The Grand Jury Will InT.stlgate the Uniting DIeaeter, i WniTE Plains, N. Y Doc. 29. District-Attorney William Popham Piatt, of Westchester County, hns begun an Investigation of the accident on the New York Central Railroad at Hast ings. Ho has resolved to present evidence bofore tho next Grand Jury which will probably result In the Indictment of officials of the Central system, to gether with Albert E. Herrlck, the brakeman, to whose criminal negll gonce the accident was due. i The district-attorney expresses the belief that other men besides Herrlck are, to a certain cxtont, responsible, because of the allegod altering of the schedule of trains departing from the Grand Central Station on the fatal night, without notifying the station agents at each station that the way train bound for Croton had been taken off the run that evening. SAWTELLE DIES IN PRISON. Doath Cheat the Callow and a Great Tragedy I. Knded. Concord, N. H., Deo. 27. Tho Saw tollo tragedy is ended. Isaao Saw telle, under sentence of execution for tho killing of his brother Hiram, died In prison yesterday morning. The murder was one of tho most mysteri ous In the criminal annals of the United States and the ensuing trial was a long drawn-out sensation. ' On the afternoon of Wednesday, February 5, 1890, while driving over a road between Rochester, N. H., and Lebanon, Me., Isano B. Sawtello shot and killed his brother Hiram F. The body was found in a shockingly mutilated condition on the afternoon of Fobruary 14. t At the coroners' inquests, held both In Maine and New Hampshire, it was decided that the murder had been committed in New Hampshire. Saw telle's counsel maintained that the murder had been committed in Maine, where the extreme penalty was im prisonment for life. The State's At torney successfully argued that New Hampshire was the scene of the crime, and Isaao was convlotod of murder in the first degree, and was sentenced to be hanged in December 1892. , ACTOR W.

I wish a few heavy sweils would set their faces at;ainst the hideous rice scuffle do riffiifiur at the close of wed ding receptions. The custom of throw- lug nee at departing lovers comes to us from the Mast, where rice is a sign of plenty and prosperity. This em blematic idea is lost, and, instead of a few grains softly falling, we pelt and smother and bombard our brides with thorough brutality, and finally the prac tice has degenerated into a senseless and unseemly fight. Formerly the" go ing ofr" with the pretty traveling toilet, the handshaking, friendly speeches and farewell kisses was a charming epilogue to a trying drama. N ow this episode is a thing of the past. When the bride emerges ready to start on life's journey her heart must fail at the thought of the ordeal in prospect. She says her principal adieus in private, for the guests, like ravening wolvc3 await her below. A scried phalanx blocks the halls, lines the staircase, and extends in masses to the door of the carriage. Flushed and excited faces are turned toward the victims, and every strong right hand is clenched. The bride groom, white, determined and awk ward, joins his wife, and they make a desperate rush. But it is of no avail! The upheaving hordes close upon them; the stinging grain in hurled in their smarting faces, trickles down their backs, gets into their mouths and up their sleeves. Farewells arc impossible, and no one gets a glimpse of the fault less costume evolved with such talent and time. With the instinct of sclf prescrvation the bride defends herself as best she can, and the couple literally fight their way, breathless and dishev elled. With a supreme effort they gain the door, bolt like rabbits into the brougham, and the couple, who have earned a little spoony peace, are forced to travel and make love with a pound of rice in the small of their backs.

FORCIs '1IIKM OUT Scien tists tell us now that the best and safest way to cure diseases of the blood and skin is to force out through the skin the microbes or germs which pro duce disease.'
