SCRANTON, Pa, June 24.-The pictur-
esque pleasure resort known as Nayaug
Falls, on the outskirts of Scranton, was
the scene of an accident Sunday which
was witnessed by thousand horror
stricken persons and resulted in the
death of Jennie Keller, thirteen years
old The girl with party Of COM
panions was walking along sloping
cliff which oyerhangs the deep chasm
through which roaring brook runs
noisily to the falls below, when she lost
her footing and went tumbling over the
precipice, height of nearly hundred
feet, and was dashed to death on the
rocks.
A cry of horror rose from the crowd of
pleasure seekers and scores of men
hastened to the spot whore the poor
girl lay. They carried her lifeless body
to the station at which the electric cars
halt and there it was found shortly after
by her heart-broken relatives. The
scene of this Sunday afternoon tragedy
is wild and precipitous spot in the
midst of the most beautiful surround
ings. 1t is visited on Sunday afternoons
by thousands.

Spontaneous Combustion of Man.

Dickens has been very much criti-
cised for his apparent acceptance of the
fact of human spontaneous combustion,
but the late Sir William Gull testified
to surprising case before the commit
tee of the House Of Lords on intemper-
ance during the summer of 1886. A
large, bloated man, who was suffering
from difficulty of breathing and great
distention of the venous system, died
at Guys Hospital. AT the post-mortem
of the following day there wac no sign
of decomposition, but the body was dis
tended with what was thought to be
gas. "When punctures were made into
the skim" said Sir William, ''and a
lighted match applied, the gas which
escaped burned with the blue fame Of
carburetted hydrogen. AS many as q
dozen of these little flames were burn
ing at one time. London Court Jour

AN HEROIC SERGEANT.
He Deliberately Risks His Life to Give
Aid to the Wounded and Dying.

Aid to the Wounded and Dying.
At the close of the first bloody day of
the battle of Fredericksburg December
IS, 1862, hundreds of the Union wound
ed were left lying on the ground and
the road ascending Maryes Heights,
victims who fell in Sykes desperate
charges on Kershaw's entrenched brig
ade.
All night and the most of the next
day the open space was swept by artil-
lery shot from both the opposing lines,
and no one could venture to the sufferers
relief. AL that time their agonizing
cries went up for Water, water" but
there was no one to help them, and the
roar of the guns Knocked their distress.
Many who heard the poor soldiers
piteous appeals felt the pangs of human
compassion, but stifled them under dread
necessity. But at length one brave fell
low behind the stone rampant, where
the Southern forces lay, gave way to his
sympathy and rose superior to the love
of life. He was sergeant in n South
Carolina regiment, and his name was
hurried to General Kershaw's headquar-
ters, and. finding the commanding Of
ticer, said to him. eNcitedly:
General, l can't stand this any
longer"
Whats the matter sergeant?" asked
the General.
"Those poor souls out there have been
praying and crying all night and all
day, and it's more than j can bear.
ask your permission to go and give them
water"
"But do You know" said the General,
admiring the soldiers noble spirit, ''do
you know that as soon as you show your
self to the enemy you will be shot?'
Eyes, sir, know it; but to carry lit
tie comfort to those poor fellows dying,
I'm willing to run the risk. If you say
may, rll try it."
The General hesitated moment, but
finally said, with emotion: "KirlSland,
it's sending you to your death; but can
oppose nothing to such motive as
yours For the sake of it hopo God
will protect you. Co."
Furnished with supply of water, the
brave sergeant Immediately stepped

and, tenderly raising his head, held the
cooling cup to his parched lips. Before
his first service of love was finished
every one in the Union lines understood
the mission of the noble soldier in gray,
and not man fired shot.
He staid there on that terrible field an
hour and half, giving drink to the
thirsty and dying, strengthening their
cramped and mangled limbs, pillowing
their heads on their knapsacks, and
spreading their army coats and blankets
over them, as a mother would cover her
child, and all the while he was so en-
gagged, until his gentle ministry wps
finished, the fusillade of death was
hushed. Hatred forbore its rage in q

Wife of Dead Desperate Gives the His

TEXARKANA, Ark, June 24.-Rad-
cliffe, the wounded train robber who
died here on Saturday, in his dying mo-
ments stated that he was too weak to
talk, but that after his death his wife
would make statement for him. Sun
day evening Mrs. Radcliffe gave the
details of the affair as far as she knew
them and she will give her story under
oath in court. She says the persons
now in Jail, Detective Williams, Napo.
leon Mcdaniel and John Brownley, are
the persons who, with her husband,
committed the robbery; that Radcliffe
did the shooting which disabled the ex-
press agent that Mcdonald shot Rad
cliffe by mistake, supposing that he was
one of the train men.
Mrs. Radcliffe had besought her hus-
band to have nothing to do with the
robbery, but he refused to follow her
advice. She knew of the plans which
were being made, but was enforced to
silence. Her evidence and other devel.
opments which are expected will doubt
less cause sensation in court.

CAMPFIRE STORIES.
A.TouoHINe INCIDENT.
A Baby Found on the bloody Battlefield
of the IIatchie.


of the IIatchie.
Let me relate to you touching little
incident that will seem little strange
10 you. l thought it passing strange, If
not wonderful, when l witnessed it. At
the battle OF the lIatchie, when the con-
flict was waging fiercest, upon advancing
midway between the contending forces,
we found-what do you think? Not a
masked battery, nor any engine of
death, but sweet little blue-eyed baby.
Sweet little thing, as l saw it there,
hugging the cold earth-its only bed
the little tear on its cheek. That ma
ture bid it weep unalarmed mid the aw-
full confusion of that fearful battle, with
the missiles of death lying thick about
1t, and yet unhurt, it seemed wonder
full veritication of the Divine declara-
tion, "Out of the mouths of babes and
sucklings will l ordain wisdom" That
little child of war as it lay in it's mirac-
ulous safety, seemed to say to me these
words of profound instruction, "My
helplessness and innocence appealed to
God, and he preserved mo in the midst
of carnage. II you will make your plant
to Heaven God will preserve your poor
bleeding country"
flash of musketry, the thunder of can
non and the clash of arms, will watch
your course through life, if possible,
and see what your history may be. Who
would suppose that in the wild, fierce
battle of the Hatchie, where the field
was strewn with tho dead, and the
shrieks of the wounded rent the heav-
ems with agony, great army would
pause in the thickest of the conflict to
save harmless, helpless child? Yet
the brave Fourteenth, that never yet
has quailed in battle, did pause, and an
officer of the regiment ordered ''our lit
tie baby carried to headquarters and
tenderly cared for.
l remember of having read some
where in Grecian history story some
thing like the one | have related. A
little child was found on the battle
field, and by an infuriated soldier was
trampled in the dust. After the battle
the victorious General, in an address to
his army said: ''But for the blood of q
little child that mars it, our victory
would have been complete" Thank God
the blood of no little child marred our
victory.
The next day after the battle ''our
babe" was brought before the Four.
teenth, and unanimously adopted ''child
of the regiment" Three or four days
later, strange as it may seem, poor,
| heart-stricken mother came searching
the battlefield in quest of her child.
Imagine if you can, the wild exclama
tions of thanksgiving that burst from,
that poor woman's heart when informed
that her child had been rescued, and
with a mothers tenderness cared for
saw the mother receive her child, heard
ner brief prayer for the soldiers who
saved it, and with the blessings of {
thousand men following her and hers
she took away ''our little baby"-little
blue-eyed, laughing baby.-Extract
