CRAZED BY MESMERISM. A STISANGE CASE REPORTED TO THE xew tore: roLicE. Somewhere in the Eig City a Mother and Two Children Aro Starrlnc She Is the Victim u a Professional Hypnotist, and Cannot Ba Found. Kew Yoke, March 2. tywfa'. Some where in this big city Mrs. Hattie "White, a pretty youns woman whose mind is de ranced, is hiding to escape imaginary evils. She has her two little daughters with her, and there is reason to believe that in her anxiety to escipe her husband's supposed fury, and to prevent him from finding the little ones, she is slowly starving them to death. Mrs. "White is 29 years old, and lias been married 12 years. Her oldest daughter, Stella, is 11 ycafs old, and her youngest, Effie, is 9. According to Mrs. Kavanagh and some other neighbors Mrs. "White is the victim of the mesmerists or professional hypnotists. She is a subject on which they often oper ated. There is a very little doubt that she is insane. "Whether the tricks of these men had anything io do with making her so is not proved. She has been queer for a year at least. Her husband is a street car driver and does not make very much money, yet she always gave her neichbors the impres sion that she was well offand that she cared nothing for money. She was proud and not popular among the people of moderate means with whom she lived and had to as sociate. Some time on the morning of February 23 Mrs. "White left her home with her two children. When last heard lrom shs was living in a room rented from a Mrs. Ma honey. Mrs. Mahoney said to-day she had not taken Mrs. White lor an insane woman, but thought she was a woman of good breed-, ing in poor circumstances. "The children certainly did not have enough to cat," she said. There is absolutely no track of the woman or children alter the; left Mrs. Mahoney's on Monday morning. To-day Mr. White appealed to the police, and a general alarm was sent out to look lor them. DIED AT THE AGE OF .118- The Oldest TV o man in Xew Tori: Expires at Her Granddaughter'. Xew Yoke, March 2.

C, where she was born.

Her husband died at an advanced age 2j years aso, and the youngest ot her seven children was 59 years old when she died, 16 years ago. There are lour grandchildren in" Xew York, all mid dle aged, but there are many more in the South, beside lots of great-grandchildren.

Two trunk lines are pushing their way through the State with all possible speed; the old lines are building branches, and the preliminary work on new routes is being vigorously prosecuted. The-Pittsburg and West Virginia Rail road, running southeastward through the interior of the State, is driving forward as rapidly as possible. The cars now run to Sutton, which is about the center of the State, in Braxton county, and 103 north of Charleston, on the Elk river. Grading on the Eastern extension of the Pittsburg and West Virginia Railroad has been completed from the Sutton line to Camden-on-thc-Gauley, about 40 miles, and as soon as settled weather arrives, the track will be laid on this section, which will take the cars to the lumber regions on the Gauley river. The Pittsburg and West Virginia Railroad will be extended to ld"arlingt"n, in Pocahontas county, where it will con nect with the Springs branch of the Chesa peake and Ohio Railway, giving an outlet to Virginia and the South. The contract for tKe constrnction of the first 20 miles oi the Charleston, Clendcnin and Sutton Railroad was awarded yester day. This is a short line running "north ward from Chaileston, on the. Elk river, 103 miles to Sutton, where it will connect uith tho Sutton branch of the Pittsburg and West Virginia liaihoad.

Tho bridge acioss the Omo river at Kenova was completed a short time aso. and cars are now running fi om Ironton. O., the Western terminus, to Ferguson, in Wayne county, W. Ya. Tho entire lino will probably be opened beforo the close ot tho picsent year.

This is a compauy of local capitalists formed to construct n short lino of railway from Hinton, on the Chesaneako and Ohio Kailroad, up the Xew river to tho mouth of Kast river, where it will connect with a branch of tho Norfolk and Western Rail road. The mileage of railroad that will be contructeil in West Virginia this year will probably be more than tin oe times as much as that of any previous year. BELATED SNOW ST0BHS.

