in Sandusky from Fish announcing
the dea,h OF SalIie IN New York.
The brotber-in-law, Frank A. Lay
man, and SaIlie's sister Allce went
tn New York to secure the remains.
The body reached Sandusky on
March is. and was taken I'D charge
he the local undrrtakers who subse-
ouent,y deposited it in the vault at
Oakland Cemetery, where it still re-
mains unless inferred within the past
few days.
The ceremony permit which was
issued by the clerk Of the Cemetery
Board at Sandusky, March l4th, az
signs the cause of death. "acute gas
t1itjs," These facts and the develop
meuts they promise led your CORE
spondent to New York to pursue FUR
Their developments.
Tie time of death being traced be-
tween the dates of March 10Th and
18th. the objective matter was to
discover where Sallie died and D
circumstances of her death. The fol-
lowing it .tement was found IN the
issue of the New York Times for
March 18th:
"Mrs. Sallie Reber LaiDg died last
Thursday, March 12.h at Rutherford
Park, n. j. Fol some reason very
few Ct her acquaintance IN TINS CITY
are vet q ware of the fact. Miss KeDer
has been Ill for some time with gas
tritis. and by the advice 4 her phys
lcian went to Rutherford Park for a
change of food and air. She was inn
proving, but she yielded to the crav-
ing for rich food caused by the dl-
sease, and was thrown into convul-
sions which terminated fatally. The
body was brought to this city and
then taken to Sandusky where the
funeral was to have occurred yester-
day."
Rutherford Park is a pretty town
in Bergh county, seven miles .south
of Hackensack, the county seat. At
he depot were f oupd Station Agent
A. w. Taylor and Baggagemaster
John Bell, who said that no body
had been shipped from that station.
Jacob G. Van Ripper was Town As
SCISSOR of Rutherford last year. His
ecords were examined, but did NJ t
disclose the desired Information. The
present Town Assessor is George
Eommack. His record Of burial
permits was Of no service James
n. Rookstaver is the present borough
clerk and tie editor of the Bergen
county Herald at Rutherford. Upon
the books is no record of Mrs. Lalng's
death. This is conclusive evidence
that she did not die at Rutherford.
WHERE DID MRS. LANG DIE?
The developments are that she
died in an assignation house, which
Fish ~frequented. The circumstances
| of her death are beclouded and sus
picicus. Tue body has been:laid into
earth, but the death OF this POI girl
should weigh heavier Oh the mind Of
the old man of the Marine BanE
than all his other mis-dOiDgs.

BEACTY ON THE HALF-SHELL.
A Baby Weighing Half II Pound Born
OH Third Avenue.

From the New York Morning Journal.
"It loo rs like a DOLL"
The smallest baby ever born IN
this city. was the Object OF great adj
niration among the neighbors of the
Viering family If No. 900 Third
avenue, for a few hours yesterday.
It did not live long, however, and
all the little girls IN the neighbor-
hood almost cried their eyes out over
the quick demise of the miniature
treasure.
George Viering resides with
his wife and family Of four children
on the second floor Of No. 900 Third
avenue He is 40 years old and the
driver Of a lager beer wagon for
Winters brewery. His wife is a
strong, healthy woman of more than
average size.
The little girl baby was born at an
early hour yesterday morning. 1t
weighed exactly eight ounces. DIR.
Charles Roth, Of No. 131 East Fifty
eithth street, was in attendance upon
the mother and assisted at the
weighing. The baby looked like a
WAX uUls LIS lCatOlCS WIZ PIAiSCN
and its little head was covered with
yellow hair, which assisted in max
ing the resemblance very striking.
It lived for three hours and then
expired from inanition.
The baby's little brother and sister
sat around the nicely furnished
parlor when a Journal reporter called
last evening. They r good-sized
and good-looking children. A dozen
neighhors filed the room and talked
about the curiosity. They showed
the body to the reporter.
It lay upon q small table, resting
upon some cotton wool. The face
was about as large as a trade dollar,
and the fingers locked like the claws
Of a sparrow. A napkin ring would
easily slip over the body, and the
feet were no larger than a good-sized
thumb-naii.

After foil owing up the experiments Of
Siemens on the influence Of the electric
light on vegetation. p. p. Deherain. a
French investigator. has recorded these
conclusions: The electric light contains
rays which are injurious TO vegetation
the greater part Of the rays are kept back
by transparent glass; the electric light
contains. on the other hand, sufficient
rays useful to vegetation to maintain the
life of plants entirely under its influence
for two and a half months. this amount Of
useful rays Is. however. insufficient TO
bring on young terminating plants. or to
lring full grown plants to maturity.
Some very curious effects OF the naked
rays were noted. Some Of the plants lost
their leaves. some became spotted. weak
and unhealthy, others turned black, while
In the cases OF some elder shrubs the more
exposed leaves were blackened and the
others remained green. The outlines of

that there is room for reform in the sys.
TEN Of education at West Point. lie
would throw open the school to a larger
number of students and have only a
picked number of them actually appointed
into the army. He believes in giving q
large number Of students a military edu.
cation and then in sending them back to
civil life. where they can be useful as
military professors at the schools through
out the country in helping to keep up the
various militia organizations. and in case
OF an emergency could be relied upon for
organizing and handling troops The
present system at West Point has a ton
dency to make a boy over into a machine.
and to give him a false notion of his
position in life.
Their after life In the army tends to
make them creatures Of routine, excess
lively timid and conservative. All Of the
great generals OF the war were West
Point graduates who had left the army
aud gone back TO civil life Through
their absence from the army and in their
contact with people they had acquired
that broadening Of the mind and knowl-
edge OF men which afterward made them
