You'd which no Esquimaux are found, not
because of the cold, perhaps, but because
there is no food, nothing, indeed, but ice.
In 1875 the Alert and Discovery sailed
from Portsmouth, England, and on the
18th of May, 1876, the sledges of the Alert
reached latitude s. dogs. 20 min. 26 Sec,
the most northern point then attained, and
far beyond the most northern range of the
Esquimaux. From the loftiest point at
tainable no signs of an opsn polar sea were
discovered, but all in sight suggested pre-
cipitous mountains of ice, rising higher
and higher toward the pole. The vessels
wintered in latitude SO dogs. 81 min, where
the sun was out of sight 142 days, and NO
EsquimauX were anywhere found north of
81 dogs. 50 sec. Yet the greatest cold reg
istered was but 72 dogs. below zero, and of
100 persons only four died-one by FROST
bite and three by scurvy.
The Scandinavians had meanwhile sailed
along the northern coast of Asia, and in
1879 Lieutenant De Long sailed in the
Jeanette. 1t was crushed by ice June %,
1881, and three months later two of its
boats reached the mouth of the Lena. The
third, De Long in command, was lost, and
in March, 1882, the corpses Of him and his
companions were found in a Siberian
forest. The last to attract general atten-

ANOTHER MYSTERY.
THE BONES AND CLOTHING OF
ANOTHER MAN FOUND
Near Denison, Near the Place Where Two
Were Found Last Week-People Shak-
ing Their Heads and Guessing.

Special to the Gazette
DENIsoN, TEX, June 22-The finding of
another skeleton in the woods southeast
of Denison, which was learned here yes
terday, has caused considerable excite
ment. The last find is about one
half mile from the place where the
skeletons of the two boys We're found
week ago, and that sec
tion is beginning to be looked
upon like the celebrated Bender burying
ground in Kansas. The clothing and
trinkets found in the pockets of the dead
man were brought here to-day and were
viewed by a large number of people, but so
far no one has been able TO identify them.
The bones of the unfortunate We're buried
this afternoon near where they were found.
The justice states that everything went to
show that the man died nat
ural death, and his remains lay
undisturbed until found, as the bones were
all inclosed in the clothing. Everything
went to show that the man had been dead
several months No clew can be obtained
as to the cause of his death, but it being
found in close proximity to the place where
the remains of the Barbrick and Derrick
boys We're, it is generally supposed
that a gang of cutthroats and
thieves is operating in that section, and
their burying ground is made in that rough,
secluded spot where no one scarcely ever
goes. A searching party will probably be
organized tomorrow to go over and search
that locality thoroughly for other bodies,
or find some clew TO the cause of these
mysterious deaths.

STEELE MACkAYE'S TABLE.
He Had Some Difficulty in Getting tks
Aged Carpenter to Make It.

He Had Some Difficulty in Getting tLe
Aged Carpenter to Make 1t.
Steele Mackaye, the dramatist, can 16 \
good story as we'll as write a good play.
At Wormley's he was relating some of his
experiences in the little village of Concord,
\. c., where lie spent some time.
81 wanted table made" he began, land
was directed to the village carpenter. He
was an aged man, and when l finally
found him ne was leisurely engaged in the
manufacture of a coffin. 1t looked as if he
had been at work upon the coffin for a
week. 1 asked him if he could make me a
table He allowed that he could when he
got at it, And when will you get at it?'
l asked. Suddenly he parted my direct
question with another. What kind of a
table do you want% he asked me, with the
air of a man who has got the enemy cor
nered.
Il described the table, and the old man
again fell into deep thought. At last,
when L showed some impotence, he told
me to come again next week.
"a week later reminded him about my
table. Yes, he remembered the converse
ton, but he really did not think he could
go to work upon it until he had seen some
whom he had to see, nor where they lived,
but he was positive that they had to be
seen before my table could be begun. Be-
sides this he hadn't any lumber.
'''Where can get the lumbers asked
in desperation. Well, he thought it could
be obtained at the mill. And where was
the mill? Twelve miles away. Sol mount
ed my horse and started for the mill. l
found it after long search. 1t was a
dilapidated affair, and the saw was half
way through log. But the saw was
rusty, sign that it had not been in use
for week. A woman came out of a house
nearby and answered my shouts. l told
her that / wanted to see the owner of the
mill.
"'What do you want to see him for?' she
drawled. l told her about the lumber
Thich L needed, and her husband came
Sut. He was long, lean. lank fellow, and
he was sucking yam. 1t was the funniest
sight you ever saw. All during his CONVEX
sation he sucked this yam and spoke in
slow, deliberate sentences. He finally con-
Guided that he did not care to take the
trouble to cut the lumber, and l rode
twelve miles back to town"
And did you ever get the tablesn asked
the reporter, who listened to the story.
Down by the railroad was a factory"
said Mr.. Mackaye. Nobody in the town
had mentioned it, although fifty people
had told me Of the aged and work deferring
carpenter. I found the factory by acci-
dent, gave my order for the table, and had
it delivered to me within twenty four
hours Washington Post.

