Truth

London Truth
A sum Of 5000 has been promised for
the building of a church at Monaco. but
the bishop Of Gibralter refused 70 pro
mote the undertaking, and that populari-
ty hunter, the archbishop Of Canterbury,
approves Of his refusal It strikes me
that these two dignitaries are somewhat
leather-headed, for If the morality Of
Monaroo is injured by the gambling es-
Adjustments, surely It is sminentiY de-
sirable that facilities should be afforded
as yet untainted.

Fatal Sleep Walking.

Frank Eliason, OF SIS North Seventh
street, was awakened about 8 O'Clock
Monday morning by cries that he sup
posed came from the street. Throwing
up the window he looked out, but saw
no one. As he was about closing the
window again he heard voice above
his head cry:
"For Gods sake save me, Frank.
Looking up he saw white-robed figure
hanging from the caves and recognized
the voice as that of his sister Kate. He
called to her to hold fast, but he had
not taken three steps from the window
before she fell to the pavement, thirty
feet below. She was picked up insensi-
BILE and carried Into the house. Medi-
cal aid was summoned immediately, but
before the arrival ola physician the
young woman was dead.
An examination showed that she re-
ceived compound fracture ofthe skull.
She was about twenty-five years old,
and was the daughter Of Thomas w.
Eliason. She had been deranged for a
long time and has been subject to cpl
lsptic fits since lnfsrcy. She has eften
threatened to commit suicide, but had
never made any effort 10 carry out her
threats. She has been subject to SOM.
nambulism and it is supposed that she
reached the roof while under one Of
these spells.-Philadslphia Times.

The West Virginia Tin Mines.

1t is not generally known tina. there
are in successful operation'in West Vir-
ginis two tin mines. One Is near the
city Of Huntington, in Cabell county,
and the other about five miles from
Grantsville, in Calhoun county, on
Laurel river. Unfortunately, IL is q
considerable distance from a railroad,
and on very bad ground for hauling.
The Calhoun county mine. which 10 the
most extensive, 10 owned by State Sena-
tor Il. J. Farnsworth, Of Buckhannon,
this State, and B. Ridgeway, Of Staun-
ton, Va. Two years ago all this land
was regarded as comparatively value
less, except for the splendid timber, and
was a slow sale at afty cents an acre.
The same property Is now held at hum
dreds Of thousands Of dollars. The tin
is practically inexbaustible. The open
ing Of the mine 10 directly In the face Of
q great hill. The rock is extremely
hard, and blasting and drilling are con-
stantly necessary. The product 10 of a
blush gray color. Primitive machin-
cry for the manipulation of the ore 10 In
operation, and scores Of curious visitors
daily visit the place. P. B. Wilson, of
Baltimore, assayed the ore, an2 found
1t to contain ferty-two per ceLt. Of tin.
As soon as the necessary arrangements
can be made smelling works on an ex-
tensive scale will be erected. Eastern
capitalists own the mine i'm Cabell coun-
ty. 1t is believed that the Calhoun
county vein extends miles across the
country to the Great Kanawha river

Hand 10 Hand With a Lioness.

The great lioness in the Winter Cir
Gus at Paris attacked Edward Williams,
lion tanner, while he was putting her
through her regular performance In the
cage Monday night. The scene at once
threw the vast audience into horror.
and for while the people were SPELL
bound. Williams made most desperate
struggle, and the fight between him and
the enraged beast lasted for some min
utes, during which he was terribly lac
Grated, the lio26ss bounding about the
cage hGxiing with rage.
Fhe circus attendants who ran to
Williams assistance with iron bars and
prongs, while they finally succeeded in
saving his life, goaded the lioness to
such ferocity that her actions threw the
spectators into panic and they rushed
pell NELL from the place, the men crush
ing the women and children down and
in many cases passing over them.
During al this excitement the lion
tanner preserved his self control and
gradually nearsd the gate Of the cage,
his person torn and mangled and bleed
ing from innumerable wounds. Alta
favorable moment the door was opened
and Williams quickly slipped out and
sprung 1t behind him. The moment he
touched the ground he sank Gown from
exhaustion into prolonged swoon. He
had to be removed to hospital, where
his injuries were pronounced very
serious.

A Diamond Story.

Mr.. VIM. P. Williams, Of Chicago,
formerly of Buffalo, while engaged in
shaving on Sunday, heard something
rattle inside the handle Of his shaving
brush. The circumstance recalled the
story published In the newspapers some
years ago to the effect that quantity OF
diamonds had been Struggled Int New
York in the handles Of shaving brushes.
The rattling sound in the handle Of his
own brush led him to repeat the story
to Mr.. Z. n. Tracy, who persuaded
williams to let him break the handle
Of the brush, the latter laughingly etll-
Ing Tracy he might have half the dia-
monds he found In It. Tracy crunched
the handle under his heel, and glitter
ing among the fragments, it is said,
were two good-sized diamonds. The
"find" was divided according 10 agree
ment. All the shaving brushes in that
vicinity are being smashed up, but no
more diamonds have been found.

A sensation WAS created Wednesday

A sensation was created Wednesday
at iBowling Green, Ky, by Charles
Moore entering the house of his father,
DR.. j. P. Moore, one of the best known
and wealthlest citizens in the state, and
demanding that his aged parent sign
notes to the amount Of Sc, ITO, which he
refused to do. The young man seized
his father by the throat and choked him
severely. Releasing his hold upon the
old gentlemen's throat, he brought forth
two revolvers, which induced the father
to come to terms and sign the documents.
As soon rs he could recover he had his
son ARRESTED. Young Moore is In the
government employ at Evansville, Ind.
The father is in very feeble condition,
and refuses to prosecute his son.

