A FEARFUL SIGHT.
Accident to Street Car Results
in an Awful Death.

CHICAGO, July ga peculiar acct
dent, which resulted in the death of one
woman and serious injury to three 9TH
erS. occurred at the east end of the Har-
risOn street bridge this afternoon. An
open car approached the bridge at a
good rate of speed. As the car struck
the east end of the bridge the latter
shook and swayed up and down
for a moment. rhe heavy, pointed
hardwood tightening lever at the east
end of the bridge fell from its fasten-
ings and swung around directly against
the right side of the car. Miss Nellie
RiOrdan, of Il Selden street. sat near
the right hand outer edge of a seat near
the middle of the car, and the pointed
end of the lever struck her in the groin,
passed through her body and made
a hole in the back of the seat in which
she was sitting. The lever eXten led
twenty inches through the body of the
woman, piniOning her to the fragment
or seat left unOrOken by the fearful
crash. The driver had by this time OBJ
tanned control of his horses and
brought the car to stop. Witnesses
OF the accident ran up and were
Mortified by the fearful sight
presented by the impaled woman. Blood
was pouring from the wound in her side
and flowing on the floor of the car. A
physician who was summoned said the
woman would bleed to death if the lever
was Withdrawn from her body.
A saw was procured and the lever
was sawed off about two feet from Miss
Riordan'S body. The woman, with a
portion of the lever still protruding
from her body, was carried to the coun-
ty hospital, where a physician SAID she
would probably bleed to death as soon
as the lever was removed. A priest
and her friends were sent for, and
restOratives were applied. Miss Riordan
regained CONSEQUENCES, and was told
that she would probably soon die. She
took farewell of her friends after the
priest had given her absolution, The
hospital surgeons then removed the
piece of the lever from her body, after
which she sank rapidly, and in a few
minutes died from loss OF blood.
The flying splinterS made by the
bridge lever as it crashed through the
seats of the car endangered many lives.
A large, sharp splinter struck Miss
Maggie Casey, Miss Annie Dexter and
Mrs. Maggie Ashcroft, who were Sc
rIOusly injured but will probably re
cover.

BRITAIN'S BOAST.
England Gets Ahead of France in
the Diplomatic Deal.

PARIS, July 90. - The semi-official
statement was given to the press this
evening:
THE Siamese government, having
reconsldered its aformer attitude, now
accepts all conditions of Frances ulti-
matum without reserve. The acceptance
gives complete satisf action to France
and all who were not DESTROYS of making
the Siamese difficulty the occasion of
fresh colonial enterprise"
After referring to the cabinet meeting
today and the meeting called for to-
morrow, the statement closes with the
words: THE French government. de-
string to give proofs of its good Will to
Siam, probably will not raise further
objections to the affair"
Another semi-off1cial statement denies
the truth OF the rumor that NJ. Develle
and NJ Delasse, under secretary of
state for the colonies, have resigned.
The public will find proof in the event
OF the SiameSe affair, says the state
ment. that Great Britain has not inter-
Yened, and does not intend to.
The Jour accepts this last statement
only with grain of salt. 1t SAYS that
something has been done behind the
! scenes and the French are likely to
awake SoCn to the fact that Great Brit
ain, after all, has got the better of them
IN the diplomatic negotiations. The
Jour ascribeS the sudden SOftening of
the tone of the British press to pri vate