Charles L. Willoughby seeks 'an injunction restricting the Chicago Junction Railway Stock Yards Company lrom executing an agreement to purchase lands of the stock yards from the Chicago, packers, Armour, Swift and Morris, for what is alleged to be a price greatly in excess oi the value of the property. This property is the yards at Tolles ton, Ind., and the Central Stock Yards iu Chicago, and the price to be paid therefor is over 53,000,000 worth of stock. The pos session of this block of stock would give those three packers control of the Chicago yards, in which about 20 other packers are interested. Power would thus be given them to discriminate against others, to make rule3 and regulations by which consign ments of stock to them and its subsequent shipment would be made at rates that would be unlair to smaller packers.

BIG CONTRACT CLOSED. Chicaco'a Wealthy Cattle Triumvirate Bar pains 'With a Stock Yard Company 4. n Agreement That TVill Take Many Mill Ions tn Ratify Terms of the DoaL Kew York, March 2. Special. A meeting of the stockholders of the Chicago Junction P.ailway and Stock Yards Com pany was held in the Fuller building, Jersey City, to-day, when the big deal between the company and the three big beef packers of Chicago Armour, Swilt and Morris was ratified without a hitch. The directors of the company made a con tract with the packers, by which the latter acrreed that all the cattle slaughtered by them for the next 15 yeara should pass through the companv's yards, and guaranteed an aggregate income to the company of $2,000,000 for the next six years. They also convey to the company the Central stock yards and 1,000 acres of land at Tolleston, near Chi cago, where they had intended to establish yards of their own. As its share of the contract the company will turn over $3,000,000 of 5 per cent in come bnnds to Messrs. Armonr, Swift & Mor ris. The Directors were driven to make the deal in consequence of the project of the triumvirate to carry their entire packing business to Tolleston, which would have cut off over 50 percent of the business and in come of the Chicago yards. Of the 130,000 shares of stock, 92,500 were represented by proxies at to-day's meeting, and only 2,500 of those were cast against the deal. President F. H. Winston, of Chicago, who was Cleveland's minister to Persia, came on to the meeting, and presided at the meeting of directors held after the stockholders had adjourned. The other di rectors present were John Quincy Adams, of Boston; Edward J. Phelps, ex-Minister to England, and F. H. Prince, of Boston. HESSIAN PBIS0N LIFZ. How Unfortunatei Are Fnnlahed for Breaking the Law. Not infrequently does it happen in Rus sia that a respectable man is confined in prison for a few days for some slight offense. At times even an elder of a small community must submit to such a penalty for what the Russian law calls a neglect of duty. Such a person is retained in a large room, together with a lot of obdurate crimi nals, who are either awaiting trial or sen tenced to be put at hard labor in a fortress. When the respectable prisoner comes among them they begin to press him for "a treat of good fellowship." He must send for a bottle of brandy. If he is not as lib eral as they want him to be they harass and torment him. Should he mate a threat to complain before the authorities of their conduct, they immediately decide upon performing on him the operation of "cupping," as they call it. The unfortunate fellow is stripped, stretched on a bench and held fast. His mouth is stuffed with a rag, so that his cries cannot be heard outside. A spot on his breast is made wet, and one of his tor mentors rnbs it with his unshaven chin until the skin becomes red. Hereupon another one slaps that spot with his fiat hand with all bis might A large blister immediately appears on the wounded place. This is what they call "setting a cup." Six or eight such "cups".are sometimes set on the breast, the sides and the back of the sufferer, so that be is unable to lie down for several days. LOOKED AZTZB HIS PEOPLE. Emperor Dom Pedro Built a Hospital on a Grand Scale. Doctor Stellwag, the famous oculist, while lecturing to his students at Vienna recently, told a pretty story of the late Dom Pedro, of Brazil. He said that he had had many opportunities of conversing with his lato ex-Emperor, a man oi" the highest character and the greatest culture, whose heart and mind were always filled with plans for im proving the condition ot his people. It was one of his dearest wishes to have a big hospital in Kio, but he lacked the money wherewith to build it, and the wealthy could not be induced to subscribe. Then an idea came to him, and he began to bestow titles. Any man who was willing to give a good rnund'sum to the hospital could call himself "count," "viscount" or "baron." The patent of nobility was not hereditary, and if the children wished to inherit the father's title, they had to pay over again. Bio was suddenly peopled with nobles, and the hospital was built tin a grand scale. When it was completed, the Emperor placed over its feates, "Human Vanity to Human Misery."
