4 STRANGE vow.

In the village of Mottetuck, Long
Island is q woman who, in pursuance
Of a row, has spent thirty years in bed.
As q girl Of eighteen she. was pretty
and attractive, and had many beaux,
but none Of them made her an offer of
marriage. This she felt very keenly,
and several months before She was
nineteen she told her mother that if she
did not get an offer Of marriage before
her birthday she would go to bed and
never get up. She keeps her word,
and no threats or persuasions have had
power to move her. Her mother took
care of her at first, and then, at the
mothers death, sister took the task
upon herself. Now the sister is dead,
and she is left to the care of more dis
tant relatives She is very cheerful
and seemingly contented, and is al
ways glad to have some Of the neigh
bers drop in and chat with her.
She is quite talkative until the sub
jet Of herkeeping to her bed is breach
ed, and then she has nothing whatever
to Ray

Four hours later Davis entered the

STATE NEWS.
MOnstrOus Timbers.

The special train bearing ten big
logs to be utilized in the construc-
ton of the Washington state Worlds
Fair building at Chicago, arrived in
Livingston Wednesday evening.
The train was run in three sections
of fourteen fiat cars each, seven cars
being required to accommodate the
length of the logs. With the ex-
ception of the two largest logs they
were loaded two together on the cars,
but it was impossible to load the two
largest in that manner owing to
their enormous weight. The train
presented a novel appearance on ac-
count of the manner in which the
logs were loaded. The end cars of
each section supported the entire
weight of the load on raised blocks,
working upon a pivot, which raised
the load above the intervening cars.
This arrangement is necessary to
accommodate the train upon curves,
where the cars are permitted to con-
form to the logs above them On
the sharp curves the middle of the
load is entirely clear of the cars at
the center of the section, and lies
parallel to the tangent drawn at the
outer edge of the curve; when the
curve is passed the pivots again per-
NIT the logs to assume a position
parallel with all the cars. The ship
ment has been preceded by several
others, none Of which, however, con-
tanned timbers of sufficient dimen-
tions to attract much attention.-

BERGMAN SENTENCED.
The Would-Be Slayer of Frick Will
Live in a Prison.

Pittsburg, Sept. 21.-Alexander
Bergman, the anarchist who tried to
kill A. G. Frick, was placed on trial
in the criminal court this morning.
Bergman conducted his own case
and pleaded not guilty. Frick took
the stand and testified to the facts
Of the attempted assnation as already
told in these dispatches. This evil
dcnce was coroborated by Vice
Chairman Leishman, the only wit
ness of the assault, and DR.. Litch-
field described the nature of Frick's
wounds. Bergman was perfectly
cool during the progress Of the trial.
At the conclusion Of the testimony
for the state Bergman refused to be
sworn, but read a long statement in
his own defense, declaring his act
the outgrowth of oppression of labor
by capital; asserting that a struggle
between them was near with the re-
suit of the freedom of labor. His
reason for shooting Frick was to rid
the earth of an oppressor of work
men. The jury returned verdict
of guilty without leaving their seats.
When sentenced Bergman said he
did not expect justice and did not
get it. Bergman was sentenced to
p years in the penitentiary and one
wear in the workhouse.

THOUSANDS WILL MARCH,
for the Grand Parade
at Chicago Next Month.

Chicago, Sept. 21.-Those in
charge of the arrangements for the
civic parade on the occasion of the
dedication of the Worlds Fair
buildings next month, expect that it
will be the grandest display of it's
kind ever made. President Harri-
son and the members of the cabinet,
the ex-presidents, a large number of
governors of states and the diplo
matte corps at Washington will re-
view the procession from stand at
the government building as the line
passes on Adams street. At least
10000 men will be in line. Many
other societies which have already
signified their intention of joining
the procession did not report but
with the numbers of these organiza-
tlOIlS dtttteu 10 lllOSt WHO nave al
ready made reports, the parade will
be made longer by many thousand
men.
General Miles explained that all
will march company
'front.' in double ranks Of eighteen
men each, reaching the entire width
Of the street In this way the
streets will be kept clear and $4,000
men can pass in four hours. 1t is
his idea to have the lines pass as
quickly as possible and at the same
lime have number ofmen in the pro-
,ession. AS distinguished visitors
will view the procession, efforts will
