On both sides of the Atlantic equally,
the INTERPOLATION Of fossilized forests
bears authentic witness to the sweeping
yer the land of two great waves of ice
invasion. The trees manifestly grew
where the glaciers had been; again the
glaciers crept forward to constitute
themselves the sepulchers of the trees.
The second advance, however, fell short
Of the first, and succeeded it at an un-
known interval Of time. Opinions are
much divided as to its true significance.

beds" with merely partial oscillations of

New YORK. June 27.--.A murder has
just been committed in the court Of gen
eral sessions. Max Clerget, who was be.
fore the bar to answer to the charge Of
raping 15-year old Sarah Divin, was shot
through the heart and instantly killed
by the girls brother, 25-year old Edward
Divin. The utmost excitement pre-
vailed. The scene was dramatic in the
extreme.
A few minutes before young Clerget
vas shot to death Rev. Thomas Dixon
had been called upon to plead guilty to
the charge of libeling Excise Commis-
sioner Koch. AS Clerget stepped to
plead his face was very white and per-
spiration stood in beads on his forehead.
The little girl whom he had ruined vas
in court and began to cry softly as Ger
get admitted his guilt. The prisoner
never looked at her. ''Remanded until
Thursday for sentence" said Judge
MARITIME. Up to this point the case had
been conducted in the most rigid rou-
tine way and little or no attention was
paid to the prisoner as he turned his
back on the Judge and started for the
prisoners pen.
Young Owens sat near the pen On the
end OF one of the benches reserved for
the public. He is a thin. emancipated
looking a As Clerget approached
him his black eyes lighted. lie leaned
partially forward, The people aftcrward
remembered he had one hand in bis
jacket pocket. Clerget saw him Just as
he neared the pen door. He %faltered
and raised his hand in a deprecatingwa way
toward Owens. who sprang %forward.
clapped his pistol to the left breast Of
his sisters betrayer and fired one shot
Clerget fell on the broad of his back
dead. For IN instant there was moi
another sound in the room. The smoke
from the pistol mounted in the air.
Owens stood over his victim, a look o
hate on his face and his derringer point
ed down at the m~otionless figure on the
floor. The police, after first re.
covering from the lethargy, jumped
for the murderer. He made no Re.
sistance amt was led into the hall,
Then he became hysterical and cried
aloud for his sister. He was taken be-
fore the o who committed him at
ono He refused to make any state
ment but on the way to prison he con
tinued to call for Sarah, Sarah the
dead mans victim. Clerget's body was
taken to the morgue where an autopsy
was made. The bullet cut clear through
his heart. Death was instaneous. Gen
eral sympathy is expressed for Devins
whose brain is thought to have been
turned by the run of his sister who was
his pet and favorite. He has always
been sickly and p~aralytic, the muscles Of
his right side being seriously effected
he gave his age as 25 years. He was
born here and Clerget in Paris.

Eleven Persons Now Dead ~ a Result
of the Wreck on the Penn
sylvania Railroad.
The Accident Due to the Negligence Of
a Operator in Giving
Signals.
The Young Man Realizes His
Position and Is Nearly
CraZed.
Telegraph Operator Responsible.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June oh. s.
Hayes, telegraph operator at the Steel
ton tower, practically admitted before
the coroneris inquest this afternoon that
he was responsible for the frightful
wreck on the Pennsylvania road this
morning in which eleven people lost their
lives and thrice as many we're seriously
injured. Hayes, who is a young man of
% years. was arrested tonight at the in
stance of Coroner Hoy on a charge of
manslaughter. lie is now in Jail and
his mental distress is terrible to witness.
Fears are expressed that he may lose his
mind. The young man has not been in
the service of the company for more
than a few months and has been extra
operator going wherever he was Or
dered. Last night he was on duty at
the Steelton tower as a substitute for
VIM. Good. the regular operator.
He allowed the second section of the
express to enter the block before the
first section had passed out at the west
ern end against the rules of the com-
pany. and the disaster is the result of
his violation of rules. When informed
of the wreck and loss of life he became
almost frantic and the day operator was
ordered on duty. He simply assumed
that the first section had passed tho
block without troubling himself about
any notification from the Dock street
tower to that effect. Hayes was closely
questioned and during his examination
was greatly agitated. frequently break.
ing down and weeping bitterly. He is
an unsophisticated youth and but lately
left a farm in York county. He frankly
admitted that he gave Engineer Kelly
the white signal to go on without first
having been notified that the block was
clear, but he thought he was not wholly
responsible for the accident. He said
other operators had made the same mis-
take. but the consequences were not
quite so bad. He withheld nothing
from the jury and cried as though his
heart would break as he finished his tes-
timony.
Joseph II. Kirkpatrick, engineer on
the first section. said he was stopped at
the Dock street tower and that the de
tention was caused by a freight ahead;
that when his train was struck he was
running at the rate of eight miles an
hour. The hagman, he said. had ample
time to get back and stop the tram fol-
lowing. He considers Engineer Kelly of
the second section a capable engineer.
Charles Hannah, fireman of the first sec
ton. corroborated Kirkpatrick.
The jury will visit the scene of the
wreck tomorrow and conclude it's sitting
Monday morning. The injured at the
city hospital are all doing well and it is
believed all will recover with the eAcep-
ton. possibly. of Frederick Goldberg of
Brooklyn. The physicians are afraid he
cannot recover. The number of passen-
gers still at the hospital is about
eighteen. The death of Prof. Smith of
Baltimore this evening was the eleventh.
His body was taken home this evening.

