WHISKY TRUST REOETVERsHIP.
Some More Sensational Developments
MdH BE ErDected.

some more sensational Deuel0pnIentS
May BE Expected.
INDIANAPOLIS, March 81 Louis
Ewbanks of Indianapolis said to-day that
more sensational developments in the
whisky trust receivership may be expected
soon. Relative to the deed being filed in
the various counties by order of the United
States court he said:
This deed, now in the hands of the
Recorder of Dearborn County, actually
conveys less than one-fifth of the real
estate belonging to the trust and none of
the personal estate. The descriptions are
printed in small, close-set type and cover
eleven large pages, and the phrases which
declare continued ownership of the per-
sonal estate and of so much of the real
estate are introduced in about the middle
of the page in an inobstrusive manner. Of
course, the action of the officers in using a
printed description of the property in
which these Objectionable phrases are
found, and thereby failing to obey the
order of the court may have been entirely
innocent, and if SO they will doubtless
hasten to execute new deed actually con-
veying the property which it describes"

IMPORTING Flax SEED.
Large Quantities Shipped From Argen-
tine to This Country

O"fUO NouHttseco chtppSu from ATHen-
tine to This Country.
NEW YORK, March 21.-The arrival at
this port early in the week of a steamer
from the Argentine Republic with cargo
of 1900 bushels of fax seed has brought
to light some interesting facts. 1t seems
that quite trade has been going on in
seed from the far-away country for some
time past, about 100000 bushels of the Ar
gentine seed having already been sold here.
Another vessel with cargo similar to the
one received here this week is due here
next week. The seed, although dirty, is
reported to be of good quality and the price
is equal to 81 % per bushel duty paid, the
latter amounting to 20 cents per bushel.
Crushers get rebate on oil cake exported.
which makes the net price about 81 20 paid
for the Southern American article. Ameri-
can fax seed is quoted nominally at 81 so
and 81 So. 1t is interesting to note that
two years ago America exported large
quantities of fax seed. Now she is i'm
porting.

CAUSE OF THE EXPLOSION.
Probably the Work of a Miner With a
Big CHARGE of PosCder.

Big charge OF PotCder.
SALT LAKE, Utah, March 21-A spe-
cial to the Tribune from Evanston, Wyo..
says: Ever since the explosion at Red
Canyon mine work has progressed steadily
in gaining access to it, bringing out the
dead and caring for the bereaved families.
Not one in the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion escaped, all being instantly killed.
There may be more than sixty killed, but
that is the number shown after carefully
checking the roll. OF those who were in
iured around the mine DIR. Gamble. the
resident mine physician, has about twenty
five under treatment.
This morning David G. Thomas, State
mine inspector, arrived and will remain
until all the bodies are recovered. and will
thoroughly inspect the mine. He says he
considered this the best ventilated and
safest mine in the State being free from
gas and with plenty of safety appliances
ALI agree that the cause of the explosion
was miner putting in large charge of
powder to throw down big amount of
coal for the next morning. This charge
set fire to what is known as a dust ex-
plosive. This dust, of minute particles of
coal mixed with air, made the dangerous
compound which caused the destruction of
property and carried SO many men to
instant death.
The work of bringing out the dead is
necessarily slow. Besides those killed in
the manway, the balance met death on the
seventh and eighth levels, one-third of a
mile down the slope, SO steep as to make it
difficult and laborious. Some OF the
bodies were partly covered with the caves,
hence requiring searching to find them,
but most of them were lying fully ex-
posed.

County, impaneled a jury, which viewed
the remains brought out, identified them

LESTER HALLIDAY,s DEATH.
Police Think 1T Case of Suicide and
Not Murder.


BUFFALO, N. Y, March 21.-Lester T.
Halliday died to-day and the police do not
know whether to believe his ante-mortem
statement or that he committed suicide.
With his dying breath Halliday reiterated
the story. but the bullet that pierced his
lung did not perforate his coat and vest.
The shot was fred close to the body and
the revolver was found where it had been
flung from the bridge, all tending to con-
firm the suicide theory rather than that of
robbery. The police have made two ar
rests. The suspects are Lillian Preston
and Calvin Baker, the former Halliday s
sweetheart and the latter his rival. The
woman accuses Baker of threatening HalH-
days life, though Baker does not answer
the description Halliday gave of his as

 Now, if there were only time, I would like to take you up the branch road to Watertown, just to show you how the brethren of that ideal appointment have bettered and beautified the approaches to their church; but once there you would want to continue on up to Bethlehem, where the local preacher supply with song and shout and sermon has walked up & sleepy church and dead town till all the sinners are either converted or so mad as to seem on the very verge of it. Thence you would be sure to fetch a compass through Woodbury. where the year has passed quietly but to good purpose in bringing forward fine class of proba- tioners, getting others converted to form another class, and developing & splendid Epworth League; through Southbury and South Britain, where our churches, depleted by emigration, still hold the fort for Methodism and the kingdom of God i; and Middlebury, where immigration has suddenly set in, adding one quarter to the strength of the church and setting everything agog with life.- From Re port of Presiding Elder Crandall J.

New HaveI

Roderick Atwood was born in Wood bury in the year 1884. During the spring of 1862 he married Althea Futile of Woodbury. The same spring Mir At wood purchased farm in Minortown, of George Saxton and has since resided there. He was man of marked char acteristics. A successful farmer, own ing property in many towns. To amass wealth was an important feature in his life. It is the writer's belief that no man in Litchfield county was known as far and near as the deceased. To write out ones good traits or bad deeds in black and white requires skill equal to sitting the "tares from the wheat" and it is unnecessary for one to do so. But when MT Atwood made friend he was friendly all the way through, doing them good turn in sickness or in health. He possessed knowledge of the law that would put many a lawyer to shame, which he acquired in the numerous law cases that all through his life were aI- ways on trial. Thus the end cometh to all, and at just a little beyond the prime of life his work was put down, the ac- tive brain stilled by death. The work is finished. The dead has ceased to exist. but not to be forgotten by friends or neighbors as wonderful man in many ways. He leaves aiwidow and one son to mourn his loss.
