A SAD ACCIDENT.
An Eiglit-Ycar-OUI Roy Shoots
His Little Brother
Last Sunday at Rogers statian, on
the Western and Atlantic vailroad,
there was a religious meeting of un
usual interest, which called together a
congregation of many of the best peo
ple ox that section.
One of the ceremonies of the occa
sion was the baptism of Mrs. R. R.
Hargiss, wife of the popular conduc
tor cf that name. Mrny of her
friends and relatives from miles
around had met at the scene. Among
these was her sister Mrs. C. J. Lovel
ace, who resides three mileß from
Rogers station. She has throe small
children besides a grown son. Of the
younger children the oldest was on'y
eight and the youngest a booy of only
three years of age,
It seems that these children were
left at home with a nutse. Their el 1.
eat brother had left a revolvor in a
drawer. He had fired all the cham
bers except one. This he had tried
frequently hut it failed, and he left en
the nipple an expl >ded cap.
The nurse left the children and
went to the we'l. When she was
gone she heard f he report of
A PISTOL SHOT,
and fearing the children were in mis
chief, she flod to the house as soon as
possible. There sh3 found the sad
reality. The eight year old boy had
go ten hold of the pistol, and seeing
the cap useless had procured Another
and put it on the nipple. He then
commenced a series of pranks with
the weapon. At last ha pointed it at
his year old brother aad pu’lel
the triger. The cartridges which hid
failed so often exploded, and entered
the little fel'ow’s face through his
nose and passing into his brain
caused
instant death.
Th 9 boy seemed scare dy cousoious
of what he had done and when told of
the fearful results of his prank, he
seemed to fail to appreciate it at all.
A messenger at once procured a
horse and went as fast as possible
to Rogers station, where the mother
was. He called her aside anl till
her the dreadful truth, and she was
almost wild with grief. She was
soon carried to her sad home. The
deadmhild was very bright and inter
esting, anl was quite a pet of the
whole family. The remiins were
hurried Monday, and were attended
to the grave by many friends and rel
atives The accident if as sad as it is
peculiar.

Terrible Deed of a North

on their way to a great tournament
which was to take place about twelve
miles distant, and when in a lonely
part of the road, without giving a
word of warnbig, Phoeaix stopped his
horse, dragged Miss Sallie out and
gratified his strange and hellish lust.
Her ciit s were of no avail, for imme

body that he presents a frightful ap
pearence. His hands and feet are al
most black and covered with ulcers >
his fingers are enlarged to nearly
three times their former size f so that
the ends stand apart like the claws of
a fowl, nis nails have fallen out.
His face h not so badly swollen, but
Ids feitures havo an expression of
despair that n akes it painful to look,
at him. Nearly all Ids beard has
fallen off. The hair of his head is
thin, dry anl lusterless, anl
HIS EYEBROWS ARK PERFECTLY BAKU.
Around the iris of each eye is an in
distinct light yellow ring, about a
twelfth cf an inch in width, and the
canine apperance always noticible] in
jeporsis well marked. Brown brought
his leprosy from Cuba, whither he
went in 1865, remaining there about
nine years. His case seems the more
deplorable for the reason that be is
an old New Yorker; that he has led
an upright life, but abova all, from
the laet that ho feels so keon'y that
he is an object of universal loathing.

tho disease is, not and never was con

terrible object to look upon. Ilis face
has become so swollen as to bo utter
ly unrecognizable. The color of tho
skin is a light yellowish red, glisten

of thenose is distended to a brealth
of fully two inches. Tha only hair
on his face is his eyelashes. The eye

On the crown of his head it retains
something like its origonal color. Ho
has one of the brightest pair of eyes over
seen in a man’s head- They are per
fectly jet black over the iris, and with
a white corner that glistens like the
whitest polished ivory, Trenal told
the reporter that he was nineteen
years old. If he said fifty, he might
have been believed all the same, so
far as

were concerned. Ttie physician* have
no hope of curing the lepers. They
say tha* although it has been claimed
that lepers have been cured, no well
I authenticated case of cure hss ever
been lecorded- All they can do is to
mitigate the disease as much r‘s possi-
ble, simply by watching the symytoms
and preventing complications and
seeing that the victims suffer as little
pain as possible. Tho two patients

