with longing eyes as the cook would come out OF

out the chickens, and seeing the cooks shoes

A GIRLS HORRIBLE DEATH.
Struck by a Locomotive While Crossing
River Bridge and Both Legs Cut Off.

Mary Nolin q domestic employed in the family
Of George Baxter, in West Indianapolis, met
horrible death yesterday afternoon. while COM
ing to the city TO visit friends. The people she
had started to visit live in the southern part
of the city, and instead of coming to the city by
way Of Morris street she walked around the
Belt railroad, intending to cross White river on
the railroad bridge. The bridge is not safe for
pedestrians to cross, and at each end is a sign
warning persons to keep off of it, but Miss Nolin
had crossed it before and believed there was
danger
just after she had entered the bridge through
Indianapolis e. St. Louis freight train came in
sight from behind her. The train was running
at very rapid speed. and she was overcome
with fright that she made effort to reach
either end Of the bridge, but stood still in the
center of the track. The engineer of the locomo-
tive tried to stop il, but the distance was too
short, and the woman crushed beneath the
wheels of the train. Both her legs were cut en-
tirely of. and her body was badly bruised. She
was removed to St. Vincents hospital by Elan
& Buchanan. where she died in short time.
She was twensy-four years of age. and 50 far

Indications that the Depth Is Gradually
Growing Less.

Growing Less.
Cleveland (o.) Special.
From observations made along the entire
chain OF lakes the startling discovery has been
made that the surface of all the great inland
seas has been lowered nearly foot and a half
during the past year. The attention of vessel
men was first drawn to the fact that the water
was going down last fall. when numerous and
inexplicable instances of vessels grounding
were reported. From the middle to the close OF
the past season of navigation owners and mas
were troubled by the low stage of the water
Heavy bills OF expenses in releasing grounded
vessels and consequently costly delays were
borne by owners. Complaints were made OF IN
expressed doubt in several cases where veseels
touched bottom, especially in the Detroit river
and Lake ST. Clair. They declared that 1t was
i'm possible for such an accident to occur. as the
depth of water greater than the draught of
the boats. But the groundines continued until
the close of navigation, causing much annoy
auce. Recent investigation reveals the cause or
all this trouble. and news from the upper lakes
adds further signs of bad times ahead TOT
leviathan carriers. From nearly every point
comes the report that the water Is lower than
was ever known before.
The government harbormaster at Sand Beach,
Mich, where an i'm mense harbor of refuge IS To-
Gated. reported: "The water is sixteen inches
lower than it was year ago at this time, and IS
two feet lower than it was last July" At Sault
Ste. Marie. where the government canal afford
ing entrance into Lake Superior is located. re-
porIs say thai the water Is very low, duo ooaeS
drawing over thirteen and half feet will not be
able to get through by the time navigation
opens. This is a very serious matter, not only
for the vessel owners but for coal dealers, grain
mon. iron manufacturers, and every branch or
industry connected with the lake marine It
means that boats will not be able to carry any
where near their maximum capacity next sea-
son. and that all classes of freight will be higher
than usual. The cause of this remarkable state
Of affairs is mystery. Whether some immense
subterranean outlet has suddenly been afforded
for the vast body of water, whether the trlb-
utarv streams have been affected by drought Is