He said that this nation can never have

standard is at parity with itself. To
have too much money is as undesirable

Immediate antecedents his father was
named Anthony and his father Chris
topher. All were ship builders. The
/ line is supposed to have come down
after this manner:
Christopher Columbus had a son.
Diego, who had two sons, Luis and
Christoval. The latter was the ancestor
of the Duke of Veragua. The former,
who was the perfect picture of the dis
tIngulshed navigator, was the ancestor
OF the present Ale Xis Columbus. AL
most all the Immediate ancestors and
descendants are vessel builders and
navigatorS. The striking resemblance
between this family and that of the dis
coverer bears strongly in favor of those
claims of relationship.
Strangely enough the old gentleman's
halr and eyes are not only white now
but, according to family tradition, they
we're so long before age had left It's
marks upon him. These, it will be re-
membered, were peculiarities of the
great Columbus. Though uncertainty
surrounds the portraits of the great
explorer as to their authenticity, yet
there is close resemblance between
those generally accepted and the feat
ures of this Columbus.
1t is worthy of note that this second
branch of the eXplOrer-as distinguished
from the one of which Veragua is the
living representative - has been buff
feted by fortunes waves from country
TO country, Just as was the great Chris
topher. Himself an Italian, he forsook
Italy and cast his lot in Spain. So one
of his grandsonS left Spain for France.
and later the family drifted to Canada,
and thence to the United States.

CURE BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Experts Claim That This Treat
ment Is More Rapid in Action
Than Drugs,

1
| st. Louis Globe Democrat.
! Now the electricians have advanced
| the proposition that electric light has
curative properties. The new apparatus
/ is arranged to throw rays of electric
| light upon the whole or any part of the
body. The doctors all know that ozone
is a powerful disinfectant. DR.. Obi
mueller, the Berlin expert. has killed
the typhus bacillus in two minutes with
ozone, and the cholera bacillus in five
minutes. 1t Is also known that the
transmission of the electric current
through atmosphere converts the oXy-
gen into ozone. A thunder storm clear
the air. On such established facts as
these the electricians base their clai ms
that the electric light has a curative
property.
When the rays are directed from this
apparatus to any part of the body the
effect is to increase the circulation and
to bring on copiOus preparation where
the light strikes. Ii it is desired to
treat some particular part of the body,
the screens and refectors are adjusted
so that the electric light is thrown to
that place alone. If general treatment.
as we'll as local application, is wanted
the patient sits with his back to the ap-
paratus. The specific rays are thrown
upon the diseased spot and the general
electric light is thrown upon the whole
body. Different color lights are en-
plOyed for different diseases. For some
eases the electric light is thrown
through blue glass. For special effect
on the blood red electric light is used,
and for results on the nervous system
the color is yellow.
Sun baths are as Old as the hills.
Electric light baths are something
entirely new. The doctors examined
the contrivdnces with good deal of
interest. The astonishing claim is
made by the electricians that this treat
ment is more rapid i'll its action than
drugs. They tell great things of what
1t has done for grlp-stricken patients.
There is almost nothing to which the
electric light treatment is not applied.

The New superintendent.

Word was received IN this city yester-
day that verified the prediction OF the
GLOBE to the effect that Robert Il.
Barclay would succeed Norman Perkins
as superintendent of the railway mail
service for the Tenth district. The
appointment came upon the recon-
incubation of Hon. Michael DOran. 1t
Is regarded as an eminentIy fit one, and
calculated to give general satisfaction
to the people IN the service. There was
considerable rivalry among the candi-
dates, the most conspicuous among the
competitors being Thomas j. McDer-
mott, of ST. Paul.
Mr.. Barclay is at present stationed at
Helena as chief clerk IN the railway
mail service. He went there from St.
Paul a few years ago by direction of the
department to unravel a smart in the
Office, and has been kept there until the
present time. Mr.. Barclay is typical
Minnesota boy, and was raised in the
Twin Cities. He was born near Free
hold, \. j., and is thirty-five or thirty
six years ola. He came to Minnesota
when a mere child, and after being
educated in the schools here went to
Bremen, Germany, and took a course OF
study. He entered the railway mail
service in 1856 as a postal clerk under
the recommendation of Hon. P. II,
Kelly, and worked his way upward
until he was in line for the office to
which he has been appointed. Whilst
there are others in the line of promotion
to the pOsitiOn.yet there is no Democrat
that stood in the line ahead of Mr.. Bar
clay. He has served under Mr.. Perkins,
and has proven himself a capable and
efficient servant of the government;
moreover, he is popular with the men i'll
the service. He is a cousin of Alex
ander Barclay, of this city. He was
married two years ago, but has no
children.
