PITTsBURG, Oct. PA special to The
Times from Erie, Pa. says: Two weeks

days later from St. Johns Lutheran
church. of this city, being temporarily in

family.
Made q Dreadful Discovery.
The transfer was made yesterday, and
v hen she remains were exhumed, the cas-
ket was opened at the request of his
fs mily, and horrifying spectacle was
presented. The body had turned around,
lying on its face, and it and the interior OF
the casket bore traces OF a terrible struggle
with death in its most awful shape. The
distorted and blood-covered features bore
evidence of the horrible agony endured.
The Awful Despair of the Victim.
The clothing about the head and neck
had been torn into shreds. as was likewise
the lining of the coffin. Bloody marks Of
finger nails on the face, throat, and neck
told of the awful despair of the doomed
man, who tore his own flesh in his terri
BILE anguish. Several fingers had been
entirely bitten off, and the hands torn
with the teeth until they scarcely resem-
bled those of a human being.

The Captain Was q Hero.

The Charlwood was almost cut in two;
nevertheless Captain Hiscocks, of the i'll
fated vessel, stood on the poop. and as
coolly as if on summer sea gave orders
for the lowering Of the life boat. The
boat was lowered, the seamen obeying as
bravely as their captain or6ered. The
women and apprentice boys entered the
boat, which was about to put off. when
the bark gave a sudden lurch and foun-
dered. The davits struck the life boat
and made it capsize, and The women and
boys were thrown into the angry sea.
Their shrieks were heard for several mo-
ments, until most of them were wept out
of sight under the waves. A seaman
named Jones seized the daughter of the
captain, aged Is years. She was the dar-
ling of the crew. Jones held her across a
plank until the boats. which had instant
ly put off from the Boston, came to the
rescue. There were sixteen drowned

Ben Wades, Chases, Morrisses, Cor

were natural Yankee sensational

none of of the love of noteriety
inherited.
For half century the common
election day wasn't satisfactory for
them, but they must vote in Octo-
Der so as to have the balance of the
union know that Ohio was to be
heard from. Nor was presiden-
tial year good enough for an Ohio
campaign. Her statesmen must
have their officers elected the year
preceding the presidential cam
paign so as to give them still more
notoriety. Hence Ohio, here in
September, is in the throes of an
other political disturbance.

work such revolutions in Kansas
and Iowa and Nebraska and I'LL
nois within a year what is to pre-
vent them from doing the sam,
thing in Ohio? And it should no
be forgotten that the Ohio man il
largely represented in the western
states and is in close correspon
dence with his home friends anc
relatives.
So the uncertain nature of this
campaign here.
John Seltz of Senaca county, the
nominee of the peoples party fol
governor, is a practical man, an
editor of ability, an honest citizen
and has surrounded himself with
many of the ablest old-time Ben
Wade abolitionists and Tom Cor
win wings known in the state. He
is mixing his campaign with the
aid of the best platform speakers
Of the country-A. J. Streeter and
Jesse Harper of Illinois, Helen NJ.
Cougar of Indiana and host of
Kansas and Nebraska agitators.
When asked yesterday what
would be the peoples party shib-
boleth he replied: Opposition to
the national banks; opposition to
the republican party which Gre
ated the national banks" And
then he said: ''This is our text:
Can an honest, progressive farmer
with a farm worth $4,000, we'll
stocked and himself clear Of debt,
borrow any money from the federal
treasury? Not cent. But a
banker worth 100000 can borrow
100000 from the government and
it will pay him per cent for bor-
rowing it"
This may be demagogy, it may
be special pleading, but such
'ounded phrases and sonorous
sounds catch the ear and attention
# the groundlings.
IN ARMS AGAINST MCKINLEY1sM.
The peoples party platform
trongly antagonizes the Mckinley
ill and substantially agrees with
he democratic party on the silver
question. Its object is to elect a
valance of power in the general
ssembly, to defeat John Sherman,
nd, as in Illinois, coalesced with
he democrats for a United States
enator.

arty had money to campaign

7 All Ego tistic Are This.

We live in an age of self importance,
sustained and promoted by methods nm
known to the simple minds of our an
cestors. The interviewer and the re-
corder Of social gossip have artfully
created daily want which they them
selves supply. If A., the millionaire,
adds an acre to his estate we ascertain
the price paid for it almost as soon as he
does. We could pass creditable exami-
nation upon the habits Of r., the essay
ist, during working hours; we are thrice
familiar with the arrangement of his
furniture, and have even learned what
pens he uses.
The harm in dwelling upon these
things is not at first apparent, since we
burn to know them. This weakness of
mind induces the belief that our friends
are eager for similar details about our
selves, and as q natural consequence
when it is our cue to talk the personal
nominative does not lack advancement.

