a New York Gin Nils Herself in the Pres
ence OF Two Young Men
A New York special says: A police
officers attention was attracted this
morning to a group Of excited people
on stoop. He approached, and was
told that a young girl, who was held
in a reclining position by another girl,
had shot herself. The officer sent for
an ambulance, but when it arrived the
girl was dead. As her body was be-
ing lifted into the vehicle revolver
dropped from the folds Of her dress.
1t was picked up by an officer, and two
young men who were in the girls COM
pany were brought to the statiOn-hOuse.
One said he was Eugene Bailey, a turner,
Of Brooklyn, and the other gave his
name as ID. Webster Haynor, broker.
They said the young woman was Lizzie
Stenler, Of 1873 Goyerinett street, and
that she had been in their company the
previous evening. Bailey said that
when be was leaving HaynOr and Lizzie
he heard . shot, and hostenins baOk
found that the woman had shot herself
in the breast and appeared to be dying.
lie assisted Haynor to carry her to the
stoop, where the party was found by
the police.
twas found afterwards that the ball
had entered the woman's stomach and
passed upwards. She was richly dress
ed and her clothing was of the finest
material. A female companion Of Liz
zie said that Bailey had promised to
marry Lizzie, and that the latter had
often said if he did not she would shoot
him and then kill herself. She recog-
nized the revolver as one that the dead
girl carried. 1t is thought that Bailey
refused to marry her and got Haynor
to tell her so, and the girl took her life.

ESCAPED FROM SING SING.
An Athletic Baker Dives int the Hudson and
swIms Away.

A convict named Joseph Pankuch
escaped from Sing Sing prison yesterday
morning. At $50 o'clock Keeper
Abram Jones took him, together with
another prisoner, from his cell to go to
the kitchen as usual to prepare the
breakfast for the other cOnyictS, they
being the prison bakers. At a few
minutes after 4 o'clock Pankuch OBJ
tanned permission to 60 to closet, and
then gave his keeper the slip. Pro-
cceding to the west end Of the south
wall, he there Invested himself Of all
his prison clothes, and, jumping into
the Hudson, swan around the wall
and landed some distance outside the
prison limits. He was seen by the
captain of a schooner anchored of the
prison, but was supposed to be one Of
the hands Of a canal-boat that was UNI
loading at the dock. When his alb
Sence was discovered an alarm was at
once rung, and guards and keepers
were sent in every direction to scour
the country for him. The telegraph
and telephone were made use Of in no.
tifying the authorities of the neighbor-
ing villages to be on the lookout for
the escaped convict, fVr whom the
standing reward Of $50 is offered.
Unless he had a confederate outside to
provide him with citizens clothing he
departed devoid Of any covering, as all
his prison clothes were found where he
disrobed and jumped into the Hudson.
Keeper Jones has been suspended.

Individual; for this young Russian,
with a personality thoroughly her own,
had been mouldedby influences that sway
n whole class. Communicative, fond Of
change, eminently impractical, easily
moved to enthusiasm or indignation,
idealstic in her views Of life, receptive
of new ideas and openly cynical in her
rejection Of many old ones, interested
in.human nature for its own sake, with
strong intolerance Of oppression in all
its forms, Sophie yassilievna seemed TO
suffer from the same nobleness Of i'm

those which afilict her sisters Of the

Statistics OF BibIo Manufacture.
lPalI.Mall Gazette.l


At the Oxford University's own pa
per-mill, which is situated at Wolyer-
cote, near Oxford, 275 tons Of rags
have been consumed in making $50 tons
Of paper for this issue Of the Revised
Version. 1t would cover two and a
quarter square miles. 1t would go
round the world in q strip of six inches
wide--or say, if the pages were laid
open one after another, it would so
round the world. The sheets piled in
reams as they leave the mill would
make column ten times the height Of
St. Paul's, or folded into books before
binding at least one hundred times
the height. The copies, which are
being prepared by the Oxford Uni
versity press alone, would, if piled fiat
one upon another, make a column
more than II miles high or $40 times
the height of the monument. If piled
end on end they would reach ~ miles
high or I.943 times the height of the
monument. 1t is hardly possible to
give an idea Of the number Of goats
and sheep whose skins have been re-
quired for binding the copies, but it has
been calculated that 1850 goat-sklns
have been used in binding the copies
which will be presented by the Ameri-
can Committee of revision on the 2lSt

The Milan exchange. (Milan, Gibson County, Tenn.) 1874-1978, 1885-01-31

The Nashville Banner asks the
American and World some very per
tinent and searching questions as to
their silence regarding the brutalities
to penitentiary convicts, and closes by
stating that Mr. Colyar, of the Amer
lean, and Mr.. Cherry of the World,
are both interested in the present
lease. Hence their silence. If they
are interested, it seems to US that they
would be incompetent witnesses, and
their silence is proper. We hope the
legislative committee will investigate
the matter thoroughly, and, if neees
sary, recommend some other plan o
managing the state prison.

