One Of the Day Stars Crew
Killed Today.
Edward Flanagan was at Work in
The PaddIebox.
Steam Turned on Too Quick-CaugSt
Between Wheel and Bullxhead.

Edward Flanagan, aged about 40, was
killed on the steamer Day Star OF the
Continental line at 80 this morning.
Flannigan had been in the employ of
the company for the season, and it was a
part OF his work, with others, to over
haul the paddle wheels of the steamer
Day Star each morning before the first
TRIP:
This morning Flannigan had fer an
assistant Patrick Spilling, and they were
tightening up the bolts that holds the
buckets to the frame OF the wheel Flan-
nigan was standing on the edge Of
bucket with his back toward the bulk
head, and had made fast all OF the bolts
that he could reach from that position,
and either Flanagan or Spilling shouted
to have the wheel turned over so that
they could get at more of the bolts. The
order TO go ahead from the inside was
heard upon the deck of the steamer, ard
the order was communicated to assistant
engineer Cunningham, who, supposing
that everything was all right, turned on
the steam, and as the large wheel began
To revolve, the screams OF man was
heard in the paddlebox
Sullivan shouted to the engineer to
shut of the steam, which he did, and
upon looking into the paddlebox they
saw the form OF Flanagan crushed in be-
tween the outer edge of one of the
buckets, and the bulkhead of the paddle
box.
Spilling, who was with Flannigan
stood in the little doorway that led into
the paddlebox, and thus escaped injury.
Sullivan, Spilling and John Shay went
to the assistance of their fellowshipmate
and after the wheel had been reversed a
sufficient distance to allow the form OF
Flanagan to be removed, he was taken
out, and TO all appearances was dead.
He was taken to the freigh. house, and
upon the arrival OF the physician from
the Rhode Island Hospital he found that
the man was dead, and was of the opinion
that he was killed almost in stantly.
Medical Examiner O'keefe was called
by policeman p. L. Duffy. After viewing
the remains the medical examiner told
officer Duffy to notify undertaken Mona
han, who has taken charge of the body.
Flanagan Is said to reside somewhere
on Greenwich street, New York city, and
has two brothers in that city and one in a
city somewhere in Massachusetts,. He
also has an intimate friend named
Malone, who is one Of the crew OF the
steamer Massachusetts, of the Providence
line of steamers.
So far as known Flanagan was single
man.
IL the remains are not called for by rela-
tives the Continental company VIII bear
all OF the expense of interment.
The Day Star left at its regular hour, .
O'Clock.
The case will be investigated by the
coroner.

had been standing of and on, but as soon
as the preparatory gun was fired, they
wore round and clustered to the right of
the flagship, and with their sheets
trimmed well in they logged along down
before the wind with one eye on the line
over the star board bow.
A minute before the starting gun was
fired the Volunteer gathered herself up,
and wearing round headed for the light

they crossed the line together, Is seconds
after the starting gun was fired. The
Jubilee was right behind them, and all
three crossed on the starboard tack.
Something happened TO the Vigilant as
the gun was fired and she hung back for
four minutes, starting Just ahead of the
schooners.
Five minutes after the gun for the
sloops was fired the schooner class started
with the black Lasca in the lead. In
stead of standing over to the Narragansett
shore after the sloops they went off on
the starboard tack out to sea.
The wind AT this time had increased to
~ miles an hour, and was little east OF

The COLUMBIA ARRIVED.
Quick Run Of the Cruiser Across the
Atlantic.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The United States
cruiser Columbia was sighted from Sandy
Hook at $3.50 a. IN. The Columbia sailed
from Southampton, England at 1890 on
Friday afternoon last, July 26, passing
the Needles at 30. Her time, therefore,
from the Needles TO Sandy Hook bar Is
about days, / hour and Is minutes.
The American steamship Paris, on her
last trip from southampton, covered 3075
knots, and assuming that this is the dis
tance the Columbia covered, her time,
therefore, on her present trip may be
considered as very fair.
= The United States cruiser Columbia
reached quarantine at 10:35 a. m. Her
log gives her arrival at Bar Harbor at
$3.50, nd her passage from the Needles
TO Sandy Hook lightship, six days, %
hours and 80 minutes. Her days runs
were 400, 460, 473, ass, 455, 453, and 4O5
knots. Total distance, 3l09 knots.
Average speed is 49, III knots.
The Columbia, on her official four
hours trial i'm November. 1893, averaged
%. 81 knots an hour, and attained max
imum OF 30 knots an hour for a dis
tance OF nearly eight knots.

1ne nears and Bicycle Riders.

