ABKAVIAVT,' aVa Express Train Saved from DessrneHos) b a Woman's Tbougbtfnlness. Mrs. Emily Branson, of North Wakefield, N. H., saved tho Boston fc Maine express train from a serious disaster- A terrifio storm of wind aud rain was raging, but the heavy train was running at high speed in an endeavor to make up lost time. Hardly had tho North Wakefield station been left behind whon the engineer saw a woman upon the track just ahead of him frantically waving a white cloth. The train was stopped, with tho cowcatcher almost in front of the woman. "The track around the curve Is all covered with trees," she said. "I came toward you to warn yon."

London special: An accident occurred at Atherstone, Warwickshire, injuring a great many people but providentially killing none. An immense grand stand had been erected from which to view the military tournament in progress at that place, and at tho time of tho accident it was occupied by -15,000 people, while 10,000 more were closely packed on either side. Suddenly a crash was heard and a section of the stand fell, carrying with It over a thousand spectators. It was fortunate that the fall was not very great, as many people might have been killed, but as it was a large- number of them were Ihiurcd. some of them seriously.

Chicago special: There was quite a sensation enacted In front of tho Palmer House by the attack of two women, who used horse whips in a most skilled . manner upon tho alleged Count Le Archevilie Le Verdaille. The pedestrians were startled by hearing the words: "Take that, and that," and a moment later there was a sound .of stinging blows, and the sudden disappearance of the alleged count around the corner. At his heels were the two women, who rained showers of blows upon the big man's head, neck, and back. Through stores, through alleys, across streets his coat tails beating, a wild tattoo around his shoulders, his mustache distended, his eves lichted un by. a baleful tire, flew the largo man. Hundreds of 'men and boys chased after him, and a sign oi regret went no from the crowd when his coat tails disappeared like magic through a rear door jn the Palmer House.

The priest ran out ot the back door with Young In pursuit. He was overtaken by his assailant, .knocked down, pounded on the face and his nose smashed. By this time a crowd had congregated. Some one shouted "Hang the brute." A rupo was placed around the neck of the tramp, and but for the timely arrival of policemen ho would have been dangling in the air from a large tree near by. A TerrlBo Tornado, Hammond (Ind.) special: The damago in the town by tlie late storm, was great. Huge trees were torn up and carried away, fences swept out of existence, orchards obliterated aud everything in the path of the tempest dostroyod. The rotary velocity of the wlud was terrific and It progressed forward at a rate of sixty miles an hour.

New York special: Jeremiah O' Don ovan Bossa, the once ferocious advocate of dynamite and physical force, whose very name has been for years a terror to the British people, has become a traveling salesman. He admits that since the present hot spell came in there has been a decided slump In the dynamite business and he has given such unmistakable evidence of his desire to turn from thoughts of blood and war to the pursuits of peace, that Francis B. Thurber has taken pity upon Jerry and given him a birth in his big establishment down in West Broadway. Rossa is now engaged and has been for tho last two weeks In a strictly legitimate business enterprise, that of selling cigars and other specialties dealt In by Thurbor's firm to his friends and acquaintances upon the usual commission basis, as Mr. Thurber says.

P. McCano has taken com maud of the newly South Atlantic squadron, and becomes Bear Admiral by tho appointment of Secretary Tracy-by hoisting his flag on the old sloop-of-wa'r Pcnsacola. Tho ceremonies wore entirely official. The officers and crew were assembled on the quarter deck in full dress uniform; the new commandant read his orders of ap pointment and then his broad pennant was hoisted at mizzen and saluted with thirteen guns and two long ruffles of tho drum.

