Louis, No, is plaintiff, and John T.. Davis,
2 San Luis Ob.spO County Tancher, is de-
PENDANT, has brought TO sat most c0mp.I-
Gated state Of affairs.
The papers on file and other records and
documents, which Will be produced In proof,
aueEs that Mrs. Davis, the wife f a

He was large man, evidently just in the
prime Of life. His shoulders were broad
and massive, his face was flushed with that
ruddy glow that betokens health, so the fact
that he held his seat in the crowded North
Clark street-caT while frail women were
compelled to stand, holding YEARLY to the
uncomfortable straps, caused many uncOm-
plimentaTy remarks to be passed upon him.
The ladies are all seated, see, sueer-
ingly remarked az athletic-appearing young
man, as he brushed past the stranger.

to ride with decent people, was the audible
remark of an OveT-dresSed elderly woman.

arms were OveTburdeued with bundles, "and

These and many like remarks did not
phase the large gentleman. He retained
his seat, seeming to be entirely ignorant
that the conversation was aimed at him.
When the car reached the corner of
Goethe and Clark streets two men who had
been on the rear platform smoking entered
the car, ana, catching hold of the harness
like arrangement fastened about the gentle
man who had so offended the ladies and lift
inE him from the seat, carried him from the
car Then it was for the first time noticed
that in spite of his robust appearance he
was minus legs.
The remainder Of the trip north was made
in utter silence Those who had been so
ready with their comments looked foolish,
and to punish themselves the ladies re-

Mysterious Death Of a Nineteen
Year Old Girl.
She Expires Suddenly on Her Return From
Short Outing Predicted Her Death.
An Autopsy Ordered.

The Coroner was notified last night Of the
death of Rose Connolly, aged 10, at the house
of Mrs Sophie Thayer, 500 Mission street.
the girl was employed by Mrs. Thyes as
housemaid, and had worked for her some
two months. At o'clock yesterday after
noon she left the house. and returned al 4.
An hour later she was found lying in con-
vulsions on the floor of her room. DR..
Calvin was called in and attended her, but
at 20 o'clock she died without recovering
consciousness.
All that Mrs Thayer knew of the girl was
that she applied for employment to her
some two months ago, and was very we'll
behaved girl. She always seemed light
hearted, and never complained OF III health.
Though she gave her name as Rose Con
nelly, the trunk she brought with her had a
label marked "Larney."
When engaged by Mrs. Thayer the girl
said she came from the Sisters School on
the corner Of Cough and Geary streets. In
qufies made at the sisters last night met
with the information that no one Of the
name of Rose Connolly or any one answer
ing the deceaSed's description had been at
the school.
DR.. Calvin is unprcpared to state what
the giIl died Of. An autopsy to determine
the cause Of death will be held to-day at the
MoTgue. where the body was removed to.
Late last night it was ascertained by the
Coroner that the right name Of the de-
ceased was Rose Larney, an orphan. Sew
eTal years ago ID. J.. Fitzgerald and his wife
adopted her from a convent and cared for
her TIL she was able to earn her own living.
Previous to her going to Mrs. Thayeps
she was employed in bakery at Ellis and

Omcers OK the MiantOnomOh Meet With
a Painful Accident.
New York sun.
During the progress Of the trial Of the ten
guns Of the new United States monitor
Mantonomoh, at Gardeners Bay, three Of
the officers Of the vessel underwent pain
ful injury by the bursting Of their ear
drums. The accident occurred after the
conclusion which followed the discharge Of
one OF the pieces.
Surgeon Kane Of the Miantonomoh, when
questioned on the subject, would say moth
ing for publication further than that the ac-
cident could have been easily ayerted had
the men stood upon the tips Of their toes
and opened their mouths. He said that the
officers were apparently we'll drilled and
should have known this. He declined TO
give their names.
This is not the first instance Of an acct
dent Of the kind to naval officers One we'll
known case occurred during the civil war
on board the Monitor. After the discharge
Of the first gun blood poured from the noses
and ears Of some OF the men. On every ship
carrying guns OF even moderately large cal
iber il is an axiom that one must stand on
his tiptoes and hold his mouth open, or
suffer painful consequences.
The officers at the Brooklyn NaYy-yard
were greatly surprised when they heard of
the matter. At the medical department ii
was SAID that such cases were OF lnfTequent
occurrence, and that naval officers had too
high a regard for their position to jeOpardize
them by failing TO take the usual precauti0n
when heavy piece was DISCHARGED. Lieu
tenant Orion said:
"Ot course, man may be taken una
wares, but this never ought to happen at a
gun trial. where there is ample opportunity
to be put on ones guard. 1 cannot under
