WOODS ON TURPIE.
Tho Senator Had Declared Himself q
Friend to the Judge.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, March 19.-The
business in the district court is in rather
congested state, for the reason that the
regular time for calling grand jury and
proceeding with the trial of criminal
cases has passed two months ago. When
the time arrived Judge Woods's nomina.
ton had been pending already month,
and, as he was expecting to be transfer
red every week, he decided not to inaug-
urate any new cases, but leave them for
his successor. In view of this delayed
condition of affairs in the district court,
it is considered probable that Judge
Woods's successor will be named at an
early day, probably next week.
Judge Woods is very sore over the fight
that was made against him, and in an in
terview yesterday had this to say about
Senator Turpie's action: eff Senator Tur-
pie is properly reported, either since my
nomination by the President OF before it,
he has played the part of a hypocrite. He
had always borne himself toward me as
personal friend until he began his bitter
fight against me in the United States
Senate.''

LYNN, Mass, March 19.-Eight persons
were terribly burned, one fatally, by a
lamp exploding this evening in the house
of Mrs. Margaret Couhig on Hollings-
worth street. Mrs. Couhig's daughter,
Mrs. James A. Carter, in moving lamp
from the mantel, dropped it. The lamp
fell on the stove and broke. The kero-
sene covered Mrs. Carter and the babe in
her arms and their clothing caught fire.
Dropping the babe, Mrs. Carter fell un-
conscious, enveloped in flames. Helen
M. Couhig, Mrs. Carter's sister, saved the
baby and was badly burned herself. The
others were burned in extinguishing the
flames on Mrs. Carter. Mrs. Carter was
burned fatally, her sight being destroyed
and her face and body badly burned.

Excitement in Monmouth Over a Mysteri.
GUS Disappearance.

WINTHROP, March 20.-There is great
excitement in Monmouth and the sur
rounding towns over the sudden mystic
rious disappearance of Frank L. Braley,
the IA year old son of William A. Braley,
who resides on farm a short distance
from Purgatory Mills, Litchfeld. The
missing boy is of light complexion with
brown hair and blue eyes, is five feet two
inches in height and weighs 1876 pounds.
He is intelligent, of good address and
has always been an industrious, dutiful
boy. Sunday evening, March 9th, it was
supposed he retired as usual, although
rather later than common. 1t is thought
he appeared somewhat strange. Monday
morning, when called he did not answer,
and investigation showed his room va
cant, the window being open. Tracks
showed that he took his departure dur
ing the night A fortnight's most dill
gent, but quiet search. on the part of Mr..
Braley and various officials, failed to re-
veal the slightest trace. The family re-
lations have always been most pleasant
and the boys reason for leaving is not
known, although some think he was in
fluenced to do so, and others think that
he may have taken his life. His mother
died a few months ago and he may have
brooded over it until itaffected his mind.

A Long Ferry Indeed.

A sixty mile ferry is a novelty Of
rather doubtful success, but the Toledo,
Ann Arbor and Northern Michigan rail-
road proposes to have one across Lake
Michigan from Kewaunee to Frankfort.
The ferry steamer now in course Of con-
Btruction will cost $250,000, and it is
expected to carry forty freight cars and
make the sixty mile crossing in five
hours. This will save from six dollars
to twelve dollars on each car, the shift
ing of freights costing that much more
than ferrying the cars, and there viii
be much less liability to breakage.
Should it prove successful, Milwaukee
will also have ferry, and big results
are expected.

The Strike Threatens to Stop Flour

WINNIPEG, Man., March 20. - The
strike situation ON the Canadian Pacific
looks more serious tonight. The trouble
exists on the Pacific division to Vancou-
yer as we'll as on the western division
from Fort Williams to Donald. The con-
ductors and trainmen on the Pacific di-
vision have made practically the same
demand for increased pay as those of the
western division. The company did not
grant the demand, and ordered all con-
ductors on the Pacific division to give a
pledge of loyalty to the company, on pain
of dismissal. AS result of this order,
nearly all trainmen of the Pacific divis-
ion refused to go to work, and since
Tuesday last all the trains have been run
by the superintendent and other officials
of the road as conductors and brakemen.
The situation in Winnepeg is strained.
today owing to the arrival Of Chief Clark
of the Order of Conductors. tits report
ed that Clark comes with $150,000 which
is to be expended if necessary in secur-
ing a victory for the trainmen. Yester-
days through passenger trains were
from six to ten hours behind and all
branch lines were cancelled. The effect
of the strike is being felt in business Cir
cles and many cars of freight are side
tracked between here and Fort William
and east of there. The Touring mills at
Portage and Winnipeg will be compelled
to shut down if the blockade is not
raised owing to scarcity of cars for
wheat and flour.

