FIYE THousAND MES.

Notwithstanding the protection afforded by
their works, had been severe and the wounded
and dead lay thick behind the parapet, inside
the fort, and in the large buildings at the rear
which had been used as hospitals BY an un-
fortunate chance these buildings stood in direct
range Of the gunboat shells which over-shot
the fort; they had been riddled and many of
the wounded unintentionally killed. Soon
after dusk, when everything had become quiet,
two Confederate regiments, a reinforcement
from Pine Bluff, came marching in and found
themselves prisoners of war. They piled their
guns and were marched to the river bank,
venting their wrath, meanwhile, in the hard
and picturesque swearing for which Texas civ
ilization is distinguished. Next morning the
prisoners were put on board transports and
sent TO ST. Louis. A heavy detail was set to
work leyeling the fort and parapet, the case
mates and magazines were burned and blown
up, and the whole work completely destroyed.
McCLERNAND's LOSS
was about thousand killed and wounded,

Some interesting results have been
yielded by the Investigations concern
ing human growth which have been
made by n committee Of the British
Association for the Advancement of
Science. 1t is shown that growtll is
most rapid during the first iive years
OF life. when both sexes grow alike,
the boys being little taller and hcavi-
er than the girls, From FIVE to ten
the boys grow little faster, than the
girls; but from ten to fifteen the girls
grow the faster, and between the ages
OF eleven and II half and fourteen and
hait nre actually taller than the boys
while from twelve and half to fifteen
and hal! they are heavier. The boys
then take the lead, growing ut first
rapidly hut afterward slower, and
complete their growth at about the
stWenty-third year; while girls grow
very >loWly after fifteen, and reach
their full stature at about the TWEEN
tieth year. 1t is generally supposed
that grown up" people do not Increase
IN height, but these researches appear
to show that men gain slowly in
stature until their iiitieth year, and
they make a more rapid increase in
weight up to the age OF sixty. Status
ties are too incomplete to determine
the growth of women after the age of
tWenty-three

POISONED HIS PATIENT.
A Physicians Mistake Sends His
Patient to the Grave.

New YORK, Sept. 15.-Dr. Felix O'Hare
was arrested Saturday charged with poison
ing patient. On Wednesday night last
young man named Michael Lacey called up
DIR. O'Hare, and stated that he was not
well, and asked for some medicine tc
make him sleep. William Seymour,
Lacey's roommate who had accom-
panied him to the doctors Office, says
"the doctor went into side room and poured
out the medicine by the light Of a match,
and gave it, with some pills, to him, telling
me to give Lacey one teaspoonful every tw
hours" The first dose, together with two
pills, was administered as soon as they got
Lacey in his room. lacey imme
diately became unconscious, and

and when he came to the room
he trembIed all over, looked hard at poor
Mike, grabbed up the bottle of medicine,
rushed to the door and poured nearly all of
it out. Then he went to the basin and, fill
ing the bottle with water, stuck his finger in
it and tasted it. He took the bottle and the
pills away with him. Lacey was beyond hui
man aid, and died in few moments after
the doctors arrival" The coroner's investi-

WAS TT A SOLUTION?
Mysterious Murder of Woman in
Georgia,
And Remarkable Evidence Fur.
nished by a Babe - Murdered
Woman and NeW.Born Child
Similarly Marked.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 15.-About two
months ago this city was startled by report
that Mrs. Jennie Rose had been shot dead by
burglar. The family consisted of Charley
Rose, his wife Jennie, who was an invalid,
and Miss Nancy Frazier, a cousin OF Mrs.
Rose, who was in the house as help. Miss
Frazier stated that she was awakened by the
sharp report of pistol; that as her eyes
opened figure rushed by her, blowing out
the light as he did SO, and, jumping out of
window, escaped. Arising from the bed, shs
went to the bedside Of Mrs. Rose, and placing
her hand upon that lady's head, she was
shocked to feel the clammy touch of human
blood. Mrs. Rose uttered ooh! OIL" and ex-
pired. The bullet had entered her eye, and
passing through the brain, lodged in the
head. The husband, who was an employee Of
the Air lime road, was sent for but mani
tested no surprise when shown the dead body
of his wife.
As daylight appeared and people began to
talk, there We're those who discredited the
theory of burglary. There We're many rea-
sons rendering the burglar theory improba
BILE. Suspicion naturally fell upon the hus-
band and upon Miss Frazier. Who else could
have a motive in removing the wifea The
couple were arrested, as was also Miss Suggs,
with whom it was claimed that Rose had
been intimate. Both girls denied bitterly
that they knew anything of the affair. After
q series of examinations, running into weeks,
attended with many dramatic episodes, Rose
was dismissed. So far the character of Miss
Frazier had not been successfully attacked,
nor was any improper intimacy with Rose
established Still public opinion insisted that
Rose and Miss Frazier had conspired to re-
move the woman who stood in the way OF
their desires.
One night last week Dr. Carter was hur.
riedly called for to attend patient. On
reaching his destination he found young
woman who was suffering fearful convul
sions in childbirth. The doctor did all he
could to relieve the sufferer. When the child
| was born it was found to have one eye, the
place where one eye should be having only
the appearance of a deep bullet wound
| In few minutes the child died.
| The mother still suffered, and her
condition resisted all remedies, and at
| o'clock next morning she died also, and in the
| evening mother dschild were both buried
in the same rude coffin. The woman was
Miss Nancy Frazier, whose death without
telling the story of her friends murder yet
| furnished full evidence Of the moving cause
thereto. Rose is still in the city, and, upon
being asked concerning it, simply answered
~ will say nothing. I have had enough
| trouble about it" 90

brick court house; three brick business blocks
and over 800 wooden buildings, involving an

here for iron work, and a foundry and ma
chine shop which could make cast pieces Tor
buildings, breaking plows for the farmers, and
do repair work on implements and steam
boats, would do very profitable business.