The Heaviest Transaction

From Atlanta Journal,
For several days past journal man mas
heard the rumor that the Bload Balm Compa-
ny of this city had sold the enormous sum of
one hundred and twenty thousand dollars
worth Of their famous blood and skin remedy
to one man,
The report was hard to believe, and determ-
| lining to investigate the matter and learn the
truth, the reporter called at the business office
of the company. On entering the office the
Journal man was confronted by DR.. j. Z.
Dromgoole, the m anager of Blood Balm Co..
to whom the reporter made known the object
of his visit.

"He is thorough business man, anu a cap

Hearing of the wonderful efficacy and the gil
gantic sales Of B. B.. B.. and being a gentle
man of keen business sense, he conceived
the plan of buying at a stipulated price and
controlling seven of the Northwestern states

"Yes, sir; B. B. B. sells right along: the de

DR.. d. E. Salmon, chief of Bureau
OF Animal Industry of the Agricul.
tural Department, last Saturday, in-
spected the herd Of Jersey cattle near
Jackson, which had been infected
with pleuro-pneumonia. He reports
that several Of the herd are yet in>
fected with it, and that it will take a
quarantine of eighteen months to in,
sure safety for other cattle to herd
with them. In fact, he says the only
sure means to prevent its spread is to
kill all the cattle. In view of the fact
that quite a number of valuable herds
have been collected in West Tennes'
see, we think prompt steps should be
taken to kill the whole detected LOT
and pay the owners for them. We
hope the legislature will not hesitate
a moment to do this, as the cattle o.
the state may be endangered if they
are allowed to live.

The election for the remaining state
officers last Tuesday resulted in the
reelection of Mr.. p. P. Pickard as
Comptroller on the fourth ballot, and
the election of Mr.. j. w. Thomas, of
Nashville, as treasurer on the fifth
ballot. Mr.. Atha Thomas, late treas
urer was defeated. The American
and the Banner are pleased with the
election Of Mr. Thomas, and consider
it rebuke to the present leaders Of
the party. The World says he was
elected by republican votes. He was
a gallant confederate soldier, has al
ways been a democrat, but was
"scratcher" in the late election. Tht
latter fact indicates that the presen
legislature will not favor mandate
ry railroad commission.

claims it was done by collectors anC

LIBEL CHARGED.
Suits for 100000 Instituted by State
Prison Officials Against the
Evening Banner.
From the Nashville Am erican.

From the Nashville Am erican.
Suits were filed Tuesday in the Cir.
cult court against the Banner Pub
fishing Company, A. II. Lands, Jr.,
and G.. H. Baskette, by Supt. James
E. Carter, Prison Surgeon Deering j.
Roberts and Warden f. S. Harris, of
the state penitentiary. The aggre-
gate of damages claimed by the COM
plainants is 100000, each Of them
suing for $4,000 The suits were
brought on account of alleged libellous
statements contained in the Evening
Banner of Monday afternoon, in an
editorial article which reflected upon
the management of, and the state Of
affairs at the penitentiary.
The grand jury of the criminal
court have the matter under invests
cation.
The Banners article is entitled
"The Tennessee Tewksbury," and the
following are the portions on which
the suits are based:
The investigation Of the Massachu
sets Asylum at Tewksbury was in
augurated by Gov. Butler because
the insane dead Of the state were in,
humanity bartered to medical colleges
instead of being decently buried.
But how much better are affairs in
Tennessee, where the dead convicts
Of the state are dealt out for college
purposes by state officials.
Here is state institution with
} state officers in charge subjecting its
dead inmates, many Of whom brutal
, ity and avaricious greed have muir
dered, to the knives of medical stu
dents instead of consigning them tC
!, the grave.
Concerning this feature of our beau
tiful convict system, one of the mos
prominent physicians of this city re-
marked last evening: Through this
T practice of sending the dead convict
q to the dissecting table instead of de
cent burial, Gov. Bate has becom'
a cheap undertaker-he saves thu
state the expense of collins and there
by commends his administration fol
t such a stroke of economy"
e This same gentleman gave it as hi
belief that the present prison surgeon
who so promptly and vigorously crit
- cised DR.. Sims, was appointed b.

with Nashville medical college, il

and needy confederate soldier.
