NEWPORT NEWS. VA, October III
Special )-Shortly before II O'clock this
morning, Martin Harmon. who came here
from Eastville. Va. committed suicide
by running TO James river near the foot
Of Thirtieth street and deliberately throw
ing himself into the water. Douglass
Cameron, a youth Of IS, was engaged in
catching crabs from a rowboat a few
yards south of a pier at the foot OF
Thirty-second street. He was startled
on looking up from his work to see a
well-dressed white man rush down the
steep precipice which borders the shore,
as II he had lost control Of his move
ments. and the next minute dash into the
river and run out towards deep water.
Cameron watched the spot where the man
disappeared, and as he failed to come
up again, came 10 the conclusion that he
had been drowned. The boy put ashore
in his boat. and then waded out to the
spot where he saw the unfortunate man
lying with his back down on the bottom,
and looking up into his face with a
CHASTITY stare. Cameron called TO two
companions IuTtntr up the SDOIe, ana
the three young men towed the body
ashore. and at once notified the Coroner
Coroner Gary summoned a jury and then
repaired 10 the shore, where they made
an investigation into the circumstances
surrounding the cad occurrence. Douglass
Cameron was the only witness examined,
and he gave substantially the same story
as that above. The result of the m
quest was that the man came to his !
death by drowning. The body of Har-

of black clay diagonal, and over the |
trousers was another pair, Of gray woollen |
He also had on q white linen |

After careful. examination, Superin-
tendent Mcfarland. OF the Water Depart-
ment. reports that per cent. OF the entire
waste OF city water Is confined to three
institutions. which use IL free OF charge.
At the Garfield Hospital he found the
meter registered a consumption OF 200
gallons per hour. The hourly flow from 10
p. NJ. TO A. NJ. was 7ss gallons. and the
mean hourly flow from midnight 10 =
o'clock A. NJ. was 679 gallons.
At the Children's Hospital the MEM
daily consumption and waste aggregated
1903 gallons per hour. From 10 II. ~ Ia
A. NJ. the consumption and waste was
.020 gallons. and from midnight 10 3 a.
NJ. il was l0o2 gallons per hour. At the
Washington Asylum careful measuremcnz
showed a total OF 2.lS2 gallons OF con-
sumption and waste per hour. From 10 y.

Superintendent Mcfarland Will continue
the Investigations. The commissioners in-
tend TO have the entire city gone over 70

use OF water. The data obtained will be
used to convince Congress OF the neces-
sity OF permitting the purchase Of meters

A Choir on Bicycles.

The Rev. j. A. Lee pastor of the
Third Baptist Church, of Covington,
is believer in the bicycle, and he
rides one himself, nor does he draw
the line on the members of his con-
gregation riding their wheels to SER
vice Sunday morning, or any other
morning.
81 am glad to welcome my flock or
strangers on wheels or in any other
Manner" the minister asserted one
day in conversation with a reporter,
and then he related an experience of
his last summer when the days were
long and hot.
He had gone down to Florence, a
point out from Covington some eight
or ten miles to conduct religious SER
vices for the congregation there, but
uhen he arrived one afternoon he
found that there was no choir to sing
for the evening services, and he was
annoyed for time.
He is a minister who recognizes
that the music is abont half the at
traction at the average church, and
that his own is no exception and so he
began 10 devise some means of getting
around this difficulty. A bright idea
struck him and he went to the long
distance telephone and called up q
certain young Covington man and
asked him to bring the choir up to
Florence on their wheels in time for
the evening services.
Not word was spoken to any one
about singing again that evening
until the congregation had about
gathered, when, to the to the astonish-
ment of the local worshipers, half a
dozen or more happy faced young
men and women marched into the
church and took their station near
the "amen corner" and at a signal
from the pastor opened the service
with an appropriate selection. Mr..
Lee is very popular at Florence, and
the church ever since has been grow
ing in membership.

A Horrible Crime on His Death
Bed.

DR.. John B. Carroll a prominent
physician of Parkersburg, w. Va,
who is now on his death bed confesses
to having murderd Alexander Camp
bell an influential and wealthy far
mer living near Parkersburg, eight
years ago. The trouble grew out of
an old debt of fifty dollars which was
due Campbell, and which the Doctor
was not in condition to pay. He
murdered MIN in his own house and
then dynamited it to cover up his
crime. The relatives of Campbell
have spent considerable money in try
Ing to bring the perpetrators of the
horrible deed to justice, but to no
avail, and had DR.. Carroll chose to
keep the secret the mystery would
have never been solved.

Animal Exports.

Figures from the Agricultural De-
partment show gratifying increase
in our exports Of farm animals and
animal products. For the four years
ending with and including 1892, we
shipped about an annual average OF
1896 horses, while in 1896 we export
ed 25,l26. The average export of
sheep for the same four years was
76,070, while in 1896 we exported
1856. Cattle exports do not show
so great an increase. In 1896 we
shipped to foreign markets 372,4 61
cattle, against 205, 1856 in 1889. There
has been falling off in dairy pro-
ducts in late years which have been
partly replaced by oleomargerine.
There has been decline in the ship
ment of hogs which ran as high as
1864 in 1891, but last year was only
2l,049. Only 745,656 pounds of fresh
pork was shipped out last year. Diff
ferent cured hog meats and lard ex-
ports in 1896 amounted to 1888, 421, !
173 pounds. II will do no harm to
remember in this era of good feeling
between the two great English-speak-
ing nations that our closest kin are
our best customers. Ofthe meat ex-
ports of last year given above Great
Britain took about half our shipments
of horses, nearly three-fourths of the
sheep. nearly three-fourths OF or hog
products, and over 80 per cent. of the
cattle.