Watchman Wendell Biol, hearing the noise started to learn tho trouble, when he was met at tho head of the stairs as he wasxomlng from- the bottling rooms. He was assaulted with a wagon spoke in the hands of a largo man. Tho first blow nqt: being sufficient to fell him, he was repeatedly struck over the head, receiving no less than nine terrible wounds, one a gash seven inches long across the side of 4he head and faco, which fractured his skull. Both injured men are in a critical condition. The burglars have, u.et;bcen found. Kentucky Rattle. . A desperate fight, occurred at Burnside, Ky., in which pistols were freely used. Police Judge Smith, and John Chostnuf, and Town Marshal' Coomor were seriously injured. The Chestnuts had become1 intoxicated and were trying to take the ' town, whon the Marshal attempted to arrest them. He warned them not to come near, as thoy were armod to the teeth. The Marshal secured the judge's assistance. They then drew their revolvers and fired. The Chestnut men at the same time discharged their weapons, the result being that all the principals were more or loss wounded. Excitement is at fever heat, and further trouble is feared, as friends of the Chestnuts swear that they will make things warm for the Marshal. . Stttptoto-e Case. . . "Springfield (Ohio) special: The -city is -excited over a possiblo case of murder by poisoning, a case savoring strongly of foul play. Christian "Fran tz, .a highlyrespected citizen of Clark County, died. During his illness his wife protested most vehemently ts calling a doctor, and would-give the sick 'man no care-at all. Dr. Lisle will soon complete the autopsy. The stomach Is yet under the action of chemicals. Traces of arsenic have been developed, but Dr. Lisle says they may have been due to the embalming fluid. It is stated that on several occasions tho unnatural sons have made tho venerable ' patriarch march np and down a floor at the point, of a gun just for amusement, and that he was often deprived of his meals. Fire Among OIL, A disastrous fire broke out on tho Watt farm, two miles south of Lima, Ohio. The farm is owned by the Buckeye (Standard) Pipe Line Company, and is filled with 35,000 barrel oil tanks. Tho farm js surrounded by a field of hay, which the hot weather has cooked dry, and It took fire from a spark from a nassing engine. Tho fire spread rapidly ti'iiu threatened the destruction of the.! tanks, anu the company called out iou men to light tho Qames, which consumed everything in the Md and got among tl.e iron tanks and Uneatened serious trouble, but after many Tours fighting the flames were subdued, he loss is ahnnfc SS Odd and Is tnt.l.vu'jr damage to -the tanks: "Batted" the OfSee. The proprietors of tho Evening Herald, Nashville, Tenn., notified their force of union composititors that their services wore no longer required, and have put on a complete force of "rata." The Evening Herald was started Jan. 1, 1889, by Col. D. Cooper, who had an understanding with the printers that one-third of their wages was to be paid in stock of the paper, which tho printers accepted. Some time ago the Herald asked permission from the Nashville Typographical Union to use plates, whicb-was refused, and they locked tholr doors on the men. The Typographical Union will immediately begin a vigorous boycott. . Poisoned am BnMra Family. The attempt of a colored preacher named W. H. Boone, in Gordon County, Georgia, to poison a family of ton persons, three of whom he succeeded in killing, has created intense excitement, and the prisoner and his wife are carefully guarded In the jati. Boone put rat poison in tho food of a colored family named Lalley. Boone puts the crime on his wife, saying she was jealous of Mrs. Lalloy's affection tor him. The wifo accuses her husband, saying he sought to obtain 'possession of Lalley's crop. Tho other victims are not yet out of danger. Crop Ruined In Central Kansas. It is admitted at last by all that the corn crop of Central Kansas is ruined. No matter how much rain falls, hot winds have blown for so long that stalks are shriveled. Only local rains have fallen for over a month, and the prairies are so dry that fires break out daily. Tho hay crop is an entire failure as well as the fruit crop. A large acreago of wheat will be put in if it rains enough to plow. Stock Is being rushed to market In fear of lack of food. The drought is considered tho most 'severe' in twelve years, and there is.no sign of its being broken.' ' " Costly Incendiary Blase, Fire was discovered in Bohen & Wildner's furniture factory at 420 aud 423 Maxwell street, Chicago, Tho flames spread so rapidly that the entire property was destroyed, involving a loss of ?5,000. The firm carried no insurance and their loss is complete. It is not definitely known whether the fire started in the factory or the barn adjoining, .which was also destroyed, but Mr. Bohen is firmly convinced that a recently discharged employe is responsible for it. Two fine horses were roasted, to death in their stalls. Absenteeism to be Punished. A Washington paper says Major Holmes, Sorgcant-at-arms of tho House, said that he had not yet received orders to dock absent members of their pay, but admitted that thoro is a greatprobabllity that such a course may be taken if certain members notorious for their absenteeism persist in absenting thornselves without leave, although protecting their vote by private pairs. This dockage will be tho last resort to compel attendance and secure and hold a quorum. It has not been enforced tor many years. Land Bight ot Aliens. The old principle that au alien cannot acquii-" public lands under any of the land laws was asserted by Secretary Noble in a decision rendered in tho appeal case brought by Henry Booth aud James P. Bobson, who had located homestead and pre-emptive entries' in lands within the grant of the Central Pacific Ballroad Company in tho Salt Lake City land district, Utah. The Secretary denied the appeal, holding that tho settlement and rcHldouce of an alien upon tho lauds does not except tho same from tho grant. A Big Strike in Frospoet. Pittsburgh special:- Two strikes, involving over ten thousand men, are threatened within the next two wooks. Next week about four hundred plasterurs will go out on a strike for the control of the apprentices.

