kenOsha, Wis, March pa terrible

When the fire department came up
and the flames had been subdued. a
search was made and three bodies were
found under the mass Of ruins. The

and boy who lived with the family.
They could scarcely be recognized, as
they were burned almost to cinders,
and some Of their limbs were torn away.
ArentZen was a maker of fireworks
and a short timeafter he came here
from Chicago he began to make fancy
fireworks in his own house. A large
quantity Of gun powder was stored in
the place and this, 10 doubt, caused the

he was reminded of this by the owner

RevolutiOnists in Brazil Suffer Defeat

After Victory.
VALPARAISO, March 2O-The success
which Gen. TavareZ won for the revo-
lutionary cause in Rio Grande do Sui,
Brazil, last Friday, was a short lived
one. He has experienced success and
defeat within two days. While flushed
with the victory of Friday, Gen. Tava-
rez, who then controlled the telegraph
wires, sent out the graphic stories OF
his success.
A different story is told to-day. The
wires are now again in control of the
government, and story has been sent
which tells of federal defeat, follow.
ing federal victory, and of government
success on the heels of a government
disaster.
Tavarez's victory on Friday was
wrested from the National Guard of
Rio Grande du Sui organized by Gov.
Castillo, without much fighting.
None of the troops forwarded by
the general government in Rio Grands
took part in the engagement These
arrived few hours after the defeat
of Gen. Tellos and Tavarez found them
soldiers of different sort from those
against which his army had before
been pitted. They were only 800
strong, but they proved more effective
force than the 1900 Castilhitas whom
Gen. Tellos believed he was leading to
battle. The government troops ap-
peared before Santa Anna yesterday
morning. Without hesitation they at
tackled the town and routed the revo-
lUtioniStS, who are reported to have
fed before them like sheep.

Treaty Is Not Signed.

VALPARAISO. March 20. - Chile's
trouble with Argentina in regard to
the boundary question appears now
to be far from settled. An agreement
was reached on last Tuesday by which
the representatives of the two govern
ments fixed the boundary lines A
clause was inserted in the proposed
treaty by which Chile agreed not to
claim a port on the Atlantic ocean
and Argentina abandoned her claim
to port on the Pacific ocean. 1t
was believed that this would be the
final settlement of the question until
yesterday, when DIR. Villarosa the
Argentine boundary commissioner, re-
ceived dispatch from the government
In Buenos Ayres. directing him not to
sign the treaty and directing HIM to
return at once to the capital at Argen-
tine.
This action has caused surprise in
Santiago. 1t is believed however,
that the recall of Villarosa indicates
merely that the government of Argen-
tine is afraid to ratify the treaty with
out the consent of Congress-

HARRIS TO BE RESENTENCED
Alleged New York Murderer Arraigned
Before Recorder Smyth.

New YORK, March 2O.-Rarely, If
ever, has there been so much excite
ment around the dark. grim. building Of
the Court of General Sessions as there
was this morning. Carlyle w. Harris,
after having exhausted every possible
means to escape the penalty for
the murder of his wife, was to
be finally resentenced by Re-
corder Smyth. No one was allowed to
enter except newspaper men who were
authenticated and persons bearing
tickets of admission signed by the Dis
trict Attorney. The courtroom was
crowded by 10 o'clock. A dense throng
of men, boys and women, too, sur
rounded the building.
Harris was brought into court hand
cuffed to an officer. His skin was sal
low, his eyes large and sunk
en- and under them deep blue
rings. And no wonder. The fe-
rocious strain of anxiety the
young man has been undergoing
would reduce the vital fore es of the
strongest. When Harris was asked by
the court # he had anything to say
why sentence should not be passed
upon him he leaned both hands on the
rail, bent Toward and began to speak
in tones SO low that the deputy who
stood close beside him on each side
could not hear what he said and leaned
their heads to catch the words. There
was buzz of whispering among the
spectators, which was stopped by the
court.
Once inside of the prison he said
well, it's all over now, but am ready
to die, although I declare solemnly
am an innocent man. / feel like 3
man who has done good days worl,
and is tired. I am surprised at the way
[ hold out"
Lawyer Howe said that in accordance
with the special request of Harris nc
mass meeting would be held in his be
half. His lawyers are confident an ap
peal TO the governor will be successful
in averting the execution of the death
sentence.

