The Charge Of cannibalism.

Washington Special: The terrible tale Of
the experiences of the party in their canvas
hut during the winter of 1884 has been the one
topic of conversation in naval circles here,
and there is q general belief that although the
horrible story of human butchery which was
published may not be true in all its allegations
The worst side OF their life in the Arctic during
that period has yet to be made pub
lie. The attitude assumed by Commander
Schley and the other officers of the
r~escuing party certainly gives color to this
belief. While some of them were inclined to
be communicative when questioned ON the
subject to-day by reporters, most of them
were reticent. Commander Scheley, when ap-
preached by our correspondent, was not at
all in a communicative mood.
Don't bothar me with your questioning"
he said, "for I will have nothing to commu-
nlcate to the public till the story is told
at the official investigation. There is no
truth IN the story at all-none whatever.
If the survivors of the party ate the
flesh of thei, dead comrades, I know
nothing whatever about it. Did 1 know
of anything of the kind having been done, I
should refuse to crafty a morbid curiosity and
create a sensation out of the sad misfortunes
of these mon by disclosing any knowledge to
any but the proper authorities. Men in such
% situation lost tlleir reason and are not strict
ly human beings. Starvation reduces mon
to brutes pretty rapidly, and they will resort to
means of sustaining life whicht to us would seem
appalling. If you and | were reduced to such
q state that one must eat the other or both die,
then it is proper that only the fittest should
survive"

Rattlesnake Jake's Death.

From the Portland Oregonian.
On Big Spring creek, in Meagher county, a
few days go, Rattlesnake Jake and his partner
o'Fallon, two desperadoes and reputed horse
thieves, attempted to run a small place called
Lewiston, and meeting with some opposition
they declared they would clean out the town,
and commenced shooting al everybody in sight.
There were only three guns in the town and
they were placed in tho hands of men of I'M
daunted courage, who used them with such
good effect that both of the supposed horse
thieves were run down in a short time, ORAL
lon being shot first, through and through with
Winchester rifle, and Rattlesnake served in o
like manner a short time afterward. Both
mon showed greatpluck. o'Iallon, after be-
ing shot through, rode back to Ills partner
and asked him if he was hnrt. Jake said that
he was. "Well," said O,Fallon, 81 am shot
and l am a dead man, but l will stay with YOU"
AT that moment he fell from his horse, thon
raised himself upon his knees, took deliberate
Smith, an outsider, who was trying to get
away from the %fracas, and shot him through
the head, killing him instantly.
The citizens saw that there would be moro
men killed if the thing was not ended quickly
and shooting of pistols of all sizes commenced
in earnest. o'FSallon took five shots in the
body before he fell the second time and then
he raised himself on his side and continued
shooting until no had not strength enough to
support himself, and after lying down he kept
shooting as long as there was life in him.
Rattlesnakc Jake, after he was shot through
the body, kept shooting; then his right arm
was broken by a ball and he changed to his
left hand and kept shooting; another ball
broke his left leg and, supporting himself by
the othor, kept shooting; another ball struck
his chin, carrying away half his jaw, when he
fell on the ground, raised himself on his side
and kept shooting. From weakness he cOull
not support himself any longer and he fired
lying flat on the ground. There were nine
balls in him before he gave up. Just before
he drew his last breath he made an effort to
draw his pistol again, but had not strength
enough, and it fell by his side.

Talk About Earthquakes.

