No news has been received from the Toltec canal. Reports from Aztec say that the settlers under the Farmers canal are returning to their ranches. The headgate is gone but otherwise the canal has not suffered as much as was ex- pected. Many of the ranches are ruined by deposits of mud and sand. The headgate of the Mo hawk canal resisted the enormous strain to which it was subjected and George Norton in a letter to Mir Darlington states that the up- per canal has sustained very little injury. Mir. Norton saved his fine stock and horses, his blacksmith shop, wagons and farming imple- ments went down the river and were lost. MT. Norton and others built raft and rescued several families, the Magills, Klenks and others. Most of the families in the lower part of the valley took refuge on a small rocky hill near RudisilPs ranch and word has been received from them that there has been no loss of life.

What is lacking is truth and confidence. If there were absolute truth on tke one hand and abso- lute confidence on the other, it wouldn't be necessary for the mak- CTS of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy to back up a plain statement of fact by $500 guarantee. The say -"If we can't cure you (make it personal, please of catarrh in the head, in any form or stage, we'll pay you $500 for your trouble in making the trial" "An advertis- ing fake," you say.

FADED DEATH FcR AN HOUR.
Four Men on Burning Tug Running
Wild on the Lake.
From the 81. Louis Republic.


From the 81. Louis Republic.
CHICAGO, Nov. 29.-For over and an hour
to-day out on wintry Lake Michigan four
men stared full in the face what seemed to
be inevitable death. They were aboard the
tug John A. Miller, which, wrapped in
flames, were running wild at full speed in
great circles. The men had only deck
buckets with which to delay the moment
when, apparently, they would have to de-
eide whether to burn or drown. The smoke
and flame from the burning craft were
sighted by the tug Welcome, tut the waves
were running 30 high that the Welcome
was long delayed. At last, however,
she succeeded in steaming close to
the fiery Miller, and, by almost
superhuman exertions, taking aboard
the scorched and exhausted seamen, the
rescuers narrowly avoiding meeting the
fate that had awaited the rescued. The
Welcome took fire, and only prompt meas
ures averted her destruction. The four
men who escaped from the Miller were
Capt. Peter Barry, Engineer James Barry,
Fireman Charles Newman and deck hand .
The Welcome was under command of Capt.
Thomas Barry, a brother of the Miller's
captain.
The crew of the Miller, though suffering
pain, enjoyed one sstisfaotion-that OF see
Ing the tug sink without them aboard. The
fire is supposed to have originated In the
explosion of lamp. 1t made too rapid
progress to permit any investigation. and
after driving the engineer aud wheelsman
from their positions disabled the Storage
apparatus. which had been set by Capt
Barry to head straight for port instead of
making the huge circle that so nearly
proved the death Of himself and his men.

From Chicago Inter Ocean.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Nov. co. The
legs of Ny Wo Chez resembled a pair OF
sieves as their owner lay and grunted on
the receiving khospital table ye terday
afternoon. In the morning they were just
as sound az any other Chinaman's legs, but
Ny Wo Chez had no use Of them in the
ef ternooD.
There was about 100 small holes in the legs
and at the bottom Of each Of the holes was
lump of lead,
sE Ny Wo Chez had not been fooling with
the active end Of gatling gun; he had
only been seized with a hankering for duck
for dinner. Unhappily for Ny Wo Chez
the particular duck for which he hankered
already had an owner. 1t was not the lone,
lorn dead mallard it seemed to be as it
rested gracefully on the summit OF a mud
pile on the San Bruno marshes. But Ny
Wo Chez drifted the ducks way. and seeing
it lying there alone he took possession Of IL
and started San Brunowarl
Concealed behind fringe Of rushes, wait
ing for the friends Of the duck to come look
ing for 1t, was man with shotgun. He
observed the pre-emption Of the duck by
Ny Wo Chez with no friendly eye. In the
barrels OF his gun were two shot-laden
cartridges. Before Ny Wo Chez had
Travelled twenty yards those shot were in
his leg.
There was a screech from the Chinaman,
the duck of contention was thrown into the
air, and Ny Wo Chez looked like a blue
streak going for the doctor. When he
reached San Bruno he climbed on a wagon
headed for this city, and on arrival here he
was conveyed to the hospital.
One hundred and ten shot we're extracted,
and there are about as many more so deeply
imbedded that it will be necessary 10 out

NOT FOR SWALLOWING.
A Horned Toad That Was the Death
of Rattlesnake.

