The Kinsey Case. The body of Harry Kiuscy. the Bur lington brakeman who was killed at ai; earlv hour yesterday morning some where between Crete and Sutton, was brought to this city this morning and taken to the undertaking rooms of Kob- erts Palmer, 212 North Eleventh treet. It is as yet difficult to say whether or not lie was struck by the bridge. His skull was crushed exactly on top of the head, and the cut shows that the blow must Jiave come from front.

His face, however, is bruised alwut the temple and cheek, showing that lie must have fallen on his tare a lanilest contradiction. lie was lound i ton of one of the hiirh furniture cars. which are elevated from two to two anda hah" feet above the ordinary box car. Several trainmen who were interviewe I state emphatically that for a man of Kinsey's height, 5 feet 0 inches, even if mounted on a furniture car it would be impossible for him to be hit by the bridge at Crete, which is a high wagon bridge. One man about height says that he has often stood on top of a furniture car while passing under the bridge, and found it impossible to even touch it with his outstretched hand.

On the other band it is said that the Northwestern and Kock Island furniture cars are verv much higher than the ordinary cars of that pattern, and if he had been standing on one'of them, he miirht have been hit. The cut shows that it must have been caused by something sharp. Kinsey had not been working for some time having had several lingers on his left hand mashed while coupling. This was bis second trip since going back to work. He was known to all the railroad men as George Emery, and it is presumed that he has.worked under this alias lccaiise lie ma' have at one time been discharged from the service under the name of Kinsey.

He has worked for the company latterly about seven months. The funeral of the deceased will take place from the family residence, 1504 ine street, at 2 o'clock tomorrow after- Two of Actor Florence's Jokes. Thronjrh Sothern Florence came to know the Duke of Beaufort, and they were excellent frieDds. Beaufort came to this country and was at the Gilsey House a good while. Florence enlivened Ins stay by several jokes, which were the talk of the tovrn at the time.

He told the duke that he was not looking well. "You need violent exercise," said be. "Now, I was troubled as you are. I used to strip to my underclothing, and taking heavy chair in my bands would run about my rooms, raising and lowering the chair a hundred times without stopping. It had a grand effect." Florenoe insisted Upon this for several days and got the duke into a mind for trying it.

ODe afternoon, when several eminent persons were going to call on the duke, Florence persuaded him to try the great remedy. The duke undressed, and seizing a great chair he elevated it above his head and began racing around the room. He was soon in a fine swc.it, with bis eyes bulging, his face red and his veins standing out. Florence went to th office, and when the eminent and dignified persons arrived he said to oac oi them he know. "Goinc up to sec his grace?" said 1h man.

Y'. NO WHALE FOR THREE YEARS. Dismay of the People on Southern Lone Island Over Losing Pin Money. The Inhabitants of the southern shore of western Long Island are in dismay lxjcause the third season in which they have caught no whale is past. They have- usually calculated on about one good sized whale a season, and they have for many years relied on it.

Some of the institutions of the country are arranged on the supposition of the whales keeping up their average. Among other thiug3, the minister's salary is partially dependent upon the capture of a whale. But now three seasons have gone by without the appearance of one, and that source of comfortable pin money (if thut term can be used in so incongruous a connection) threatens to become obsolete. In the good old da3's when whales came that way there would often be $1,200 to $1,500 to divide among the seaside peoplo. The retired sea captains who lived In ease and dignity on that coast built their houses with broad observation towers on the roofs, and spent! a large part of their time upon them with their spyglasses sweeping the horizon for whales.

When they saw one the neighborhood was aroused. It didn't take long- to do this, so far as the immediate circle' of those interested was concerned. The church bell was generally rung, and news travels fast in thecountry. There would soon be a good sized crowd gathered on the shore. Then the appointed crew of old, experienced whalers launched their boat, kept in readiness, and if they were successful in haj-poouiug their whale would have him towed in to shore.

Then there was a big blubber trying bee. The "whalehousc" on the shore opened, the big kettle it contained put into requisition, and the whole countryside engaged in a profitable if not very appetizing recreation of cutting up the whale and trying out the blubber, and extracting the whalebone from the head. Then came the division of the spoils. The man who first saw the creature had a certain extra share, and the others divided, while the minister received an exceedingly welcome addition to his stipend. So absorbing is the occupation of look-iug for whales for the "men folks" of the shore settlements that they have a far away, Captain Cuttle look in their eyes all the time; their gaze being bent, not exactly on the coast of Greenland, but on thoss quarters whence whales are generally to be expected.

One grizzled old mariner, who had been spending the declining years of his life Tight on the edge of the water, was one day compelled by exigencies of a domestic nature to move up into the village, back from the water side, and quite inaccessible to views of the ocean. "M' wife got a crazy notion that she'd have to be in the village," querulously explained the old captain to any inquiring visitor, as he sat disconsolately whitling and spitting in the warm sunshine, 'n I had to do what Miranda wanted, though I did make a powerful kick. But it'a a mighty poor place to llve. "Convcnient to the store? Oh, yes, 'n to church, 'n that. But it's way back from the water, 'n it's so cluss 'u dusty, 'n they make such an infernel racket" and here the Captain Cuttle look caiue into his eyes as lie added the chief clause in his indictment of village life "and you can't see a whale nor nuthin, if there should be one." New York Tribune.

A Remarkable Relic. For the last 000 years there has been preserved in the Cathedral of Genoa an emerald vase of hexagonal shape. Its principal diameter measures 12J inches and its height iuches. This article is secured under several locks, the keys which are in different hands. It is but rarely exhibited in public, and that only on a decree of the senate.

When brought out for exhibition the vessel is slung to the neck of the officiating priest by mains of a cord fastened to both its handles, and he never allows it to pass cut of his hands. Bv an ancient. of May l-JTH, it is forbidden lo touch the vase or go too n-ir it.

I understood welt, when it came up to me mewing, what tho sound meant. Sometimes the kitten wanted to come up and sleep in my lap: at other times it was asking me to play with it. When, at my meals, it jumped on my knees, turned round, looked at mo and spoke in-a coaxing way, it was asking for something to eat. When its mother came up with a mouse in her jaws, her muffled and low toned mew informal the little one from a distance and caused it to spring and run up to the game that brought to it. The cry is always the same, but varied in the strength of the inflections and in its protraction, so as to represent the various states of mind with which my young aui-mal is moved.
