TURGENEFF ABHORS SPORT
How a Dying Pheasant Influenced His
Whole Career.


Whole Career.
The celebrated Russian novelist, Tur-
geneff, tells most touching incident
from his own life, which awakened in
him sentiments that have colored all
his writings with a deep and tender
feeling.
When Turgeneff was a boy of 10,
his father took him out one day bird
shooting. AS they tramped across the
brown stubble a golden pheasant rose
with low whir from the ground at his
feet, and with the JOY of a sportsman
throbbing his veins he raised his gun
and fired, wild with excitement, when
the creature fell futtering at his side.
Life was ebbing fast, but the instinct
of the mother was stronger than death
itself, and with a feeble f1utter of her
wings the mother bird reached the nest
where her young brood were huddled,
unconscious of danger. Then, with such
look of pleading and reproach that
his heart stood still at the ruin he had
wrought, and never TO his dying day
did he forget the feeling of cruelty and
gull6 LnaI came 10 DlIn III InaC mOM6DG,
the little brown head toppled over, and
only the dead body of the mother shield
ed her nestlings.
Father, father" he cried, "what
have l done;" as he turned his horror
stricken face to his father. But not to
his fathers eye had this little tragedy
been enacted, and he said: "WelI done,
my son. That was we'll done for your
first shot. You will soon be fine sports
man."
"Never, father, never again shall l
destroy any living creature. If that is
sport, will have none of it. Life is
more beautiful to me than death, and
since l cannot give life will not take
it. Atlanta Constitution.

INDIAN MAGIC.
It Is Often Beyond the Power OF the
Wisest to Explain 1t.

"isest To Explain 1t.
One need not go to the realms of
space, or time, or figures to meet with
the incomprehensible. Despite modern
science and ingenuity this word still re-
mains the only applicable epithet for
some of the achievements of Indian con-
jurers. We can smile at the luminous
appearance of the beautiful face before

geniOus mechanical CONFERENCE.-The
shrewd travellers of later date, whose
veracity is beyond dispute, tell of
much more inexplicable things than
these. One of the best known writers
on occultism, Jacolliot, has left an &C
count of certain things he saw during
his official sojourn in India wEfjh, as
they seem TO defy explanation, may
fairly be classed among things incOm-
prehensible. The performer was one
whom he accidentally met and who re-
Quired some persuasion before he would
exhibit feats which, he continually af-
frmed, were the work of other intelli
gences.
On some sticks fixed upright in flow
erpots were placed some leaves from a
tree, with holes in each sufficiently
large to make them fall to the level of
the mold. Standing at a considerable
distance, the fakir made gesture with
his hands. \ slight breeze seemed to
pervade the room, then the leaves Quiv-
cred and gradually worked upward on
the sticks. Jacolliot placed himself be-
tween the flowerpots and the operator,
placed the sticks in the flooring and
adopted every means he could imagine
to frustrate any trickery, but nothing
he did made any difference to the move
ment of the leaves.

the B. & 0. railroad company, is lying
at his house in precarious condition as
the result of an act of some unknown
miscreant.
Early yesterday afternoon he was fir.

passing through this city.
While engaged in his occupation he
was struck on the head with a beer bot
tie which was thrown from one of the
cars by some unknown scoundrel.
As soon as the bottle struck him he
was felled to the floor of the cab, whilst
the bottle broke into a hundred frag-
ments.
The force ofthe blow rendered him un-
conscious and he remained in the condi.
tion for over half hour, but was finally
ressuscitated by DR.. John Palmer.
The bottle made a terrible cash in his
head and after this had been sewed up
and dressed, he was removed to his home
in cab.

been fractured and at the time OF going
to pes, his condition was considered
dangelOUf.

HOW THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED

Nepha Linzey, aged IA years, of No
23O5 West Second street, was struck by
electric car No. Of the Front street line
about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon and
received injuries that resulted in his
death few minutes later.
The accident occurred at Front and
Rodman streets. AS far as can be ascer.
tanned young Linzey was hanging on
the rear of a farmers wagon which was
going east whilst car No. 2. with conduc-
tor George G. Deffenderfer at the motor,
was coming west.
At the intersection OF the streets
named Linzey released his hold OF the
wagon and jumped Immediately in front
OF the car, of whose approach he was un-
aware.
An instant later the car had struck the
unfortunate boy and he was dragged
fully twenty feet before Deffenderfer
could stop.
He was then picked up in a semi-con-
scious condition and although he was cut
about the face and hands and bruised
about the body it was not thought that
he had been seriously injured.
He was then taken to his home by
Howard Griffin and Samuel Gloat and
as soon as he arrived he became uncon-
scious.
A physician was summoned, but be-
fore he arrived the boy had died. An
examination showed that one OF his left
ribs had been fractured and this pene-
trating the lung had caused his death.
Deputy Coroner Chandler was notified
and will hold an inquest some time this
week.
The boys mother is almost crazed
with grief, and for time it was feared
that her reason would give way. She
recovered, however. and now no fears
are entertained that she will lose her
mind.

DELAWARE, TUESDAY, OCTOBER H. 1898

under all the circumstances the cases
could be taken up before October 25th,
tor the reason that he will probably have
to sit in the Court Of Appeals in Phia-
delphia. He agreed that while there
were no politics in this case yet, taking
into consideration the circumstances OF
the case and the attitude of the press to
which no intelligent man can blind him
sell he did not think it would be right
to try the case on the eve of political
campaign.
I'm view of the attitude of the press"
he continued, 81 feel it my duty to say
that do not think it would be right
that this case should be tried only a
week before the election"
The court was not prepared to say how
long after the election, but suggested that
it might be tried in December.
Mr.. Bird the drew attention to the
fact that the Senate will meet on the
first OF December and to try it in Decem-
ber would be to try it while the Senate
was in session. He asked that the time
be fixed not later than the 18th of
November.
Mr.. Vandegrift stated that he would
object to such an early date Judge
Bradford said that the time would de-
pend somewhat upon the convenience of
q judge, who he hoped, would sit with
him in the case.
The defence then wanted to know how
long this panel of jurors would continue
and were informed that it's time would
expire the second Tuesday in January.
1t is understood that the case of Mr..
kenney has precedence over all the
other cases of the First National Bank
of Dover ana that he will be the first OF
the men to face Jury.
