met large number of prominent men and
made brief speech. After referring mod

made by his expedition and to the part
which New-Englanders had taken in the
past in Arctic expeditions, he said: cot

After having faced death for weeks and
months, and experienced all the vicissitudes
of Arctic voyagers, we suffered as others

days on afloe in drift, thinking we should
never touch land again. Then during ter

reached the land, and then came the horri

found we were OH shore from which the

A Singular, but Authenticated Case of
Change Of Sex.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, October L.
A case of change of sex, which by rea-
son of the prominence,o of the parties has
attracted considerable interest, has Just
been made public. Mr.. John c. ,ry, of
the Gardner G Spry Lumber Company, is
a well-known, wealthy and respected
citizen. His residence is upon the
northwest corner of Looms and
West Monroe street, a fashionable neigh
borhood. His family consisted of four
girls and three boys up to about two
months ago. He now has four boys and
three girls. The eldest daughter, Miss
Eliza Spry, was married few years ago
to Mr.. John Harvey, of the firm of
Harvey Bros, C others, but Is now
q widow. The second daughter. Miss
Harriet Spry. was brought up as o
girl and considered herself as such.
Much care was spent on her training aud
education. She attended the West Divi-
sion High School, and was frequent
visitor to the Natatorium, where she was
considered an expert swimmer. Her
Po"ClAuk IAohS, oWh"Siu moNSmOus
and athletic manner excited suspicion
among her girl friends. She made
rapid and satisfactory Progress
with her stuuies. There came
a time when a manly down adorned her
upper lip. Her voice, too, deepened from
its not unpleasant contralto and was al.
ternated with the full-chest tones of Q
basso. The young women OF the school
were quick to see all these indications,
and their suspicious were aroused. The
matter was Drought to the attention Of
the teachers, and Miss Hattie was sent
home. When Miss Hattie had been home
some days she had q private and confi.
Dental conversation with her mother,
which resulted in the calling Of an emf.
uent surgeon, DIR. Moses Gum, well
known In medical circles, AMI q pre-. i'm
mary examination aud corroboratory cir
cumstances decided all parties that an
operation was necessary. When this
was concluded, Miss Harriet, now Harry,
Spry, put on q suit of her brothers
clothes, had her hair cut, bought q
razor and entered upon new career as
young man. A day or two ago, in COM
pany with his brother, he departed for 6
school for BOYS and young men Ia the
City of Boston, where ut last accounts
was prosecuting his studies diligently
aud fitting himself for the battle Of life.
A number of physicians spoken with
upon this very interesting case say there
are few like 1t on record in the book OF
medical science.

DYNAMlTERs, work.

The New Parliament Building ut Quebec
Badly Shaken by Two Explosions OF Dy.
namite-Two Men Injured But No Loss Of
Ltfe-The Shock Felt Throughout the
CITY.
QUEBEC, CAM, October Il
Early yesterday afternoon an explosion
occurred at the Parliament building, de-.
stroying . considerable portion of the
masonry and windows of the new build.
ing. which Is just being rooted in. The
explosion at first was supposed to have
been the boiler of the engine used for
hosting mate. iai, but this was found not
to be the case. Neither can it be attributed
to gas. The general impression appears
to be that the explosion was caused bv
dynamite, but as none of this Ingredient
is used on the works, the mystery is w
it came there. The workmen all being
away at dinner, nobody but one man was
injured and he escaped with slight cut
from a piece of stone. The shock was
severe all over the city.
The explosion did considerable damage
to the windows in the vicinity of the
Parliament-house. Almost all the win
dows In the house itself in the section
where the explosion occurred are shat.
tered. Mertel, a workman, and Charlie.
bois, contractor, were the only persons
injured, and those but slightly. The
damage by the first explosion was a con-
siderable hoe of about twelve feet
by five wide, blown out of the wall on
bn rd
right hand entrance to the assembly
chamber, and near the place where the
speakers chair is situated. The second
explosion occurred In the northeast cor
ner. Tue stone forming he support of the
building Is badly buiged, and it Is doubt
full If it can be repaired without letting
down the whole wall. Whatever reason
there may be for wishing the destruction
of the building, there is no room
to doubt that dynamite was used. A
searching Investigation into the cause of
the explosion Is now In progress.
Everything is quiet in the neighborhood,
and section of the battery Is patrolling
the grounds about the building. The.
Government was waiting the completion
of the building to call the house together
for the dispatch. of business. The
only part of tie roof remained uufin-
ished.
Regarding the cause Of the explosion
the French employees state that the
work was done by Irish dvnamiters.
While some Irish citizens think, and
the opinion Is shared by q great many,
that the French workmen did the deed
with view of injuring the contractor,
but for what reason is not apparent,
as 1t is said the contractor and the
men are on the best terms. Serious
trouble Is feared between the French
and Irish should the accusations be car :
ried much further.
The Cabinet has decided to issue
proclama ion offering a reward of $1,000
for information regarding the authors of
the outrage. Gu rds have been placed on
all powder magazines connected with the
citadel, military stores and cartridge fac
tory.
