The Loss of the Champion.
Xt Charleston wa greatly excited on
Saturday by Che loss of the stelilmer
1hrtmpion, with thirty of the crew
and passengers. Among the drowned
were Mrs. A. 0. Andrews, a charm
ing lady, mid her daughter, Aiss
Mikell, of Charleston, "Mr. J. 13.
Marvin, of Columbia, was also among
thie missing. As the steamer and the
ship saw each other before colliding
there must have been soni gross mis
management. Captain Lockwood's
story is given in another column.
The steamer sank so ral)idly that
boats could tinot be lowered, andti tie
ladies were all asleep. The Cham
p)ion was bnitt for Vandclrbilt twenty
years ago, of wood and iron, and had

SKETCIH OF I1iER L1FE.
LouIse Lateau wvas borni on Janua

Place, where she ttIllI resides. F~or

Joyud the best of health, was unable to

but six weeks old her fa1ther who had
also beci in robust health sinco bo
lood, died of small-pox, after the
disoase hnd been commiicated to the
child.
Fromi a very early ago one of the
greatest enjoyInent6 of the girl ap
wared to b0 the cire of tho sick and
ufr'tiliate, and showed remarkable
fititess foi her labor of love. Up to
her sixteentli year tbor lifo was an
ai host unbrokeni succession of sick
iess, privation anlld dangers. Years
before she had received internal in
.imries, to which at first she paid little
aftenition. The Uvymptomis developed
so serioisly, however, that her life
was dlespaired ofanid Shereceived thb
last sacraments of the Church. A
flovna was then begvun fir her benefit.,
anid Soonl aterward"she said that she
was not to die at this ttim. Sie re
covered, but three weeks liter was
again prostiated by ani acutto nervous
hedae'he d11111 sharp pails inl her left
arm, side and leg. Thon car.:e an
abscess under left shouler, folowed
by an expecoration of blood which
,nde ier so weak Hlhat she could not
without difliculty, take the medicine
prescribed, or swallow anything but a
little water. This wias about her con
(litioli for over sove months, until
death again seemed imniinenf., and the
.llessed terallmient vas adinilistered
to her for the viaticum. Feeling im
pelled to pray) for recovery, -ho did
so, aind scarcely haid conclittled when
she told those it her bedside that this
illness also was disappearing. After
two days of convalescenco she arose,
but. was obliged to lio down againi.
"'lhe fourtl tiie I get Ip," she said,
with a siile, "'all will be well,' anld
sh added with joy that. on the 21st of
A pril, 1868, sh would be able to hear
Alass and receive 1101y Coiinunion in
the parish church.
Oil the night of the 20th she refused
a drink that was olered ivir, 'For,"
she said, "i am to receive I loly Comli
1n1uoni to-iimorrow iorning."1 Early
iiex', day she istonislted her mother
anld sistirs bv getting i) and Savino
that her pain's and weakiness had su
dieiily (lisappeared. Regardless of the
severity ot' the weather she walked to
ile church, where almost the entire
populition of the village was assent
bled to see her.
Three dnys after, upon a Friday,
she experieiced a1 return of the acute
pains and thein appeared the first traces
of t le stigias. .Blood trickled from
a spot in ier left side. TliN was re
peated oii the following Friday, tic
companlied by a similar flow from the
uPper surfihc, of each foot. With con
siderable anxiety to know what it
iieant, Louise mado known the cir
cimistances ito her con i ss >r, M. Niels,
who lowever, paid little attention to
the iatter util tie next Friday when,
at. nine o'clock in the imorniir, the
bloodbegaii to filow againl, not only
f'roi Seemiiing wonids in tlie feet and
left side, but also 110111 the palms and
batks of' both hands. By advice of
her tonlCqssor the service o'fDr. Goinle,
a physician, was sought. lie regard
ed iie flow as a itnatural phenlomenlonl
anti for several weeks tried means to
sto) it. lie failed, however, and
finally Louise, Con'vinlced that her case
was not. one for a physieian, discon
tinued medical treatient.
M. Niels now thought It proper to
infori Mgr. Desclamqps, Archbisop
of Mechlin, of the case. Beiing brought
before that prelate, Louise answered
his quiestionis with a miodestV, clear
ness and siinpJlic'ity that malde a deep)
iinp)ression upon01 him, andt lhe suibse
tquently gave free expression to his
counvictioin that she was a saint. An
investigation of hier caso was no0w
ordlered1 by, thte Bishop of Tournay,

