Dynamite will have an important
part in the worlds next great war, and
foreign diplomatists, as we'll as Ameri-
can military; experts, regarded with
much interest the test of dynamite pro-
jectiles which took place on the banks
of the potomac, near Washington, un-
der the direction of the Senate
Military Committee. Much doubt has
been entertained as to the possibility
of safely firing from a cannon dyna-
mite projectile of sufficient power to
destroy first class ship of war, but it
is said that one of the six-inch shells
used would have sunk any unarmored
ship aaoat and severlv racked the heav-
lest ironclad. Eight.inch shells, con-
tanning thirty-f pounds of nitro-gly-
cerine, are soon to be tested, and it is
believed that the new engine of war
will lie irresistible, whatever the
strength of an enemy's fleet. Its pro.
duction may simplify the problem of
the defence of our seacoast, and the
latest developments confirm the con-
yiction that this nation may, at the ex-
.pense Of less than its average annual
surplus of revenue in recent years.
make It's harbors impregnable to the
assault Of any foreign power. i

ADouble Tragedy In st. Paul.

HIS dead body was found lying by the dead
apartments at No. 314 East Seventh street, over

then made way with himself
- Years ago H W. Kellogg was merchant in

Something over year ago Kellogg came to
restaurant, made some money, lost it all, and
a short time ago failed in business He was
infatuated with Mrs. Barrette, and would haunt
her rooms continually. Recently she called
on Dr. Westlake and told him that Kellogg had
threatened to kill her and then shoot himself.

was forty five years old, and had family con-
sisting of wife and five children-one son,
twenty-one years old, living at Knapp, Wis.
He was not exactly sound in mind, was trou.
bled with insomnia and melancholia, and had
made threats to kill this woman. As yet, no
one knows if he was ever criminally intimate
with her. Mrs. Barrette came to st. Paul
from La Crosse. She was about forty years

Arabs Die But do Not Surrender.

London Telegraph: As at Teb and Tamai,
the wounded Arabs refused to be made prison.
ers, and great caution had to be exercised in
moving about the field, not only to avoid the
covert stabs dealt by the bleeding Arabs, but
the rushes and cuts Of the fanatics who sham
med death in order that they might the more
surely get chance of burying their weapons
in one of us. Exploring along this way par
ty of our men came upon six dead and four
mimosa tree. The soldiers had an in
terpreter with them, and the Arabs were called
upon to surrender and come out That they
said they could not do; would the soldiers
therefore come and take them? The four
wounded men still held their spears in their
hands. Every good, said our soldiers, ssput
down your spears, and we will see you are well
treated, and do all we can to cure your wounds
The answer of the four Arabs came fierce and
concise: s'Put down our spears, infdel
dogs! By God and the prophet, never!"
There was crack OF Martini -Henrys You
can guess the rest 1t was again, as at Teb
and Tamai, almost impossible to take pris-
oners, and we secured but two of their wound
ed alive. The third prisoner 1assisted to bring
in, but he was hardly capture, for the man
gave himself up. He had Remington and
over 100 rounds of ammunition. His story was
that he had been one Of the Berber Egyptian
garrison, and since the fall of that place had
been forced into the Mahdi's army. He was
glad to escape from them, he declared, and
must say the fellow looked cheerful at being
taken A trooper Of the Nineteenth conducted
him to Gen. Stewart He was our one un-
wounded prisoner!

