several weeks he paid most devoted at

reciprocate the attachment. Two weeks
ago the young roman went to Parton
Rock, a local picnic resort. where Frank
Richards met her. With him also it
was a case of love at once, and all day he
waited upon her and secured her permits

Union Pacific Rumors.

special Dispatc TO The Leader.
OMAHA, Sept 3.-All sorts of rumors
have been floating around concerning the
Union Pacific. The latest has it that an
application is to be made for a receiver
for the road. This rumor was current IN
a message. but was promptly denied by
President Dillon in a message to head
quarters, who declared that there was not
a word Of truth in 1t. Reports have also
been received that President Dillon had
announced his intention of resigning and
that a Vanderbilt man had been spoken
OF as his probable successor. This change
would be followed by a complete change
in the personnel of the management of
the road and a corresponding change all
the way through the list, 1t is asserted by
local officers. AL these rumors are treated
very p~hilosophically at the headquarters
in this city, where all the officers exist in
an atmosphere of expectancy. 1t is adj
mitted that the rumors may have some
foundation in fact, but they arc not given
much credit. On the street public opin-
ion is about equally divided as to the
truth or wildness OF the rumors, but a
lively interest IS manifested in everything
pertaining to the subject.

The time of one housekeeper has been
pretty well occupied this season trying
to break up the business of a pair of
sparrows who have determined hat they
are going to raise a family in a particu-
lar spot under the roof of her side piazza.
The first nest was removed and some
wire screen drawn across the opening,
but the birds picked and pulled away
enough of it to wriggle their little bodies
through sideways, and built again. She
swashed them out this time with the
garden hose, but in a little while another
nest was located and four eggs deposited
in it.
The drowning out scheme was tried
once more, but the birds didn't seem to
mind, and investigation showed that
they had rooted the nest over so that it
shed rain like an umbrella, and only a
little hole was left under one side for
them to crawl into. With the persever-
ance of her sex the lady pulled the nest
down for the third time, and this week
the birds began cheerfully on nest No.

one third of this city is in ashes and not
less than 1000 people are homeless.
Eighteen blocks were totally consumed,
including 500 or 600 residences. Had the
high wind continued which prevailed
during the early stage OF the conflagration
the entire city would have been destroyed.

these furnished SHELTER last night for
hundreds whom the fire had rendered

now to make a careful estimate of the
amount OF insurance covering the de-
stroyed property. Many of the losers are
badly crippled. while others are ruined

insurance exceeds $275, 900.

Aple-Bodied Veterans Must Leave.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis. Sept. 3.-Nearly
all the old soldiers in the national sol
diers' home who are able to work
will be compelled to leave the institution
very shortly. This is the result of action
taken recently BY the national board hav-
rug charge of the veterans. The ques-
ton of pensions will cut no figure and all
ablc-bodied men with or without pen
sions will have to leave. The action of
the national board was caused by the dis
covery that the national homes all over
the country were greatly overcrowded and
that many of the inmates were vigorous
aud hardy men. fully able to earn their
living This was especially true OF the
home near this city. 1t was decided to
order a thorough medical examination of
all inmates of the various branches Of
the home. with a view of reducing the
number OF permanent inmates by having
all ~able-bOdied men secure outside en-
ployment AID become independent of the
home. 1t will take some time to make
the change, as there are !. $40 regular in
mates. The rule as to physical examina-
ton, 1t is thought, will reduce the num-
bers so all that arc actually entitled to
care and a home can be properly accom-
modated.

