DEATH IN A DEyILED CRAB.
A Bit of Shell in Robert II. Adams
Throat Kills Him.


Throat Kills Him.
Death often knocks at deaths doors
clothed in strange garb, but seldom does
he adopt the disguise in which he visited
Robert A. Adams of 1926 Green street,
Philadelphia. In the early part Of the sum-
mer Mr.. Adams, who was a member of the
large tailoring firm of Robert III. Adams &
cafe. Among other tempting delicacies
which he selected was deviled crab.
Little did he suspect that death lurked in
the crustaceOus mOrsel. He had eaten
scarcely quarter OF it when he discovered
that small partacle of the she'll had
lodged i'll his throat All efforts TO dislOdge
it proved fruitless. Although the irritation
was uncomfortable, the pain was slight, and
at the time Mr.. Adams had no thought but
that the obstacle would soon disappear.
Days passed and the Irritation remained.
A month elapsed, and Mr.. Adams friends.
becoming alarmed at his hacking cough and
the inflamed appearance of his throat, ad-
vised him TO consult physician. Upon ex-
animation the doctor found that the piece
of shell was still firmly Embedded in the
back of the throat. Every effort made to
extract it proved unavailing.
The pain, which at first was scarcely no.
ticeable, gradually developed into the most
acute agony. At the end of the sixth week
Mr.. Adams, who had always been regarded
as a perfect specimen of physical manhood,
was reduced TO a mere shadow of his former
self. just two months from the Hateful
night he died, suffering the most intense
pain.-Philadeiphia Record.

give her name or place of residence.
The new tidal canal bridge attracted hun
dreds of persons yesterday, and they walked
across it, planks having been laid On the
floor beams. Work is now in progress on
the superstTucture, and it looks rs if the
bridge would be completed in two or three
weeks.
The failure of the City Trustees to order
a new sewer to be laid in Park street has

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Some OF the Democratic leaders in Congress
are mapping out an ambitions programme for
the approaching session, but If they heed the ad-
vice OF an old politician like Senator German
they will steer clear OF several important issues.
When asked a few days ago II he intended to
take hand in the management OF affairs Ill the
next Presidential campaign, he replied that I'M
less the next House was organized on basis OF
prudence and strong self-coDtrol, and unless it
confined itself to the appropriation bills and the
absolutely necessary routine legislation. there
ould be little use OF anybody taking hand IN
the next campaign. The Senator is undoubtedly
IN favor OF very quiet session. and deprecates
The programme laid out by Mills. Breckinridge
and the rest OF The pronounced free-traders.
Commodore Ramsay, Chief of the Bureau OF
Navigation, has announced plan 10 improve tie
enlisted force of The navy. The Commodore pro-
poses that the oldest and best men be given the
most desirable biIletS in the navy, namely those
on board the receiving ships. Consequently the
crews of these vessels are hereafter TO be made
up from men WHO have been in service twenty
years. The men thus assigned are TO be given all
the benefits of honorable discharge and continu-
Gus service certificates. IL is naturally believed
the prospects OF life position will encourage
more OF the most experienced seamen TO re-
enlist.
Another addition TO the British navy, the tor
pedo gun boat cruiser Gossamer, failed TO come
up 10 eA peclatOns on her trial trip. The torpedo
gun-boats of her class are designed 10 Indicate
$500 horsepower and to attain a speed OF
81 knots under forced draught. The Gossamer,
however, only developed 5000 horsepower, and
the average speed attained was only 1913 Knots.
As her boilers exhibited signs of distress at The
conclusion of the trip II was evident that they
had been forced TO the limits OF endurance.

At meeting of the Executive Committee
of The West Oakland Improvement Assocla-
ton the improvement OF the marsh MT the

ton on tie subject was adopted

miltee based upon options and offers now Sc
cured, that the marsh land IN West Oakland set

EXPELLED FROM THE HOUSE.
MIR. Atkinson Was Compelled to Dine His
Friends Elsewhere,

ElSeWnere.
LONDON, July 27.-During the course of
the days session in the House of Commons
Mr.. Henry John Atkinson, member of Par
lament for Boston, was expelled from the
House for week for charging the Speaker
with abuse of power in placing in the
records of the House the state
ment that he had frivolously challenged
the accuracy of divisions. AS the expul-
sion includes enforced absence from the
precincts of Parliament, Mr.. Atkinson was
obliged to submit and take eight American
gentlemen whom he had invited to dine
with him at the House of Commons to the
Union Club. .... -.
~ In the House when the prisons vote was
under discussion, Mr.. Parnell claimed that
certain convicts under life sentences, espe-
pecially John DAILY, should be granted
amnesty or else treated as political prison.
ers. Mr.. Parnell said that it was grave
blot on the nation to treat men like Egan
and DAILY as ordinary criminals, adding that
in the special case of DAILY there was every
reason to believe that he was not guilty of
the charge of being in possession of dyna-
mite with intent to cause an explosion.
Sir William Vernon Harcourt opposed
any relaxation of the sentence passed upon
John DAILY, and Mr.. John Redmond urged
that further inquiry into Daly's case
would prove that the prisoner re-
ferred to was the victim of
conspiracy upon the part of Irish
police agents. Sir Henry Matthews, the
Home Secretary, replied that the "alleged
proofs of innocence" had already been ex-
amined and they had been found to be in
ventions, and consequently the sentence
must stand,
