the soil, depressing effect on the alb
soption of ammonia and potassa. Prof.
Tuxen says that they convey these con-

the earth, and prevent their appropria-
ton by the arabic layer. On the other
hand, phosphoric acid is retained in the
soil to a greater extent in the presence
of sodium and potassium salts.

An Ola Claim Il ANled.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE House
to, day PASSED the bill for the relief OF
heirs OF the owners, officers and crew OF
the private-armed brig General Arm
strong, which was abandoned TO prevent
capture by the British, September q,
1914. This claim has been before the
government i'll one form or other for
slxty-tive years, and the only heir of
the claimants, MIR. Samuel c. Reid, OF
ot. Louis, accompanied by his wife and
children, was it The House gallery TO-
day when the bill was finally put
through.
Director Holman strove with all the
power at his disposal to prevent its pas
sage, but the claim was too just to find
anyone, except Mr.. Holman, to oppose
it. Previous Congresses have mad the
matter under consideration, but al
though one House would pass 1t for
some reason it would fail when it reach.
Ell the other. Now, however, it has run
the gauntlet of both houses and goes to
the President for hlssignature.
When its success was secured Mrs.
Reid, the wife of the surviving claimant
could not restrain her tears, and, sur
rounded by her children, hastily vaca.
ted the gallery to receive the congratula
lions of her friends.
Her only remark to them was: "Well,
the bill has passed at last and we ought
to be happy" The amount involved in
the claim reaches S7O,739, having been
prov cd before the Court OF Claims. The
event from which the claim alos is most
creduable to the yalor ana skill OF
American seamen, and in its remoter
influences probably gave victory to
the American arms at New Orleans by
delaying the British fleet intended to
assist in the capture of the city, by
which General jackson was enabled to
reach the city and save it.

Used groom had left the city. He was
subsequently, arrested on the charges
named above, and concluded that the
| Lest way out of the trouble was to marry
the young lady, whom, he said he really
loved.

confessing the theft of sixteen yards of
satin.
1t is said that the young woman OBJ.
tanned the goods to make wedding
dress ana was duly charged with its

and o Man Hurt.
Shortly after II O'Clock last night an
alarm of fire WAS sounded from box, No.
10, located at Sixth and Spruce streets.
The cause of the alarm was the burn
ing of two frame houses on the south
side of Kirkwood street, between Sew
enLh and Eighth, and occupied by The
families of Stevenson and Richardson,
both colored. 1t is supposed that tht
fire was accidentally caused by persons
who were engaged in fumigating the
house, as q son of Mr.. Richardson hao
lust recovered from the small pcx, and
the house was being cleansed at night
Both houses were so badly damaged
that it is thought they will have to be
torn down. They were owned Mr.. j
3. Kindell, and are fully insured. Dur
ing the progress of the fire the family
in which the small pox lately existed,
were compelled to remain in vacant
lot near by, az the people in the vicinity
were 10th to offer them shelter for
fear of the dread disease About $50
o'clock this morning the fire again broke
out, but was soon extinguished.
In responding to the last alarm the
Water Witch carriage was considerably
damaged and will be out OF service Tor
some time The accident was caused
by the men losing control of the car
riage, while going down Seventh street
hill and the carriage went into a tree,
breaking the iron perch and doing other
damage. A man named John Meeney,
sprained his ankle while running the
carriage. -.
The goods were still on the lot at II
o'clock this morning, and the owners
were making an effort to remove them
in an old ice cart.