They Kissed and Rugged.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. Sin the
northern part of this county. at Roberts
Chapel, society and religious circles arc
all ablaze. Six members of Roberts
Chapel there have preferred charges
against Mrs. Martha Clark, a beautiful
blonde member OF the congregation, who
for more than two years past has been a
very popular Sunday school superinten-
dent and the principal spirit in it, being
the leader not only in spiritual instruc-
tons, but in music as well. Six members
of the congregation prepared and signed a
charge, addressed and delivered it to W.
e.. Watkins, pastor in charge of the
church, which is in the Southeastern In
diana conference, specifying that Mrs.
Clark has been guilty of unwarranted in
timacy with Nelson Young, a gay wild
over, and at one time class leader, the
precise charge being the hugging and
kissing of Young by Mrs. Clark. A
second item OF the charge is that on the
night Of june 7, IN company with Young,
Mrs. Clark drove into the rough lands of
Brown county. a distance of eighteen
miles, returning the following night, and
while making the journey she was seen to
frequently embrace and kiss Young. The
trial of the charge against Mrs. Clark
will beRin tomorrow before the presiding
elder of the district, Rev. A. n. Marlatt.
Eminent counsel has been employed, and
the case will likely continue several days.
Nothing in religious circles in Southern
Indiana has caused so much excitement
for years, as both parties are highly re.
spected and wealthy.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Secretary
Rusk today received official notice that
the German government had raised the
embargo on American pork. The agree
ment was signed at Cape May ten days
ago. but at the request of the German
government the fact was withheld from
the public press until official action could
be taken by the home government The
agreement not only provides for the
admittance of our pork into Germany, but
also affords to the United States the same
schedule with reference to our farm pro-
ducts as that enjoyed by Russia. Secretary
Rusk is confident that he will soon be able
to extend our market for corn by intro
ducing it into Germany for use as an article
of food in place of rye. the crop Of which
in Germany is this year exceedingly short.
To this end he has instructed his corn

The articles were: Twenty trousers

RALEIGH, N. e., Sept. 3.-The most
remarkable trial ever held in North Caro-
lima has just come to a conclusion at Kins-
ton. II resulted in tine conviction of
Alex Morton, colored, of the crime of
manslaughter and her sentence to twenty
years at hard labor in the penitentiary.
Despite her masculine name Morton is
not a man, but a woman, and this even
log, dressed in women's clothing, was
brought here to the penitentiarv. The
story of her crime reads like a romance.
Alex Morton, a woman masqueradIng in
masculine name and attire, was charged
with the murder of Julia Emery, that
crime having been committed Aug. II,
1890. She was tried last August before
Judge Armfeld, convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged. She was ably
defended by the whole bar OF Kinston.
The case was appealed to the supreme
court and she was given a new trial. She
is more han an Ordinary parsonage OF her
class. She appeared in Lenoir county
about fifteen years ago, disguised liz mans
name and apparel, and maintained sue
c~essfully her disguise until the birth of a
child disclosed her sex. She can read and
write, is a fair mathematician, yerv indus
trious and an invaluable helper on a
farm, having been employed as a boss
on the farm of Chauncy Gray for ff-
teen years. Julia Emery, her victim, was
a white woman, living on the same
farm. near the accused. The principal
witness against her was Giles Parker.

women. The accused became Jealous of
her white rival and warned Parker. whom
she termed her man." by a letter
dropped in the Kinston postOffice, that If
he did not cease his visits and attentions
to his white mistress she would re
move her. On the 10Th of August.
Just after dark. she went to the house of
Julia and found Parker standing near her
white rival. A gun was discharged and
Julia fell dead by his side, the load of
small shot taking effect in the neck and
severing the carotid artery. The muzzle
ofthe gun was jammed almost against the
person of the unsuspecting white woman,
who was badly scorched and burned bv
the powder. The witness, from the well
known form, figure and gait OF the az
cused, positively identified Alex Morton.
She was arrested on the verdict of the
c%oroner's inquest and lodged in Jail. She
stoutly denied the killing. and claimed to
have been the special friend of Julia.
Her employers family believed her inno-
cent, and fought the case with the best
array of legal talent. The woman was in

Prince Russell Snubbed.

New York, Sept. 3.-The Sun says
Collector Fassett, backed by Secretary
Foster, yesterday refused to let Russell
Harrison have the United States revenue
cutter Grant, for the purpose OF going
down the bay to meet and take off Mrs.
Russell Harrison and Mrs. Mckee, when
they arrive on the Majestic. MI. Russell
Harrison is said to have been very angry
at the refusal. The reason given for re-
fusal is that IL is not customary to trans
fer women from steamers TO small craft.
Such transfers are difficult and Ian
eerous even for men. In only two in
stances has the rule been broken. in the
case of Nellie Grant Sartoris. when her

To talk of guarding against cold in
summer seems absurd, and yet it Is as
necessary as in winter. Where the eli
mate is changeable a hot day is often
followed by a cool evening, or a sudden
rain storm chills the air, or a cold wind
springs up, grateful after the heat, but
dangerous to those who are thinly clad
unless they are protected from it by
proper covering. Cotton is a good cou.
ductor of heat and allows it to escape
rapidly from the surface of the body,
AS soon as the surrounding air becomes
cooler than the skin it steals the heat
which the body requires for its w
needs. A fresh supply of heat must be
produced, and thus the system is over.
