REVOLUTIONARY PRISON.
Historic Mansion in Philadelphia
That Held State Prisoners
In 1875,

Few of the many visitors to Fair.
mount park are fully aware of the
important part that several of the old
mansions played in our city's history,
Among those have played q con-
spicuous part in the historic life Of
Revolutionary times is the group
standing in the East park and known
as Mount Pleasant, "rhe Dairy" and
Rockland Mansion. The latter place
was formerly attached to Mount Pleas
ant, but passed into the possession OF
John Lawrence in 1856, who was then
councilman and mayor Of Phila-
delphia.
1t was in one of the rooms of this
mansion that General Washington
and his wife were guests of Mr.. and
Mrs. Lawrence on May 30, 1860
The house has more of historic
prominence, however, by reason OF
the part it played in later years. Dur
ing the Revolutionary time part of the
premises was turned into a prison
for those who were the states cap
tives. Many prisoners were. confined
In the cellar dungeons, among them
prominent men who were in those
stirring times guilty of misdemeanor
or treason. just who these were
there is but little writing left to tell,
as much of the early history Of Rock.
land has been lost.
The ground on which the mansion
stands was originally part of great
tract belonging to Edward MifHin and
sold in 1856 toCouncilman and Mayor
John Lawrence. II is evident from
the history, recorded of the place
that Councilman Lawrence was q
convival fellow and was ever giving
dinners and parties, AT the many
inns and hosteries his name has been
found recorded and long accounts
standing against him.
In 1865 the property was sold to
Captain John MACPHERSON, who how
ever, never crossed the Threshold of
the mansion. In 1910 it was bought
by George Thomson, a merchant in
the city, and in 1916 the property
was sold to Isaac G. Jones, who lived
there with his family until the estate
was taken for park purposes.-Phila-

The Mind Cannot Grasp IT,

Il is said that there are 100000, 900
bushels of corn in Kansas this season.
This number is beyond the grasp OF
any mind.
In order that it may be compre-
hended we will reduce the number OF
bushels to carloads Of 400 bushels to
each car
TO move this crop would take 22,bO0
trains of cars, giving 40 ears to the
train. We're each car 40 feet long,
each train would equal 1000 feet In
length without locomotive and ca
boose, then multiplying the 22,5O0
trains by 1,6O0 feet the length OF each
train, we have 36O,OOO,OOO feet. Dlvid.
ing that number by the number OF
feet per mile to-wlt, $3.50, 1t makes
6,818 miles, twice the distance from
New York TO London. Viewing this
one crop alone of one state, who can
now make sport Of the wild and
wooley West. When you take into
consideration the states OF Illinois,
Iowa, Nebraska, Missouri and the ter
ritory OF Oklahoma, we are still more
appalled, at the corn crop for 1899. II

All night sleep was taken from our
eyes. We were taken into Gods
sanctuary and shown the cruel plot
for Wednesday night and warned of
God to take down the tent before
night, We conferred not with flesh
and blood but obeyed divine direction
and committed the mob to God.
Wednesday evening quite a mum.
Der Of the mob gathered in to see
more fun, as they called it. They
were surprised to find the tent taken
down and services in the house but
most Of the crowd came in and listen
ed attentively while we told Of our
definite leadings about the tent. j..

them unless they repent but kind

meeting that we were counted worthy
to suffer persecution for Jesus sake.
No pole climbing or hypnotizing was
done as reported in the Democrat but
rejoicing and praising God such as
David speaks Of in Psalm l49 and as
the Disciples enjoyed at Pentecost.
We are in perllous times, the true

A BAD ACCIDENT.
A Farmer From Wyanette Was Seriously
Injured in Runaway.

A Farmer From Wyanette Was Seriously
Injured in a Runaway.
Nels King, an old resident of WJan-
cite, started for Princeton Tuesday
morning with load of potatoes.
About mile from town he stopped to
water his team at little pond by the
roadside, going out on the wagon
tongue to uncheck the horses. While
in this position the team started to run
and although he chung to them for
some distance be was finally thrown to
the ground and the wagon passed over
him. A team following was soon on
the scene and the injured man was
brought to the village and taken to
DR.. Armitage's Office.
On examination it was found that
King had suffered a fracture of three
ribs on one side and two on the other
with bad flesh wound on his left arm
and an ugly cut in his scalp. He was
resting easily yesterday but the
doctor did not consider him out of dan
ger. He had some fears that pneu-
monia might set in and pneumonia
from conclusion is much more serious
than plain pneumonia. Mr.. Kings
age is against his rapid recovery as he
is 81, but the doctor hopes no compli-
cations will set in.

Settled the Case.

General Claim Agent Yale of the
Great Northern, who was in town
Thursday returned to- St. Paul on an
early train Friday morning. It is un-
derstood that the suit against the rail-
road company brought by Robert King
for damages sustained in fall from a
water tank at Milaca has been settled
by Mr. Yale with Attorney Brewer for
the plaintiff and the case will not be
tried at this term of court. It is re-
ported that the settlement gives Mr..
King ample compensation for all his
expenditures because of the accident
and something in excess of $4,000 be-
sides. His friends will hope and trust
that his injuries are not of perma-
nent nature and that he may in time
resume his employment with the com
pany.-St. Cloud Journal Press.