I'm aIss - robbed in Arkansaw:
IN kenl emsn S TIN first exploit are
nov 81 10 penItsntiary. The gentle
msn Of the second fell from an inse-
cure platform, became implicated
with ropes and are now sleeping the
sleep that knows no snore. The last
robbery occurred recently; on the Ar
kapsas Valley route: As the train
was nearing Little Rock; it was
switched from the main track: just
about that time several revolvers
opened up an animated discussion
The passengers thought this was inn
polite: They were in a hurry to get
to town and they couldn't see why
they should be compelled to stop and
listen to a conversation in which none
of them were concerned; but few
moments later they felt financial in
terest in the affair. Several men
boarded the train and remarked:
"Those who have no particular use
for their hands at present will please
elevate them" Then the passengers
began to stretch themselves, although
no one appeared to be sleepy: After
the robbery, it was astonishing to
know how much money the passengers
had lost. The man who had borrowed
three dollars and ten cents just before
the train left Pine Bluff, declared that
the robbers had relieved him of seven
teen hundred and eighty dollars in
currency, draft on st. Louis bank
for twenty-five hundred, large gold
watch and chaln-which being afraid
to wear he had carried in his valice-a
gold pencil and silver Cigar holder.
Another man who had at the supper
station failed to raise enough money to
pay for two swamp biscuits, shoe
maker beefsteak and a cup of expired
coffee, lost the extensive capital with
which he was on his way to open
large wholesale diamond house. None
of the passengers had Tess than four
hundred dollars in notes and some
half peck of silver. Several of them
carried eighteen watches apiece
When the robbers were captured, how
ever, it was shown that only about
seven hundred dollars and few
struggling watches had been taken
from the passengers. This shows how
excited people can become. Train
robbers, after awhile, will learn that
Arkansaw is not the state for their ex-
tensive operations. .-Arkamsav Irav-

A Shrewd Negro.

It has always been thought that ears
of corn have an even number of rows,
and that one with an odd number of
rows would be an utter impossibility.
In slavery times this question was dis
oussed, and negro in Kentucky
claimed that he had seen ears of that
kind His master told him that he
would give him his-the Negroes
freedom for an ear with an odd num-
spring, but in the fall, during corn
gathering time, the negro came with a
sound ear of corn with thirteen rows.
He got his free papers. A long time
afterward the old negro said that in
roaating-ear time he took a sharp
knife, cut out the one row of grains,
bound the corn together, and knew

Wind Against Steam.

E. Vinton Blake contributes capi-
tai story of 1ce-yachting on the Hudson
to the January st. Nicholas, from which
we print the following vivid account Of
a trial of speed between an ice-yacht
and the fast express:
''There is a roar and rush behind
them. What next?
"'The down train! The boys look
over their shoulders as the big black
monster shoots past. The whistle
blows sharply; there are handkerchief
waving from the windows. The ice-
yacht is just now holding nearly across
the river.
ga race! a race, boys! cries the
skipper. as he gives a quick turn of his
hand, and with sheer and a spring
they are off after the train.
''Now the race-the race, boysi
Steam against wind! How they ~
Everything is blurred and melted to!
gether and indistinct. The ice is all
blush white haze, with that diamond
sparkle from the runners blazing up.
''The windows OF the train are filled
with heads: they seem to shout at the
party on the ice-yacht, who hear only
the rush and roar Of the wind and the
runners. The wind increases; the
boat rears higher; the windward run.
ner cuts fiercely through the air, and
the crushed ice flies in a shower. AL
most up with the train, now; and
creeping on!
"Will the wind hold? But never
fear; this is no flaw, but steady gale.
It seems as if the black train were
slowing up; yet not is the yacht
which is flying faster, literally on the
wings of the wind. And now-a crack
in the ice ahead! Il
'The skipper raises himself and
scans the ice with eager eye. An old
hand at ice-yachting is he.
"'We can do it, I think he says.
''Now, brave 'Rondina!' And the
train sees the crack, too; the cars
seem alive all their long length with
heads and gestures and warning
shouts. Do they think everybody Is
asleep there on that light, fying,I
feathery wandererp
''The upper edge of the crack Isl
higher by full six inches than the
lower; and between swirls the black
treacherous water. They are upon It.
''Whiz!-Splash!-as the edgeice
sags and the runner catches the cold
tide. There is wild, tremulous swing
and sway, toss of the windward run;
ner, and the crack is far astern. How
the train cheers! And look, now. the
black, snorting engine falls behind!
Wind against steam! Give them three
cheers, boys, and swing your caps, and
hold fast while you are about it. The
track is clear ahead; the locomotive
whistles and snorts and shouts in wild
salute at the yachts victory. Faster.
-faster,-till there is only the ring Of
the runners, the roar and rush of thd
wind, the tremble and leap and swing
and sway Of the wayward craft. y 4
