times gets into some dairymen's

1t is sign that the stable is not

night can hardly give first quality

a stable is not we'll arranged for clean
illness, or else that the owner neglects

is not TO provide sufficient deodorizing

PARIS, Nov. 5.-The British bark
Norcross, which left Philadelphia on
October for Rouen with a load of Pc
troleum, has been burned in the Seine
with loss of three and probably ten
lives Capt. Roop had his wife with
him and both were saved. How the
fire originated is not known. AS soon
as the petroleum caught an explosion
followed and a bright flame shot up
into the air where the dense smoke
almost hid the bark from those on
shore. The crew rushed to the side
and leaped into the river. The captains
wife was saved chiefly by her husbands s
exertions. Five others were also saved.
The remains of three of the crew,
horribly burned, were found in the
river and seven others are missing,
and it is thought they have gone to the
bottom. Several of the survivors were
injured by the burning petroleum
which f1oated on the water. making ap-
proach to the wreck dangerous.

Negro and a Deputy Marshal Killed on
Train in Texas.

ARpMoRE, I. T., Nov. A bloody
tragedy occurred early Thursday morn
ing on the Santa Fe passenger train be-
tween here and Gainesville, Tex, in
which one deputy and negro passen-
ger on the train were killed. The
tragedy took place in the combination
smoking-car which is reserved
for negroes. In that compartment
there were travelling four negroes and
three United States deputy marshals
named Smith, Armstrong and Booker.
A quarrel arose and Smith, who was
riding in front of the negroes, started
to go back to the other compartment.
The negro who had started the
quarrel evidently thought the
deputy was about to attack
him and drawing revolver shot him
through the heart. Immediately bat
tie between the whites and blacks en-
sued, in which large number of shots
were fired. When the melee ended it
was found that the negro who had at
tackled Smith had been killed. When
the train arrived here all those con-
cerned in the affair We're arrested.
