Sangster. miss Armstrong s nomiciae. A few weeks ago some workmen engaged in removing an old mansicn on the corner of California and Mason streets were considerably puzzled at finding a number of copper wires connecting the bath-room with the room above. The owners ol the property were equally puzzled, having never before known of their existence. The wires were removed, and nothing more thought of the matter. This recalls to my mind an incident which many will now remember. On the 14th of July, 1862, a Professor Crofty was found dead in the bath-room I have just mentioned. Crofty was well known among scientific men as a professor of chemistry,.and. besides, had a large circle of acquaintances in this city. He was supposed at the time to have committed suicide, and his death furnished a three days' sensation for the press. The accounts in four leading newspapers materially conflicted, which made the matter all the more interesting to the public. All agreed, however, with a singular unanimity of opinion, that he was dead. Even the Call, while not positively admitting his demise in the article, virtually conceded it in the head lines. Crofty, when found, was lying in the bath, covered with wounds of so curious a rmhirp that, nn nnr> crmlrl pvnl'iin linw they came to be inflicted. They were deep, ragged and gaping, and there was no instrument founa in the room with which they might have been made. Even the detectives who visited the scene of Crofty's death shook their heads and were at sea. Those who discovered the body found the door securely fastened from the inside, and were obliged to burst it open. The room had no other means of egress or ingress. "Suicide," remarked one of the reporters. "How came those wounds on the back?" asked a detective. "Who else was here?" responded the journalist. And neither man had anything more to say. A post mortem revealed nothing new, except that the physicians had found a state of blood which they could not satisfactorily account for. " He was frozen," said a young physician, whose opinion seemed to have its foundation in surmise. ' You seem to have forgotten that this is July," remarked an elderly gentleman connected with the University. Ihe newspapeis ried wita each other building up ingenious theories accounting for the affair, the coroner's jury found a verdict of suicide, for want of anything better, and the remains were buried. The reader who desires to get a more detailed account of the affair?as related at the time?can do so by referring to the tiles of any of the city papers of that date. In fact I would produce them here did space permit. The main thing, however, is to clear up the mystery of Crofty's remarkable death. He came to the coast in 1860, and was reputed to be a man of sufficient means 1o live handsomely on the interest of his money. He stopped awhile at the Grand Oriental Hotel, and there met Edward Dean, a young man, w'io, like himself, was a gentleman of leisure. The two became intimate, and finally, tired ol hotel life, they determined to seek quarters which would be more congenial and home-like. They found these quarters at the residence of with nicety and deliberation. Dean always took a bath before retiring, which was about midnight. In the morning Crofty had purchased two seats at the Metropolitan Theater and gave them to Richard Armstrong, a mutual acquaintance, who lived in very desirable quarters on the corner of California and Mason streets. Before the costly habitations of Stanford. Crocker and other millionaires sprang into existence, Armstrong's house came very near j being called a mansion. Armstrong i rented Crcfty and Dean three elegant I rooms, partly because he liked the men ! personally and partly because he was ' running on a pretty close margin finan- > cially. The two found their new j quarters as attractive as men of taste j could wis.h. Armstrong was a wid- ; ower. and the three men nad some rare ! old times together evenings. One evening a hack, drove up to the I door, and a woman, clad in wraps, \ bounded up .the steps with astonishing j vigor and agility, like most Western : girls who are blessed with good health j and animal spirits. She dashed into the hall in a style that sent a perceptible tremor through the building, and fell into old Armstrong's arms. A fusillade of kisses followed. It Was his daughter Alice., Next morning the usual formalities of introduction were gone through, and j Miss Armstrong became one of t..e fix- j tures of the place. A few days before her arrival Professor Crofty had sug- j gestcd the idea of living somewhere nearer the center of the city. After Miss Armstrong entered the house, however, no further allusion was made to the proposed removal. The professor began to pay Miss Armstrong the most devout attentions, and, as a matter of course, sue ien maniy in love wun | young Dean, who paid her none. It is ; generally conceded that one of the most | effective ways of