BETTER THAN THE ROPE.
Taking His Choice of How He
Should Die.

Detroit Free Press.
1t was down on the Great Jackson
route. A freight train had met with an
accident, and so our train going south
was off time, and had to run in on a
siding and wait for the lightning ex-
press coming up from New Orleans.
Many of US were strolling about, pick
ing blackberries or gathering flowers,
when some one suddenly shouted:
Everybody keep quiet and listen?
Hark!''
1t was the deep, far-away bay of a
hound, and after half minute we re-
allied that it was coming nearer.
"The dogs are running a deer"
shouted one of the men, "and If we
string out we may get shot.
Fifteen OF twenty men, each with re-
vOlver, strung out along the track, and
just then we heard the iron rails begin
to signal that the express was coming.
Two minutes later we heard her whistle.
There were three or four dogs in the
chase, and as they drew nearer it was
evident that the game would cross the
track below the bridge. We ran down
crossing. We were hardly there when
a coal black negro, bare-headed and III
rags, leaped out of the brush on the
track and stood facing US. The dogs
had somehow lost him, and were baying
in the thicket forty rods away.
What his crime was we could not say.
He was powerful big fellow, and as he
stood there, arms folded across his heav-
ing breast. his face had terrible look.
He was only pist0l-ShOt away, but no
one raised a weapon. On the contrary,
one of the crowd shouted to him.
'..Off the track or you'll be killed."
He turned and saw the express thun-
dering down the level stretch, and then
faced us again. The engineer blew an
alarm, but he stood there like rock.
The train was running over that stretch
as pigeon flies, sparks of fire flashing
from the rails and a great cloud of dust
Whirling behind it, and the speed could
not even be checked. The black man
looked neither to the right or the left.
The dogs were coming nearer, but they
were too late. Those who did not turn
their faces aside saw the pilot fling him
fifty feet high, and as the body fell it
splashed into the creek at our feet nd
lay there, only half hidden by the shall
low waterS-bruised, broken, dead. 1t
had scarcely struck the water when
five OF six dogs broke from the thicket
and crossed the tracks, and close upon
them were four men. But they had ar.
rived too late. The hunted man had
taken his choice of how he would die.

The Northwestern Miller is authority
for the statement that the papers in the
lease of the G. @. Washburn mills to the
Pittsburgh ashburn syndicate remain
yet unsigned, and there is every proba-
bility that the deal will not
go through. The paper says! ut
seems that since j. B. Gest,
of Philadelphia, who controls two
thirds of the stock of the G. G. Wash
burn FIGURING Mills company, entered
into an agreement for lease Of the
mills legal complications have arisen
which threaten the defeat of the whole
arrangement. The minor details appear
to have been left for adjustment at the
annual meeting of the G. G. Washburn
company, and at that time stipulations
were made which the Pillsbury COM
pany is unwilling to concede.
One of these is that the Washburn
mills shall be kept in steady operation
and the flour brands be used and given
the same prominence as is done by the
present lessees. Another condition ex-
acted is that the patent flour of the G.
G. Washburn mills shall be sold for a
no lower price than 'Pillsbury's
Best" The first condition, though
severe one, is less objected to than
the latter one. The isnothing in which
c. A. Pillsbury prldes himself more
than in the claim that "Pillsbury's
Best sells for price higher than any
other patent, and in many places his
competitors admit the truth of this
Under the circumstances, it can be
easily imagined that Mr.. Pillsbury
would seriously object to being
bound to ask as much for the
Washburn patent, however meritorious
it may be, as his own. On the
other hand, the owners of the mills feel
as though their brands could be handled

A FAST OF A HUNDRED DAYS.
Singing Hymns in the Intervals of
COnvulsions---Help for More
Than Nine Months.
ON Snecial Philadelnhia Press