Maj. j. w. Powell, of the geological survey
at Washington, talked thus about earthquakes,
Earthquakes in the eastern portion of the
United States have been comparatively infre-
quent and mild. The most important was that
in the Mississippi valley known as. the New
Madrid. A late earthquake in Western Neva-
da made a fracture about two hundred miles
long, and the displacement varied from five to
seventy-ive feet The western portion of the
United States, from the farther border of the
plains to the Pacific, is q region of many
and great earthquakes. 1t has also been
in very recent geologic times a region
of great volcanic activity. Thousands of
now dead volcanoes are scattered over
the Thee. country IN X. and md vast Ell laya I'll fields G;.r cover large q
the margin of an earthquake fracture, and &C.
ologists have moro than once %prophesied that
it will be destroyed by an earthquake. Geolo-
gists have concluded from the consideration of
a great variety of facts that the interior of the
earth is in o fluid condition, due to pressure
and great heat. We penetrate from the sur
face toward the interior of the earth by mines
and by boring for artesian wells and other pur-
poses. The temperature is found to increase
at such a rate THAT a degree of heat would soon
melt. Secondly, a vast number of volcanoes
is distributed widely over the earth, through
the rents of which enormous quantities ST
molten rock are poured out on the surface of the
earth, showing that a vast reservoir of mol
ten matter exists beneath the crust Thirdly,
it is known, experimentally, that all rocks
would be crushed and caused to flow by the
pressure of q few miles of superintendent
rock. Now, to understand the cause of an
earthquake we must appreciate that a compar-
atively thin crust rests upon a vast fluid. The
next thing to be considered is that all the land
pOrtiOns of the earth is raOilly beinp transpOrt-
ed to the sea by rains and rivers. Thus the
land areas are being nnloaded and ocean bor-
ders are weighed down This loading of SEQ
borders and unloading of land areas upon a
crust which rests upon fluid sets up enormous
strains, but they accumulate until at last suffi-
Gent stress Is established to cause fracture and
displacement through the miles of solid crust.
When such a rupture occurs an earthquake is
the result All earthquakes in regions where
volcanoes do not exist are thus caused by
strains due to the degradation of some portion
of the continent, and the loading of the mater
ial upon some other portion of the continent

A S-omnambuhst's Danger,

The Cleveland Leader Of Monday says:
While one of the through expresses was stand
ing in the Union Depot last night IN old gentle
man in partial dishabille climbed down from
one of the steps Of the sleeper, and started to
walk across the tracks. His eyes were open,
but glarcd %yacantly about, although he appar-
out of the depot. He had walked about half
way across the track when a young man rushed
out of the car and caught him by the arm. The
younger gentleman was minus his coat and
shoes, and his toilet had evidently been a hasty
one. He led tho old gentleman back to the car,
which he entered without a word. "Father is
a s~omnambulist," explained tho young man,
as he stepped from the platform of the car,
"and frequently walks iii his sleep. Ho re,
it is never safe to leave him alone even at
home. He had Just lain down in his berth
and l had lmost fallen asleep myself. He is
just as likely to wander out of tho car and down
he is when it is standing still" But few pas
sengers were in the depot at the time, and the
occurrence was not noticed by more than a half
dozen.

A Brother Unknowtngly Assaults His
Slater.

Ayoung lady, the daughter of a highly respec-
ted merchant of Hackensack, N. j., had occasion
to visit some friends about thrce-quartersof q
mile distant from her own home. At about 8
o'clock sho started on her way home. When
about midway between her friends house
and her ewn, the young woman was suddenly
seized from behind, and while one of her as
~sailants (for there we're two) p%inioned her
arms, the other placed his hand over her
mouth to prevent an outcry. Thus handi-
capped the girl was unable to defend herself and
was dragged into the bushes She had scarce
ly been thrown to the ground, when tho moon
broke through the clouds and a terrible dis
covery was made. ooh, brother, spare mes
the girl cried, and then tainted. ''My God,"
calculated the horror-stricken young man, cit
is my ~sister!!' Then he sank down beside her
on the grass and cried like a child. 1t was
some time before the young lady returned to
consciousness, and when she did a neighbor
stood beside her, and when she was able to
stand, accompanied her to her home. Tho
young woman, upon arriving home recounted
the particulars of the terrible ordeal through
which she had passed to her parents, but care
fully, in order to shield her brother, concealed
the facts of the horrible discovery she had made.
Both of the young men have heretofore been
highly respected, and it it is thought they were
under the influence of liquor at the time.

osstrus.av. Fir. ., Aae,s, ,esaa.