wooing a woman is lo I let some other man do it. The woman ! tires of the indefatigable lover, and the j man who treats her with indifference is , preferred. Some men learn this by experience; Dean discovered it by accident. He presently began to turn his knowledge to excellent account, and a bitter rivalry sprang up between the two men. Crofty soon realized that he was not the favorite and never, for the life of him, could ascertain how a woman oould form an attachment for a man who hadn't the remotest idea of chemistry. He forgot that lie was somewhat old, T I and that some women dislike to cast their bridal wreaths upon the snow. He | linally determined to put his rival out : of the way, and set about laying his a i plans. ti One day I was in his room?being an y occasional visitor?and observed him is : busily engaged in chemical experiments. r< j Said lie: "Did you ever realize that k the conditions which result in coneela- h tion might be produced chemically r" | ft. I eonlesscd tiiat 1 had never given the ti ! subject much thought. ft 44 Of course you understand that sudden e evaporation cjiuses cold?" E I knew nothing of the kind :it the i> ! time but nodded assent rather than ! I i acknowledge my ignorance. j ^ 441 can produce ice instantaneously," ? ! he continued. 44 This is my assistant," n I pointing to :m electric battery. 44 With e: 1 a current of say one hundred omes of I v ! electricity, I can accelerate enough I tl j evaporation to freeze instantly one hun- 1' | dred gallons of water." i? Here the professor took a basin of e; water, and poured in a small quantity of colorless liquid. "This is amonia, f1 said he. "Hut this"?here lie added o about as much of some other liquid? t< i " is something else." I "What is it?" <1 " Xo one knows but myself." ^ I I deemed it impertinent to question J him further, lie then attached the u wires of his battery t" the water. 0 ! t watched, much interested, and lie 1! ; laid his hand on a piece of mct.il which <l ! was part of the apparatus, and the turn- 11 ! ing of which caused the currents to con- w ncct. lie turned the brass piece, and s< instantly a cloud of vapor rose from th;> }'( surface of the water. Crystals shot 15 from the sides of-the basin with astonishing rapidity, and there was a sharp, (tracking sound as the water expanded " in it caused a strain upon the basin, ir which pressed out the sides. _ n. '* With five hundred omes," continued ti the professor. " I can freeze live hundred s' cubic feet of water." # . I left the house much impressed with 1)1 the discovery made by the professor, and 9, a few days afterward learned of his J"-1 death. The public considered it a case ? of suicide. I made a careful e.xamina- J' tion of the premises, and cametoadif- " ferent conclusion. It was the hand of v Alice Armstrong that killed Professor 1T Crofty. S1 Let us go back a little. After the pro- V wlmt. /'nnlil With his now appliance of electricity, lie deter- w mined to utilize it in the murder of :lj Dean. He liit upon the grand idea of ? freezing him in the bath. "She will not love him cold," he said, _ and began to arrange his plans. Dean wjis fond of a bath. lie retired at mid- ^ night, and always took a bath just be- ? fore. The bathroom of Armstrong's aj house was an exceptionally good one. _ It was situated but a short distance from 0:, the suite occupied by the professor and Dean. The tank was of marble, large in size, capable of holding 480 cu^ic feet of 0< water. Crofty connected the bath with 111 his own room by means of wires. One entered the bath by the waste-pipe, lie cl reached this under the pretext of planting flowers. It was concealed from obser- ? vation by a lilac bush. The other was ^ connected with the pipe which furnishes the water. lie bored a hole in the wall h: and found the pipe as he expected, run- S; ning in the rear of the room close to the es floor. He then increased the jars of his battery, and raised its strength to 500 ci ome9: m No suspicion was excited by this, as :u he had been lor months before making tl: electrical experiments His apparatus S] was fixed on a stand near the wall, and the wires from it connected with those leading to the hath. When the apparatus w was removed its wires would be pulled P? away from the others, and no trace gj would be left of previous connection. T On flip nirr] 1 f. nf tlie 13f.ll of Jlllv !:ll I W was in readiness. Crofty laid his plans ti Armstrong,who took his daughter to the ti play. By eight o'clock ever /thing was sr quiet in the house. Crofty knew he p' was safe from interruption unti leleven ? o'clock, and perhaps later. gj He now began to work in earnest. lie T filled the tank with water, and then w tested his wires over and over again, w Everything w:is in splendid working la order. He calculated that he had em- ni bedded his rival in ice about midnight, st and then would turn on hot water. In cl the morninjr there would be no trace of W freezing. He rubbed his hands with de- al light, and then poured in the chemical w proportions, wherein lay the secret of F his discovery. c: He then' went to his room and laid fi' the two connecting wires of his appara- ni tus side by side upon the instrument. It P( w:is now nine o'clock. He turned the m gas up to a full blaze to disperse the 01 shadows, took an easy chair, and detcrmined to read until Dean's return. 