A MYSTERY
Surrounds the Death of Henry
Lake of Chicester, N. H.
Burned to Death in His Home and
Remains Found in Ruins.
Suspicious Circumstances Point 10 Incsndiar-
ism or Even Worse Crime.
A MYSTERY

Concord, N. H., May 9.--The farm
buildings Of Henry Lake I'm Chicester,
near the EPSON line, consisting OF a
house, barn and ell, were burned, last
night, with all its contents.
During the progress Of the fire, Lake,
who lived alone in the house, was seen to
fall into tho flames from the room in
which he slept, In the second story, and,
this morning, his remains were found in
the ruins.
The cause Of the fro is not absolutely
known, but 1t is suggested by the finding
Of kerosene lamp in the walk leading
from the house to tho barn.
II the fire, which broke out either in
the barn or walkway, was caused by the
overturned lamp, grounds for suspicion
Of inccndiarism or "A worse crime are
afforded, as Lake would not have probably
retired to his room to sleep, had he been
responsible for tho accident.

KEEPER OF THE CLOCKS.
rhi. Is Mr.. Foys Calling - an omciaA o.
the New York Elevated Roads.

This Is Mr. FOys CAns
the New York Elevated Roads.
p-obarly the most independent position
=, the manhattan Elevated Railway COM
Many from president to trackWaikcr' Is
ha,.i nv Charles J. Foy. He is the official
o,nch .:aker and time regulator for the
c,,r,,,oration. and his calling is unique anu
ont If the ordinary, to say the least. 1t
taLeS him six full days of hard work to
comn,ete the task he has mapped out as
his weeks work, and then on Monday
morning he has to start in and do the
same thing over again. His duties require
that he keep every clock used by the COM
many in good running order. This means
that he must also wind and set them SO
that they will be kept as nearly correct as
possible.
All Of the timepieces in his charge arc
eight day clocks, so that the winding does
not have to be done more than once a
week. If it did, he would be compelled to
engage an assistant, for the present task
takes I'D every minute of his time, and II
he misses day he has hard work to make
it I'D, for unless an accident happens the
clocks go right on ticking.
On Monday morning he starts on the
stations of the Second avenue line. AS
soon as the train stops he runs to the TICK
ct Office, and, producing key, which Is
shaped like crank, he winds the clock In
a iiffy. Then he compares its time with
the time of the watch he carries and
makes the proper correction in the hands
of the clock, if such action is necessary.
1t is seldom that he fails to catch the fol-
lowing train, and he boards it only to get
off at the next station and repeat his task.
On Tuesday the entire day is consumed
in this manner on the Third avenue line;
on Wednesday he goes along the Sixth av-
enue branch, and Thursday finds him on
the Ninth avenue trains Friday he de-
votes his time to the switch trains and Of
fees at all parts of the roads, and on Sat
urtlay he remains up in his clockshop in
Harlem and manages to clean and repair
four or five clocks.
In all Timekeeper Foy has 275 clocks to
keep tabs on, and every clock is cleaned
once year. In order to arrange this work
without robbing the stations he cleans
lust five clocks week, giving each its
regular turn, so that when year has
rolled away all the clocks have been at
tended to and the ones which were first to
be cleaned are ready for another brushing
up. Mr.. Foy likes his position and says
there is too much hustling in it for him
to feel that it is monotonous.-New York

BIRD COLONIES.
Great Clins Within the Arctic Circle
where Millions Nest.

Great Clins Within the Arctic Circle
where Millions Nest.
Within tho arctic circle are the great bird
colonies. The largest and most reInarkapie
is that of Svaerholt Klubben.
Every inch of this wonderful cliff, which
rises aboI. :. fD0 feet from the water
edge and is OF considerably greater breadth,
may be said to be used by the birds. The
discharge Of a small cannon in the imme-
diate neighborhood win darkcn the air
with millions Of birds, but even then
fieldglass will reveal the innumerable
lodges white with other undisturbed mil
lions. These consist almost entirely of the
small gull (RisEa tridactyla), and they are
a source of considerable income to the
owner of the colony, who lives at the little
fishing station close by. About the middle
of May every year, by means of long lad
der placed against the foot of the cliff, he
proceeds to collect the eggs. OF these there
arc at most three to each nest, and the
number taken averages from 5000 to 10,
900 annually, or the produce of, say, 5000
pairs of birds. Ropes are not used for
this purpose at Svaerholt, as they are in
the Faroc isles, so that the highest of the
above figures represents only a very small
percentage of the yearly production of the
colony. as far the greater portion of the
cliff face where the nests are packed as
closely as they can be, remains absolutely
untouched.
The food Of these multitudes Of birds
during the summer months consists for
the most part of fish spawn (more particu-
lary that of Goldfish, which is abundant in
these northern waters) and Of the small
crustacoa which are driven to and fro by
the currents along the coast in immense
masses. To the latter belong the tiny or
ganisins Calanus finmarchicus and Up
hausia inerinis, the favoCste food respec-
lively Of the whales, BalaeA,ptera borcalis
and i. sidbaldii when thSse giants APP
proach the mouths of the great fords in
July and August. In winter the famous
cliff is completely deserted. BY the end Of
August the young gulls are able to take
care of themselves and ell take their depar-
turc, to return no moro until the follow
ing year i'll the month of March.-Ex-