There is not cycle rider of any age in whom the heart is not influenced so as to do more work, and although in skilled cyclists and trained cyclists a certain balance is set up which equal izes the motion such riders are not ex- empt from danger. I have known the beats of the heart to rise from so to 200 in the minute, in the first exercise of riding, an increase which, for the time, more than doubles the amount of work done-a very serious fact when we re- member that the extreme natural mo- tion of the heart allows it to perform task equal to raising not less than 122 foot tons ill the course of 24 hours-that is to say, over foot tons an hour.
 In the young we may apply the same argument to the heart as we have done to the skeleton. The heart is undergo ing its development, and ito is an organ which cannot without danger be whipped beyond its natural pace. What occurs with it under such circumstances is that 1 it grows larger than it ought to grow ; that it works out of harmony with the 1 rest of the body and is then most easily agitated by influences and impressions acting upon it through the mind. I have 1 many times seen this truth illustrated too plainly, and doubt whether in the | young, after extreme exercise, such as | that which arises from prolonged race, the heart ever comes down to its natural beat for a period of less than three days devoted to repose. e.-Sir Benjamin Ward | Richardson, M. D., in North American 1 Review.

Bequests of Hearts.

Requests of hearts have been by no means uncommon. Richard Crur de Lion bequeathed his heart to the canons of Rouen cathedral, and in July, 1888, this remarkable relic was once again brought to light after the lapse of six centuries. The heart, which is said to have been surprisingly large, was in- closed i'll boxes of lead and silver and withered, as it was described, to the semblance of a faded leaf.
 Bruce's heart was by his dying wish intrusted to Douglas to fulfill a VOW which he had been unable to execute in person, of visiting the sepulcher of Christ. Douglas, tender and true, |" promised to fulfill his sovereisn's last request, and after Bruce's death, having received the heart incased in casket of gold, set forth upon his mission. Pro- ceeding to Spain, however, he fell in the thick of fight with the Moors, hay ing previous to his final charge cast the heart of Bruce from his breast, when he carried it into the ranks of the inf dels, crying, "Onward as thou vert wont; Douglas will follow thee!" Bruce's heart was afterward recovered by Sir Simon Lockhart, by whom it was brought to Scotland and buried along with the bones of Douglas in the | abbey of Melrose. When the remains of Bruce were tlisinterred at Dunferline in | 1919, the breastbone was found sawn | through so as to permit of the removal of the heart. Temple Bar.

The Letter Lock.

The principle of the puzzle or letter lock, an invention dating centuries back, has now been revived and applied by M. Deny, French inventor, to the con Struction of new key adapted to q multitude of locks. The mechanism in volved is said to be simple, consisting of a number of ring shaped wards in closed in cylinder around the keyhole and adjusted to the wards of the key in any required combination. The mechan- ism is such that is estimated some 5000 different locks may be so arranged as to be all unlocked by one master key, while other keys will open only single one or any desired series of the locks. This is illustrated by the fact that large school near Paris has at least 250 locks, all being unlocked by the directors key, while chambermaid s key unlocls only the doors of the professors chambers, while the key of each professor admits him only to his own room.-New York Sun.

MRS. HOWELL HELD.
She Is Charged With Poisoning Miss Libbi
 Knapp.


 wELLsBoRo, Pa., Aug. 16.-The exami- nation of Mrs. Charlotte Howell charged with the poisoning of Miss Libbie Knapp at Tioga, resulted in Mrs. Howell being remanded to jail to await the action of the grand jury next month.
 Dr. Niles, the coroner, testified to the finding of evidence of poison in Miss Knapp's stomach, and Dr. Brown, the at- tending physician before her death, told of similar symptoms when he was called in.
 Mrs. Stevens, a neighbor, testified to having let Mrs. Howell have rough on rats on three occasions-once on the plea that she wanted to kill dog, another time to kill cat, and on the last occasion she left the whole box with her because she had a dream which she said made her fear that Mrs. Stevens would be poisoned by the stuff.
 Mrs. Howell placed the poison in a cup board. Two or three days after Miss Knapp died Mrs. Stevens asked Mrs. Howell about the poison. and she replied that she had burned it up since Libbie died bcause she had been afraid to havo it in tho house.
 The threatening and obscene letters re- ceivel by Miss Knapp were offered in evidence, together with some copies of them made by Mrs. Howell, to show that the pencil printing was done by the same hand as the originals. Evidence was also adduced to show that the statements made by Mrs. Howell about the death of the girl were not according to the facts.
 This evidence, as a whole, was consid, cred sufficient to hold the woman to an swer a charge of murder.
