A TRAGIC EVENT.
A Fathers Despair and Self Inflicted
Death. His Sons Final Rescue, Too
Late to Save His Parents.

The graphic occurrence that is described below is
one of the most remarkable episodes in the domes-
tic history of America. 1t is absolute truth which
can be readily verified.
The inhabitants of the pleasant town of Cortland,
\. :, were shocked one morning by the announce
ment that Mr.. Clinton Rindge, one of their most
prominent citizens, had committed suicide. The
borlood where Mr.. Rindge was so well and favor
ably known At first it seemed impossible that any
one so quiet and domestic could do so rash a deed,
and the inquiry was heard on every side as to the
The facts as developed investigation
proved to be as follows:
Mr.. Rindsc domestic in his tastes and took
the greatest enjoyment in the society of his chill
dren and pride in their development. And indeed
he had good reason to be proud for they gave prom
lse Of long lives OF success and usefulness. But an
evil day came. His youngest son, w lillian, began
to show signs of an early decay. lie felt unusual
ly tired each day, and would sometimes sleep the
entire afternoon if permitted to do so. His head
panied him, not acutely, but with a dull, heavy
feeling. There was sinking; sensation at the pit
of his stomach He lost all relish for food and
much of his interest for things about him. lie tried
manfully to overcome these feelings but they seem
ed stronger than his will He began to lose flesh
rapidly. The father became alarmed and consulted
physicians to the cause of his sons illness, but
they were unable to explain. Finally severe sores
broke out ON his arms and he was taken up to But
falo where painful operation was performed, re
sultng i'll the loss of much blood but affordng lit
tie reilel. The young man returned home and Il
council of physicians was called After an eX-
haustivc examination they declared there was no
hope of final recovery and that he must die within
few days. To describe the agony which this an
nouncement caused the father, would be impossible
His mind failed to grasp its full meaning at first
en- finally seemed to comprehend ii, but the load
vas 10" great In an agony of frenzy he seized a
knife and took his own life, preferring death rather
than TO survive his idoized son. At that time vii

The Daniel Stelnmann,

The enquiry into the loss of the steamer
Daniel Stenmann of Sambro, Nova Scotia, was
held last week. The evidence was mainly
against the Captain. In his sworn statement
concerning the wreck Capt. SchoonhaVen says
he heard the fog whistle half minute before
the vessel struck, but then it was too late. He
considered the cause of the loss of the ship Ia
have been the strong current to the westward
He had oVerrun his distance and perhaps there
was some magnetic attraction which put him
further to the south than he thought to be. lie
had estimated that he five to seven miles
a>tern of the real position. Had Il gun been
fired from the island WHEN the signal men saw
him he would have kept off and saved the ship
The gunners had since told him they had in,
sfructions not to fire while the fog whistle was
in order and working
Mr.. Johnston of the fisheries and marine de
partment corroboraed this statement in regaro
to their Instructions. Had there been Il life
boat on the island they might have been warnec
of and many more lives saved.

A NEW WORK OF GREAT IMPORTANCE
JUST COMPLETED. One of the most important
works ever issued from the press in America is
the Schaf:Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious
knowledge. 1t is the joint product of 43S of
the worlds most famous scholars. Those who
know the value of such a work are jubilant
over its completion. DR.. Morgan Dix, rector
of Trinity Church, N. Y. does not overestimate
its value, when he says: "It is probably unsur-
passed by anything published up to the present
day" See the advertisement of the publishers,
Funk & Wagnalls, 10 & II Dey Street. They
are issuing very important books at very low
prices.
The New York Mail says that six brides
maids who are to assist at a fashionable
wedding in that city at Eastertde were photo
graphed sin costume" together IA few days ago.
Several large pictures are to be made, one of
which, elegantly framed, is to be presented to
the bride.
Mr.. J. n. Langston, the American Minister
at Port-au-Prince, has demanded OF the Haytlan
government the payment of 100000 us an i'll
demnity for the American losses on account of
the riots last September, or the surrender of
the Mole Saint Nicholas as a guarantee that the
money will be paid.
DR.. Salmon, veterinarian of the Department
of Agriculture, who has been investigating the
alleged outbreak of foot and mouth disease
among cattle in the West, reports that he could
not find one symptom of that disease, and that,
with one exception, the diseased animals were
suffering from dry gangrene due to ergot in
their fodder.
Within dozen years nearly 1000 lives have
been lost by shipwreck on that part of the Nova
Scotia coast where the Steinmann met her fate.
The wreck of the Atlantic, April l, 1873, alone
involved the loss of 562, and 205 persisted in the
Hungarian, Feb. 10, 1860. Some twenty-five
years ago. also, the Boston and Liverpool pack
ct S.atfordshre went down off Cape Sable. and
between 800 and 400 lives, mostly those of emf
grants were lost.

TOPEKA, KAs., December 27.-About
eight O'Clock last night fire was discov-
cred in barn used as warehouse by w.
NJ. Degnon, a furniture dealer, and for
stables. Three horses were burned and
some unfinished furniture considerably
damaged. At $3.50 O'Clock while the fire
department was still at work on the first
fire, the Santa Fe Railway'shops' whistles
announced the breaking out OF another
blaze, which proved to be in the car
shed, where several coaches were
housed. Seven cars and coaches were
burned, including pay car
which had just been refurnished, two
Horton reclining-chair cars, one mail car
and three way cars. The Presidents and
directors cars had been pulled out of the
shed only few hours before TO 90 on
trips. The losses can not be definitely
estimated. Degnon's is probably 81 900,
and the Santa Fe Roads between $780,
600 and $50, 900. The sheds were long
distance from the shops, which were not
endangered. One fireman had finger
torn off by the upsctting Of an engine.
