A DWARF'S QUEER RUSE.
Had Himself Shipped in Box in Order
to Best the Railway.

Four or five years ago one Of the most
celebrated of European prodigies was
the Polish dwarf, Herman Zeitung, at
one time one of the chief attractions at
the Folies Bergere. Latterly Zeitung
has been little in the public eye, or
rather was until the other day, when he
started in to carry out an interesting
exploit which very nearly succeeded. He
had himself fastened up in box adj
dressed to large importing house at
Madrid and labelled Fragile. With
Care. Top" Holes had been made in
this box for breathing purposes and
one Of it's sides was SO constructed that
it could be opened from within to give
the little dwarf a way Of getting out
unnOticed when he reached his destina.
ton. The box was fitted up with a
cushioned seat, and an abundant sup
ply of provisions. was placed within it.
The start was made at Vienna, where
Zeitung had been living for some time,
and after the dwarf had placed himself
inside and fastened himself in two lusty
porters carried him off to the station,
having been paid beforehand fee of
go cents each. They gave the box in
charge to the station master to be
shipped to Madrid by express. Accord
ing to Zeitung the journey was an I'M
interesting one and without incident,
but when he got to the Spanish capital
his troubles began. The Madrid sta
ton master evidently had a poor knowl-
edge as to the fragility of glass, for he
turned the box over and over, and
at last came to the conclusion that it's
contents ought to be investigated. His
aides therefore opened it, and dragged
the dwarf out more dead than alive
from the shaking he had received. 1t
would have puzzled man less full of
expedients how to further punish lei
tung, but the station master solved the
problem by having him arrested for
trying to swindle the railroad compan-
les out of their fares. The dwarfs de-
Tense was that he was travelling in this
manner on bet Of 5000 francs, the
terms Of the wager being that he was to
get to Madrid without a cent in his
pocket. Three hundred francs, how
ever, were found concealed in his shoes.
The real reason of his travelling in this
remarkable manner was that he might
save railroad fare and also get a good
| advertisement for the engagement in
! Madrid, for which he was billed.

APT. JASON LoTHRoP, JR. DEAD
The Particulars of The Awful Accident
Which Ended His Life.

Which Ended His Life.
Following taken from the Buffalo
Express gives the particulars of the
accident which caused the death of
Capt. Jason Lathrop, Jr. The injured
man died a few hours after the acct
dent.
A premature dynamite explosion
occurred this afternoon with sickening
results at the water works extension
Operations. Capt. Jason Lothrop had
charge of Kingston & Woods steam
drill, and was drilling and blasting a
channel for the intake Water-pipe. He
had put down one dynamite cartridge
and his assistant, Charles Harrity, had
another 25-pound cartridge in his
hands.
The men had their backs turned to
each other, and while Harrity attached
the electric wires to the cartridge,
Lothrop, being unconscious of Harrity's
act, turned on the current.
Harritys dismembered and mangled
body was hurled into the lake and
Lothrop was thrown through the side
Of the boat. His legs were mangled
and his injuries are terribly severe.
William Laurie, Seifert Julake, An
roinne and John Hedlind, who were
within 10 feet, were thrown with ter
rife force through the boat, receiving
painful but not dangerous injuries
Harrity was q man of so and lived in
Erie. Lothrop and the other men live
in Buffalo. Strange to say, 400 pounds
of dynamite in a small boat within 10
feet of where Harrity stood, did not
explode"
In letter to Mr.. Lothrop written
by Mrs. Hattie Parsons Dewey, of Erie,
the following additional information is
given: "The accident happened at
2 o'clock yesterday June 81 afternoon,
and until 6 o'clock they had every hope
of Jason's recovery, at which time con-
gestion of the brain set in and he was
unconscious to the last. He passed
away at o'clock this afternoon June
g. No one Will ever quite know how
the accident happened. They were
drilling and blasting. One of the men
held cartridge in his hands and it
exploded. The man who held the
cartridge was killed instantly. Jed
was not mangled any. His limbs were
| hurt little, but the doctor tries to
console us by telling us that his suffer
ing was very slight They do not at
tach the slightest blame to Jason.
The funeral will be held Saturday
morning from my home in Buffalo, and
he will be buried in Forest Lawn at
Buffalo. Every one here has been
more than kind to us, and everything
possible was done for him, but there
was SO little that could be done. Ada,

People are slow to accept new theo-
ries which disturb existing ones, but
are quick to recognize practical results.
This is illustrated by the way Dr.
Weare's Investigations and discoveries
regarding the heaves in horses was re-
ceived. AS long as he argued, all horse
men denied that heaves could be cured.
But when he began to demonstrate,
doubt and controversy gave place to
confidence and use. DR.. Weare's Sure
Cure for Heaves has been advertised
to a considerable extent throughout
this section during the past three

tried the remedy to see what it would

satisfactory and these farmers now own

formerly possessed only wheezy wrecks.

MARRIED 100 YEARS.
All Marriage Records Broken by This
Interesting Old Couple.

All Marriage Records Broken by This
Interesting Old Couple.
The hundredth man has been a char
acter of fiction, but it is reserved for
sober fact and reality to instance the
man who can celebrate his hundredth
wedding anniversary. Such a celebra-
ton actually occurred during the month
of April in a little village of Hungary,
Zsombulga by name, the still happy
bridegroom being 116 years of age and
named Jean Szathmary, and his bride
but a year his junior. These people
were peasants and among the poorest
in the little Hungarian town, but the
fact of their having lived to celebrate
so unique an occurrence as the hun
dredth anniversary Of their marriage
has made them the most honored citi-
zens Of the place. The little municipal
ity of Zsombulga has voted them a
pension, and so long as they live they
will be taken care of by the village. The
Viennese journals sent correspondents
to describe the old couple in the fullest
detail.