Every one in New York who eats salad
thinks that there are a few people in
town who can make a fairly good salad
dressing, but that hone of them can come
up to the dressings made by him (the
thinker).
II tell you. sir" said Boggs, the gour-
mand, as he delnges the lettuce with
grease, "that fellow Snoggs thinks he
knows how to do this, but he doesn't
have any more idea of it than a COW.
Think of it, he puts in more vinegar than
oil!'
At the same moment Snoggs is mixing
a dressing in another part Of town and
snickering to himself as he remarks: II
was very much amused the other night
at the way Boggs did this. He actually
made a dressing without vinegar! Ha!
Ha!' and every n laughed.
Then there is Juggins, of West Thirty
views. ANY man." he declares, "who
puts mustard in u salad shows his igno-
rance."
Muggins, Of East SiXty-seventh street,
also has decided convictions. What do
you Think" he roars out; ~ saw Juggins
putting mustard in II salad dressing"
Then some put in sugar. Others think
this an awful absurdity. A few use IA
dab of Worcestershire sauce. Others
would rather be lynched than follow
their example.
The funny thing is that there is only
one way to make a salad dressing. That
is the way known to the reader of this
article.
But the funniest thing is that the same
diner out will devour the dressing made
by Boggs and join in with his jokes at
the expense of the dressings made by
Snoggs, Muggins and Juggins. Then the
same man will eat at the table of Mug
gins and apparently sheer with that per-
son at the efforts of Snoggs, Boggs and
Juggins.
There's a lot of conceit and deceit
about salad dressings.-New York Her

BIG GUNS FOR THE FAIR.
Krupp Intends to Make the Biggest Dis

Krupp Intends to Make the Biggest Dis
play Ever Seen.
CHICAGO, June 24.-Krupp, the cele-
brated German gunmaker, is meeting
with a good many difficulties in arrang-
ing for the exhibit at the Worlds fair.
He expects to make the biggest show of
his life, among the features Of his display
being one gun weighing 100 tons. 1t is
impossible to get a derrick in New York
big enough to lift this gun from the ship
to the cars. and Krupp is not sure that
even then the gun car be shipped on any
freight cars in this country. He would
have to spend 100000 to build a derrick
big enough to lift his guns from the yes
sells, and under these circumstances the
big gunmaker has about decided to ship
guns on his own cars in the largest
freight steamers. These cars are OF the
gauge as American railways and
by sending them along Krupp expects
to avoid the expense of building derricks
at New York.

Hit With a Piece Of Gingerbread.

LONDON, June 25.-A report has been
received that Gladstone was stoned, but
later it was ascertained that the guilty
person was a woman and that the
missile was a large piece Of hard ginger
bread. kThe gingerbread was thrown
with considerable force and struck
Gladstone on the nose just beneath the
left eye and then glanced upward, graz
ing the aged statesman's eye and caus-
ing him much pain. Two doctors re-
lieved the sufferer and he addressed the
meeting at Chester.after which he placed
himself in the care OF an oculist. The
injury is said to be serious. The woman
has not yet been arrested.

A Really Absentm inded Woman.

An absentminded woman put herself
on record the other morning in a cross
town car, which she boarded at Sixth
avenue, bound east. She paid her fare,
said Third avenue to the conductor,
took Il second nickel for her ticket on the
elevated. and, shutting her purse, gave
herself over to some evidently absorbing
thought.
The car was full Of changing people.
as is usual with crosstOwn cars, and u
moment later the conductor, making his
round again, noticed the nickel and me-
chemically reached for it. The woman
gave it to him without a word and rode
on. Near Fourth avenue she suddenly
started out of her reflections, glanced
around, saw that she was near her des-
tination, took out a third nickel to have
it ready and Once more knit her brews
in meditation. Before Third avenue was
reached the conductor passed her again.
This time she proffered him the nickel,
which he would stolidly have taken save
for the intervention of an old gentleman
seated opposite.
MADAM" he said, ''you have already
paid your fare twice"
The woman started and looked con-
fused, then "A light dawned on her face,
she thanked the gentleman, put her
nickel into her purse and the purse deer
into a mysterious pocket somewhere in
the back of her dress just as Third
venue was reached. When last seen
