HOTTED HER SPINE.
Singular Misfortune Of an Indiana Girl
Who Had Swallowed n Pin.

Who Had Swallowed n Pin.
A large number of physicians who
were acquainted with the case of Nerla,
the 12-year-old daughter of Frank
Chrisman, a prominent business man Of
Middletown, near Muncie, Ind, were
unanimous in saying that it was the
most peculiar case of the kind Oh rec
ord. says the Cincinnati Enquirer. This
girl died at her home the other evening
after terrible suffering for four years.
When at the age of six years she swal-
lowed pin. She did not suffer any
from the effects, but her frightened
parents summoned a physician, who in
formed them that it was an impossi-
bility to remove the pin. but that it
would soon work out ut some portion of
the body. Two years later she com
mcnced suffering with pains in her
back, and it soon became necessary
that she remain in bed. \ physician
was called, but could not explain the
cause of the pain. Other physicians
were called and the cause unexplained
one day when they discovered the point
of the pm protruding through her back
Just below the shoulder blades. The
physicians removed the pin and from
that time until her death her suffering
was continual. The pin having worked
its way through the spinal column,
caused a separation of the suture con-
Meeting the vertebrae, which immedi-
atcly commenced to decay. \ hump
formed on her back and assumed large
animation was made which revealed
that the spinal column had entirely
rotted in twain, four of the ver-
tclrae being completely gone. The
ribs were, of course, disconnected and
were floating.

ali for encouragement, and swan on
steadily. The boat as steadily gained
on him. The channel was widening
now, and Max evidently had no inten-
ton of abandoning the race.
Everyone on the boat presently be-
came much excited, and beginning with
sympathy for Little Jack. ended in the
deepest anxiety as to the fate of the dog
Jack was still standing beside the girl,
w no was making no effort to hide the
excitement that was taking possession
of her. Jacks father stood just behind
with light hand on his child's shout
der. Towle was not far away.
The boy was trembling in every limb
''Oh, Max! Dear Maxi" he cried. You
can't catch us!" Then, recalled by his
fathers touch. why, papa. We must
stop the boat, SO he can catch up"
The girl reached out her hand and
took hold of Jacks. She said nothing
but her teeth were pressed tightly
against her lower lip, and the big, brown
eyes were beginning to fill.
The only apparently uninterested per-
son on the boat was the captain. The
awning had not yet been spread over the
deck, and he could plainly be seen stand
ing in the pilot house. Towle turned
toward him and called out: Il say, cap
tain, can't you slow down, and let my
dog come up with us? He won't go
back, and I'm afraid he can't hold out
much longer"
The captain turned from the wheel
for a moment, and glanced laziIy toward
the dog bravely padding away for his
life
"Oh, he'll get along well enough. He'll
soon give up and go back. L can't stop
for a dog"
Murmurs of indignation were heard
on every hand. Jacks face bore look
| of the most complete surprise at the
discovery that the captain could pos
sibly refuse to stop for MaX's sake. The
sympathetic tears in Priscillas eyes
turned to glittering evidences of deep
| Indignation, as she stamped her foot,
and seemed about to speak. But Towle's
| words came first:

completely dispelled the momentary
frenzy of excitement that had impelled
her to jump. She felt nothing but cha
grin now. She did not want to look any
body in the face, and there was not only
the sailor close behind, but boat load
of others were coming. She wished that
she dared to go on with the part and
dive down to the bottom of the sea.
The sailors breathing sounded aw-
fully near and the click of the oar
locks told how near the boat was also

seemed to her to be laughing at her
predicament. She was beginning to
think she had better drown herself
than to face all the modification that
seemed to threaten. when she suddenly
stopped swimming and disappeared.
The sailor reached the spot where the
girl had gone down just in time to see
her black hair cleaning at the surface
again. Placing one arm under her body,
he supported it as best he might until
the boat came up. Towle was in the
bow, terribly frightened to see the girl
lying so still in the water.