Toms Vacation, musical comedy
written by members OF the company.
Ray L. Royce in his impersonations and
lightning changes is clever, and Billy
Barbour as the rural landlord is a really
tunny carlcature on the subject. The
house was rather small. The play will
be repeated tonight, and that ends the
season.
Friday night Gorton's minstrels open
at this house. The company has been
organized twenty-four years. They do
not make any great promises, but they
aim to give the public fully as much II
not more than is promised. Among the
features Of the show will be some con-
cert selections, rendered by Gorton's
gold band, which is conceded by
musicians and the show profession at
large, to be the most effective band for
the number of men that can be found
anywhere. The music that will be pro-
duced is composed and arranged by Mr..
Joe Gorton.
There is contortionist at the Musee,
Panther, who is styled the human SER
pent, which name seems highly appro-
pirate, for such back-bending, body con-
torting and twisting would seem beyond
the capacity of the human vertibrae.

Patti Rosa enjoys large share OF per-

south she is feted and entertained as is

She is an honorary member of nearly

badly punished. He had a swollen face
cut lips and nose, and had marks all
over his body. Fitzsimmons was not
scratched. He won in walk.
Jake Kilrain, William Muldoon, Billy
Meyer and other fighting enthusias ts
were unanimous in pronouncing Fitz-
simmons marvellous middleweight.
All of them were amazed at his hitting
powers, reach and generalship. All
said Dempsy was out-classed. Phil
Lynch said Fitzsimmons can whip a
dozen heavy weights he knows. Demp-
sey is as good in his class as ever. and
Lynch is willing to bet $4,000 tomorrow
on him against La Blanche.
Major Mclaughlin, president of the
California athletic club said: "Ever
sinceI saw Fitzsimmons fight Nc Carthy
have been certain he could lick Demp-
sey. My only surprise is that he did
not do it in fewer rounds
The fight. t.lasted forty-nine minutes.
Dempsey was really never in the fight.
Fitzsimmons punished him from start
to finish, and in the fourth round Demp-
sey began to be groggy. He was plainly
out-classed from the start, but did his
best to win. There was never pluckier
contest in the ring.
In the sixth round Dempsey's friends
realized that the Nonpareil had lost, and
when Dempsey went to bis corner his
faithful seconds were also cognizant of
this. A well-known Boston sporting
man, who had wagered big money on
Jack, at this moment threw up his
hands and begged the seconds to stop
the fight; but whatever may be said,
Dempsey was plucky throughout. In
the tenth round Fitzsimmons picked
him up after having knocked him down,
and said: "Jack, you are whipped; 1
can't hit you."
Dempsey would not be downed and in
sisted upon fighting. Fitzsimmons after
that did not want to hit Dempsey, but
the latter insisted, and he was finally
out on the floor.
A prominent New Orleans politician
won $4,000 on the fight.

great success.
The managers of the kindergarten So
ciety wish to express their hearty ap-
probation OF the great kindness shown
by the various parties cooperating to
advance the success of this performance,
and that OF Tuesday evening. They
were very sorry that the Irish and negro
scenes, so we'll received on Tuesday, had
to be omitted Oh Wednesday, on ac-
count OF the indisposition OF some of the
principal actors. They also regret that,
owing to misunderstanding, the prof
fered services of the Mandolin and
Guitar club could not be made avail
able.
A.cal!ed meeting Of the Kindergarten
society will be held at the Church Of the
Unity, on Friday afternoon, at 8 O'Clock,
precisely.
All ladies who have had tickets to sell
will please report to the society at that
time.
