Through Animals

A correspondent writes 10 say that
many fires originate through animals.
Mice and rats ignite matches while
gnawing them; and one fire was caus-
ed by jackdaw pecking III a box OF
matches. and so igniting the contents.
Cats have caused fires by upsetting
lights, scattering red-hot cinders, and
in other ways: fires have occurred from
carelessness in bug hunting; by fish
globes full of water, the suns rays
have been concentrated sufficiently to
ignite furniture: and birds nests have
caught sparks from ne:ghboring chin
neys, and have thus been fired.

Finally Affected the Daughters Minds (

New York, April Sin theinsane pavil-
ion at Bellevue Hospital there are two
spinster sisters whom the physicians will
examine oday. For 20 years these women
have tended their mother, who is insane
and bed-ridden. Their father was in an
asylum for five years. Yesterday, worn
ont by the long and constant watch over
their mother and in the belief that some
day they would come to her condition,
both women tried to kill themselves. The
women are Mary A. and Harriet McArdle,
the first 40 years old and the other 81.
Their father, James McArdle, is now 50
years old. He is a retired builder.
Shortly before noon yesterday the father
went to church. He had been gone but
little while when Mary, going into the
kitchen, found Harriet pouring carbolic
acid into glass of water. Mary watched
her sister until she put the glass to her
lips. Then she dashed it from her hands,
After that there was. struggle between
the two women, for Harriet insisted that
she must kill herself and tried to jump
ont OF the window.
The cries of Mary alarmed the neigh
bors, who hurried into the place. After
half an hour Harriet became calm. All
the neighbors left them, except two women
who said they would stay during the after
noon. Mary, in telling them about the
troubles OF her life, became so excited that

self to the courtyard, three stories below,
had not one of the women present grasped
her about the waist and dragged her back.
| into the room. 1t was Harriet, now, who
| Quieted her sister; but Mary got worse.
! until Harriet in her efforts to calm her
! sister, became hysterical
/ When the father got home late in the
afternoon he saw that affairs were beyond
his control and he called in the police. AS
the officers entered the room they were
beset by the sisters, who begged to be given
| pistols with which to kill themselves and
being refused pleaded with the officers to
kill them. When the doctor came the
women became calm. They said they
knew perfectly we'll they were insane and
were anxious to so to the hospital.
