Be Careful.

A short time ago a young woman
residing not far from Whitby was tell
ing in a neighbours house now her hus-
band had been t1ouDfed for several days
with severe pain in his head, that she
had done everything she could think OF
80 relieve it, that even the doctors med
icine didn't seem to do any good, and
that she was about tired out. Thereupon
a new neighbor, who had just been in
troduced to her, kindly asked if she had
tried'soaking his feet in mustard and
hot water. Greatly to the astOnish-
ment of the woman who had male the
suggestion, the wife turned upon her
like.a tigress. .'Insult my affection,
will you, you shameful hussy." gasped
the wife of the sick man, working her
fingers convulsiYely, her blood rifing
to boiling heat and her voice getting
higher and higher. The hostess at this
point interposed in the defense of the
new neighbor. and quiet was finally re-
stored. After the wife had retired, and
explanations were entered into, it ap-
peared that some years before the sick
husband had been deprived of both his
legs by piece of machinery, and there
had been story that his present wife
married him for his money. People

Immediately after being transferred
to the stock yards. The soap fac
tories are 0yerstocked with car
cases of steers, hogs and sheep,
bought at prices ranging from ten cents to
fifty cents head. On Saturday night an
Efie train load of cattle arrived at Hoboken
too late for transfer by bUat and they re-
manned iii closely packed cars until Monday
morning without food or drink, suffering
terrible agony. When unloaded forty per
cent of the cattle were dead or dying,
while the living were in such state OF
fever as to render them unfit for beef until
cold weather. Two cars OF the train were
closely packed with calves, hogs and sheep.
The sight was atrncious, while the cries of
distress from the tortured animals made spec
tators turn away. From the mouths of the
calves and sheep hung tongues swollen and
blackened, while the hogs were being inter-
tally killed by the melting Of their own
fat. All day long the sun beat down upon
the wretched animals, and the neighbour
hood of the cars heard little save pitiful
walls. Only nineteen animals out of tho
two ar-loads lived to be unloaded Monday
morning. Henry Bergh will investigate

Two Men Killed by the Cars.

P. Humbsrt and James r. Fisher were
killed the other afternoon by the outward
bound Madison passenger train from Mil
waukee on the Chicago &c Northwestern
Railway. The accident occurred at the
GAINESVILLE plank-road crossing, south of
Milwaukee. Humber5 was instantly killed.
Fl her lived until he reached the city.
The train was backed to the city, bearing
the two bodies. Mr. Humbert was one of
the most noted sheep breeders of the coun'
Try. His name and focks are known from
Vermont to Cali ornia. He was about fif-
ty-6ve years old at the time of his death.
Mr.. Fisher had arrived in the city on the
previous night and was on his way to visit
his brother. Both were wealthy men. At
the scene of the accident the turnpike runs
through deep cut, while the track makes
a sharp bend. The men, who were on a
load of coal, appeared to have heard the
approach of the train, while owing to the
nature of the ground, the engineer could
not see the team until he was within few
feet of it. Both horses were also killed.

Offers to Go Over the Falls.


BUFFALO, N. Y, Sept. 15.-Oliver War
mold, a fresco-painter, offers to go over
Niagara Falls in q rubber ball fifteen feet in
diameter for the sum Of 50, 900. Within the
ball will be sufficient space for the adjust
ment of an apparatus which he claims will
keep him in an upright position while the
ball is in motion. 1t will consist of three
fourths of an inch rubber, covered with q
close braiding of tarred rope SO as to pre-
vent injury to the rubber, should the sphere
strike the rocks; but this precaution is
scarcely necessary, as Mr.. Warmold claims
that the ball will receive sufficient moment

Faster Mail Service to Europe Wanted.

WASHINGTON, Sept. lO.-One of the
questions which will come up for considera-
ton at the forthcoming international Post
al Convention will be the inadequate
service between England and the United
States. An effort will be made to
force upon the British post-otfice the
adoption of the American system, which
is in brief to forward the transatlantic
mails, not by the first, but by the fastest
steamer leaving port Under existing ar
rangements the English mail is carried by
contract by three lines, the Cunard, White
Star and Inman. 1t is claimed that neither
of these companies has five ships among
them which can compete with the thrice that
number of vessels belonging to the outside
lines, and that frequently fast ships of the
Anchor National and Guion lines, leaving
Southampton two, three and even four
days behind the mall-carrying vessels, arrive
in New York at the same time. To effect
a change in this regard will be one of the
principal duties ofthe American representa-.
