HANNAH sOUTHw0RTH BURIED.

Body OF the Slayer of stephen L, Pettus
Quietly Taken to Kentucky.
LOUISVILLE. April 13.-There was no
announcement Of the burial of the body of
Mrs. Hannah' B. Southworth at Cave Hill
on Friday afternoon. There were NO
mourners, no prayers, no one but the sexton
and his assistant to put away the remains
Of the beautiful woman who startled all
New York and Kentucky when she shot
to death Broker Stephen I, Pettus, on the
morning Of November 90, 1889, in front of a
tea store on Fulton street, New York. But
Tor the laws of the city of Louisville no one
but the family would have been aware of
the fact that Mrs. Southworth's remains
rest in peace at the head of the street on
which she was born. Before the body could
be buried a burial permit had to be OBJ
tanned, and this formality caused the burial
to leak out.
Friday morning L. D. Pearson & Son,
funeral directors, received telegram from
the dead woman's mother, Mrs. E. ]. Mar
tin, at Brooklyn, to meet the remains at
noon at the Short Line depot, and bury
them in the beautiful Martin plot in Cave
Hill. When the train pulled in big piee
box, lined with tin and containing a metal
lie coffin, was lifted from the express car,
placed in a covered undertaker's wagon,
and taken 10 Cave Hill. A grave had been
prepared, and in a few minutes Mrs. South
worth's remains were at rest in her native
city. The grave was neatly filled. and soon
a marble shaft will mark the spot where
Hannah Southw6rth lies.
Mrs. Southworth died in the Tonbs, New
York's famous prison, Tuesday morning.
january, $780, where she was confined
under Indictment for the murder of Pettus,
the man at whose hands she claimed she
had been greatly wronged. She passed away
in her mothers arms. with prayer on her
lips. Soon after Lille WAS extinct the body
was taken to the residence of William B.
Martin, in Brooklyn, where on the follow
ing Thursday the funeral services took place,
and the body was temporarily placed in a
vanlt in Greenwood, to be quietly removed
to Louisville aft er the tragedy which ruined
the woman's life had passed away from the
minds of the people.

Application of Electricity to Various Eco
nomic Uses-It VIII Be Made to Do
Many Wonderful Things A Great
Exhibit of This Powerful Agent.
CHICAGO, April 13.-Electrlcity and its
application 10 various economic uses prom
ises to be one OF the wonders of the fair.
Prof John Barrett, Chief of tine Depart
ment of Electricity, is working hard for a
great exhibi.. An illustration of the many
uses of electricity will be furnished in a
miniature electric" house. Electricity
will be made to do many unusual things.
The door-bell will be rung from a push but
ton. the lights in the halls and all the rooms
will be controlled from given point, as
we'll as from the door of each room. An
electric burglar-alarm will be there to pro-
tect the sleeping family, with contrlvance
for lighting the incandescent lamps at the
point of entrance of the intruder.
The apartments will he warmed BY cleo
trio radiators and'ventilated and cooled by
system OF electric fans. The cooking for the
family will be conducted upon an electric
range in the kitchen at the top of the house,
and the food lowered to the dining room
upon an electrically propelled dumb-wa alter.
The dishes will be washed by an electric
dishwasher. ion which child can wash
10 900 pieces day. The washing, ironing.
the scrubbing of the floors and woodwork,
the scrubbing Of the silver and knives, and
even the washing of the windows will be
done by electricity. The offal, debris and
sewage will be destroyed by an electric cur
rent run to specially prepared receptacle.
A telephone and writing telegraph in
strument will be in the sauctum of the mas
ter of the house for the purposes OF his bust
ness, and also portable photograph, with
cylinders, for mailing conversation to any
point. In the parlor will be musical tele-
graph, with attachment for difusing the
music to an audience; 4 photograph and
cylinders containing celebrated speeches by
celebrated men and songs by celebrated
women. There will be electric music-b boxes
and every known contrivance to minister to
the pleasure or comfort of the family.
But this isn't ell. at is proposed" says
Prot. Barrett, "to make a fac-simile figure
of Patti, to embody her gestures, smiles,
movement of the eyes, etc., and to install in
this figure q photograph with attachments
for disseminating the sounds to an audience
In this way one may experience all the
pleasures Of an evening with the celebrated
prima donna, hear her sweetest songs precise
ly as she renders them, and at the same time
know that all this is the result of the genius
of man."

