Miss Flagler's Case.

And now it appears that Miss Eliz-
abcth Flaglcr is not likely to be
prosecuted for shooting accidentally
the young colored boy, Green, in
Washington, recently. A special
from that city has the following to
say on the subject:
There is no likelihood that Miss
Elizabeth Flaglcr. daughter of Gen.
Flaglcr, of the army, will be indicted
for manslaughtcr by the grand jury.
The father and entire family of the
cOlOred boy who fell before her care
less aiming of n revolver, manifest a
disposition to accept the situation in
a spirit of kindness and charity.
There is no disposition in any quar-
ter to carry the case to a conclusion,
which might bring further grief and
deeper heart burnings. Richard
Green, the bereaved father. has de-
clined to employ counsel, and has
spurned the services of colored law
ycrs who would be glad to argue the
case in order to bring notOriety to
them selves. Mr.. Green Is an intelli-
gent colored man, and in the midst
of his affection and grief maintains
a calmness of demeanor and q wise
appreciation of the situation, which
is highly commendable. He is not a
seeker of revenge. and expresses the
belief that Miss Flagler has received
and will receive through her con-
science all of the punishment which
her rash act deserves. Under such
circumstances it is not at all likely
that the grand jury will find a true
bill against Miss Flagler.''

CONTINUOUS LIME KILN.

It does Not Cost Very Much to Build 0ns
ON the Farm.
Limestone Is carbonate Of lime, and
lime is the oxide OF the metal calcium,
which has such an intense avidity for
oxygen that It takes fire and burns
with intense heat and light when ex-
posed to air that is at all moist Thus
It Is a rare metal, and used only for
chemical purposes. The great abun-
dance Of limestone, which Is more or
less diffused everywhere In the soil,
and In places Is very abundant, being
found in vast beds Of marble and other
forms Of 1t, might lead to the supposi-
ton that plants might procure all they
need without any help. But It is quick
lime they need, and not the inert car
Donate Of II; and thus 1t Is that the
stone Is burned to drive out OF 1t the
carbonic acid, and make IT into lime,
which Is an acrid, caustic substance
that exerts a most energetic action on
all organic matter; and considerable
action on mineral compounds In the
soil, dissolving silica and thus setting
free such plant foods as potash, mag
nesia, soda and phosphoric acid from
insoluble compounds Limestone isin-
soluble in water, but lime Is soluble In
700 parts Of water. Thus 1t Is that
while the roots Of plants may possibly
decompose to some extent the common
carbonate, and get little lime in this

Is nailed to the tops. The tops Of the
legs are beveled from the side next the

little shorter than the sacks. 1t Is
not necessary that the hoop be SO small

way, it is found very useful, some
think indispensable, toapply the actual
lime to the soil.
1t Is not much Of a job to make lime.
The limestone may be put In n heap
with wood or coal, md wall built up
around the heap to confne the heat
The fuel being fired, the stone Is made
into lime in three or four days But
this is a costly way, and thus where
there Is demand for tho lime, kilns
are used, some temporary ones, but lit
tie improved on the heaps, or clamps,
as they are called, and some strong
structures called permanent kilns OF
which the cut Is an example. This Is
made of any kind Of hard stone, and
lined with fire brick. 1t isegg-shapcd,
because as the limestone is burned, and
he coal or wood used as fuel is con-
,amed the bulk decreases, and thus
what will fill the belly Of the kiln,
only fills the throat at the bottom.
This kiln may have three or four
threats CT openings for drawing out
the lime, but each Is made In the way
shown. The lime W hen 1t reaches the
bottom being fully burned, Is drawn
out into the hearth d, through the
opening into the kiln, B. In burning
the stone Is broken into convenient
size for handling, and way Is made to
the top Of the kiln, which Is most often
built in bank. A small sloping track
Is sometimes made to the top of the
kiln, and a platform around it, so that
the small cnrs Of lime md fnel may be
drawn up and dumped into the kiln.
The fire Is started in the bottom
by filling in dry wood; on this
is laid other wood, from the
throat, then more fuel, wood or coal
1.-THE cheap slack being used, is dumped
in at the top, then some lime, and then
alternately fuel and limestone until
the kiln Is full, when 1t is fired, and
goes on day after day as long as lime
is required. About the third day, the
lime is ready for ralsing out, which is
done with long iron bars with a right
angled hook at the end. 1t Is only
necessary to start It, when 1t fills the
hearth, where it Is left to cool. When
It is taken out, more lime comes down,
or If it lodges, the hook Is used to
loosen it. After the kiln Is first
charged, the stone sinks down steadily,
and as this Is always to be kept heaped
at the mouth, as soon as IT has sunk
down to level, fresh supply is
heaped up As the fumes from the
kiln consist Of carbonic acid, which Ia
deadly gas when breathed, IT isneces-
sary for the man In charge OF feeding
the kiln, to keep on the windward side,
so that the gas is blown away from
him.-Rural New Yorker.

