Damage by Frost In California.

A San Francisco despatch says that ex-
IRENE cold weather, attended by hard frosts
unparalleled for 10 years, has had disastrous
effect on the grape crop of California, and
has injured severely early cherries, peaches,
prunes, apricots and vegetables. The win
ter was one of the mildest for many years,
and throughout February and part of
March the sun was as warm as in June.
The result was that all fruit was far ad-
vanced, and therefore suffered more than
usual. The wine grapes in Napa and So
mona valleys promised a large yield, and
all deciduous fruit trees were loaded. For
three nights, however, the mercury fell be-
low the freezing point, and only those
vineyardists who built fires and smudges
saved their crops. 1t is estimated that
fully one-half the grape crop of the state
is ruined. On the other hand, the price
of wine grapes has advanced to $25 a ton,
so that half a crop will bring more money
than full crop last year.

The filbustering steamer Bermuda has
cleared from the Florida coast this week
with another load of arms and ammunition
for the Cuban rebels.
Rev. George p Knapp, the American
missionary who was recently expelled from
Bitlis by the Turkish authorities, has been
handed over to the United States consul at
Alexandretta. He will demand a trial Sat
urday.
A despatch from Chihuahua, Mexico,
says that the Santa Eulalia mines, IA miles
from that city have caved in and 81 men
were entombed. Thirty-seven have been
taken out, 10 dead and y fatally injured.
There is little hope of rescuing the others
alive.
Miss Lydia Bradley of Peoria, ILL.,, who
has given that city hospital, a home for
aged women, a church, ard park of las
acres, has announced her intention of i'm
mediately erecting polytechnic institute,
the building of which will cost $50, 900.
With the machinery and annual endow-
ments the institute will represent a cost of
81 100000.

The old Grand Pacific Hotel property
in Chicago has been leased for 90 years
from the Northwestern University by a
company of Chicago capitalists, with the
provision that the structure shall be torn

William S. Lawton, counsel for Carl
Ferdinand Feigenbaum, or properly speak
ing, Carl Zahm, who was executed by cleo
tricity at Sing Sing prison Monday, makes
a statement to the effect that he believes
Feigenbaum was a murderer of the Jack
the-Ripper type, if, indeed, he was not the
author of many of the White Chapel MUIR
ders. Lawton says Zahm told him that he
was victim of the mania for killing WON.

and had got him into trouble.

Charlotte Cnrhnv.

A memorable woman stands upon the
scaffold, not this time in white, but in the
red smock of a murderess. 1t is Charlotte
Corday, born d Armans; and she has killed
Marat. If ever murder were justihable, it
was this assassination. The steInest moral
list cannot refrain from admiring this high
souled, undaunted girl; for the murder that
she committed is elevated far above an Or
binary crime. She was impelled neither by
a lust of gain, nor by jealousy, nor by ordi-
nary hate; and she only slew monster to
save unhappy France from a wholesale
slaughter. Shortly before his end Marat
had screeched demand for 2500 victims at
Lyons, for 5000 at Marseilles, for %, 600 at
Paris and for 100000 in Brittany and in
Calvados.
No wonder that Danton, Camille Des-
mouths, and Robespierre went to see this
extraordinary and most resolute young
woman, whose motive had drugged her
conscience, and who neither denied her act
nor sought to escape its consequences. She
was beheaded at 1880 in the July summer
evening. Calm-eyed and composed she
went to death, but she turned pale for a
moment when she first caught sight of the
guillotine. 81 killed one man TO save a
hundred thousand, villain to save inno-
cents, a savage wild beast to give repOse to
my country" Never has murder found so
noble an excuse; and she was only 25.-

Cripple Creek in Ashes.


The Business Part of the City swept
Out of Existence by Two IncendInry
Fires.
The main portion of the business sec
ton of Cripple Creek, Col, is in ashes
and charTed timbers and crumbling walls
now mark the sites of what were the best
business blocks of the town. One million
dollars is considered conservative esti-
mate of the damage, while the loss is
estimated as high as two millions.
The insurance will not exceed $3.50, 900.
A later despatch says: Evidence has
been secured which indicates that the fire
at Cripple Creek, on Saturday, was the
work of incendiaries for the purpose of
making raid on the First National bank,
which now appears to have had on deposit
something over 100000, on account of
the near approach of pay day at the lead
ing mines. A large force of extra officers
were sworn in to preserve order immedi-
ately after the fire. Twenty-Five large
buildings were being erected Monday.
A second fire, also incendiary, swept
over the business part of Cripple Creek
Wednesday. AT least three men were
killed and many others were injured.
Every business house in the city of any
size is in ashes, and many residences were
swept away.

Fresh water springs Under the Sea.

