Gen. Hickenlooper tells a good story
Of Gen. Corse. 1t was at Altoona that
a rifle ball took Corse alongside the
head. Gen. Sherman received word
from Corse that his ear and a portion of
his cheekbone were gone, but he was
still able to hold his position and fight
it out. AS soon as possible Sherman
got over to see him, full Of anxiety for
him. He found Corse with his head
swathcd in bandages, and, in his anx-
iety to know the nature of his injuries,
impatiently ordered the surgeon to re-
move the cloths. This was done slow
ly and with great formality, and there
was revealed slight scratch on the
cheek and hole in the ear. Sherman
looked intently at it. and calmly re-
marked: "Why, Corse, they came
id near missing you, didn't they2"

An Infant Packed in salt.

The police Of Decatur, ILL.,, are in
vestigaung a case which has caused a
great deal of interest in the city and
neighborhood. The skeleton of an in
fant packed in salt found in box in
Mrs. Kate Duiy's room. 1t has been
secreted there over a year. A dog
smelling it, knocked down the box,
and a Mrs. Ed. Blairs made the ghastly
discovery. Mrs. Duffy has been a widow
ten years, and says the box was left
with her over year ago by strange
lady. Eight months since Mrs. Duffy
says she opened the box and noted the
contents, but failed to inform the officer,
and just put it back in a corner. The
theory Of the police is that a woman,
with the intention OF destroying the
evidence of her shame, packed her in
fant's body in salt.

where We Get the Asphalt.

| never look at an asphalt pavement
or roll along over its smooth surface in
a carriage without thinking of the Gu
rious island and still more singular
place from which the material is pro.
cured. In about the center Of the ISL
and Of Trinidad, a dot in the Caribbean
sea, just off the coast of Venezuela,
there is an asphalt lake. It is said 10
cover about 100 acres and is apparently
inexhaustible. 1t is a black, sandy
substance and is believed to be crude
rotten petroleum. A singular feature Of
the substance is that, although about
50, 600 tons are taken out of the lake
annually, it constantly fills up SO that
there is no lessening of the supply.
This singular lake of paving material
is owned by the Venezuelan govern.
ment, but is leased TO a company in
Washington.

"You can call in the conductor, the

at the next station and send special
dispatch to old Jay Gould himself about
it,"
"The conductor will put you off the
train
al don't care if he does. am not
going to take that gripsack from the

The indignant passenger went through
the train and soon returned with the
conductor.

The Execution Block.

OF all the objects shown to visitors
in the Tower of London the most i'm
pressive, perhaps, are the block and
axe formerly used fer beheading persons
convicted of treason. The block is a
rough, heavy mass OF wood, about two
feet high, TWO feet thick, and three feet
long, with an excavation in the upper
part to receive the breast of the sufferer
and corresponding excavation on the
other side for the chin. The marks Of
the axe are still plaialy visible on the
block, some OF them showing by their
depth the needless force of the execu-
toner's stroke. The axe is an ancient,
awkward instrument, which seems to
me, when | handled it, TO be very i'll
adapted to its purpose. There used to
be shown, also. an awful looking black
mask, which the executioner wors when
he performed his Office, so that he should
not be aflerwsrd recognized by the
spectators.

Plump, smooth, jolly, Miss Tilbury
doesn't amount to much as an actress yet,
being novice, but her youth and comeli-
ness are very compelling to her adulators OF
stage fcmininity. Bouquets and notes are
sent to her by the noodles, and one evening
a somewhat years-worn beau, famous for
quarter of century as a gallant OF the
green-room, was struck hard by her agreea-
bic personality. His social and business
relations with the management were such
that he was able, just aftei rehearsal next
day, to be introduced to the girl. She re-
ceived him respectfully, but not ardently,
and he felt that he was not making q deep
impression. He therefore made some in
tensely silly remarks, intended to convey
his admiration.

HOW ROTUNNO WAS KILLED.
Nardello's Story duplicating Two
Others in the Crime.

The only testimony Of interest in the trial
OF Antonio Nardello, charged with the
murder of Carmine Rotunno, after the re-
port of THE CRITIC closed yesterday, was
that Of Detective s. j. Block, purporting to
be confession Of the prisoner, and which
created decided sensation. The conversa-
ton took place at the Second Precinct Sta
ton ON Sunday afternoon, after the close OF
the inquest, and no third person was
present. When Block went to the cell he
asked Nardello if he wanted anything to
eat. Nardello replied that he did not, and
continuing, said: "Three persons in this
Me know my neck gone. Me not care for
my neck"
Block asked how 1t happened.
Nardello said: "Pasquale Abbondante,
Pasquale Gessimonte and me were sitting
down In Italian shapty talking about Ro-
tunno having much money. Pasquale said,
Let's take 1t away and said, Antonio,
you take him over to the house. They get

and when get to the railroad track devil

me go back, go back and go back and me

Block asked; "What housc-where Ro-
tunno was foundY'
Nardello replied; "Yes, me hear some
talking up stairs, me go up and see Rotun-
no and two Italians
Block asked: "What two?"
Nardello responded; "Pasquale Albion
dante and Pasquale Gessimonte. Me catch
hold Rotunno's leg same as play, and Pas
quale Abbondante take hold other leg, we
pull him and he fall to the floor. We look
up, and Pasquale Gessimonte cut his throat,

pants and / say, 'Oh, N.Y. Pasquale, say 1t
all right and give me $780,"
He then said to Block: snow you get
Them" meaning the two Pasquales.
The cross-examination was taken up this
morning, but there was no variance from
the direct statement.
Detective Henry Raft testified that Mar
dello said in an interview at the station:
"Two Pasquale. Me holde one leg, Gessi-
monte held the other and Abbodante do
like dis' drumming his finger across his
throat.
Raft asked: s'How much did you getY"
Nardello said: $3.50"
Raft asked: SLOW much did you get for
your shareP'
Nardello said: "Me get $780,"
Raft again asked: SLOW did you get the

Nardello said; "Me kneele down see If

Nardello then began crying, and Raff left
him.
