a RARE DISEASE.
Dying Inch by Inch and Keeping a Record
of His sufferings.

New YORK, July 3.-The death Of Sidney
Howard Gay, the distinguished author and
journalist, was caused by the rare disease of
ossification. -Four Year, ago, at the age of sew
enty, he suffered a stroke of paralysis, and
second attack, only few rlonths later. com
pletely disabled him. He was not able to move
his legs at ALL and his body was not acutely
sensible. From that time onward he was con-
fined to his bed, although his brain remained
clear and active and he read and wrote when
ever he pleased. He had q comfortable home
at west brighton, Staten Island, and an in
come derived from his former association with
Bryant in the Evening Post property. a year
or so after his complete paralysis the process Of
Ossiication set in.
Mr. Gay interested himself deeply, and yet
quite calmly, in study of his own case. He
read all that had been written on the subject,
he conversed at great length with his physi-
clan, and ut one time contemplated the author
ship OF q volume containing his own expert
ences and summarizing the medical knowledge
of others. But about tie time he was to have
commenced the work painful phase of the
maiady was reached, and from year ago until
within a week of his death he suffered great
deal when not under the influence Of opiates
Twinges like neuralgia and a dull ache like
rheumatism, characterized the last stages of
the change of flesh into bone, and before COM
pete insensibility ensued. This area of acute
insenstivcness moved slowly up his legs, until
for their complete length they were as solid
senselesS and almost as heavy as stone. Drugs
were OF no avail in checking the steady adj
vance, and when it reached his body to attack
vital organs death happily came to his relief.
Instances of ossilcation are extremely rare,
and Mr. Gays case was marvel to himself
and those made familiar with it.

A BOY ON TRIAL
For the Murder Of His Baby
Sister in kentucky.
The Little Wretch Completely Hardened
What VIII DO Done with Him2
His Coming Trial.

JACKSON KY, July 1.-The trial Of Law
Vile Combs the clcven-y ear-old boy who
killed his sister, aged six years. IS expected to
take place here in the circuit court tomorrow.
This murder, committed March Sth Of the
present year. and Of which scarcely any men
ton has been made in the newspapers, was
one of the most shocking and outrageous in
tho whole annals Of Kentucky. The parents
Of the boy had gone away from home for
brief period, leaving LawYille and his sister in
charge Of the house
On the mothers return some time after the
daughter could not be found and diHgcnt in
curry was made Of LaWvillc as to her where
abouts. At first he declared that she had
gone TO n neighbours house, about q mile dis
tant, ON on errand. But the mother, discoy-
ering blood strewn about on the floor became
moro anxious than ever to ascertain tho
whereabouts OF her child. The boy next tried
10 cover up his horrible crime by stating that
he had killed a chicken during the absence Of
his parents, and the dripping Of the fowls
blood had produced the stains on the floor.
This the parents would not believe, and after
being more thoroughly questioned the boy at
length admitted that he had murdered his sis
ter with the handle Of an old skillet, strikinI
her in the back Of the head.
He then built big fire in the fireplace an
endeayorcd TO burn her body, but cremation
being slow process, and fearing discovery, he
took the remainder of the body out of the en-
bers, dragged it to 4 creek, throwing it into
the water.
Not yet satisfied with the disposition OF the
remains, he afterward took them out Of the
water and buried them in a sand bank. On
being eXhumed tho corpse was found to be ter
ribly burned and was frightful looking object.
The boy gave as q reason for killnghis Sis
ter that a man who was boardcr at their
house had offered him pair OF shoes and
also n pair of suspenders TO lulA his sister,
and he had accepted the offer with the ex-
poctation Of receiving the goods according to
agreement. The anxiety of the boarder for
the destruction Of the girl arose from the fact
that tho ncigibors had charged him with be-
ing criminaliy intimate with the child, and
had threatened on several occasions to resort
to lynch law. There seemed to have been
some ground for suspicion, az Immediately
after the murder and the boys confession the
boarder fed fer parts unknown, and has not
been seen or heard of in that vicinity since.
The boy Is braZeu and hardened, taking the
charges against him with the utmost GOODNESS
and indifference. not bctrayng even the slight
est fear Of emotion. Apparently lie is quito des-
titute or any feelings OF sympathy or remor3o
and swcars, drinks aud chews tobacco in the
most disgusting manner. Nevertheless he
seems at times TO suflcr considerably in mind,
and complains that his dead sister visits him
by night and refuses to let him sleep. He is
not repentant, however. and regards his awful
crime as a matter OF but tritlng importance

things brought up. In digging an ordinary
well in Mitchell county, seventeen miles from
Albany, Washington Merritt, at a depth of
twonty-seven feet, dug through a mass seven
feet deep of pctr;tied bones. There were thigh
bones, ribs, finger bones, teeth, and with these
remains OF some forgotten race, immense
bones of animals now extinct.
Sim Bowles, near there, i'll digging out for
mill foundation, came upon the shore of an
ancient ocean. The sand showed the ripplcs
from the waves, and was covered with marine
remains, shells, sharks teeth and bones of deep
sea monsters.

THE WORST YET.
A Whole Family Perish in the Flames
Children Consumed Without a Cry.

SAULT STE MARIE, Mich, July IA farm
house belonging to George Dobbs, located
about seven miles from here, on the Canadian
side of the river, was destroyed by fire early
yesterday morning. Four Of the inmates
George Dobbs, aged Y years; David McTi-
field, aged q Alice Thompson aged g. and
another chid-perished in the flames. The
fire started from smudge, and when discov-
cred by Mrs. Dobbs, who is 70 years
of age, was beyond control Mrs. Dobbs
quickly awakened her husband and Mr.,
Merriticld and descended to the lower
floor. While cropping about in the sitting
smoke, she stumbled and fell through a trap
door into the cellar, and from there made her
escape to the open air. The two men,
unable 10 find any means of exit in the
dense smoke, fell back into the flames and
were consumed. The children were asleep in
another part of the house, and persisted with
out sound, being probably suirocated The
woman, who had no time to put on any cloth
ing, lay exposed to the chilly air until morn
ing, when her cries attracted the attention Of
a neighboring farmer. She is badly burned
and there is lIttlo hope for her recovery.
