A PETRIFIED HUMAN BODY.
1t Was Found by Prospectors in tho Hills of
south Dakota.

St. Louis Globe-Democrat.l
One of the most wonderful discoveries
ever recorded in the Hills was made few
days ago by some parties about ten miles
north of Hot Springs, s. D., near Wind
Cave. They were prospecting in the Hills,
and in coming down into a ravine saw what
appeared to be fossil of some kind, similar
to those found down In the Bad Lands,
east of here. They proceeded to un-
earth it, and to their great establishment
found it to be the petrifaction Of man.
They have sold it to George Bronte, who
now has it on exhibition at Wind Cave,
where q large number Of people are going

height it is feet ~ inches, and belongs to
the dolicephals or round-headed race Of
human beings.
The foot, the left one, the right foot
being missing, must have worn q boot, as
the big toe is very much compressed inward
and the toe nails pressed fiat on the top, the
contrary to those wearing no boots The
left arm is brought down the side with the
hand resting on the abdomen. The right
arm mas disappeared ABOUT three inches
from the shoulder, and it certainly appears
to have been lost prior to the interment, for
while the left hand is securely cemented to
the body from the waist to the finger ends,
there is not the slightest trace of the right
hand in any way having touched the trunk.
Now with the right foot it is the revefse,
for the heels have touched each other, and
with the disintegration of time the right
heel has carried with it portion of the left
on the extreme end. The calves of the legs
are securely cemented together. The lips
and eyes are closed
On the. left arm, extending four inches
above and three below, is what appears to
be huge scar, probably caused by an Ak or
cutlass. and under the left ear is small in
cision ~ inches long, which looks as if
caused.by knife or dagger. The skin is
perfect in minute lines, and except few
pockmarks, probably caused by insects, is
absolutely perfect 1t appears that the
specimen is one of the Ango-saxon race, as
all the characteristics Of an Indian are
wanting. There can be no doubt but it is
one of the most perfect petrifactions ever
discovered.

Adopting Jerry Rusk's System.
The Government of Russia is planning
great works to prevent the recurrence of
such condition as now exists. A fund of
$40, 600, 900 has been set aside to build ele-
vators and places for the storage of grain
in all of the various districts, and through
our Consul General, Dr. John M. Crawford,
the Interior Department has investigated
our system of crop reports, and has just now
decided to adopt this system for Russia
Secretary Rusk forwarded full information,
and from now on the same organized system
that we have constructed will be in force
here. Heretofore Russia has had no agri-
cultural statistics and the peasants have
lived from hand to mouth. They are not
economical or thrifty nor accumulative in
our sense Of the word, and it requires .
study of their character and their condition
to understand the situation.
Thirty years ago they were in the condi-
tion to q great extent of our slaves at the
South, and if to-day the negro and the
planter had been left to work out their sal

curious features of their life and character,
which are like those of no other people in

Pittsburs, Cincinnati and Indianapolis TO
Be in a New Tn satricaI Circuit.
Managers Henck & Fennessy, of the Peo-
ple's Theater, Cincinnati, have entered into
combine with Harry Williams, of this
city, to have circuit of variety houses in
connection with the Pittsburg and Cincin-
natl houses. 1t was the intention to secure
establishments in St. Louis, Louisville and
indianapolis, but, not succeeding entirely
to their satisfaction, Mr. Henck finally de-
termined to purchase ground and erect a
new theater in indianapolis. For
the present their operations will be
confined to Pittsburg, Cincinnati and
indianapolis. The circuit will be
known as the Empire. Only first-class
comedy, vaudeville and spectacular attrac-
tions will be run. Louis Robbie will look
after the Peoples Theater and James E.
Fennessy will be General Manager of the
circuit, also of the new theater which will
also be known as the Empire. Manager
Williams will look after their interests at
this end of the line.

the object of the combine was to secure
only first-class attractions and keep them in
the circuit. st. Louis and Louisville will
pro badly be added later when the scheme
has been thoroughly tested

THREE NEGROES LYNCHED.

