INJURED BY CHANGING
CHARGE FROM GUN.

The three little children of J. Rose of
No. 1877 Placer street were shot by some
unknown scamp at No. 1911 South Mon

Arthur Buckman's house when a charge
of No. 8 shot fired from a shotgun struck
the ground in front of them and glanced
upward. Some of the shot struck Jessie's
left arm n lacerated the flesh. Gravel
and IA knocked loose by the charge
also struck her in the face. None OF the
shot struck the other children, but what
the load failed to do sand and gravel &C
cOmplished, for both caught more or less
of the flying stuff about the face. Mr..
Buchanan notified Detective Murphy and
the latter began a search, for the mis-
creant. He called upon a Swedish Wom-
an who lives near the Buchanan house

given in case the services of the coroner
were called into requisition.
Two Boys were seen running away
from the scene of the shooting, but no one
seemed to pay much attention to them.
Mr.. Murphy rounded w two lads named
miles out on the flat, but they denied
having fired the shot that did the dam
age. They had a gun n were amusing
themselves killing birds. The officer sent
them to their homes in Iowa street.
Although painful, the injuries sustain
ed by the children are not dangerous. DR..
Wells dressed their wounds. A No. 8
shot was taken from one of Jessie's
cheeks.

UNIQUE CHURCH BUILDING.
Proposed Plans for a Sacred Edihce
to BE Erected Among Tall Build
ings of New York City.

Unique is the word that best de-
scribes the proposed new Church of
the Archangel, St. Nicholas avenue
and One Hundred and Fourteenth
street, New York city. In the first
place the site is between two high
buildings and an ordinary church struc-
ture would be dwarfed. Hence there
is to be built, not church, but a build
ing similar to those on either side,
save that it will have an ecclesiastical
porch. The principal feature of the
basement will be neighborhood hall,
well lighted and ventilated.
The main building above the base
ment will be much more than the rec
tory, for thatwill occupy only the Sec
|ond floor. Other rooms will be the
usual ones Of parish house. There
will, among Others, be quarters for the
parish: curate, and also for at least two
Columbia college students, who will be
lodged In return for social work among
cadets and other male organizations OF
the parish. The church will be Joined
directly to the rear Of the main build
ing and will be one story in height. Not
quite two years ago the Archangel
parish was pennifess and hardly a score
OF members admitted their member
ship.

DEATHS BY ELECTRICITY.
An Autopsy Which Shows That Light
ming and Electric Chair Produce
Different Results.

DR.. O'Hamlon, Of the New York cor
oner's Office, held an autopsy on the
body of William Frazer, 80 years old,
who was killed by lightning at Ellis
Island. It has been the acknowledged
idea among the medical profession
that execution by electricity and death
by lightning are the same form of
death. DR.. O'Hanlon showed by the
autopsy that this is not the case. In
an execution large clots form on the
surface of the lungs and the pericardi-
UNI, and every pontion of the nervous
system is made pliable-. The body of
Frazer was found to be hardened no
ticeably and there were no clots of
blood on the lungs or pericardium.
DR.. O'Hanlon said that Frazer had
been hit on the top Of the head by the
lightning, and that it had passed down
his right side. The shock to the ne1v-
GUS system was so intense that he
thought there was spasmodic con-
traction which lasted for several min
utes. The man lived apparently for
two or three minutes.
Over the heart and on the right side
were found two burns about the size
of the dollar. These were ascribed to
the suspenders which Frazer wore. It
is thought that the metal buckles act
ed as conductors and thus caused the
burns

Ten years ago, according to their
testimony, mariner of the name of
Kerbec. who had always been a firm
believer in the transmigration Of the
human soul to'the body of an inferior
being, told bis wife that after he died
he would return to her in tho Disguise

Three days ago Widow Kerbec, her
three grown children, and three neigh

ter, were spending the evening togeth-
er at the house, chatting pleasantly,
when suddenly the dog rose on his
hind legs and spoke distinctly in a
faraway, unnatural voice, these words:
"Ad1eu, wife and children: adieu,
Friends"
Then the dog fell over stone dead.

FISH IN BOYS THROAT.
Lad Went Fishing in Family A0ua.
RUM and Nearly Lost
His Life.

A small boy with a tiny fish alive in
his throat, threatening every moment
to choke him, was what Mrs o. W.
Hubbard, of Riverside L. l., found
when she entered the sitting-room of
her house to see what noise Of fall
ing meant The boy, aged three. was
hers, and the fish was out of an
aquarium that the boy had never tried
to fish in before The boy was suf-
fer1ng eNcruciating pain, and his pa
rents were frantic with terror and
grief.
Mr.. Hubbard opened the child's
mouth and could see the tail of a
fish wriggling far down the boys
throat. Nearly two hours were spent
in trying various means to withdraw
the fish. All failed. Finally the boy
was placed under the influence of
chloroform and the fish was moved far
enough to one side OF his throat to az
low him to breathe. The boy will re-
cover.

EXPLORER ON ALASKA LINE.
n. NJ. White Declares Yukon Valley,
Including Klondike, Should
BE Ours.

Richard Mansfield White, an explorer
and mine owner, from New York, in N
interview at Shaguay, maintains that
the stated boundary line, ten leagues
from the sea, is crossed by numerous
streams, and therefore cannot be the
boundary which it is sought to locate.
Il find,' he says, that line between
Alaska and Canada at distance of ten
marine leagues from the winding of
the coast is crossed by more than 10
rivers OF streams, emptying into the
Pacific ocean between Portland canal
and the one hundred and forty-frst me-
ridian, and that from that fact alone
there cannot be a summit or divide of
drainage nearer than the said ten ma
rine leagues, and therefore the conten-
ton. of the British that the boundary
should approach nearer to the coast
than the said ten marine leagues is not
tenable- Also the SUBMITS of White
pass and Chilkat pass cannot be taken
as the summit of the range of noun
tains which extend in dtrectdonparal-
lei to the coast from the ffty-sixth de-
gree of north latitude to the point of
intersection of the one hundred and
forty-frst degree of west longitude, for
these SUBMITS are continuous for that
length, but are only the SUBMITS of
passes between mountains, locally, and
not the summit of such an extensive
range of mountains as the treaty con-
templates
Following this contention, the ex-
plorer maintain that the whole Of the
Yukon valley, including the Klondike,
should be a part of Alaska proper and
the domain of the United States.

DFPEW's ADVENTURE.
story Told In Paris OF How His Well-
Meant Efforts to Restore Lost
Property Miscarrted.

United States Senator Chauncey M.
Depew got into trouble in Paris in per-
forming an act OF kindly ga4lantry.
Most to blame for the distressing oc-
currence was the sena tors imperfect
French. This is the story told:
Having found purse on the floor
Of hotel near an armchair where
he had seen pretty girl seated short
time before, the senator deposited the
purse with the hotel clerk. An hour
later, being on the street near the ho-
tel, the senator recognized by the light
of street lamp the same girl hurryim9
home from her call. i
DESTROYS Of saving her anxiety when
she discovered her loss, the senator
walked briskly after her, and when he
had reached her side addressed her in
his politest French.
The girl, not understanding, shrieked
for help.
The senator tried to pacify her, and,
as she persisted in her failure to com
prehend and in crying for assistance,
grew vehement and scared her all the
more.
Finally the girl ran to a policeman
and appealed for protection. It was
only after long wrangle that the po-
hceman would admit the possible truth
of Senator Depew's laborious explaua-
ton
