Death From Lock Jaw.

CoLUMBIANA, O., Sept. 9.-The four
year-old daughter Of Jesse Esterly, Of
this place, died of lockjaw at an early
hour Friday morning. She recently
stepped on a rusty nail, which pene-
trated her foot to great depth. In
taking another step to free herself she
stepped on another nail, which went
through the foot. The wounds healed
too quickly and lockjaw and blood
poisoning set in. The child fingered Q
few days in terrible agony with the

Narrow Escape of Passengers on q Yer
mont Railway-Dastardly Attempt to
Wreck Train.
RUTLAND, VT, Sept. s.-The New
York express on the Bennington &
Rutland railway rushed Wednesday at
speed of forty miles an hour on
Childs bridge, over Otter creek. The
train consisted of a mail car, q day
ceach and two sleeping cars. When
the engine got fairly on the structure
it began to sink. Engineer Curtis pulled
the throttle wide open. All the cars
crossed in safety except the rear sleep.
er, which was empty. The bridge col.
lapsed just as the forward truck Of the
coach reached solid ground. The rea,
end Of the car fell into a creek fifteen
feet below. The coupling broke. A
colored porter, the only occupant OF
the car, was uninjured. Thirty-hvs
passengers were asleep in the next
coach and were in ignorance of their
narrow escape from death.
v An examination of the wreck Of the
bridge proved that there had been a
deliberate attempt to wreck the train.
All the nuts and bolts that fastened
the needle beams to the track had been
removed, leaving the bridge supported
only by the lateral rods. The high rate
of speed and the excellent condition of
the track alone delayed the BRIDGES
fall until most of the train had crossed.
Superintendent Bennett says that
robbery is the only motive he can as
sign for the crime. The police are
searching for two tramps who were
seen loafng near the bridge Tuesday.
The job could not have been done with
out heavy tools, and it must have re.
quired several hours Of hard work to
have done it. A big reward will be Of
fered by the railroad company for the
capture OF the perpetrators Of the deed

Wooster Boy.
WOOSTER, o., Sept. 9.-The amount
of money that sometimes results from
trifling investment is illustrated by the
following: About two years ago Char
ley Kinzer, son of well-known horse
man of this city, for fifteen cents pur-
chased a big mongrel dog. The boy
hitched the dog to cart, and soon had
the satisfaction of knowing that the
dog, Watch, was natural born trot-
ter. In few weeks last summer the
dog earned $1,000 giving exhibitions.
The boy purchased three other dogs,
and now has two teams of trotters and
is equipped with n pneumatic-tire skel-
eton wagon and sullly, and has made
engagements that will bring him in
several thousand dollars before snow
falls. The boy is a hustler and does
all of his own business, but is accom-
panied by his father when filling on

THIS is the time for horticulturalists to
begin preparations to prevent damsge to
the fruit buds by any late irosts which
may occur. In France and California the
practice Of creating artificial clouds or a
pail OF smoke to protect orchards and
vineyards from the consequences Of frost
is generally followed and it has been tried
here with marked success. The popular
idea that the lighting of fires in the orch
ard is for the purpose Of raising the EN-
persture through the heat generated is an
error. Frosts are caused by the radiation
OF the earth's heat during cold, still and
clear nights. BY disturbing that state OF
clearness frost is either prevented from
forming, or II already formed its thawing
is retarded aud made more gradual, and
Is consequently less severe upon the
buds. While there may be no late and
damaging frosts It is well to take precau-
tionary measures and have the smoke
producing csmbustibles ready for light
ing when the sky is clear and the Their
mome.er gives warning OF danger.

THE WHIP FOR WIFE BEATERS

In indorsing the demand Of New Jer-
sey grand jury for the establishment of q
whipping post for wife heaters, the Tren-
ton Gazette argues that this mode of pun
ishment would check that dsstardly class
OF ofenses. II declares that only small
percentage OF such cases come before the
courts, because women will submit indef-
nitely to brutal treatment from their hus-
bands rather than publish 1t to the world
by appealing to the law for protection.
This statement is no doubt true; but 1t
Ia difficult to see how a public fiagella.
tion Of the contemplate offenders would
induce suffering wives to make more FIRE.
quent application to the law for redress.
On the contrary, consciousness Of the
pain and disgrace which this kind OF pun
ishment would inflict would cause women,
especily il they were mothers, to shield
their cowardly husbands from such pen
atty and to endure with greater fortitude
and patience Their own maltreatment.
The ignominy and cruelty of the whip
ping post would simply give wife heaters
additional immunity and encourage the
offense it is designed to eradicate.
This manner Of punishment is YES
tige Of the barbarous doctrine OF an eye
for an eye and q tooth for tooth. II
springs from the old instructive desire to
see torture and suffering repaid in kind.
The horrifying torture of the colored
criminal in Texas recently was prompted
by precisely the same spirit. Such spec
tacles Of ferocity do not satisfy true
sense Of justice, while they have power
iul tendency to weaken sympathy for
suffering by accustoming the people to
the most revolving exhibitions Of 1t.
Wife beating is one Of the most detest BILE
Of offenses; but SO long as the victims Of
1t refuse to seek the legal protection
already provided for them it Is useless to
provide new code Of punishment for
wife heaters.

Lovers OF the mysterious will be inter
ested in this authentic story Two years
ago the portraits of President Harrison,
Mrs. Harrison and DIR. Scott were repro
duced in group on glass. Several copies
were made. Each portrait was colored
and touched up by the artist who took
the group. One of these pictures was
given TO near relative OF the president,
Who lives in baltimore. The portraits
were a. good likenesses, and she priced
them very highly. Here is where the
mysterious part comes in. About three
months before Mrs. Harrison's death the
colors in her picture on the glass com.
meneed TO fade. When she died, only
the head was visible and that family.
Then the same phenomenon was observed
in DR.. Scotts portrait. II began to grow
DINNER and DINNER until only the head
remained. DIR. Scott died within a few
weeks of his daughter. The curious part
OF the matter is that President Harrison
portrait stands out as clear and strong az
1t did on the day it was finished. The
same colors were used on all these nor.
traits and there is no apparent reason wby
one should not last as long as the other
