Cincinnati, August 29.—A special states
that Mary Dean, a widow living near Hills-boro,
Mo., murdered her two children by cut-ting
their throats on Tuesday last. Upon be-ing
arrested and brought to Hillsboro she said
she was too poor to suppoit them. She mur-dered
the baby first, and when she undertook
to put the little five year old by ou the bed to
kill him he clung to her aud begged piteously
saying—“Oh, mama, don’t kill me; don't
kill me!’* Without heeding his cries she
threw him on the bed, and after cutting his
throat she struch him on the side of the head
with a piece of iron which completed the
work. She presents a woe begone appearance
and is possessed of little or no intelligence.
She is supposed to be insane.
The Alleged. Interview.
New Yokk, August 29.—A special to the
Herald from Cincinnati says Arch Bishop
Purcell was called upon yesterday and the al-leged
interview between him and, K» arney
shown to him. After reading it carefully he
laughed and uttered these words: “Ridlcn-lous
stuff. ’'
Kearney came here and with him was his
secretary. I received them as I receive every
one who wants to see me on business. Kear-ne.^’
s first words to me were:
“I'm Denis Kearney, and I heard you was
going to eat me."
I looked at him a moment and replied: I
do not thhik any body would want to eat you
very much. Then he spoke to me about the
Catholic Telegraph having stated that he was
an Orangeman. Of course I was willing; if
any wrong had been done him by that journal,
to have it correct, but I was not the person to
be accountable lor it.
In answer to the vuestion as to what was the
Arch Bishop's impression of Kearney, he re-plied:
“I think him a foul mouthed blackguard,
and less notice Is taken of him tlie better off
society will be. He is a fermenter of mischief
and can do the cause he professes to represent
no good.

Uneven Wool.
A writer, who is an authority on
wool, says that, as a matter of fact,
there is nothing which renders wool
so useless for certain kinds of manu-facture
as unevenness or break in the
continuity of the thickness of fibre,
and there is no defect more common
and nothing that, year by year,
touches the sheep-grower more se-verely
on that tender part of his
anatomy—the pocket. HoweWr good
the wool is in all other respects, the
keen eye of the buyer singles out the
defective wool, and down goes the
price of it. And it is not mere fancy
that regulates the prices, for tlie une-ven
wool will break at the weak pla-ces
during the first process of manu-facture.
Some persons suppose that
this unevenness of fleece is heredita-ry
in certain animals, and perhaps
unevenness might be made hereditary
by generations of ill-usage and neg-lect.
But as the wool of an entire
flock is found to he uneven one year
and not so another, it shows that the
management has more to do with it
than descent. If sheep are allowed
lo get into bad condition, are neglec-ted,
under-fed, or not sheltered pro-perly,
the pores will contrat and the
wool that issues will be of very fine
fibre. As soon as the animal recov-ers
a vigorous condition the pores
again open, and a longer and stronger
fibre grows. The nmol is thus weak-er
in one place than in places at each
side of it, and breaks at the weak
places on the slightest strain. Noth-ing
induces unevenness more easily
and surely than than -want of water.
—Portland Oregonian.
QUARANTINE TROUBLES.
Spring Station will not be a Hospi-tal
for Houston.
Shot Guns and Cowkides.
It ivill be remembered that tlie
Telegram, a few days ago, spoke of
the quarantine officer on the Interna-tional
and great Northern road be-ing
forced by the citizens of Spring
Station to take again on the train a
blockade runner that he had put oil'
there the previous day. He only’
brought him three or four miles be-low
when he again ousted the un-fortunate.
The man went black to
the station a second .time, and was
detected and held there by’ the citi-zens.
Monday evening, as the train
went up, a telegram came to the con-ductor
telling him to have the health
officer secreted in tlie train when it
reached Spring, as he might have
some trouble there. This was car-ried
out as well as possible, but it
failed to accomplish its purpose.
The cars pulled up to the station and
were hardly still before men Were
rushing through it searching for the
quarantine officer. In the midst of
t his proceeding the conductor signal-ed
the engineer to go ahead, but a
fellow with a six-shooter had stepped
into cab and told him not to touch
that throttle until they found the man
sought. They were then told that
the officer that put tlie man off before
was not on board, but they wanted
to see the officer who was on board.
The circumstances were trying, but
Corporal J. II- P. Dolan bad to step
out of the baggage car on the plat-form
amid a profussion of shotguns
and cowhides. Seeing that this -was
not the man they’ wanted, there was
disappointment perceptible on every
countenance, hut they did not lay
violent hands on tlie innocent for the
guilty, hut gave him fair warning
that this must he the last time any
officers put off a man from any in-fected
point thero. Twenty men
with blunderbusses and quirts went
very’ far to show that business was
meant, and that there had better be
other arrangements made.
The Health Officer at Willis also
informed tlie quarantine officer that
he could under no circumstances put
oft' anybody there in the future.
Superintendent Iloxie, of tlie In-ternational
and. Great Northern
Road, has telegraphed a pass to Dr.
Rutherford on which to carry this
man as far hack as Texarkana, which
will relieve the present case, but
there will have to be a new deal for
the future.—Houston Telegram.
THE SUN.
Facts, Everybody Should Know.
The sun is 320,000 times as large as
this earth.
A lady who weighs 100 pounds
here would weigh 2,700 pounds if on
the surface of the sun.
The heat given off by the sun
would melt 287,200,00 cubic milesuftf
ice every second.
Tlie diameter of the earth bears
the same relation to its distance from
tlie sun as tlie breadth of a hair to 125
feet.
A railroad traveling without stops
at the rate of forty miles an hour
would get to tlie sun in 263 years.
The sun is believed to become some
250 feet smaller every year..
This contraction would be suffi-cient
to generate the enormous quan-tity
of heat which it radiates.
Another theory is that comets and
meteoric matter falling into the sun
may be its aliment to offset the tre-mendous
loss which combustion cer-tainly
involves.
It would require the combustion
of coal over the entire surface of tlie
sun every second to generate the
same amount of heat.
The stars are supposed to average
larger than one sun and to have plan-etary
systems like his.
The nearest star is 250,000 times as
far off as our sun.
It takes light eight minutes to come
from the sun, but it must have re-quired
50,000 years to come from the
farthest visible star.
When the eleven-y’ear storms on
the sun occur, the magnetic needle
on the earth is variable and some-times
considerably’ deflected,
Tlie earth is flying around the sun
at the rate of 1,000 miles a minute.
The sun and all the stars are mov-ing
through space, accompanied by,
their planetary systems, at a ri
varying from 20 to 200 miles
second. _ __
Some of the sun-spots (era!ers) are
100,000 miles in diameter, and one of
them would easily swallow up the
whole of the planets, Jupiter himself
only making a mouthful.
Maedler’s curious and brilliant
speculation is that the star Alcyone
is the central sun of our universe, and )
die visible stars are swinging around
it in orbits measured by millions of
years.
