All Died in Rocking Chairs.

From the st. Paul Dispatch.
Rv the death of Mrs. Rachel Oliver at La
Vale this week there is brought to light a
remarkable series Of events in which the
same manner Of death of almost an entire
family take an important part.
About twenty-five years ago her father,
Cornelius Sainsbury, accidentally cut his
foot while working in the timber, and
when he was taken home he remarked
something about y pain in his side and
soon expired, while seated in rocking
chair The loss Of blood was slight and
his death was attributed to heart failure.
About six weeks after his wife died of the
same disease, and, too. while seated in a
rocking chair. There was but a few days
difference in their ages, each being sixty
years old. When their oldest son, Joseph,
had reached the age Of three score years
he went to Fort Collins. Col. for his
health, and while there contracted slight
fever. One evening while sitting in rock
ing chair to have his bed made, death came
upon him and he expired in a few mo-
ments When their oldest daughter, Mrs
Mary A. Davis, was the same age, she
complained of not feeling well one day and
to the surprise of all the family. was dead
in a few moments, dying while seated in a
rocking chair. She was also sixty years
old.
The death Of Mrs. Oliver, aged sixty,
takes away all but one of the entire fam
lily. Her brother. James Sainsbury, resides
at Reedsburg. Like all of the others, the
death of Mrs. Oliver was unexpected, her
Illness covering but fifteen minutes. She
had been employed in her household duties
and sat down In a rocking chair for few
moments rest, and without word passed
away.
For almost an entire family to pass away
while seated in rocking chairs, of the same
disease, and at about the same age. is a
remarkable series OF events

The disobedience for which Porter was
court martialed occurred Aug. 30, 1862,
during the second battle Of Bull Run.
Porter was ordered to advance with his
troops. He did not do so, and in the fol-

culties are not sufficiently widespread at
present seriously to interfere with the
progress of manufacture and distribution.
Some settlements Of strikes have been

probable at an early date. Meanwhile
prices hold firm, the capacity of produc-

Of r. @. Dun & Co. 1t continues: "A
feeling of confidence in the permanence
of values appears to have settled in all
divisions of the iron and steel manufac-
ture. TO this may be attributed the de-
crease in orders for distant delivery, pur-
chasers merely contracting for their re
quirements for one to two months IN ad-
vance. Tranquility regarding the future
is undoubtedly due to the action OF the
large combination, which has made no
effort to secure exorbitant prices, but

England well-nigh lost her King We'd

vicious squat struck her broadside on,
ripped away her sails, tore out her masts

seemed that she must founder and sink,
SO heavy was the gale, but she righted
herself after each blast and made the
harbor ut Cowes in the tow of other
boats Of the Upton fleet.
King Edward was on deck when the
wind struck the frail little yacht He
was standing amidships when the top
mast and the mainmast fell about him
and the sails swept overheard into the
sea. His escape was miraculous.
Longer than an hour Shamrock was
at the mercy of the wind ana for Just
that long did King Edward hang over the
edge of the world. When the gale was
at it's height and the boat was plunging
through the big seas, he threw himself
PROSTATE on the deck, clinging to the
stump Of the mainmast to save himself
from being swept overheard.
While the yachts were maneuvering
for the start a squat came without the
slightest warning, and the bowsprit of
the challenger was carried away short

mast proved too much for the spar. 1t

in GuardhouSe.
The other morning, just after reveille,
two cadets attending the State industrial
school at Rochester, \. Y, had an alter
cation which resulted in their drawing
knives and engaging in a bitter fight Ar
thur Colby, II years of age, of Canton,
n. Y, came out of the encounter with a
long, irregular knife wound in his side.
The boys have a rule among themselves
never to tell anything that takes place
inside their institution, no matter how
serious the case may be, and the best
that Coroner Killip could get from the
lips of the dying boy was that there was
a friendly scuffie in which he got hurt.
Others who were present at the time did
not see the fight, and it is with the great
est difficulty that anything can be found
out The cadet who used the knife with
such deadly effect is Henry Caraher of
Utica, who is now confined in the guard
house.
