ro Cross the Ocean In a Cockleshell.

A novel experiment in ocean naviga-
ton is to be attempted by a Nottingham
enthusiast who has been occupying him
self for year past with the construc
ton of boat in which he proposes to
cross the Atlantic during the summer.
The vessel, which is built of iron and is
entirely of his own design and make, is
only 10 feet inches long, with 8 feet
beam and feet inches depth, and is
thus the smallest craft that has ever at
tempted such an adventurous voyage.
1t is what is known as a "whaleback"
deck, and the cabin, lighted by glass
windows at the side, will be completely
water tight when closed, fresh air being
obtained by pipes.
Should the tiny craft be overturned
the inventor claims that 1t will automat-
ically right itself. She will be fitted with
10 foot mast from the fore deck with
lib and mainsail, and additional motive
power will be supplied bya geared hand
screw. The navigator intends to start
from Nottingham, sailing down the
Trent to Hull, and making for the At
lantic by way of the English channel.
He expects that the trip will occupy him
something over month.-London Tele-

MILITARY BRUTALITY.
She Poet Heigel and an Old Man Cut Down
by Austrian Officers.

she Poet Heigel and an Old Man Cut Down
by Austrian Officers.
In Germany and Austria every week
brings with it instances of military bru-
tality toward civilians. Most of these
instances are forgotten after the publica-
ton of few Indignant paragraphs in
the Radical journals and Radical or So
cial Democratic Interpolation in parlia-
ment. One that occurred at Riya, OF
Lago di Garda, two weeks ago, however.
was SO remarkable for such exceptional
brutality that it has had more serious
consequences.
Carl Heigel, the German poet, was sit
ting with friend at a table in the great
concert garden in Riva. His friend was
65 years old and somewhat decrapit. Al
the next table sat several officers Of the
imperial chasseurs, who are Carrisoned
at Riva. Heigel's friend, who had been
wearied by rather long walk, fell asleep
and the officers began to poke fun at
him. They were so loud that they woke
the old man up When he heard them
cracking Jokes at his expense, he re,
marked to Heigel:
"Persons who make fun of an old man
can hardly be gentlemen, even if they do
wear uniforms"
Heigel nodded assent. All the officers
heard the remark and saw the nod. One
Of them sprang up, faced Heigel and
ordered him and the old man to leave
the garden. Heigel's answer was stun
ming open hand blow which sent the
officer Keeling back on the table.
Then followed scene with features
painfully familiar to persons who have
lived in Germany or Austria. The Off
GERS drew their swords and started for
ward to run through the two unarmed
men. The old man fell at the first onset,
but Heigel stood his ground, dealing
blows right and left until cut down.
Blood was flowing from three wounds
in his head and he lay half unconscious.
A young lieutenant aimed a sword
blow at him, but the bandmaster, Bru-
nelli, who had fastened from the plat
form, caught the sword with his baton
and pushed the lieutenant back. Sever
al other men gathered in front of Heigel
and his companion and threatened to
make short work of the officers in case
another blow should be struck. A crowd
invaded the garden, began jostling the
officers and demanded that they be dis
armed and punished then and there.
The police were obliged to interfere to
save the officers from violence, although
no policeman had found time to inter
fere when Heigel and his companion
were beaten down.
Heigel has received calls daily in his
sickroom from all the most conspicuous
persons in Riva, excepting, of course, the
military. The city officials have called
upon him to apologize for the attack il
the garden. Throughout the whole dis
| trict round Riva there was unanimous
demand for the punishment Of the off
GERS concerned in the fight. A high rail
way official who was with them in the
garden was discharged. A lieutenant
| colonel, who struck down Heigel's com
panion, was called coward by cap
tain in his own regiment. In the due
which followed both officers were wound
ed. The rest of the officers will be triei
by court martial.
Heigel and his friend are recovering
slowly. View York Sun.

Thoroughbred Stock in New York State
Afflicted with tuberculosis.

