1t will probably be interesting news
to the clam fishermen of Worcester
waters to know that within the past two
or three weeks some very valuable
pearls have been found in CLANS by
workers on the clam beds of New York
State. One man found pearl for
which he has refused $1,000, and
another has sold four OF these precious

The United States Court of Chev-
enne has Just rendered a decision of
great interest to insurers, as it invali-
dates the clause found in most policies.
that no agent has authority to alter
the clauses printed on policy 1t
appears that a Mr. Henderson went to
an agent there and applied for an in
surance on his life, stating that he
was afraid of being shot by an enemy.
who, he had reason to believe, was
looking for him. The agent told him
that he would give him policy COW
ering his case, and Henderson paid
him the premium. Shortly atterward
he was killed by his enemy, as antici-
pated, and the company refused to pay
the insurance To the widow, as the
policy contained Il clause expressly
exempting the company in case death
resulted from the doings Of some party
with declared hostile intent. The
court saws that the clause does not
count. and the money must be paid.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF MRS.
BROWN IN SAN ANTONIO.
A Polish Girl Who Had Been Discharged
by Mrs. Brown Under Arrest
Charged With Administering
the Strychnine.
Special TO The Statesman.

Special 10 The Statesman.
SAN ANTONIO, March 21.-Later de-
velopments in the supposed suicide
and murder on last Friday of Mrs,
Rosa Brown and her son George are
of most sensational character. For
some time past Mrs. Brown has em-
ployed domestic named Francis
Molnoskey, a Polish girl about 20
years of age, but had discharged her
on the day previous to the enactment
OF the tragedy. The girl, however,
was still at the Brown residence on
Friday morning awaiting conveyance
to her parents home in the country.
At the inquest OH Monday Ed Driess,
druggist, identified Francis as the
WON an who had called at his store on
Friday last to purchase strychnine.
Following up this information, detec-
tives secured enough additional evil
dence to warrant the apprehension of
the girl, and che was confined in the
county Jail this morning, warrant t
charging her with the double murder
having been sworn out.

Water Two Feet Over the Railway Track
at Hot.Springs.
Hot SPRINGS, March 2l.-Not
wheel Las yet moved on the Hot
Springs railroad. The flood has re.
ceeded somewhat, as the water was
only two feet over the tracks of the
Hot Springs railroad at Stony Creek
this evening. This is a fall of five
feet since yesterday and if the Qua
chita river continues to fall trains will
resume operations on the road tomor-
row. Today makes three days that
have passed since this city has
haf any communication with
the outside world, and
the hundreds OF visitors
here are restless and longing to hear
from home This has been the most
terrific and prolonged storm Hot
Springs has experienced. There is no
way as yet to get an estimate of the
damage done along the Ouachita
river. A farmer who came to this city
tonight says the destruction of farm
property along the river will be very
great and thousands of dollars worth
of live stock have been killed.
Plantations never before covered by
water have been swept clean of every
thing even the houses on the planta.
tions being swept away by the floods
There is not ferry boat left on the
river; every one was carried away by
the raging waters and new boats will
have to be built before
any one can crosss the river
Dark clouds still obscure the sky and
it looks as though the rain might
begin to pour at any minute. If
another waterspout should follow in
the next 12 hours with the river at its
present height there is no telling how
great the damage will be.
Traffic has been suspended on the
Gurdon branch of the Iron Mountain
between Camden and Eldorado, the
track between these points being
three feet under water. Seven hun
dred feet of the Cotton Belt track was
washed away chs morning near Sa-
line. The Soline river is reported to
be rising an inch an hour. The wash
out on the Iron Mountain main line
south of Little Rock has been repaired
and trains are passing on schedule
time.
