They still use animals as motive power

the following account OF carrace:
An exciting race took place In columbus

started up the avenue at terrlhc rate:
The gripman shouted to the conductor OF
an approaching Ninth-avenue car, ana
the latter frantically called upon the
driver to increase his speed.
The driver was q man of nerve, with
voice like a foghorn. He started his
horses on q run, and commanded the
passengers to ri main in their seats. he
yelled like a Comanche to the men sta

At the institution she was regarded as

STREATOR, ILL, July 26.-The Chi
cago and Alton Railway is the first of the
six lines leading into streator to be af-
fected by the coal miners strike, having
temporarily discontinued its through
freight trains between Chicago and Peoria
because of lack OF fuel. The Burlington
and Quincy road is being considerably in
convenienced by the insufficient fuel sup
ply, some of it's coal being hauled over
land ten to twenty miles. although the
traffic on its lines has not been Interrupt
ted.
Two big mills at Marseilles, this county,
were com peled to shut down to-day
through lack of fuel. at Ottaws, the
county seat, several factories have been
closed. The same is true at La Sale and
Minonk, where there are large mines.
The entire supply OF coal, slack and dirt
has been exhausted and it is impossible to
buy coal at any price. Some of the big
gest factories in the district are using
wood for steam purposes. Thrashers in
nearly every instance are being operated
by cobs or wood for fuel.

WAS A SLAVE FIFTY YEARS AGO.
Death at the Age of 1O5 Years of "Aunt"
Charity Green in Boston.

Death at the Age of 1O5 Years of "Aunt'
Charity Green in Boston.
Mrs. Charity Green, los years old, an in
mate of the Home for Aged Uolored
Women, Myrtle street, West End, died
Yesterday noon from old age. The funeral
services will be held at the home at IL
Wednesday.
Aunt" Charity was probably the Oldest
woman in Boston. and was without kith
or kindred, and depended entirely upon a
large number of friends, who constantly
visited the institution where she spent the
last twenty-five years.
There is no authentic record OF the date
OF the birth of Aunt" Charity owing to
the fact that the time she was born in
Portsmouth, Va, no record was kept of
the slaves unless they were what was
called "choice lot" 1t is, however, sub
stantiated by some prominent people In
Cambridge, who are the direct relatives to
the owner of the estate on which Aunt"
Charity was born, and who, in her declin-
ing years, have done all III their power to
make her life a pleasant one, that Mrs.
Green was born a slave on the old Cam
estate, then owned by one of the leading
families of that town.
She was born near the present Ports
mouth navy-yard. Here she lived and
married. Her father was a Portuguese
and her mother an African slave. In those
days the child took the condition of its
mother. and, as the mother was slave,
aunt Charity became at birth slave.
From her own statements and further
| substantiated by the descendants of the
| Cam family now in Cambridge, she was
born in January, 1892. She lived in the
service of three generations OF the Cam
family, and came to Boston in 1851, where
she has since remained, a free woman.
The pathetic side of the history of
Aunt Charity lay in the fact that In
| slavery she was separated from her hus-
band and her son. Her husband was
Harvey Green and belonged to Bethuai
Veal of Suffolk. She only heard OF him
once after he was sold away from her, and
| that was when the new master OF her hus-
band sought to buy her, without success,
from her mistress. Mrs. James w. Butt
OF Portsmouth. Both her husband and
only son were carried away to Alabama.
and she has never heard from them since.
She never afterward married.
When the elder Cam died his estate
was divided among his children. Mrs.
Green was apporrioned to one of the
crandsons, James w. Butt At his death
he gave her Tree papers, armed with

Francis Eopiey Tires of His Search TO,
Gold on the Sunken Rfi.tsh Fr.gats


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 26.-The
Solicitor of the Treasury has ADVISED Sec
retary Gage to grant the application OF
Francis Eppley for the cancellation OF MS
contract for the recovery OF the treasure
supposed to be in the hull of the British
frigate Hussar, which sank in East River,
New York, in $780, This cancellation Is
the last chapter in a long story deailn
with attempts to secure the golden cargo
with which the Hussar was laden When
she left England more than hunoreo
years ago.
Eppley is lawyer and expert IN SUD-
marine matters. He was employed by
General Newton as photographic surveyor
in the work of blowing up Hallets Point
at Hellgafe, and was also employed ny
General Gilmore of the engineer corps III
surveying and removing sunken wrecks IN
Charleston harbor. For four years he was
in the coast and geodetic survey.
After spending much time and money
Eppley has obtained what he believes 10
be conclusive evidence that the treasure
was not in the frigate when she went
down. The Hussar was bringing In
cargo OF coin to pay the Kings troops
when she sank on rock.
Eppley's decision 10 give up the searcn
was based on record found in the Ad-
miralty Office written by Fletcher Belts, a
petty officer. Belts said there was 0,OOo
in gold aboard two days before the Hussar
was lost but the money was safely
landed and delivered into the custody OF
Com missary- General Delaney. Belts as
sisted in the transfer OF gold. Secretaries

cuted the search, and ordered Bayard to
