SLOWLY ROASTED TO DEATH.
A Prisoner Burned Alive in the Presence
of a 'Crowd of People.
A Webberville, Mich., despatch says:
The cry of " Fire!" aroused the people
shortly before midnight last night, and
they rushed from their homes to find the
town lockup in flames. It was a one-story
wooden structure standing alone in an open
square. Above the crackling of the flames
cries were heard from an inmate of
one of •the cells. When the citi-
zens arrived the doomed man was
wan frantically besting the bars
Of his cell and crying for help. The people
were powerlei
ss to rescue him and n the
preience of the crowd he slowly roasted to
mi
death. Some of the crowd
ade neffectual
attempts to rescue him, but were driven
away by the heat. The . pale face and
glaring eyes of the rinse/Mile wretch
were framed by the black, unyielding bars
of his cell door. Little by 'little he was
forced back, but only when the bars became
red hot did he abandon all hope of escape.
The horror of the situation proved such a
frightful mental strain on the prisoner that
he became insane, tearing his scorched
clothing off. He dashed himself against
the bars and grabbed the red-hot irons in the
vain effort to escape. An odor of burned flesh
pervaded the air, and made many of the
people sick. Frantically cursing the crowd
for not helping him, the roasting man
rushed madly around the narrow inclosure
while the spectators stood rooted by horror
to the spot. Gradually his cries grew
weaker and he was seen to sink to the floor
and soon all was over. The prisoner was
Newhall Tyler, 38 years old. He had been
jailed for striking a boy on the head. Tyler
had been on a spree, and the boy had
annoyed him. He fired the prison, hoping
that he would be released thereby.
A.VED RV RUNNING A MILE A MIN UTE.
An Engineer's Race Down a Steep Grade
to Escape a Runaway Train.
A Youngstown, 0., despatch says: Allan
Cowden, a well-known locomotive engineer,
has just had a thrilling experience. While
coming down a steep fournnile grade into
Marquette the train broke in two. Realiz.
ing the danger of a collision, Engineer Cow-
den endeavored to pull away with the cars
that remained with the engine, but the
rear section steadily gained, until the pace
of the flying trains becarne fearful. A
mile out of Marquette be thought of the
ineny men at work in the yard who might
be killed by the runaway train and devised
a plan to save them. Ordering the firemen
to cut loose from the train he crowded on
every pound of steam. As the locomotive
ohot forward he sounded three long blasts
of the whistle, indicating that he wanted to
keep the main track and for the switchman
to send the train on the siding. The
switchman on duty responded, and as the
-engine passed over the frog at a mile a
minute, he turned the lever and the two
elections of the train dashed into the siding
and piled the tars up in an indescribable
mug. . Cowden had flayed his life and that
of his fireman, besides twenty employees
in the yard, but the train was a total
wreck, which, however, it would have been
in any case.

mow a British M. P. Got into Dimeuities
-With Rim Creditors and Kis mistress.
A London cable says: The examination
of Mr. Borlase, ex -Under-Secretary of the
Local Government Board, was continued
in the Bankruptcy Court yesterday. He
admitted having borrowed £1,000 from
Madame de Quirts, who was formerly his
mistress, but he said the money was his
own, end she had airnply restoredit to him.
He had never promised to settle 21,500 upon
her. She asked him, he said, for 2500
down and 41,500 a year, saying that she
was going to get the same amount out of
another man. He dined at her house after
borrowing the £1,000, when she tried to
murder him. After getting the sum men-
tioned he borrowed £2,700 from her, giving
his acceptance for that amount. He heard
afterward that this money had been given
to her by another man. Mr. Borlase said
that his average income was £2,000, and
that his money had been largely expended
in political life for elections, dinner parties,
etc. Ever since be entered Parliament he
had been involved in financial troubles.
The farther hearing of the case was
adjourned.
REMARRABLE RELIGIOUS TRIAL.
Men and Women Who Lived in a Nude
Condition—Good Subjects for Hypnot-
ization.
A London cablegram says: The Chronicle
gives a strange account of a trial in Tolax,
a village in Malaga, Spain, of some reli-
gions fanatice of strange practices. They
originally went naked like Adam and Eve
before their fall, but the authorities inter-
posed. Since then they have inflicted
wounds upon themselves in imitation of
the crucifixion, and burnt all their goods,
believing a higher power would provide
food. When put on trial they were hyp-
notized in court by rnedica, specialists like
Irving in "The Bells," and proved good
subjects. It is even alleged that, on being
ordered to perspire, they broke out into a
profuse perspiration. Others, pricked With
pins, gave no sign of pain. This is the
flret time such a scene has happened in a
court of justice in Spain. The probable
result of the trial will be a nominal pun-
ishment.

