4 BOY BURIED ALIVE.
SiiEing Through Cuicksand Before the Eyes
OF q DoZPn Spectators.
[NeW York Herald

\ number of boys were playing near
pool formed by break in the water
main on south Fifth between Fourth
and Fifth streets, Williamsburg, when
the earth suddenly caved in, and one of
them, James Carroll, six years Of age,
was caught in the opening.
A colored man named West. who was
passing at the time, heard the boys
cries and ran to his rescue. He ran for
plank, a short distance away, and
when he retraced his steps he noticed
the boy rapidly sinking, with his hands
held aloft. West, when about fifteen
feet away from Carroll, also felt the
earth sinking beneath him, and dropping
the plank he ran to place Of safety.
The head of the boy was just disap-
pearing when West glanced around, and
a moment later it had entirely disap-
peared. An alarm was given and willing
hands were Immediately set to work to
extricate the lad. They found this no easy
task. The report spread that the tun-
mel had caved in apd buried dozen
woTkmen, and in less than ten minutes
the street became impossible. In the
throng were dozens of mothers crying
irantically for their children, whom they
believed had been killed. II was not
until the police arrived that their fears
were allayed and order restored. The
laborers worked indefatigably until 9
O'Clock last night, when they came upon
the body, which had sunk about eight
feet. The body was carried to the resi-
dence O. his parents, No. 65 Sixth
street. The mother was nearly frantic
with grief, and her piercing shrieks were
heartrending.
The accident was only one OF many
that have recently occurred where the
new thirteen-foot sewer is being tun-
nelled through the street. Since the
tunnel was begun Contractor Hart has
been hindered in his work By many OBJ
stacles, and has been compelled to
make excavations to a depth Of fifty
feet, which distance is intended to be
nade for the sewer from the surface.
Since beginning the work of cutting
through the tunnel the earth, which Is
composed mainly of quicksaul, has |
been the cause Of many accidents aud |
the laborers have also been obliged to
with numerous springs which |
were encountered in the excavation. J

4 T1TTOOED ARM.
The Otuamented Limb an Important Fact
ina Ieh brafed Case.

The O,namented Limb au impor,an, Factor
ina Celebrated Case.
A Reading pa special says Mrs.
Ellen Riegel. who was tried in the Court
of Quarter Sessions, in this county, for
the alleged poisoning Of her husband,
John Rlegel, but acquitted. applied for
letters of administration, but her claim
to the right to administer was dis
puted on the ground that she had never
been married to Riegel, but, on the
other hand. was the wife Of jeremiah
Ribble, whose name had been tat
tooed upon her arm. The register
Of wills refused to grant letters TO
her, but issued them to William Riegel,
a son by a former wife. An appeal
was then taken by Ellen Riegel, and
the question involved in the case was
whether she was the lawful widow.
During the hearing in the Orphans
Court the tattooed arm Of the widow
became an important factor, and the
ornamented limb was barred to the gaze
Of the court and lawyers. Judge
Schwartz, in lengthy opinion, rendered
this morning, decided that Riegel was
her husband, and that she is entitled
to administer the estate, which consists
Of considerable property in this
city, valued at over $4,000. In his
opinion. the Judge says that in Penn
sylyania marriage, viewed in a legal
sense. is a civil contract. The obsery-
ance of the precepts of religion and
forms and ceremonies prescribed on en-
terlng into marriage may add TO the
Solemnity, but cannot affect its validity.
Living together and reputation are cir
cumstances which are evidence Of mar
riage. and sufficient to create presump-
tion of marriage which can only be re-
butted by proofs Inconsistent with such
presumption. This is a famous case.
Ellen Regel, young and prepossessing
woman, spent some months in prison for
the alleged poisoning Of her husband,
number Of years her senior, who died
very suddenly, under suspicious cir
cumstances. Some $500 were spent by
the county for chemical analysis Of
Kiegel's remains. and after several
thousand dollars had been expended
the widow came out triumphant, and
under to-day's decision Of the court is
entitled to the control Of her husbands
property.

A STRANGE MURDER.
H,shly. Realistic sesss IN q frsseh Court.
Roou.

DtttAs
A London special says: A great SEN
sation has been caused by peculiar
murder trial in France, and it is feared
that trouble may arise from the state Of
popular feeling. The trial took place
at the lille ct Vilaine assizss, and in
cluded an investigation into the manner
Of the death Of farmer named Beau
douin, who was killed while asleep in
bed, under very peculiar circum-
stances. He was lying by the side
of his wife, according to the
statements made in court, and
yet she declared that she did not hear
the noise Of firearms, notwithstanding
that the man was shot. His wife as
serted that the first intimation she had
Of the murder was from the smoke
from the weapon used to assassinate
him and the blood which flowed from
the wound made by the bullet. Her
story did not receive general credence,
even by those disposed in the woman's
favor; but suspicion fell on a young
man, vsgabond and reckless charac-
ter, named Brageul. Brageul was en-
ployed in some inferior capacity on
the farm by Beaudouin, but was
discharged by him, and at first it
was supposed the murder might have
been committed merely out of revenge.
. The fellow, or being arrested, however.
not only confessed having committed
the crime, but asserted that he had
been iustigated by Nine. Beaudouin to
kill her husband, and had been paid by
her for the deed. The wife's reason,
Brogeul declared. for comprising her
husbands death, was his alleged
tlirtations with another woman. The
murderer said Nine. Beaudouin ad-
mitteG him by the window at night, and
when he had entered the room, re-
turned Immediately to bed and laid
down beside her husband. who was fast
asleep. Bragcul was armed with a
gun, which he rested across the wO-
mans legs in order to get a precision Of
aim, and so shot the man. The court
room was the scene of very realistic
sensational effect in the course Of the
trial. The Judge had the blood-stained
bed brought into court and compelled
the prisoners, the murderer and the
wife, to assume the identical position
which they occupied at the moment
of the murder as described by
Brageul. Notwithstanding the over
whelming evidence against Nine. Beau
douin, and the circumstantial proofs Of
her guilt, the jury acquitted her of
completely in the crime, and found Bra
geul guilty. The latter was condemned
to Imprisonment for life at hard labor.
The greatest Indignation prevails in re-
gard to the view of the case taken by
the jury, from the absurdity of their
idea that a man may be killed by being
shot with gun and with his wife lying
close beside him sleeping soundly mean
while.

