Miss Talkative turned to retire. and soon
as his landlady stepped out the door Mr.

bitter ring in his voice How she did de-

Then, calming himself, he continued to

paused for moment and read it aloud:

July 4, 1880. A small, elegant cottage in
Englewood rang with the mirth OF many
guests.
1t was the occasion of the marriage of the
daughter of the house, Alice, to Frank

The hands of the small silver clock on
the mantel pointed to the hour of half-past
nine when the prospective mother-in-l law
said to the bride:
Alice, you had better go and dress. 1t
The young lady addressed was tall,
beautiful brunette, and at her mothers
words she moved to her room with grace
and dignity that proved she came of good
family.
Suddenly there was ring at the door

A Valve for Electricity,

A device which may be of considerable
value is described by NJ. Neyreneuf in the
Journal de Physique as an electric valve, by
means of which the current can be sent in
one direction but not in the other. With a
voltameter constructed of two aluminium
electrodes, dilute acid as electrolyte, and an
alternating current, he found that pure by
drogen was evolved at both electrodes, but
on making up an arrangement with one
electrode of aluminium and one Of mercury,
using distilled water as electrolyte, the cur
rent was found to pass in one direction only.

VINcENNEs, Ind, April 19.-SylveBter
Grubb, the murderer of Gertie Downey,
was hanged here at 11:15. Mrs. Denny,
who converted Grubb, took her final
leave of the doomed man. The separa-
ton was very affecting. Grubb rose at
8 O'clock in the morning looking bright
and apparently refreshed, though some
what downcast. At 1l:10 the con
demned man vas led to the scaffold. He
said he was prepared to die. His voice
was clear and distinct. He exhibited no
signs of fear. AT 11:15 the COY
fell. His neck was broken n
ne scarcely moved. The err -
was committed Sept. 13, 1888, at the
Princeton, Ind, fair. He was engaged
to marry Gertie Downey. Mrs. Dow
ney, Gertie's mother, protested against
her daughter keeping company with
Grubb, and prevailed upon her to dis
miss her lover, when he called. He met
Miss Downey at the Princeton fair, and
renewed his appeals TO her not to for
sake him. Upon her declining to have
anything to do with him he turned
upon her like a demon, and fired three
shots at her, from the effects of which
she died three days after. Grubb then

The story of cruelty includes the murder
of one seaman by his being knocked

BURLINGTON, April ta.-The steamer
Everett, q raft boat owned by the Bur-

way from this city to New Boston bay,
when she was struck ,abous Z o'clock by
a terrific gale of wind, and sunk at the
head of Otter island, about eight miles
north of here. She carried sixteen per-.
Sons in all. and as she sunk in about
twenty feet of water all these persons
were flung into the water. Ten of the
sixteen were ON the lower deck or in
other open parts of the boat and these
all managed to escape by hanging to
the overturned craft and clinging to the
small portion Of it which remained
above the water. Capt. Vincent Peel,
Mrs. Harry Bell, the clerk, and her s.
year-old daughter. George Howard
and wife, respectively, first and second
cook, and a nurse girl. name unknown,
were in the cabin. This was submerged
and filled with water, all but one small
corner. Mrs. Howard found this. and
remained in 1t calling for help until the
almost dead. All the others were
drowned. Capt. Peel leaves a wife and
several children, and Mr.. and Mrs. How
ard a little child. The body of Mrs.
Bell has been rescued. but the others are
supposed to be still in the cabin. Tho
survivors called for help until their
cries were heard by Andrew and Sam
uel Jacobs, who rescued them in a
skiff. They were taken to the Illinois
shore, where they made a fire. The
only man in the company who could
not swim escaped without Il wetting by
clinging to the staunchion, and he for
%tnnately had matches in his pocket.
The people are still out in the woods
unsheltered and a hard rain is failing.
The boat was valued at So, 900, but will
be raised with small loss.
