Petrifying Waters.

In one or two parts of England there
are wells whose waters petrify any
thing placed therein. The most re-
markable of these petrifying cisterns
are show places in the Wales of Derby
shire. Water strongly impregnated
with lime springs from the surround
ing hills and is conveyed to the wells in
pipes, where scores of jets distribute it
in the form of spray. Birds nests,
baskets, eggs, pipes, the skeletons OF
birds and animals, ETC., are slowly
coated with limestone by the incessant
1au VI Jne spray, and shown Ior speul-
mems of petrifcation. Enterprising
showmen once got possession of well
for the manufacture of petrified
body, but public opinion was so great
that they were driven in disgrace from
the neighborhood

FALSE ASSUMPTIONS.
A Relic of the Old Voodooism of Repub-
lican Ranters.

A Relic of the Old Voodooism of Repub.
lican Ranters.
An administration organ published
recently as a startling exhibit illus
trating ''how republican votes are sup
pressed in five states" table from the
fraudulent census showing the small
proportion of republican votes to the
colored population in Alabama. Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina.
This tattered rag from the shredded
bloody shirt is drawn from four impu-
IDENTIFY false and oft-exploded assump-
tions:
l. That all the southern negroes are
republicans. 2. That they desire to
vote the republican ticket but are pre-
vented from doing so. g. That there is
any canvass or other effort made to in
duce them to vote and 4. That the re.
publican party has done anything for
the colored people within the past
twenty years which should cause them
to give it their support.
From the day when the mass of semi.
Darbarous ignorance at the south was
enfranchised to perpetuate the power of
the republican politicians until now the
leaders of that party have adhered with
Bourbonish persistency to the brutally
frank formula of Thad Stevens: $50
many niggcrs, SO many republican
votes. -
Every open-minded traveller at the
south learned long ago that this claim
is false. The defeat of the infamous
force bill was the final failure to put
that theory in operation The agents
of Quay and Dudley will never be able
to count the negro census as republican
votcs.-N. Y. World.

the charge that the desperate who mur-
dered Detective Gilkinson last Saturday
was the real murderer of Farmer Umber-
ger, for which crime David and Joseph
Nicely are condemned to be executed at
Somerset, Pa. next Thursday. John

says Fitzsimmons is recognized as one ot
two peddlers seen in the neiehborhood OF
the UmberQer homestead the night OF the
murder and robbery and who are believed
to have been the murderers of the old
farmer. The Nicely were convicted on
purely circumstantisl evidence and have
steadily protested their innocence OF the
crime. The friends OF the condemned
will make an effort TO have them respit-

WASHINGTON, Feb. At is learned on
the best of authority that President Harri-
son is seriously considering the advisability
Of appointing William Mckinley Secretary
of the Treasury, vice Window. This be-
coming known in Ohio, McKfnley's constit-
uents in various parts of the State wired
him to-day to decline the preferred honor
and they would guarantee him the n0mina-
ton and election as Governor of Ohio. 1--WE
need you at home," one telegram read,
which was signed by q long list of names Of
prominent Ohio people.
NEW YORK, Feb. 4-The Herald Wash
ington special says: 1t is given out that the
Presidents purpose in asking for an extern
sion of the time within which Secretary
Wlndoms successor must be appointed, had
especially references to Robert Lincoln
Minister to the Court of ST. James. Lincoln
is not at ali satisfied with his present post.
His appointment furnished the strongest
evidence of President HarrisOn'S personal
regard for him, for it was made without
solicitation on his part. In fact, the Illinois
Senators did not themselves know it was
going to be made until the President SO in
formed them.
Since the death of his son Lincoln has
been more restless than ever, and the best
information is that if the Treasury portfolio
be rendered him he would accept it. His
appointment, from political point of view,
would be regarded as especially a happy
one. No public man in America is so uni
versally popular with the colored race as
this son OF the great war President.

HELPLESS AT SEA.
The Steamship Denmark May Have Gone
to the Bottom.

Boston. Feb. 1.-The big National Line
steamship Denmark, bound for New York
from London, is tossing about somewhere
on the Atlantic in a crippled condition, if
she has succeeded in remaining above water
so long. Some apprehension has been felt
for the steamer for several days over her
delayed arrival.
She is more than week overdue, and
yesterday news came from London that she
was passed on January 26th in midocean
lying to In helpless condition. Since that
date nothing has been heard or seen of her,
and her fate is a matter of conjecture.
The Denmark sailed from London on
January 14th and was to arrive twelve days
later. She is under command of Captain
Arthur j. Rigby and carries a cargo of
silks and general merchandise valued at
about 100000. Her crew numbered sixty
eight men, including officers, sailors, en-
gineers, stokers and stewards.
The Denmark and several other vessels
OF the National line fleet carry emigrant
passengers, but it is not known whether
there were any passengers aboard on this
trip. Alter lraving London the Denmark
proceeded at once 10 sea. but was not spoke en-
until she was passed disabled in January.
The vessel that spoke her was bound
from this port to Liverpool, but her name is
not known. The Denmark was then in
latitude AZ, longitude 370, and was about
OuU mites east OF d. JOINS. NeWIounula0u.
The strange steamer hove to close to the
Denmark, and learned by signals that she
was disabled. Beyond this fact nothing
was ascertained and the nature of the
trouble is a mystery
The weather at the time was very severe,
and the Denmark was being tossed about
trightfully. IL was evident that her ma
chinery was crippled, and this fact rendered
her beyond control. If she answered her
helm though it might have been possible to
keep her head 10 the wind and prevent her
from rolling into the trough Of the sea,
otherwise there were slim chances of bring
ing the vessel out of the threatened danger
uninjured.
These steamers do not carry provisions
for over a couple OF weeks, and it is feared
her helpless crew, if not drowned, are starry
ing in some unfrequented portion of the At
lantic.
The Denmark is a bark-rigged, iron
screw steamer of 1924 tons She is $40
feet long, AZ broad and Sc deep, and
has three maats and one funnel. She
had also three decks and seven bulkheads.
and was provided with two vertical engines
and four boilers. She was launched at
Stockton-on-Teas,i in 1865, and was christened
the Chlllan. Later she was renamed and
for twenty years has been called the Den
marx. In November, 1881, she was last sur

Bill Disposed Of
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4-Iu the House this
morning Mckinley asked unanimous con-
sent that during the remainder of the ses-
sion the House meet at II o'clock, but
Rogers of Arkansas objected.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole on the Diplomatic and Consular
Appropriation Bill
During the debate on the bill McAdoo of
New Jersey gave his hearty assent to the
position taken by the Secretary of State
relative TO reciprocity with Canada The
United States should have unres !ric ted trade
and commercial union with Canada, or il
should have no commercial relations with
her. The only solution of the problem a
solution unsought by the United States,
was that the people of Canada should in
their sovereignty ask for annexation, which
was the ultimate destiny of Canada.
The bill, after further discussion, was
laid aside with a favorable recommendation,
and the committee proceeded to the consii-
