A GOOD MARKET CROSS.

Experiments made by crossing an
Indian game male with Plymouth
Rock hens, the past season, resulted in
some very choice table birds, and which
sold readily in the market. The only
objection was the leggy appearance Of
the chicks when about half grown, hut
their appearance did not indicate truly
their weight, as every one weighed at
least half a pound more than other
chicks of the same age, from different
crosses, while their quality was far above
that of any other market cross made.
The game improves all other breeds for
the table, but the chicks seem to be
somewhat tender when young.

west. bound main tracks of the Central
railroad oil New Jersey, two Hungarian
women from Constable Hook attempted
to cross TIE East Twenty first-street
crossing in Bayonne, instead of passing
over the bridge erected above the tracks.
The lowering OF the CT, ssing gate, and
the peril in which they found themselves,
bewildered the women, and they ran
frauticalIv back and forth across the
tracks. One of the women managed to
escape beneath the gates. The other
finally stood spellbound On the west
bound track, and the locomotive of the
approaching express was almost upon
her, when Frank Miller, one of the flag
men employed at the crossidg. dashed to
her re-cue. Miller hasli:F pushed her off
the track, and then sought to leap safely
aside. Before he was able to clear the
track the locomotive struck him, and he
was hurled aside, and fatally injured. He
was removed by the police to the Bay

courthouse yard fer the murder of
Thomas Clinton Beebe last October.

vicious and des perate character.
He spoke in loud and distinct voice
and without tremor until he came to

At TitusvilIe.

TITUsvILLE, Pa, June 5.-The city OF
Titusvllle was visited during the past "a
hours by one of the most disastrous fires
and floods in all the history of the region.
Oil creek overfowed It's banks, and for
hours swept throus b the city In the pro
portions of an almost resistess flood. The
city is without fuel, lights and water
works, and is surrounded by water. The
Perry street and Franklin street iron
bridges are swept away, scores oil cheap
dwellings in the lower part of the city
destroyed, and large number of lives
lost. Some were burned. but the ma
jority were drowned. When morning
broke, hundreds of ANXIOUS people look
ed out of the windows, or stood on the
roofs of their houses, waiting for help
ing nand and trembling for their fate.
To add to the horror of the scene, RAIN
fell IN torrents and IRE broke out in the
refineries at different points. The burn :
ing oil swept down raging current, and
communicated to the manufacturing cs-
tablishments and houses, and the des-
truction was increased hundredfold.

thunder storm played havoc throughout
Lackawanna county last night. 1t be

MONTEREY, CAL, June 3.-From pri-
vute advices reciyed in this city 1t is re-
ported that Romuldo Pacheco, United
States minister to Guatemala, who is
well known in this place. Is soon to dis
place Minister Ryan as the accredited
representative of the United States in
Mexico. This contemplated change in
Pacheco's mission is said to be due to a
desire of the secretary of state to success
fully establish reciprocity with Mexico.
The negotiations between our govern
ment and Guatemala, which resulted In
he'adoption ofreciprocity by the latter,
were managed by Pacheco, who is OF
Spanish origin and peculiarly adapted
for such delicate diplomatic work. This
success has inspired the administration
with the belief that Pacheco can induce
the Mexican government to respond to
its desire for closer reciprocal relations.
What disposition is to be made of Ryan
csonot be ascertained. Pacheco will
leave San Francisco for Guatemala Sat-
urday, but Is expected to return soon to
assume his duties ct his new post.

Terrible are the sights witnessed by

showing that death visited them stimuli

The charred trunks and bloated bodies
are belng taken to the higher ground and
laid under temporary sheds to protect

The dead are lying everywhere, and
there is constant stream of stretchers

unfortunate victim.
TITUsvILLE, Pa, June 6.-Never in
the history OF TitusviiIe has such a scene
of desolatlon been unfolded to the gaze
as an Associated Press representative saw
this morning when he entered the main
thoroughfare. The first sight was six
men carrying dead body on s,retcher.
Within 10 minutes the sight became so
common that it caused little surprise.
1t is now estimated that 500 persons
were drowned or burned to death.
The weather is growing warm, and the
charred flesh is beginning to poliu,e the
air.
The fire was caused by spark from q

whole families were swept away before
they realized their danger.
The volume of the flood was greatly
by the breaking of dams at
ctville and Sparsansburg.
The Queen City laundry has just
caught fire and threatens the unburnt

WALLACE, Ida, June 6.-Govenor Will
ley's proclamation calling upon miners
unions to disband, has caused an intense
feeling of Indignation among miners and
their sympatblzers, and mass meetings OF
miners and citizens to denounce the proc
lamation will be held In every town
In the Ceur d'Alenes this week. All the
towns will join in the demonstration at
Wallace Friday evening. fhe mines are
gradually filing with non union men.
The Morning mine has 70 men, the
Frisco has so. the Sierra Nevada 90, aud
the Banker Hill aud Sullivan 150. The
number of men needed, however, by all
the mines is about $500. Of the men
now at work few are good miners, and
the majority common laborers. While a
bitter feeling exists between the miners
and the mlne owners, there is no cause
to fear serious trouble.

hattering.
