The KEELY HABEAs CORPUS CAsE.-The
Pennsylvania supreme court in Philadelphia
Saturday afternoon heard argument upon a
writ of habeas corpus taken out to relieve
John w. Keely from the order of commitment
to prison made against him for contempt of
court in failing to obey the order of the court
OF common pleas to exhibit and explain to ex-
perts the motor upon which he is at present
working. Wayne MacVeagh, Keely's counsel.
criticised Judge Finletter's judicial conduct in
the case with unsparing severity. He said that
the order committing Keely to prison was
without precedent in all the annals of equity
Jurisprudence, characterizing it as unnecessary
and irregular, and as having been made in
cynical contempt of the ordinary and regular
forms for the administration of Justice. Mr..
Shapley, on the other hand, said that Keely
was juggling with the court, and that the COM
mitment was proper. The argument lasted all
day. The court reserved its decision.

5 A Child.Faeed Rat.

A singular freak of nature is cn exht-
bition at the rooms of the Natural His
tory Club, in Houston, Texas. It was
brought in yesterday By German family
named ,Schweinfeldt, living in the su-3 SUI
burbs Of this city, who tell the following
remarkable story in connection with the,
strange creature:
A few months ago they were aroused
one night by shrin scream of pain from
their year-old baby. Rushing to the
cradle nothing was seen of heard, but
the next morning, while bathing the
child, the mother observed two red spots
on the arm near the braciaf artery, look
ing as if they had been punctured by
needle. The arm swelled a good deal
and was still very sore. In about q week
the baby was found dead in its cradle
and bathed in blood. The jugular vein
had been bitten through. .fi
The physician who was called In, on
seeing the small but fatal wound, which
consisted of hole the size darning
needle might have made, and hearing the
history of the swelled arm, Immediately
said that both bites had been inflicted by
q rat. .. -
After the baby's burial the Schwe1n-
feldts naturally determined to rid their
house'of the dangerous rodents, and conse-
quently traps of every fashion were placed
about. Many were caught and drowned.
One night, several months after the
death of the baby, rat was heard run
ming about its narrow prison, and simuE
taneously the crying of a child was heard
near by. The head of the family procrrT
ing a light, rushed to the place whence,
the cries seemed to come. To his aston
ishment it proceeded from the rat-trag,
in which could be seen one of those AMI
mails.
Taking up the trap he examined the
rat closely and was further amazed 20
find that the creatures face strongly re-
sembled that of a human being, while
vet it retained the characteristics Of g
rat. It cried piteously and so much hke
hurt child as to be easily mistaken for
for one when out of sight.
It is this rat which is now on exhibl-
ton at the Natural History Clubs Rooms.
Its eyes are somewhat larger and more hn- Z.
man-looking and have more distinctive
lids than are usual. The nose, however,
is the most remarkable feature, being de-
cidedly marked and prominent, with
swelling nostrils. The mouth is small
and has unmistakable lips, but the teeth
are are long, m keen and rat-like. The feet feet:
show a Slight resemblance to the human
hand, although the nails are curved like
claws.
DR.. Pinning, President of the Natural
History Club, and noted naturalist
agrees with the Schweinfeldts In think
ing this must be the offspring of the rat
that killed the baby, and the phenome-
non is due to her milk being formed from
the childs blood which she sucked

Into q Burning Mine in Divers Suits.

The unique experiment of sending
down divers in Submarine armor to
locate the fire in tbB Idaho mine, near
Grass Valley, COL, and to find the bodies
of the two miners who perished, has
proved failure. The men descended In
ordinary clothing to the 7O0-foot level,
where they put on divers suits: Hundreds
were at the mine watching the rope as
it slowly uncoiled with the load of living
freight. There were frequent stops, and
at each signal the watchers became more
anxious. When the cage got below thes
9O0-foot level three sharp bells were
sounded as signal to hoist. 1t was then
known something was the matter. Inc
cage was brought to the surface.
The men had got below the 9oo-foot
level, when the heat became SO intense
human life could not exist, and the ad-|
venturers were compelled to retreat. The
helmets became hot and the rubber)
gossamer began to melt at the wrists.
While the divers were down the shaft,
between the 900 and 1O00-foot level,
they both got a whit of gas In their
helmets. This happened to both at the
same time. How the gas got in they cannot
tell. This compelled them to send the|
signal to be hoisted up.-&. LOUIS Glooe-

Convicted by the Clock.

A lady from Ithaca, the birthplace OF
Ex-Governor Cornell and his wife, told
me yesterday a good story apropos Of the
perils of welded life, which the Cover
nor told at his own expense. It seems
that when in office at Albany he would
sometimes return home late at night, atte1|
his wife had retired, and when she asked
him what time it was would answer
uAbout twelve" or ga little aftev mid
night" One evening instead of making
the inquiry, she said: '.Alonzo, wish
YOU would stop that clock; I cannot
Sleep for its noise" All unsuspicious, hf
stopped the pendulum. In the morning
while dressing Mrs. Cornell inquired art
lessly: "Oh, by the way, what time did
you get homeG" "About midnight" re
nlied the Governor. "Alonzo, look a
that clockl" The hands of the clocH
pointed to half-past 2. The GovernoI
was crushed.-Philadslphia Record. q.

SIX PEOPLE FOUND DEAD.

Four Women and Two Men Suffo-
Gated by Gas in Paterson. N. j.
The bodies of six parsons, two men and four
women, were found asphyxiated by gas at
No. SO Water street, Paterson, N. J. The
apartment on the lower floor Of the house
was occupied by John Godfrey, aged nearly
eighty years, silk weaver in the employ
Of r. & a. Adams. Although he had only
Dne room with a partition running partly
across it near the rear, he had beon In the
habit Of giving lodgtug to abandoned women
who called at his place at all hours Of the
night. Three days before the discovery
number were there and since that time
there had been no sign of life about
the place. Mrs. Seiferth, who lives up
stairs, noticed smell of gas and informed
the police Of the case. An entrance was
forced and horrible sight presented itself.
IN the forward part of the apartment were
the bodies of four women, three on the floor
and one on a chair. One of the women
lay in pool of blood, but this
Is believed to have been caused by O
tall, as there was no evidence of a fight
although the greatest disorder prevailed. In
the rear Of the room was found Godfrey's
body and that of another man, the latter
sitting on the floor, dressed. None but God
frey was identified. The gas came from
gas stove near Godfrey's body, the stop-cock
Of which had not been fully turned off.
