up skulls and marrow bones, to which no.
body paid the least attention-though 1
noticed more than one Uranium with hair
clinging to it as if its owner were recently
among the living. Most OF the interments
in this section are made without coffins,-
the bodies brought on stretchers, laid un-
covered in the dirt, and quick-lime shovel
ed over.
Then I paid visit to the dead house,"
where the carts were unloading their morn.
ing cargo from Los Fossos and the city hospi-
tails. In the long dim room, with its concrete
floor and iron barred windows without e lass
in them, a row of tables were covered with
cotfins and with cadavers on stretchers.
Among the latter was soidler-bare legs
and arms sticking out and head swathed in
his own dirty blanket; fair sample OF the
care with which S pain rewards her defend
ers. In a candle box, painted sky-blue but
without a cover, lay tiny baby, with red
paper roses in its hands and hair, waiting
its turn of burial by rude hands in the re-
concentrates corner. A ray of sunlight
shining through the window, touched the
baby's hair as with a benediction. 1 spread
my handkerchief over the little face but
with small hope that the unfeeling grave
6iggers would leave it there when the clods
were thrown over. Luckily there are no
flies in fever-infested Cuba. Adjoining this
chamber of horrors is another, piled to the
ceiling wish quick lime-a rapidly decreas-
ing supply as the burials progress.
At the suggestion Of the sexton, 1 entered
the carriage and was driven to the remote
northeastern corner of the enclosure, to a
place which few who visit this cemetery
ever hear of. 1t is large, square pit, of
what depth nobody knows, filled to the brim
with human bones-taken from the old cem-
etery and from hired graves in the new one
after the rental has expired. The tracks of
wheels over crumbled bones show where
horses and carts are driven in over the heap
to deposit fresh loads. Hundreds of broken
cotfins were piled in one corner, and thou
sands of skulls-some white and shining
with long exposure to the sun, others with
grave mold green upon them-grinned from
every side, as who should say This is con-
Secrdted ground!" FANNIE B. WARD.

Granite State Provident Association.

Chicago spectators are making offers to
the Maine shareholders of the insolvent
Granite State Provident Association equal
to about II IL per cent. of the amount actu-
ally paid in on their shares. Bank Examin-
er Timberlake has been interviewed by the
Kennebec journal on the matter and his
unbiased opinion is that the offer should not
be accepted. Maine shareholders had paid
to the Association up to the time it's license
was revoked in this State over 100000.
The association at that time had deposited
with onr State treasurer about $40, 900 for
the protection of shareholders in this State.
1t owned and afterwarders turned over to the
receiver for Maine, about $4,000 in mort
cages upon property situated in this State.
If this could be divided among the Maine
shareholders they would receive over fifty
per cent. of the amount paid in, but Mr..
Timberlake thinks it probable these assets
will be turned over to the domiciliary re-
ceiver in New Hampshire and our stock
holders share equally with the members of
the association in other States. Even in
that case he is confident the dividend would
be far in excess of the amount now offered
by speculators. In conclusion the Maine
stockholders are advised to wait patiently
for final settlement of the matter and not
sacrifice the larger portion of the dividend
they are likely to receive for the sake of the
trifing sum they are now offered in cash.

Fire at EndeaYOr.

Last Sunday bad fire occurred at
what is called Polandtown, about mile
above Endeavor, and four houses were
totally destroyed. The fire originated in
the house occupied by Herb. Taft, and
spread from there to the houses of John
Taft, E. L. Zuendell and John Whitehill.
The whistle at the Endeavor mill was
blown and all turned out and helped TO
remove the goods from the houses and all
were gotten safely out with the excep-
ton of those in Herb Taft's house where
the fire originated. His loss will be in
the neighborhood Of SlOO. The houses
were old board structures and of very
little value and the loss on them is very
meager. The families who have been
made homeless are being provided for by
friends for the present and it is expected
that the company will Immediately build
a number of new houses.

Two Drowning Accidents.

A very sad drowning accident occurred
in the Allegheny river at Walnut Bend
last Saturday morning when the 3-year-
old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph
Stiller met her death. The mother and
two children had started to drive to Oil
CITY and the father was ferrYing them
across the river when the horse backed
of the boat and the buggy and occupants
we're thrown into the water the horse
falling on top of them. Carlton Klinger,
who ceanced to witness the accident from
his residence near the river, jumped into
skifI aud quickly went to the rescue.
He succeeded by hard work in saving
the woman and the elder girl, but the
younger one and the horse were
drowned.
Another sad death by drowning was
that of Eddy Skelly, the bright young
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph G. Skelly OF
Oil City, which occurred at lockwood
Sunday afternoon, while he and num-
Der of companions were bathing in the
river at that point. The boy was l6 years
of age and was the oldest of a family OF
six children. This should be warning
to our boys to be more careful of each
others welfare while in bathing.
