END OF THE SECOND NIGHTS CHAPTER
OF HORROR
The mob is rapidly dispensing. The
streets about the court house are no
longer obstructed and the firemen are
playing on the court house ruins. An
occasional shot is heard, but no more
mischief is expected this morning.
The taking of the brass pieces from
the rioters from Kentucky rendered it
impossible for anything farther TO be
accomplished toward taking the Jail
tonight.
MORE TROUBLE FEARED To DAY.
The rioters are very sullen, and
more trouble may occur this after
noon or tonight. The killing of so
many people has incensed a great
number to such degree that they
may join the mob if another outbreak
occurs. The people who are still on
the streets are very tired after two
nights of such tumult and excitement
and but little Is now said The burn
ing Of the court house no one had for
moment considered possible. 1t is
a calamity second only to tho loss of
50 many lives It is an awful les
son.
A Cincinnati dispatch Of the 31st,
gives the list of killed and wounded
during the two days and three nights
of the riot. The total number of kill
ed is Is and the total wounded is 150
1t is believed that many more slightly
wounded have kept TIE fact concealed
The scenes at the hospitals and at the
morgue are heartrending IN the eX-
treme, men, women and children
weeping and wriaging their hands as
they search among the dead and
wOumded for missing friends and re

The Geological. Station at Naples.
Philadelphia Record
America has 20 Institution TO com
pare with the famous geological station
founded at Naples by Dir Dohrn. Sit
uated in the center Of the Villa RealG,
the park of Naples, still the largest
city in Italy, iii a sub-tropical climate
and on the shore OF a sea rich in all
forms of life, the Naples Geological
Station will probably long oy the first
in efficiency, as it was the first IN
time, Of the geological stations of the
world. Into lis foundation Dr. Anton
Dohrn placed all his fortune and that
of his wife The Italian government
gave the site, yet the expenses were
so great that Dr.. Dohrn'S resources
were exhausted and the scheme might
have proved Il failure had not the
German government, inspired by the
enthusiasm of man who had sacrl-
feed so much for the cause of science,
come to his assistance Darwin and
the late Prof Balfour each gave
s.. 600 to assist it. and the Berlin acad-
emy has recently given is 600 marks
toward the purchase of steamers for
dredging purposes This institution
is not for beginners, but for inveSti-
gators Each worker has his separate
table, with the necessary chemicals
and a supply Of alcohol free. Near
at hand are two or three small aquaria,
each with water running constantly
through il. lie states in what depart
ment he wishes to investigate, and
every morning is supplied with living
material fresh from the sea; for III
connection With the institution is a
corps of fishermen. with boats for
fishing and dredging of shore and in
shallow water. while the steamers Jo-
hannes Muller and Frank Balfour are
ready for work in deeper water.
Most European countries hold 50
called table there, with the
privilege of sending pupil
to occupy it. The fee for such
table Is $500 Italy holds three tables.
Russia two Great Britain two, while
Belgium, Holland, Hungary, Switzer-
land, Baden and Saxony have one
each. Austria has It's own geological
station at Trieste, but Prussia holds
no less than seven tables, besides one
which belongs to the Berlia Academy.
France has her own two geological
stations, Que at Roscotf, in Brittany,
the other at Banyuls-sul- Mer. Den
mark also has station. while the alb
sence OF Spaia and Portugal from the
patrons of the institution Is explained
by the lack of biologists in those
countries. While so many small
countries have a table reserved to
themselves, America had none until
last year, when, ten years after the
station was established. table was
taken in the name of Williams Col
lege. Yet American students have been
welcomed at Naples. and DR. Dohrn
has on more than one occasion ALLOW
ed taem TO study for considerable
time free of charge. The study OF life
in general has most I'M portant bearings
upon human life, and 1t is scarcely to
the credit of this great country that it
has allowed such small nationalI,!es
as the Swiss and the Saxons to outshine
it in the use made of an institution
devoted to so noble purpose
The unprecedented severity of the
floods of the Ohio valley during the
past few years has been attributed to
the increased acreage of new-drained
land in the watershed of that river.
Perhaps in no part of the country has
there been so much attention paid to
the modern methods OF drainage as in
Ohio and Indiana As result water
reaches the streams much more rapid
ly than it otherwise would, and great
floods result. Ii this reasoning be
correct, annually increasing spring
floods must be expected and provided
against.
