WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The Texas will
go out of commission at the Norfolk navy
yard, where she arrived Saturday evening
and after board of survey has submitted
to the Navy Department estimates covering
the cost OF the alterations to be made
in the ship, she will be turned over to the
navy yard officials, who will undertake the
work. 1t is estimated that the changes
will occupy at least three months, and the
ship may not be ready for service again
before next summer. While Ii would be
possible to make the changes piecemeal
between cruises and keep the Texas in
commission, 1t is believed that it will be
more economical to lay her up and COM
plete the work without Interruption.

NIAGARA RUNS DRY.
Ice Bridge or Dam DiVertS All the
Water to the Canadian
Falls.

Niagara Falls, n. Y, Feb. 13.-For
the first time in half a century the Amer
lean Falls practically ran dry today. By
the formation of an ice bridge, or dam,
extending from Schlosser's dock on the
American bank about half way across
the river, the water was almost entirely
diverted to the Canadian falls This
morning it was possible for a time for a
man with a plank to have walked from
the main land to Goat island without
wetting his feet, and indeed to walk
between all the islands inside of Goat
island At II o'clock the water was so
low that man in knee boots could have
walked across the brink Of the falls from
Prospect point to Goat island.

SEARCHING FOR THE HEAD.
Cincinnati Officers Have Not Given Up
Hope of Finding 1t.

Cincinnati O., Feb. 14-The authori-
ties here have a letter from Greencastle,
Ind. in which the parents of Pearl Bry-
an identified the hat sent to them as
that of Pearl and give other information
that has led to all the officers being
employed today in searching for the
head. The canal was drained during the
night and workmen have examined its
muddy basis, but nothing has been found
up to noon, although the whole course
of the canal was examined. The officers
think now that the hat found near the
body was that of Pearls; that she was
knocked senseless and that the head
was probably beaten into a shapeless
mass before it was cut off. Everything
is being done to get all the evidence
availab BILE on this side of the river so as
to turn Jackson and Walling over to
the Kentucky authorities tomorrow.
A special from Frankfort, Ky, to the
Times-Star says Gov. Bradley has been
examining the case today and requested
Sheriff Plummer to return to Newport,
Ky, for additional papers and evidence
and that he would then issue the requi-
sition tomorrow. Sheriff Plummer left
Frankfort at noon and will return to-
morrow, but it is not expected that Jack
son ana Walling will now be transferred
until next week, as their lawyers will
go to Gov. Bushnell to contest the requi-
sitiOn.
Gov. Bradley says if Sheriff Plummer
needs any assistance for the protection
of the prisoners at Newport the arsenal
of Kentucky is at his command.
