also, Of generous proportions, strong,
hearty, healthy, a fit companion for
the young man. The writer can see
them yet, in his minds eye, as they
stood erect, vigorous, eontented and
happy in each others society, with the
light handle Of the apple-bu;ter stirrer

tie, whispering, the while, words
known only to those who love each

night stands out among all the others,
as one long to be remembered. The
writer has seen somewhat of the world
since those eallOw days, but who dare
say the old time wOod-choppings, corn
huskings, apple-euttings and apple
butter-boilings were not the happiest
days of his life ? We may have been,

have watches, nor "boiledr shirts, not
many of us AT least, nor fine shoes, nor
fancy late-style hats, nor kid gloves,
but we had the fun all the same, and
we were healthy, strong and active.
The writer has, many times, in com
pany with one or more boys, walked
six or eight miles to a spelling-schOOl,
corn-husking, apple-cutting, or party
of some kind, and back the same night.

Snlit and Divide in the A. 2. A.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. S.-The local
organization of the A. p. A. is dis
migrating and bids fair to meet
an early death, says the Star In
leader. With a united front 1t
was an inviucible factor in the
spring elections two years ago,
but there have been several wrang-
les since then, over candidates for
the coming election and two fac
tions have arisen. The split has
started a movement for an entirely
new order to be known as the In
dependent A. p. A. This new or
der, IL is officially stated Is to be
formed along broader lines than
the old A. p. A. A meeting OF
members of the order, who are
ready to secede and enter the new
one has been held and q commit
tee is working on q constitution
and by laws.

Something Crooked There.

SAN FRANCISCO, February s.
Clarence Murphy, who was ar
rested a week ago and charged
with being the robber of the Salem
Savings bank, says he has no fears
OF the consequence if he be COM
PEELED to return to Massachusetts,,
Murphy tells an interesting story
in relation to recent developments
in the bank robbery. He denies,
first of all, that he admitted to
Marshal Hart, who has arrived
from Salem, that he is the man
wanted, "but," he concludes,
"the person who robbed the bank
need have no fear Of prosecution"
The arrest comes as a surprise to
the bank officials who wanted the
matter hushed up.

TRANSVAAL MATTERS.
Hammond Released-Amerioan Influence
Paramont Reforms Needed In the
Money Laws.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-A special to
the World from London says: A
cablegram from Capetown reports
Mr.. Hammond's release on bail,
under strict surveillance. Arrange
ments have been made for medical
and legal attendance for the Amer
lean mining engineer and for a
house in which he may remain un-
til the conclusion Of the trial.
The company and all the other
authorities here of the Transvaal
mines, profess complete Ignorance
regarding the charges against their
accused employees. They have no
definite information, even yet OF
what may be the punishment I'M
der the laws of the Transvaal for
the offenses charged, except that it
may include the confiscation OF all
the property of the accused. These
positions are reached almost ex-
clusively by Americans. 1t is the
belief here among the South Afri-
can magnates, that the moral in
fluence of the United States in
favor of the reforms in the Trans
vaal mining laws, as well as in be-
half of the accused would go much
further than that Of England.
1t is argued that the United
States have a direct interest in pro-
noting the extreme production OF
gold there, which largely depends
upon these reforms. The present
production amounts now to about
S40,000,000 annually, but experts
insist that, with the development
of deep level mines, this will be
doubled.
An increased production would,
it is claimed, 60 far towards solv-
ing the silver question in the
United States, and inevitably in
crease the prices for American cot
ton, wheat and other products.

WICHITA, Kans., Feb. S.-The
people Of Oklahoma have adopted
a novel plan Of disposing Of thei r
surplus grain, problem which
has assumed great Importance
since the recent advance OF rates
OF transportation east and south.
The county commissioners OF
Grant county have exempted cat
tie entered for feed, from taxation.
1t is believed this action will en-
courage the rattle men OF Texas to
bring their cattle into Oklahoma.
The action of Grant county will

ORLANDO, Fla, Feb. 8.-John j.

man and Frank Lawson were yes
terday convicted for the whipping
of w. A. Brauner and sentenced to
thirty days in Jail. An appeal was

Last fall many ladies at Matt
land received some very vile let
tiers. 1t was alleged that Brauner
wrote these obscene missives, and
to punish him, Heard, Rails, Pull
man and Lawson seized him, on
the night of October 5, took him
to the woods, tied him to a tree,
and whipped him till he was near
ly dead. Brauner has always de-
MED the writing Of these letters,
and prosecuted his assailants,
with the above result. The court
Yesterday excluded all evidence in
regard to the letters. John j..
Heard and w. .. Rails, two OF the
men convicted, are respectively
postmaster and assistant postmas-
ter at Maitland.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S.-The
Chronicle says the alleged interior
ence OF Assistant Secretary Ham,
lin, OF the treasury department, in
the trial of Captain Healy, ex-com-
mander OF the revenue cutter Bear,
will, it is said, result in serious
charges being filed against him at
Washington in the near future. 1t
is not unlikely that resolutions
may be introduced in congress
with a view OF impeaching Hamlin
for the alleged attempt to cause
prejudice against Captain Healy,
by the special court Of inquiry, be-
fsre whom he has been on trial
during the past three weeks.

Theater and Press Burned.

PITTsBURG, Feb. San early
morning fire at McKeesport,
Pa, resulted in the loss of one
life and the destruction Of 100000
property. Among the buildings
destroyed was Altmeyer theatre,
in which was the McKeesport
Herald.
The fire started on the fifth floor
of the Altermeyer building, sup
posed to have been caused by de-
fective electric light wiring. The
flames were discovered by the prin-
ters OF the Herald, as the fire be-
gan to eat through the sixth floor.
The nights work had just been fin
ished and the paper was about to
90 to press. A rush was made for
the usual points Of egress, but the
stsirways were already impassa-
BILE. The only resources left were
the windows and elevator shaft.
All but B. M. Barton, the foreman,
succeeded in sliding down the rope.
His escape was cut of and he was
burned to death. The flames spread
to the residence of Bart. Strong,
adjoining, which was totally de-
stroyed. Pollard's jewelry store
and Dietrich's livery stables were
also on fire, but the flames were
extiuguished. The loss on the AL
termeyer building and the Herald
plant is estimated at $l75,000; on
other buildings, $4,000.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-A dispatch
from Ironwood, Mich, says: Cap
tain William H. Knight and his
party, who left here last spring for
the gold fields Of South Africa, have
returned home unexpectedly. For
a couple of weeks before Jamieson's
raid the officers were forming
companies and smuggling rifles
and ammunition into the country
in the bottom Of coke cars. On
Tuesday, Dec. 81, the mines were
shut down and the men were or
dered to take guns and ammuni-
ton and he prepared to march to
johannesburg by 4 o'clock in the
afternoon. The Michigan men re-
fused to obey this order, where
upon they were told they must
either take up arms against the
Boer government or leave the
mines. Capt. Knight and party
at once left and were just over the
line in the free state when the
battle between the Beers and
Jameson occurred. Many OF the
miners however were forced into
taking up arms by the officials,
who shut up all the boarding
houses and bought all the avail
able provisions and literally stary-
ed the men into accepting their
terms. The Michigan men say the
miners are Of the foreign popula-
ton OF johannesburg, have no
fault to find with the Boer gov
eminent. They also say that John
HI. Hammond deserves no SYM
