IMPRISONED IN MEXICO.
George l.. Andrews, Claiming to Hail

in Wichita, Kan.

in Wichita, Kan.
NEW YORK, June IA World spe-
cial from Wichata, Kan, says: George
l.. Andrews, of Toledo, o., now home
ward bound, says that last November
he went to Mexico to recuperate his
health. He stopped at Candelabra, so
miles south of PasO del NOrte. A few
days afterwards he was arrested and
taken before the mayor provincio. He
was ignorant Of the charges against
him, but after the formally of a few
minutes trial he was marched out of
the court and into prison.
he made SEA eral unsuccessful appeals
to Americans t0 secure his release, and
at last he was advised to send word to
the English consul Before he could
do this he was taken down with small
pox, from which he did not recover un-
til January.
About the first of May some English
tourists stopped at the Jail, and he
urged that they place his case in the
hands of the English consul. This was
evidently done, for on the 2lst of May
he was released. All his property had
been appropriated by his jailers, and he
was compelled to borrow money enough
to reach Ell Paso. where he telegraphed
to Toledo and received money with
which to make the journey home. His
imprisonment was horrible, and his
food not fit for swine.

Fatal Quarrel Between Two Tue
Engineers.

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, June II,
Late Sunday night, William Tate,
engineer of the tug Pioneer, was arrest
ed for the murder of his brother Tom.
The murdered man was intoxicated and
desired his brother to take him on the
craft to his home on Sugar island. This
he refused to do and he started home.
The two men met again, a few hours
later, at Sugar island, when the quarrel
was renewed. After William had driv-
Ell his brother away for the third time,
the latter made an attack OH him with
a club, but was downed, his brother
choking him and kicking him several
times in the ribs. The last time he
kicked his brother he gave gasp or
two for breath and expired. The mur-
'dered man was engineer on one of the
tugs here and the murdered was engi-
neer of the tug Pioneer.

FOURINCHEs OF HAIL.

Disastrous Storm in the Lower She n.
andoah ValIey-Trains Wrecked and
Cattle Destroyed.
MARTINsBURG, w. Va, June 16.-A
heavy storm passed over the south
western part of Berkeley County this
evening. A terrific gale of wind, that
did great damage, was followed by a
terrible thunder storm. This was fol-
lowed by heavy hail storm, that add
ed greatly to the destructiveness. The
hail-stones lay in some places three or
four inches deep. Crops and trees are
ruined. Live stock was badly bruised
and in some instances killed. Several
houses and barns were wrecked by the
wind. No loss of life has yet been re-
ported. Owing to the lateness of the
hour at which the storm occurred de-
tails are meager.

what kind of soil he starts with. He
would be satisfied with an asphalt pave

so much of 1t that he has to sell it to-
keep his place from being gradually
raised above the level of the surround

derstands the laws of chemistry he has
no difficulty in making soil that con-
