 Out by Fire.

UTICA, N. Y., Feb. 20. At S:30 o'clock last evening fire was seen in the furniture store of Rowlands & Beal, in Hamilton, a village twenty nine miles south of this city, and the seat of Colgate university. The one engine in the village was frozen up, the water pressure of a new system of water works was miserably small, and the fire swept the business portion of the town. stiff breeze famed the flames, and before aid could be sent from Utica aud the sur rounding villages forty business places were totally destroyed. The burned district includes all buildings facing the park and fronting on Eaton, Broad and Lebanon streets.
 In this district was the Smith block, erected at a cost of S60, GOO; the Tripp, a three-story brick building; the Davis, & three- story brick; the Tripp opera house, the Shores brick building, the National Hamilton bank, tbe postoffice, the engine house, the Masonic hall, the Hamilton Sentinel building, the Rowlands building, the Mott brick building, the Dodge estate brick building, the Banning estate brick building, Bonney & Meldon's brick build- ing, Haskell's building, the Rice building and the Smith estate building.
 These are the principal structures, aud in them were many stores aud oiiic.s. disc and goods which were removed to the streets caught fire and burned, or were spoiled by riverlets from melting snow. It will be long before Hamilton recovers from this confagration. All of the business blocks were destroyed. conservative estimate places the loss at S2C0 GOO, with a nominal insurance.

IMPORTANT WITNESS
In Anniston's Celebrated and Sensa- tional Abortion and Murder Case Being Taken Back
 to That Place.

Chief Prather of the Anniston pnlice force was in Birmingham Tuesday night t
 on his return from California, whither he
 went several days ago to get Gussie Wilson, who is wanted in Anniston for murder. About six months ago the dead and slightly decayed body of Emma Tucker, a young country girl, was found in Gussie Wilson bagnio in Anniston. On exaD1i- nation the physicians discovered that her death was the result of an abortion. Dr. s. J. McCurry,. physician of that tunate girl. It was also learned that she had gone to the house about a week prior to her death, and that her home was at Riverside, some twenty-five miles west of Annstou.
 The investigation was proceeded with by the coroner, and the girls ruin finally traced to Joe Beard, her brother-in law. News of the girls death and suspicious of foul play having leaked out, Dr. Me- Curry left the city, and after several weeks the police finally located him in Monterey, Mexico. Extradition papers were secured 1, and after weeks of waiting The fugitive doctor at last agreed to return to Alabama with the officers.
 The grand jury in the meantime had in- dicted Dr. McCurry, Joe Beard and Gussie Wilson for murder.
 By the time the officer had retuin d with Dr. McCurry Gussie Wilson, who, it seems, had not been arrested, Skipped out. Without her evidence a conviction in the cssss against the other two would have been impossible. Officers were at once sent out to trace her. One came to Bir- mingbam and remained several days about Christmas.
 A few weeks ago Chief Prather was in- formed that she was in Santa Barbara, Cal, and securing a requisitiOn he went out there to arrest her.
 After getting the requisitiou signed by the governor of California the chief pro- ceeded to Santa Barbara, and after a nights search located her, but before he could get to the place where she was stop
 ping she found him and gave herself up. They staried immediately for Alabama, and arrived in Birmingham on Louisville
 and Nashville train No. at midnight last
 night.

ELECTRIC WEED KILLER.

The electric weed killer, which was
expe nmented upon some time ago with
varying results, is said to have been
brought down to practical shape The
device was intended originally for the
destruction of grass and weeds along
railroads. 1t is now proposed to extend
its application to land covered by nox-
ious weeds, such as the Canadian and
Russian thistle, cookie burrs, and the
like. 1t is expected to be especially val
liable IN the destruction of plants of the
thistle tribe, in which the root must be
DESTROYED in order to annihilate the weed.
1t is claimed that the use of the electric
weed killer will reduce the cost OF keep
ing railway lines clear of vegetation from
$40 to $50 per mile per year. The oper-
alton of the device is based on the vary
ing conductivity of vegetables; the more
moisture they contain the less resistance
they offer to the current The apparatus
consists of an alternating generator
mounted on car, producing electricity
at 1000 volts pressure, and stepped up"
to from 5000 to $4,000 volts, according to
the kind and quality of the vegetation to
be DESTROYED.
The current, alter being raised to the
required voltage, is conducted through
a serious of fine wire or "brushes" to
the tops of the weeds or grass; the other
side of the current being made through
the wheels of the car to the ground. The
current leaps from the suspended brush
to the weeds, and passes through them
to the ground, thus completing the cir
cult The current traverses the entire
length of the plant, from the topmost
leaf to the roots, rupturing its cellular
tissue and completely destroying it.
The root is generally affected more
than the rest of the plant, from the fact
that it contains more moisture. In many
cases the current, in passing, heats the
plant to snch an extent that it cannot be
held in the hand. 1t is said that the ap-
paratus can be quickly equipped, and al
no great expense FIX.

A SESSION OF BACTERIOLOGISTS-
OUR SOURCES OF DRINKING
WATER.

AT the Academy of Medicine in New
York an important session has been held,
attended by the most distinguished Of
our psychologists. The matter under
discussion was to indicate the standard
types of bacteria, methods of cultivation,
and to interpret effects.
The photography of the subject wants
sorting and sitting. Then standard forms
might be emphasized, and the study of
variations become more possible. 1t is
apparent that we have, as was natural,
looked more to the destruction of the
bacilli than their first production. 1t is
evident, however, that the fist stage is
the equally important one, for could we
check nascent growth, then the ideal Of
the sanitarium would come about-that
is, then there would be no germs of
disease.
As to the physical appearance of the
microbes under the microscope, very
much more has to be learned Accord
ing to Professor Adami, of Montreal, be
tween what are malignant and benefcient
germs there are the strongest family
likenesses. The microscopes lens has
its value, but the other test of media
must be employed. In one kind of me-
dia certain bacteria will live and flourish,
and in another die. Here probably may
be found the key which in time to come
will unlock the secret why it is that the
introduction of the attenuated cultured
bacilli becomes preventative Of life On
this most important subject, as to the
reasons for it, PSYCHOLOGISTS cannot as
yet give any satisfactory explanation.
And for want OF certainty the world hest
tates to accept what are positively the
cures or preventiyes Of disease.
Ignorance of the complexities of sub
ject might be excused, but wilful disre
gard of the commonest laws Of health is
criminal. Within the last month ty
phoid fever was rife at Evansville, Ind,
a city with over $4,000 inhabitants. The
