FRESNO, Cal, Dec. 19.-The petrilied
body of man has been brought her,
from Cantua Canyon, about sixty miles
from town. The body was discovered
by two men named paclwood and Bar.
rett, who were building dam. Part
OF the loot was exposed, and when the
whole body was eXhumed it was found
to be wonderfully preserved. The
body lay on rock covered with earth,
parts OF 1t being buried to the depth of
twelve feet. The body WAS straight
and measured seven feet in length. The
man WAS physically perfect. The face
is clearly defined, the nose, eyes, fore
head, mouth and chin being natural.
The neck is long and rests on muscular
shoulders. The arms are long and
shapely, the left being folded high on
the breast, with the hand resting near
the throat, while the right comes
diagonally across the body and rests on
the stomach. The hair Is gone. but the
ears arc clearly outlined. The hands
are perfect, the nails and wrinkles in
the skin of the fingers being rs natural
as life. The same may be said OF the
feet. the tcndons showing the contrac-
tion familiar to physicians in cases Of
death from Strychnine. The body
weighs six hundred pounds.
Cantua Canyon Is dry most OF the
year. The indications are that the
body has been buried for ages. In the
same canyon is Il prtriIipd forest. The
body is supposed to be Of an early
Spanish explorer. \ glance at the
pctriliCation, as well as the character Of
the diScovcrers. preclude the idea of
any deception like the "So!id Muldo0n"
giant fraud in Colorado. The curiosity
will he sent to the California Academy
OF Sciences.

Drew too Much Water.

JACKSONNILLE. December. l9.-
While boring well on his vineyard and
orangcrv. situated on the outskirts OF
Econlna. Henry IIardcastc recently
struck what must be an immense under
ground river and which poured It's water
iOuth at such tremendous rate that the
men who were doing the boring narrow
y escaped beng Ovcrtakcn by the flood,
which. gushing down the side Of the
slight incline on which the fruit farm IS
situated, had soon worn channel in the
dry bed Of an ancient creek. This is
soon filled with rushing. furious tide,
which finally cmpticd itself into the APP
palaChicOla and which has continued to
flow unchecked or without signs Of dim
inisting.
The water is clear, sparkling and very
cold, with only a Slight mineral flavor.
Fish by the thousands have been thrown
out and arc OF several varieties, some Of
which arc Of a kind unknown to ichthy-
ologists, being perfectly colorlcss, while
others arc translucent and Gclainous, and
all arc without eyes, and very small, cX-
ccpta few OF Il sort resembling our pick
cral, and which measure from 4 foot to
three and q half in length, and are pro-
vldcd with very large pointed teeth.
Great damage las been done to his
fruit and vines. and Mr. lIardcastlc. see
ing no prospect of the flood abating. has
Offered reward TO stimulate the ingcn-
utv Of the local engineers to find way
of controlling and utilizing the water.
People from miles around have been
coming in crowds to inspect the wonder,
and one or two vcntrrcsomc spirits have
narrowly CSCancd drowning.

CHILDREN.
,,gIBLE WORK OF AN INSANE
MOTHER.

name Oh the slate was WriIlcu lilc Colu-
mon-placc charge of lunacy, but behind
that ls the accusation OF 4 crime so hor-
riblc rs to be almost Incredible.
The unnatural mother is accused OF
poisoning four of her children with ar
senic. One at a time they died from the
same fearful drug. but not until the last
little life had been taken was suspicion
aroused.
She next made futile attempt on hcr
own lic with the same poison. Since
then she has attempted to kill her hus-
band. She Is undoubtedly mad wom-
an, however, and this fact is the only
thing that relieves the horror of her aw-
full deeds.
Until the past three months there
were no signs Of mental failing on the
part of the mother, and until IN cNamln-
alton of the bodies, which took place
here, she was thought TO be perfectly
sane, her strange actions in the past haV-
ing been attributed to grief over tho first
child's death.
The unfortunate woman is 4 native OF
this city. but since her marriage had been
living on plantation in Meade county.
Her husband is well known and is one
of the most prominent farmers i'll that
SCCtlOn. NO uClinllC cause ms bccll
assigned for the strange aud unnatural
crimes. Until the death Of the first
child she was remarkable for her dcvo-
ton and care of her little ones.
The first murder was committed on
thc evening ofOctobcr Ii. and the others
followed al intervals of two weeks.
During the illness of each child the
mo,lcr showed stolid indifference
which her friends and rhysicIan con-
strucd as urici. Each murder was care
FULLY planned and cunninylv executed.
Though every child was attacked with
the same svuirtom, and lied with the
spasmodic cramps which accompany
arsenic poisoning, the su<ririon OF no
one was aroused until after the death o,
the fourth child. when the mother at.
tempted her own liz.