their iinvestigation. Dr. .1mibert, pro
fessor ot miedlicine att Clermont,
France, as well as other doctors, also
wrote piofessionaIlly upon the remark

were present ati any pairt of tine inves
tigatlion,unoto0110has dentiedl or even
called in qulestion a single faict or eir
coniistaince reported by tine Commia
sioners, and yet, there has been suffi
cienit opp)ort unity to dlisprove alny of
their statements had they been utn
true, for the phlenomuenion could have
been witniessed upon01 ally Friday.
On Fridlav, . Septembier 25i, 1888,
blood flowedl thr the first time from
her forehead and a numiber' of points
arounid the crown of her head, andi
five years later, A pril 4, 1873, an ad
ditional wound, rather larger thamn
any of the others, appeared oin thne topl
of lier right shnoulder. Ever since
thiat time, it is said, blood has flowed
fronm all the places mnent ioned regrular
lv every Friday. it usua1lly begins to
flow abiout nihilnighit on 'Thursdays.
Occasionally the bleeding from tIne
left side0 does not begin until some
what later. Sometimes the flow is
only from either the upper or the
lower' surface of the roet, and from
eithier the palmns onr the biacks of thne
hands, but frequten thy takes place.from
both. WhIle tine 'flow often stops
aboutt four' or five o'clock, it some
tiimes lasts until a later hour bitt In
varliably ceases before minight on
Friday.
rThe first symptoms of the bleeding
Is the formation of blisters upon the
hands aind feet, which gener'al ly takes
p>lace upon Thiursdlay. These are fol
lowed -by blisters at other p)oints.
'lThey are about an inch long aund
t.hree-fIfthis of atn Inch wvide. The
b)listers burst, tine watery liqttid pass
es ofi' and then comes the blood from
the true skin. As to the hands aind
feet, no tr'ace of p)untcture or cislon
can be discerned, but on tine forehead
a inumber of small triangular punict
uires may be traced with the aid of a
good bens. Tihne remnainder of tine
coronet is difficult to examine on atc
coumnt of the matting of thte haIr after
being saturated with blood. Except
on Idrid1ay s, no trace more thian a
reddish tinge cana be seen by the niaked
eye of the pointa-whence thne bleeding
proceeds, and even on Fridays yhemn

