THE SIBERIAN HORROR.
The Cruelties Against Mime. Sihida Wol
 Nhov De-

xn0 VTu9Atlc1 A&Alust me- SlnlOA worse
 Than First Reported.
 Further particulars of the Siberian horror have been received, and show that the c. ueI- ties were worse than first reported. It now appears that Mime. Sihida had younger S. ter, some 16 years old, who, coming to Siberia to look after her comfort, had pleased the eye of the director of te prison, been detained by him on trumped up charge of conniving at Mime. Sihida's attempted escape, and was subjected to such atrocious treatment as to cause her death soon after. Mime. Sihida, in- dignant and terror stricken by this awful event, vehemently denounced the outrage. The monstrous revenge of the director in having her publicly flogged followed, and then the suicide. The revolt in the male prison is confirmed, and it Is now definitely known that the number killed amounted to Al. News of this affair has been circulated in Russia, and it has in- spired the Nihilists with new vigor. The Czar has surrounded himself with additional guards, and at once, upon learning the par ticulars, and reali ing the universal protest and violent feeling the case would arouse, dispatched an officer to the disturbed pro vince to replace the director, and ordered that official to report at St. Petersburg.

Mrs. PartingtOn's Idea,

They were discussing at the dinner table the phase of college athletics up- permost in the public mind at the pres- ent time-''slugging' in the game of foot ball, so vividly exemplified in the Princeton game with Harvard. One member of the family said: II believe in educating our children by giving them boxing gloves and boxing lessons, thus teaching them 'slugging' in le- gitimate way. if slugging is-now com- ing into vogue as the order of the day" Hereupon the Mrs. Burlington of the family remarked: "Go odness mel sluggards have been known ever since ! can remember!"

 Stone Wall.
 Sir Nicholas Kemeys, bart. of Cefn Mably, was accounted one of the strongest men of his day. md tradi- tion of him, corroborative of his great strength. still exists in Glamorgan- shire. The story runs that one summer evening as Sir Nicholas was walking in the deer park at Cefn Mably with some guests an athletic man leading an ass, upon which was his wallet, ap- preached. and, respectfully saluting the company, said he humbly suppos- ed that the huge gentleman he had the honor of addressing WIS the strong Sir Nicholas Kemeya The stranger, being answered in the affirmative, de- clared himself a noted Cornish wrest. Ter who had never been thrown, and tLat having heard from Welshman, whom he had met at Bristol, of the great bodily strength of Sir Nicholas, had made this journey to see his honor, adding that, if it were not ask ing too great favor, he trusted Sir Nicholas would condescend to "try falr' with him. The baronet, smiling, ASS0QUt3u, UuC duVlS0U JUG COrulSOIuau to first go to the buttery and get re- freshment.
 The Cornishmau declined with many thanks, saying he was quite fresh; SO they fell to wrestling, and in moment the Cornishman was thrown upon his back. The baronet, assisting him to rise. asked him If he was now satisfied of his strength. The reply was: "Not unless you throw me over the park wall" The tale continues to say that this request was readily compiled with. when the unsatis6ed wrestler entreated that Sir Nicholas would throw his ass after him over the wall, which was accordingly done!
 A place is still shown in the ancient park wall as the scene of the exploit A fine picture now at Cefn Mably, in the possession of Colonel Kemeys- Tynte, represents Sir Nicholas as of great stature and apparent gigantic strength. He was subsequently, killed at Chepstow Castle in defending it against the troops of Cromwell, having slain many ofthe enemy with his own hand in the sortie in which he fell.

A NEW STATE HOUSE. .
Contest Between Four Rhode Island Citiei
 for the State Capital.


 for the State Capital.
 The action of the R. I. Senate has precipi- tated the question of the erection of a. new state house, and will assuredly bring before the people the long-talked of constitutional amendment aboltshing one of the capit,ls of the state. Nothing can prevent It. Of course there will come up constitutional amend ment, abolishing one of the capitals, and at the same time there must be designated some one of the four cities as the one capital. New port has already thrown out hint thatif the State House is built there that that city will contribute $100 OO0 and throw in site. Paw tucket has heard of this, and if there Is to be anything of that Lind done Pawtucket will make as good an of.,r as Newport. The Woonsocket delegation will offer a lot of land and if necessary, will have word, to say about cash contribution to the building fund. In Providence there is more indiffer- ence than is observed elsewhere, as the city officials apparently feel that there is no da1- ger of Providence losing the State House. However, there is an assurance that, if this is to be a factor in the matter, Providence will provide one of the best sites to be found in the state, and that it will be located near the new passenger station, to be erected in 8 short time.

MAINE ICE HARVEST.
Fears that Warm Wea her will Injure tn
 Kennebee Ice. ..


 Kennebee Ice.
 The obtaining of full crop of ice on the Kennebec River is far rom certain, and the prospect is rather dubious. For several days the prevailing weather has been w; rm. The outcome is that the ice has been seriously cut down in thickness, so that it Is now only be- tween eight and twelve inches. Many of the operators have been obliged to suspend opel- ations, some of them not doing anything. Ice spectators are met with on every hand. Every available location along the river where 8 lot of ice can be piled up is in use. Lumber ie in great demand as well as sawdust, and available coal sheds and vacant buildings will be filled up if there is chance. Many New York, Providence and Boston men are look ing for an opportunity to purchase or put up ice. As high as $3 per ton is offered for futufe delivery, the price having gone up % cents on ton in day, and almost fabulous prices are talked of.
 Should there be change for the better 1,2OO ,OOO tons will be secured along the Ken nebec.

ANOTHER CASE OF SMALLPOX.
There Are Now Six Cases in All at Meriden, Conn.

t-=t Conn.
 Another case of smallpox, in addition to the five cases, making six in all, have been discovered at Meriden, Conn. The last case Is that of servant girl, who had visited her parents in the infected quarter, and people are keeping>a close watch on the going and coming of their servants in consequence. The girl is employed in the family of one of the fore men of the Holian Organ and Music Company, and there has been wholesale vac cination in the factory. The worst feature of the whole matter is that there Is 8 conflict of opinion between the town and city suthor- ities as to who shall bear the expense. The city authorities are doing everything in their power, aud had the town officers co-operated with them the general public would feel more secure. As it is, the patients are still in their homes in the Polish quarter, where it is very difficult to provide proper care, as the town authorities have neglected to put the pest house in order for reception of pa- tients. This neglect is the cause of outspoken censure of the negligent officials. One of the public schools, which Is in the infected district, is closed.

think the men were rather afraid Of her sharp tongue, and she was not on particularly good terms with any of them except Jim, and from the first day she came she seemed to take 8 fancy to him. .'''
 She was not bad-hearted woman, sad. as afterwards found out, she didn't know Jim was married man, but she seemed to have sort of fa- ciuation for him which caused me no little anxiety. Not that Jim was at all In love with her or likely to forget Kittie, but he was so very young and % sorry for. her; and it is through their sympathies that so many men get into trouble.
 There was nothing in it-only it took him longer to do errands at her desk than it did the rest of us, and sometimes he would stop and talk a few minutes to her after work was done-that was all; but it worried me.
 felt that I ought to speak to him about it, yet what could fellow de. There was really nothing to speak about So it would seem when was with him. then when had left him it would seem that I had neglected my duty. Then, again, ii would appear too trilling matter to think of. and so there was, not halt ing between two opinions, but Hopping from one opinion to another a dozen times day.
