A woman,s NTIraouIous Escape.

One Of the most singular adventures
and wonderful escapes from death ever
recorded took place ia this city Satur-
day morning. At that time Mrs. Peter
Anderson, who lives in the vicinity of
the Halfway house, and who had been
uptown, was returning to her
home. She had to cross the railroad.
Just then Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy train was coming, and she
stepped back on the Chicago, Rock
Island and Pacific track to allow the
train to pass, not noticing that at
the same time train was backing
down toward her on the Chicago
Rock Island and Pacific road.
The latter train struck her before
she was aware of its coming, and
knocked her down, she falling
Immediately between the rails.
The train came on, and the cars
passed over her PROSTATE body, the
brakes and trucks striking het success
sive hard thumps. The locomotive was
the last to reach her. and its fre-box,
coming very near the ground, pushed
and rolled her along the track for some
distance. Fortunately q cattle guard
was near, and when she reached it the
fire-box forced her between the ties into
the guard, and the locomotive passed
on. These ties are close together, and
it is not understood how she could have
been forced between them without kill.
ing her, but the fact remains.
She was picked up and attended by
Dr. Sloan, who at first thought she was
dangerously hurt. Her skull had sus.
tanned q slight fracture, and the flesh
had been torn from her body in several
places. Her shoes and stockings had
also been ripped of. Subsequent ex
animation, however, proved that hel
wounds are not fatal and with proper
care she can recover. She is a young
woman and has been only recently mar
ried. She owes her life to fortunate
combination of circumstances and tc
the fact that she is not a very large
woman. After one has been through
such an ordeal as that there need mo-
be much fear of death from accident
At the last report she was doing very
well.-DaUenpOrt (Ia.) Democrst.

Removing the Capitol,


A few years ago it was the fashion among
a certain clique of politicians, whose utter
ances we're echoed by portion Of the press,
to clamor for the removal OF the Capitol
from Washington to some representative
Western city near to the geographical CEN
ter Of the country. The topic seemed to
prove a seven days wonder, however, and
was soon forgotten in the rush and require
ments OF the Nations urgent business
Now, whether the Capitol will ever be re-
moved or not is not near 30 interesting a
question to some people as whether rheuma-
tism can or will be removed from their

SCIENTIFIC NOTES.


Next TO the diamond the ruby is one
of the most remarkable stones for the
exhibition of phosphorescence under
electricity.
A road locomotive for war purposes
was lately tried in Germany before
Count Moltke. It weighed twenty
eight and three quarter tons and drew
easily forty tons weight of guns mounted
on their carriages fully equipped. Its
maximum traction power is $50 tons,
and its cost of maintenance is about
fifty cents an hour.
The effect of lightning on trees rear
telegraph wire is thus described by
French savant. The line under obser-
vation runs east and west. OF the pop
lars bordering the road, those on the
north side suffered most, those on the
other side being rarely struck. Eighty
out of 500 trees we're destroyed. The
instances multiplied with increased ell
ovation, and in the plateau at the high
est point of land, reached the maxi
mum. The injury was mostly oppo-
site and under the level OF the wires.
1t is supposed that while the wire is
strongly electrified by induction, the
lightning does not strike it, but strikes
the neighboring poplars directly, which,
wet with rain, afford an easier passage
for the electric fluid to the ground.
The impression that the northeastern
coast of the American continent is slowly
rising - the estimate of the rate of
emergency in progress being over a

in century-has recently been contro-
verted by eminent scientific authori-
ties, including DIR. Mitchell, of the coast
survey, who states that the salt
marshes are still, as they were in the
time of the early explorers at ordinary
high water level, and that the rccks on
our coast, long notorious as dangerous
to navigation, have not risen since
they were first discovered. But east
ward of longitude sixty-four degrees
thirteen minutes, and especially in
Newfoundland, great changes present

at some points less and at other points
greater than formerly.
The most extensive application OF
electricity to engineering ever made
will be the plan of Mr.. Maxim, OF New
York, for the basin around the city of
Mexico, to do which a company has
been formed, the funds raised, and the
contract signed. The plan, in brief, is
to establish on the western slope of the
mountains, where the fall is great and
rapid, number of water-wheels
sufficient to develop some 10000 horse
power, aad make them drive dynamo
electric machines of high electro mo-
tive power. The current from these
machines is to be conducted about
twenty miles to a set of electric motors
placed on the margin OF the lake. and
driving-pumps, which will require
about 1000 horse power to work them.
The water has to be raised about forty
feet to clear the ridge, but once raised
it has an uninterrupted al toward the
Pacific of several tho 2 and feet, so that
the descending water is made to keep
up the work. The whole apparatus
constitutes what Mr.. Maxim calls an
I" electric siphon." The plan will, it is
believed, succeed, and thus relieve
Mexico from the foundations that have
damaged it so much for several CEN

A Railroad Official Interviewed.

Not every one so cheerfully communi
Gates his knowlt dge and opinions as recent
ly did E L. Loweree, Esq, cashier of the
Cincinnati Southern Railway, that splendid
outlet TO the South from the Ohio. Our
representative waited upon Mr.. Loweree,
and in reply to certain questions the latter
gentleman observed: "I was suffering from
a very severe attack Of rheumatism in my
right foot; it was in a terrible condition;
the pain was almost intolerable; our family

even the twain could do nothing for me; l

he is known by everybody, Mr.. Stacey Hill,

very highly of st. Jacobs Oil, and recon-
mended the remedy to me in glowing terms.

medicine, and yet the party recommending
it, (Mr Stacey Hill, remember), being a
man OF sound judgment, set ne to thinking
the matter over. The next day, when the
physicians called, l dismissed them, and
said to myself that would let nature take
its course. That resolution lasted Just a
day. On the following morning l, in fit
OF desperation, sent a servant for bottle OF
st. Jacobs Oil. applied that wonderful
remedy, and it penetrated me so that l
thought my foot was about to fall off, but
it did not; in fact it did just the opposite.
The next morning the pain had entirely
left my foot, the swelling was reduced, and
really the appearance was so different alto
gether from the day before that it actually
surprised me. 1 applied more of the St
Jacobs Oil, and that afternoon walked
down here to the Office, and was able tc
attend to my duties and get around as well
as any one. Let me say for ST. Jacobs Oil
that it beats railroad time, and is always
sure to win. Cincinnati Enquirer.

Wolves i'm a Church.

While the inhabitants of the Spanish
village Unarre were attending a cele.
bration of midnight mass in theiI
parish church, q terrible surprise was
awaiting them outside the sacred edi
fee. During the service a pack OF
hungry wolves had gathered round the
church doors, and when these were
thrown open to let the congregation
out, the ferocious brutes, stimulated
by famine to an unusual display Of
audacity, made a desperate onslaught
upon the crowd. According to an eye
witness an indescribable panic ensued.
Men and women alike, screaming for
aid, strove to escape from their
savage assailants; several, while strug-
Cling frantically to reach the doorway,
fell down and found themselves at the
mercy of the famished wolves. The
only man who displayed any presence
OF mind was the sacristan, who con
trived to Chamber into the pulpit, and
thence initiated the barking of dog
so effectively that the invaders took
fright and fed, but not before they had
killed three of their victims and
mangied five more so horribly that
they were not expected to recover at
the time when this tragical affair was
published in the Spanish papers. Meas
ures have. been taken-somewha late
in the day as is generally the case in
the Peninsula-by the local authorities
for the extirpation of wolves through
out the districts at present infested by
those cunning and sanguinary car
