mails, thus making the gutter, or drain
age rather. really 20 inches wide This
kind of gutter has many advantages
over the open drain. The cows are
kept as clean as possible, we think;
and there is no danger of a cow, heavy
with cali, being injured by stepping
backward into the ditch. The ditch
receives all the water and great deal
Of the manure, which Is tramped
through; and IL can be cleaned out
every other day.
The horse stable is II feet wide and
So feet long and feet high, d.
vided into five 5-foot stalls and one
box stall The floor is graded so as to
slope back behind the middle of the
stall into shallow gutter. They are
all fed from the barn floor.
The barn floor is IS feet wide, SO feet
long, and IA feet high to loft 1t is
laid double; the floors overhead are
single. There Ia a platform feet high
running across the rear. end Of the
floor. Under this platform at one end
is the cistern; at the other end are the
stairs to the loft. Under the middle of
the platform is door 10 feet wide to
drive out at, and on top Of the platform
is another door 10 feet wide for putting
the straw out of the barn. The
machine drops the straw on this plat
form and it can either be put out or
into the NOW. The stock can all be
fed and watered from the barn floors.
The stables can all be cleaned with
ont wheelbarrow or sled, once hand
ling the manure with the fork. You
can hitch and unhitch your horses on
the barn floor aud take them directly
into the stable. The doors into the
stable, one on each corner Of the barn,
are all hung SO as to open inside, thus
preventing wind from breaking them.
The stock can be turned out to the
straw stack behind the barn on nice
days and watered from trough which
IL filled from the cistern inside. No
floors to rot; no rats to bother; every
thing handy

Interesting Legal Point.

ST. LoUIs. April 15.-An in- teresting legal point has been raised by the Providence Savings and As surance Society in the case of Ed win Brown, who was murdered March 2 by robbers. Agent Wither- spoon, three weeks before the mur- der, received applications for two policies, $50, 1000 each, in favor of Mrs. Brown. Applications were sent East and in due time the poli- cies arrived. Agent Witherspoon neglected to take sthe policies to Brown for two weeks and one morning learned from the news papers that Brown had bsen mur- dered. Witherspoon then took the policies, delivered them to mem Der of the firm and collected a pre- mium cf $105. Protest has been entered by the company under the law unless a premium was paid be- fore death the policy holders of the company cannot be held responsi- ble.

Bloody Tragedy in the Broom shop Of
 the Aubarn State Prison.

AUBURN, N. Y, April 17.--John Johnson, who was known as 1.-the blue nigger from Clyde, !" ran amuck in the broom shop in the Auburn prison this morning. Armed with sharp knife used in cutting broom corn, he first at- tackled Charles Peck, fel- low convict from West Chester county. Leaving him dead in his tracks, he next fatally stabbed Daniel Britten, convict, and wounded two others be- fore he was shot by the keeper and rendered powerless. The blade en- tered Britten $ stomach, and he now lies in precarious condition in the hospital. It is thought he will die.
 Johnson stabbed right and left while he was at liberty, and several other convicts suffered severe cuts. The blade of Johnson's knife was broken off during the melee and cannot now be found. He directed vicious blow at Keeper Mitchell after the blade had been broken, but it did not penetrate his clothing. The keeper drew a revolver, but just as he was about to pull the trigger somebody hit his arm and the ball went wide of it's mark. It frightened Johnson into

Protest Against R russian Treaty

CHICAGO, April 15.-Through the exertions of Miss Jane Adams, of the Hull House, and c. s. Darrow public meeting has been arranged at the Central Music Hall week from tomorrow, to protest against the treaty with Russia, lately ratified by the United States senate. Judge Pulley will preside, and addresses are expected from Miss Adams, Mr. Darrow, Professor David Ewing, Rev. Dr. Clifford, Judges Tuthill, Rev. Dr. Hirsch and perhaps Judge Trumbull.
 It is said there are 500, ,000 Russians in America and 50,000 in Chicago, and that nearly every one of them will be extraditable under the treaty, either for political offences or for forgery, as the people of Russia can only escape from tbat country by forging passports. They are therefore alarmed at the prospect.

Allowing inc Feather.

A new game for children is played with a feather. The party is ar ranged in several groups of seven or eight each, seated in a ring and as close together as possible. For each group is feather. This is tossed in the air in the center of the ring. It is the business of the players to keep the feather in the air by blowing every time it comes near. The effort is so ridicu- lous that the children laugh. When they laugh they cannot blow and the feather is apt to settle in the lap of the merriest child. In this case she has to retire from the ring. It is, of course, her interest to make the other children laugh. As the rings decrease they are consolidated, and so tho game continues until only one person is left, who, of course, is the winner.-Philadelphia Times.

QUIvERING ISLAND.
Zante of the lonan Group Visited by De-
 structiye Earthquake.
MANY PEOPLE KILLED.
Hundreds Injured by Falling waiis--ihe Entire Island Devastated--Third Violent Shock Within
 Three Me:stssz.

ATHENS, April F. Tine Island of Zante, one of the principal Ionan Islands, was visited by most destructive earthquake this morning, resulting in great loss of life and property.
 The shock appears to have been most violent in the city of Zanta, a greater part of which was destroyed. People were panic stricken and the authorities helpless. The streets were impossible, being filled with masses of stones and timber, wreck age of houses, which was thrown down by the earthquake.
 Thus far the bodies of twenty persons, killed by falling walls, have been removed from the debris, and it is feared many more dead arc still in the ruins.
 The number of persons injured run up into the hundreds. Every thing is in confusion, and the work of searching for bodies and for in jnred cannot be pursued systemati- cally. A greater portion of the in habitants fled to the islands back of the city, where they wander about in an abstracted manner, bewailing the loss of their homes and property. A large number of tents that were taken to Zante to shelter people who were rendered homeless by former earthquakes, have again been set up, and under them some women and children have taken refuge.
 The city presents a scene of deso- laIion, and it is doubtful if it ever recovers from the series of misfor- tunes that have befallen 1t within the past three months. There is bound to be an enormous amount of suffering, and outside aid will be urgently required to prevent sickness and starvation.
 The shock occurred at half past seven am. Most of the dwellings that stood erect before the shock were either thrown down or shat tered so as to be unsafe for occu- pancy. The church, St. Donisius1 and government offices were thrown down.
 Advices from the interior show that the whole island has been de- vastated. Many villages have been destroyed, and it is thought that the loss of life has been very great.
 News of the disaster comes in very slowly as communication with the interior of the island has been greatly interrupted by the destruc- ton of many telegraph lines. The full extent of the calamity cannot be estimated at present. Warships will be dispatched from Pieraeus with clothing, provisions and medi- cine for the sufferers.
 It is pointed out here that the Zante disaster is a confirmation of the prediction made a few days ago by Professor Falb, who predicted former earthquakes, that disturbances even more serious than the recent ones would occur April 16 or IT. The prediction proved true, for this mornings shock is the worst that ever visited Zante, which s noted for earthquakes.

Railrnnders Disagree.

ST. LOUIS, April 15.-A bomb shell was exploded in the meet ing of the Southwestern Railway and Steamship rate committee yesterday afternoon. A new organization was about completed when one interested suddenly announced that it could not sign the agreement unless all Texas lines proper came into the organization. This these lines are unable to do under the existing Texas laws. It was finally agreed to adjourn the meeting until May l, when it is hoped a settlement of the matter can be made. In the mean time the rate on corn will be con tinued as heretofore.
