never yet been calculated. If the drift

I'M COMING, MOTHER.
The Thrilling Experience ofh 4.Year
Old Eighty Feet in Mid-Air.


San francisco Chronicle.
In San Jose, California, not many days
age, one Mis-. Wi liam Kennedy was IN Ak
ing anxious search for her little 4 year
old, curly headed son who had disappear
ed for the moment from the family door
yard. Hurry ing through the streets,
looking and inquirlng fer the little run
away, her attention was directed to a
crowd of peop'e who vera gazing white
and silent with awe, at a huge wind
mill tank, against which a long ladder
was leaning. The eyes of the woman fol
lowed the gaze Of the crowd, and this is
what she raw: Eighty feet from the
ground, holding IN by his chubby legs
and one arm, could be seen the little fell
low, extending his free hand toward some
pigeons that were perched almost within
his reach.
His awful peril had stunned and stilled
the helpless group bensa'h, which now
parted as the mother came swiftly tow ara
the scene. Then her firm. quiet voice
was heard raised that the child might
hea Come down, Carl, and anm
will iveIyou;a peach The child heard,
and looking over his shoulders perceived
his mother. Instantly he began to de-
scend, carefully clirging, round byround,
and as he neared tho last, he smiled at
the upturne1 face of his o her and said:
'Im comirg, mother" and In another
moment was i'll her arms. And then that
crowd separated into small PARTIES of one
each, and melt I'D into the distance, leav-
ting behind them only an indistinct mem
ory of moistened eyes and fiut eriug

A heavy dealer in hides in the
"Swamp" says that there has been .
decided change within year or two
in the business. 1T is now a rare case
where tanner buys ahead of his
wants Hides are subject to sudden
fluctuation. and formerly many tanners
were accustomed to take advantage of
falling market to overstock them
selves. This was considered a good
thing to the importer, who rapidly got
rid of his goods; but it frequently re-
suited disastrously in good custom
er' s having to haul in his horn, and
be poor buyer some time" The
present cautious policy he considers
best for all concerned.

The average msple-sugar crop OF
Vermont is about 100000 pounds.
This year the crop will exceed the av-

pounds. 1t is worth to the farmers of
the state more than $1,000, 900, and is
harvested before their season of plant
ing begins. Vermont produces about
one-third of the annual maple-sugar
crop of the country.

1t is now regarded as certain that a
strict state supervision of telephone
companies will come out of the present
agitation of the subject in Massachu-
setts. Indiana has already passed
such a regulating law, and other
States will doubtless follow in short
time. The ground taken is that tele
phone companies, like railroads, are
public institutions, and common carri-
ers of commercial values.

A CITY BURNED.

ASP1nWau, Panama, Destroyed by In
The following dispatch from Com
mander Kane, of the Galena, was re-
ceived on the LIST by the secretary OF
the navy: "Aspinwall is in ashes.
The city was burned by the insurgents
to escape capture by the government
troops. The Pacific Mail dock, rail
road property on the north end of the
island, and the canal property at
Crispol are the only buildings saved.
The shipping is safe. I have all my
force on shore protecting property
My ship is crowded with refugees
Thousands are destitute and without
shelter.''
Later in the day the following was
received from Panama: "Communi.
cation with Colon, or Aspinwall, is re-
opened. The force sent from here at
tackled Preston on the afternoon OF
the 3Oth ult., and drove back small
outpost. On the morning of the 31st
the fight in the town of Colon com.
menced. Cannon were used and the
firing was heavy. While the fight was
in progress a fire, tho origin Of which il
not yet known, broke out in the town
Preston, when he saw that defeat was
inevitable, made his escape. Many o1
his men were killed or captured. The
town by this time was in flames
Everything was swept away savea few
OF the Panama Railroad buildings, or
the north beach. All the railroads
wharves, except the Pacific Mail Com
pany's, were burned, and all the rail
road company's books were lost. The
canal company saved it's books and
100000 in specie. All the cars or
the tracks were destroyed. The new
town OF Christopher Columbus es
capped the f1ames.''

Il REIGN OF TERROR.
The Bitter and Bloody Feud That Gre,
Out of an Election Quarrel.

Out of an Election Quarrel.
A special from Morehead, KY, re-
ports that Rowan County is expert
encing reign of lawlessness. Aquar-
rel which arose last August over the
election Of sheriff, has grown into g.
most bitter feud, which has already
caused several tragedies. The trouble
being a political one, one side or the
other has been espoused by nearly
every citizen of the county. A short
time ago adeputy sheriff was killed, the
county attorney waylaid and wound
ed, and other authorities have fled
the country. Since the murder of
Deputy Sheriff Baumgardner, there has
been no county government. The
county judge, sheriff, marshal and dep
uties have all gone. The county clerk,
Maj. Casey, a non-combatant and
non-partisan, is the only one left and
he has received two or three warnings
that he had better go. Armed bands
OF men patrol the country and make
regular visits to Morehead. At any
moment a collision is looked for, and
scenes of the Breathitt war may be
reenacted. The trouble comes from
the election of sheriff. John Martin,
the Republican candidate, received a
majority of eleven votes. There was
some trouble over this between him
and a man named Tolliver. A short
while ago Tolliver met an old man
named Martin, a relative of the sher-
if, in a saloon. Tolliver shot him.
Afterward witnesses swore that the
killing was done by the sheriff, and the
trouble kept on growing till Baum
| gardner was shot.