Whisper.
"Oh, no. said some one. She'll soon
come to. There's too much color there
for bad faint"
They lifted her in and laid her care
fully in the thwarts, pea jacket under
her, with Towle's coat for a pillow.
Don't forget the dog!" said a sailor.
That's So" said Towle. coming back
from the realm of fancy into which he
found himself drifting. "Pick up the
poor beast. and you shan't lose by it,
boys"
And so Max, in full worse plight than
the girl herself seemed to be, was hauled
in and placed beside her.
Everybody on the steamer crowded
to the side to catch a glimpse of the
heroine of the hour. The stewardess
knelt down beside the drenched figure
as soon as it was brought on deck and
officially announced that the girl was
only in faint. The crowd was present

The burden bearers had scarcely d.

the girl jumped from the sofa on which
they had placed her, and, falling on
her knees in front of the startled stew

You'll never tell anybody, will you?
I didn't faint at all. 1 just couldn't look

poor girl burst into tears.
Meanwhile the boat passed through
He'll Gate and presently neared the
pier. The stewardess kept the girl be-
low until all the other passengers had
disembarked. Towle waited in vain for
her temperance. In answer to his in
quiry he was told that the young lady
had quite recovered, but must not be
disturbed" Nobody found out who
she was. Whether Towle was more for
tunate subsequently pertains not to this
story.
Even Jack and Mack had to go ashore
without so much as saying good-by to
Priscilla; but one of the deckhands, an
old salt and dry one, watched her out
of the corner of his eye when she finally
came on deck and hurried alone down
the plank. This was his comment:

knew gal to do; and the foolishest."

There's very little of the milk of hu-
man kindness in that fellow, fancy"

such a case He'd stop quick enough
if there was man overheard.
Scarcely were the words spoken be-

lower deck.
eMan overboard." was the cry in
deed.
So suddenly it came that it almost
seemed like trick to bring the captain
to terms In the confusion of the mo-
ment the reality appeared strangely un-
real. Even little Jack was at first
scarcely able to understand, when he
managed to cry out:
There she isl Don't let her drown,

No one but Jack had noticed how
something his father said seemed to add
to the excitement of the pretty girl by
his side, and in his terror for the fate of
poor Max he hardly realized what she
was doing when she put one foot up on
the rail and vaulted over the side.
1t was all done in an instant; she was

decks and was swimming with steady,

stalled him. Yet, after all, the girl die

CUBAN AUTONOMY.

This May Result from the Accession of
Sagasta to the Premiership.
WASHINGTON, Oct 5.-One result of
the formation of a Sagasta cabinet in
Spain, it is believed, will be the grant
ing of amnesty to most, if not all, of
the American prisoners held in Cuba
and the pardon of many Cubans con-
demned to imprisonment in the island
of Ceuta- Although there is continued
reticence at the state department con-
corning SpanishCuban affairs, it
is understood that the govern
ment has been informed that Spain
will offer autonomy to Cuba similar to
that enjoyed by Canada, and in admin
istration circles the prevalent opinion
seems to be that if full measure of
real autonomy is offered, it should be
accepted by the Cubans. The incom-
ing of the Sagasta cabinet is welcomed
by the administration, which, several
weeks ago, was apprehensive of a pos
sible early disturbance of our friendly
relations with Spain.

loudly from the little crowd that was

more than the captain could quietly en-

Leaving the wheel to his mate, he
stepped out on the hurricane deck, and,
looking down upon the passengers, his
hands in his pockets and determination
in his eye, blurted out:

His red tongue now and again showed

Little arms that fondly Irvine
Round my neck with loving fervor.
Little red lips coaxing mine

Of the hilltops slowly climb,
There is something 1 hold dearer-

Softly rocking in the twilight,
Grooming some old cradle song,
Answering the many questions
That to childhood'S realm belong,
Till the lashes, downward creeping.
Touch her cheek with dainty grace.
And l softly press warm kisses
On the faint-f1ushed, upturned face.

All too soon the years will fly,
You will grow away from mother,
Will not need her lula by.

And 1 know till life's decline,

He VIII Undertake to Build rs Miles of a
Railroad in Tennessee.
CHICAGO, Oct. 5.-Railroad building
has been selected by Eugene V. Debs
the first great industrial project to
be undertaken by the Social Democra-
cy of America. He has sought for the
privilege of constructing a railroad in
Tennessee, and if his preliminary plans
meet with favor the work will be
launched next month. The city of
Nashville will receive a formal prop
osition from the social democracy
to build 75-mile road from Nashville
to Lebanon, which will be turned over
to the city of Nashville for a nominal
consideration. Labor for the building
and operating of the railroad will be
furnished by the social democracy, and
it is intended that the road be main
tanned under the methods set forth by
the advocates of public ownership of
railroads.
