APPALLING FATE OF A YOUNG LADY

A horrible story comes from Spring
field, W. Va, of the burying of a
young lady Miss Mary Cox alive.
She was taken violently i'll, and the
attending physician decided that she
was suffering from neuralgia and pre-
scribed morphine-one dose to be ad-
ministered at once and another in
twenty-four hours. By mistake the
second dose was given in a short time
after the first, and in an hour or two
thereafter Miss Cox apparently died,
and in two days was buried. At the
funeral one lady insisted that she
was not dead and wanted a physician
sent for. But no attention was paid
to this, and the night after the burial
the dogs of a man living near the
graveyard stationed themselves at the
tomb and kept up persistent howl
ing. The strange action of these dogs
led to the opening of the grave early
the next day, 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 casket, and the
pillow was in shreds. The poor girl
had literally stripped the clothes
from her body. Her hands and arms
were torn and bleeding, and the lips
were bitten through, and handfuls of
hair were torn from her head. The
girl had come to life, and evidently
made a fearful struggle to escape.
The awful affair fills the community
with horror.

from the seashorc, salt water being
absolutely essential to its growth.
No magnet is truer to the pole than
is the root of the cocoanut tree to

toward the sea, no matter in what po-

1NTI- PIANO.

The anti-piano movement started in
Berlin something over year ago is
still exciting interest in Germany and
comment abroad. 1t has been asserted
that piano playing in Berlin had
reached point, before the antl-piano
movement commenced, at which both
the public healthlas we'll as the price
Of real estate we're being seriously
affected.
Under the anti-piano movement it is
proposed that the German Government
shall restrict playing and practising
between the hours of eleven o'clock in
the morning and noon and between
eight o'clock in the evening and eleven
at night. In other countries besides
Germany where the piano is an almost
universal instrument, and where the
capacity to own or rent one is the great
mark of division between the wage
earning and the property-owning
classes, and where it is the popular
substitute for every other instrument,
the damage to health and real estate
would be proporrIonateIy greater than
in Germany, where the violin, zithern
and other quieter instruments are more
generally cultivated.
Some journalists treat the German
anti-piano movement with leyity and
accuse the Germans of being "phleg
matics," but It seems, after reading the
arguments on both sides of the ques-
ton that the Germans are by no means
phlegmatic about music, and their
present revolt against the piano is not
the result of prejudice and blind rage.
The great difficulty in the way of an
anti piano movement in Europe and
America has always been that the peo-
pie who were hostile to the piano were
suspected of having no ear for music.
The attack, however, upon the piano
which is being made in Germany, is
accompanied with threat to resort to
the police for the suppression Of the
noisy instrument The movement is
there directed against the unreasonable
use of the piano. To limit the hours
Of practice on the piano in any country
is to practically cut down the number
OF players. The question seems to
be taking the form of sacrificing art to
comfort.

A huge tank, that had been left at the
north end of. the island, still stood in
its place, tilted over little, as it had
settled when let down with the angry
waters from its aerial fight Immedi-
ately after the explosion fire broke
out in the wreck and burned Justify
amid the seething waters. Four in.
stantaneous photographs were taken by
officers Of the corps Of engineers from
the firing point at Astoria. AS far as
it was possible to judge from the posi-
ton and appearance OF the wreck, the
explosion has been an entire success,
though, for the present, the vicinity of
Blasted Rock will be even more danger.
GUS than. heretofore until the wreck has
been removed. The shock was felt to
a slight extent in the city. 1t was dis.
tinctly felt in the City Hall building.
The structure trembled for the space
of few seconds. At the County Court
House building the shock was also dis
tinctly felt in the upper part Of the
building. The floors shook and the
windows trembled when the explosion
occurred.
HOW THE WORK WAS DONE.
Flood Rock covered an area of nine
acres. From the shaft, galleries and
tunnels which were excavated there
we're $4,000 cubic feet of stone,
leaving the honey-combed mass OF
275,ooo feet which was blown up.
The shaft was So feet deep from the
top of the rock; from its base there
we're "a galleries or tunnels extending
in every direction, total distance OF
four miles; average in length 10 feet
and in height 8 feet, the rock above
these galleries ranging in thickness
from 10 to rs feet In these galleries
were chambers from a to feet apart,
in which the explosive cartridges were
EMBEDDED. There were 1900 OF
these cartridges in position, which
if stretched out in line, would cover a
distance Of ~ miles. These explosives
we're ~ inches in diameter and Q
inches long.
The mine was fired by what is known
as the electric and sympathetic pro-
cesses. The main galleries were
charged with explosives, which were
connected by copper wire with land
battery located on Hallet's point, dis
lance of 1000 cubic feet from Flood
Rock. A simple pressure Of the finger
on a button at the battery fired the
initial charge in the galleries, and the
conclusion exploded the canisters in
the chambers by sympathy
The original estimate for the work Of
improving He'll Gate channel was
$5,I3o,I2o Up to the present time
about So, 500, 900 have been expended.
The work alone on Flood Rock
amounts to round million. The
total cost Of removing the broken
rock after the explosion is estimated at
5000, 900.

