Matter Indestructible.

An essential property of matter, but
which does not commend itself to su.
per6cial observation, like those OF ex.
tension and resistance, is indestructi-
bility, says Good News. So far as ez-
pertinent and observation can discover,
matter can neither be created nor de-
stroyed. On the surface facts seem to
contradict this assertion, for any par
ticular portion of matter may be de.
composed and resolved into its con.
stituent parts, so that it seems to have
disappeared, because the form under
which we knew it is no longer pres.
ent.
In reality, however, no diminution
in the quantity of existing matter has
taken place. One proof of this is
easily afforded by combustion. If We
allow piece of wood or coal, or any
combustible solid bodyto "burn away"
there will, as we all know, be ashes re-
naming. If, while the combustion is
going on. we take means to preserve,
not only the ashes but also every part
of the body which would ordinarily be
dissipated as smoke and steam, and
then weigh all the different substances,
solid, liquid or gaseous, that we have
obtained, we shall find the combined
weights equal to the original weight OF
the body itself. :.

A " Hen Case. -

A chen case" has been exciting .
good deal of interest in Maiden,
Mass, for several days past, and the
principles involved are such as to rem
der the disposition of it of more than
ordinary y Importance. 1t appears that
Wakefield Burgess, who takes an hon
est pride in his fine fowls and boasts
of the number and size of the eggs
which they produce, to their own in
tense satisfaction as well as his,
charged his next.door neighbor with
having poisoned some of his choice
poultry by giving them salt. In his
defence the neighbor affirmed that he
had put salt in some weeds in his yard
in order to kill them, and that Bur-
gess's hens, having no right to cross
the boundary fence, nevertheless did
so, pecked at the salted plants and SO
came to their death. Judge Petten-
gill's decision must be accepted by
every one as mastery. In the first
place he laid down the broad general
principle that salt is not usually
classed as poison--take notice that
he did not rule that it was not and
could under no circumstances be
poison--and he followed this up with
the contention that the defendant had
right to use salt in order to destroy
weeds; then finally he held that it
was through no fault of the defendant
that Burgess's hens invaded his
grounds and devoured the picked
weeds. Only one conclusion was pos
sible from these premises-a non-suit
for Burgess. The hen question has
been settled for Maiden and its vicin-
ity by Judge Pettengill's erudite and
comprehensive decision, and he has
undoubtedly established number of
precedents that will be controlling
throughout Massachusetts and posi-
bly, in all parts of the country. New

SWEPT BY THE FLOOD.
An Awful Catastrophe Overwhelms
Uvalde, Texas.

A terrible catastrophe befell the thriving
town of Uvaldc, Texas, and there is mourn
ing IN many households. The treacher.
Gus Leona River, swoller to raging
torrent by recent rains. rushed with
out moments warning down upon thetown.
submergng and wreckins many houses AMI
drowning a number OF people. In the e1-
element OF the day It was not definitely
known how many had been drowned. Among
the bodies identified were Mrs. Joseph
Hatch, Miss Matte Edwards, child OF Mr..
Maley. two MexlcanS.
1t was about o'clock In the morning
when the food came just as the storm
broke over the city torrent OF water
rushed down the Leona River, Overlooking
the banks OF that stream and flooding the
lowlands on either side to depth OF several
feet. The east side OF the city Is built on
low land, and was directly In the path OF the
water.
An earthquake shock Of some seconds
duration was distinctly felt during the night.
At one place near the city about quarter OF
a mile OF heavy cracks appeared on each side
OF the Leona River, having apparently no
bottom.
The loss to the Southern Pacific Company
Is enormous, forty miles of track AMI many
bridges having been washed away. A rough
estimate OF the loss to property in general
and 10 the railroad company will, as far as
known, reach 81, 500, 900.

SIX MEN LYNCHED.
Suspected of Barn-Burning, They
Are Shot by a Mob.

News comes OF the lynehins OF siS co!ored
men two miles west OF Millngton, Tenn, a
village on the Chesapeake and Oaio Railroad.
For year or more the psople o; that part
ofthe county havs been kept In a constant
state OF excitement by acts OF incandiarISn:.
Barns and dwellings have been burned. ami
recently the buildings on the MillinSton Fair
Grounds were destroyed.
Suspicion pointed to Dan Hawkins, Koo-
ert Haynes, Warner Williams, Ed. Hall, Joan
Hayes and Graham White, all colored, and
they we're arrested near kernvtlle, III the
western part ofthe county, by Deputy saerih
Richardson.
Later in tho day Richardson started with
his prisoners in a wagon for Wilmington,
where they were to have a preliminary e9.
animation before a magistrate. The SIX
were chained together.
About midnight. when the party was near.
ing Millington. It was stopped by mob OF
fifty men armed with shotguns, who killed
all the prisoners, and then remounttng their
horses, rode away. The lynchers were not
masked. but the officer, being new to that
part OF the country. recognized none OF them.
The detective from whom the prisoners
were taken and four citizens have been ar
rested, charged with plotting the lynching.