Nearly all the business portion Of Anoks,
Mimi, was destroyed by fire on Saturday
morning. The flames started abouttwo o'clock
roller skating rink and when first seen were
spreading up the hill toward the high school.
The efforts of fremen and volunteers to mar.
row the course of the oonfagration were un-
ay . Every piece Of wood, every box and
as a bone, and instantly caught fire as the
flaming current approached.
Ihe fire showed no signs Of stopping as long
as there was anything for it to feed on, and it
cut a clean swath to the river, taking in it's
course the magnificent Washburn Touring mills
al a building, and four score buildings,
some of them finer buildings than are usually
to be seen in such a small city as this. There
was no partial damage except to one building
AS Anoka now looks there is a wide level gap
from the bridge north to the court house, OK
copt the standing ruins of the First National
Bank, the Opera House block and the tall,
round chimney of the Lincoln mill. A rough
estimate of the figures foot up as follows:
Buildings burned, Sc; loss on buildings, $34l,-
Goo; loss on contents, $277, $40. Insurance on
buildings $191 $50; insurance on contents, $l34,-
SO; total loss, $G99, 1870; total insurance, 1916, )
W. D. washburn's loss was roughly estima-
ted by him at s175, GOO, with $145,GD insur-
ance. Thu principal buildings destroyed, be-
sides Mr.. Washburn's are Jackson's Hotel,
Anoka Club House, Anoka Bank, r. Taylor's
store, Bean Il Guderain's store, A. L. Ticknor's
stores; H. L. Plummer's stores; j. A. Foote'S
buildings, skating rink, Postofice Block. OF
these buildings destroyed, IS were OH jackson
street; 1873 OH Maine street; and others on
Monroe street and others, besides those on the
river bank.
Steam engines from St Paul and Min
neapolis were sent by rail to Anoka and
rendered effective service in staying the flames,
though the destruction had been accomplished
previous to their arrival. The Mississippi river,
crossed by q handsome wagon bridge, is ono
mile west of tho city and its tributary, the Rum
river, runs through and pretty equally divides
the corporation through the business portion.
Where the destruction occurred is north of the
Rum. In 1870 Anoka had not more than 1000
inhabitants; now a fair and low estimate is
5000, and with its street cars, electric lights,
and other metropolitan paraphernalia, the city
incorporated Ill 1873 has an air of activity i'm
p%ressive and surprising.

Decline of Wheat in England.

A correspondent of the Country Gentleman,
living it England, notes the gradual decline in
the value of the wheat crop and the necessity
for a change. He says: "Our crops of wheat
for the past nine years AVE been deficient, for
tho acreage produce has been only 2411la
bushels. The main cause of this low average
was the disasterons season of 1879, when tho
crop was estimated at but Is bushels per acre.
The most productive wheat crop of the present
generation was in the hot and dry summer of
1865. Tho difference between tho last harvest
and that of 1868 il very striking indeed, and
it shows in bold relief the changed position of
the farmer. Tho price of whcatof tho former
period was "a shilllngs per quarter, and "a
bushels at that price is el3 l2s per acre. Last
year the average yield is placed at 26 bushels
er would therefore pocket IS It's per acre.
Thus it is plain that wheat cannot be
grown Mt the money, far tho Eng
fish farmer asserts that he cannot grow
wheat at less than about 50 per acre. The de-
crease of wheat cultivation i'll ten years amounts
the quantity of what is now grown athome has
to be imported. More land is being laid down
to grass and the alteration of the times obvi-
ously points in that direction. One result of
the times appears that Il great reduction of rents
is imminent. Many of the large owners arc
granting reductions of rent which range from
10 to 40 per cent. but a reduction of less than
80 per cent is of little avail, and very lately q
number of farmers have sunk under their bur
dens. The agricultural situation would have
been much worse but for the good prices OBJ
tuined for cattle and sheep"
On the point regarding the shipment of store
cattle from the United States he says: tvThe
idea of bringing store cattle from the western
states of America is entertained by some British
farmers, especially those in Scotland, but it
looks somewhat Utopian. 1t is granted that
stores arc too high; then why should not the
British farmer rear and get the high price for
himself. A one-year-old and under pays as
much, counting the value of food consumed,
as a two-year-old or a three-year-old."