coast town In Africa, some time pre-
vious to her birth, in ls4a. She FIRST
saw the light Of day in the barracks,
and when three years old her parents
took her with them to England. Some
time after their arrival there both died,
and she was left alone in the world.
Though the kindness Of a neighbor
she was adopted by family on the
eve Of their emigration TO this country.
They made their home In Providence,
RI.
When on her way TO school one day
she met the man who Is now her hus-
band. lie was tall, sturdy young
man then and only few years her
senior. They were married in the
spring OF 1851. Three days after their
wedding he came home and informed
her that he had enlisted with the army.
At first she took the news quito seri-
ously, but soon made up her mind that
she would not be separated from her
husband on this account.
The boat which was to carry the vol
unteers to their destination was about
to pull out Of her pier when 1t was dis
covered that Kady Brownell, as she
Is best known, had secreted herself on
board. One Of the crew informed Col,
Burnside OF this fact, and, despite her
pleadings, she was put ashore. Her
persistent requests to be enrolled III
the army were finally acceded to by
William Sprague, who was then gov
ernor Of Rhode Island, and she became
member Of the Second battalion Of
the First Rhode Island detached mill
tia, which was then being equipped.
Her uniform was not unlike that Of
the men, consisting Of a blue flannel
blouse and rather full, short skirt. She
always wore her belt and saber, and
on the march wore boots. At the expira-
tion Of her term she returned to Provl-
dence, where she received q regular
discharge, but later reenlisted In the
Fifth Rhode Island regiment. Her
company was among those placed
under the command Of Burnside, and
on March 10, 1862, the union forces dee
barked on the banks Of the Neuse
river, preparatory to the memorable
battle Of Newbern
1t was during this battle that Brown
ell was badly wounded. lie never re-
covered from the wounds received suth'
GENTLY to enter active service, and in
the spring Of 1868 they were both dis
charged and went back to their home in
Providence. In view Of ner interesting
war history she was proposed as .
member Of the Grand Army OF the Re-
public In 1857. She was unanimously
elected member Of the Elias Howe,
Jr., post No. 4, G. A. R., department Of
Connecticut, at bridgeport, and this Is
believed to be the only case on record
where woman has received full mem
bership In the order.-N. Y. World.

Timothy and clover, says the New
York Times, has been standard mix
ture for hay, and pasture after 1t, and
in some localities, as where the sum
mers are comparatively cool, 1t does
very well. But where the summer
heat Is greater, the timothy does not
mature as soon as the clover, and un-
less the clover Is cut too late the tim
othy is not ready for cutting Thus 1t
is better to use an earlier grass, as Or
chard grass, which Is in its best condi'
ton for cutting at the same time that
the clover is. Another advantage as
to this grass is that 1t is far more
permanent than timothy, and after the
clover has run out II will occupy the
land for many years, certainly thirty
or forty, with good management, as
for Instance, frequent top dressings
with manure, and some new seed, to
be covered In with harrow, the har-
rowing being done after the manure
has been spread, so that the seed Is
covered and the manure broken and
spread at the same time.

BRADFORD, Pa, June 4.-The woods
about Ormsby are on FIRE and q number
Of oil rigs have been destroyed. All
communication has been cut of. Fires
are also reported along the New York,
Lake Erie & Western railroad as far
as Allegheny, N. Y. On the Buffalo,
Rochester & Pittsburgh road at Dent,
the property Of the Emery Oil Co. is
threatened. Oil rigs all through that
section have been burned, as we'll as
millions OF feet Of standing timber.
The most fear Is felt at Routherforl
Run. where 1000 pounds OF nitro
glycerine Is stored.
Coon Run, small settlement 10
miles south Of here, in the heart OF
the oil fields, has been wiped of the
face Of the earth by the flames. Peo-
pie had to fee for their lives, and great
excitement prevailed. The fire came
so suddenly that many women and
children were panic-striclien and be-
came unable to move and had to be
carried to places Of safety in the clear
ings.
Passengers who arrived here last
night over the Pittsburgh & Western
road say the woods for 10 miles in the
oil field is roaring mass of flames.
Conductor Tanks says the people on
the oil leases are fleeing for safety,
but the iirc spread 50 quickly that he
cannot SEQ how all Of them could
have been saved So far as reported
only seven oil bumpers are missing
Reports from Kane, Pa, say that the
forests have been on fire since Satur-
day, and all efforts to check the flames
have proved unavailing. Yesterday
afternoon at o'clock the fire had
spread at West Kane, the heat being
SO intense that the fighters were driv-
en- back and the people began to de.
sert their houses for places OF safety.
Every spring Is dried up and the place
Is at the mercy Of the flames. The fire
Is now raging in the oil field and has
burned the oil well rigs owned by the
Griffith company. The Union Oil Co.
has lost six rigs and three tanks of oil.
James Campbell's saw mill and over a
million feet OF logs have been de.
stroyed.
A telephone message at 9;45 o'clock
via Olcan N Y, from Knapp's Creek,
says the leases of Messrs. Burns, Rus
sell n Curtis have been fre-swept and
fifty rigs arc destroyed. Several dwell
Ing houses have burned ana should
any wind arise during henight it will
likely carry the flames to Knapp's
Creek and destroy the town.