MINNIE WARREN’S DEATH
Major Newell’s Wife and Gen.
Tom Timm’s .Sister-in- Law
The Youngest and Pret
tiest of Mr. Bamiini’s
Dwarfs, Commodore
Nutt’s Attention to
Ldvinia and Af
terward to
her Sis
ter.
New York. July 25.—Minnie W r ;
ren, the youngest, brightest, and pret
tiest of Mr. Barnum’s dwarfs, died in
Middleboro, Mass , on Tuesday even
ing, in childbed. She was the young
est of a family of eight children, all of
whom except herself and her sister
Lavinio, now tlrs. Tom Thumb, were
of ordinary size. The was 40 inches
in height, and never attained h weight
to exceed 45 pounds, heing considera
bly shorter and more slender than
Mrs. Thumb. She was 27 years of
age at the time of her death. To h
pretty face she added pleasant dispo
sition and winning ways, and she he
camo the fast favorite of Mr. Barnum
as well as of the public. When Tom
Thumb wap married to Lavinia War
ren the .general opinion was that
Commodore Nutt would take Minnie
for his bride; but the little Commo
dore had set his affections on Lavinia,
and his little heart was blighted when
General Thumb won her from him.
A few years ago Barnum found an
other liliputian, Majorj'Newell, who
was rechristened General Grant, Jr. t
and added to the Tom Thumb combi
nation. Tha Major was bright and
intelligent, aad he and Minnie became
great friends. About a year ago
they were married, and they lived
happily together with General Thumb
and wife in Middleboro. Their last
tour together was in the Western
Slates, from which they recently re
turned.
When Mr. Barnum was in the city
recently, he let out the secret, which
had been closeiy kept by Minnie’s
family, but tho memory of the spuri
ons Thumb baby led many to regard
the story a Barnum hoax. But the
New Haven women soon discovered
the purchase of little hits of muslin,
lace and fi nnel by members of the
Warren household, and secrecy be
came impossible. A lady friend who
visited the Warrens described the lit
tle'garments as ‘ too comical for any
thing.” Dolls’ patterns were used,
and the little slips and wrappers were
made one-sixth of the size of garments
for ordinary babies.
Mrs Newell is described as looking
forward to maternity with great an
ticipatioi sof happiness and no mis
givings. Her husband, however, had
gloomy forebodings, and expressed
the greatest solici'ude. Her death
was a great shock to her family. The
child died at birth. It weighed fi.e
pounds and ten ounces. Four hours
later the mother died.
When a certain fathor came home
the other evening and stepped into
the parlor to fill up the coal-btove he
was startled to see, when the flame
of his hand-lamp dissipated the dark
ness, that his daughter and her ducky
dcodle. Adolphus, were sojourning in
the shadow of the lowered gas jet.—
But they were in separate chairs'
And were engrossed in a boy. of figs!
Fie felt c m pel led to ask: “Some

the time-tried youth, grasping one of
tho golden thoughts that overwhelm
us in the time of emergency, answer
ed, as he mechanically picked up an
other fig: “No, sir; we turned it
down so as not to notico wheu wo ’tut

Johnson went over the ash heap.—
She rose up with less confidence in
her eye, and the boys in the alley
heard one say, “than it to Texas!”
but of course it wasn’t Mrs. Johnson
She might have moved the stick a lit
tle but she didn’t. She went to take
down the nlo.hes-lir.e then she coiled
it up and hung it in the shed then
came back and surveyed the chunk,
turn'd it over and walked around
it.
The clothes-line was to blame and
now there was nothing to interfere.
She got tho axe, raised it once or
twice then gave an awful blow. It
cbippedjjff a sliver and was buried
in the ground, and the nob of the
handle knocked the breath out of her
She gasped and coughed and jumped
up and down, and the hoys heard some
one say, “If I had that man hear, I’d
mop the ground with him I would!”
After awhile she grew calmer and
picked up the axe to see if she had
injured it. She hadn’tand she smooth
ed down the handle, spit on the edge,
and finally Went in and got a rind and
greased it, suddenly remembering
that an axe wasn’t worth a cent with
out greasing. By f*n by she was
ready. She sat the chunk on end,
put a stone behind it, and then survey
ed it from all sides. She had it now
just where she wanted it. She looked
around to see any of the heighbors
were looking and then raised the axe
She would hit the stick just in the
center and lay it open at one blow.—
She put out oce foot drew a long
breath an then brought the aXe down
with a “Ha !” just as she had seen
Johnson do. The axe went off the
handle struck the stick and so did
Mrs. Johnson. She saw forty thous
and stars to the square foot, her nose
was ‘ barked” several teeth were
loosened until they seemed half an
inch too long.
When she rose up she determined
to butcher Johnson thevnoment he ap
peared. Then she concluded she
would not kill him at once, but tor
ture him to death and be two days
abou* it. Aftfr getting into the house
and putting a sticking plastei on her
knee aod some lard on her elbow, she
corHuded to only wound Johnson
on the shoulder with the butcher
knife.
After pinning up the tare in her
dress, and getting a piece of court
plastei for her nose, she went and
borrowed some wood, and hearing,
whilo on her way home, that Mrs
Piingle was going to ,weai 'her la-t
year’s cloak through another winter,
tho good woman c included to lei
Johnson off entirely, and tell him slit
hurt her node falling down in the
ceilar.
Too Much ;for Her.

‘ Aha !” said she, coming back and

The Blackest C'r'me on Record.
It appears th it some months since
a matriedlady of Boston, of great' re
finement and beauty, and occupying
a prominent social position, bad been
visiting friends in the interior of this
Sta'e, and when leaving took a draw
ing-room car on the New York Oen 1 -
traljailroad for Albany, wher# her
husband awaited her. Two villiaos
followel into the car, probably attract
ed by the valuable j -werly she wore,
and when the conductor approached
the lady for her ticket, informed him
they were her friends, and that she
was deranged, and they unfortunate
ly had been selected to Convey her to
the Uiica Asylum. In spite of her
protes’atious and appeals for protec
tion, the scoundrels succeeded in con
vincing tho conductor and passengers
of tho truth of their story and remov
ed the lady from 4 tho cars at Utica,
she swooning as the train moved
away. She was then Jinto a
coach, chloroformed, taken,to a house
of ill tepute, and onlraged'and robbed
of her jewelry and clothing. The
husband learned of his wife’s alleged
insanity when the train’arrived atJAl
bany, and special engitfe'
started fur Utica without delay. Upon
arriving, a few ii quires enabled him
to find ihe disreputable house where
bis wife had been taken, and there he
found hir lying upon j bed,? almost
stripped of her clothing, and her
mind seriously injured by her terrible
experience. No narnesjare given from
consideration of delicacy. Her hus
band has made eve y effott consistent
with privacy to’discover the fiends, blit
so far without avail.
