A BOY KILLED.
Ten.year.old Jimmy Hammond
Crushed by an Elevator.
WASPLAYING "HIDEAND SEEK
And Crawlcd in tho Elevator Shaft at
NiebersaII's Ice House to Hide from
his Companions in the Dusk of
Evening = A Search Disclosed his
SIanslcd and Bruised Body-Dcath
was instantaneous.

A sad fatality occurred in the lower
Eighth ward last night about Z o'clock,
the victim being James. the ten-year-old
son OF Mr.. and Mcs. James a. Ham,
mond. and the little fellows life was
crushed out by an elevator in Louis
Niebergall's Ice house. at the corner OF
Forty-flfth and Eoff streets.
The boy was playing hide and seek"
with some companions, and In hiding
from them he unfortunately chose the
bottom OF the elevator shaft. lie ran
through the ice house door, which was
open on account of rush. the Ice house
being open day and night Just now TO
receive Ice for Mr.. Niebergall, who
conducts butcherlng business. Young
Hammond lay down in the shaft unno-
ticed byanypody, and after the load OF
Ice had been stored above, the engi-
neer let the elevator down.
1t was. several minutes before the
poor little fellows absence caused the
search to be made for him. and his COM
paniors and the men working about the
place were Mortified to discover his
bruised and mangled body under the
elevator. Every spark OF life had been
crushed out. and his head, which came
directly under the elevators edge, was
q frishtfully- mangled mass.
The body YVES tenderlv removed TO the
home OF his parents, IS Forty-seventh
street, and the shock to them was par
ticulnrly hard TO bear. The boy was
thei- only child. Less than n year ago
he recovered from severe malady by
skilled attention and his gallant fight
against the disease: in fact he had re-
gained good health only recently, hence
1t was sad blow to the father and
mother TO have him cut off while In In
nocent play. The accident occurred
just about dusk, a fact partly account
Ing for mis- hiding place not being no.
ticed In time. The deceased BOY was IA
known as Jimmy" Hammond,
and wen liked by old and young. The
sympathy Of the community is extended
10 the bereaved parents.
Coroner Schultze will hold az inquest
over the body, likely to-day.

WHlSKEY VS.. MEDICINE.
Under War Rcvenno Law Only One
Whisky is Taxed as Medicine.

Whiskcy is Taxed as Medicine.
Under. the new Revenue Stamp Law
WHISTLES are exempt from taxation.
but medicines are taxad. It Is nota-
BILE fact In connection with this ruth
that there Is one whiBkey which Is ac-
knowledged by the government to be
a medicinal whiskey. and which IS,
therefore. stamped.
This unusual exception Is made In
the case OF Duffy's f>ure Malt Whiskey,
the government recognizing Its medlci-
nal qualities. which do not belong TO
any other whlskey. 1t Is n complete
confirmation OF what has been known
to the medical profession and scientists
for many years, namely that Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey IS n medicinal whIs-
key. as different from other kinds of
bottled whistles as strong medicinal
waters are different from ordinary wa
tiers; as different from other WHISTLES
as n medicinal preparation can be Diff
ferent from a preparation containing
no medicinal qualities
1: Is gratifying to know that people
who are not SLOW TO take advantage
OF all that Is m,ritorious are using
,Dufy's Pure Malt for medicinal pur-
poses. and that 1t continues to accomp-
llsh wonders.

But the Tenor Of his Remarks Does
not Entirely Suit the Guardians of
the City's Intcrests-A Counter Pro-
position to he Made by City Solicit

Makes Its Estimates.

The council committee on health met
last evening for the purpose OF further
considering the proposition OF the Uni
ted States Fertilizer Company to take
Off the ctty's hands the task of consum-
ing the garbage. At former meeting,
the committee had accepted the COM
pany's proposition, which was that It
would take the garbage for the ensuing
two years at charge OF $1,000 n year,
and no charge after that period. In
exchange for this concession. the city
was to transfer TO the company the
free gas privilege now extended to the
former by the Natural Gas Company OF
West Virginia in the way OF fuel for
the crematory on Wheeling hill.
AT last nights meeting OF the COM
mittee, n letter was received from
President George Heard, of the Natural
Gas Company OF West Virginia. agree

.zer Company free Of charge daily 10000

amount to the city again In the event
that the contract with the fertilizer

stumbling block with the committee.
The trouble was there are so many
points o: view from which to look at
things; for instance. reasonable"

iators might be most unreasonable" in
the eyes OF the natural gas Company. 1t
was stated that az present the city
crematory consumes about 6O,0C0 feet
day, so II Is OBVIOUSLY 20 the interest OF
the gas company to encourage the let
ting OF the garbage consuming contract
to the United States company. for 1t
would mean daily saving OF $4,000 feet
of gas. or 50 a day at eighteen cents a
thousand.
The city solicitor was Instructed to
confer further with President Heard.
and insist that. In the event OF the
City going BACK t. present c:ematory
methods. the city shall tl:ea stand in
the same position with reference to
free gas as 1t stands now-in other
wonls that the Natural Gas Company OF
West Virginia furnish all the gas need
ed to run the crematory.

The biograph is doing good service
to science. A hospital in New York
is adapting q machine to record MI
nutely the actions Of persons In cpl
leptic fits and similar affections. Nov
Ing pictures have been taken showing
the walking movements In persons az
ficted with locomotor ataxia. When
these films are reproduced on the
screen doctors can study the symp-
toms carefully in the laboratory. The
movements of all kinds Of microbes
are also being photographed. as well
q the action of healthy and diseased
corpuscles. When these pictures are
magnifed and thrown on the screen
the Improvement or decline In the
condition OF the patient can be told.
One Of the most interesting uses OF
the biograph is to photograph and
show minutely the growth and flower
ing of plants from the time OF plant
ing until in full bloom. A picture Is
taken every half-hour continually for
about thirty days and nights. In Or
der to secure a uniform light for every
view a powerful electric light Is en-
ployed. Sometimes 1000 pictures will
be made of one subject Should the
subject be a lily the pictures at one
stage will show the opening OF the
lily while at another stage its fading
away Is seen. BY quickening the time
Of the pictures on the screen the plant
IA actually seen to be growing.

! It has been discovered in st. Paul
that electric ground connections, made
by attaching wires to water pipes, not
only ruin tho pipes by electrolysis, but
seriously interfere with the operation
,of the water meters. In one case
meter through which large quantity
OF water was discharged failed to reg
lister. This was an extreme case and
easily detected, but what the effect has
been upon the indicators in cases
where the current Is not 80 strong the
officers OF the water board have no
means to determine. To protect them
selves, however. they have ordered the
removal Of all electric wires from the
water pipes. "