The blood flows frou betwlen the
fifth and sixth rIbR, and, as in the
case of the other points, the skin p
pears 'unbroken. The quantity of
blood that has Ilowed each week 'from
the stigmas has been estimated at nine
ounces, or a little more than half a
plint. The blood is of normal con
sistoey, presenting, under the micro
scope, an uiusual upP>earance. The
stignias are tihe seat of acute pain, and
it is said that her Buffleing Is much
increased whenever a crime of more
than ordinary magnitudo is commitled
in any part of the church. According
to her own description sihe feels as 1t
a band of red-hot Iron were pressiig
her head with enormous force and the
shoulder is so painful that she feels
unable to hold pl) her head. The pain
exhausts her strength and so imp-tirs
her sight that she is unable to recog
nize a person at a distance of a vard
or two. I ter constitution is gradually
breaking up and it is thought that at
the present, rate of her thiling in health
her last hour must soon arrive. Iler
mother has been dead for years and
Louise is supported by the sewing and
other work of her two sisters.
.Although this case, like the Lourdes
mnilraele, has not yet received more
thin local ecclesiastical confirmation
and is unstunped by Rome as a true
miracle wrought by God for the edill
cation of the people, it is nevertheless
treated with the reatest reverence by
large numbers of Catholics, who re
(arld it ts a supernatural phenomIenon
mntended to increase their devotion.
A WOMAN'S MILOODY DEED.
She cuts the Throats of hJbr Five OhIldrou,
Sots Fire to Her Own Clothins and Is
Burned to Death.
[From the Oarlotto Observer.]
From perfectly trustworthy sources
-from a letter received from across
the border aid from a gentleman who
arrived iII this city yesterday afterinoon
-particulars are gatihered' of one of
the most shocking tranlsactions that
was ever heard of. The story of the
crime and end of Mrs. Jance Adams,
Iat of Lancaster, S. C., hats, happily,
but few parallels in all the annals
of crime, and it will. in all likelihood,
staind out conspicuously for many
years to come, as one of the celebrated
cases.
birs. Adams, with her husband and
fiVC children-tbree boys and two girls
- lived eight or ten miles below Lan
caster village, the husband and father
a farmer, working ott the hands of Mr.
A. J. Kibler. Near them lived a
neiglbor, a Ir. Crenshaw, and last
Saturday iight about twelve o'clock
the Cr6nslhaws were aroused from
sleep by the cries of Mrs. AWaIns, who
appeared at their door, begging for an
axe, but imsisting that no light be
brought. Going out, Mr. Crenshav
discovered that the clothing was en
tirely burired from the body of the
womait and that she was s1f1eringa, in
tensely fromn the lire which had euvel
oped lier. 1lc asked her where her
baby was, to which she replied, "In
heaven," and proposed to answer anly
other questions oin condition that sh'
should be kiocked in the head. Judg
ing from Mrs. Adams' condition that
her house had been burned down,
and thinking it likely that the children
had been burned with it, Mr. Cren
shaw ran thither, but finding no fire
upoli the premises lexcept uponl the
hearth in one of the rooms of the
dwvelling, lie returned to his own home
without entering.
Other persons were by this time
oathiered at Crenshawi's house, and
f[rs. Crenshawv suggesting that
Mrs. Adams be taken black
to her own homo,) she Wa s wvrapped
ill a sheet and carried thither.
An hour and a half afteir beiing placed
in her bed, death kindly camte to her
relief, and( shte passed away without
a wVord to those arounid her concerning
the terrible picture which was soon to
be opened iup to them.
SOme of the necighibors, of whom
thero had by this time gathered quite
a number, having occasion to Ifo into
a little shed room connected with the
hou sc, cncon teredl thle re a spectacle
which, onice looked upont, is never to
be0 forgotteni. In one bed lay all fiye
of the children, each welterinig ini its
blood, anid all dead. All resting in
natural positions-thrtee of the chtil
dren's heads at the head of the bed
andt the heads of the other two at the
fhot-s() much of respose was there
in the scene, anid so little suggestion of
violence of any kind, that the chance
sp)eCtator would have said they ,were
enjoy ing natural sleep. The bodies
were still warm, hut the blood was
there to tell where the knife had
beent. ,Lights were brought, and ex
ammiationi revealed that not 0110 little
lifn had beeni spared b)y the distracted
mother. In every ease the jugular
vein) hind been cut by seine sharp in
strument, and so painless was the
deathI that not one cild had moved.
The eldest of the children-aged about
eleveni years-had been stabbed in two
pllaces and the infant in threeo, but
only upon the eldest was there a
scratch, and excep)t upon01 the necks,
front which the life blood had run out,
there was no sign of blood until tihe
cover' was removed anid the bodies
turned over.
There was nto difficulty In finding a
theory for tile presenice of these six
corpses in the house. The mother,
known by the neighbors to have been
ant utterly wretched woman, in a mo
mient of' sudden froenzy had taken the
lives of her five children andi thou set
fire to her owvn clothing to finish her
work. HIow weoll shte did it has al
ready been told. That she was insanue
when sihe did it does ntot admit of the
slightost doubt. As to the cause of
her insantity there are conlflicting sto
ries. The most generally accep)ted is
that ofjealouisy, anld this Is all the
more p1lausiblo sine there are 110 alle
gations in the netghborhood of person
al violence on the part of the husband.
She had boon heard to say that she
would rather see her chi ldr'en dead
thani to have thorn living as they were<
but the full force of tihs remark does