Mr.. Robert Beverly, OF "ThePlains,"
FauquIer county, one Of the most sue
cessful farmers, and perhaps the largest
wheat grower in Virginia, writes to the
Baltimore Sun, under date Of March ii,
as follows:
/ "wtthiH the last thirty days have
been through every State south OF the
Potomac and Ohio rivers except Florida,
and do not think IT, possible that 20 per
cent OF wheat crop can be made In
those States. I have been 46 years a
farmer aud never saw half so poor
prospect before. The excessive drought
of last fall reduced the acreage full ~
per cent, Its continuation prevented
a great deal of the wheat from coming
up, and what did come got no root be-
fore winter; then the unprecedented
cold winter-the thermometer being
several times below zero, with no snow
on the wheat-has killed 1t as If it were
oats. Much Of 1t will be plowed up and
put In corn; much more will not make
more than seed, and l have not seen a
fell that can make so per cent. of a
crop, and this part Of Virginia is fine
wheat country, the crops around here
asst year averaging % bushels per acre."

Terror-Stricken Conyicts,

Last week when DR.. Goerssn, the
wife murderer, was hanged in Philadel-
phia, two convicts confined In the prison
were terribly affected by the knowledge
Of what was going on. One man, Jos.
Barrett. hfty-hvs years old, confined In
cell near the gallows, showed intense
interest In the hanging, but all infor-
nation was denied him. His cell was
sealed during the execution, but Bar
rett must have heard the footsteps Of the
solemn procession on its way to the gall
lows. When his cell was opened he
was found dead, and his death Is attrib-
uted to fright. The other man, Joseph
Taylor, under sentence Of death for
murder, became delirious with fear. He
heard the noise As he sat In his cell, u
few feet from where the scaffold stood.
The scho Of the falling doors had SCARCE
" died away when tho murderer,
writhing In convulsions, with bis eyes
almost bursting from their sockets, lay
on the cell floor with evsry muscle OF his
body twitching. His ct lasted aye min
utes, and was followed almost !mms-
diately by another.

The Bible upon which President
Cleveland took the oath at this inangu-
ration was one that has belonged to the
family Of President Cleveland for many
years. It is a small Bible, Of plain bind
ing, with gilded edges, about three by
i've inches In size, and Of the class that
would sell in the store for dollar or
dollar and half. There was no inten.
ton OF the Chief Justice to open the
book at any particular place, and no
desire Of President Cleveland that there
should be anything prearranged about
the ceremony In any way. The partic'
ular place where he kissed, therefore,
was the result Of accident entirely. As
the type used In the Bible is small, the
lips of the President touched five verses
of Hath Psalms, from verse 5 to verse
10, inclusive. They are as follows:
ga good man showeth favor and lend
eth: he will guide his affairs with dis
erection.
"Surely he shall not be moved for
ever; the righteous shall be In ever
lasting remembrance.
"He shall not be afraid OF evil tidings;
his heart is fixed trusting In the Lord.
ellis heart Is established; he shall not
be afraid, until he see has desire upon
his enemies.
Gle bath dispersed, he hath given to
the poor; his Righteousness endureth
for ever; his horn shall be exalted with
honor.
"The wicked shall see it, and be
grieved; he shall gnash his teeth and
melt away; the desire Of the wicked
shall perish"

Col. VIM. p. Craighill some time since
addressed a letter to the government,
asking that provision be made for
watchman to protect the beautiful gram
lite monument erected under his SUPER
vision by the United States ut Yorktown.
Va. he states In the letter that 1t Is
necessary for the government to appoint
custodian for the monument, as the
location is isolated, aud without pro-
lection this striking structure would
soon be married by relic-hunters or other
mischievous or inconsiderate persons.
The site needs care also to protect 1t
from the effects Of the weather and from
ether injuries. A balance remains OF
about IS, 564 .s6 from the appropriation
of $lOO, 900 for the monument. Photo
graphs OF this structure have just been
presented to the Maryland Historical
Society, and the monument Is pro-
nounced the most artistic and exquisite
granite monument In the world.
Americans are great relic-hunters,
and 1t is feared that unless Col. Craig
hills suggestion Is acted upon, the mon
ument will suffer, though it has an iron
railing about 1t. Years ago q marble
block was placed at Wakefield, West
moreland county, Virginia, to mark the
spot where George Washington was
born. Persons visiting the place soon
began chipping of pieces o. the stone
to carry away as mementoes. Later
larger pieces were taken as the work
of destruction advanced, and the stone
became much reduced In size. Finally
an snterprising skipper from New Jer-
sey, who sailed up and down the 20
tomac river, pried up with crowbars
the balance Of the stone and carried 1t
away on his schooner. The tree in the
neld near Charlestown, Jefferson coun-
ty, West Virginia, where John Brown
was hung, was carried away by Yis-
itors. First pieces of the trunk, limbs,
bark, and finally the roots were dug up
and taken of. Other trees In the vi
entity were next attacked, until finally
the farmers around there agreed among
themselves not to point out the locality
of the hanging to visitors, thus prevent
ing futher depredations. -Baltinors
