BOUGHT HER OWN GRAVE.
MISS HINkLE'S LAST GLIMPSE OF HER
HOME BEFORE SHE WAS KILLED.


Hurled Into Eternity In the Gravity Road
Disaster - She Made Her Fortune
Through secret-Arransements for
Her Funeral-A Remarkable Woman.
PHILADELPHIA, August M.-In hand
somely mounted, casket the body of Miss
Harriet Hinkle, the aged maiden lady who
lost her life in the terrible disaster on the
Mt Penn Gravity Railroad on Thurs
day, arrived in this city last even
ing and was taken to her late home, 254
North Thirteenth street, where it will
remain until the arrangements for the
funeral shall have been completed. Then
the body will be removed to a plot of
ground in Laurel Hill Cemetery, which
was purchased by Miss Hinkle about 25
years ago, and over which she has watched
with jealous care for all that time.
In many respects Miss Hinkle was a
most remarkable woman, and was de-
scended from a family of old Pennsylvania
Dutch stock that is known throughout the
State. She was over SO years old at the
time she met her death. She came to this
city shortly after the death of her parents,
more than score Of years ago, and en-
barked in the business of removing cancer
Gus and other superfuous growths from af
ficted persons. In this respect, tya secret
process, she achieved great success.
Miss Hinkle's first real estate investment
was in the form of lot in Laurel Hill
Cemetery, and in it she had the bodies of
her dead relatives interred-that is, of those
who were immediase members of the
family. She also had a grave ar
ranged for herself, and devoted as
much attention TO it as she did to
her household. It was in this connection
that her eccentricities-if such they may
be called-frst made themselves manifest.
Twice, and sometimes three times a week
she visited that grave. In summer she kept
it beautiful and green. and every single
blade of grass was not longer than the
other. At the foot of the grave there stood,
and stands now in full bloom, rose bush
which she trimmed and pruned as though
she had no other object in life.
In winter time she was no less frequent in
her visits to the spot where she intended her
remains to find a last resting place. When
the wind was bowling and sobbing through
the leafess boughs of the trees that over.
hang the vast city of the dead, and when
every other grave seemed 6reary and ior-
saken hers was always in the finest order
possible. II she visited it and found snow
on the tombstone or around the marble rail
she removed it with her own hands and
even covered the little mound with a water
proof sheet. That she anticipated her death
and made every provision for her interment
is proven by the tombstone. 1t is not very
elaborate affair, but is neat and attractive
and bears this inscription:

ment the police arrived, and both Vaughen
and Barrett were taken into custody. Bar

Cut n Prisoner.
ATLANTIC CITY, August A.-William
McMahon, a Philadelphia foundryman,
was brutally blackjacked at the Read.
ing depot this evening. A drunken friend
of his was prevented from getting on
the train by special officer Of the Reading
road. McMahon expostulated with the
officer, when the latter seized him and aided
by two other special officers dragged him
out on Atlantic avenue.
McMahon protested against such rough
treatment, but was soon rendered senseless
by the combined onslaught or six officers,
including three members of the Atlantic
City police force. They piled their clubs
and blackjacks unmercifully, cutting
several deep gashes on the un-
fortunate mans face and head.
The onlookers were much +, in
censed and disguised at the wanton savage
ness of the officers, and would undoubtedly
have attacked them but for the timely arri-
val of a patrol wagon.
County Physician Kelley dressed McMa-
hons wounds, one of them requiring as
many as six stitches.

A well authenticated report was current last
evening to the effect that the reason why W.
A. Sunday has been transferred from the
Pittsburg n. l. club is because he intends to
retire from ball playing at the end of this
season. he has been offered the Assistant
Secretaryship of the Chicago Y. N. G. A. and
has accepted the position.
1t is stated that the officials of the Philadel-
phia club did not know this when they made
the deal to exchange Burke and Day for him.
If this. Sundays retirement, is true the deal
rs not a bad one and the Philadelphia people
have gotten q little the worst of il. providing
there is not general breakup at the end of
the season. 1t has been known for some time
past that Sunday was about done with base
ball, at least his desire has been in another di-
rection for some time. At any rate his Pitts
burg friends should in some way acknowledge

KANSAS CITY. August A-The Kansas City,
Denver game had an exciting finish to-day.
The questionable decisions by Umpire Jeyne in
the ninth inning, when Kansas Citywa about

extent that they swarmed into the field hoot-
ing and leering the umpire. Two young boys
got hold of rope, and in fun proposed to lynch
him. This added to the excitement, and it
looked for time as if the umpire would be
mobbed. Jimmy Manning climbed up TO the
top of the fence and addressed the mob. He
said the umpire had decided rightly, and ad-
vised that no violence be attempted.
This quieted the mob to q degree. In the
meantime the players of both clubs formed
hollow square around the umpire. and con-
Quoted HIM to the clubhouse, whence he es-
capped to q cab and was driven way.

When he awoke again there were
a number of gentlemen around his bed,
and one was bending over him.
''Tbat must be the DOCTOR" thought
John, but as he could not speak he only
smiled bravely in the PHYSICIANS grave
face.
He felt strangely confused, and did
not rightly understand it at all, or just
where he was. The room was growing
darker, too, but 1t did not matter. Per-
haps il was time to go to sleep for the
night. Suddenly, through his stupor,
he caught few words. A young man,
with earnest blue eyes, was saying to
one of the others: Eyes, he said SO to
the nurse. He was brave, honest fellow
to have told"
Then John Andrews smiled back to
him gratefully and lifted his hand lit
tie in response. TWAS very, very quiet
around him as they waited. Presently
his Pickering breath came back to him
and he murmured: ''No one ever said
so before; it will be easier when [ get
out"
The smile still lowered about his lips
as his head fell back gently, and those
about him knew that he had gone where
he would find his chance at last, and all
would be made clear to him.