NEW YORK, March 11.-Stock raisers of
New York State are aroused on the sub
iect of the existence of tuberculosis among
cattle, and ii is proposed to call upon the
Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington
TO quarantine all New York State cattle
pending a thorough investigation. At
meeting of the breeders in this city it was
claimed that the New York State Board
OF Health has been killing a large number
OF cattle suffering from this disease, in an
effort TO suppress IL, but that, owing to the
lack or legislative appropriation. ii has
been obliged to relax It's efforts in that di-
rection. The action thus taken by the
board has only gone far enough TO arouse
and excite cattle raisers. who are now max
Ing every effort 10 dispose of their cattle
outside OF the State of New York, thus
avoiding a quarantine by the State Board
OF Health. 1t Is alleged that such action
on the part Of stock raisers IS spreading
the disease broadcast throughout the coun-
try. IL was also stated that many thor
oughbred cattle have been sent TO distant

III is learned from trustworty sources
that the British government is investigat-
Ing, through special agents, the existence
Of tuberculosis in this State and that IN
IS not unlikely that that government will
close its ports against the importation OF
American cattle because OF the prevalence
here OF this disease. The cattle breeders.
at their meeting here, claimed that such
action on the part OF the British govern
ment would be entirely unwarranted, and

POISONOUS MEDICINE.
Further Concerning the Death of Mrs.
Holmes and Her Daughter.

POMEROY, o., March u.-An autopsy
was held on the remains of Mrs Holmes at
Syracuse to-day, revealing the fact that her
stomach had been destroyed by some pow
erful drug and that she had congestion of
the lungs, either of which would have
proven fatal. The official investigation will
not be completed for several days. but it
is believed by the coroner that the death
of both mother and daughter cannot lie
Iaced to any criminal source. He states
that the investigation shows that the daugh-
ter, Mrs. Joseph Matthews, took an over
dose of the alleged liver medicine, prepared
and used by her father under misappra-
hension that it would more speedily relieve
stomach trouble and died from the effects
thereof in two days. She took the nedi-
cine Of her own volition- The mother, Mrs
Holmes, took a double dose OF the same
preparation Of her own accord TO allay Cos

place the blame on DR.. ROwley. The body
OF the daughter has not yet been exhumed.

The Secretary'S letter entirely fails to

FIENDISH CHICAGOANS.
Drunken Man Horribly Burned with a
Red Hot Poker by Saloon Attaches.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Albert Barkowsky,
eighteen years old, and George Dunn,
bartender were arrested to-day for infiict
ing serious and cruel wounds upon Thomas
T. Davies, a porter in a barber shop, with
a red hot poker. Davies went to the sa-
loon owned by Barkowsky's father, greatly
under the influence of liquor, and it was
there the injuries were inflicted by the
prisoners. Both of his eyebrows were
burned away and under each eye the hot
iron burned a track an inch long, and a
similar mark was left behind each ear.
On each wrist the skin was burned away
for an inch and a half while on each leg.
from the ankle up. for a distance of six
inches, the hot iron burned almost to the
bone. In the region of the abdomen also
there are severe burns, while many of his
ribs were traced with the hot metal. He
will probably be crippled for life. The pris-
oners had no reason for their diabolical
treatment of the unfortunate man except
pure maliciousness.

STAGE COACH OVERTURNED,
And Fourteen Employees of a Midwinter

SAN FRANCISCO, March 11.-At the
midwinter fair grounds, last night. a stage
coach with twenty people on board over
turned while going around a corner at a
rapid rate. Fourteen persons were injured,
Of whom three women and four men were

regular driver, young man named VIII
liam West held the reins over the four
spirited horses. In making a sharp turn,
the king-pin broke and the coach came to
the ground with heavy jolt and toppled
over. Three of the-lancing girls received
painful cuts about the head. Two men were
buried beneath the overturned vehicle and
received internal injuries. 7. j. Weston
