She Led a Double Life.

A handsome and stylishly dressed wo.
man, past middle life, accompanied by
tall man of distinguished appearance, with
gray imperial and moustache aud curly gray
hair, called at the a-signation house 10
West Twenty eighth street New York, about
o'clock Saturday afternoon and was
shown to room by the proprietress, Mrs
Fisher. Nothing was heard from the cou.
pie until 6 o'clock, when the man rushed
down stairs, saying that the lady who oc
cupied the room with him was dangerously
ill. The servants ran up stairs and found
the woman lying on the bed, dead she
was wholly disrobed. The police were in.
formed and a doctor was hastily summou.d
The latter, on examination, said the wo
man had died of heart disease Sao
was of dark complexion, and had curry,

lee was about forty seven wears of age ana

been an invalid for the past few years. His

PIERCED TO THE HEART WITH A SLATE PENCIL.
Paul Faniscourt, years of age, living with his
parents in this city, while running across one Of
the rooms of the house day or two ago with q
slate pencil about three inches and half in
length in his hand, caught his foot in the carpet
and was thrown head.foremost, falling heavily to
the floor. The slate pencil penetrated his breast
to the depth Of three inches leaving half inch
of the pencil exposed. The mother of the child,
realizing that the boy had been seriously hurt,
summoned physician. He extracted the pencil
with his fingers, not daring to use an instrument,
as he was of the opinion that very little agita-
ton of the pencil wonld produce instant death,
perhaps break the brittle substance, the end Of
which rested directly on the lads heart. The boy
was unconscious from the time of the. accident
until after the pencil had been extracted and
was then restored to Consciousness by artificial
means The doctor regards the case as a most re-
markable one, and the boys escape from instant
death almost miraculous. He will probably re
cover from the accident.-Propidcnce Journal.

Victims ofthe BLIZZARD.

ST PAUL, MINI, Jan. 16.-The terrible
storm which has swept over the Northwest
blockading railroads in FIVE states is now
over and the victims Of its fury are being
counted. The pitiful lie! is growing almost
every hour. 1t will show hundred lives sac
rificed to the awful fury ofthe blizzard. The
casualties among stock have been greater
than ever known in the State OF Kansas
Horses and cattle have persisted in their
stalls and the owners have been baily frozen
while attempting to care for them. On the
Missouri Pacific railroad two train loads OF
cattle coming in from the west were caught
in The blizzard and every animal was frozen
to death. As most OF the cattle on the west
ern range of the Indian Territory are new
Texas stock, the loss will be very great, they
being unused to such low temperature. The
temperature dropped in some instances at
the rate of 20 TO IS degrees an hour, until
solid ice was formed. Much suffering exists
among the poor, asin many C .ses fuel is al
most cut of their reach.