In the lIustings Court yesterday L.
B. Jones was tried on the charge Of
sending a challenge to fight duel. The
evidence showed that IN August last
Mr.. Jones had difficulty with Mr.. O..
?. Bradley, resulting in Jones sending
a challenge to Bradley to fight duel.
Subsequently the matter was amicably
adjusted, but Jones was arrested, and
appeared before the Police Justice, who
sent the case on to the grand jury of
the Hastings Court. The jury returned
a verdict Of guilty, and ascertained his
punishment at one hour in Jail and to
be fined one cent.
The balance Of the time Of the court
was occupied in hearing coupon cases.

A Playful Feline and "A Can or Nitro-Glycc-

An Auburn Ull.) telegram says ::
Albert Jones, an experimental and pro-
gIcssive farmer, was, until this after
noon, the owner Of one of the pretticst
residences of Clark county. When he
accompanied his family on neighbor-
ing visit, after luncheon, he committed
the premises to the keeping of play
full cat and a litter Of kittens,
forgetting that the cats are not
familiar with the uses and abuses
Of nitro-glycerine. About 3 o'clock,
shock and laundering detona-
ton alarmed the village. An hour
later, while the amazed tOwnspeOple
were bewildered by speculation and
doubt, a messenger arrived from Mr..
Jones s home, two miles distant. bearing
The news that the house had been blogn
into atoms through some mysterious
agency. and that, inasmuch as the f. amily
could not he found, it was presumed to
have perished in the explosion. Soon
after the excited people began to arrive
upon the scene. however, Mr.. Jones.
together with bis wife and children,
put in an appearance.
The house and contents were scat
tered IN fragments over an area Of 500
yards square. Half the original height
Of the four walls. were left standing,
with saw-toclh and splnterei fringe
all around the irregular top Of the OBJ
long. Two beds were found several
hundred yards apart, one in the road
in front Of the house. A sewing-m
chine was buried head first in the
hower-garden, and broken chairs. ia
bles. pictures, dishes, and wearing ap-
parel, and various household articles
were strewn about the place.
IL was difficult at first to imagine any
reasonable cause for the disaster. Last
week Mr.. Jones procured can Of nitro
elycerinc for the purpose Of experiment
ing on obstinate Stumps which had sue
cessfully resisted the customary as
sault. This he placed alongside the
nursery-box of the family tabby. Near
by stood a table occupied by books,
playthings, sewing utensils, and the
like. The cat, being playfully disposed,
often leaped upon the table and forgot
her maternal anxieties in a gay revel
with ball Of yarn or any other pliable
thing that caught her juggling fancy.
While Mr.. Jones and circle Of
friends were viewing the wreck, won
Gering how under the sun the nitro
glycerine could have been exploded. a
faint, sickly me-ey-yow " was heard.
1t was repeated, and with fayoring
breeze was finally waited from the top
of an elm-tree about fifty feet away.
Perched in one Of the upper limbs
the family cat was discovered. A
small boy climbed up and extricated
her. An examination revealed the fact
that her right foreleg was broken, but
she had suffered no further injury. The
kittens were all killed. Mr.. Jones at
once concluded that while Tabby was
diSporting herself on the table she JOS
tied to the floor some object sufficiently
heavy to cause a conclusion, and that
the explosion resulted. The loss is
about $4,000.

solved some months ago IT devolved
upon the new Ministry to FIX date for
the general elections SO far as they
could. All they can do to prevent or
bring on elections is by holding or not
holding Parliament together. So long
as there is one Parliament in alleged
session there is certainly no necessity
for electing another.
Lord Salisbury, the leader Of the
Conservative party. has seen BIT to take
the responsibility, and in doing so dis
solved Parliament on Wednesday.
While this act settles matters to GER
tain extent, still the further procedure
is something to which, on this side OF
the water, we are certainly unaccus-
toned. Writs for new elections are
sent to officers in each election district,
who are obliged to issue notice to the
electors. They may do it to-day, to-
morrow, or the day after-pOlitics and
negligence combining to make the dis
charge Of the duty at least perfunctory:
As soon as the local officer receives
the notice he issues a duplicate to his
immediate constituency. There may
be a delay here, but it is trifling. So
soon as this last notice is posted the
nomination of candidates follows, an;
within three days after nominations the
elections must begin. Practically,
therefore, now that Parliament has been
legally dissolved, the elections are at
hand. Writs have now been received
in almost all England, and notices will
be given the last of this week. Elec-
tions will begin the first of next week,
and by the last of it we may come to a
very definite conclusion as to those
things W hich the old and new voters Of
the United Kingdom propose to deter
mine by their ballots.
