They Let the Safe Drop.

A large two and one-half ton safe was being hoisted to the third story window of No. 30 Broadway. 1t had reached a level with the window when one of the workmen, in endeavoring to give the safe sufficient momentum to slide easily into the window, had his hand caught in one of the pullies, and it was badly crushed. He shrieked, and the other workmen rushed to his assistance. In order to save the mans hand it would be necessary to sacrifice the safe. Warning was given to those standing on the paye- ment and the rope was cut, while the workmen held the man. The safe fell to the sidewalk, breaking through the pavement into the cellar below and crushing the flooring of the cellar. The safe was injured but slightly. The workman's hand was dressed.-M F.

Stories of the Cyclone.

Remarkable stories are told of the last cyclone in Georgia. in Chipley, when Mrs. Lanford was found the morning after the cyclone, she was lying amid the wreck of her home, her infant child clasped in her arms with an embrace so strong that the strength of four men was required to release the child from her grasp. Though the home of Dr. Thorn ton was scattered like chaff before the wind, his wife and babe, that was less than two weeks old, were blown some distance, and yet were left upon the feather bed without the slightest injury. MT. Irwin was quite sick in bed on the night of the storm, but when the crash came and his children were buried be- heath the timbers, he rushed amid the ruins and with superhuman strength lifted large timbers from upon them. It took four men to handle some timbers after
 ward that he had lifted alone. Mir. Lee Afford was standing against the door. his children clinging to him for protec- tion, when the winds siezed him and hurled him more than hundred yards.

TRUE TO THEIR MOTHER.
A Woman Charged with Murder and her
 Children Refuse to Testify.

A sensational scene of an unusual kind, even in Irish murder trials, occurred at Currick on-Suir, county Tipperary, Ireland. The victim of the supposed murder was Michael Blaney, of Kilcash, whose body was recently exhumed and was found to show traces of arsenic ill sufficient quantity to cause death. Suspicion rested upon the widow and she was arrested and placed on trial at Carrick- on-Suir. Her two children, of very ten der years, were produced ss witnesses, but on being placed upon the witness table they stubbornly refused to utter Nold They were threatened with imprisonment, and were evil dently much frighten' d, but threats and p,r- suaslon alike failed to elicit from them a single morsel of evidence. They were therefore com mitted for contempt of court and ordered to be kept ill confinement separate from their mother unt they purge themselves of con tempt by giving their testimony ill open court, The severity of the Judges action under the peculiar cii cumstances las caused a great sen- sation in the neighborhCod and has turned the syInpathies of the people in favor oi the widow, who has hitherto been regarded by most of the neIghbors guilty.

THE POLICY BUSINESS.
A Witness Found by the Roosevelt Cemmit-
 tee. who Makes Strange Developments.

A remarkable story concerning the policy shops of New York city in 1881 and 1882 was told 10 the New York Assembly investigating committee L. W. Clark, who was the confidential clerk of Upington, the policy man, when the raid was made on Uping- toms place by the police in 1882, was placed on the stand. He at first declined to answer any question which would tend to criminate himself, but on being assured by Chairman Roosevelt that his answers would not be used to his detriment MT. Clark said: "I was employed in 1879 in the lottery business by G. Upington, the manager for Simmons X Dickson, of the Ken lucky Lottery. In 1881 Mir. Upington an- nounced that he had formed combination with Commissioner of Jurors Caulield, County Clerk Butler, the Police Commissioners, the District Attorney
 and a number of Police Justices, by means of which, for the payment of $6,00O a month, he was able to protect the policy busi- ness from all interference by the authorities. On the strength of the arrangement which he had entered into he demanded that Simmons should give to him 50 per cent. of the profits of his business, and threatened that if he did not do so he would drive him cut of the business. Simmons investigated the matter, and, finding that Upington had really made the combina- tion he took him into partnership He said that the money was paid to police authorities
 and the policy men were protected. Tho authorities deny the charge.
