The Ts,anrnrOA

There has been recently some interest
aroused in those very remarkable birds the
touracos on account Of the curious fact that
the red pigment in their wing feathers can
be, partially, at least. washed out with pure
water. This is generally believed to bs .
unique instance of the kind, but it does not
appear to be no. A correspondent states that
another ANIMAL mammal this time-shares
with the touracos the popularity OF being
tinted with colors that run This animal
is q Brazilian tree porcupine, with bright
yellow spines, which are hidden by q dense
coat Of fur. The porcupine is. unlike the
common Indian form q tree dwelling Great
ure. with comparatively long prehensile
tail. The yellow pigment OF the spines can
be extracted by water, which then becomee
. pale lemon yellow hue. But a. the porcu-
pine freluents tres. and as il il covered with
long hair, it does not seem probable that In .
state Of nature the warm rain Of the tropics
would ever bleach the spines. Is It Is said to
bleach the feathers Of the touraco - London

LEkVENWORTHlTEMS

LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, June 5.-Coroner
Lynch was summoned to Kickapoo this
morning to hold an inquest on the body OF
George Hanks, who was found dead yes
terday in a field where deceased had been
blowing Deceased was 20 years of age.
and when he left his home to go to work
was apparently in good health. There
were no marks of violence and his death
is thought to have been caused by heart
disease.
Judge D. J. Brewer, OF the United
States circuit court is still sick with the
typhoid fever. His sickness is of such a
serious nature that visitors are not allow
ed to call. A Pullman car is being pre-
pared for the sick judge as soon as he is
able to travel, a western trip by easy
stages will be made to localities that will
prove beneficial. The car will be made a
home until the summer is passed and no
one will be allowed to talk on legal mat
tiers with the judge until he has fully re-
covered. 1t is generally believed that
Judge Brewers sickness has been brought
on by oyerWOrk.

A CHANCE FOR LYNCHlNG.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June 5.-Gadsden,
Ala, will doubtless have first-class hang
ing bee tonight. 1t will be dual affair,
with all the exciting incidents necessary.
The parties who will officiate in the title
roles are Grant Gam and John White,
both negroes The crime for which they
are held is attempted assault at Gasden
Saturday night last upon young lady
named Jones.
The Two young negroes entered the
house of widow named Jones Satur-
day hight after the family had retired,
and attempted to chloroform Miss
Jones, 18 years of age. She woke and
screamed, arousing a little brother, aged
10. He promptly opened fire on his sis
ter's assailants, who ran for the door and
made their escape but not until they had
been recognized.
The neighborhood was aroused and a
search for the fugitive criminals was insti-
tuted at once. White was soon run down,
but Gam succeeded in getting out of
Gadsden. He had formerly worked for the
family of Freight Conductor Tom Ed
wards, of the A, G. S., of this city, and
he was in Edwards cabooSe here when
captured last night.
Marshal Wimpy, of Gladsden, who ar
rested Gam. said this morning he hated
to take him back, as the people were
dreadfully excited, and he was sure the
negroes would be swung up.

SEEKING THE INSURED.


JoHNsTOwN, Pa, June 5.-One of the
features of the day was the arrival of a
large number of life and accident insur-
ance agents. Fully 100 of them arrived
and they are hard at work looking up the
victims who are insured in the different
companies. Very little information can
be procured yet as there is really no official
list of the identified dead, and even if there
was, there are too many people who can
not be identified, so there is little or no
hope for the insurance agents getting any
