SAVED BY A WOMAN.
Light House Keepers Daughter
PIunges Into the Seething Waves,
and Rescues Two Drowning Men.

bridgeport, Conn, July 13 --Stratford
Light shelters a heroine. Agnes Jud-
son, the pretty daughter of the light
keeper yesterday dashed into the wat
ers that seethe and boil off the base
of the light, and with the help Of her
brother, brought ashore two men who,
while fishing, had fallen from their
boat.
Agnes Judson is scarcely II years old.
She lives with her parents and her
brother Henry in the lighthouse, and at
times assists her father and brother
in attending the light. She is a. noted
swimmer, and has won prizes in anna
teur swimming contests along the
shore.
Miss Judson was up in the tower of
the lighthouse. AS the plucky girl was
looking off shore she saw a small yawl
which had anchored Off the reef earlier
in the afternoon pitching and rolling
ominously. In it were two men who
had been fishing and who did not seem
to appreciate the danger of their sit
uation A lurch of the boat threw the
men overheard.
Miss Judson at once appreciated the
peril of the two men. Selling q rope,
which had been fastened to a timber
of the tower, she called to her brother
and plunged into the waves. The men
were struggling in the deep water a
hundred yards from the lighthouse.
One of them seemed scarcely able to
keep himself anoat. He had already
shown signs of distress when Miss
Judson neared him. She called to him
at the top of her voice to keep his
courage up and then she struck out to
his rescue.
Henry Judson also had gone into the
water and was following his sister
with as sturdy strokes. The weaker
fisherman seemed just about to sink
for the second time when Miss Judson
succeeded in getting the end of the
rope within his reach. He was so
dazed that at first he did not seem to
know what to do, but the plucky girl
commanded him to "catch hold' and
by sheer force of her determination
compelled him to grasp it. Then with
her assistance the man was gotten into
shallow water while Henry had at
tended to the other fisherman and
succeeded ir landing him at the light
house platform.

THE DEEPEST WELL.
1t Is Located at Pittsburg and Is
More'n n Mile Deep.

From Popular Science News.
The deepest well in the world will
soon be completed near Pittsburg. 1t
is now more than one mile deep, and,
when finished, it may reach down two
miles into the earth. 1t is being bored
in the interest of science. The object
in penetrating so deeply is to determine
Just what the interior of the human
footstool is like. From commercial
point of view, the well was success
long ago. At comparatively few feet
below the surface both gas and oil
were struck in paying quantities, but
the company owning the plant deter
mined to dedicate it to science, and in
vited Professor William Hallock, of
Columbia college,to carry on a series of
temperature Investigations The well
grows steadily hotter as its depth in
creases.
1t is the intention of the company to
continue the boring process until some
thing new is developed. At the very
least they claim natural steam would
be encountered, or the well walls would
finally become so hot that water could
be pumped up in the form of steam,
and thus the natural power of the fu-
ture be obtained. The gas operates the
engines.

FATAL QUARREL IN MICHIGAN
Moses Walker Murdered by Wesley
Bennett Near Ionia.

Ionia, Mich, July 13.-Moses Walker,
a bachelor, who lived two miles west
of this city, opposite the state house
of correction, was shot and instantly
killed at 10 o'clock last evening by
Wesley Bennett, a farm hand on an
adjoining farm. Bennett had been
keeping company with Walkers niece,
and they had just returned from the
city.
The woman. Lydia Vivian, jumped
out of the buggy in front of the house.
Walker, who was on the porch, walked
into the road and, II is said, ordered
Bennett away. In the quarrel which
ensued Bennett fired three shots at
Walker, each of which took effect, the
third striking the heart.
1t is understood Bennett told the
sheriff in Jail he intended to kill Walk
er. Some think the bullets We're or
iginally intended for the woman, as
she said she had that day refused to
marry him. She was divorced in the
Ionia courts last May.

HUMAN BODY IN A BARREL.
Chastity Discovery of a Party OfFish-
ermen in Georgia.

Quitman, Ga, July 13.-Jacob Woo
tenn, while fishing on Mule creek, in
the upper part of the county, in COM
pany with several others, discovered
a barrel buried upright in the mud and
containing a human body. The body
had been cut into pieces, placed in
the barrel and mud had been thrown
in, filling the barrel, which was then
headed and buried.
Wooten and his friends first re-
moved the head of the barrel, then
the dirt which had formed into hard
cake, and to their horror beheld a
switch of human hair neatly plated,
about two feet in length, black and evil
IDENTIFY belonging to the head of young
white woman. Next pieces of flesh and
clothing were taken out, all in fairly
good state of preservation.
The flesh, while partly decomposed,
had dried and the skin had a mummi-
fled appearance. The dress was of
checked homespun, while there was a
knit undervest and an underskirt of
| bleached homespun. No one from the
| vicinity is missing.
