Violent oommotion In Lake Superior.

Glen E. Balch, assistant engineer of the United States lake survey, returned few days ago from Batehewana island, isolated and uninhabited, on the north shore of Lake Superior, 50 miles west of Sault Ste Marie. He reports finding on that island such an upheaval as might have been caused by an earthquake.
 He says that the disturbance was on the south side of the island and affected a strip from 200 to 300 feet wide and about 1,2o0 feet long. It also extended several hundred feet into the lake, the rocky bottom of which was elevated out of the water. On the shore the earth was thrown up into a series of great ridges, trees were torn up by the roots and broken to pieces, while everything visible showed the effect of some mighty force. Mir. Balch is confident that it was of recent occurrence, the appearance of the broken rocks at the waters edge warranting this conclusion. Chicago Record

Fresh Water Holsters.

Now, some say there is no such thing as fresh water lobster The Connecti- cut newspaper man rises to the emer- gency and gives this in answer: Ben nett French, while fishing in a brook near the home of Charles Bradley, near Zoar, found fully developed lobster, over 6 inches in length, which he cap tured and is to save in alcohol as a cu- riosity. Few people have seen fresh wa ter Holsters, although Sid Victory, the veteran fisherman, states that he has found few specimens in the same brook. The lobster is perfectly formed and is perfect likeness of his salt wa ter brethren. '-Hartford Courant.

FLUSH TIMES.

The farmers of Jefferson County are to be congratulated above those in any other section of the State upon the abundant crops of cotton and corn. In fact every since Governor Clarke uttered those memorable words, damn Jefferson County" or words to that effect, all nature has conspired to defeat his curse.
 The present corn crop is the largest in the history of the county, and it is estimated by those old in authority that the cotton yield will be as great as that of last year and with prices ruling at eight cents. The majority of Jefferson County farmers will be able to discharge all of their old obligations and start young bank account.
 Mr. J. W. Ragland, one of the largest cotton buyers in the State, said that the present advance was not due to bullish effects, but that the price would remain in the neighborhood of eight cents throughout the season. He further said that there was larger pro- portiouate yield in. Jefferson County than elsewhere in the State.
 The low price of cotton in 1894 was never before equalled, and on account of the high price of corn of the same year, it was altogether natural that the attention of the farmers should be turned from cot ton to corn. This is shown by the decreased acreage throughout the Cotton States, Arkansas falling twenty per cent. below last years crop and nearly thirty per cent. in estimated yield
 The Jefferson County farmers proved an exception to the rule and pitched large crop of each. At the high price of cotton and the abun- dance of corn, this year will be referred to in the future as flush times" in Jefferson County.

An Appropriate Hymn.

Chief Big Tree had powwow the other day at Brantly Baptist church, Baltimore. The big Indian spoke in his native Kiowa. An interpreter named Samuel AHa-Tone stood alongside of the mighty warrior on the platform and sandwiched his English versions in be- tween the guttural sounds of the chief. Such was tho effect of the presence of this Indian, who, before his conversion a year ago, was redhanded from the slaughter of both whites and redskins, that when he had ended his simple re- marks the entire audience spontaneously burst out into that stirring old mission ary hymn, "There Is Fountain Filled With Blood.

.Thirty Days In Jail." She Said When the Judge Turned the Case Over to Her.

'sThirty Days In Jail," She Said When the
 Judge Turned the Case Over to Her.
 The novelty of wife being called to pronounce sentence upon her husband added zest to the proceedings in the po- lice court at Richmond recently. John Trexler had time and time again been fined for drunkenness, and his wife in variably paid the fines The other day he was up again on the customary charge, with the added offense of wife beating.
 Justice Crutchfield, whose unique methods of dispensing justice are well known, turned an unwilling ear to the chronic culprit and called upon the wife to decide the penalty. Mrs Trexler calmly scanned her derelet husband and sternly said:
 Thirty days in jail. {"
 Trexler pathetically pleaded for for giveness, alleging penitent spirit and yearning to reform, but the oft abused and now triumphant wife was inexor- able, and the court ordered that the sen- tence should take effect at once. New York Sun.

HON. E. w. RECTOR, of Hot Springs, denies that Gov Clarke has ever intimated deal whereby Rector was to run for Governor and Clarke, for the Senate, each to re- ceive the others support. It is not reasonable to suppose that should MT. Rector run for Governor he would desire the support of Gov. Clarke since that would do him more injury than good. Anyhow, such deal would not be necessary, for it is generally conceded that Mir. Rector can be elected Governor oi Arkansas any time he desires.

REVEALED AFTER DEATH.
Another California Scandal Revealed by
 Lawsuit

Lawsuit.
 Another scandal ill the plutocratic life of the Pacific coast has been revealed by the suit of negro woman who former ly resided in Louisville to establish the right of her son to share in the estate of the late millionaire Edward Barron of San Francisco. That anything is pos sible ill the picturesque society of the California metropolis is indicated by the fact that the San Francisco press han dies this case as all ordinary matter of litigation, i'll which the principal ques- tion is one of legal right
 Back of the suit there is a sensational story of intrigue and intimidation in which Chris Buckley, the former boss of San Francisco politics, figures. It ap- pears that after the millionaire wearied of the society of the colored woman he shipped her off to Louisville, accom- panied by an agent, who purchased a house for her there and supplied her with funds.
 Afterward the agent sought to keep her i'll Louisville and prevent her an noying the millionaire by threats that she would be sent to prison if she did not cease writing to Barron. The wom- an was not to be intimidated so easily, and after the allowances of money were stopped she returned to California. The result is the sensational suit now being fought.
