The waters of the river Tinto in Spain are as yellow as a topaz and pet rify the sand in Q short time. If q stone falls into the river and rests upon another they both become perfectly united and conglutinated in a year It withers all the plants on its banks, as well as the roots of trees, which it dyes of the same hue as it's waters. No fish live in the stream.
 "A onupIc means IS uSco to discover
 where coal thieves nre numerous along
 the line of some of the Pennsylvania and New Jersey railroads. The coal is merely splashed with whitewash after it has been loaded upon the cars As coal trains are slow ones and, and are often sidetracked for days together at
 obscure little places, where there are few or no employees to guard them, the enemies of the coal trust take advan- tage of these delays to replen sh their
 bins. A glance at a loai that has been sprinkicd with whitewaSh shows where coal has been removed, and places where such removals are frequent are either guarded or avoided uft.rwarI.

 is the ambition of every negro house wife to possess such bed. An old colored woman who came north, leav- ing her husband behind her in Vir- ginia, bemoaned the fact that she had
 not heard from home in many weeks,
 but astonished those who suggested
 that doubtless her husband was in good health by the announcement that
 she was not worrying about the old man, but lest he should have sold her
 feather bed. It would be easy enough
 to get a new husband, she affirmed,
 but it hardly fell to the lot of mortal | colored woman to own two feather beds in the course of q lifetime

Hot Words Pass Between Ross Perry and
 General Colby.
 WASHINGTON, April 25.-Before the ex- animation of witnesses in the weather bu- reau investigation was commenced Ross Perry, counsel for Professor Harrington, entered a protest agrinst Assistant Attor- ney General Colby conducting the case. He alleged that charges were pending against General Colby which should dis qualify him from appearing as prosecutor.
 Both lawyers lost their temper, and Gen. eral Colby finally told MT. Perry that he would not allow any more time to be taken up in talk, and if he persisted in interrupt- ing the investigation he would have him elected from the building
 MT. Perry said: 'If the Secretary of Agriculture or yourself want to eject me physically from this room, do so, and let the people know it. If the Secretary of Agriculture wants Mir. Harrington's place he can have it; he can turn him out When the Secretary of Agriculture takes pains to announce to the public that he is going to have an investigation, he should do so fairly" The testimony taken was unimportant.
 Secretary Morton has appointed Major Fl. H. c. Dunwoody as assistant chief of the weather bureau in place of $. s. Rock wood, whose resignation was recently called for, to take effect on May 1. Major Dunwoody is now on detail duty at the weather bureau.

SING SINGERS STILL OUT. No Facts About tho Escaped Murderers
 Yet Brought to Light.

Het Brought to Light
 SING SING, N. Y., April 25.-Warden Brown Is packing up his things prepara tory to his departure. The new head to New York's great prison, Warden Durston, will be here on Monday or Tuesday to as sume control.
 Warden Brown is much discouraged over the late escape of his prisoners and the thought that they are not likely to be found during his stay here has probably had much to do with his recent illness. The escaped murderers have now been at large about five days and no real clew to their whereabouts has been. obtained There is nothing better than speculation to go on as to the direction they took in their flight.
 The latest theory is that Pallister and Rohle, separated as soon as they got out of the prison. Pallister it is thought took boat and rowed across the river to Hav- erstraw and then went west, while Rohle took an easterly route.
 More rumors reached the prison during the morning as to alleged clues. One was to the effect that Andrew Silver, night watchman in the power house at Tarry- town, at about 8 o'clock on Friday morning saw two men answering the description of the two condemned convicts running along the Hudson river railroad tracks. As they passed near the power house Silver hailed them and asked them if they were railroad brakemen. They made no reply, but kept on their way, going south toward New York.
 The finding of the small boat at Haver- straw, which the fugitives are supposed to have taken, leads to the general opinion that they succeeded in crossing the river For this reason the hunt has been trans ferred from Westchester county to Rock land county, on the opposite side of the river. A large posse of keepers and guards are searching all the barns and unoccupied buildings throughout Rockland county. > Harris has received several letters, one being from his mother. He says Rohle and Pallister did ask him to go and also asked if he had any money to which Harris replied in the negative. Harris is expected to be examined by Commissioner Raines in the death chamber.

COLUMBUS. Nov. with o plurality Of
5000 and two-thirds of both branches of

most dscisive victory recorded In Ohio
since the civil war. II has been won on
national issues. II would not have been a
surprise two weeks ago, but after the nc.
tion Of congress there seemed to have
been such reaction that the ovcrwhelming
vcoe is a surprise. The democrats did not
allow the contest to 90 by default, but
made most vigorous fight with harmoni-
Gus working forces. Ex-Governor Camp.
bell canvassed the state for Lawrence T..
Neal all last week and the democratic
committee was hopeful after congress had
reached decisive action. The weather was
pleasant all over the state and there was
q full voto of moro than $4,000.
Tho decisive results OF former years
have been because OF small votes, those
OF one party or the other not turning out
but tho voters were out to-day all over the
state, and Mckinley has majority over
oil with democratic, prohibition and popu-
list tickets opposed to him. This is tho
first majority over oil that any state can

night the headquarters were being aban.
