the doctor, when Mrs. Hammer pulled from
her pocket a small Smith a. wesson revolver.

PRESERVED BY COPPER ACID.
Singular Discovery Made in the Ana
conda Mine.

The bodies Of three of the five men who lost
their lives in the fire in the Anaconda mine At
Butte, Mont, last November have been found.
The men were miners and the names of the
three are Edward Dolsn, Jerry sullivan and
Harry Page. The bodies of sullivan and
Dolan were found lying side by side on the
SOO-foot station. while the body of Page was
found In the main cross-cut, ITO feet from the
shaft. When the body of Dolan was discovered
II was lying across the bottom Of an ore car.
From the position of the body it is thought he
died leaning against the side of the car and
had afterward fallen forward after the iron
and rivets were eaten away by the action of
the copper water and the car had dropped
over.
Singular as il may appear. the copper acid in
the water which flooded the mine, while strong
enough to eat all the hardest steel and iron out
OF the mine had no particular effect upon the
bodies. Huge irons and bars of steel in the
machinery of the mines were entirely DESTROYED.
The overalls and other clothing and the boots
and shoes worn by the men at the time they
met death were intact, showing that the
fire In the mine had not touched them. The
flesh, however, OF the faces and arms was soft.
but otherwise well preserved. and the faces
could be easily recognized. Considering the
length OF time-six months and twenty days
the bodies lay in the mines their preservation
is remarkable.

SATURDAY EARLY CLOSING.
Porter Thinks Census
Clerks Ought to Enjoy Ii.

Mr.. Porter today issued q circular to en-
ployes of the Census Office as follows: The
Honorable Secretary of the Interior has in
formed the superintendent Of census that the
question of closing the Census Office at SPIN
Saturdays during the summer months
must depend entirely upon the condi-
ton of the work. and that the
superintendent must decide the question.
Those employed in this Office are aware that
the work of the census has just begun, and that
during the next six months we shall require the
steady, earnest work of every clerk. In view
OF this it might seem to some a mistake to re-
linquish what, in the aggregate, means to this
Office nearly two thousands hours of time week.
The superintendent thinks otherwise. and his
reason for holding this opinion is based largely
upon the loyalty, industry and dexterity of
the clerks. 1t is hoped and believed that il
this extra hour is granted clerks will endeavor
to make it up by the prompitude with which
they 60 to work in the morning. avoiding
all lettering at noon and by additional industry
during working hours. If all cooperate to
this end the granting of this extra hour on Sat-
urdays will prove benefit rather than loss
to the Census Office. A few days ago the
had to make sudden cali for
volunteer night force to get out
important work that could not
be delayed. No less than two hun
bred and fifty men and women imme diately
and willingly responded, and double that num-
Der could have been obtained 1t would be i'm
perfect appreciation for such Willingness to re-
tuse this small boon to those who will have to
work hard and persistently throughout the
coming hot months -

board of five members of the convention This
board will actively engage in efforts to induce
the location of northern people in the state of
Georgia and throughout the south. Printed
matter under the official seal of the body is to
be sent out over the country, showing Georgia
and the people of the south in a Just and true
light. and inviting correspondence or commu-
nication with the immigration committee for
any special information.

CUBA AND AMERICAN Flair
Secretary Blaine Tells the Western
Farmers How to Reciprocate on Sugar.

Secretary Blaine has received the following
telegram from J. F. limbs, the chairman of the
National Millers' Association, now in session AZ
Minneapolis:
liz is reported that an additional duty of 10
cents per barrel will be imposed upon the
American flour by Cuba on July 1. This would
prohibit any possible -four trade between the
United States and Cuba. The millers are con.
sequently agitated, hence your prompt tele-
graphic reply is earnestly solicited.
Secretary Blaine promptly answered the in.
curry as follows:
We have no official advices at the State De-
partment of the so cents additional duty Old
flour in Cuba. If levied. 1t will make the duty
1851 per barrel-eyidently intended by Spain
TO be prohibItory. The whole subject is within
the power and wisdom of Congress. liz has
been constantly said here for the last 81,
months that the western farmers demand the
unconditional repeal of the sugar duty. Its
within the power of western farmers by en-
couraglng a system of recipro ,ity, TO secure
IN exchange for the repeal OF this duty the
Tree admission OF their breadstuffs aud pro-
visions into the markets of the 40 600 OOo of
people. including Cuba. In my opinion this 10
the, most profitable policy for the western
farmers. Free sugar in the United States
should be accompanied by free breadstuffs and
provisions IN spanish America

A PEAK OF MT. SHASTA GONE
Belief That IL Has. Dropped Into the
Crater.

dispatch from Redding. Col. to the
New York Tribune says: That one of the peaks
of Mt Shasta had disappeared was noticeable
from Redding, Col, yesterday morning. Its
absence from view created considerable COM
ment and some anxiety. The top appears to
have been cut short of and to have fallen into
the crater below. the depths of which have
never been penetrated by the eye of man. Ii
is thought that the absence OF this old land
mark may indicate further demonstrations Of a
volcanic nature. Fire has long been known 10
exit in the crater. and the lava formations of
the valleys and ridges below it give rise TO the
question, may not the CONFUSION of ages past
be repeated? That the top has gone is beyond
question. An attempt will be made as soon as
possible to explore the mountain; but. as il is
covered with snow, the work will be dangerous.
