Chicago, Nov. S.-Aeronaut Stewart
Young was drowned in the lake at the
foot of Monroe street this afternoon
while attempting to descend from his
balloon in a parachute. Young ascend
ed from the winter circus on Wabash
avenue. A brisk wind was blowing,
and the airship quickly veered to the
east. Immediately over Lake Front
Park, Young was seen to loosen his
parachute, and make ready to desert
the balloon. Evidently something went
wrong, for the aeronaut failed to drop,
and the balloon suddenly exploding fell
into the lake. Young was seen to
struggle violently to free himself, and
then sink. The lifesaving crew dragged
the lake for the body, but was unable
to bring it up

The Dalles, Or, Nov. S.-The Ia
coma q Columbia River railroad is the
name Of the new company that will
operate freight and passenger line
between Tacoma and The Dalles. Col
onel William Bailey. of New York, is
at the head OF the company, the prin-
cipal portion of the stock being sub
scribed by New York capitalists.
When it was known that Colonel
Bailey was the purchaser of the Lake
Park road, Il couple of weeks ago, it
was said that the road would probably
be extended to the rich mineral tracts
abou tEatonville and Mount Rainier,
but no one dreamed that the extension
would be carried as far as the Column
bia river.
1t now transpres, though, that ac-
tive operations will be commenced al
most Immediately, and pushed with
vigOr until the two cities are connected.
1t is hoped to tap section of country
that is as yet practically unknown, but
which is thought to be exceedingly
rich in timber, minerals and fertility.
The road will go by way of Eatonville,
Nisqually, Tilton river coal fields and
on across the Cascades to The Dalles.
Negotiations are nearly completed for
terminal facilities that will be convent
ent TO all shippers.
Tacoma will be the operative head
quarters of the new road, the head
office being at 80 Broadway, NewYork.
A freight and passenger Office has
been opened in Tacoma. The first
work will consist in strengthening out
the old Lake park road and getting
the roadbed in shape.

f,nat Silenced His Voice,

J. Russell Powell, the basso at Cen
trol Avenue NJ. Il. Church, was to have
made his farewell appearance at the
services Sunday morning. says the In
dianapolis journal, and large number
of the friends of the promising young
singer had come to hear him sing his
last song there. Mr.. Powell had two of
the best numbers in his repertoire for
that morning and was in excellent
voice when he reached the church, but
q most curious circumstance silenced
his voice temporarily. Just as Mr..
Powell stepped into the church door
way n small gnat flew into his nose and
caused him to sneeze violently. and the
snceze brought on severe cough,
which in turn ruptured one of the small
blood vessels near the vocal cords. He
took his place in the choir but soon
found that he could not utter sound

AN NSURCENT VICTORY
Spaniards Suffer a Crushing
Defeat in Matanzas.
TOWN OF HOLGUIN CAPTURED
Conflict RACES ut Many Points With

Convoy in Pinar Del Rio.

New York, Nov. S.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says: The
insurgent troops in the field are very
active. On October 30 the Spaniards
| sustained the most severe loss they
| have met for some time. On the bord.
ers of Matanzas province General Mo.

brigade of troops to participate in
Blanco's reception. At Aguacate he
heard the rebels were encamped in
Purgatory hills, and broke his march tc
attack them. The fight was long
lone, and the Spanish loss was large.
HE was finally forced to retreat.
In Pinar del Rio province the rebels
under command of Captain LORI at

is denied.
General Luque with heavy reinforce

In book on the Cuban war just pub
ished here, General Weyler writes the
introduction. In one places he says:
1.-The system OF warfare carried on by
me during this campaign is not new

by the Americans of the North when
they fought their brethren Of the
South"
A million dollars in paper currency
bas mysteriously disappeared from the
treasury here. The money was intend

