LOUISVILLE, Jan. 27--Mrs. Morris
Belknap, the wife of a member of
the big wholesale hardware firm, has
fallen heir TO miser's great wealth.
Mrs. Jane Kingsbury died at Lynn,
Conn, recently, in apparent poverty.
The belief that she was miser led to =
search in the old broken-down house in
which she had passed her days. A
thorough overhauling of the trunks and
beds discovered 500, 900 in coins and bills.
Fourteen thousand dollars in gold $50
pieces were found in an old sack. A
bank book representing $40 900 more was
also found. Mrs Kingsbury was the
mother-in-law of Ex-Governor Simon
Bolivar Buckner, and his daughter, Mrs.
Morris Belknap, therefore falls heir to
the wealth. There are no other heirs.

SOMETHING NEW IN HISTORY.
A Woman First Apprised Columbus That

Woman First Apprised Columbus That
lie Had Found the New World.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 27-Mr. w. E..
Curtis, director Of the bureau of Ameri-
can republics and chief of the South
American department of the worlds
fair, relates an interesting story about
the discovery Of America. He said that
as a woman Qsabella) had sent him from
the Old World, SO woman gave hi
his first view of the New. This woman
had never received any honor or notice
in history. art or song but in the future
that would not be the case. She was
the wife of fisherman. 1t was the
custom of the island near which Colum-
bus landed for the women, mostly wives
of fishermen, to go down to the beach
when their husbands were out after
dark, and, by waving torches, guide
them safe to shore.
On She night OF the day before land
was seen Columbus, pacing the deck Of
the Santa Maria, saw light ahead It
was not fixed like that of star; 1t
moved, as if waving in direction to some
unseen one, and the great discoverer
knew as he had never known before that
his patient search and unfaltering trust
were to be rewarded. Mr.. Albert Bier
stadt, the great artist, Is now putting on
canvas q representation of that scene,
which will illustrate to future genera
tions the welcome of Columbus to the
new land by the wife of fisherman.

facture.
BETHLEHEM, Pa, Jan. 27.--Last Fri
day the Bethlehem Iron company
achieved another triumph. 1t was of an
unique and marvellous engine of war,
at the works of e. W. Bliss g. Com
pany, Brooklyn, that the success of the
new manufacture was demonstrated.
There was tested the first flask of do
mestic manufacture for 100 whitehead
torpedoes for the navy. The flask was
fifty feet long by seventeen and three
quarter inches in diameter, with a shell
whose thicl ness is thirty-four one-hun
dredths of an inch. 1t was made by the
Bethlehem Iron company, and proving
successful in the test required, is ac-
cepted.
The test consists in filling the flask
with oil and subiecting it to a pressure
of 2,025 pounds to square inch. The
steel must Withstand this pressure with
out leakage and the cylinder must ex-
actly recover its original dimension when
the pressure is removed. The cylinder
must not, when the pressure is 1850
pounds to the square inch extend by
more than oue-fiftieth of an inch. The
Bethlehem's flask successfully met all
these requirements. 1t is quite probable
that contract for the manufacture of
the one hundred TASKS will be given out
in few days by the navy department,
and there is scarcely any doubt about
the Bethlehem Iron company rece1v-
ing it,

HE'S LEGALLY DEAD, ANYHOW.

nounced very dead man by the physi-
clans, as well as by others who saw him
cut down, coffined and placed in a
wagon to be taken over the mountains
to his old home for burial. 1t is pretty
certain that Moore was not dead, and
that the shaking up he received in the
ride in his coffin over rough roads re-

original strength. Several persons claim

IN WASHINGTON.
The Capitol Stin in an Excited Condi-
tion-Cabinet Meeting.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-EXcitement
over the Chilian situation has not been
much abated by the cable from Santi-
ago, stating that a reply had been sent
to our government and that the condi-
tions of our demands would be met. So
great has been the tension upon the
nerves Of people here for more than a
month, that it will require an absolute
backdown on the part of Chill to secure
perfect quiet again.
In short, the populace here, both local
and transient, is for war, and it will re-
quire great deal of peaceful and re-
gretful expressions from Chill, backed
up by recorded evidence of sincerity, to
give assurance However, a feeling is
taking root in the staid circles of this
city, both i'll and out of official life, that
Chill will speedily descend from her i'm
pudent attitude and make amends.
The suggestion OF senator Sherman as
to the real reason why war move on
the part of Chill is almost impossible, is
regarded in official circles as the truth
behind the reported intentions of that
government. Senator Sherman said the
presidents message would destroy the
financial credit of Chill, unless she took
immediate steps toward a compliance
with our demands, and that it would not
be possible for her to raise sufficient
money to carry on much of a war. as
her securities could not be marketed at
any price now. 1t is believed that if
Chill could prepare for war she would
precipitate it.
Another thing has been learned in of
fetal circles here which pOintg uumis-
takably toward an enforced apology mp
on the part of that government. Chill
is threatened with another revolution.
A large proportion of her population, es-
pecially the followers of the late Presi-
dent Balmaceda, take our view of the
Baltimore affair and are likely to divide
the country into two elements and go to
war if Chill remains obstinate. Presi-
dent Montt fears that should he precipi-
tate war with us he would at once have
internecine difficulties quite as serious
and thus he would be hampered on all
sides and would surely be dethroned.

A HEROIC FIREMAN.
He Rescued Four Lives at Single Fire
 in New York.

 He Rescued Four Lives at Single Fire
 in New York.
 A hero in humble life was recognized in New York lately by the gift of gold medal. He richly deserved it, fact which appears in this record of his deeds, published in the Christian at Work:
 A sergeant of fire patrol in this city, John R. Vaughan, was present at the fire in the Hotel Royal month ago. At a window in one of the upper stories was gathered a group with anxious faces-a father, mother and child waiting, perhaps, to die together.
 At the next window, in an adjoining building appeared a sergeant of our pa trol. The distance was too great to reach. Without hesitation he threw himself down, resting one arm upon the sill and entwining his leg around telephone wire, fortunately convenient | ly near; with his other arm, one by one, he conducted this group of three over his prostrate body, as bridge, to win 1 dow of safety.
 His work was not yet done. Ascend ! ing the roof he discovered a man stand ing upon the sill of window in another portion of the house, doubting whether to meet death by jumping or wait to be overtaken by the fire.
 Shouting to him to wait and he would save him, Mr. Vaughan rushed to the street, and calling upon his comrades to follow, ascended to the roof of another adjoining building; hastily throwing off his coat, his companions holding him by i hislegs he threw himself head downward over the cornice, and with their assist ance, raised this man of over two hun dred pounds in weight to the roof. The rescue. was completed; these lives were saved.
 MT. Vaughan was presented with a goldmedal commemorating his heroism. And he richly deserved it. He was true hero, and none the less so that he performed his deeds in the line of his dUtV