AIlento wn Special Philadelphia Press.
Mrs. Ellen, wife of Adam Wuchter,
who has not tasted of food since Good
Friday, to-day passed the one-hunI
dredth day of her fast. During the FAM
ily's nineteen years. residence at White
hall station their career was marked
with success until eight years ago, when
the mother was taken ill. There are
three children in the family, two sons
and one daughter, ranging in age
from nine to eighteen years. The
Press correspondent to-day called at
the home OF Mr.. Wuchter, and saw
the invalid lady. When ushered into
her room, the bed OH which she lay was
surrounded by her husband, children
and mother-in-law. The poor woman,
while lying with white cloth across
her eyes, was suddenly seized with
epileptic commissions and beat unceas-
ingly upon the pillows. Though her
frame is nothing but skeleton, she
threw herself about upon the bed,
which reeled and creaked as if agitated
by person five times her weight.
When the commissions ceased she be-
came motionless for few moments.
Her lips then moved and she sang the
words: II need Thee every hour, o
Lord, l need Thee; Oh. bless me now,
nv Savior" She failed to finish the
verse, having been overcome by weak
ness.
Her husband said that she has been
In helpless condition for over nine
months, in which time she has taken no
medicine, and all endeavors to give her
relief have proved unsuccessful. The
last fluid that passed her mouth was on
FrsI n q
little coffee. Previous to that time she,
at intervals. tasted food only after it
had been changed from solid TO a
liquid form. When either food or drink
is offered her she shrinks from it as if
it were poison. She does not even al
low water to touch her lips, and when
efforts are made to give it to her she
turns about and buries her head under
the pillow, uttering pitiful grOanS.
The perspiratiOn stands in large
drops upon her body and
at times blood oozes from her eyes
and rolls down her cheeks. DR.. Clinton
Sieger, of Siegerfried's Bridge. the at
tending physician, was seen, and he
prOnOunceS the case cancer OF the
pharynx. He said that upon his visits
to the house he held quite interesting
conversations with the woman.
An incident which took place during
one of these visits proves what strong
will she has. He spoke to her in refer
ence to the matter, and gave her words
of encouragement, but she answered
with smile and sarcasm. saying that
she knew as well as himself that there
was no hope. The physician further
said that for the past four months no
pulse had been discernible. Prominent
physicians from Philadelphia, New
York and other places. who have visited
the patient, say that the case is the
most remarkable on record. Mrs.
Wuchter is thirty-eight years OF age.

The Sudden Return To Life of a
Supposed Dead Maiden.
Athens Banner
Last week Miss Polite LunsfoTd, of
Gaddistown, Union county. aged sixteen
years, was taken suddenly i'll. and DR..
Jones, of this city, was summoned to
her bedside. He pronounced her illness
due from cold and exposure, and told
the mother of the young lady that there
was little chance of her daughters re-
covery. For three days the young lady
grew worse, and on Tuesday morning
she, to all appearances, died. The
neighbors and friends of the family had
gathered in, and the body of the dead
girl was prepared for burial. Her arms
were crossed over her breast and her
eyelids closed. No color of life was Wis
lille i'm her cheeks. Her hands and face
were cold, as if dead. Her pulse had
ceased to beat. The coffin was sent for.
But as the mother and friends of the
deceased sat around her inanimate
form and mourned her as dead she sud
denly returned to life. Unaided she
arose from her bed and went to the
water bucket and drank glass of
water. Then she asked her mother
and brother to kneel with her in prayer.
which they did, together with all those
present. The girl made fervent
prayer, asking God to direct her mother
and brother in the paths of right:
After the prayer she sang and talked
with her mother for about an hour,
when she told those about her that she
was going to die-that she felt the
death angels touch. Hardly had she
uttered the words than she fell back
upon her pillow and exnlIed. Those
about her were astOnishedX he mother
was loath to have her daughter buried.

trance and would return to life. But
she was really dead this time, and on

ern Miller. The aggregate production
of fifteen mills was 99,1O0 barrels,
averaging 1855 barrels daily, against
1890 the week before, 1890 barrels
for the corresponding time in 1889 and
1S1, 900 barrels in 1888. Most everybody
has more or less orders ahead, and when
ever the mills are in shape to run they
are placed in service. Two more are in
operation on the platform than week

seventeen, and they were producing at
the rate of about 10000 barrels per TWEEN
ty-four hours. These figures are to be
materially added to next week by sew

der full Roadway. The water power is
ample, but when the additional capacity

A MINK FARM.
The Kind of Englishman That
Needs Nurse Badly.

N0GIS q NURSE bdulys
Chicago Tribune.
Lord Wynford stopped at North
Platte, Neb., during his tour of the
prairies. He seemed greatly pleased
with the wild West, and intimated that
he would like to invest some money in
something good. There was smart
young Irish lawyer in the town whose
parents had had some unpleasant deal
ings with Lord Wynford in the old
country. This young lawyer had
lived in North Platte about
two years. He came there to
examine a claim he had purchased
on paper. To his disappointment his
farm was nothing but a prairie dog
town. You could not raise even sage
brush on the claim, so close together
were the burrows of the little animals.
He had about given up all hopes of dis
posing of his land, when he learned that
Lord Wynford was looking for good
investment. Then he called upon that
wealthy foreigner and offered for sale
what he called 1.-THE most profitable In
dustry in America" He told the British
lord that he had been ten years estab-
fishing a mink farm, and just as the en-
terprise was beginning to coin money

how the minks were raised. how
their skins were disposed of and the
great demand for mink fur in this cOun-
try. The young Irishman pledged Lord
Wynford to say nothing of the deal, as
his mink farm was only known to few
who were in similar enterprises. Thea
he drove his guest out to his prairie dog
| farm.
Here an extensive tract of land, desti-
tute of trees and alive with little ami
mails that burrowed in the ground and
barked like small dog, was thoroughly

the blackened mass was still red hot,
and water was being poured onto it. AS

search will be commenced for the body,
and it is thought that it will be recov-

manner the building was overlooked by
the building inspector when ordering

were none OH the building.