Vegetable GrOwths Upon Which Man
Places Dependence.
From the nature of the case, It Is i'm.
possible to give with eXactness the
number OF species of plants that have
been employed for various purposes:
much more is 1t impossible to mention
IN a brief enumeration all the human
uses or plants. Root, stem, leaf, flower,
seed, even spores, have been utilized,
And there are numberless plants that
contain some principle or value which
so far has been derived from few.
Plants useful to man are estimated to
number about fifteen thousand. Among
them are five thousand roughly classed
as economic and food plants. The
above Includes eleven hundred edible
fruits and berries, and three hundred
edible seeds. Fifty are reckoned among
the cereals, and forty as uncultivated
edible graminoceous seeds. Four hun
dred and twenty are classed as vegeta-
bles and salads, and two hundred and
sixty are listed among the tubers.
There are thirty Of the onion
group, and thirty-two Of arrowroot.
From thirty-nine plants sugar may be
obtained in paying quantities. Vinous
drinks are obtained from two hundred
plants: arOmatics from two hundred
and siXty-siX. There are fifty substi-
tutes for coffee, and one hundred and
twenty-nine for tea.
Tannin IS present in countless plants,
and has been mentioned in one hun
dred and forty-one, and caoutchouc in
dia rubber in ninety-six. The near
relative of this substances, gutta-per-
cha, named from one plant, has been
found in at least seven. white resin and
balsamc gums are yielded by not less
than three hundred and eighty-nine.
There are ten wax trees and shrubs,
and three hundred and thirty which
have been made to yield essential oils.
From lightweight different plants, pot
ash. soda, and iodine have been extract
ed and six hundred and fifty are of use
to the dyer, and to make ink.
About three hundred have fibers that
are of use in the textile arts. Forty.
four or more are used in making paper.
Forty eight have been utilized In max
ing roofing preparations, and seven
hundred and forty have been turned
to account in miscellaneous building
operations. OF all plants known, only
six hundred and fifteen are known to
be in any degree poisonous
or grasses it estimated that there are
nearly four thousand distinct species.
OF these. fifteen are used for lawn pur-
poses For hay. there have been count
ed as many as forty-five; for soillng,
nine; for pasture. twenty-nine. For
soil binders or soil builders, mention
has been made Of sixteen.

The KielhoH Horror.

St. Petersburg. Nov. 8.-Further
details have been received of the ter
rble casualty which took place on o.
tober 26 last in the village church at
Kielhoff, when an alarm of fire was
raised and panic ensued, resulting in
the death of "a persons and the severe
injury of 16O others. 1t appears that
the alarm of fire was due to the light
ing of candles at the moment when the
windows were opened to allow the va.
por to escape from the packed and
steaming congregation. Among the VIC
Tins fatally injured were 10 pregnant
women.

IN THE ANIMAL KINGDOM.
The Duration of Life Varies According to
circumstances.

The Duration of Life Varies According to
circumstances.
Among the long lived in the animal
kingdom we may mention birds, fish
and reptiles, although even in the lower
animals the duration of life varies i'm
mensely, according to the species. OF
fish, the carp are especially long lived
Among birds, some of the parrot spe-
cies are supposed to live over 100 years
The swan, the raven, the eagle, are also
credited with great length of life.
In the mammalia, the elephant at
tains the greatest age 1t grows for %
to 80 years and is said to live from 100
to $50 years and even longer. We have
no accurate means of ascertaining the
whales age. A lion is said to have lived
20 years in the Tower, but there is no ev-
idence that he attains anything like that
age in the natural state. Forty years is
recorded by naturalists as the extreme
age. The camel may attain the age of
90. 1t eats little and drinks less. The
horse is comparatively short lived ami
NAL, but it is we'll known fact that
when he does little work and passes the
greater part of his days in pasture he
may attain to about 40 years of life,
but when horse is hard worked and
fed, moreover, upon beans, oats and
other ossifying foods his days are much
shorter.
In the vegetable kingdom the yew at
tains great age. Those at Fountains alb
hey are about 1900 years old. Two
orange trees at Rome, planted respec-
lively by st. Dominic and Thomas
Aquinas, are said to be from 500 to 600
years old, and there are records of trop-
ical trees that, counting by their rings,
are supposed to have attained the age
of 800 to l, 900 years-Nineteenth Cen

Nearly everything that belonged to me
