\ Father Throws His Children One by
One from a Second Story Window.

One from SecOMu story WINDOW.
TEcUMsEH, Ont, Aug. 2O.-About IL
O'Clock last night fire broke out in Rector
Robinet's house, in this village. Robinet
was awakened by the smoke about the
time the alorm was given from the outside
and groping to the kitchen he opened the
door. A sheet of smoke and flame blew
into his face, driving him backward, sing
ing and burning his face and head. He
then went to the rescue of his family. By
this time crowd had gathered and were
Mortified to see Robinet open one Of the
windows in the second story and throw his
three children, one by one, out. Fortunate.
ly, there were persons there to catch the
children and they escaped injury. Some
of the crowd rushed into the building and
dragged out Mrs. Robinet, who was un-
conscious. Mrs. Robinet's father-in-law
was also fatally hurt The flames next
seized upon wine house and carriage shop
adjoining. The cry went up that there was
a keg of powder in the former. Almost as
soon as this was announced the house
blew up, scattering bricks and debris in all
directions. The people saw the uselessness
of trying to save the three buildings, and
devoted their attention to others in the vi
cinity, which they saved after two hours of
hard work. The property loss will be
about $4,000 Robinet says he don't know
what started the fire, and that he was
crazy when he threw the little children from
the window.

Railroad Complications.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2l.-At meeting of the
western and northwestern divisions Of the
Western Freight association to. day, the
Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City road gave
notice that it would apply the 15-cent scale
of proportional rates on through traffic
from the seaboard to all intermediate
points on its line instead of confning them
to St. Paul and Minneapolis traffic. The
Iowa Central also filed notice of its. in
tention to extablish rates from Peoria to
st. Paul and intermediate points on busi-
ness originating at Buffalo and other
western termini OF trunk lines on the same
basis as established from Chicago to St.
Paul. The action OF these two roads cuts
the rates to Tacoma points on through
business from points east of Chicago. The
change in the situation caused by these
notices proved fertile subject for discus
sion, but no conclusion was reached at the
hour of adjournment, and the matter will
be further considered tomorrow.

The Deadwood Justice Mill.

ST. PAUL, Aug. pa Pioneer Press
Deadwood special says the term of the
United States district court ended there to-
day. Fifteen indictments against timber
cutting were all dismissed. The indict-
ments failed to charge that the timber was
cut on non-mineral grounds. An indict-
ment against Thos. II. White for perjury
in an affidavit stating that $500 worth Of
work was done on mineral claim
in application for United States
patent was perempt0rily dismissed
by the United States district attorney.
This case has attracted considerable atten-
ttOn and much bitter feeling was en- gen
.dered, growing out of adverse reports Of
White on the tin properties in the southern
hills. White was deprived Of his commits
sion as United States deputy mineral sur
sveyOr and indicted q; above, and is now
fully exonerated by the court and public,
Suits for damages against parties prose-
cutting the Indictment are probable.

Insane from Business Troubles.

TOLEDO, Aug. 20.-Three weeks ago
Adam Rommert, we'll known building
contractor, disappeared in mysterious
manner. Some months since Rommert
was awarded a contract for building two
new school buildings in this city. but he
took the job cheaply and finding he would
lose money, left the city. A most diligent
search was made for him by his family and
friends, but without avail and he was
given UP as dead or having fled to avoid
the disgrace of business failure. The
mystery was solved yesterday morning. AS
hunter was passing through some woods
near Grassy Point, three miles below the
city, he discovered man half nude, with
what clothes he had on in tatters. He
called to him and discovered to his great
surprise it was Rommert, whom he knew
well. The unfortunate man hearing his
name called, turned and ran like deer
through the woods, uttering in
sane imprecatiOns as he ran. The matter
was reported to the chief of police, who
detailed a squad OF officers to search for
him. The hunt is now in progress. Mrs.
Rommert is almost distracted at the fate
of her husband.

Through an Ex periment

H.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 90 IA report
of All unfortunate experiment with the
elixir of life is brought from Nevada City
by railroad man. who states that Henry
Seymour, an aged miner, well known by
mining men all over the state, is in a crit
cal condition through an injection made by
a disciple of DIR. Brown-Sequard. Seymour
is nearing the eightieth year of his life He
is we'll preserved. but was desirons of hav.
ing little more strength infused into
him, so a few days ago sought the doctor
in question.
Glad to find so willing a subject the doc.
tor injected the elixir into Seymour's right
forearm, but it is said that 1t was prepared
from the blood of a pig. At first the man
did not suffer any Inconvenience, nor did
he feel in any way rejuvenated. After a
short time the neighbOrhOOdO of the Injected
part became much inf1amed, and OH the
third day the swelling had spread down to
the hand and up to the shoulder. When
last seen by my informant the miners
whole arm had swollen terribly. 1t had a
purple color and gave him the most intense
pain. The fingers of the hand were double
their natural size, and it is impossible to
pull coat over the arm. Doctors who
have been called in entertain gravest
doubts as to the mans chances of recovery.

is SO extraordinary that it has attracted
the attention not only of the curious public,
but of the medical fraternity tar
and near. He was s. years old.
June 18th Mr.. Marvel ate his last square
meal. For thirty-six days he took abso-
lutely nothing into his stomach. On the
thirty eighth day he bit Off a piece of pie.

he drank a small quantity of milk, and at
irregular periods he has continued to do
so. All told, he drank not to exceed one
gallon of milk in the sixty seven days that
have elapsed since he began to fast. His
fast is the longest on record

prominent :, case OF voluntary fast
ing was Tanners. 1t will be re-
called that he ate nothing and drank only
water during forty days. Marvel lived

PURv1s, Miss, Aug. 2O.-The train from
New Orleans having been delayed, Bud
Rcnaud was not placed on trial until 2:3O
p. NJ, on the indictment charging him with
aiding and abetting the Sullivan Kilrain
fight. The state was represented by Dis.
trict Attorney Neville, and the defendant
by Calhoun and Green and Lionel Adams.
Pleas in abatement were rendered by de-
tense, to which the state demurred and the
the court overruIed them. Defense then
filed motion to quash the indictment on
the same grounds, and motion for arrest
ofjudgement in Sullivah's case, and further
more because in the Indictment no otfense
is charged against Remand. Judge Cal
houn argued on the ground that as the in
dictment charged no otfense under COM
mon law there can no be no alder or
abettor in misdemeanor. The motion was
oyerruled, and defense reserved except
ions: The case was then proceeded with,
but in the absence of material witnesses,
court adjourned until tomorrow.
