MAMERT1NE PRISON.
A Roman Structure Of Great An.
tiQuity and Historical
interest.

This is celebrated prison which is
an important scene in Sienkiewicz's
story, "Quo Vadis." 1t is located on
the slope of the Capitoline, in Rome:
and, according to tradition, it was be-
gun by ANGUS Martius and later en-.
larged by Servius Tuilius. Jugurtha
is said to have been starved to death
here, the accomplices of Catiline
strangled by command of Cicero, and
Sejanus, the minister and favorite OF
Tiberius, executed. Church tradition
has consecrated this prison as the
place where St. Peter and St. Paul were
confined by order of Nero. Historian
Hillard says of it: "The Mamertine
prison is hideous vault divided into
an upper and lower portion, scooped
out of the solid rock and lined with
massive blocks in the Etruscan style
of architecture. "A more heart-break.
ing place of confinement it is not easy
to imagine. According to the tradi.
tions of the church, St. Peter was i'm
prisoned here by order of Nero; and
the pillar to which he was bound and 4
fountain which sprang up miraculous
~ to furnish the water of baptism to
his jailers, whom he converted, are
shown to the visitor. There is no rea-
son to doubt that Jugurtha was starved
to death in these pitiless vaults. Here,
too, the companions of Catiline were
strangled. 1t is a curious fact that the
chances of literature and history
should have carved two such names as
those of Sallust and Cicero on these
CyclOpean walls"

A PECULIAR ACCIDENT.
1t Results in Injuries to q Number
of Passengers ON q Toledo
81 e. Street Car.

Toledo, O., July 3O.-Ten people
were injured in a street car accident
late Sunday night, one fatally and
two others very seriously. Three of
them were slightly hurt and their
names were not learned. The names
of the injured people, so far as
learned, are as follows:
Mrs. OFT. face, nose and neck terribly
burned. may be fatal: Miss OFT, feet, hands,
hair and face burned, very serious; Miss
Ida Hartzell, face burned, neck injured
and arms burned, very serious; Miss Liz

falling from car; Miss Sophia kaufman,
chin badly burned and arms bruised; Miss
Abbie Rueps, face scra tched, arm sprained
slightly burned and limbs bruised; Miss
Mary Cousin, head slightly burned, head,
face and arms bruised and burned; James
Myers. Elm street. burned about face and
hands,. r.t
The. accident was q peculiar one.
One of the long belt cars had just
reached Twenty-second street when
a: binding flash of electricity, fol-
lowed by cloud of smoke and cries
of injured passengers as they were
tumbled into, the street, attracted the
attention of belated passers-by. The
injuries are of such character that
they are in every instance extremely
painful. The car was provided with
the usual two-light circuits, but the
! crew are of the opinion that during
Saturdays storm lightning struck the
short circuit and cut it out. This
left but one circuit unprotected with
the connecting wires subject to cut
out or an overcharge of electricity.
Just how the explosion occurred is
not known, but the circuit fuse blew
out with a crash, the car was in
stantly filled with the lurid flashes of
/ the electric fluid, and cries of pain
and establishment were followed by
men and women falling over each
i other out of the car.
