four daughters, a daughter of Francis White OF
Baltimore Miss Lewis, daughter of Mrs. +
L. Lewis of Boston, and Miss X. c. Pierce OF
Boston. They had been at Deer Harbor for sew
eral weeks, and yesterday took a cruise IN Il large
yacht, the NirVana. They landed at Northeast.
Harbor, where they were met by a blackboard
from Bar Harbor. On their return in the even
ing, when on the brow of the hill, near the new
residence of President Elliott, the rocker pin
broke, letting the blackboard slide forward over
one of the front wheels, frightening the horses,
which ran away with the pole and whitf1etrees,
and the board holding the party. The strain
when the bolt broke turned the horses toward
the right, dashing all the occupants with terrific
force against the rocks. Miss Mabel Case had
her neck broken, and sustained other injuries
sufficient of themselves to have killed her. She
died in less than three-quarters of an hour.
Miss White had her arms broken in sew
ernl places and her waist crushed. MIR. Case
was severely cut about the head and body and
injured about the knees. Miss Pierce was also
injured in nearly the same manner. The other
three daughters of Mr.. Case were injured severe
Iy about the head and body. Steward Dow, the
driver, was also seriously injured, and, like the
others, chiefly about the head.

The French in N ,dagasear.

Ii telegraphic reports are to be trusted, the
French have displayed anything but good sense
and courtesy in Madagascar. Mr.. Gil adstone
always speaks on international affairs with so
deep a sense of responsibility that his speech in
the House of Commons last week not unnatu-
rally moved English feeling very deeply, and
awakened apprehensions in regard to the rela-
tons of England and France. 1t appears that
VIXEN the French occupied Tam atave, the foreign
consuls and residents, in gross contempt of in
ternational usage, were treated as public enc
mics and ordered to leave in twenty-four hours.
ousIy i'll but Admiral Pierre, the French COM
mander, made no exception in his favor, and
even went so far as to arrest his secretary in his
presence. The illness of the Consul was so ag-
gravated in consequence that he died within a
very few hours. All communication from the
British man-of-war in port was stopped the
flags of the foreign consuls were hauled down
an English missionary named Shaw was arrested,
and still remains in prison on charges which
have not been made public subsequently an
English steamer was boarded at Tamatave and
the passengers forbidden to go ashore. Several
other arrests are reported. The French Minis
ter of Foreign Affairs has made a pacific speech,
with promise of due reparation if the facts re-
quire it. Both at home and abroad it is the mis-
fortune of the French Republic to be served by
men whose methods are anything but republic
can,-TNeW York Post.

dictments were two against James Harkins-one

ing bail for parties heretofore arrested for SNUG
Cling. O'Bierne is United States Court Commits
sioner, which position he has filled for a number
Of years past. The evidence brought to the at
tention Of the Grand Jury shews that for a long
time he has been in collusion with smugglers,
and has accepted hush money from Harkins. 1t

implicated, and that further developments of a
startling nature may be expected. The number

a tinv skull, as thin and bleached as paper.
ONLY four inches of earth had covered it. 4
few inches further down another skull and more
tiny ribs and leg bones were found. The hole
was deepened and wideued, and the CHASTITY
work went on, till tweuty-one murdered babies
were disclosed. Then the men FASTENED to re-
port to the Chief OF Police, who informed the
Coroner. Deputy Coroner Powers went to the
house and took charge of the remains. \
CHASTITY story is told to the effect that Hathaway
kept voracious dogs in the cellar, which he
often fed on the bodies of children. Hathaway
had been known to the police for years, and is
said to have been a common thing for carriages
to deposit richly dressed women at his door, who
were not seen again for weeks.
CAPTAIN WEBB.
A gentleman from New York, wh) is at
present visiting San Fr1nrisro for his health. in
formed a Call reporter tr4t he was well ac-
quainted with Capta.n NJ Few Webb, who lost
his life in the ~foolhardy attempt to swim across
the Niagara river above the falls. When be first
knew Webb he was a common sailor on the
Cunard steamship Russia, and his first remark
able swim was when a passenger fell overheard
on one of her outward trips, a few years ago \
lumpy sea was running at the time. Webb, who
was always a daring fellow and ii very muscular
man, as well as an expert swimmer, sprang over
board instantly, swan to the sinking passenger,
and after a hard struggle brought him aboard
the slowed steamer-winning thereby the plaudlts
of every one on board, together with a handsome
purse contributed by the passengers. lie subSe-
quently received a medal for this heroic act from
the British Admiralty. Webb soon after re,
signed the Cunard service, and has since occu-
pied himself with giving exhibitions of his skill
as a swimmer in Southern Europe, the United
States and Canada. Several times he was pitled
against the famous Paul Boyton, with his rubber
suit and paddles. One of Captain Webb's great
swims was in July. 1881, from Sandy Hook 10
Marshaltown Beach Hotel, Coney Island (Outer
entrance to New York harbor). The Captain
came out in excellent condition, amid the cheer
ing OF an excited crowd from all parts of New
York and New Jersey, estimated at from 30 900
to $4,000 people. With regard to his last and
fated swim, his friend said he could not conceive
what tempted a man of such ordinary good judy
ment and discretion to undertake a feat which
every man who has visited the Niagara whirlpool
must consider an utter impossibility to ac-
complish. From his personal acquaintance
with him, he could say that Captain Webb was a
kind, social, genial, popular man-aslde from his
fame as a swimmer, and one beloved by all
and excellent disposition. tie was an English
man by birth, and leaves a wife and two small
children in England.

