TURNED BOTTOM UPWARDS.
Terrible Experience OF SchOoner's
Crew at sea.

The steamer Mirandi which arrived
at Halifax, n. s., from st. Johns, n. F.,
on the 18th inst, brought Capt. Grit
fin and fifteen men belonging to Glou-
cester schooner Lizzie Griffin, which
was lost on the Grand BANKS. Capt.
Griffin tells the following story of the
loss of his vessel ard the miraculous
escape from death. I'VE had only
been on the banks few days and had
hardly commenced fishing when, on
Aug. 81 it commenced to blow mod
crate gale from the southwest, which
increased to a hurricane, with heavy
sea. Early on the morning OF Sept. /,
while all hands, excepting the watch,
were below asleep n tremendous sea
struck the vessel, turning her
bottom-up. Those below were sud
denly awakened to find themselves
clinging to what had been the floor Of
the cabin and the water pouring in
upon them. After remaining down
for about two minutes, the vessel
gradually righted until she WAS on her
beam ends. When the vessel righted
both masts broke off. She was found
to be leaking fast, the hull having
been strained and damaged consider
ably. The pumps We're manned and
had to be worked dcontinuosly to keep
her atioat. In the hope o. attracting
the attention of some passing vessel
the ensign was placed upside down on
a staff made of two dory masts dashed
together, and at about 4 o'clock in
the afternoon it was observed by the
schooner Sigfried, of Gloucester, which
Immediately came to her assistance,
and, after two hours hard work, we
we're all taken on board OF her safely,
the Griffin disappearing beneath the
waves shortly afterwards" ="

Nearly Asphyxiated.

An Oneida special says about lib
Sunday afternoon the 14th inst. Geo.
Sheigel and Will Holland, while at
their boarding place at f. ]. Randall's'
noticed strong smell OF gas. The
family were all away, as they sup
posed, at Oneida lake. They opened
several doors till they came to a room
occupied by Miss Nellie Lilies, young
and pretty girl who assisted Mrs.
Randall in the housekeeping. This
door was locked, but they were able
to force it open about an inch or
more, when the smell OF gas almost
overcame them. The door seemed TO
resist all attemps, as ifheavily blocked
on the inside. 1t was, however, open
ed a little further, when the young
men were startled by groan from
the interior of the room. Sheigel tried
to reach through to remove the
obstruction, but was unable
to do so. They then went
to the neighbors and Frank
Vane and his daughter returned with
him, he carrying stepladder, by which
access was gained to the window. de
broke in several panes OF glass to let
out the gas in the room and as he
looked in was Mortified to see the body
of thegirI on the floor, wedged in against
the door. He loosened the window,
and entering, found that it was Miss
Lilies. She was unconscious, her faco
showing agony, her body, partly cloth
ed, extended ON the floor behind q
heavy trunk, which pressed it against
the chamber door. The head was un-
der the bedstead. The gas burner was
turned on full force. This was at once
shut off and the girl placed on the bed,
| while every means was taken to re-
store consciousness. Physicians were
sent for and Drs. Perry and Caya-
naugh responded. They found many
bruises on the girls body, hips
| and head, and the girls legs and
ankles also looked as II they had been
beaten. Miss Lilies was about ~
years old, well developed and OF med
| ium height, and the bruises could not
apparently have come from q fall.
| She has been with Mrs. Randall since
March and bore an excellent charac-
| ter.
In spite of all the physicians could
do the girl did not regain concious-
ness up to this writing, and remained
in the lifeless condition. The ply.
slcians had hopes they could re,
store sensibility, and anxious TO know
what story she will tell OF the strange
affair. There is q rumor current that
the girl may have been attacked, beat.

left in this way, the gas being turned
on to give appearance Of suicide. The
other theory is that the girl actually
attempted suicide, though this does
not explain the bruises, the position

On the 10th inst, a german work
ing woman, patient in the South
ern Illinois hospital for the insane,
attacked Miss Walker, one OF the at
tendants, with a case knife, cutting
her face open from the forehead to the
mouth. Then she attacked Miss De-
vine, the oldest employe OF the hospi-
tai, and with one slash severed the
muscle of the right arm, near the
shoulder. Miss Dora Steers, another
attendant, was the next victim. The
knife was plunged into her neck in
dangerous proximity to the jugnlar
vein, which, however, was not cut
BY this time the physicians in chargs

man has been a patient for years, and
was never considered violent. The
knife was fastened to her arm by q
shoe string, and had been secreted in
her sleeve. IL is not known how she
secured it.

SUGAR FROM BETS.
Report OF the. Results OF Experiments
In South Dakota.

The report just issued by the secre-
tary of agriculture on the sugar beet
industry devotes considerable space
to experiments made in South Dakota
by Prof. Luther Foster and James ii.
Sheppard, of the agricultural station.
This was the second seasons test OF
the sugar beet in that state, and the
result gives better evidence ofthe crop
of South Dakota, both for stock feed
ing and sugar making
The report says that while the crop
was not as great either in theper cent.
of sugar or yield of roots per acre as
may reasonably be expected in more
favorable seasons, or by following
more strictly the French and German
methods of cultivating it, it was still
sufficiently large to insure it q profit
able crop even under the opposing in
fiuences of the past season.
The methods OF raising, varieties
planted and the details of harvesting
are given at length, together with the
results of chemical analysis. These
analysis, the report says in closing,
show that some vSrieties could be
profitably raised for sugar making II
worked up in the fresh state or pre-
served in the proper kind OF silos.