The hottest region on the earth's sur
face is on the southwestern coast of Persia,
on the border of the Persian Gulf. For
40 consecutive days in the months of July
and August the mercury has been known
to stand above 100 degrees in the shade,
night and day, and to run up as high as
1870 degrees in the middle of the afternoon.
At Bahrein, in the centre of the most tor
rid part of this most torrid belt, as though
it were Natures intention to make the
place as unbearable as possible, water from
wells is something unknown. Great
shafts have been sunk to a depth of 100,
200, 800 and even 500 feet, but always
with the same result-no water. This
serious drawback Notwithstanding, COM
paratively numerous population contrives
to live there, thanks TO copious springs
which burst from the bottom of the gulf
more than a mile from the shore.
The water from these springs is obtained
in a most curious and novel manner. Ma
chadores (divers), whose sole occupation is
that of furnishing the people of Bahrein
with the life-giving fluid, repair to that
portion of the gulf where the springs are
situated and bring away with them hun
dreds of bags full of water each day. The
water of the gulf where the springs burst
forth is nearly 200 feet deep, but these
machadores manage to fill their goatskin
sacks by diving to the bottom and holding
the mouths of the bags over fountain jets
this, too, without allowing the salt water
of the gulf to mix with it. The source of
| these submarine fountains is thought to be
| in the hills of OsmOnd, 400 or 800 miles
away. Being situated at the bottom of the
gulf, it is a mystery how they were ever
discovered, but the fact remains that they
have been known since the dawn of his
tory.-Public Opinion.

And Then Shot Himself After Being
Wounded by a Pursuer.
Peter Egbert, %, shot and killed Mrs.
Herman Hascke and two children, Her
man and Aggie, Sheriff w. d. Null and
Constable w. M. Sweem, Saturday at
Rockville, Indiana. He then killed him
self. His sister, Miss Florence Egbert,
who was lying very i'll of typhoid fever died
soon after the tragedy from the shock.
Egbert was insane. The shooting was
done with double-barreled breech-load-
ing shot gun. The children were killed in
their home and the mother who was
short distance away was shot down as she
approached the house. Having completed
this work of butchery, Egbert shoudered
his gun and deliberately walked up into
the business part of the town. Sheriff
Null and Constable Sweem were planning
a means of capturing the murdSrer. Egbert
was walking across north side of the square,
holding his gun in position with both bar
rels cooked, when he saw Null and Sweem
crossing the street toward him. He called
out to them not to come any nearer! The
two officers then retired into a stairway in
the national bank building for a moments
consultation, when Egbert turned and COM
ing upon them suddenly shot and instantly
killed both men. He then fed, but was
shot in the heel by one of the citizens.
Egbert succeeded in reaching one of the
stalls at the fair grounds where he shot
himself. The gun ignited the clothing and
the body was partly burned.

Five persons, at least, were killed out
right, three fatally and II more or less in
jured, and great destruction of property
was wrought, by cyclone which passed
over Clay county, Kansas, Saturday night
Its track varied from $50 yards to a quar-
ter of a mile in width. 1t tore through a
farming community and left nothing
standing. The cyclone was followed by a
terrific rainstorm, which lasted several
hours, flooding the devastated district.
The victims were in their houses, and the
most of them in bed. A large number of
cattle and horses were killed, and fruit in
the storms track was destroyed. Many
of the injured remained all night pinned
down by the wreckage. In several in
stances, people were lifted into the air by
the cyclone and carried for a long distance

Veterans Not Preferred.

The veterans preference act of the Mas
sachusetts legislature of 1895 is not consti-
tutional. The full bench of the Massachu-
sets supreme court at Boston so declared
in the case of Frederick w. Brown against
Charles 7. Russell and others, civil service
commissioners, and ordered the writ of
mandamus to be issued The petitioner
was an applicant for appointment to the
detective force of the district police, and,
having taken an examination before the
civil service commissioners, was highest
upon the list of those found eligible for
appointment. The civil service commits
sioners under the veterans preference act
gave the preference to f. d. Bean, vet
eran who had not taken an examination.
The petitioner claimed that this preference
was in violation of his constitutional rights
The name of Bean will now be stricken
from the rolls. The veterans preference
act was one of the bills which became a
law over the veto of the late Gov. Green
halge.

On Account of Jameson's Ride.
Five Men Sentenced to Death, John
Hays Hammond, the American EngI-
neer, Among Them.

Five Men Sentenced to Death, John
neer, Among Them.
A despatch from Pretoria in the Trans
vaal says: The trial of John Hays Ham
mond, the American mining engineer,
Colonel Francis Rhodes, brother of Cecil
Rhodes, ex-premier of the Cape Colony;
Lionel Phillips, George Farrar and others,
who were arrested at johannesburg upon
charges of treason in being active members
of the johannesburg Reform union, which
was held to have instigated DIR. Jameson's
raid, ended Tuesday in the sentencing of
five of the leaders of the so-called reform
movement to death. Phillips, Rhodes and
Farrar pleaded guilty of high treason on
Friday last, and Hammond, who was i'll
and not in court on that day, made a SINH
lar plea Tuesday. This course, it was
thought, would have the effect to mitigate
the severity of their sentence, but it turns
out that it did not.
John Hays Hammond, the American
mining engineer, is now about 80 years
old. He was educated at Yale and at
Freiburg. He first made himself conspic-
uous by his work in the service of the
Federal government. Through his con-
nection with the Sonora mines in Mexico
he became known in Europe, and was Sc
cured by the Rhodes company for work in
the Transvaal Being in the companys
employ, he naturally became identified
with its interests, and by this means was
drawn into the plot to overthrow the
Transvaa Republic. He was receiving a
salary of $4,000 year from the Rhodes
company.
Joseph Chamberlain, the British colo
NAL secretary, has interceded in behalf of
the condemned men.
Ldter.-The sentence of death on the
condemned men has been RENTED by the
Transvaal government, but it is not known
what form of punishment will be substi
tuted

SLOUGH hat drawn well down on his head
and his overcoat on. The horse stands
with his four feet firmly planted on the
pedestal, head up, ears alert.