They Were Charged With Having Beaten
Mrs. Bryant to Secure Her Money-A
Plot Led by the Cook-Quick Work of
the Angry Mob.
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, May 16.-At Chill
dersburgh this morning three negroes,
Berry Rowden, Jim Rowden and Will
Cantor, were hanged and shot on the bridge
of the Georgia Central Railroad over the
Coosa River. The bodies were cut down
and fell into the river, two of them only
being recovered The lynching was
sequel to a tragedy enacted on Saturday
night at the home of Die Bryant, four
miles out of town.
Some unknown person entered his resi-
dence while he was absent and made his way
to Mrs. Bryant's bedroom. She was sleep.
ing with two little children and the man at
tackled her with light wing knot, striking
her two blows on the head. She undertook
to scream and was fearfully choked. Finally
the man became frightened and left. 1t
was supposed that his motive was to. get
some money which Bryant had received
from sales of cotton and had put in his trunk.
When Bryant left home Saturday night
his wife asked the cook to remain with her,
but she refused. This led to the cook being
suspected, and a report comes that she
finally confessed that it was plot between
herself and her two brothers, the Rowden
negroes and Will Cantor, to get Bryant's
money, and she and Cantor were to GO away
and marry on their share. The three
negroes were arrested yesterday while hid
ing in swamp, and put in the Childers-
burgh jail
A mob of so men went there in the night,
but the marshal was informed of their pur-
pose and drove them away with threats
They retired across hill, and the marshal
went home to bed. This morning be found
his prisoners gone. The discovery of the
two bodies in the river followed soon after.

A TERRIFIC HURRICANE

Passes Over New Zealand, Wrecking Ves-
sells on tho Coast and Killing Many
PeopIe-Trees Torn Up and Blown Out
to Sea-Damage Unestimated.
WELLINGTON, n. e., May 16-A ter
| rife hurricane has passed over Central New
Zealand, and the loss of life and damage
done is enormous. Long before the hurri-
| cane broke the barometer gave warning OF
its coming, but very little could be done to
protect property from its fury. The sky,
which had been blue and cloudless, gradually
took on muddy yellowish hue. The air
was perfectly calm. The sea was unmarked
with single breaking wave, but heavy
ground swell sent huge rollers chasing one
another with glassed, unbroken surfaces
The stiffness Immediately preceding the
storm was oppressive. Suddenly, far out
at sea could be seen dark cloud resting
upon the waters and rapidly approaching
the land At its top masses OF vapor
tumbled and rolled like the boiling of
gigantic caldron, while the bottom was con-
cealed by line of dark green water lifted
from the ocean, piling and rolling, driven
BY the tremendous force that was fastening
to its work of destruction.
The air became dark and sudden coolness
permeated the atmosphere. Nearer and
nearer approached the swiftly coursing
messenger of destruction, and then with
shrek and howl the gale burst in all its
fury. With sullen roar the waters which
had led the gale burst with laundering
crash upon the shores. Gigantic
trees swayed almost to the ground beneath
the force of the wind, and then when they
could stand the strain no longer, snapped
like dried twigs in the hands of a strong
man. In some cases the whole tops of trees
whipped of, caught up and carried oft to
the windward, floating on the gale as easily
and lightly as bit of down in summer
breeze Naught could be heard above the
din of the elements. The rain fell in sheets,
threshing remaining leaves from the trees,
and causing the small streams and brooks
to become rushing torrents. All along the
coast the sea waters were discolored by the
quantities of earth carried into them from
the shores.
Thousands of wild birds, helpless and
frightened, were blown out to sea there to
perish. Hour after hour passed and there
was no abatement in the hurricanes terrible
energy. 1t is late autumn in the antipodes,
and in many places the crops were awaiting
the hands of the harvesters. Hundreds of
acres of wheat, corn, oats and barley were
ruined, the standing crops being beaten
down and badly twisted and matted
At sea the scene defed description. The |
vessels in the offing, which before the gale
could be seen lying under storm sails, were |
soon lost to view in the swirling cloud rack. |
After the storm had passed it was found |
that many coasting vessels had been piled |
upon the shores, and it is believed that the |
loss of life, when all the details have been |
received, will prove to have been very |
heavy.
Reports from all the parts of the country |
visited by the hurricane show that build |
ings have been either blown down or un-
rooted in every direction. The money |
damage caused by the storm cannot be esti- |
mated

GENERAL GRBssER's CRUELTY.
The Cause of His Death Was Bis Acts In

LONDON, May 1.-THE TeIegraph's Vienna
correspondent saws: There is no doubt that
General Gresser, the Prefect of St. Peters
burg, was the victim of a plot of which
Gatchowsky was innocent, and that the
plotters tampered with the ''Vitaline" with
which General Gresser was treated.
Two plans have been formed to remove
Gresser within the past six months His
treatment Of criminals and suspects was
barbarous He addressed authors and
journalists like common Iaborers, and often
banished them without trial. He intro
duced the system of torture of non-political
prisoners in all prisons. All attempts to
persuade the Emperor to remove him failed.

peculiar. There has been a complete revo-
luton in sentiment among money lenders.
The "slumpg" in stocks and bonds has
created distrust for loans based on such
collaterals, and the same cause has turned
the attention of investors TO real estate. The
universal curtailment by factors of ad-
Vances made to cotton and naval store pro-
uucers has caused factors TO require much
less money; consequently cash is rapidly

Among the legitimate results of this con-
