Died Amid Reyeiry.

81 -
While the wealth and fashion of New
York, Philadelphia, Boston and Wash
ington were listening to the Damrosch
concert, which marked the opening Of
the magnificent new Waldorf hotel, one
OF the girls employed in the new hostel
ry fell down the elevator shaft from the
eleventh story and was instantly killed.
The girl was Katie M~cInearny. She
WA % years old. She went up in one
OF the rear elevators, intending TO go to
tho wardrobe room on the eleventh floor.
As she started to leave the car her dress
caught in the gate.
The elevator boy. Richard Cliff, said.
"Wait u moment now. and I'll get it
clear"
he pulled the rope. expecting that by
raising the elevator a few inches the
dress would be released. The elevator
shot up like a rocket, and the girl was
dragged with it, her body swinging un-
der the floor Of the Cur.
The cloth was not strong enough to
bear her weight and tore apart, the girls
body falling to the foot of the shaft
nearly $50 feet below. Every bone in
the girls body was broken.
The body was hastily removed to the
wine cellar. and the festivities were con
tinued without any of the guests know,
ing that a tragedy had been enacted
within a few yards of where they stood

Disappearance Of an Island.

Expedition island is no more. Your
map shows it lying on the northwest
coast of Australia about 90 miles from
the mainland. When it fourished in
all its glory, az it has since time out OF
memory, it was a beautiful tract of
land IL miles long and II to 9 miles
broad. The Swedish trader Laem-
strom visited it early in the spring of
1892, and the Dutch naturalists of the
Thignig gathered rare botanical speci-
mems and collected many hundred sets
OF eggs, to say nothing of the many
other objects of natural history, during
the months of May and June last year.
A vessel was sailing in those parts quite
recently when the officers remarked the
absence of the island.
The captain ordered that soundings be
made. All around thousands of feet OF
water were found. Finally, upon observ-
ing that there was no signs of breakers
on the former sight of the island, he or.
dered that they sail directly across where
the island had formerly been. Sound.
ings were again taken. which resulted in
finding that the island had only sunk to
q depth Of Is feet below the surface. II
was OF the largest islands on the
Australian coast. and it's sudden subsid.
ence is "A m~ystery.-St. Louis Republic.

was now becoming SO promiscuous that
the doughty deputy disclaimed all inter
est in the team and was willing to let
any man have it who would pay It's
keeping. He had already accumulated
q stack Of bonds to secure himself that
would I'LL a trunk and he didn't care how
soon the team found out to whom il
belonged. To win his first case, Mr..
Fitzbullen thought some OF 20 buying
up the chattel mortgage and getting
clear title to the team, but had scarcely
made up his mind to this when along
came johnson & Cuisine with a second
mortgage, and as there appeared to be
a never-ending progression to this title
OF ownership, he concluded to take a
rest and think the thing ove The
team and the stack OF bonds of the diff
ferent men who claim it, are still in pos.
session OF the sheriff, and the parties to
thestrife are hors du combat.

Three of our most distinguished judges.
sitting in the court Of appeal, have been
trying to decide an old question Of law
There Is Land tax levied on land, and a
decision was. asked whether this tax
could rightly be levied on a hole cut
through the land. in which hole a train
was accua.oa.aa to r.,a, The Me.ropo,i-
tan railE-&. was Sc, taxed for It's tunnels,
but objected to meeting the claim on the
plea that it WAS not the owner of the
surface, and that its tunnels were largely
beneath the public streets.
"ort Of sight, out of mind" excellent
maxim as it is. did not. however, prevail
with the tax collector. How has it pre-
vailed with the court of appeal? The
judges hold that the tunnels must bear
the tax. and that the railway company
must pay, though where the surface
ground belongs to another owner the
land tax might be levied ON both parties,

What Did Yi,ey Hear9

A few years ago | was assistant janitor
of a large insurance building neal old
Trinity, New York. The head ~janitor's
family lived in Greenville, N. J. He
went home every Saturday night. The
elevator nan (my brother) and / took
turns in watching the building Sundays.
The ~janitor had an old friend who was a
p~antryman on one of the Old Domini, a
steamships. He called one Friday, but
the ~janitor was out. He was disappoint-
ed because the steamer he worked on
sailed the next day Saturday, and he
told me there was q storm brewing and
he was afraid of a rough passage.
Sunday morning I got my breakfast,
went out and got a paper and then went
down into the engine room in the base
ment. | sat there talking to the fireman
perhaps Is or 20 minutes. All this time
the front iron doors were locked and the
key in my pocket.
At once we heard the front door above
thrown violently open, and it seemed as
if a hundred people came rushing in on
the main Office floor. The fireman jumped
up and exclaimed, Frank, what tie
devil is that?" / listened a moment ard
somebody up stairs screamed: "My Godi
My Godl We are lost! We are losti'
We were both pretty well frightened,
but we rushed up stairs and found every
thing as quiet as the grave, not a soul in
sight and the front doors locked as | had
left them.
The next morning when I looked in
the paper what should / see ON the first
page but an account of a shipwreck, and
it was the very same ship that the poor
pantryman did not wish to sail on the
Saturday before. Ills name was among
the lost. Now can any one explain what
it was | heard that Sunday?-Cor. New
York Recorder.

Guns Disabled by Frost.

Up TO the present we have not felt
able to advocate the general use of cleo.
trio motors in place of hydraulic gear
or auxiliary steam engines on board
ship, but the effect Of the recent frost on
the Benbow discloses a weak point in
hydraulic machinery which has no par.
allel in electrical work. The gear Of the
heavy guns has been not only disabled,
but has suffered such serious injury that
it has been found necessary to take the
greater portion of it to pieces. and to
forward it TO the manufacturers for re-.
construction and epair.-Electrician.

Both Women Were Fined.

The James creek canal, which is known as a

have been lost in the filthy stream and because
OF the disease spread by foul odors emanating
from 1t. does not have the effect of frightening
those who reside along its banks and while per-
sons are falling in the water others are engaged
In quarrels and fights. The last ones to figure
IN an unfrlendly meeting were Mamie BarteIl,
wnite, and Alice Evans, colored. A shotgun
belonging in the Bartell family figured in the
anair and 1t also figured in the hearing of the
case In Judge Miller's court this morning.
Mr. James L. Pugh, jr., the prosecuting at
torney for the District, examined the gun and
found that it was perhaps used at the firing
upon Fort Sumter. As club the combna-
ton OF wood and iron could be used effectively,
but as gun it was valueless.
Dogs, in cans lad cobble SIC mes were discussed,
but the dog seemed to have been the most i'm
