Death From A Peculiar Accident.

LOWELL, Mass, Oct. 7.-The death of Mary Hederman, sixteen years old, occurred last night as the result of peculiar accident She was employed by the United States Car fridge company, and on Thursday sat down in corner of the packing room to doze. Hearing foreman approaching one of the other girls threw cartridge at the sleeping girl to arouse her. The bullet became de- tached from the cartridge in it's flight and lodged in the auditory canal of the sleeping girls ear. She soon became seriously ill and when physicians probed for the bullet they found that it was imbedded in the upper part of the temporal bone so firmly that it could not be removed. She suffered in- tensely, became wildly delirious and died last night in great agony

THE ROMANCE SPOILED. Man Kills His ParamOurs Hut Lacks Courage to End His Own


 Life.
 PHILADELPHIA, Oct Richard Treike, 8 German compositor who has just completed a term in the county jail on a conviction for larceny, shot and almost instantly killed Augusta Shrieber, the wife of a friend, with whom he had been on terms of intimacy, at York avenue and Willow street this evening. From letter found in the woman's pocket addressed to her husband it appears that the pair had decided on dying together, but Treikes courage evidently failed him when it came to taking his own life. The mur- derer was under the influence of liquor at the time. but after being locked up feigned insanity and made frequent calls on the woman to come to him. The husband ot the murdered woman is an industrious man and worked as carpenter at the brewery of John F Betz & Sons.

FIGHTING FOR THEIR MONEY.
l Italian Navvfes Bound to Have Their Wages or Blood.


 Wages or Blood.
 TORONTO, Oct. 7.-The riotous spirit pro voked among the Italian railway navvies at Tamworth yesterday. has not been quieted and the foreign navvies have so often been tricked out of their hard-earned money in Canada by bogus employment agents that it was feared unless paid off to-day they will renew their attack on the villagers and con- tractors with fatal results tonight. To-day they kept pretty well to their own part of the town. The villagers fired a number of shots into the thick of the Italian mob with old muskets. It is thought that one or two of them were fatally shot, but as they will not allow anyone from the village proper to approach them no definite in formation on this point can be obtained
 The fight is now between the villagers and the navvies, the latter being enraged because the former rescued O'Brien, the contractor and employer, when they were taking him out of the village to the commons and threat ening to shoot him if he did not pay them the wages due. A small company of volun- teers is now parading the town and it is likely & company of militia will be sent to Tamworth if matters do not quiet down be- fore night. Contractor O'Brien will proba- bly get money to pay the men tomorrow. Some of the villagers are more seriously in iured than at first supposed, but none will die from the wounds received at the hands of the Italians.

Singular Experience.

a special from Great Darlington, Mass,
says:
"Egremont township is greatly excited
over the strange report which has prevailed
there for the past three days. In 1879 Miss
Estelle Newman, aged about thirty years,
OF an old, influential and at one time
wealthy family, after a long sickness with
nervous spinal complaint, to all appear
ances died The funeral, held at the local
| Methodist church, Of which she was a de-.
! voted member and the organist, was largely
attended. The deceased maiden was laid
out with all the inery which wealth could
hestow. A widowed mother and sister,
with many friends, followed her to the little
cemetery near the outskirts OF The village,
where she was laid beside her father, Her
rick Newman, WHO had died some years
before At the time Of Estelle's supposed
death and burial a young medical student
named Worth II. Wright was home from
the Albany Medical college. This DR..
Wright graduated in year or so, and be-
gan practicing medicine, but he was ad-
dic,ed to intemperancc, and one night at
Newton, Conn, be fell into the hands
roughs and was murdered. 1t is now
asserted that Wallace Wright, brother
OF DR.. Wright, says that the night Miss
Newman was buried, in company with his
brother and two other medical students
they proceeded to the cemetery and ex'
hu1ned Miss Newman's body, filling the
grave carefully as before. The remains
were placed in sack, and with good care
conveyed 10 the Albany dissecting room,
where, 10 the borrow and surprise of all,
the lady, with whom Dr. Wright had for
wears been well acquainted, was found to
be alive, and in brief period came out of
her trance. She was insane before the
trance, and so she continued. Being ten
,.ery nu:sed she so far recovered that she
was taken 80 some insane asylum of Scho
har:e county, y. Y, where she is yet alive.
She frequently speaks of DR.. Wright, now

4 CHINESE LAUNcH.-Itis is amusing to watch
the ceremonies at the launching of a Chinese war
vessel. 1t is AWAY customary before junk sails
on any voyage to sacrifice cock and sprinkle its
blood on the bows of the vessel, amid much beat
ing OF gongs But on this occasion very es-
nociul blessing is invoked the new Undertaking,
and the Court at Pekin sends its Imperial Com
mission to offer sacrifice, as the representative OF
the Emperor. Two altars are therefore, erected
on board the new ship, one to the Goddess Of the m
River. the other to the Goddess of Heaven. 10
the former are sacrificed two goats and two pigs,
and to tho later, who has less to do with the
shipping, only the heads of one pig end one goat
But quantities of joss paper. inscribed with pray,
ers for good luck, are burned on each altar, and
showers of prayers on gilt paper are thrown lnto
the sea TO propltiate the Sea Dragon. Then, amid
dea euins beating of gongs, firing of guns, shout
ing ard general uproar, the vessel glides into the
