TWO YOUNG WOMEN KILLED.
They Jump Wildly From Carriage DurI

They Jump Wildly From "A Carriage During
Runaway,
The runaway occurred on Saturday af-
ternoon Oh the boulevard between New
ark and Elizabeth by which two young
women lost their lives. Misses Mary F.,
Carrie and Lottie Tyler, three sisters of
Newark, started for drive to Elizabeth
in two-seated surrey. While passing on
the boulevard, the team of horses attached
to the vehicle took fright from the dis
charge of guns by the East Side Gun Club,
whose members were having pigeon
shooting match. The horses became un-
manageable and finally ran away, despite
the exertions of the colored coachman.
The young women lost their presence of
mind and leaped wildly from the carriage.
Mary E. Tyler, aged thirty-six, who is .
teacher in the Lawrence street public
school in Newark struck on her
head on the macadamized road, crushing
her skull and badly decorating her face.
She was picked up insensible and carried
to tho hotel, where she died half an hour
later. Her sister Carrie, age twenty-slx,
who is q teacher in the Summer avenue
school, was likewise unconscious when
taken up. DR.. James S. Green after ex-
amining Miss Carrie, said that her case
was serious, as she was suffering from
conclusion of the brain. She died few
hours later.
The third inmate of the carriage, Miss
Lottie Tyler, escaped with few slight
bruises. The horses ran only a few hun
dred feet after the accident when they
were stopped. The ladies were taken to
Elizabeth, and the sister who had escaped
was taken to her home heart-broken. The
men who did the shooting will be ar

Hon. William Gould, of Windham, in
. letter to The Portland Press, gives an
account of Ransom, who in the first
years Of the present century came to
Portland and pretended to be able to
transmute metals. From lead found on
q small island near Freeport he obtained
silver. He had his crucibles and other
apparatus in shop on Exchange street.
Several reputable citizens were deceived
and fieeced. Itwas finally proposed that
he be watched, and a hole was bored
over his private room. 1t was found that
he rolled up pistareen, coin worth
twenty cents, and inserted it in the end
of the wand with which he stirred the
molten contents of his crucible.
1t had been noticed as a curious fact
that the ingot he found in his crucible
was invariably of the value of q fifth of
a dollar. One of the ingredients on
which he relied was May dew, and he Of
fered high price for its collection.
Country people brought in such large
quantities of this dew that he was at first
appalled,. But he got out of it by testing
the dew and asserting that the sun had
shone on some part of it and spoiled the
whole. The water it had cost such labor
to gather was poured into the gutter.
He was brought to trial and strong eff
forts were made to have him exhibited in
the pillory, but he escaped punishment.

Not Disposed to Inxest.

We meet some queer people among
the many who are constantly fitting into
and out of this store, but an old man and
his wife, upon whom I waited few days
ago, took the prize for pure, unadulter-
ated simplicity. The couple were evil
IDENTIFY on their first visit from the coun-
try. When l approached them the old
lady, who was undoubtedly master of
ceremonies, stated that they wanted to
purchase soup tureen.~
"Do you want plated ware or silver?
asked.
"Solid silver, ter be sure, the woman
responded, with glance that, had been
anybody else than a salesman, would
have frozen me.
After seeing number of designs the
old lady decided upon one and inquired
the price.

answered, as called to boy to take the
article to the shipping room.

Wall, swami For few minutes they
gazed at me, as if had expressed an
intention of robbing them, after which
they conferred together. Presently the
old gentleman turned around, and in a
quivering voice said he guessed they'd
better buy plated tureen, as that was
just as good.
We have several dozen designs in
plated ware in stock, and after critically
examining each one the old lady plucked
up courage enough to ask the price of
one that had only recently been pro-
duced, and was selling for $1s. When I
mentioned the price, she looked blankly
at her husband and said she guessed we
didn't have anything to suit them. AS
they were going out of the store, over
heard the remark, "What mighty dear

newitched Milk.

F. S. Bean. n former Oxford dean, now
residing in Cadott, Wis, communicates
a strange tale of an old Oxford county
superstition to The Norway Advertiser.
He says that when he was lad the peo-
pie of his neighborhood used to believe
that an old woman living there was a
witch. She became provoked with a
neighbor because the latter refused to
sell her Il COW. and thereafter no butter
could be made from that cows milk
No matter how long they churned, the
butter would not come. AS the story
goes, a girl in the family had heard that a
witch could be burned and dispossessed by
dropping red hot horseshoe in the churn
with the cream. She tried the expert
ment, whereupon she declared that a
scream issued from the churnl The but
ter soon came, and scar in the shape of
horseshoe was afterwards seen on the
old woman's person by some imaginative
observer. "When was boy, l believed
the story, but my faith is somewhat
shaken now" says Mr.. Bean.