The whiskey element throughout the
Islands will more than likely cut some
figure in the coming elections. By the
whlskey element is meant not only
those who sell the liquor, but those
who back the whiskey interests from
the shadow of the Government House.
1t is but logical to expect that a totter
ing Administration will take advantage
OF every vicious passion and failing OF
dying race to retain itself in place
and power even at the immediate sacri.
fee of the Kings native subjects. 1t is
a lamentable state of political affairs,
but, as greatly as it is deplored by
those who have the good Of Hawaii at
heart, it is nevertheless a fact that such
a state of affairs does exist here and is
openly acknowledged and advocated
by the leaders of the Government par
ty, BE it understood that we would
urge no objection to the leaders Of the
party in question killing themselves
with gin, if they would only do it, they
would bring SO much good to the coun-
try at large out of their own personal
wrongs. We object, however, with all
good citizens, to the leaders of this
alleged party pouring poison into the
cups of the few remaining subjects
who would be true to their King in an
hour Of need

lGrccnrille Ncu's.l

The Rev. w. D. Mayfield returned to this
city on Sunday and on Monday answered at
Sandy Springs Baptist churcli, where Il
church ounsel was assembled TO Try MN lpl
man" The counsel represented the Green,
Vile, Washington No ., Betheul, Iledmmht
and Sandy Springs Baptist churches. Inc
Rev. DR.. Chas. Manly, the Rev. DR.. tu1nian
(ireenvllle church. -,
The specifications were that DR.. MayGeld
had taken or attempt to take improper lpcr'
ties with two ladies, sisters. in the lower sec
ton of the county,. The ladies are of the high.
est responsibility and standing and there IS no
breath against the name OF either or mem;
DR.. Mayt1eld in his defence stated that ne mad
known the ladies from childhood ana lelt NO
cunstraint in his intercourse with them ana
naturally took liberties he would not have
venturcd on with strangers. The actual act
with which he was charged was pnltlns MS
arms about the waist of the ladies on one oc-
casion each, at different times ana places;
The evidence was that nothing wrong Lad
been said and that when the familiarity was
resented it was promptly deSisted from.
After hearing the testimony the representa-,
tiyes of the churches met in close counsel and
considered the matter deliberately. 1T was
concluded that TIE charg Haor were SuSEat nnnl
duct unbecoming Il Christian gentleman,
inasmuch as he had been indiscreet ana hal
not borne himself with the care required by
his position, although there was nothing 10
establish that he had evil in his heart. sandy
Springs church, where DR.. Maytield has his
membership, was advised to request him to
withdraw his membership.
DR.. Mayfeld and his friends claim that ms
cor nectiOn with the Mutual Self Endowmrnt
company and its failure influenced ieeilng
against him. The high personal and Chris
tain character and ability Of the gentlemen
composing the counsel, however,, gives the
verdict great weight and is a guarantee that
it was reached after calm and praycrlu con-
sideration and with every purpose to be fair
and TO do what is right.