A Horned Toad That Was the Death
of a Rattlesnake.
From the San Francisco Examiner
Rattlesnakes are generally credited with
having more sense than to attempt to feast
on spine-covered horned toads. but there
was one snake that allowed hunger to over
come discretion down In Inyo county a few
weeks ago. I surrounded a half-grown
horned toad that would have eventually
caused its death had not hunter saved it
the trouble. The specimen was saved and
is now at the academy OF science In al
conol.
The snake is called crotalus cerastes, one
of those vicious little prairie rattlesnakes
that is also called the hornet RATHER" and
the "side-winder." On either side of the
head is q horny projection above the eye.
InAriking, it swings its body sideways,
and does not strike out straight before it,
as other large varieties of the crotalus do,
hence the term "side-wlnder." 1t is con-
sidered by some to be the most aggressive
of the family to which it belongs. and is
dangerous because of the small size and dull
color which prevents its being readily seen.
The one In question has six rattles and IL
about sixteen inches in length. One-third
of the lizard had been swallowed when it
resorted to the tricks OF its. species. The
horned toads always run to escape. but
when caught close their eyes and remain
still for short time before making sud
den break to get away. This particular
specimen allowed itself to be taken in by
the snake until it thought the matter had
gone far enough. Then it began t. wriggle
and try to back out. 1t couldn't back out
because the fangs of the snake held 1t:
Then 1t began to work its head until one OF
the horns tore hole through the snakes
skin. In that position they were found, tho
snake nearly dead and the toad entirely 80.
The academy of sciences people consider 1t q
rare specimen.

SOUTH GEORGIA COMPETENCE.
The Methodist Church of This District
10 rs Twenty-flfth Session.


CoRDELE, GA, Dec. 2.-Twenty five
years ago the South Georgia conference
was organized in the city Of Savannah. The
old Georgia conference OF the Methodist
Episcopal church, south, was divided the
year before, 1866 at Americas, Ga, and
Two separate conferences there set up. the
South and North Georgia conferences. The
North Georgia has increased until it has
nearly doubled the membership Of the old
conferences at the time OF separation, and
the South Georgia has about the same num-
her OF members as the old conference had
In 1866. Last year the number was so, 5s4.
The twenty-ffth annual session opened
this morning, Bishop John c. Keener presid-
ing. Bishop keener Vt as elevated to the Office
OF bishop by the general conference, which
met In Memphis, Tenn, in May, 1870. He
was the only one elected bishop at that ses-
sion OF the general conference. He took
rank at once in the college of bishops as one
OF the finest presiding officers and one Of the
strongest preachers At the death of
Bishop II. N. McTyeire, a few years ago, he
became senior bishop, having served longer
than any other living bishop in the south
ern church. This is the second visit he has
made to the South Georgia conference. and
has received a genuine Georgia welcome.

Bishop A. G.. Haygood, who removed re-
Gently to Los Angeles, Cal, will

native Georgian and one of the brainiest
men in the Southern Methodist church. He
came TO seek recruits for the conference on
the Pacific slope. Having been president
Of Emory College for number of years,
his acquaintance among the younger
preachers is very extensive, many Of them
having graduated during his presidency at
Oxford. He knows the men and their
capacities and win able to choose

One OF the remarkable incidents of the
past year is thai not one member of the
conference has died. This is in strange cons
trast to the fatality attending the North
Georgia conference In that conference ten
members have died during the past year,
and among them some of their strongest
men. DR.. w. II. Potter, the late editor of
the Wesleyan Christian Advocate for eight
years. was better known in Southern Geor-
gia than any others on the list He was once
pastor Of Trinity church ia Savannah.
In South Georgia conference there will be
no memorial services this year. This is the
third conference during twenty-one years
when this service has not been held. The
first member of the conference died in 1870,
and from this date until 1887 one or more
have died. Four died in 1888, and none in
1889. There we're two who died in 1890. In
1881 and also in 1882 five members died

A heroine has been discovered. She is
Mile. Louise Beaulisu, who few days ago
was authorized to sell matches In the streets
on the ground that she had been deprived
of her arm by gunshot received in 1870.
Her license also states that she was decorated

Is not a manish woman She says she is 80
and looks her age, and is decently though
coarsely dressed. Louise de Beaulieu was
lady who had independent means.
When the war broke out twenty years
ago she joined regiment as a vivandiere.
She was in eight battles picked up under
fire many soldiers. and was near being shot
at ST. Denis by the French as a spy. Her
aristocratic air struck some soldiers, who
took her prisoner and kept her In q hole In
the ramparts till she could be tried. The
trial was by drum-head court-martial,
which sentenced her to be shot. On being
taken TO be executed she refused 20 let her
eyes be bandaged, and asked as a last privi-
lege to be allowed to give the word to Are.
An officer, admiring her pluck. saved her.
She was in the fights at Nanterre, Le-
bourget, Bry-sur- Marine aud Viliers, aud
always kept In the van. She attended at
one of these places, to twenty-five wounded
men and lost her right arm at Champigny
while she was carrying a soldier to an am-
bulance. This did not disable her from
work.
Her record is one of the most splendid
that man or woman could wish for. Though
so badly wounded, she was up and about
and helpful at Groslay, Drancy, and in the
sortie of Buzenval. One of her feats was
saving a child from the sixth floor Of a
house which took fire on the Rue Saint
Honore. She spent S4, 900 in the terrible
winter of the war in procuring comforts for
the wounded whom she nursed in ambu-
lances