: : u .j.u m$ MUBD&rtgJif? WBfo WILL MAKE HISTORY. Dr. Spltska, the Eminent Medical Expert, Beelares that Electrocution Is ., Fall, are Though the Murderer's Flesh Was Baraad Doctor Agree that "Ho SuiferooT Mo Fain Seenes Preceding tho Fatal Hour. - - At Auburn, N. Y., With the rising of the son on Aug. ft, WttHani Kemmler passed Into history as the Ifffe. man executed by electricity. The prisoner was awakened at five o'clock by the death watch, McNaqghton. Be appeared cool and dressed himself carefully. At o'clock he ate a light breakfast of eggs, beefsteak, potatoes, and' coffee. At t:15 Warden. Duraton appeared and read tho death warrant. TJp to 6:35 Kemmler was alono with his spiritual advisers. Thru the Warden "rapped at the cell door, ami Kemmler, preceded by Dr. llonghton, bin religious adviser, passed tu tb execution room, . . l "Air-execution is always a ghastly sight. A lynching bee has about It an attendant excitement born of hurried, boisterous action! which lends an artificial strength to the noxves oxaiartlclpant aud on-lookers alike. But the slow solemnity of a duTOr execu tion tho quiet, formal preparations for a judicial killing are depressing enough to weaken the nerves and undermine the courage of the bravest. So, while Warden Dursion' Anild have found a hundred willing substitutos for any one of tbe twenty-seven witnesses which the law had compelled him to call in, it is Sate to say that no one of the twenty-seven found any pleasure in the spectacle. The effort to surround the affair with a halo of mystery, snch as the law contemplated, was not altogether successful. The outer world did not know the exact hour which had been fixed for the event, but it knew the time approximately, and the little assemblage of loiterers at the gate of the prison before dawn that morning was good evidence that the interest in the event was keen and general. Bosldes these curlostty-seekers, an active, anxious corps of newspaper reporters gathered in the broad road In front of tho prison grounds and waited for the signal that should tell them that tbe execution was over. At 0 : 38 the door at the right of the execution chair leading toward the executionroom opened, and Warden Durston's figure appeared in the doorway. Behind him walked a spruce-looking, broad-shouldered little man, full bearded, with carefully arranged hair clustering around his forehead. Ho was dressed in a suit of now clothing, a sack coat and vest of dark material, tro'isers ot mixed yellow pattern, a white shirt whose-polished front was exposed directly below a little bow of lawn of a black and white check pattern. This was William Kemmler, tho man who was about to undergo the sentence of death. Behind him walked Dr. W. F. Houghton and Obsjilaln Yates. Kemmler was by far the coolest man la the party. He did not look around the room with any special degree of InterestHe hesitated as tbe door was closed behind him and carefully locked by an attendant on the other aide, as though he did not know exactly what to 'do. "Give me a chair, will you?'.' said the Warden. Some ono quickly handed him a wooden chair, which he placed in front and a little to the right of the execution chair, facing the little circle ot men. Kemmler sat down composedly, looked about him, and then up and down, without any evidence of fear or of especial interest in the event. His face .was not stolid; it was not indifferent. Ho looked, If anything, as though he was rather pleased at being the center of interest. Warden Durston stood at the loft of the chair, with his hand on the back of It, and almost at the moment that Kemmler took his seat he began to speak in short, quick periods. "Now, gentleman," he said, "this is Willlam Kemmler. I have warned him that he has got to die, and it he haa anything to Bay he wui say it." As the Warden finished Kemmler looked up and said in a high-keyed voice, Without any hesitation and as though he had pre pared himself with the speech: -wen, x wm 11 ovory ouu goou xuca iu tnia wonki, aud I think I 'am going to a good place, and the papers have been saying a lot of stuff, that isn't so. That' all I have to say." At 1:48 Warden Durstou touched the lever completing the circuit. Instantly Kemmler's arms stretched out as far as the straps allowed, the finger opened and cioted, the JrSdr stlfff Aid. sH4 all WM tiiU. Xb SWT

Kemmlor's chest slightly collapsed -?' , and he was dead beyond doubt. " iIt was pot a single, paralyzing shock -which took bis life away. It was a suecession ot awful, rending threes, as if his' nerves were being torn piece by niece frotheir con torn. It- was a spectacle no tonguav.v . nor pen could describe. Tho dynamo was allowed four full, minutes to pour its destroying tide into the poor, strapped-down . piece of humanity.

By this time even tho coolest-headed ot the party was tetribly impressed by the awfulaeae" of the event. . "How long did Kemmler suffer?" asked a reporter,.of one of the physicians who saw tho execution. . - . - The doctor was loath to reply at first, but finding tbe reporter know already some- -thing of what had gone on In that awful . death chamber he spoke assuringlyi "Oh, the poor fellow was unconscious- aftan- the first shock.

On one toot was placed a 'special shoe fitted with aa electrode. The electrical resistance of tho subject was determined in the cell by means of reliable instruments. The condemned was then conducted to the execution room and placed in a recumbent position in the ; cbalr, to which snaps were fastened to the chest-belt and ankle-straps.
