TERRIBLE ACT OF A MOTHER.
She Throws Her Little Children Into
the River to Drown,
And Then Follows Them to Meet the
Same Fearful Fate.

READING, Penn, May ia terrible
and revolving tragedy took place, late
this afternoon, near Bititz, Lancaster
county, about twenty miles from here.
Hiram PlautZ IL respectable labOring-
man residing near that place. His fam
ily consisted of himself, wife, and five
small children, the latter ranging in age
from one to twenty years. For some
time past, Mrs. Pfautz has showed signs
of weak-mindedness,b but not to such an
extent az to cause apprehension among
her friends. She had been giving much
of her time to the consideration of re-
ligious matters, had read the Bible
through and through, had become con-
verted, and often remarked to friends
that the world was becoming too wicked
to live in.
While her husband was at work, to-
day, she called her five children around
her, prepared their toilet, dressed them
i'm their best and took them out for a
walk. She chose a secluded pathway,
and finally arrived at the edge of the
mill pond, at what is known as Blink
ley's mill. On the way, she carried the
baby in her arms. Standing on the
euBt vi tliC uhih, BIC CihuIdCCu dhti
then kissed each affectionately, after
which she took the eldest, a boy, and
threw him far out into the stream; then
the next two in the order of their ages,
and finally taking the baby, aged one
year, under one arm, and the fifth, a
sweet-faced little girl, aged three years,
under the other, she knelt on the bank
for moment, uttered silent prayer
and then cast herself and last tW o child
rem into the stream.
Some men who were working in the
mill ran to their rescue, but when they
arrived all had sunk for the last time.
Several expert swimmers were among
the party, and they jumped in and
brought the bodies to shore one by one.
They were laid on the green grass, side
by side, not exhibiting signs of life.
Neighbors were at once summoned, and
they set to work to resuscitate them.
After tedious work, the three eldest
children were resuscitated, but the
mother and two youngest children were
already dead. The entire village has
been thrown into mourning. Mrs.
Pfautz was about forty years of age.

WONDERFUL DISCOVERY.
A Buried City Said to be Found in
Missouri.

The city of Moberly, Missouri, is STIR
red up over the discovery of wonder
full buried city, which was discovered
at the bottom of a coal shaft $50 feet
deep, which was being sunk near the
city, A hard and thick stratum of lava
which arches in the buried city, the
streets of which are regularly laid out
and enclosed by walls of stone, which
are cut and dressed in a fairly good
style of masonry. A hall 80 by 100
feet was discovered, wherein were stone
benches and tools of all descriptions
for mechanical service. Further search
disclosed statues and images made of
composition closely resembling bronze
lacking lustre. a stone fountain was
found, located in wide court or street,
and from it stream of perfectly pure
water was flowing which upon being
tasted was found to be strongly i'm
pregnated with a limestone taste.
The most wonderful of all, was lying
beside the fountain, being the portions
of skeleton of a human being. The
bones of the leg were measured, the
femur measuring four and one-half
feet, the tibea four feet and three
inches, showing that when alive the
figure was three times the size of an
ordinary man, and possessed of a
wonderful muscular power and quick
ness. The head bones had separated
in two places, the sagittal and the
coronial suturis having been destroyed.
The implements found embrace
bronze and flint stones, stone and
granite hammers, metallic saws of rude
workmanship but proved metal, and
others of similar character. They are
not so highly polished, nor SO accurate
ly made, as those now finished by our
best mechanics, but they show
skill and an evidence of an advanced
civilization that are positively wonder
full. The searching party spent twelve
hours in the depths, and only gave up
explorations because of the oil in their
lamps being low. No end to the
wonderful discovery was reached. The
facts of the above are vouched for by
Mr.. d. Coates, the recorder of the city
of Moberly, and Mr.. Geo. Keating, city
marshal, who were of the exploring
party. A further extended search will
be made in day or two

The artists who have been pursuing
"a Wild Goose Chase" along the shores
of the Baltic and through the pages OF
Harper's Magazine, will accomplish
descent" in the forthcoming June
issue, with some account of North Jut-
land, quaint German province near
Hamburg. This is called Vierlande
("Four-lands"), the little province, of
only forty square miles, being COM
posed of four polders, or lake-beds,
separated from each other and protected
from the Elbe by great dikes. The cos
tunes and customs are old. fashioned
and most curious, and the general sta
bility is illustrated by the fact that the
principal inn at Bergedorf, the chief
town, has been kept by one family for
two hundred and fifty years. "Ifa Gar
den of Eden can exist in that latitude, -
says Mr.. Frank d. Millet, who writes
the article, "Vierlande certainly has
superior claims to that title"

The king of the Belgians, who has
just celebrated the completion of his
fiftieth year, may be said to enjoy one
almost unique distinction among the
reigning princes of Christendom. Born
heir apparent to the crown, he sue
ceeded a father who died natural
death at good old age and in secure
possession of his scepter. The king
of Italy was seventeen years old
before a kingdom of Italy ex-
listed. The king of the Greeks is the
founder of dynasty. The Car as
cended the throne of a murdered prede-
cessor. The emperors of Austria and
Brazil derived their titles, in the first
instance, from 'acts of abdication" in
their favor consequent upon revolu-
tions. The kings of Prussia, Sweden,
and Portugal all started in life as
younger sons, the King of Denmark as
a distant cousin. Queen Victoria at
the date of her birth stood but fifth in
the succession to the crown.

The Root Ofthe Evil.

To thoroughly cure scrofula it is nec-
essary to strike directly at the root of
She evil. This Is exactly what Hoods
Harsaparilla does, by acting upon the
blood, thoroughly cleansing 1t of all Inn
purities, and leaving not even taint
of scrofula In the vital fluid. Thous-
ands who have been cured of scrofula
~ Hoods Sarsaparilla, testify to its
wonderful blood-purifying qualities.

Wonderful Efficacy"

Some people are slow in telling what
good things have been done for them,
but Mr.. John P. DAILY, of Gillisonville,
S. c., says he takes great pleasure in
testifying to the wonderful efficacy of

and ague, and general debility Of the

Not Denied Nor Confirmed

The rumor that Gen. Adna Anderson.
chief engineer of the Northern Pacific road.
will retire is neither denied nor confirmed
by officers of that company. While they
hold that such is probably the case, they
are not in a position to say anything about
it. 1t is quite probable however, that he
viii. as nearly all the construction work of
the company is finished or well under way.
and the services of such a man. when the
work under construction Is completed. will
be no longer required. That the cOnstruc-
ton department will be put under the iuriS-
dicIiOn of Assistant General Manager Oden.
chief of the operating department, is an
errOr-So Mr.. Odell claims.
Dir. Anderson is one of the hest known
and most thoroughly competent engineers
in the United States. and in his present
position commands a salary of SIS. 600 a
year. He was born at Ridgeway. Orleans
county, y. Y, July -. 1872. and entered
railway service in lSt1 as chairman on the
New York IL New Haven River road.
From that time he has occupied many i'm
portant positions on railroads in different
parts of the county,
