SENATOR BACON'S ACCIDENT.
Chances Are He Will Be in Bed
Several Weeks.

Senator Bacon is still confined to his
home in Washington as the result OF
his accident,
One RIB on his left side was broken
and several others were injured, and
his body was badly bruised. DR.. James
Dudley Morgan, who dressed the SEN
ator's injuries, says that the shock sus'
tanned may confne the senator to his
rooms for several weeks.
The entrance to Senator Bacon's
house is reached by a number OF Wlnd"
Inc iron steps. On the morning OF the
accident a servant scrubbed the steps
with water, which was soon turned to
glaze of ice, making the passage dan
| gerous.
About ten o'clock Senator Bacon
started from his home on his way TO

whom he had an engagement to call

An Iron Gar.

In the memoirs Of a Kev6lutionist,"
by Prince Kropotkin, the author says
that Alexander II himself for all he
was willing to emancipate the serfs,
was q man capable of singular harsh
ness and even brutality. When Kro-
potkin was promoted and was called
with other officers to the side Of the
car, the latter congratulated them
quietly, speaking about military duty
and loyalty. But if any Of you," he
went on, distinctly shouting out every
word, his face suddenly contorted with
anger-"but If any Of you-which God
preserve you from-should under any
circumstances prove dsloyal to the
car, the throne and the fatherland,
take heed of what l say, he will be
treated with all the severity OF the
laws, without the slightest com-mise-
ration"
"His voice failed" says the author.
"His face was peevish, full of that
rage which l saw in my childhood on
the faces Of landlords when they
threatened to skin their serfs under
the rods He violently spurred his
horse and rode out of our circle. Next
morning. the 18th of June, by his or

CLEVER ADVESTlSERS.
Had His Partner Arrested for Selling Goods
Too Cheap,

A clever advertising scheme was en-
ployed by a firm in southern city.
The junior partner Of the firm swore
out warrant for the arrest of the sem
Tor partner on the ground that he was
selling goods below cost and that the
firm was constantly losing money
thereby.
The case came up in court, and the
counsel for the senior partner asked
for a postponement in order to have
more time to prepare his case. The
judge granted the request, bail was
fixed and the senior member released.
AS he left the courtroom the junior
partner arose and exclaimed, "If he is
released, the sacrifice will go onw
The news soon spread, and the firm
did a better business.
When the case was again called, no
plaintiff appeared, and the charge was
dismissed. The firm had succeeded in
their Observation-Disclosures.

HUMAN VICTIMS SACkIr4crn
A Terrible Tragedy the Result of
Religious FanaticiSm.

A special to the New York Journa,
from amsterdam, Holland, says:
There was a terrible tragedy yesterday
at Apeldoorn as result of a religious
fanaticism.
AT Apel1oorn there is peculiar sect,
which decided to offer human sacrifice
to God. The elder in charge of the cor
gregatjon, who suggested the sacrifice,
also selected two young girls as the vic
Tins.
Their parents approved and the girls,
arrayed in costumes of white, were made
ready for the sacrifice.
The elder, who is peasant farmer,
decided, as his frenzy grew, that four
victims, not two, should be offered up
on the altar, but said nothing of who the
other two should be.
A service of praise and prayer preced-
ed the sacrifice. In this the four victim
joined, the two young girls, in fact, lead
Ing the singing.
Suddenly, while the services were
going on, the elder seized his woman
servant, threw her across the altar and
nearly decapitated her with a single
stroke of a sharp knife.
Then he seized the two girls, and they
were slaughtered in the same way.
In the meantime the elders wife had
stood near, praying and crying, uncon>
scious that she, too, had been selected
as victim.
The rest of the congregation gazed
calmly on the butchery.
When the girls were dead the elder
said that yet another victim was de-
manded, and seized his wife. She strug'
gled, but only for moment.
She was slowly dragged backward
across the altar, and the knife did It's
work.
Then the murderer, as part of the
rite, washed his hands in the blood of
his victims, and the congregation dis
persed.
The police have arrested the murderer
and several members of the sect who
witnessed and encouraged the sacrifice.

Tortoise shells as they are unloaded

Just as they were when taken from the
tortoises' backs. 1t Is not until washed
and secured with acids that their ex-

true Of the beautiful seashells which
come here from the shores Of India and
uther tropical lands. There Is almost
as much difference between them In
the rough and when finished as there

collarette, soft black hat, lots of rib
bons and several stick pins. Smith

Contractors Day and Davis started
a number Of men to wor yesterday
on grading First street, but they soon
broke their pillow, which delayed their
work, as they had but one pillow on
hand. They will find this street very
difficult to grade, and especially by
blowing, as for many years it has been
filled in with furnace Stag which has
made a hard foundation. The contrac-
tors will have a larger force at work
to-day.
A number of mill men and laboring
people of this city have expressed
much regret that John R. Sovereign
failed to reach this city and make
the speech which he was advertised to
make. He failed to arrive on account
of railroad connections. So interested
are the workmen that several have
called on State Central Committeeman
W. B. Francis, and asked him to try
and have Mr.. Sovereign visit this city
before the election, as they wished to
hear him. Those who wish to hear
this noted speaker are lot only Dem
ocrats but Republicans as we'll. Mr..
Francis has assured these men that if
possible he will have Mr.. Sovereign
visit this city.