HAVE THE DAYS OF MIRACLES PASSED?
A Wonderful Story vouched for by Leading
Citizens

Mr.. Trundy is a skillful and highly re-
spected blacksmith at Stockton Springs,
Me. Members of his craft have been fam
Gus for their bodily strength and dex-
terity. But strength is not always trans
mitted. In Mr.. Trundy's case, though
he and his wife have always enjoyed the
ordinary amount of good health, still their
little boy was not what his fond parents
expected. He has been sickly from birth
At the age of two and one half years he
developed spinal trouble and ultimately
lost the use of both his legs.
The cause of the disease was that ter
rible disease, scrofula, which turks in the
blood Of nine-tenths of our people. For
four months the little boy could not stand
on his feet. All medical means tried by
them had failed. So concerned were his
parents that they intended to take him to
the hospital in few months or when the
weather became warmer. Even during
this interval they were constantly looking
around for some means to improve bis
condition. They were advised to try Ro-
dolf,s New Medical Discovery. They did
SO and after taking five bottles the little
boy was able to walk nearly as well as be-
fore his sickness. Their faith in the most
remarkable and successful medicine de-
vised by tho art aud experience of a man
had not disappointed them. BY writing

IT IS BROKEN. A Decision Against the
 Whisky Trust Which will Dissolve the Big Combination. Under the Same Ruling of the Illinois Supreme Court
The Pullman Palace Car Company Will Probably Fall to
 Pieces.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
 SPRINGFIELD, June 13.-In the su- preme court of Illinois has been filed an opinion in the case of the people vs. Distlllery and Cattle Feeding Co.,, to the effect of breaking the whisky trust.
 Attorney-Gener Moloney in dis cussing the decision of the supreme court in the whisky trust case said {: ''It is plain from the language used by the supreme court in this case that the Pullman Palace Car company will meet with the same fate at the hands Of the supreme court that the whisky trust has met with. The supreme court has expressly decided that corporations or ganized under the laws of this state have only such express powers as are granted to them and their powers must be strictly construed and all that Is not given to them in express language is denied"
 The words of the supreme court are ''It should be remembered that grants of powers in corporated charters are to be construed strictly and that what is not clearly given is by implication de- nied. The defendant is authorized tc own such property as is necessary to carry on it's distillery, and no more It's powers to acquire and hold property is limited to that purpose.

AID FOR THE REBELS.
A Party of F'ilibuStererS Leaves

Arrival of the Steamer George w. Childs at Jamaica With Troops,
 Arms and Supplies.
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press,
 WASHINGTON, Juhe 13.-The steamer George W. Chiids, carrying 8 filibuster- Ing expedition from Key West, has ar- rived at Jamaica. It was due in large measure to the sailing of this expedi ton last week that the administration determined on energetic steps to pre- vent violation of the neutrality laws.
 This information states only that the steamer has landed, but does not state whether the filibusterers are still on board or landed at some point in Gu ba.
 The fact that the information from Jamaica gives only the arrival of the Childs without mention of the filibus. terers, leads to the impression in some quarters that the suspicious directed against her may prove unfounded, as there is only irregular information thus far to show that the steamer carried the party.
 If the steamer, as alleged, has carried from the United States supplies and munitions of war and armed men to aid the rebels in Cuba, the incident may raise grave question as to the respon. sibility of this government.

COL. BREATHITT'S ARRIVAL
Concerning His Brand t,
 Arizona.
No Instructions to Investigate AL legged Irregularities of the Hud-
 son Canal Company.

Col. John B. Breath1tt of the interior department. land office division, arrived in the city yesterday. He came to the territory several days ago to investigate several matters in connection with pub. lie lands. He will remain indefinitely and make his headquarters at Tucson.
 Some weeks ago an eastern paper an- nounced his early departure for Arizona and stated that he had been instructed to investigate alleged Irregularities by the Hudson Reservoir and Canal com. pany. He said yesterday that he had received no such instructions and that lie was officially ignorant of the exiet- ence of the canal company. His errand is rather of routine character and does not involve any particular subject of in- vestigation.
 Col. Breatbitt resides at Kansas City, Mo. He is 8 grandson of the historic Gov. Breathitt of Kentucky, and has been for years a prominent figure in Missouri politics.
 Speaking of the silver question, which is now uppermost in the great middle section of the country, he said it's agita- tion was increasing daily, and that no safe prediction could be offered of the political result. The question in that section is of as great political interest as it is of material interest here. There the fate of parties depends upon the solution. Here it is the fate of pros perity.
 Col. Breathitt wae gratified to meet many old friends in Phoenix, among whom were Col. Franklin, Capt. W. L. George, R. H. Drane and c. B. Ming.

