A Aa0 kndlDH,

FALL RIVER, Mass, May 25.-At Wa
tuppa lake to-day party of thirteen
persons hired boat and went rowing.
There was strong wind blowing. The
boat into which the party embarked was
too small to accommodate so many peo-
pie. When about 20 feet off the shore
child rocked the boat. Some men
standing on the bank cautioned the
child to remain quiet, but the child was
unmindful of this advice. Sud
denly, withouta a moments warning, the
boat capsized. Heart-rending cries rent
the air, and the women were struggling
in the water. Seueral parties on shore
cried to them to cling to the boat, but
their failing strength was unequal to
the task, and women and children sank
out of sight Five of the party struck
out for shore on their own hook and
succeeded in reaching it in an exhaust
ed condition. The following were
drowned: Samuel Whites, aged fifty;
Mrs. Whites, aged forty-five; Henry
Whites, aged ten; Samuel Whites, Jr.,
aged twelve; Levina Buckley, aged
thirty-five; Fred Buckley, aged three;
Willie Buckley, aged eight; Willie
Turner, aged nine.

LAURA BRIDGMAN's BRAIN.
1t Differs But Little from tho brains Of
Ordinary Women.


Ordinary Women.
For months past DR.. Donaldson, of
Clark University, Worcester. has been
engaged in studying the brain of the
late Laura Gridgman, the deaf, dumb
and blind pupil OF DR.. Howe, who
learned to read and write and con-
verse intelligently, in spite of her nat
ural defects.
DR.. Donaldson is now preparing an
exhaustive report upon the results of
his investigations, which he will read
before several learned societies, and
later on publish in the scientific jour-
nails. The examination has been
the most thorough ever under
taken by any medical expert,
and though the results obtained
have not been conclusive, they will
60 far toward substantiating several
theories which medical experts have
advanced about the functions of the
brain as an organ OF thought, as we'll as
placing several new nd startling theo-
ries before the world.
Though the facts are not ready to be
made public, yet it is said that the brain
of Miss Bridgman shows that it is an
infallible index of the sensations con-
veyed to it through all the senses; in
short, the brain is nothing but an intri-
cate phonograph and photograph COM
bined, which registers all that the sight,
hearing, taste, smell and feeling bring
to it.
OF course the report when made will
be conched in many scientific terms, but
when divested of these meshes it will
hold much that must be of lasting in
terest to every person who thinks or has
brain capable of thopght.-Boston