1 The silence of the house became unbearable, and the sultriness of the apartment -j more and more oppressive. His exc ite- j1.' ment began to tell on him. and he was ? no longer cool. The man who is about to kill suffers more pangs than he who is about to die. ?l Crofty paced up and down the apart- c merit,:irid then :i strange fascination drew him toward the bath. He entered the *. room again and stood gazing into the t,] motionless water in the tank, and mur- !ir mnmwt tn himenlf. * TiYiIll* lllimlrpri !iml ^ eighty cubic feet and Ave hundred & omes." R: There was a gas jet above the tank, , and its faint glow was reflected in the X water. To Crofty the atmosphere . seemed to have been generated in a blast-furnace. The watt"* looked cool and refreshing. There was yet more D< than an hour. Crofty turned the catch of the door from force of i.abit, and throwing off his clothes plunged in. He could discover no disagreeable trace ot ~ the chemicals and once more he felt the delightful sensation of being cool. It c7 was so delightful that he began to re- ?1! fleet in his mind whether he would not lei continue to enjoy the bath and postpone sa the murder. ye Suddenly the hall door was slammed and he heard the voice of Miss Arm- V1 strong talking with her father. The (" pair had indeed returned, having left the su theater because they did not wish to be nf bored witli Mrs. Bowers' hackneyed rendering of "Queen Elizabeth." Pass- S1 ing along the hall, they saw the profes- , sor's door open, and the gas in full blast. b( Armstrong hated to see anything go " to waste, and told his daughter to go in " and lower the gas, as the room was unoccupied. Miss Armstrong went in as y directed, and her father passed up stairs. ^ While alone the girl couiu not resist me '.v temptation to pull a little note from her bosom and read it again. She had already perused it about twenty times. It "j read: , cl " Deak Ai.ice :?Will you be my wife? h: " Yours, ft"Eivwahd Dean." ftDean was a young man who, when lie j^J had anything to say, said it and at once, j1' stopped on reaching the point. She pored over the letter about five so minutes, and then returned it to its a place, and looked about her. Presently 1U her eye fell upon the instrument con nectcd with Crofty's battery. She took SI up one of the wires, and was about to lay m it on the other, and see if there would be ar a shock, when her courage failed her w and she dropped it across its mate. A P1 spark flitshed out, which startled her. 00 She drew back, lowered the g:is, and went to bed. ? At the instant the wires were con- Pc nected, Crofty was in the centre of the . bath. A shock and terrible chill passed through his frame, and he felt a cloud ? of vapor rising from the surface of the 1S water and sweeping into his face. "J Myriads of spear-like crystals shot out of from the edge of the tank and converged toward him like so many shafts of death. m He realized his situation, and dashed ^5 fr\ of/mo . I. /-? At A 1??

If the cut be extensive, or an artery, vein or any other important 3 part be injured, it becomes a more ur- T ,d gent matter. -Accidental cuts from . knives, cutting tools, scythes, etc., are I more likely to occur on the face and limbs than on the body. All that is requisite, in general, is to bring the parts ^ together as accurately as possible, and he to oind them up; this is usually done by iy adhesive plaster, when the cut ceases to j ka bleed. Nothing is so good for this pur- ' lt- pose as paper previously washed over on x. one side with thick gum-water, and then . dried; when used, it is only to be slight- I ut ly wetted with the tongue. When the cut bleeds but little, it is as well to soak ot the part in warm water for a few minutes, or to keep a wet cloth on it. This ;i. removes inflammation and nain. and al nd so a tendency to faintness which a cut ed gives some persons. If the bleeding be rt- too copious, dab the part with a rag wetted with creosote. If the wound be ins large it should be sewed up. If the he blood that issues be very scarlet, it may ho be concluded that an artery has been by touched, and then, whenever the bleedH0 ing cannot be stopped, medical aid must {*" be procured; the best method to pursue 1? is to bind up the wound tightly, or to hold a finger tightly against the part , that bleeds,?HeaWi and Home. ot , to Odd Home of a Prarle Dog. o" Recently the head of Frank Tolles, the ,ly leader of a band of highwaymen, was od borne into Cheyenne, Wyoming Territory, and exhibited to a jubilant crowd.
