Mrs. Shorts Husband Buried IN a
Well.
From the Ne,o York Herald.

from the hel1 York Herald.
The sudden death of Mrs. Ellen Short OF
Jamaica, L. l., and the result of the investi.
CATION OF vision she claimed appeared tc
her, have cleared up mystery which has
puzzled the residents of that quiet town for
over a year.
Mrs. Short died last Monday at her home
on Washington street. and shortly before
her death repeated to one of her children
the story of dream she had often had. II
was that she saw the body of her husband.
who had mysteriously disappeared on july
II, 1890, lying at the bottom Of a big well
in the Long Island railroad round house. A
search party found the body.
William Snort was As years old and a car
cleaner in the employ of the Long Island
railroad. On the morning Of July IA he
was left alone in the engine house and was
never seen alive again. Mrs. Short was
left to provide for family of seven chill
dren. the eldest one but IA years old.
CAME TO HER IN a DREAM.
It was believed at first that Short had
abandoned his family. Mrs. Short did not
believe it, and soon afterward vision an
peared to her while she slept which con-
firmed her disbelief. One night, she said
she was awakened from sound sleep and
saw plainly in the dim light OF the room her
husband, who told her to have some one
look i'll the we'll, into which he had fallen
Mrs. Short repeated this story to some of
her neighbors, bur they were incredulous.
The railroad officials were told about it.
They refused to investigate.
The Oldest boy of the family had for some
time held a position in the telegraph office
of the railroad. He was discharged soon
after his fathers disappearance and the loss
of his income was serious one to his
mother. She tried every kind of work to
provide food for her children, even working
for farmers in their fields. Every day the
struggle for existence became more severe
It was no unusual thing for her to spend an
entire day seeking work, and then have to
send the children to bed without bit to eat
On Monday after such an unsuccessful day.
she came home utterly worn out and
dropped into chair hardly able to speak.
DEATH RELIEVED HER.
She sent one Of her daughters out to get
some water, kissed another Of her children
who climbed into her lap and then leaned
back in her chair. The children played
around softly so as not TO awaken
her. Finally. when she did not
get up to prepare their supper,
one of the youngest pulled her by the
dress. There came no answer from the
white lips, and when the daughter returned
with the water she saw her mother was
dead.
Kind hearted neighbors found the chill
drsn crying and hungry. The Sisters OF
st. Dominick took charge of them.
Coroner McEveritt of Jamaica held an
inquest on Mrs. Shorts body on Thursday
night. One of the boys told the coroner
that the day before bis mother died she had
another sight Of her husbands ghost.

A JUDGE FINED HIMSELF.
His Own Cow Ruined Ills Garden and

His Own Cow Ruined His Garden and
he Paid the Damages.
From the LetotSton Journal.
Perhaps the most disguised man in Somer-
set county is justice of the peace who is
the owner of a fine garden, the pride of his
heart. The other day he was informed that
an unruly COW had wrought desolat1on in
his Eden and at once ordered the animal
sent to the pound. Then he went UP to
view the wreck, and after noting the vacant
places where the beets and corn had been,
the trampled down squashes and cabbages
and the demoralized pea vines and sunfow-
ers. and ascertaining, as he supposed, the
owner of the cow. he made out a writ
against that individual, containing so the
Fairfield Journal is informed, fourteen diff
ferent and distinct counts. including tres
pass, forcibie entry, malicious mischief,
nuisance, riotous and disorderly conduct,
and assault and battery with intent to kill.
Il was then that he learned that the tres
passer was his own COW, and his ire cooled
as ne meekly paid field driver for getting
her out of the pound.

Davies Has n Few Words to Say About
jackson and Slavin.
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.-Parson Davies, Peter
Jackson's hacker, arrived home last night.
In regard to the Jackson-Slavin match he
said:-"The National Club, of London, has
offered $4,000 and the men will probably
fight there in June jackson, whom saw
in San Francisco a short time ago, is in
fairly good shape and is living well and
having good time. 1 want him to spend
about two months in hunting and fishing
and then will have him put in SIX weeks
of training. The men will probably fight
with four ounce gloves. which will suit
jackson all right
81 will doubtless go over with jackson
about March, and 1 think it probable Lord
Lonsdale, who thinks good deal of Peter,
will allow him to spend time on his estate,
where Jackson will train. The change will
do him good, and I don't doubt that he will
be in fine condition to fight when the time
comes. 1 don't believe in taking a man
direct from an easy life and putting him
into hard training. He should have some
little time in which to build himself up.
jackson is confident about the result, but
never boasts about anything. He will do
his best with Slavin and is not afraid of the
latter at all. He can easily get into good
trim, and want him to be in the very best
condition"

ED BRAINERD and number of local ath-

WESLEYAN has had heaps of hard luclS this

TIE Lafayette team are nearly as unluclty
as WESLEYAN in having their best players in

"There has been large amount of talk in
all the papers since last Saturdays game
with Princeton about our heavy teams and
it has been stated that our team WAS much
heavier than Princeton's. In another col

average of which is 1928 pounds. The aver
age weight of the Princeton team is III
pounds Cornells 'cowlike' ruShline aver
ages l6714, while Princeton's dainty line
averages over l75. These figures ought to
demonstrate to certain New York newspa-
pers the fact that it was something besides
'cowlike clumsineSs' that kept Princeton
down to six points We call attention to
little matters like this. in order that Cornell
shall not be too greatly misrepreSented by
partisan correspondents of papers, who ap-
parently know as much about football as
they do about the average weight of cow
