leading blockaders a few years
ago: They are plucky and full
of energy. The Jordans anything

Buried Alive.

Mr.. II L. Wooten, of this city.
Uniforms US Of distressing reve-
latlon, which came about through
the removal of the body of his
uncle, the late Mr.. Charles
Wooten, of Centreville, Pitt
lcounty. Mr.. Wooten died about
5 years ago, and the other day
his orother-in-law, Mr.. Jos.
May disinterred the remains to
! place them elsewhere.
Both the box and coffin were
found in a good state Of pre-
|servation but one side Of the
coffin was found to have been
forced off-to have been forced
with such violence as to break
the screws, and Mr.. Wooten's
body, instead of being on it's
back, in which position it is ab-
solutely known to have been
buried, was on the side with the
face toward the part of the
coffin which had been burst open.
There seems to be but one So
luton of this condition of affairs
and that is that life was not ex-
tinct when Mr.. Wooten was inter>
red, and that he revived before
death came and Struggled suffi-
GENTLY to rend the coffin in the
manner described.
We believe such a case as this
is Of extremely rare occurrence,
but as such do happen, even if
the cases are widely separated,
we blame no one for exercising
every precautior possible to in
sure against the premature bur
ial of their loved ones, -Newbern

Contrasting the condition OF
the timber lands in the South
and the Northwest. F. Fellows,
a lumberman of Mosinee, Wis.
states that the South is the
E"United States lumber reserve
In an interview with a New Or
leans Picayune reporter he said s:
"The forests in the South, I
lind, IN many places, are primes
val. There are miles upon miles
of cypress and yellow.pine which
the saw mill will not touch for
years to come. It is different
with the white pine Of Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin. There
will be very little Of it left in
twenty years at the rate it IS be-
ing cut at present. The timber
lands North are nearly all in the
bands Of a few wealthy men and
powerful corporations, and, be-
sides the tract they own, there
are now only isolated strips left
untouched. l believe that it will
pay any man to buy yellow pine
timber lands or cypress tracts.
Cypress is a timber that is be-
coming very popular wherever
it is introduced. It answers we'll
the purposes for which it is
used [ don't know how pross
porous the millmen are down
here, but I should judge there is
money for the capitalist who
goes into cypress the correct
way"

and then John D. Spreckels hired special
train to bring the delayed English mail
on from Sacramento. Snow in the noun
taIns was the cause OF the trouble but in
spite of all Mr.. Spreckels' efforts the
steamer was twenty -four hours late at
Sydney.
Fourteen years ago the Alameda was
launched from the Cramps shipyard. At
that time she was, as she is still, the
finest American steamer of her class
afoat She logs her 342 miles a day. and
from years end TO years end she never
gives the engineers any trouble. Month
in and month out she gets in on schedule
time, and, unlike the overland train sery-
ice, her mails are always few hours early
instead of ''twenty-four hours late''
The big steamer was not fully due until
noon Yesterday, but at A. NJ. she passed
Meiggs' wharf, and an hour later her pas
sengers were ashore and scattered in their
homes or hotels.
When the Alameda left Philadelphia A.
D. Little was IN charge of the engine
room Before that he had been chief as
sistant on the Pennsylvania running be-
tween Liverpool and Philadelphia but the
builders of the vessel wanted a competent

and the record of the steamer shows what
kind of an engineer he is.

Protest Against a Cement Roof for the
City Hall.
At the metal-roofers' meeting Wednes-
day evening resolution was passed con-
demning the decision of the City Hall
Commissioners in recommending a ce-
ment roof for the City Hall instead of
slate or tin.
The roofers claim that the interior sup
ports Of the building are not strong enough
to hold up the weight OF a cement roof.
They say that the least sag will crack the
cement, and ieaky roof will be the re-
suit. This class of roofs have been tried
several times in this City and have proved
failures.
A committee was selected to call upon
the Com mmissioners and Supervisors with
the protest against the proposed work.
There was another strike on the old Pa
cifc Bank job yesterday, caused by the ap-
pearance of P. n. Kuss' non-union paint
ers in the building. The metal-roofers led
the strike.

Became Bewildered by Passing
Teams and Fell, Breaking
Her Leg.
WAS NOT PROPERLY DIRECTED
Lays the Blame on the Railroad
Company and Wonders That
She Was Not Killed.

Manager Winnings transfer system was
the cause of an old lady, Mrs. G. More, re-
ceiving serious injuries at the corner OF
Third and Market streets last evening.
Ignorant of the red tape necessary for
changing from one car to another she be-
came alarmed and confused by the passing
teams, and while endeavoring to elude a
team that was bearing down upon her she
fell and broke both bones of her leg.
She arrived at Third and Townsend
streets from San Gregorio, San Mateo
County, to pay visit to her two daugh-
ters who reside in this City. She boarded
an electric car and at Third and Market
procured check from the conductor.
Being entirely ignorant of the transfer
rule she started to cross Market street,
with the intention of taking Castro
street car. A gentleman, seeing that she
had come directly from the Third-street
line, stopped her and explained to her
that it was necessary to have the cheek
exchanged for transfer by the man
standing on the corn r.
The Castro car moved on and she be-
came excited and bewildered. She went
to the transfer man, but as she started to
cross the street again to catch her car a
team nearly ran her down.
The transfer man grabbed the horses
brides, but the old lady, in turning
quickly to get out of the way, fell and
broke her leg.
She lay moaning on the street till the
patrol wagon was sent for and she was
taken TO the Receiving Hospital. DR..
RUNE found that she had sustained a
compound comminuted fracture of both
bones of the right leg.
Tf," she said when seen at the hospital,

electric car ard board the other car
would not now be here with broken leg.
l thought when l got the check from the
conductor that IL was ali | needed, and
when l found | was mistaken l lost my
head and became confused.
How is an old lady like me living in
the country to know about their rules and
regulations. The conductor of the electric
car should have told me that had to get
the check changed for transfer and I
would have known what to do. It's Won

WILLAMETTE SUIT ENDED
Judge Morrow Awards the Sur.
plus Less the Costs to the
Oregon Receiver.
The Fund Thus Disposed of Amounts
to Twenty-Three Thousand
Dollars.

Judge Morrow handed down yesterday
a written opinion of forty closely type
written pages in the case of r. d. Chandler
OF the steamship Willamette Valley, in
which Charles Clark, receiver of the
Oregon Pacific Railroad Company, ap-
pointed by the State court OF Oregon, ap-
peared as claimant.
Several petitions were presented to the
District Court for the satisfaction Of claims
against the surplus proceeds derived flom
the sale of the vessel and remaining after
all maritime liens had been satisfied. The
receiver applied for the entire surplus as
the representative of the Oregon court, in
whose possession the property OF the
insolvent corporation was and also as
claimant of the vessel.
Counter petitions were filed by the
m aster for his wages as master and pilot j;
by Judgment creditor who had recovered
common law Judgment in the State
courts; by the sureties who went on a
bond TO release the vessel when she was
first hbeled and were compelled to pay the
amount of the decree; by several insur-
ance companies as holders of receiver s
certificates purporting to give them a
prior claim in the payment of premiums
for insurance and by other holders of
certificates.
The court, after careful consideration,
awarded the entire surplus, less all costs,
to the receiver on the ground that he was
the representative of the owner and
primarily entitled to the same. and that
none of the petitioners, other than the
holders of receivers certificates, had any
lien, legal or equitable, against the fund,
as against the claim of the owner.
The fund thus disposed of amounts to
ahout 500 000
