MRS. HARRISON IS DEAD
THE FIRST LADY OF THE LAND
GOES TO A RICH REWARD.
Those who Loved Her-HistOry of
Her Life.

President Harrison mourns the
death of his dearest companion in life.
All the nation mourns with him. A
devoted, faithful wife, a loving mother
/ and n noble, womanly woman has left
this sphere of suffering, pain and sor-
row and gone 10 the reward of a glo-
rious life.
| At 40 minutes past o'clock, on the
morning of October % the last breath
was taken, the spirit fled and only the
mortal clay remained. The lady left
this life with the patience and resigna-
ton of a devout Christian and the end
was comparatively painless.
/ Mrs. Harrison's illness was the out
come of an attack of grip during the
winter of 1S90-'0l. During the sum
mer of 81 at Cape May she caught cold
which settled in cough which lasted
all summer in its severe stages but
never entirely left her. In January 1892
the cough increased caused by the at
J tendent social eXactlons of the season.
The cough increased rapidly, then
came a second attack of the grip fol-
| lowed by catarrhal pneumonia and
hemorrhage of the lungs. On July u
the patient was removed to Loon Lake,
n. Y. Here she soon began to improve,
but by the month of September she
was declining and after an examination
of the patients lungs three operations
were performed. On the 14th of that
month a consultation was held by DIR.
Gardner, of Washington, the family
physicians; DIR. Doughty, of New York
City, and Dr. Trudeau, of Saranac, n.
V, resulting in the issuance of bulletin
announcing the outcome as uncertain
September 90 Mrs. Harrison was re-
moved to Washington. At that time
her right lurg was completely con-
solidated and the left lung was
seriously affected. The decline was
steady and the end would have come
much sooner but for the remarka BILE
vitality of the patient.
DIR. Gardner was at the White House
throughout the day and from s o'clock
in the evening until the end was at the
bedside. The President was also at the
bedside constantly for nine hours watch
ing the slowly decreasing respiration,
which from nightfall TO midnight
dropped from Is to IL and the next
hour and half sunk lower and lower
until the vital spark had fled. Then
the President and the family retired to
their rooms and soon the great house
was silent as the grave.
Caroline Lavina Scott was born in
Oxford, o., Oct. /, 1882. She was the
daughter of Rev. j. ID. w. Scott, presi-
dent of the oxford female seminary.
Benjamin Harrison was a student in
the same town and fell in love with the
professors daughter. October 20, lS5;
they were married. 1t was true love
match and both have ever retained the
love of their youth. They made In
dianapolis, Ind, their home. and the
following August were blessed by the
birth of boy-now Russell Harrison
A year later their happiness was com
pleted by the advent of girl-Mary
Scott Harrison, now Mrs. Mckee. The
couple constantly grew in the estima
ton of their neighbors and the young
lawyer soon began the political career
which landed him clean and spotless IL
the presidents chair.

STRANGER THAN FICTION.
Terrible Adventures of shipwrecked Crew
-Treacherous Chilians.

Mate Sullivan of the Inflated ship
w. A. Campbell, which was lost at sea,
has arrived at San Francisco with six
others of the crew who escaped with
him. Sullivan states that the fury of
the gale was such that the crew were
powerless, and the deck was soon lit
tered with wreckage of spars and
masts. Finally it was decided to
abanGon the ship. The captain S
young wife, who bore herself bravely,
and his baby were put in the larger
boat with Capt. Havener and - sailors,
who decided to set fire to the ship for
fear that she might wreck other YES
sells, so as they showed off the torch
was applied and soon afterward she
blew up, as there were explosives
aboard.
After staying together two days"
added Sullivan, Il decided to push on,
as my boat was the swiftest. All
hands were put on short allowance
half condensed milk and water and
three biscuits day; canned meat at
morning meal and in the evening one
tin of fruit was used. On the tenth
day our water gave out and l put the
men on the same allowance of wine.
On the fourteenth signs of weakness
were noticeable in several of the men.
Twenty days out and all our liquids
were exhausted. The men behaved
well, with the exception of three
Gillian sailors. The men noticed that
the Chilians seemed to stand the short
allowance of rations better than them
.elves and it was decided to ascertain
the way they did it. Watch was set
and during the night they were dis
covering stealing from the rations OF
the sleeping sailors. 1t was all could
do TO save the lives of these Chilians,
as several of the men drew their knives
and swore to kill the thieves"
! No tidings have been received Of the
missing boat with Capt. Havener, wife
and child, Second Mate Alexander
Murray, Third Mate Percy +. TorneI
and eleven men. 1t is thought they
were picked up by a vessel going round
Cape Horn or persisted, the latter being
the more probable fate.

Eighteen Miners Seriously Injured by the

Eighteen men were bruised and man
gled in mine casualty at Ironwood.
The mine near that place is the only
one in the whole Gogebic range that
lowers its hundreds of employees to the
levels bymeans of cages. At the time
of the accident FL men crowded into
cage at No. shaft, gave signal to the
brakeman to lower the cage and a de-
scent of 600 feet began. The cafe ar
rival of men at the bottom of the shaft
depended upon one man, John Ryan,
who stood in front of big drums in the
engine house with hands on the break
wheel. lie reeled off the cable at a
lively rate, but for some reason that
cannot be explained Ryan failed to
comprehend its length was nearly run
The engineer took in the situation at
a glance and cried to Ryan TO apply the
brake Instead of doing so he threw
the break wide open and the cage shot
to the bottom of the shaft with a crash
The engineer says the cage was de-
scending rapidly and must have been
100 feet from the bottom when Ryan
cleared the brakes.
A relief party Immediately went un-
der ground by way of No. shaft and
the unfortunates were found damned
into a heap in the wrecked cage. Three
were able to walk but the other Is were
bruised and mangled, many of them
seriously. Thirteen had legs and arms
broken and five had shoulders, arms
and legs fractured. The hospital is so
overcrowded that three of the men
least hurt were taken TO their homes.

The paper Market AgItated.

According to Chicago manufac-
turer the stock of paper is running
short and prices have advanced 10 per
cent, and the end is not yet. This is
not due TO any corner" but to the
stoppage of the supply of rags from
abroad. When the rag supply was cut
off the mills were found with light
stocks on hand. The lack of rags and
the increased demand caused by the
campaign were two causes in bringing
about the present advance. Another
is found in the fact that bleaching
powders have risen greatly. These
are made in England and were dis
covered to be powerful disinfectant,
and tons have been sent to Hamburg
and the cholera infected points OF
Europe. Local dealers say the mills
are working double time and cannot
fill the present orders.
