The directors of the American Asylum
for the Deaf and Dumb, Hartford, Conn.
have issued the scventv-second annual report
of that institution, upon which Board of
Management our State is represented by the
Governor and Secretary of State The
struc' ors and oeerseers. and how complete
and thorough the system of instruction there
given is. may be gathered from the fact that
there are twelve general instructors, Especial
teacher of deaf mutes who are blind, three
teachers of articulation, one teacher of draw
ing besides stewards, matrons, and o er-
seers of the cabinet, shoe and tailors shops
connected with the institution. The di =
bursemeuts for the past year were s4', 3l6 80.
There are eighteen pupils in the asylum from
Maine, eleven boys and seven girls.
An Augusta boy who went regularly to the
Y. NJ. c. A. gymnasium last winter became
much interested in developing his muscle.
He had been told the best way TO do this
was to swing Indian clubs, beginning with a
light pair and gradually increasing the
weight as he grew stronger. As this would
necessitate the purchase of several pairs of
clubs. which he could i'll afford, he hit upon
the following scheme. He was the owner OF
two pups which though small in size possessed
to remarkable degree that tenacity of grip
for which the bulldog is so justly cele-
brated. He easily taught each of these to
fix his teeth in the end of short stick and
then taking one of the sticks in each hand
he waved them about his head in some OF
the simple movements. As the dogs grew
his strength increased, and now he may be
seen in easy posture performing all the
graceful gyrations of an expert club swingel
with two wooden handles, to the ends OF
which couple of fifteen pound bulldogs
hang by their teeth with a deathlike grip.

JERSEY CITY, Nov. 7.-Charles Aud
zigah was the most influential citizen in
the Polish district Of this city until he
got into a fight with another Pole, and
the two had a duel on the street, result
ing in the shooting of a little girl who
was standing in a hall way near by. He
was convicted Of assault and battery and
on Friday was sentenced to one year in
the ~penitentiary. During his trial his
wife, a very pretty young woman, insist
ed on sitting by his side and showed her
affection for him in many ways. She
believed her husband was defending her
when the shooting occurred. When he
was convicted she thought he would be
fined and released. When Judge Lippin-
colt pronounced sentence on him she
broke down completely. She was taken
home in a carriage, and was SO sick that
it was thought best to send her TO st
Francis hospital. She died there today
the physicians say, of a broken heart.

Holds to His Mothers

NO decentralization Is Likely to Re

MOtherinIaw.

NEW York, Nov. 8.-No reconcilia
ton is likely to be effected between Mrs.
James q. Blaine, jr., and Jimmy" The
matter was thoroughly considered by the
Blaine family on Saturday and Sunday,
and the intense bitterness Of Mother-in.
Law Blaine against her daughter il -law
won the day. When Mr.. Blaine and his
wife left for Augusta yesterday, all
hopes OF reparation 10 the deserted wife
and msther lying sick at the New York
hotel were at an end. When Mrs. Blaine
was sent for James G. Blaine had hopes
that through her influence the %reca!ci.
trant son would at least be brought to do
something for his 8 months old baby, if
not for the mother. His friends had
quietly looked up the case and
found nothing to destroy the
confidence he was fast learning
to place in his pretty daughter, but they
were finding a good many things to show
that she was OF "a very self sacrificing and
generous disposition If she could again
a back Jiuamy. Several of the young
mans numerous creditors called upon
Walker Blaine, and were given assur-
ance that their claims would be settled.
and Walker, who made himself familiar
with the case, was rather disposed TO side
with his father. But Mrs. Blaine was in.
eXorabIe, and when q reconciliation was
proposed it is said che made a scene at
the Fifth Avenue hotel that nearly raised
the root OF that respectable house. she
said her daughter in law was an adj

