Miss Bertha Fahnley the Victim of an
Unfortunate Accident.

Miss Bertha Fahnley, the eighteen-year-
old daughter of Frederick Fahnley, the
wholesale milliner, met with a distressing
accident, last night, at her nome, No. 200
North Meridian street. About $50 o'clock.
with the assistance of her maid, Miss
Fahnley was experimenting with gasoline,
and was trying the virtues of the fluid in
an effort to clean a glove. While the arti-
Gle was yet saturated with the explosive

and in an instant the glove was ablaze
Before she could drop the glove the flames
communicated to her gown, and quickly
her clothing was ablaze.
Her screams alarmed her mother, who
ran into the room, caught up heavy
cloth and wound it around her. This
prompt act probably averted terrible ac-
cident and smothered the flames. However,
Miss Fahnley did not entirely escape, and
will be confined to the house for some
time with a badly scorched arm and hand
She suffered intensely from the burns
until DR.. Hodges was summoned and sue
ceeded in allaying the pain.

Good Idioms to De Preserved, Even IN

Passing from the use of words to the use
of phrases, one finds that certain ungainly
purisnls In phraseology have crept into
0 s our fbe no 10 the too
Ito be let instead of the time-honored
and thoroughly English Ito let" 1t may
be objected that the sentence This house
tence is automatically English for all that,
and one of the commonest features OF an
idiom is that it will not parse exactly: One
OF the definitions OF an idiom is that IL is a
turn Of phrase which contrayenes the rules
Of universal grammar and Is to be ex-
ticular language TO which IL belongs. The
German "DaS habe ich mir Sagen lassen'
Il have told you sol will not parse accord
ing to the rules of universal grammar;
to agree with these rules, IL would have TO
be, "Das habe mir sagen gelassen, which
may be excellent universal grammar, but
Is certainly not German at all. Just SO our
English Ito let;'' il is good English. Ito
be LETT may parse better, but 1t is lumber
ing In comparison and has the still worse
vice of striving TO overthrow an idlom.
And the idiomatic expressions in a lam
guage are what. most give it its charac-
teristic color and pithiness; they are what
is best worth preserving intact
Idioms are quite much in danger OF be-
ing lost or perverted through carelessness

whereas its true English meaning is Ito be

Ito differ with and Ito differ from is old
and we'll established; il is part and parcel
of English idiom, and is too valuable to be
lost. ITO differ with is just as indefeas-

Grammatical analysis fails here and has
not word to say.
Some persons OBJECT to 81 had rather

the least. The argument that the phrase
originated in a careless return by the
wrong road from the abbreviated I'D

originally for would" but was mistaken
for had, docs not hold water. Very like
ly the phrase I'D rather came at first
from II would rather" but 81 had rather
came into use SO long ago, and has become
SO ingrained In the language, that IL is not
to be ousted now. 81 had rather" Is En-
glish, and all the better for being idiomat-
ically English AS has been said already,
you cannot measure the correctness OF
an idiom by the foot rule q universal gram

Worlzmen engaged in the excavations for

the street-car stables, dug out a human
skeleton yesterday evening. The spot
where the bones were found is underneath

years ago, there stood building which was
utilized as disreputable resort. The skel-
who was notified of the find, conjectured
that il had been that of woman. The
bones were small and the teeth were yet
solid and firm. Inquiry about the neigh

that would recall an old crime, and the
coroner ordered the gruesome object in

Somebody Had n Tip.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
KANSAS CITY, Oct. 13.-Somebody here
had tip that the Union Pacific was to
go into receivers hands. There was great
deal OF quiet selling yesterday, but to-day
1t grew in volume tremendously. Inquiries
as to the cause burdened the wires be-
tween New York, Omaha and Chicago. but
nobody explained. The liquidation was
enormous and at last values gave way
with the trading which was the largest
ever known on the local board. AT 1880,
when the receivership was announced, the
point had been so thoroughly discounted
that Union Pacific was affected only one
fourth of l per cent.
