A BUG STORY.

The other night one of these snapper
bugs flew into the open window and liz
on the ear of a gentleman who was asleep
The bug entered the ear and commenced
his swapping aud tearing at the the deli
cate lining Of the cur with his claws. The
swapping sounded like the beating OF n
thousand sledge hammers, and the claw
Ing caused almost insulierable pain. The
bug was too far in to be pulled cut by
the fingers, and the gentleman rose as
quickly as be could and his wife tried in
vain to get it out with needle and har
pin. At last he resolved to 90 to doc
tor, and while dressing himself his wife
happened to think Of the attraction light
had for bugs and moths. She placed
the light near the ear, and in less than
half minute the bug crawlcd ot1t bncti

A CURIOUS INCIDENT.

LONDON, Feb. 23.-One of the most
singular incidents ever connected with an
execution, or attempt execution for muir.
der, occurred to-day at Exeter, on the
carrying out the death sentence passed
upon John Lee, recently condemned to
be hanged for the murder Of Miss Emma
w. Kcyes, at Babbacombe, near Torquay
November 18th, last. Three efforts were
made to execute Lee, but each attempt
proved futile---the drop falling to work
successfully. The detail make the case
the most horrible that ever discharged Il
gibbet in England At first Lee was
perfectly firm and went to thescafiold I'M
daunted. when the first effort to hang
him failed the prisnors spirit remained
unbroken He was led from under the
gallows and walked back to the cell with
a firm step. When first placed upon the
trap he resigned himself completely, but
firmly into the hands of tho executors
He stood motionless during the prelimin-
airy proceedings, and when the moose was
placed. and the spring about to be touch
ed, he made an apparent effort to adjust
his body to the expected drop, so death
would be MS quick as possible. When
he was made to realize that the gibbet
had failed to do its work and he was not
yet hanged, he appeared to start as if
from nightmare, but quickly recovered
himself The machinery was then care
fully overhauled, when the woodwork
was found to be wet and swollen, SO the
trap refused to work. After being oiled
aud tired until thought to be all right, the
prisoner was again.. brought forth The
same scene as before was then enacted
once again and the wretched man led
away, and the trap second time exam
ined and oiled, and for second time pro-
nounced all right. He for the third
time took his stand upon the trap, and
for third time the gibbet refused to do
its work.

now rHn PRISONER ESCAPED

talking about prisoners jumping
through car windows to get away from
their keepers" remarked an old sheriff,
Is he kept his eye on two men who were
hand-cuffcd together and occupied the
scat in front or him, sslet me tell you a
little story. About fifteen years ago, ]
was taking a chap up TO Joliet one night,
and a. I always thought myself good
enough for any enc man, and as he was a
quiet one, anyhow, | took the clamps of
from him. | had had him in charge
several months, and I thought him BIZ
coward; 50 when no asked permission TO
70 to the closet / let him 60, feeling con
fdeDt that he would never jump with the
train going forty miles an hour.
He didn't come back directly and then
got scared and locked for him. The
window Of the closet was wide open, and
II was too plain lie had made the jump.
! stopped the train and we run back, got
out lanterns and looked for him. ex-
pectsd to find him dead BY the side Of
he track, but not sign Of him did we
discover, except that had found his hat
where he had jumped. The train went
on and I stayed there, swcrs in a posse
from among . lot Of section hands, and
offered reward. But never found
him--pot even track nor sign, save
that hat. 1t was always one Of the
greatest mysteries to me how he got away.
Tho fall must have hurt him, as there
was 1 high bank there, and how man
could got away after such a terrible jump
was more than | could understand
'sTen years afterward | came across
that man in the pen at Joliet, where he
Was ten year burglar. He told me how
he had got away, and laughed 50 over it
that TIL bet the day he got a chance
70 tell me Of Ills cleverness was the
brightest ono he had passed in many a
year. He had simply climbed out the
window reached up to the ventilators
with his hands, and pulled himself up to
the Top Of the coach. There he lay and
hard u talk about catching him. When
The train went on with him and without

lowing account of the horrible fate of a
Virginia woman MARY Cox, well
known and popular young lady, who
lived near the month Of the Little Cayon
river, was taken violently i'll The ply
stefan decided she was suffering from neu-
raleia Of the stomach and prescribed uor-
phia. The dose was administered at
once and another left with Instructions to
give it in twenty four hours. For some
reason the dose was given in very short
time. An hour on two alterward the
death Of Miss Cox was announced. Two
days later the body was buried. At the
funeral one lady insisted that Miss Cox
was not dead and begged that a physician
be sent for. That night the dogs Of a
man living near the grave stationed
themselves near the tomb and kept up n
persistent how.ing Next day the grave
was opened and to the horror Of all it
was found that the girl had been buried
alive. The lining was torn from the
sides of the coffin and the pillow was in
shreds. The poor girl had literally
stripped the clothes from her body. Her
arms and hands were torn and bleeding
her lips bitten through, and handfuls OF
hair were torn from her head. The girl
had come to life aud evidently made a
feirful struggle to escape. The awful
aff,r fills the community with horror"

The Adoption of Mono-Metallic standard
Would I've q stupendous Crime.

Congressman Warner Of Ohio was asked
in New York If he thought the Bland OIL
could be repealed without substitute being
provided therefor. In response Warner
said: II do not believe it can, and Will
say more, don't believe it ought to be.
This is not mere question of coming
few millions of dollars, more or less, in a
year, but is a question between bi.inetal'
ism and gold mono .metalism. The present
coinage law is only the thread by which
silver is held in our monetary system.
Strike this law down without any substi-
tute, and bi,netaism is overthrown. The
silver men understand this perfectly well.
To bi.metalist the change in the stand
ard from both metals to one, in the face Of
the vast indebtedness that now weighs
down the modern nations. would be MOTH
ZIG less than a stupendous crime. will
introduce my bill, which is intended as
substitute for the Bland bill, at the as
sembling Of Congress. 1t will be opposed
BY the extreme gold and the extreme silver
men, but believe there are enough who
favor my proposition to carry it through
the House. l think all will agree that such
bill will effect more permanent settle
ment OF the silver question than would the
change in the weight of coins, and no
doubt permanent settlement Of that i'm
portant matter will lead to an immediate
and lasting revival of business throughout