father of the youth is a retired captain of
dragoons end his mother is aa dist
tinguished Scotch family, a member of
which, for nig services in the Indian
mutiny, was raised to dite House of Peers.
Three ;months ago die young heir was in.
troduced at the close ef a boating excursion
by the private secretary of his father to e
barmaid aged between 21 and 22, at a wine
and spirit vault in Stourbridge, whom t,he
secretary pronounced "the prettiest girl
in England." It was an affair of " ioye
at first eight," and the young fellow de-
clared he would never marry anyone else. A friendship sprang up,
and family entreaties 'inn threats were
alike in vain. The young man declared
that if his wishes were thwarted he would
end his life with a revolver. At this tinie
hp was on a vacation from his college at
Cirencester. The family communicated
with the detective police of Birmingham,
and for weeks past private detectives have
watched the barmaid's movements night
and day. She is the daughter of a poulterer
lilting in Wolverhampton. Detectives,
solicited], and clergymen have also visited
the girl's home on behalf of the family to
try to obtain information of the heir's
venereabouts, for it was ,diseovered that he
had run away from college. Very little in-
formation was, however, forthcoming, and,
though one interview was secured at the
hotel between the young man and his
naother, the only result was his declaration
that if he were taken by force he would be
taken home on a stretcher. Authenticnews
was received on Sunday that the couple had
eloped and had been married at, it is be-
lieved, a country church near Liverpool.
The bride has herself communicated this in-
formation and has asked for forgiveness. The
young heir's family are naturally greatly
concerned. The young fellow has, during
the latter part of theproceedings, backed up
hie independence by putting forward "hie

family. An attempt to secure a special

be informed the young lady that their en-
gagement must be cancelled. This
happened last Sunday night. He
called on Miss Lloyd at Dr.
Rieser's and said be would not marry bar.
This was in the parlor. The young lady
was laboring under a high state of excite-
ment, and she handed Potter a gime filled
with dark liquid and asked him to take a
drink of wine. He refuaed in alarm. Be
refused a second time. She then pulled his
handkerchief from his pocket and with her
left hand held it over hie eyes, and dashed
the glass, which was full of vitriol, into
Potter's fece. Frenzied with pain he
rushed into the kitchen, washed his face
and hurried out toward his home. He got
no further than a neighboring restaurant,
when a doctor was called. Since then he
has been confined to his room. The doctor
was with him thee hours thie day. Potter

quite melancholy and does not know the

being that it is one of those names of
Teutonic origin, like Humberto, Alfonzo,
Grimaldi or Garibaldi, so common in
northern Italy, which testify to the Gothic
or Lombard conquest. Americ, which oc-
curs as early as 744 A.D., is probably et
contracted form of the name Amalaric,
borne by a king of the Visigoths, who died
in 531. A Bishop Emrich was present at
the council of Salisbury in $07, and Ameri-
cus Balistaurius is mentioned in the Close
Rolls (thirteenth century). It has been
conjectured that the stem is int, from which
we get the name of Emma. The meaning
of this is not known with certainty, though
Ferguson thinkenit may denote "strife" or
"noise." Since, however, the name is
probably of Gothic origin, and since the
Amalungs were the royal race of the
Ostragoths, it ie more likely that the stem
is canal, Which was formerly. thought to
mean "without spot," but IS now more
plausibly connected with the old Norse and,
labor, work. The suffix rie, cognate with
re,, reichand rick, means rich" Or " power-
ful," and, therefore, the most probable sig-
nification of Anierigo is "strong for labor."
