CURED OF DEMENTIA.
A Horrible Sight Restores Reason to
81 Pennsylvania.


HAzLEToN. Pa. July 5.-One year
ago Charles Boyer of Morrisons was
married. Nine months later he was a
widower. He became crazed with
grief eventually, and as result his af-
Fiction produced a dementia pro-
nounced incurable. He raved contin-
ually about his wife and entertained
the idea that she had been foully dealt
with. So strongly did he believe in
this that his friends decided to disinter
the body. They did SO and the body
was found face downwards and all the
evidence which goes to show that the
woman had been buried alive was
plainly apparent. The glass in the lid
of the coffin was broken to atoms. The
shroud enveloping the form was torn
to shreds. The limbs were twisted and
distorted, the hair matted and in her
hands she clinched bunch of it. Those
who were engaged in disinterring the
body fell back, entirely overcome. The
most composed man in the party was
the demented husband. He assumed
an air of complacency and assisted in
the work of rearranging the body. He
has shown no signs of mental aberra-
tion since, and from ali appearance his
mental powers have been restored.

cases that is the indictments for riot,
conspiracy, treason and murder
against the ex-strikers, will not be nolle
pressed as were the indictments against
the Carnegie officials and the Pinker-
tons. but the counsel for the prosecu-
tion and defense have agreed to allow
them to go over to the September term
of court for final disposition. It is
understood that pleas of nolo contendere
will be entered. A suspension of SEN
tence will be asked by the defense, and
it will not be opposed by the prosecu-
tion. 1t will likely be granted in the
conspiracy and treason cases. When
this has been done District Attorney
Clarence Burleigh will bring the mur-
der and treason indictments to the at

the commonwealth has investigated
the charges thoroughly and is satisfied
that no conviction can be had under
them. He will ask the court to make
an order directing the district attorney
to take no action in the matter Of
prosecuting them until further order of
the court. This will finally end the

ASKS "A RECEIVER.
A Minnesota Corporation Said to Be
Badly Managed.


CHICAGO, July 5.-Albert q. Postle-
waite, one of the stockholders in the
company, has petitioned the circuit
court to appoint a receiver for the Illi-
nois Fuel company, which was closed
by attachment June ~ last. The petit
toner claims to hold 374 shares of the
stock of the company of par value Of
$37, 400 and also that he loaned and ad-
vanced the company between 1887 and
1898 $4,000, all of which is now past
due, and no part of which has been re-
turned.
The company was organized Feb. IL,
1887, under the laws of Minnesota, for
the purpose of mining and vending fuel
with a capital stock of $53O,O00. The
bill alleges that Benjamin Ives, who
has officiated as general manager, has
mislnanaged the company's affairs, and
says that in addition to $4,000 for
which the Commercial National bank
of Chicago secured Judgment the COM
pany also owes the National German
American bank of st. Paul $33, 900 and
other numerous obligations, none of
which it can pay.

Canada Wants Immigrants.

OTTAWA, Ont, July 8.-With view
to encourage immigration into the Can
adam Northwest from the Western
states, the government has decided to
abolish the customs regulation which
now provides that incoming settlers
must own their stock and certain other
effects one year before leaving the
United States. Additional inspection
ports have also been placed along the
boundary with view to facilitating
the entry Of immigrants into the
country.

LOSSES EXAGGERATED.
Pine Woods Fires Mostly Confined to
Old Choppings.

A S1nOpPAuSS.
DULUTH, July Ga lumberman who
has been investigating the damage done
by the recent forest fires in Northern
Minnesota and Wisconsin says that the
reports heretofore given about the loss
have been much exaggerated. He says
that 1O,OOO,OO0 feet is liberal estimate
of all the timber destroyed by the June
fires in Northern Wisconsin. This loss
is distributed among dozen or more
owners, and is merely nominal. The
fires in Bayfield, and Douglas counties
were confined almost entirely to the
areas of old cuttings, and along the
line of the Northern Pacific incursions
were occasionally made by the flames
into the forests from these points and
the surrounding timber was more or
less damaged, but in almost every
instance the timber is accessible and
can be logged this season. The
actual loss in the Duluth district is
probably not SO great as that in Wis
consin. Here the fire was likewise
heaviest in the old choppings about the
villages and along the lines of the road.
After carefully tabulating the estimates
of loss made by reliable woodsmen, it is
found that the total will not exceed
100000 feet, and this is distributed
over ;hree counties and perhaps two
scores of owners