WEST VIRGINIA OIL.
Validating With Less Results Than
many Other Section.
LITTLE FROM THE EXPERIMENTS.
Nothing New of Importance Reported From
the Nearby Fields.
WILDWOOD KEEPS UP. TIE OLD PACE

The amount of "wildcatting" in West
Virginia is simply surprising. and that
there is in contemplation, as soon as better
roads and weather prevail, more of it Is
more astounding. Just why capital will
take its chances in West Virginia, with a
knowledge and history of the country, and
the slim prospects of higher-priced oil, is
beyond conception. At no period of the
industry has the experimental drill been so
active and the results so little as at present.
The Eureka. Belmont and st. Mary's pools
have passed the meridian of lite, and there
is nothing in these places to indicate
revival of their past history. We are
glad to note, however, that "Billy' Boyle,
Billy johnson and eood-natured Theo-
dore Barnsdall have met with success in
this county, and if the tempter is not too
strong will come out ahead. Jim Tennart,
too. is in a fair way OF making raise,
which will serve him right for the hardships
he encountered in scouting at Cherry Grove.
Jim, with partner, is now drilling a
"wildcat" well on Bull creek, and thinks
they have got the well located on the spot.
Hannah & Co. recently completed dry
hole $50 feet northwest OF Boyle's we'll on
the Sheats farm. Boyle's we'll is doing
about 40 barrels day. On the Ohio side of
the river the Emery Oil Company have a
we'll near the sand. The Johnston well, on
Friendly Island, is drilling at about 1000
feet. 1t will be remembered this we'll was
shut down in an unknown sand with some
show of oil, but has since been
drilled through, with no improve
ment. They are now drilling
for the Gordon sand. Unknown parties are
drilling well on the Ohio side at the head
of Middle Island. The Duncan Oil Com
pany are also drilling we'll back of ST.
Mary's. Ackerley, s. Samuel continue to
get good paying wells just north of New
port. The Ward we'll, about six miles
north and 100 east from Newport, and 500
feet east of the Vaudeville well at Archer's
Forks, is still shut down on top of the sand.
1t is the intention of this company to drill
this well in next week. This is considered a
very important venture, as it will show to
some extent the direction of the Archer
Forks pool

CANADIANS SMUGGLING.
How They Take Advantage of the Fall In
Sugar.

How They Take Advantage of the Fall in
Sugar.
MONTREAL, April 13.-The dwellers
along the borders of the United States and
the eastern townships are bound to have
freer trade relations in one way if not in
another. There is now difference between
the price Of refined sugars in the United
States and Canada of 2 cents per pound, or
about Sc barrel, so that the inducements
to smuggling are enormous.
Advices from that locality affirm that re-
tailers are offering granulated sugar at 81
@51fc per pound, and even here in Mon
treaI granulated aud yellow refined sugar
are selling under prices obtainable at the
refneries. Their prices are 61zc, and there
is only one way in which the commodity can
be sold 20 per cent under cost, and that is
bv smuggling it into the heart of the
Dominion. Another suggestion is that the
refuers have betrayed the grocers' combine
and are themselves cutting prices. The Mon
treal market for refined sugar is in a very
unsettled condition. and no improvement is
looked for till the Government indicates
which course i: is 10 pursue.

SANTIAGO, Chill, Oct. 2S.-The Chilia
government has replied to Minister Egan's
demands for an explanation Of the recent
attack upon American sailors The reply
is couched in very strong language and it is
understood that it amounts to refusal to
accept responsibility for the affair. The
state department at Washington has been
notified.
Minister Egan, Commander Schley and
Consul McCreery are consulting together,
and it is thought decisive action will be
taken soon. The state departments orders
in reference to the matter are very strong.
The inteudents of Valparaiso refused to
guarantee the safety of market boats com
ing to that city early in the morning from
the United States wsrship Baltimore, or the
safety of officers OF that vessel coming
ashore at night. There is q practical boy
