Her BODY Found Drowned I'm the
Mill Pond Friday Morning.

Mill Pond Friday Morning.
AS the ice men and others congre-
gated on the pond Friday morning, the
body of woman was discovered foat-
ing on the surface, where Eldridge u
Briggs had cut their ice Thursday.
Justice Cobb was at once notified, the
body drawn out on the ice. and iden-
titled as Miss Emily T. Bateman,
daughter of Charles Batemau. She
had not been missed from the house,
the suppositicn being that she arose
early in the morning and partly dress
iug herself, with her night cap upon her
head, went down to the pond and into
the hole where the ice had been cut.
Her ring wasfound' tied In one corner
of her andkerchief and laid on the
ice near where she was found. Un-
dertaker A. F. Bateman has removed
the body to the residence of her fa-
ther, the family being previously no.
titled. A jury was notified to meet at
the residence of Justice Cobb in the
afternoon at Q o'clock.
A PIONEER reporter hastened to the
scene at once, to gather all details OBJ
tainable of the sad occurance.
BY an order from County Physician
DR.. J. R. G. Thompson, Justice E. M.
Apologize also repaired to the place to
hold an inquest upon the remains.
Miss Bateman was the daughter OF
Charles E. Bateman of that place, and
was between forty and fifty years old.
Justice Appelgate, armed with the
order from DR.. Thompson, placed the
venire for a Coroner's jury in the
hands of Constable Hogbin, and an in
quest was held Saturday after
noon, at . o'clock. Justice Cobb, hav-
ing proceeded In his course under a
Misrepresentation, will discontinue
further Investigations.
1t is supposed that Miss Bateman
was suffering from insanity aggra-
waited by the death OF her mother
some ten monts ago, over which she
has been very melancholy. The re-
porter gathered that she has has been
observed to manifest strange seccen'
tricities latterly, and has frequently
remarked that she thought she would
be much better off if she was with hel
mother. .s,-@,
The family has its full share of mis-
cry and misfortune, and insanity seems
Inherent In it. Two sisters are now
confined in the Insane Asylum at
Trenton.

DEATH BY HER OWN ACT.
Coroner Appelgate Makes th<
Fullest Investigation i'm the
Death OF Emily +. Bate.

1--WE the undersigned, being called
as Coroner's jury to investigate the
cause of the death of Emily Bateman,
do find that the said Emily Bateman
came to her death by being drowned
In the millpond at Cedarville, N. j.,
between the hours of 12 o'clock, mid.
night, and seven o'clock a. M, Friday,
January 29sh, 1892
"And it is further the opinion of the
jury, that the said Emily Bateman

Such was the verdict handed to JUS
tice E. M, Applegate, Saturday after.
noon, after that gentleman had made
the. fullest possible examination as
Coroner, by order of County Physi
clan Thompson. r-.-.-.s
The inquest was held in the hall liz
Bateman's block, beginning at
o'clock. A large number of interested d
persons were present, and they paid
close attention to all that was said OF
done. The above named jurymen
were called by Elmer Hogbin, con.
stable, and Justice Appelgate read
to them the impressive and far reach
ing charge laid down in the statutes.
The investigation then began, and
only ended after seventeen witnesses
had been called and fully examined.
1t may be that some may think that
such thorough examination was not
necessary, but there were many intim-
ations and actual happenings sur
rounding the death of the woman that
caused much comment, and there
would have been considerable dissatis-
faction If everything was not laid fully
bare.
1t was not a pleasant thing for JUS
tice Applegate to do either, but it be.
came necessary under all the circum.
stances Take the testimony of the

Deadly Prussic Acid.

A physician well known to the St. Louis
public contributes the following informal
ton:
Hydrocyanic acid, or, as it is most COM
monty called, prussic acid, is one Of the
most deadly poisons known to animal life.
1t is volatile principle contained In nu-
merous shrubs and trees, chiefly the wild
cherry, bitter almond, cherry laurel, ST.
Ignatius bean and the peach tree. 1t is
obtained by distillation from ferrocyanide
of potassium by the action of sulphuric
acid in the form of light, colorless gas.
The preparation kept in the drug store is
a dilute acid of strength of per cent. of
anhydrous acid in distilled water, color
less liquid, with the odor of bitter almonds.
The dose is from two to six drops. One.
half grain of the anhydrous acid Is sufti-
Gent to produce death, tits used in medi.
cine in correcting diseases of the stomach,
also wheeping cough and the last stages
Of consumption.
1t is very volatile and the fumes win de-
stroy vegetable life, causing the stems OF
plants to wither and dry up. Its effect on
the lower animals is similar to its action
on man, with the exception of the horse
and the hyena, upon whom it does not ap-
pear to produce any impression. In fatal
doses it causes death quickly by paralyz-
ing the hearts action. After death the
rigor mortiS sets in, and In q few moments
the unfortunate subject is as stiff as a
board. ST. Louis Republic.

Tho Folly Vt Drawing from Memory.
''The man who draws is much more apt
to make a laughing stock of himself than
the one who writes" said an artist, because
the errors in a picture are discernible at a
glance, while it is necessary to read an
ARTICLE carefully before its mistakes can be
picked out. The folly of drawing from
memory an object with which one is not
perfectly familiar has resulted in more
laughable pictures than have ever been
produced Intentionally by the caricaturists.
The world still laughs over the examples
of false perspective which Hogarth gave us
in a satirical moment, and not long ago
one of the comic weeklies brought a con-
temporary to task tn an illustrated skit
which showed that the offending drafts
man had put bones in the picture of a
skeleton where nature had never placed
them. All this has just been brought to
mind by an illustration on the first page of
an illustrated woman's magazine.
'"The picture represents a young man
seated on piano. Although his left arm
is extended to it's full length, his fingers
reach over only about two=thirttS of the
keyboard. Ten pctayea are plainly marked
in the drawing. and as the view Of the end
of the instrument is cut off one is left in
the dark as to how many more there might
be. If the magazine would only produce
the man who played that piano it could
make a fortune by exhibiting him. AT
any rate, it is a nice family piano at which
all the members could easily play at the
same time.'-New York Evening Sun.

Masonry Impervious to Water,

1t is found that masonry may be rem
dered impervious to water, especially in
positions exposed to direct contact with
that element, by the application Of coal
tar. The latter is employed in boiling
state, in one or more layers, or it may be
made to fame up before being used, the
first being suitable for surfaces exposed to
the air, while the second is appropriate in
the case Of parts intended to be covered
up. This method of treating foundations
is declared to be of special utility in all
public buildings, particularly those de-
signed for the preservation of works Of
art, preventing as it does exudstons of
water charged with lime Sails frc... the
mortar.-NeW York Sun.

A Gigantic Goddess of War.

In the japanese capital there is a gigan-
tic image of a woman made of wood, iron
and plaster. The time of it's erection and
the name of its designer are in dispute,
but it is known to have been dedicated to
Haohlman, the god of war, In height it
measures fifty four feet, the head alone,
which is reached by winding stairway in
the interior of the figure, being capable of
holding II company of twenty persons. The
goddess holds a sword i'll her right hand
End a huge painted wooden ball in tine
left. Internally the statue is the finest
anatomical model in existence, every bone,
joint and ligament being represented on q
gigantic scale IN proportion to the height
and general size of the huge figure itself.
The large eyes are magnifying glasses
through which fine view of the surround
ing country may be had.-St. Louis Re