The Earthquake at a Funeral.

New York spccial.-on Sunday, during the
funeral of Lewis 1ngler Jr., tho young man
who committed suicide at Alnityville, l. l.,
an extraordinary scene occurred. AS the min
lister was about to kneel in prayer, the shock
of the earthquake shook the house. A large
floor was cracked into from the top to the bot
tom, and the walls of the room were bracked
in two places. The flowers we're shaken from
the coffin and the silver handles at the sides of
the casket ratified. The minister and several
of the mourners tainted. There was a
stampede to get outside and one lady jumped
through an open window and sprained her leg
so that she had to be carried to her home.
The minister was unable to go on with the serv-
ice, and the mourners and others remained
outside while the pall-bearers re-entered the
house and carried the coffin out to the hearse.
A broom handle can be laid into the creacks in
the wall.

One xalf the People Know Very little
About b Other Hall.
From the New York Tribune.
Much surprise has been expressed that
the employees Of Scovil should have
known nothing of his ways of life; that
he should have lived as a rich man for
years without attracting suspicion. But
there is really nothing astonishing III
this, for in all great cities similar things
are continually going on. Business men
as a rule seldom meet their employees
out of business hours, and have no
knowledge of their mode or scale ofliv.
ing. And there are many cases on rec.
ord of defaulters, forgers and embez.
zlers who, though maintaining
costly establishments on their
stolen funds, have kept up for many
years successfully appearances which
ought to have challenged suspicion.
Two of the most prominent of these
cases are those of Robson and Redpath,
the English railway forgers. Both of
these men, though clerks on compara-
lively small salaries, lived most lux
uriously. Both of them gave costly
entertainments, kept horses and car
riages, had town and country houses,
subscribed literally to charities, and in
a word did everything they could do to
attract attention and gain notoriety.
Yet though their profuse style of living
had been going on for years, their en-
ployers knew nothing of it until other
circumstances had aroused their sus-
picions. Robson was the first to be
caught, and the disclosures following
his arrest naturally caused uneasincss
among railroad directors generally.
1t was while this uneasiness prevailed
that n day q certain peer was stand
ing on the platform at q Great North
ern Railway station, talking to the
chairman of the company. just then
Redpath passed and bowed to his chair
a The peer sprang forward and
shook hands warmly with the subordi-
nate. This surprised the chairman,
who asked the peer, "What do you
know of our clerk?" The reply was,
"Hc is a capital fellow, and gives the
DcSG UullS auu entertainments Ill llOu-
DON" That set the chairman thinking,
and the result was the discovery that
this brilliant entertainer, patron of
literature and the fine arts, and gener-
GUS philanthropist, had by forgery
stolen about 81, 500, 600 from the COM
pany. But it was by the merest acct
dent that the facts were brought to
light, and so it has been in plenty of
other cases. The fact is that in great
cities few people knew what their
neighbors are doing and most are too
busy to trouble themselves with in
quiries. The world may be very small,
as it has been the fashion to say of late
years, but great cities still afford con-
ditions Of c%oncealment so complete that
it is necessary to elaborate precautions.
The greater the population the greater
the obsecurity for the majority of the
individuals composing it, is the rule
which governs all such cases. and which
explains what to tho unobserving seems
remarkable.

Axoatau. Mining Sensation.

has been caused here by the sudden and secret