SOME CENSUS WONDERS.
Fruits Of the Tropics Raised in the
United States.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
COCOANUT TREES

And Other Products Of Southern Chimes
Snow Swept New England-Twenty
Million Dollars Now Paid Annually for
Fruit Which Might Be Grown at
Home.
WASHINGTON, March 20. - Nothing
more strikingly illustrates the growth
and future possibilities of this United
States of ours than the variety and possi-
bility of a variety of its products. Be-
sides corn, wheat, hogs, cattle and cotton
the possibility and practicability of its
producing pretty nearly everything else
that we may need is rapidly being proved
Superintendent of the Census Porter
shows the practicability of producing
every orange, lemon, cocoanut, banana
fig, almond, pineapple and olive that the
people of this great country want or will
want in the future.
Who would have thought, for instance,
that there are now a half-million or
more almond trees in the United States
actually bearing; that the bearing cocoa
nut trees could be counted by the hund-
red thousands; that there are more than
quarter of a million olive trees produc-
ing fruit equal to the best Mediterranean
variety; that the bearing banana plants
number over half-million, the bearing
lemon trees nearly 100000, orange trees
nearly 100000 and pineapples over 21,-
100000? Yet it is a fact. Very
few people probably would have
guessed the value of tropic and semi
tropic fruits and nuts produced in this
temperate zone at SIS, 900, 900 or 20, 600, 900
annually, yet such is also the fact The
census estimates the value of such por-
tions of the product of these trapic and
semi-tropic fruits and nuts, as are re-
ported, at over 1000, 600, and it is prob
able that if the total could be had it
would run up to $20,0O0,O00.
The field which this bit of information
opens to enterprising citizens of the
United States is large. Oranges, ba-
nanas, lemons, olives, pineapples and al
most every branch in fact of this class of
articles is represented largely in the i'm
portation into this country, and the
fruits and nuts imported run from $780,
OOO, 600 to $25, 600 900 year.
Besides this list of the tropical fruits
which are produced so largely in both
Florida and California, there are many
others less widely known, such as guava,
kaki, citron, pomedo and almonds, BAN
anas, eggs and cocoanuts.

Tests for Diamonds.

To test a diamond, pierce hole in q
card with needle and look through it
at the stone. If false, you will see two
holes, but if you have real diamond,
but single hole will appear. Another
way is to look through the diamond at
your finger. If false, you can see the
texture of the skin, but if it be true
the refraction will prevent that. In
looking through real diamond the set
ting is, for the same reason, never yisi-
BILE, but in a false one it is. ,.assssy......s

WANTS TO COMPROMISE.

Won Caprivi Still Chancellor and Trying
to Prevent Trouble.
BERLIN, March 20.-Prince Henry, af-
ter a conference with Chancellor Won
Caprivi on Saturday, joined Emperor
William, and all three are now at Huber
tussock.
The semi official announcement is made
that the Emperor's condition is satisfac-
tory. This statement has only served to
incr ease feeling regarding the Emperors
physical and mental condition, which is
alleged by popular rumor to be alarming.
1t is agreed that he must be seriously af-
fected or he would not yield to the ad-
vice to take vacation at this Juncture.
Hitherto he has scorned all appeals to re-
inquish work on account of physical i'll
ness or mental strain.
The Kreuz Zeitung says the emperor S
letter to Count Won Zeidlitz, accepting
the latters resignation, is couched in very
friendly terms. 1t is now believed there
will be no change in the cabinet beyond
the appointment of successor to Count
Zeidlitz.
LONDON, March 2O.-The Times Ber-
lin correspondent says: ''Far from resig-
ming, Chancellor Won Caprivi is seeking
to prevent the disruption of the cabinet.
He will seek to effect compromise.
The first thing to be done is to get rid of
the education bill. Another portfolio,
probably that of the interior, can then be
offered to Count Won Zeidlitz." The
correspondent intimates that the change
will postpone the education bill until the
country has pronounced an opinion.

HALLowELL, March 20.-Local capi-
talists here about four years ago invested
in mining strip in Colorado. They put
in the necessary amount of money, in
tending to let the property be idle for
some years. Meanwhile the valuable
Sheridan mine has been opened up on
one side of it, and but very recently the
mushroom city of Crete on the othe side.
The great finds in the latter city and the
knowledge that the property of the Hal
lowell men was of the same character as
this property have led a party of Maine
capitalists to make large offer for a
part of it, the design being if they are
successful to form a close corporation
and to develop this property.

VICTORIA, B. c., March 20.-Steamer
Samorie has arrived from China and
Japan. A telegram from Kochi, dated
February 2Sth states that with the excep-
ton of the Tooa and Aki districts, the
whole of the Kochi prefecture is con-
vulsed by strife between the Liberal and
National parties, who fight with swords
and firearms. The police are unable to
restore order and already several men of
prominence have been murdered. In
the district of Heda, pitched battle was
going on between the factions, about one
thousand men being engaged on each
side. During the warfare, fire broke out
but the struggle was continued with the
utmost fury, many being killed or
burned to death. At Motoyma, the bal
lot box was protected by some three
thousand liberals.
Tronble has arisen between the govern
or of the Strait settlement and the for
eign consuls resident in Singapore. The
governor, having the duty to inform the
consuls of the death of the Duke of Clar-
