BELIEVE GIRL is
POSSESSED OF devil
Brothers Say She FIOated in
the Air at Night.

Charlottetown, P. E. l., Jan. 81
The French farmers of New Zealand,
a small settlement at the eastern end
of Prince Edward Island, have been
thrown into a state Of intense excite
ment and nervousness by a series of
supernatural phenomena surrounding
a young woman named Chinene. The
ignorant farmers believe the girl is
possessed of q devil,
The Chinene girl is about twenty
years old. Since the death of her par
ents she has been keeping house for
her brothers, small farmers of New
Zealand. Several months ago the old
est brother informed his sister that
he intended to marry a young woman
in the neighborhood. Miss Chinene, on
hearing the announcement, burst into
a fit of rare and declared that '"she
would as soon have a devil in the fam
lily as a girl"
That night the household was arous-
ed by loud cries, which seemed to
come from all parts of the house Then
the voice of the girl, shrieking in ag-
ony. was heard from her room. The
brother fearing his sister was being
murdered, rushed to the girls room,
followed by other members of the fam
lily. When they opened the door, they
declare, they saw the young woman
floating in the air, several feet above
her bed. She was talking incoherently
and in language much different from
that used by her in ordinary conversa-
tiOn. The girl finally sank back on her
bed and fell into natural sleep. When
she awoke next morning she knew
nothing of the occurrence. Night after
night the same performance was re-
peated.
News Of the happenings soon leaked
out among the farmers, and these sim
pie people came to believe that the
girl, by her sacrileglous remark con-
cerning her prospective sister-in-law.
had given herself over to the "evil
one"
The local doctors were called in to
treat the girl. but could do nothing.
Next the parish priests assistance was
sought. but earnest prayers seemed to
be unavailing. Meanwhile, the excite.
ment in the neighborhood became SO
intense that Father Walker issued a
notice to his parishioners forbidding
any further visits to the home of the
young woman.

SOAKED IN OIL AND BURNED
Woman Bound Neck and Feet Found
Dead on Gas Stove.


Cincinnati, o., Jan. 31-Her clothes
saturated with oil, pieces of a lace
curtain tied tightly about her neck
another piece binding her feet, tho
dead and scorched body Of Mrs Alict
Van Zandt was found lying across a
gas stove in the kitchen of her home.
Every indication points to murder, the
police say.
Jesse Van Zandt, the womans hus-
band, is being held by the police pend
ing an investigation of the death of his
wife. He refuses to talk.
The crime was discovered when 8
neighbor smelled smoke and summon
ed the fire department. The body was
burned almost to a crisp, only rem.
nants of the clothing still sticking
to 1t.
Mrs. Van Zandt's children were at
play in adjoining rooms while the
tragedy was taking place in the kitch-
en-. Because no outcry was heard the
police believe that the woman was
taken unawares and choked into un-
consciousness.
Mrs. Van Zandt's head was lying in
the flame of the gas burner in such a
position that the least struggle on her
part must have moved her face away
from the blaze. Her hair had all been
burned off, a portion of it being found
lying on the floor.

Soldiers Kill chouls.

Outside of Paris many deplorable
instances of looting have been report
ed A band of thieves has been at
work in the vicinity of Charenton. but
the soldiers have been shooting them
at sight The Zouaves killed two of
the Lillagers at Ivry and two at Brie.
The ghouls have now transferred their
nefarieus operations to the devastated
regions below Paris, many attempts
to pillage deserted villas and homes
being reported.
The papers recount many deeds of
heroism of priests at Alfortville, who
continued the work of rescue between
midnight and daylight. when the SOL
diers. jackies and firemen. after sew.
eral days without rest. had become ev-
hausted. Sisters of Charity rowed t"
houses, giving assistance in several
cases of starvation.
Besides the aid distributed directly
by the government and the municipal.
ity. more than $25000O from the fund
raised by the newspapers has been
handed over to the various relief so
cieties and the local authorities of the
various towns and villages. near Paris.
The press refers gratefully to the
spontaneous help coming from abroad
and makes particular mention of the
evidences of sympathy in the United
States.
A pitiable feature of the food in
Gennevilliers is the plight of the col
ony of 5000 rag pickers. the fourth oi
whom are children. They are the poo-
est of all the Paris poor, and early
each morning they cross the Seine tc
sort the refuse barrels OF the great
city. Their village was a cluster ot
miserable novels of plaster and earth
fianked with heaps of bones, rags. iror
and odds and ends.
On the bursting of the dam the tor
rents of the Seine swept away every
thing. Those of the rag pickers VIII,
remained in the village snatched Vi
their children and fed for their lives
most of them scantily clad. They sui
fered bitterly from the cold, but afte

ing InleNcS.
Paris, Jan. 31.-The Seine is falling
The waters began to recede Sunday
morning and in twenty-four hours had
fallen over sixteen inches.
In the meantime the situation in
Paris and in many places throughout
the country shows little improvement
Indeed, the ravages of the food with
in the city seemed actually to increase.
The water was higher in some of the
streets, while the situation at the in
undated towns between, Paris and St.
Germain was distinctly graver.
Streams of water, twelve feet deep,
were rushing through Gennevilliers
and Colombes, making work of rescue
and succor difficult. Several houses
collapsed and many persons were
taken off the roofs of their homes,
where they had been clinging for
days.
: Hundreds are reported without food
or shelter, and all day an army of
troops and civilians worked relentless
ly in the flooded territory, bringing
suecor to the distressed an distribute
ing provisions by boats to the thou
sands of victims surrounded by water,
who refused to quit their homes.
Within the city itself great throngs
of sightseers, in the bright sunshine,
besieged the cordons of troops which
fringed the flooded districts, or climb
ed to points of vantage from which
they could survey the wide vistas of
water strentching off in every direc-
tion.
On account of the danger of cave
fms from the pressure of the boiling
waters beneath, hundreds of points
were vigorously guarded. Pumping
engines, belching forth smoke and
sparks, added to the thrill and gave
an impression that a universal confia-
grafton was raging. Sunday night the
city was plunged in darkness, relieved
only by the camp fires of the soldiers
at the waters edge, or the fiickering
torch of some floating sentinel, reflect
ed wierdly in the water covered areas
that once we're streets or avenues.
Although there is no intention on
the part of the government to declare
martial law. the completely submerged
districts, such as Javel, are in the
hands of the military, in order to pre-
vent pillaging. The soldiers have or
ders to give short shrift to criminals
caught in the act of looting. Thus far
there have been no such cases within
the city.
