ANOTHER e'GENEYRA.''
Two Little Girls Meet Death While
Playing Hide and Seek"

Henderson, KY, June 25.-Intelligence of
a distressing casulty comes from the vi
cinity of Bordley, Union county. Yester-
day afternoon Laura and Jennie. aged Z
and years. respectively, daughters of
Joseph and Lucy Melton, were playing
hide and seek with three other young
girls of the neighborhoOd. and during the
pastime the little sisters had entered the
cellar. Seeing a large and lOng-used old
fashioned trunk in one corner they raised
the lid and jumped inside when the top
fell and closed with a tight spring-lock.
Two of their pIaymates had hidden be
meath a bed in an upper room. The re-
naming tot, who was acting as spy, soon
found the bedroom girls, but all search for
Laura and Jennie proved fruitless, as
they had completely overlooked the cell
lar trunk. At the time both parents were
visiting at a neighbor's, and did not re-
turn until their children had been i'm
INJURED for three hours. When they learn
ed of their sudden disappearance a rigid
search was Immediately instituted, but
almost another hour elapsed before the
father thought of the old trunk, and
when at length the grim receptacle was
opened both children were found locked
in each others arms, having been smoth-
cred for want of air.

FOUND A GIRLS CORPSE.
Strange Discovery by an Indian Div
sr Off the Alaskan Coast.

6f III the Alaskan coast.
Victoria, B. G., June 25.-CharIes ].
Stewart, a trader at the missionary sta
ton at Hoonah bay, Alaska, who is in the
city. brings a strange story from that
desolate region. Sunk in a cradle of Man
O. War rocks, first having been dashed
by breakers on the reef, is the disman-
tied hull of a schooner yacht, possibly of
sixty tons burden. The yacht is just
astern of the old Russian exploring ship
VdasnilS, whose loss was recorded in 1880.
Both vessels occupy the same cradle, the
reef forming a ridge on each side to pro-
tect the vessels lying in the hollow be-
tween the heavy seas in the straits.
$50 true and perfect is this protection"
Mr.. Stewart said, that the hull and
even the topgallant masts of the Vdasnik
have for more than 100 years past lain at
the bottom of the reef.
Indian divers of the Hoonah and Kills
moo tribes, in their yearly searching for
treasures aboard the Russian man O. war
on the April spring tides, went down into
the hull of the man O. war April 10. their
intention being to pass line about one
of the guns of the starboard battery,
this to be followed by another and anoth-
er until the tide had fairly ebbed and the
whole lifting power of the big raft the
divers had could be exerted to haul up
the gun that they expected to raft ashore.
1.-The diver, however, was down but a
moment. Hardly had he reached the
bottom and return when his head bobbed
above the surface with a cry that anoth-
er vessel had joined the vdasnik; that a
yacht was lying astern of the old man-of-
war, dismasted. but in the same cradle of
the reef.
The next man sent down remained
fully a minute. AS he came on top he
gasped cut to those on the raft that there
was a body of a woman floating about in
the cabin of the yacht.
''He described the body as that of
girl or woman between IS and II years of
age. weu dressed. with beautiful hair and
features well preserved.
Where the yacht hailed from who
the people aboard were is a question
distressing those knowing of the discov-
cry. It was considered best that know
ledge of the wreck be kept from publi-
cation at the time, those knowing of it
believing that some notice of the yachts 8
disappearance would be made. Nothing,
however, has appeared in print. and I
now feel it my duty to make the matter
public

FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT.
Santa Fe 90. Brings Suit Against the
Texas Brewing Co.

Fort Worth, Tex, June 25.-A suit in
volving a large amount was filed here
today by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa
Fe Railway company against the Texas
Brewing company, for alleged breach Of
contract. The petition alleges that on
June 1, 1893 the railway company leased
the brewing company block of ground
at nominal rent to afford the brewing
company better shipping facilities, the
defendants agreeing to furnish the
plaintiffs all the hot waste water need
ed for use on plaintiff engines, 5000
gallons daily, more or less, and pay 81
per year rent for 20 years; that on Sep
tember 1. 1885, defendants stopped sup
plying the water and at large expense
the plaintiffs had to get water else
where; that the reaSOna bic value OF the
water to the plaintiffs was eco a year,
and judgment is asked for $56,000 and
the cancellation of the contract, because
it had been violated by the defendants.
An additional prayer recites that the
leased land has been improved by the
defendants, the building being worth
about $40, O,0o0; that under the contract
these are, at the termination of the con-
tract, to become the property of the
plaintiffs, and If it is held that the rail-
way company has suffered no damage
from being deprived of the water, it
asks for judgment for $500 per month
rent from June 1, 1898, to the termina-
tion of the contract.

PROTECTION FOR FARMERS.
Senate Republican Caucus Decides on
Duty on Hides.

Senate Republican Caucus Decides on
a Duty on Hides.
Washington, June 25.-The Republican
senators decided in caucus last night by
a vote of % to IL to sustain the action of
the finance committee in placing a duty
upon hides. But did not pass upon the
question of the amount of the duty i'm
posed. The committee was also sustained
in the rate fixed upon imported wrapper
tobacco.
The only other disputed question con-
sidered were watches and watch jewels.
and upon these the finance committee was
reversed, the house rates being accepted
on watches. and watch jewels being
made free.
The caucus was held in the marble
room of the senate and was well attend
ed.
The discussion was spirited at times.
Senator Lodge led the contest against
the action of the finance committee in TAX
ing hides from the free list and was sec
onded by Senators Hoar, Platt, Spooner
and others, while Senators Nelson, Alli-
son, Warren and Gear spoke for the duty.
Mr.. Lodge contended that the duty, if
imposed, would not be of any consequence
as a revenue item. And that it would
add nothing to the farmers return on his
cattle, while it would have the effect of
8feaLly In0 OF leather
manufacture, which had grown to i'm
mense proportions under the system of
free hides. He said that the exports of
leather goods amounted to $40, coo, 600 per
annum and asserted that if a stiff duty
should be imposed the industry would be
greatly checked. In reply the western
senators claimed a direct benefit to the
farmer from the duty and asserted that
he was as much entitled to the protection
it would give as were the manufacturers
to the assistance they would receive from
other duties. The vote was the gen
eraI proposition to impose duty with
out regard to rates. The fixing of these.
it was understood should be left to the
finance committee but the expressions
were so general in favor of ad valorem
rates rather than the specific system that
the committee will feel itself instructed
to substitute this system for the IL
cents pound rate originally agreed upon.
There was also general expression against
any increase upon Indian tanned goat
and sheep skins, which the manufactur-
ers regard a substantial victory.
There was only one vote raised in op-
position to the proposition to adopt the
house schedule on watches. The finance
committee flxed a uniform rate of 40 per
cent on watches, while the house provid-
ed a compound duty. 1t is to this COM
pound duty that the senate returns. The
question of reciprocity, the Hawaiian su-
gar, beer, tea and internal revenue wers
not discussed.

SOFIA deep, mellow and well
drained soil is necessary. Good
groves can be made on quite sandy
land if attention is paid to fertiliza-
ton and the growing of nitrogen
gathering crops. Soils poor in lime
produce fruits with little aroma and
thick parings, therefore, on such
soils lime should be used. Spread
mineral fertilizers broadcast at the
beginning of the rainy season and
cover lightly. For young and well fer
tilted plantations, beans, corn, etc,
may be planted between rows.
FERTIL1ZATION.-Do not apply
fresh manure. Good compost is pre-
ferred If the growth of wood is poor
and the leaves yellow, Chilli saltpetre
may be spread after the rainy season.
