Governor MacCallum, the British official
under whose jurisdiction the place Is sit
uated, despatched a force of British
troops from Lagos to Saki. On the ar

FROM SLEEP TO DEATH
Physicians Failed to Awaken

Asleep Since Sunday.

Especial to The Jersey City News.
BURLINGTON, Nov. 4, 1Ss7.-Death
claimed Mrs. Thomas Candy this morn
ing as she slept.
She was i'll, and fell into deep sleer
Sunday afternoon and all efforts of the
physicians in attendance failed to rouse
her.
Mrs. Candy was taken i'll some time
ago, but her physician did not think hei
condition alarming until Sunday after
noon when he called. Then he learned
from members of the family that his pa
tient had been sleeping soundly for sew
eral hours.
He noticed that he slumber was unna-
tural and tried to awake the woman.
She slumbered on.
He tried more violent measures, but
still Mrs. Candy slept soundly, breathing
heavily.
Another doctor was summoned, and to-
getner the two physicians used every
known means to drive sleep from the
woman's eyes.
Mrs. Candy remained absolutely un-
conscious.
Z She seemed to grow weaker as she slept
and though some liquid food was given
her it was a difficult operation and there
was danger of her choking to death.
The long, strange sleep which finally re-
suited in Mrs. Gandys death caused nc
end of comment in the neighborhood OF
Burlington.
The unfortunate woman lived on the
Oxmead road; two miles from here, with
her husband and six children.
Early this morning the farmers and
others living within half a dozen miles OF
the Candy house, called to see the wom-
an who had slept so long. They were
surprised when told that she had passed
away, without awakening, shortly after
dawn.
Most of the callers, however, refused to
go away after learning that death had
ended the strange slumber. They gathered
about in knots and discussed the unusual
affair which the doctors were unable to
explain
The funeral will undoubtedly be well at
tended, as 1t is said the woman looks just
the same in death as she did during her
fatal SlepD

productive Power erortheUnited States

1t appears that as regards quantity
three Americans now export as much as
five did twenty years ago, which suffices
to show how groundless are the predic-
tions of some writers who tell UP that as
population increases so the surplus pro-
ducts for expectation must diminish. In
the last twenty years population has risen
from forty-five to seventy-one million
souls, an increase of fifty-eight per cent,
and at the same time the weight OF ex-
ports has risen one hundred and seventy
five per cent; that is three times as fast
as population.
The quantities of food yearly exported
are sufficient to feed 80 million persons in
Europe, from which it appears that Amer
lean farms raise food for 100 millions of
people yearly. The Western praires are
capable of carrying double the present
number of live stock, and producing ten
times as much grain as they do, so that,
for at least century to come, there is
every probability that the expectation of
food will increase with population. The
same is true as regards cotton, the crop
having risen 125 per cent. in twenty years.
The world is only beginning to have evil
dence of the enormous productive power

TOOK THE MACHINE TO COURT.
The Court Went Out in the street.
and InSpected II.

The trial of a suit brought by Pasquale
Criolesa, of Orange. to recover $1,000 from
the Matthessen Cooperage Company for
the loss of two fingers was begun yester-
day afternoon in the Circuit Court, before
Judge Nevius and a jury.
The plaintiff was employed on November
20, 1890, and without any experience or
instruction, as he alleges, was put in
charge of a machine for trimming the
edges of barrels. He had been at work
only short time when two of his fingers
were cut off.
Malcolm McLeer, counsel for the plain
tiff, thought it would help his case to
have the machine examined by the jury,
and it was brought up on truck. The
court took recess while the jury went
out and inspected it on the street In front
of the Court House. The inspection at
tracted large crowd of spectators. The
trial is still on today

DgMENTED WOMAN IN COURT.
Said She Had Lost $4,000 and
RaiaeG a Lively Eime.

Britton Ryal, ffty-five years old, who
does not appear to know where her home
is, created a scene in the First Criminal
Court this morning. The woman was ar
rested last night at Jersey avenue and
Sixth street. She was wandering about
alone. She explained to the policeman
who found her that she had lost $4,000.
When taken to the Seventh street police
station she raised fuss and had finally
to be removed to the Woman's Prison on
the Hill.
Justice Nevin, before whom she was ar
raigned this morning, committed her to
the County Jail for an examination as to
her sanity.
Justice Nevin was later hearing an as
sault case when the woman threw open
the door of the prisoners pen and dash
ed down through the court room. De-
teetive Douglas and Roundsman Noonan
pursued and captured her on the stairs.
She fought them with almost superhu-
man strength. Her arms and feet were
finally secured and she was carried back
to the prisoners pen. Justice Nevin
caused her removal to the County Jail
at once, fearing that if she were not
confined in padded cell she would do
herself bodily injury.