ing on information which he had received from
a step-son of DIR. Hathaway. the Chief of Police
detailed detectives Miller and Wolf 10 60 to
Hathaway's late residence and make a thorough
examination, Armed with picks and spades, the
detectives went TO the house, and having ex-
planned their mission to the present occupants,
began digging in the cellar, and before they
stopped had turned up the bodies of tYenty-one
murdered children. Mary Butler. . servant,
when she thought she was about to die, con-
fessed to a physician in March, 1881, that Hath
away had been guilty of malpractiYe in her case,
She had visited i'm on the advioe of DIR. 7, B.
Miller, once a prominent Methodist preacher,
and subsequently dean of a bogus medical coll
lege. At the inquest on the body of Mary But
lers infant, the jury found that Hathaway had
been guilty of malpractice, and that Miller was
an accessory before the fact. While under bail
both men fed. Mary Butler recovered and dis
appeared, and Miller and Hathaway finally VEN
tured to return. Mrs. Hathaway's son by a for
mer marriage was heard to remark when Hath
away was arraigned In court that he could make
startling disclosures abont Hathaway's career at
No. 2, 243 North Fifth street, il he chose. This
was reported to Assistant District Attorney
Breezy the matter vas followed up, aud the
young man finally induced to tell all he knew.
Thus the horrible discovery was brought about.
When the detectives with their informer went to
the house, the latter said oIf you will dig
under the steps leading into the cellar you will
come upon a pile of bodies" Only a few spade
fuls of earth had been thrown up when detective
VOLTS implement struck something that made a
grating sound. The spade had crushed through
slender, thread-like bones, and had encountered

Education for Boys.

A new school, supplementary to
the ordinary grammar school, and
an improvement on the ordinary
high school, has been projected, to
be located at Lawrenceburg, N. j.,
to be endowed and sustained by the
wealth of the late John G. Green, of
the above place, a village on the
main road between Trenton and
Princeton, N. j. The design is to
provide accommodations and tut
ton for boys in imitation of the
famous English schools of Elton and
Harrow. The architects designs in
clude large main building, a
chapel, five masters houses, the
head masters house, a central dor
mitory, and gymnasium, togeth-
er with gas, steam, bath and play
houses, and a laundry. The ac-
commodations are intended for
school of 200 or 800 boys. Mr..
Frederick Law Olmsted has been
employed to take charge of the
landscape gardening,
The amount of the fund devised
by the founder is not onlysufficient
to provide for all the initial equip
ments, but will include aid to indi-
gent students, while those of tried
scholarship and character will
have their tuition RENTED. About
thirty of the most prominent stu
dents will also receive annual
scholarships, sufficient. with econ
omy, to maintain them in their
studies. Each one of five assistant
masters will have a cottage on the
grounds large enough for the ac-
commodatlon of his family and of
twenty pupils. By this scheme of
boarding the home life of the boys
will be continued, and the usual
practice of herding great Numbers
in dormitories, under the supervi-
sion of tutors, will be done away

He Knew it All.

He always did. No one could
teach him anything. The first
words he lisped when a baby were,
"Oh, yes l know" The first words
he will speak when death ushers
him into the Presence where the
eternal glories are revealed, will be,
eyes? yes! l understand" He
never opened his eyes with wonder.
He never asked troublesome ques-
tions. When boy neither father
nor mother could teach him any
thing. He would rather any day
pound his fingers than suffer his
father to tell him how to drive
nail. He could milk the cow better
than the hired man; and was not

Go East Young Woman.

DR.. Mary Howard, an American
woman doctor, is creating quite a
stir in social life in China. She
attended the mother of Prince LII,
Hung Chang, and although she
did not save her life, she showed so
much skill that she was called in
to treat the wife of the great Minis
ter. From all parts of North China
letters from the wives of mandarins
and high officials are pouring in
on her, entreating her to come to
them or to 'send other wise women
from America" Eastern women of
rank die with obscure diseases
rather than submit to operations
performed by male surgeons. An
American physician who spent
some time in Turkey was called in
to prescribe for the wife of the Bey
i'll with typhoid fever. The patient
was wholly covered with sheet in
which one hole was cut large
enough for him to put his fingers
in to feel her pulse, and another
through which she thrust her
tongue. DR.. Howard has been
loaded not only with fees by her
grateful patients, but jewelry, fur
niture and priceless curiosities
enough to stock a bric-a-brac ware
house, Go East, young woman, go

Rich Mems Sons in College.

The frequency with which rich
mems sons Flower the standard OF
scholarship" in our colleges, and
increase the difficulty of admins
tering college discipline, ought to
teach their parents, if not them
selves, a healthy lesson. Most rich
parents are ambitious for their sons
success. They do not want them
to ego to the bad" Yet in the
face of all experience they take
the most direct course to render sue
cess problematical. Why SO law
ishly supply these young men with
the means of self-indulgence
Parental pride no doubt has
much to do with it; but it is a
sadly mistaken pride. The parents
want to have their boy to shine
among his fellows-to maintain a
state suited to his condition.
They yield to his natural desire
for display, and in affording him
the means for gratifying this desire
they unwittingly put a snare to
his feet, and provide not only for
failure on his part to fulfil their
fond expectations, but too frequen-
tly for lifelong sorrow.-Eaans-

Five Steps.

A little sip of cider,
A little sip of beer;
A taste that's rather bitter,
But what is there to feare
A glass of foaming lager,
A choice perfumed cigar;
Its funny what fanatics
Those temperance people are.
Say, boys, here's to our welfare
May none here lack dime
To buy a glass of liquor
At any other time.
Say, can't you trust fellow?
Give us a drop of gin
To stop the dreadful gnawing
That's going on within.
Found dead--a common drunkard
Alas! how came he there?
1t was the beer and cider;
Beware! beware! beware!
