He had been at the. Hudson County

five o'clock left the race course for home.
His horse was spirited roan and the
light sulky in which Mr.. Kern sat, almost
flew down the road.
From the start Mr.. Kern felt the ami
NAL getting the best of him, and at Clay's
Park he threw away his whip in order to
get better hold on the reins. The sight
of the whip maddened the horse,
and he tore through Union Hill,
scattering the people to the right
and left. AT the corner of Lewis
street and Bergenline avenue was q
heap of stones and dirt. Mr.. Kern,
seeing the danger, made desperate at
tempt to stop the horse, but without avail.
The wheel of the sulky struck the OBJ
struction and the light vehicle was upset,
throwing Mr.. Kern out upon his head.

A DEAD MAN BETWEEN THEM.
Milwaukee's German Pioneer Drowned
While Working Charm.

Milwaukee's German Pioneer Drowned
While Working Charm.
MILWAUKEE, April %, 1SS9.-Some
strange and weird incidents surrounded
the death of julius Engelhardt, an old
man who was drowned in the river above
the dam yesterday afternoon. Engelhardt
was the German pioneer of Milwaukee, q
man of means and we'll known several
years ago In 1880 Engelhardt's wife was
stricken with rheumatism and after many
medicine, Engelhardt sold a large block of
property and started in to investigate
Christian science, faith cures, and all
manner of latter day healing and witch
craft in order to find a remedy.
Last November Engelhardt himself was
taken down with lung trouble, and was
given up as hopeless case. In this emer-
gency regular convention of believers in
Witchcraft and charms was held. 1t was
there decided that nothing would save the
old man but charm The charm was to
90 to the banks of running stream, there
to cast pebbles in the water and recite an
incantatlOn.
The old man was very weak, but Satur-
day afternoon he was driven by his son,
Gustav, and friend of the family out to
the river. There the weak old man was
carried down the embankment and
propped up near the shallow water. 1t
was specified that the charm would be
useless if any one were present while he
worked it. SO his son and friend left him.
After a wait of fifteen minutes they re-
turned and found that the old man had
fallen into the river and had been
drowned.
His son and friend carried the body
back to the carriage. Then they drove
home through the city, the dead man
sitting between the two.

A Colored Woman's Vain Effort to Turn
Water Into Wine by Prayer.

A Colored Woman's Vain Effort to Turn
Water Into Wine by Prayer.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, April %, 1S89.-The
miracle meeting of Mrs. Pauline King,
the colored woman who tasted forty days,
was held at Oak Ridge Park yesterday
afternoon She had advertised that she
would turn water into wine, and crowd
of FIVE hundred had assembled to see the
miracle.
Mrs. King was neatly attired in a
cheesecloth dress. She wore a bridal suit
and wreath of roses and carried a bunch
of peach blossoms on her bosom. She be-
gan by saying that she had not come out
to the park on her own volition, but that
it was at the instance of the Lord.
An eight gallon stone jar was selected,
filled with water from neighboring well
and placed on the platform.
Then Mrs. King sank to her knees and
prayed most earnestly for the Lord to
turn the water into wine. She reminded
Him that she had come to the park to give
Him an opportunity to perform miracle,
and she wanted Him to come and show
His power and quicken the unbelieyers.
The tears rolled down her cheeks, but
still there was no change in the water
Then the audience sang until they were
hoarse and Mrs. King prayed again most
fervently, but the supplication was in
vain, and she again invited the congrega-
tion to sing, which they did, but still
there was no wine.
There were pitying expressions among
those present, and these reaching her, she
said she was not discouraged. She knew
the Lord could do it, After she had de-
clared the meeting q failure, the water
was passed aronnd in dipper, and nearly
everyone present took sup to see if they
could not detect the presence of wine, but
there was not the least semblance of it,
