave Their
Children without Support

A few weeks ago q woman named
Mellon, wife Of Charles Mellon, resid-
ing on Shallcross Avenue, betwee
Adams and jackson streets, gave
birth to child. As soon as she was
able to leave her room, she took the
child and departed for parts unk novn,
since which time, about three weeks,
she has not been seen or heard from.
A day or two after Mr.. Mellon went
Cd "spree" and he too has not since
been seen.
In taking their departure nothing was
said to the three children about where
they we're going, neither was any pro-
vision made for their support and they
would have starved ere this had it not
been for the timely discovery of their
sad condition bya neighbor who has been
supplying them with the necessaries
of life ever since. The Oldest of the
three children thus cruelty neglected,
is only years and the youngest 10
months. This case should receive
the attention of the society for the pre-
vention of cruelty to children, and the
parents should be severely punished for
thus cruelty neglecting their offspring.
The neighbors are very much inoensed
over the affair and numerous threats
have been made against the parents.

FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Young Woman Killed on the
r. w. d b. Railroad Last Even.
Ing

Last evening a sad accident occurred
on the p W. & B. Railroad at Brandy.
| wine station about mile and half
above this city. Yesterday morning a
young lady named Miss Martha j.
Knox, who resided at No. 3S0S Locust
street, West Philadelphia, came down
accompanied by hsr lover to visit her
brother, Mr.. William Knox who lives
near Brandywine station. They passed
a very pleasant day, and shortly after
seven o'clock last evening left the
house to 60 to the station, intending to
take the 80 p. IN. accommodation train
for Philadelphia. At 1926, what is
known as the Congressional express,
the fastest train on the road, passes this
station without stopping, and as the
young lady saw it coming, she thought
it was the train she was waiting for
and stepped to the side of the track to
meet it.
The train was approaching at the
rate of forty miles an hour and the en-
gineer seeing her danger blew the whis.
tie but without avail, as the next mo.
ment her dress was caught by the car
and her body was whirled over and
over along the side of the track, and al
though the wheels did not run over her
it is thought that.her death was instan.
taneous. There is terrible cash acros
her forehead which those who wit
messed the accident think was done by
the step of the car. Her body is terri
bly, bruised and had almost all her
torn off. Her relatives who
had accompanied her to the station
were witnesses of the sad event, but |
of course were powerless to render any
assistance. The lifeless and mangled
body was picked up and carried back
to her brothers. house which she had
left but few minutes before filed with
life and gayety. Miss Knox was about
% years of age, native of Ireland but
has resided in Philadelphia for some
time.
The Coroner was notified and went
to the scene of the accident on the G.55