TUCK HINGES RETURN.
Traded $500 for a Lot of Valuable
 Experience.

Experience.
 Tuck Hing, the restauranteur, re- turned yesterday morning from an un. satisfactory expedition vulgarly des- cribed as wild goose chase. He was inveigled away by the bright eyes of a Spanish lady who had captivated his mind and said she wanted his hand.
 They were going to the coast to get married. From Los Angeles they went to Fl Paso. The marriage party con- sisted of the prospective bride and groom and the brides alleged sister and brother-in.law.
 Before reaching Fl Paso a costly diamond ring and $500 had passed into the hands of Tuck Hing's coming wife and brother-in-law. About this time he began to be suspicious of their good faith. A suspicion with Tuck Hing means immediately subsequent investi- gation.
 It accordingly took place and Tuck says it ended by his recovery of his diamond ring but the $500 was gone forever. He has the satisfaction though of knowing that his fair and cruel deceiver and her brother-in-law will deceive nobody else for six months the period for which they were sen- tenced.
 Tuck Hing says he has got out of it enough valuable expirience to last him lifetime.

 SAN FRANCISCO, June l3.-At the in- Vestigation today into the foundering of the steamer Colima near Manzanilio, Mexico, on May 27th, Gustave Rowan. one of the survivors, testified that just before the wreck he realized the danger and tried to distribute the life preserv- CTS, but the steward forced him to de- sist, saying it would be too much trouble to replace the preseryers aftar the storm was over.
 Rowan stated that dur11g the fury of the storm not one of the officers warned the passengers of their danger, which few appreciated. No attempt was made to lower the boats, according to Rowan. In his opinion the Colima was over loaded, top heavy and the deck load poorly placed. The witness complained bitterly ot hia treatment aboard the San Juan. He says he was refused proper food and medical treatment.

Special to THE REPUBLICAN.
 SANTA FE, N. M., June 13.-Reavis has finished the story of his Royal Grant," He passed another hard day and after two and half days spent on the rack was permitted to leave the stand.
 His declarations were as surprising az those made by him on the two pre- vious days. He swore positively that he had never seen the stuffed books in the San Bernardino church and that he had never seen the priest, Father OReilly, though the priest positively identified Reavis. The claimants cross.examination of the priest was conducted in most excltable manner but nothing was produced by it but 6 decided theatrical effect.
 Reavis is crestfallen tonight. He ap- parently realizes that the broad acres of the Baronv of Arizona are passing out of his reach, that the royal dream is vanishing, that the Spanish castle is dissolving view.

Two Men Under Arrest for a Pecu- liar ana Nearly Success

By the Associated Press.
 FRESNO, Cal, June 13.-Two men, one white the other Chinaman. are in iaii at Sanger because of suspicion that one or the other IS guilty of an assault made upon the 12-year-old daughter of G. A. Smith, farmer, with apparently criminal intention and then an attempt to drown the child when alarmed by her cries for help.
 On Wednesday evening the little girl went to the barn to look for eggs, when she was seized and blindfolded before she could see her assailant who bound her hands and feet with @ cord. She screamed loudly for help and the fellow picked her up, ran hundred yards and threw her into Fancher creek. She foated to spot of high ground in the middle of the stream where she stood for an hour and half before her cries were heard. She could not move, the water around her being deeper than where she stood. Finally she succeeded in getting her hands united and re- moving the blindfold from her eyes. | When rescued she was nearly dead 1 from fright and exhaustion.
 1 The fact was learned that the Chinese cook came in from the field earlier than usual and was unusually late getting dinner. He was arrested but refuses te speak. An unknown white man wal found in a hay stack 8 mile from tht place and put under arrest. If tht crime is fixed on one of the two he vii probably not reach the county jail alive

 Hostetler occupies the position of "swamper" at an East Washington street saloon. He patronized the sa- loon himself ana that night began look ing for woe. It YVES ly1ng in walt for him at Thalheimer's place. A colored attache of bank was eating his supper at lunch counter and this reminded Mir. Hostetler that he had it in for the colored race. He recommended their extermlnaticn and threatened to get up a lynching party to work off the colored population of Ph@nix indiscrimately.
 His remarks provoked no reply and he went out on the street, where the colored individual, having finished his supper. soon appeared. Hostetler re- newed his observations on the unworthi- ness of the colored brother, and at last made en assault upon this exponent Of the hated race. The exponent had club in his hand and smote Hostetler over the left eye with such a mighty smite that the club was broken.
 4 policeman gathered both in and Hostetler was fined $l0. The colored man was discharged.
 | But this was less than half of Hostet- ler's troubles. Before his affair with the colored man he had assaulted John Averiscn, 'Go .John." who had him ar- rested yesterday. He will be tired be- fore Justice Johnstone today.