OMAHA TO GALVESTON.

A dispatch from Beaumont Tex, to
the Houston Post,of date Sept. -, states
that contract had Just been closed at
the first named place calling for 100. 000,
600 feet of timber. to supply all of the
ties. bridge timber and all other lumber,
including depots, section-houses and
stock-pens. for the construction of the
great air line from Omaha, Neb., to Gal
weston, Tex known as the Omaha, Kan
sas Central and Galveston railway which
company proposes to construct trunk
(air) line from Superior, Neb.. to Calves
ton, Tex, a distance OF ], 900 miles. The
road will traverse the great grain fields
of the west. the rich mineral sections of
the beautiful Indian Territory, and
through the great cotton belt of Texas to
the proposed deep water harbor Of Gal
weston.
Work has already commenced on the
northern division and the line TO Red
river is to be completed before Sept. 20,
.S92.
It is understood that the Chicago. Bur
lington and Quincy system is back of the
magnificent enterprise and that the
Omaha. Kansas Central and Galveston
line will be but a continuation of the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy.
1t is known that the Chicago, Burling-
ton and Quincy has been planning for
several years TO secure q southern exten-
sion of its system directly south through
central Kansas, and the foregoing state
ments bear out the suggestion that its
plans are now finally consummated.
This Will be great enterprise for
Kansas as it will open 10 the state di-
rectly, by another trunk line, the mar
kets TO the north and south.
BY reference 10 the map of the country
to be traversed by this new air line it
VIII be seen that il must pass through
this city, Wichita being the most
important point on the line between Su-
perior. Neb., Its starting point, and cen
tral Texas. This fact Of itself. that is
the Importance of Wichita as CONNER
cial center. is enough TO insure that the
road will come this way even if 1t had 70
be DETECTED from a straight line TO do so.
The Wichita daily eagle., 1891-09-20
ANOTHER IMPORTANT STEP.

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen the
formal announcement of Hon. George L.
Rouse, president of the Wichita Board
of Trade, of the reorganization of that
body, under the laws of the state, into
a regular commercial body for the trans
action of business such as organizations
of that character usually engage in. The
feature of special concern to the city
and the country of which it is the COM
mercial entrepot, is in the interest the
new board will take in building up and
sustaining the new wheat grade just
established by the recently appointed
and organized board of state grain in
spectors, which is to be known as "Kan-
sas No. 2, hard"
AS President Rouse says, the reputa-
ton of Kansas wheat has gone abroad
under that designation and grade.
and being valued above all other grades
and kinds of wheat, it will be
the especial concern of the Wichita
Board of Trade to maintain the STAN
dard, realizing that, situated in the inte-
rior of the state and in the very heart of
the wheat producing portion, it will de-
volve upon the Wichita market and
inspection to sustain the grade in its
purity, for obvious reasons. This view
of the situation makes it next to impera-
tive, as a matter of self defense. for the
farmers and wheat growers of Kansas to
encourage and uphold the Wichita Board
of Trade in its pralseworthy undertaking
in their behalf, and for the credit of the
state as the producer of the best wheat
on the continent, and it is confidently ex-
pected that this self interest, supplement-
ed by a patriotic impulse, pride of
state, will prompt generous and gen.
eral response.
