LONDON, May 2.-lhe Prince OF Wales,
receiving an address at Oxford, yesterday,
on opening the Indian Institute, said the,
manifestations OF loyalty were more ac-
ceptable when the entire civilized world
was shocked at the series oi detestable and
cowardly outrages which happily were
almost unprecedented in history. The
Prince to-day laid the memorial stone at
the Institute with Masonic rites.

According to his statement be and DR.
Meyer have been intimate for some time.
A few weeks ago the doctor suggested that
they enter into partnership to conduct a
very profitable business. Bretz was willing
to increase his worldly goods, and asked
bis friend to unfold his scheme. 1t was
with some hesitancy that the physician did
It, but after a little diplomacy he said they
would leave Chicago and go to Colorado.
The plan proposed was to start an immoral
institution. The willy physician spoke
glowingly OF the rich returns from such an
Investment. The pleasures to be pur.
chased when wealth had been attained
would more than compensate for the
shame experienced in attainingit. Besides
gold did not become stained by reason OF
its being bartered for virtue. Brelz asked
for little time for reflection, and, proba.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT.
A Lady Caught BY the head Between an
Elevator and the Framework.


San Francisco, CAL, May "a horribl,
accident occurred in the elevator shalt o
the Nevada Block on Sunday, resulting ii
the instant death Of lady and the serioul
injury Of the elevator boy. While midway
the elevator caught and refused to &c
either up or down. The boy opened the
sky.light and got on the top of the elevator
and intending to get the lady out managed
to get her up, and also proceeded to open
the doors leading out to the second floor.
As she stuck her head out the elevator
gave a violent jerk upward, and before she
could extricate herself or even utter a cry
her head and neck were caught between
the frame work Of the shaft and elevator.
The boy grabbed the rope, but the cage as.
cended several feet before it was stopped,
carrying the upper part Of the woman's
body with it, squeezing II into space
six inches wide. Hearing the crash
and noise, some occupants Of the
building rushed out and saw blood
dripping from the mangled corpse through
the wire framework OF the elevator shaft TO
the second floor, where 1t collected in a
large pool. The body was found with the
lower portion lying on the top Of the ele-
vator, while the shoulders. head and neck
could not be seen. The body remained
for nearly an hour in the position where
the elevator had left 1t when II tstopped,
the head being caught between the front Of
the top of the cage and the casing Of the
shaft. At last two workmen arrived, and
getting on top Of the cage pried up the
spring Of the safety latch, and the cage fell
to the floor below. An examination
showed that the neck Of the unfortunate
woman was broken. Her face was horribly
disfgured, the nasal bone was torn off and
the eyes torn out Of their sockets. So little
remains OF the features that It was impossi-
BILE 10 recognize her, and the body has not
yet been identified. The elevator Is Hick-
eley's patent, lifting and descending by
wire rope. A cog breaking in the drum
was the cause OF the accident, The boy
was badly hurt

With Machiavelisn diplomacy he felt the
moral pulse Of his confident, painting a
future OF luxury and ease. Bretz seemed
to glow in the bright vision, and with con-
summsta skill his friend traced new lines
adding beauties at every touch. Though
affected with the brilliancy OF the painting,
Brez remained inexorable and positively
declined to participate in the speculation

was to accompany Mrs. Meyer on a tiip

health. He was to be provided with
