SQUEEZED HER
HANDS VIOLENTLY

Philadelphia, March 30.-Miss Edith
Boone of this city has begun a suit for
SIS 600 damages against Frederick r.
Farrow, a young drug clerk, for squeez-
ing her hands so violently that the small
bones in one of them was broken and
both hands were rendered practically
useless. Her doctor says necrosis may
necessitate the amputation of one hand.
The squeezing was done year ago,
when Farrow had a situation in the
store under where Miss Boone's family
lived, and where he took his meals OF
the singular case the fair plaintiff said:
Just after dinner March 49, 1898, Fred
seized both of my hands and jokingly
began to squeeze them. 1t hurt terribly
and l asked him to let go, but he would
not. He pressed my hands very hard
for five minutes. / cried and begged him
to stop A few hours afterward my
right wrist swelled awfully and turned
purple. l was treated at the polytechnic
hospital but both of my hands are use
less, as you see. They are getting worse
too"
II was only in fun" said Farrow in
explanation. MY case is in the hands
of a lawyer"

SHE is A MYSTERY
OF THE DEEP

New York, March 3O-The Times saws:
The Scipio, a craft of nowhere, bound to
nowhere, flying 10 flag, owneress and
crewless, is to be sold to the highest bid
der at the Brooklyn navy yard by the
United States government. A board has
been appointed to examine the ship
which lies at the yard. The board will
determine as to how to dispose of her.
The board will perform a similar duty
with respect to the steamer Niagara
which is also at the Brooklyn navy yard
This was bought by the government
from the Ward line during the Spanish
war.
At the outbreak of hostilities agents
of this government We're engaged in buy
ing ships and war munitions in England
The beginning of actual warfare found
some of the deals incomplete ENGLAND
being neutral power, these incompleted
deals could not be pushed through--that
is to say, apparently not. Soon after the
beginning of hostlities a steamship in
perfect trim from stem to stern with
furnace fires burning, with steam up but
without soul on board was
found adrft off the coast of Newfound-
land, found by a United States ship, too
oddly enough. The crewless ship was
the Scipio. She flew no flag and there
was not so much as a scrap of paper to
be found aboard her to indicate where
she sailed from, where she was sailing
to, or who owned her. She was a mys-
terry of the deep.
The Scipio carried a cargo of coal but
never did such strange things come out
of cargo of coal as came from the
depths of the anthracite piled in the
hold. There We're guns, fine modern af
fairs of English make, Maxims, Hotch-
kiss cannon, field pieces and other ord
nance together with ammunition Just
how the Scipio came to be found adrift
with such an Opportune cargo by
United States ship has never been told
officially. The Scipio has been at the
Brooklyn navy yard since she was pick
ed up adrift on the high seas.