LIE TO crafty her w social ambition.
The fact that Mrs. James G., IT.. was
~ years old when she married Jimmy"
then but Is years old, she said was
enough to show this. Jimmy" she said,
was well rid Of her. There was no stem
ming the tide of her Indignation, and fin
ally Mr.. Blaine, irritated by the curtain
lectures, which promised to be endless,
said he would wash his hands of the
whole business, and he did. Neither he
nor Walker would say a word about the
matter before they left, and even with the
friends with whom he conferred aboutlh
case he never said one word against his
daughterin law, and it is known that while
here he sent a messenger each day TO in
quire after her condition. A friend of
thef family said last night that Mr.. Blaine
would put The matter fairly before
young Jim when he returned home, and
advise the young man TO return to his
family. If he does Mr.. Blaine will again
start HIM in Il way TO earn his own liv
ing. Whether Jimmy can cut the Cor
dian knot which ties him to his mothers
apron strings or not, the gentleman could
not say, although he is of the opinion
that Jimmy really cares for his wife and
child, though be has rather lost heart
and manhood through the conflicting in
fluences brought TO bear upon him.

Cooks Run Mine Horror.

RENovA, Pa, Nov. THE coroner of
the county held an inquest at the scene of
the Cooks Run mine horror today, but
the jury did not render a verdict The
cause OF the explosion remains a mystery,
and il is likely TO be unsolved to the end.
The bodies Of the dead have been pre-
pared for burial, and will be placed in
their graves tomorrow. OF the sixteen
dead thirteen have no relatives in this
country, and they will be buried at the
cemetery here. The others will be taken
to North Bend and Wellsville, N. Y. No
one is permitted to gaze upon the hoYri-
bly, mutilated bodies. which are in every
case so burned that the flesh is barely
hanging to the bones. When the
bodies were discovered after the explo-
sion they were mostly found many feet
away from where they had been working.
One, that of a boy 10 years Of age. was
in a sitting position against the side of
the mine. His right hand held his left
in "A firm grip and it was with diff
Guilty that the fingers were opened enough
to place the body i'll position for burial.
In the case of Michael Curran, who was
blown from seventy five feet i'm the mine
to loo feet beyond it. his body was lodged
between two logs, while in his right hand
he held the handle of the shovel with
which he was working when the cxplo-
sion occurred. The mine Inspector Of
the district has not yet arrived to exam
Inc into the cause OF the disaster.

ing her father-in-law, Hiram l.. Brown
and her youngest son, Jesse Brown. The
jury has spent twelve days in examining
both verbal and written evidence, besides
a network of circumstantial evidence
which tends to fasten the crime
upon the accused. A number
of letters written by Mrs. Brown
to her FREUD, Mrs, Lake, Of Month
cello, secured by Detective Clahin, were
introduced AS evidence and are expectedto
prove important. The last letter was
written July 12 TO her parents at OAR
rington, Ill.,. while she was at Monticello.
She acknowledges in her letter that she
was in hiding and asked her parents to
communicate with her through the col
umns of a Chicago paper. The states
attorney thinks that he has a strong case
against her and that he will be able TO
prove her guilt. She will probably be
arrested on Monday. but her relatives
here, being wealthy and influential, will
find no diiluclty in securing bail.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6.-Anschlag, the
murderer Of the Hitchcocks and of old
man Fuegh, has prepared a written ac-
count Of his life and crimes which fills
two columns. 1t differs little from the
confessions he has made in Los Angeles
Jail except that he gives new details Of
the butchery Of the Bitchcocks, the un-
coveted. He says that when he saw the
deed Of the farm made out and signed
to him by Hitchcock, who ex.
pected to get his money in two
days. he was seized with the impulse to
kill the Hitchcocks, as he thought then
he would have no trouble in holding the
land. He killed the husband in the barn
with two blows Of a sharp Ratchet and
then went TO the kitchen and murdered
the wife in the same way. Then ne
hauled the bodies two miles, buried them,
changed his clothes and calmly went to
work on the farm, where he WAS arrested.
He did not have sense enough to even
put away Mrs. Hitchcock's best dress,
which she had laid out ready for church
next day. The murder Of Fuegh was
also to get possession of the land and
money he was supposed to have boarded
