The EIopement and Marriage OF Sam
Jones' Daughter.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Dec. 28.-The
greatest social sensation that the South
has known for years was the elopement
last night Of Miss Anna C.. Jones, the IL
year old daughter Of Rev. Sam. Jones,
the noted evangelist, with William NJ.
Graham, stenographer Of the Cherokee
Judicial circuit In Georgia. The couple
have been fond Of each other for two or
three years, but Rev. Jones and his wife
have bitterly opposed the match on ac-
count Of the youth of the young lady.
The elopement was well planned and
executed, L. B. Robeson. principal of
the public schools Of Cartersville, Ga,
and DR.. ]. e. Mays, with Graham, ar
ranged the plot. Miss Jones and Gra-
ham went horseback riding with a
Christmas party, and purposely be-
coming separated from their compan-
ions, rode rapidly to Rogers station.
DR.. Mays was there with the license.
Rev. DIR. Bachman refused to perform
the ceremonies, and Rev. DR.. Dumdell,
rector of ST. Paul's Episcopal church,
officiated, the young lady giving her
age as %. The affair has created in
tense interest here, as Rev. ] ZONES at one

Speed and Power of Birds.

Prof. r. Thurston In the January Forum.1
The vulture Is said to fly, at times, at
the rate of above 100 miles an hour: the
wild goose and the swallow, in their
migrations make so miles an hour; and
the carrier pigeon has certainly flown
long distances at rates of speed ranging
from 90 up to 80 miles an hour, and for
many hours together. The common
crow ordinarily lounges across country
at the rate Of 25 or 80 miles an hour, the
speed of railway train. Professor
Langley finds that the power exerted
by the eagle in full flight is but frac-
tion of one horse power. Mr.. Chanute
computes the power exerted by pig.
con flying 1900. feet per minute, 25
miles an hour nearly, at 1000 of horse
power per pound, or OF horse power for
flying machine of equal good form,
weighing one ton, at 25 miles an hour,
or about so horse power per ton weight
at so miles. Mr.. Wenham, member
of the British Aeronautical Society,
finds, in the pelican, an expenditure of
Ill horse power by 21 lbs. of bird, and
this is one horse power to 231 lbs, or
about horse power for the weight of
q man, allowing ample margin for sur
pluspower. The birds are found to have
q surplus lifting power of about one
half. Professor Langley has purchased
recently for the Smithsonian Institu-
ton the prize steam engine ofthe Aero
nautical Society Of 1858, which, with
car and screws, weighs only 16 lbs, and
but l3 without these essentials. To the
engineer these facts certainly look en-

THE INFLUENzA.
The Malady ID Discussed by the Paris
soc Academy Of Medicine.


PARIS, Dec. 25. DR.. German See
read a paper on the Influenza before
the Academy of Medicine OF this city,
which was discussed by other distih-
guisheds members Of the profession.
DR.. See thought the Academy should
not encourage the opinion that the ep.
idemic was without gravity. He said
that the patients were very apt to have
pneumonia or bronchitis in fatal forms.
> DR.. Dujordin Beaumetz disagreed
with DIR. See as to some points in the
nature of the malady, but not as t0 the
fact that it iB not always benign. He
believed that the epidemic was a form
of dengue "a peculiarly epidemic fever
allied to therheunatic affections. He
had observed that It presented two
phases: First a nervous. phase and next
a Catarrhal phase, ana that there was
sometimes q slight eruption, simple
rash. The variations In the disease
were due to, q. .predominance in, the case
Uf any Of these facts. N gs,M
DR.. Richard suggested that the rash
might perhaps bea part Of the disease,
but only o consequence of the large
quantities Of anti-pyrine given to the
patients. ~
All the speakers concurred In the
opinion that the disease is not harm.

FAMILY OF ELEVEN CREM.

Father, Mother, Their Eight Child

Nothing But Their Charred Re
mains Secured.
DETROIT, Mich. Dec. ga Tribune
special from Hancock, Mich, says: A
calamity not surpassed in the annals of
the country occurred at 8 o'clock this
morning at. Hurontown. A family
named Gross, consisting of the parents
and eight children, with a visitor, were
consumed in building dwelling.
Theodore Gross and wife returned
from dance near by at 2 o'clock. AT
2:30 son. Theodore, returned from
the Huron Stamp Mills, where he is
employed. He went into the house
and to bed. Shortly after he was
awakened by his brother Nicholas, who
heard screams coming from an adjoin-
ing room occupied by their three sisters
and three little brothers. They ran to
the partition door and found the room
q mass of flames. Smoke and fire were
ascending the stairway, and the boys
escaped by jumping through q window.
They reached the glound seriously cut
by glass and in q semi-nude condition.
One attempted to enter the house on
the ground floor, where their, father,
mother and two children slept, but was
driven back by the flames that envel-
opel the building. 1t was impossible
for the spectators, who quickly gather
ed, to save the inmates. They were
compelled to stand by and hear their
ag0nizing cries.
In the course of three hours a search
ing party went over the ruins and dis
covered charred remains of eleven bod
les, distinguishable only by the size of
the bones. They were gathered in q
sleigh-box and deposited in the public
hall. The victims were:
Theodore Gross, aged 81; his wife,
aged Al; Catherine, John, TOney, Mary,
Lizzie, Joseph, Michael, Lenie, all
children of Mr.. and Mrs. Gross, and
Lena Erbst of Lake Linden, guest.
The ages Of the young people range
from 2 to % years. There is no reliable
information as to how the fire started.
Theodore Gross, Jr., says that 1t might
have originated from the lamp that he
supposed he extinguished before he
went to bed. There are rumors that the
dreadful calamity occurred through the
carelessness of the parents, who are al
legged to have returned homeintoxicated
from the dance.

Among the passengers on a western
train recenaly was q woman very much
overdressed, accompanied by bright
looking nurse girl and selfwilled, ty-
rannical boy of about years. e,f
The boy aroused the indignation Of
the passengers by his continual shrieks
and kicks and screams and his vicious
ness toward his patient nurse. He tore
her bonnet, scratched her hands, and
finally spat in her face, without word
of remonstrance from the mother.
Whenever the nurse manifested any
firmness the mother chided her sharp
ly. Finally the mother composed her
self for a nap and about the time the
boy had slapped the nurse for the fifth
time wasp came sailing in and flew
on the window of the nurses seat.
The boy at once tried to catch 1t.
The nurse caught his hand and said
eoaxingly: Rud j sue q ..ss

Harry screamed savagely, and began
to kick and pound the nurse.

It may not be generally known that,
when exposed to severe cold feeling
of warmth is readily created by repeat
edly filling the lungs to utmost extent.
Throw your shoulder back and hold
head we'll up; then initiate the lungs
slowly, the air entering through the
nose; and while the lungs are filled,
hold the breath for about ten, seconds
and then let the air out through the
mouth. To a chilly person this will
make warmth be felt over the entire
body. It should be practicad several
times a day, especially in the open air,
and is good habit to fall into for gen.
eral benefit for weak lungs. When