THE WAY TIE PUBLIC MONEY GOES

Contractors who built gunboats for the
Government during the war are still beg
ging for more money. One of the claims
(McKay'D was allowed by Congress, and
the bill was vetoed by Mr.. Cleveland. The
Republicans will allow all these, and no
one knows the exact amount involved. 1t
will reach millions.
The building of the United States peni-
tentiaries is worthy object, but there is
corruption in the present scheme. 1t
will call tor the expenditure of 81 ,000,-
Tie present cost of keeping Federal pris-
oners is $500, 900 per annum. 1t will be
twice as much under the new system.
The Republicans intend to pass the di-
rect tax bill, which Mr.. Cleveland vetoed.
This will cost about $4,000, ,00O.
They intend 10 pass the Blair eduoa-
tional bill, which will involve an expendi-
ture of $77,OOO,OOO.
Many millions will be granted as sub
sides to ships IN the foreign carrying
trade ard for mail service.
1t is intended to add hundreds of mil.
ions to the pension account by the re-
peal of the limitation in arrears act.
The term fixed in the original statue was
1889.
There will be passed the biggest river
and harbor bill at this season of Congress
that the country has ever known.
The Hale navy bill and the Dolph
Notifications bill involve at least $780,.
100000.
A service pension bill will be passed,
which will call for an expenditure of
100000 900. 1t is speaking within
bounds to say that the thirteen regular
pension bills will aggregate not less than
$1,000 900 more than those of the last
season.
The Hennepin canal alone will cost $21,-
900 900.
With the rules of the House as they are
at present, and a clear chance for iobbery
in the Senate, there will be little difficulty
in putting through the proposed measures
to do away with the surplus. Almost every
scheme projected by the Government gets
into the hands OF the jobbers before it goes
far. At the present day Congress does
very little except to provide for spending
the peoples money.

Where Some Rags Go.

Housewives must often have wondered
where all the rags go to after they pass
into the wagon of any one of the several
hundred ragmen who pass through the
alleys with their monotonous cries.
These gatherers of old rags take them to
warehouses where they are bought in
bulk, and then assorted by girls accord
ing to quality. There was a time when
most of the rags were sent to paper
mills. Now very small proportion Of
rags are made into paper, straw and clay
being the chief ingredients. Fine linen
paper, so called, is made of rags. Ninety
per cent. of the rags collected, however,
go into the manufacture of "shoddy," of
which cheap ready made clothing is
manufactured. This stuff is now made
up into the brightest and most attractive
patterns, and can only be told when new
from wool by the expert, and by expert
ence with the wearer.-Clothing Man in

New York Sun.
The appointment of negro of the name
of Dudley as Postmaster at Americus
Georgia, seems 10 be as distasteful to the
white Republicans as to the Democrats. of
that State. 1t cannot be said that the OBJ
iectio to Dudley is founded upon the
mere accident OF color if the story told in
the atlanta Consultation by Col. Jack
Brown, an Americus Republican now
living at Washington, is true. Perhaps,
as Col. Jack is not fond of Col Buck, the
Republican boss of Georgia, and has a
son who thinks that the Amcricus Post
mastership is about his size. But Col.
Jacks narrative is told with considerable
spirit and has at least an air of probable
ity:

of Dudley on the grounds OF a reward Dudley

refused to buy him. Allison was not buying del

and put him on the Harrison block. Bill Dud-
ley, OF Indiana, quickly bid his price, and got
him for Harrison. The negro, Dudley, carried
out his contract. He got his money, all he ask

Col. Jack Brown, it will be observed,
doesn't take high moral ground in regard
to the little change of commodities which
he describes as passing between the two
Dudleys. What sticks in his crop is that
Dudley of Americas got a reward
from Dudley of Indianapolis for
voting for Harrison. and now
gets another reward from Harrison
for the came service. Col. Jack seems to
have a shade of regret, to, because the
Allison men were not buying delegates.
Perhaps If the colored Dudley had been
offered to some candidate with more cap
ital than the Harrison managers had,
more than hundred dollars might have
been paid. Why didn't Col. Jack take
him to the Alger headquarters The

MIR. WILLIAM H. POTTS II FAD.

s:3O O'Clock,
Mr.. William Ii. Potts died at the resi-
dence of Mr.. Andrew Beck, No. 49S
Chaplin street, ,Conemaugh borough, Tues
day afternoon about 2:30 o'clock.
Mr.. Potts came here in 1879, wi en- the
Gautier Mills were removed here from
Jersey City. He was roll turner by oc-
cupation, and for many yea RS held the
position of boss roll-turner at the Gautier
Mills. About two years after coming here
he married Miss Ella, daughter of Mr..
James X. Davis, of Conemaugh borough,
who survives him. They had no children
Prior to the flood Mr.. and Mrs. Potts
lived at No. 80 Maple avenue, Woodvae
Alarmed by the high water on the morn
ing of May 2:st they sought safety ON the
higher ground, thus escaping the delug.e
Their home and all its contents were lost
and the excitement and hardships incident
to living here after the flood bore too
heavily on Mr.. Potts health, which for
some time previous had been some
what delicate. Since that great trial he
grew steadily worse till, as state l. ,elth
ended all.
The deceased was very popular
and much esteemed man. Few strang-
ers coming to the city in SO short time
had as many friends as he had. He was
gentleman of more than ordinary
ability, having strong conyictions, which
he never feared to express,

A Mysterious Affair-One of the Members
Expected to Die Last Night.
About a week ago family named
Boyer, residing on the hill above Huber
street in Cenemaugh borough, near the
Frankstown road, was attacked with mys-
terious and sudden illness. The family
consists of father and mother, and two
boys aged eight and six years. The fam.
lily came here from Reading after the food,
and the husband has made prccarious
living for them, DR.. w. +. Matthews
was sent for and found them all i'll. and
has been attending them ever since. He
thinks they are suffering from lead poison
ing, as the patients have all the symptoms
indicating that. The family has used
quite lot of canned goods. The water
they use, however, comes from very
filthy well on the premises. The mothers
right arm was paralyzed yesterday, and
the others are affected in that way. Last
evening it was thought the older boy
would not live until this morning
