Terrible Deed Of an Insane Mother.
PHILADELPHIA. June


A special to the Press from Carlisle says
that the people of the little village of Hunts
vile, III Penn Township, LuZerne County,
were Mortified Friday morning by the infor-
nation that Mrs. Martin Douglas and her
three children were lying dead in their house
with their threats cut from ear to ear. Mar
tin Douglas is young aboring man, and
works at Pine Grove Furnace, probably five
miles or so from his home. His custom has
been to go to work Sunday evenings, work
all the week, and return to his family on
Saturdays.
His children were all small, tine oldes.
being five years and the youngest but six
months old, and they and their mother were
the only occupants of the house, but, as Mrs.
Douglas parents lived near, and her mother
was frequently back and forth, it was
thought entirely safe for the husband to re-
main away all the week. Some months ago,
however, the family physician thought he
noticed symptoms of insanity in Mrs. Doug
las, and so informed the woman's husband
and also her parents, but they saw nothing
wrong in the woman'S conduct, and paid
little heed to what the doctor said.
Thursday evening Mrs. Douglas mother
was to see her, remaining until about nine
o'clock, the children having been put to bed
before she left. Report says she saw moth
ing in her daughters actions to cause any
suspicion that she was not in her right mind,
or entirely safe to leave alone with her little
children. Friday morning no one appearing
outside the Douglas house for so long the
neighbors became suspicious that there was
something wrong and Mrs. Douglas mother
went to inquire. Upon entering the house
most horrible sight met her gaze. There
lay the three small children in the bed
where she had seen them put to their slum-
hers the evening before, but their Threats
were cut and their innocent lives were gone.
On the floor lay her daughter, the mother of
The three lifeless children, with her throat
cut and gashed in a manner that is sickning
to relate, and near her lay the razor with
which the bloody work was done.
The most plausible theory is that the
mother, in an overpOwering fit of insanity,
committed the shocking deed, though some
persons are half inclined to think some one
else might have done it. Justice-of-the-
Peace Null held an inquest, and verdict
was rendered that the mother had killed the
children and then taken he own life.

Wrecked Mt Sea.

CAPE MAY, N. j., June6.
The schooner Fannie A. Bailey, Captain
Manson Hume, Jr., came ashore in a thick
fog on the north bar of Hereford Inlet at
4:30 o'clock on Tuesday morning. The YES
sci left Windsor, n. S., fifteen days ago,
with cargo of three hundred and seventy
tons of rock plaster consigned to Phil
adelphia. The thick weather and south
winds were encountered during the passage
down the coast, the land being hidden
entirely the greater part of the time. Some
time on Monday evening Barnegat light was
sighted, after which the fog settled and OBJ
structed the coast. At 80 the next morn
ing the lookout reported breakers ahead.
In another minute the afterpart of the vessel
thumped upon the sand and Immediately she
bulged and commenced to show signs of
going to pieces. The weather was so thick
that the Captain could not tell where she
was, and consequently cOuldnot decide as to
what course to pursue.
Hastily gathering in the ships papers,
which he afterward lost in his struggle with
the waves, the Captain ordered a boat low
cred. Into this were lowered all but the
Captain and one sailor, and the boat was
dropped astern to wait the lifting of the fog.
Ere many minutes the heavy sea capSlZed
the boat, and all, including the Captains
wife and only son, a boy of three years,
were thrown into the sea. The now
almost distracted husband and father
lowered the only remaining boat and
succeed in getting the unconscious wife and
child into it, at the same time throwing
line to the unfortunate steward, who was
struggling with the waves. The poor fel-
low, however, was too much exhausted to
use it. The next wave capsized this boat
and the only means of succor remaining
was.the line in the hands Of the man who had
not left the vessel. With this the Captain
reached the schooner, bearing in his arms
the almost lifeless form of his wife.
At eleven O'Clock Captain Holmes, of Life
Saving Station IS, and Captain Ludlam, of
Station sc, manned the surf-boat and brought
the saved to the beach. The crew consisted
of Captain Hume, F. Bruce (mate), Thomas
Shields and Harry Huling (steward), Harry
Worden and Charles Daley, who were
drowned. Harold, the Captains son, was
also lost, but the mother was saved. The
vessel was nineteen years old, and hailed
from Portland, Me.

Production Of Gold and SILVER In tho
United States for the Year 1882.

The yield of the mines of the United
States for the year 1882 was $50, 5000 in
gold and SAG, $4,000 in silver. Compared
with the previous year, this shows decline
of So 200, 600 gold and an increase of $780,
600 in silver. The comparative decline in
the production of gold was greater in Cali
fornia than in any other State or Territory,
the yield being 81, 400, 600 less than in 1881.
This resulted from the interruption OF ny
draulic mining in some northern and middle
counties, owing to litigation, and from the
falling off in the production of the quartz
mines at Bodie. In Oregon, Nevada, Idaho,
and Dakota there was also falling off. In
silver the principal increase was in Idaho,
Montana, and New Mexico. of the bull
lion production of the country, $4,000, 95s
in gold and S31 400, 792 in silver were de-
posted at minis and assay offices for coin
age or return in bars to the depOsitOrs.
OF the gold deposits, $1,000, 900
were paid in bars for manufacturing
purposes, and the remainder went into
coinage. OF the total silver production,
SIS, $50, 900 was exported, So, 1874 900 fur
nished by minis and assay offices to manu-
facturers, $3.50, 600 by private refineries for
the same purpose, and 1874, zoe, 900 used in
coinage. During the year there was a
greater decline in the amount deposited at
the minis and assay offices than the differ
ence between gold production OF 1881 and
1882, but there was larger amount OF gold
consumed by the mechanical industries OF
the country The amount Of silver deposit
ed at the mints and assay Offices increased
about $500, 900. which corresponds close
ly TO the increased production of the year.