THE MISSOURI RAGING.
HIGHER THAN HAS BEEN KNOWN
FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
Cutting Land on the Kansas Side at q
Fearful Rate-SOme Well Grounded
Predictions.

ST. JOSEPH. Mo-. June 22-The Missouri
river is higher than for several years, and
is still rising. All government work on the
Kansas shore has been abandoned and the
government feet moored to place of
safety. The rapidity with which the
waters are cutting away the Kansas bank
can be best imagined when stated that half
acre lots of earth have been tumbling into
the river since yesterday. Work
men who came in from Belmost
on the government steamer this morning
state that the neck of land which now
separates the river north and south is less
than quarter of mile wide. At the rate
the river is cutting the land away it would
require but a short time to place Elmwood
suburbs on an island and leave ST. Joseph
two miles from the river. This would also
leave St. .Joseph's million-dollar bridge
standing over dry spot, where the river
once was. Several farmers have lost hun
dreds of dollars in wheat and corn.
KANSAS CITY IN THE SWIM.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, June 22.-The food in
the Missouri rever reached the city last
night, and water now stands two and one
thirty second feet above the low water
mark. An additional rise of two feet would
food the low lands along the river and
cause great loss to property. The rise in
the Missouri has backed up the waters of

Few Scathing Remarks From a Minister
Causes a mmOtiOn-A Mason Has
His say, and Leaves the House.

BosToN, Mass, June 22-During the
regular meeting of Baptist ministers in
Chapel hall this afternoon Rev. j. B. Stod-
dard addressed the conference, at its sug-
gestion, upon the influence of secret socie-
ties upon churches, and in the course of his
remarks strongly denounced Masonry, de-
claring that when man swears allegiance
TO it he swears allegiance to a code an
tagenistic to God
Rev. Mr.. Cleveland of Melrose, who was
in the audience, arose to a point of order
and, with suppressed emotion, said Il
am a Mason, and have listened TO this
scathing stIgrnatism OF the order in pa
thence, but [ cannot listen to this unjust
and uncalled-for abuse
Chairman Moran put the question to the
meeting on sustaining the point of order
and it was defeated-50 to {. Instantly
Cleveland arose and addressed the secre-
tary as follows: Il request that YOU drop
my name from the roll of membership
of this conference. l do not care to be
member of any body that refuses to sus-
tain decent point of ORDER then taking
his hat he left the hall and Stoddard finished

A Yankee "Swapper."

A New London expressman is about as
good specimen of Connecticut Yankee as
has recently come to light. He recently
ran across a useless old harness which he
didn't want, and so he traded it with col
ored man for watch. He then sold the
wateASo a man for $50, to be paid in in
'Sse7ments. He got four dollars of it,
when the man went "broke," couldn't pay
any more and gave up the watch. The
conditions were that if he couldn't pay the
full amount be would forfeit what was al
ready paid, so the expressman had the watch
and the four dollars. In little while n,
man came along who owned sulky thas
he didn't want, and who was glad to trade
it off for the watch. The expressman ac-
commodated him, and considers it the best
bargain of the lot. At this rate of progress
it won't be long before that sulky will be
worked by easy stages into a house and lot.

Four Expeditions Now En- Route for the
North Pole and One for the South
Pole-Preyious Attempts.

It is not easy to explain in popular
article why any one should be eager to
reach either pole of the earth except as
matter of mere curiosity, but navigators
have been trying it at frequent intervals
for nearly four centuries, and this summer
five expeditions will start-four for the
north pole and one for the south. It is
some slight satisfaction, however, to learn
that there has been steady gain, though
very slow one. and that in 1882 two men
reached point within less than 400 miles
from the north pole-to wit. latitude 50
dogs. 2415 min.
We may name Sebastian Cabot as the
pioneer, and his object and that of his
successors for over three, centuries was
to find the northwest or northeast route

THE DEATH SENTENCE.
WILLIAM CALDWELL TO HANG
IN HOUSTON JULY 81.
Another Chapter to be Recorded in the
Jaybird- Woodpecker Feud-sen-
tence Received Unfiinchingly.
Special to the Gazette.

Special 10 the Gazette.
HoUsToN Ten, June 22-In the criminal
court to-day William Caldwell was SEN
fenced to be hanged in private on July 81.
He is the man convicted of the assassina-
ton of DR.. Shamblin in Fort Bend county
in August, 1888. and whose case has been
before the United States supreme court and
twice before the court OF appeals. He
did not realize why he was brought into
court, and not until the sentence was passed
seemed to take in the situation. He pre-
served his composure well.
DR.. Shamblin was shot one night while
reading the Bible to his family, and Cald-
wells conviction was on cireumstantial evil
dence. This murder was the first
of series, ana which eliminated
in the pitched battle between the
Jaybirds and Woodpeckers in the streets
of Richmond and resulted in the death of
the sheriff and several citizens on each side.
Another strange thing is that nearly all the
leaders of these political factions hav"
since died sudden or violent deaths.