More Stringent Regulations Neces.
sary in Regard to Immigration.
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Several weeks
ago the immigration bureau issued or
ders prohibiting the passage of immi-
grants into the United States over the
Canadian railways except during the
daytime. This was expected to be all
that was necessary to prevent any VIC
lation of the immigration laws. But
recent developments have shown gross
abuses with tais restriction, and Super
intendent Stump is drawing up set of
rules which are calculated to prevent
their recurrence The scheme as out
lined is still very crude, but it includes
decided increase in the number of in
spectors and other measures to prevent
any but desirable Immigrants from
coming into the country.

IOur QeaQ men ana q Dozen IN the hospital.
That gun was wrecked, but its mate is on
exhibition here.
In the Government building you may
see rs fine Il gun as any one should want
to shoot. It is a 12-inch rifle, and weighs
80 tons. 1t is not quite as largo as the
Krupp gun, and has not that monsters

more practical gun. Uncle Sam had his
plans prepared ,for the manufacture of a
large number of these 12-inch guns, and a
ITO tons each. understand the latter
have been abandoned, and that the 12-inch
rifle is the largest ordnance our govern.
ment will make. This gun fires a projec.
tile weighing LOO pounds, and has an eff.
fective range of about eight miles.
As have already indicated, the rapid.
fire, high-power gun is thought by ex.
perts to be the most useful type Of modern
ordnance. We see here an English Arm.
strong weighing 61a tons, with 6-inch
bore, throwing q hundred pound proiectile
and firing by electricity. The best trials
of this gun show q speed of five aimed
shots in fifty-fve seconds, four of them
striking the target at a distance of a little
more than half mile. The powder used
is called cordite, and it is high-power ex-
plosive. This, therefore, may be regarded
as the very highest type of modern rapid
fire ordnance. Our own government is
rapidly improving the Hotchkiss gun, and
is besides perfecting other tpyes, so that in
q few years at most Uncle Sam will be
abreast of the English in this form of ord
nance, as he is already in the forging of
heavier pieces.
In rapidity of fire the French are ahead
of both the English and Americans. They
show gun here known as the Canet
rapid-fre gun, of So inches caliber and
11,0O0 pounds weight. 1t throws TO-
pound shell with "a pounds of slnokeless
powder, and at q recent trial seven shots
were fired in fifty-four seconds, while a
smaller gun of the same model fired five
shots in twenty-four seconds. The Rus
sian naval authorities have adopted this
gun for service on their cruisers and bat
tleships.
One of the most marvellous guns to be
found in the exposition is the Maxim
Nordenfeldt. Weighing two and half
tons, with caliljer of AZ inches, it will
throw a forty-fve pound projectile through
4-inch steel plates at distance of 100
yards. It can be fired at the rate of thirty
times minute, while smaller guns of the
same model have been fired sixty times in

Vlous, IT much damage is to be inflicted
upon the enemy. A single shot from
Krupp's monster might cripple an ap-
preaching .battleship, at distance of
eight or ten miles, but the chances are it
would fire three or four times without
once hitting the target At somewhat
shorter range number of rapid firing
steel rifles would prove greater protection
against q formidable fleet.
The British have carried gun-making to
higher degree Of perfection, probably,
than any other nation. Today they make
no larger gun than the 65-ton Armstrong,
and very few as heavy as that. While
there has not been enough fighting in the
last twenty years TO ar1ord u good basis .,
estimate as to the effectiveness of modern
ordnance, the very heavy guns are losing

coast defense. The Victoria, which went
down off Tripoli few days ago, was fright