Message From the Dead.

Mrs White, the wife of the veteran
Professor H. II. White, of Lexington,
Ga, was not little startled few
weeks since by receiving a postal card
addressed in the handwriting of a dear
friend who had been dead over eleven
years, Turning the card over she
recognized the well-remembered sigma
ture of her departed friend, and the
lines it contained were in the same
writing. 1t was like receiving a mes
sage from the dead. An examina ton
revealed the Boston postmark dated
July ID, 1877. The Lexington post
office receiving stamp was dated Jam
uary 5, 1898. The whereabouts of this
postal card for thirteen and one-half
years is one of those mysteries that
will probably never be solved.

SPEED OF FALLING BODIES.
1t Increases Rapidly Owing to the At
traction of Gravitation.

liz increases Rapidly Owing to the At
traction of Gravitation.
The greater distance bodies have to
fall, the greater will be their speed.
The force of gravitation is constant
and acts alike on moving bodies and
those at rest. Therefore, a body that
has acquired speed in falling of say
100 feet a second will have its velocity
increased in the next second by the
amount of the earth's pulling force
If a body is let fall from a high tower
it will fall in the first second sixteen
feet and a fraction more. Starting
from nothing the movement is grad
ually accelerated, so that in the last
half of the second it moves through a
much greater space than in the first
half. By the end of the second, when
it has fallen sixteen feet, it has
acquired velocity of thirty
two feet per second. If gravity then
ceased to act the body would fall thirty
two feet in the second second, but as the
pulling force still remains constant
this distance is increased by the same
space through which it fell in the first
second. 1t thus falls in the second
second through forty-eight feet and has
acquired velocity of sixty-four feet a
second. Thus in two seconds it will
have fallen sixtyfour feet. In three
seconds it will have fallen 144 feet and
will have attained a velocity of ninety
six feet a second. Summarizing these
processes: To find the distance fallen
multiply sixteen feet by the square of
the number of seconds; to find the speed
at the end of given number of seconds
multiply thirtytwo feet by the num-
Der of seconds.

Beyond this formal protest nothing

chiefs in the State of Guerrero. He

depredatiOns in the district of Al
lende for several years, the authorities
being powerless. A few days ago a
strong force of troops made raid upon
the rendezvous of the brigands. In the

were killed and three brigands
wounded. A detachment of soldiers

steamer Naronic is lost.
The British steamer Coventry, Capt
Wilson, from Fernandina, Feb. 10, ar
rived at this port to-day. She reports
that O'clock in the morning of March
4, when in latitude ~ N, longitude
46 W., she passed Gfeboat painted
white, bearing the name "Naronic."
The boat was boating keel upward. At
3 o'clock in the afternoon of the
same day another Gfeboat from
the NarOnic was passed. This boat
gave evidence of having encountered
heavy sea. The mast and oars of the
lifeboat had been dashed together and
attached to the painter and then
thrown overheard as a sea anchor to
keep the boats head up to the wind
and sea. Judging from appearances
neither of the boats had been long
adrift. The position of the drifting
boats was about south by west of Sable
island on the banks of Newfoundland.
There is chance that the occupants Of
the boats were picked up by passing
vessel.
LIVERPOOL, March 2O-Officials of
the White Star Line Company here
have received the full report of the
steamer Coventry, which arrived al
Bremen to-day. They state their ad-
vices show that the last life boat of tho
Naronic passed by the Coventry was
recently occupied by portion of the
Naronic's crew and they expressed the
hope that the occupants had been
picked up by passing vessel. They
also expressed the hope that the ocou-
pants of the other boats had been res
oued. All doubt as to the fate of the
Naronic has been dispelled by tho
sighting of her life boats.
That she is at the bottom of the ocean
cannot be disputed, but the cause of
the disaster is, of course, still a matter
of conjecture. 1t may be, judging from
the latitude and longitude in which the
boats were seen. that the steamer
struck an iceberg, though it Is
still rather early in the season for ice
to be adrift so far south as the banks.
A vessel which passed Deal to-day sig
nailed that she had on board eleven
ship-wreclked people and the White
Star officials say there is a strong prob
ability that they are part of the crew