The City Of Council Bluns, Ia, Visited by
Terrific Rain Storm - Prominent
Streets Converted Into Roaring Torrents
by the Overflow Of Creek-Many Peo-
pie Believed To BE Drowned-Property
Loss Large.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, June 2.
At six O'Clock last evening one of the
worst rain-storms that ever visited this Vi
entity set in, and for four hours poured
down in torrents. Indian Creek, which
iuns through the heart of the city, over
flowed, and the damage from the same is
roughly estimated at $780, ZOO. Seven iron
bridges and two stone culverts be-
longing to the city were swept away, as were
also several dwellings and barns along the
creek. All the business houses on Main
street and Broadway are flooded. Loss of
life is reported. The water in the streets
one block from the creek was waist deep,
with a swift current. Cries for help could
be heard in every direction, but the swift
ness of the current rendered assistance inn
possible. Particulars are very difficult to OBJ
tain tonight. AT twelve O'Clock it was still
raining. 1t is the most terrific rain-flood
Western Iowa ever experienced. The storm,
which set in about six O'Clock, was heavy
shower, but no citizen for moment realized
the devastation that has followed. The creek
divided the city, and the food rose so
quickly that many men found it impossible
to reach their wives and children, and a
number narrowly escaped death from drown
ing while endeavoring to reach their dear
ones. The mourning in the city is universal,
and the destruction Of property widespread.
A local newspaper in referring to this great
element visitation to our city says: 1.-THE
most frightful calamity occurred last even
ing at six O'Clock. There had been threat
enings of rain during the entire day, with
occasional showers, but when even
ing came it seemed as though the
very heavens fell. A dark cloud
swept around to the eastward and dis
charged its torrents at the head waters of
Indian Creek, and the maddened flood with
constantly increasing volume poured through
Council Bluffs sweeping bridges and cul-
verts from one end of the stream to the 9TH
er. Many buildings were swept away. All
that part of the city lying between the bluffs
and Broadway on the north was inundated
by the rushing and seething waters.
The sight was awful. To add to the
horrors of the situation, the loss of life
is feared at this writing to be large.
as numerous instances of drowning have al
ready been reported. At midnight rain was
still falling, although the creek seemed to
have spent its fury. The water in the west
ern and southern parts of the city was rap
idly rising, and many people were compelled
to take boats and escape. Facts as to the
amount of devastation by the storm are i'm
possible to give at this hour, but the loss to
the city alone will be hundreds of thousands
of dollars, besides that of private individ-
uals.

Few occupations are more pleasant
or instructive during the spring and
summer months than insect-collecting
The eve is thereby trained to observe
and appreciate the beauty which nature
has SO lavishly bestowed on these Great
ures of day. The first rule IN collect
ing is to catch your insect. Certain
insects, such as the beetles, may be
easily caught by the hand. but for the
capture of winged insects. like the but
terflies, net is necessary. This may
be made in the following manner:
Bend piece of medium-sized wire
(the length will depend on the size of
the metz in the form of a circle, with its
two ends at right angles to the circum-
ference and in the same plane with it.
For handle select round piece of
wood-a broom handle will answer, but
something not quite SO heavy is better
cut on opposite sides of it, at the end,
two grooves to receive the bent ends of
the wire. and then bind the wire to the
handle with stout string. The string
holds the wire to the handle and the
grooves prevent it from slipping out of
its place.
The net is made of mosquito netting;
it is shaped like bag and sewed to the
wire frame.
The insects, VIXEN captured. may be
treated as follows: Beetles should be
put into small. wide-necked bottle
filed with alcohol. Drop the beetle
into the alcohol, cork the bottle, and
he will give you no more trouble.
The simplest way to dispose of butter
flies is to carry a small bottle of chloro-
form or of ether, and a camel's-hair
brush. With it apply drop of the
liquid to the head of the insect, and he
will rest quietly. As the color of some
green insects, such as the grasshopper,
is changed by immersion in alcohol,
they should also be etherized.
One thing more must be attended to
and then the collector may hasten to the
fields in search of his game. A collect
ing-box, in which to pin the butterflies
after they have been caught and killed
by the chloroform or ether, is necessary.
Ii possible thin sheet of cork, or even
sections of ordinary bottle cOrks, should
be glued to the bottom of the box in
O.uef W Hoiu tic pms hAhh TOt piHS
the long, slender, so-called entomolo-
gists' pins, sold at natural history stores,
are to be preferred, but ordinary pins Of
large size may be used.
A couple of strips of leather glued to
the outside of the collecting box will be-
found useful for fastening it to the waist
of the collector by means of belt, book
strap, or stout cord. Experience will
soon teach where the best collecting
places are to be found.
On returning home from collecting
excursion, the insects should be pre-
pared as soon as possible for the private
museum. The beetles require but slight
preparation. Remove them from the
bottle and pin them through the right
wing-cover, but not in the middle of the
back. If, as often happens, the legs of
the insect are cramped under the body,
draw them out and extend them as they
appear when the insect is walking, Sc
curing them by pins until the insect is
dry and stiff, when the pins may be re-
moved and the beetles placed in the col
lection Youths Con,panioil
