Electricity is becoming great
er factor in agriculture every
year. On the great sugar beet
farms of Germany, electricity
ploughing has become a common
thing. The majority of such farms
are already equipped with steam
engines; the addition of the gen.
Grating dynamos is easy, and
overhead wires or conductors laid
on the ground carry the current
to motors at distant points
from the common center. The
ploughs are operated by being
hauled by the motor wagon, and
several sets of apparatus can be
driven simultaneously from the
same central point. 1t is possible
with an electrical conductor of
1910 feet and ploughing rope of

Thousand Feet.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Jan. 49,
The brig Courtney Ford from Tahiti
brings an account of remarkable water
spout witnessed in the TROPICS on the voy-
age to this port. In longitude las and lat
itude Isl 4, on November %, at P. NJ,
a tremendous waterspout was observed
scarcely a mile from the vessel. During
the first five minutes it remained station
ary and reached an altitude OF over 1000
feet, ending in curious cumulous cloud.
Its base was several hundred feet in di-
ameter, and around it the sea was lashed
into caldron of white foam for q space
of several hundred yards in circumfer-
ence.
The wind from the southeast was blow
ing at the rate of about two miles an hour.
Slowly the spout moved away, though
it remained in plain view for over an
hour. Immediately afterward heavy
clouds darkened the horizon and an ex
ceedingly heavy downpour of rain fol
lowed. Two hour later the sky was
cleared as if by magic and the wind veered
TO the southwest. carrying the vessel fal
away from the locality. Captain Mcleod
filed report on the phenomenon with the
photographic Office.

DfS7jLLERiES nv A CAVERN.
Moonshie Plants Discovered BY Govern
ment Officials While Exploring
Ke1fucky Mountain.

DANVILLE, KY, Jan. 19.-James c..
Wilson of Harrodsburg, Deputy Internal
Revenue Collector, who was in Danvilie
last night to report 70 his chief, tells of an
important discovery made by him and
Deputy United States Marshals Tom Aus
tin and John Mullins.
On Crooked Creek In RockcastIe County
on last Friday night they entered what
they bad been told was small cavern in
the side of mountain to look for moon
shine distillery said TO be in operation
there. Having some trouble in finding
the alleged still the three pushed on and
suddenly fonnd themselves in a. i'm mense
underground passage. This they followed
through winding roads, sharp turns. mar
row passages and huge chambers for fully
mile and three-quarters, finding in that
distance two good-sized moonshine dis
tillery plants.
After destroying these the officers con-
cludcd to return and prepare for more
thorough investigation. Wilson feels posi-
tive long chain of underground distil-
lerIes is to be found there, as great deal
of moonshine whisky has been traced to
this neighborhood for years without the
Government agents being able to locate
the point OF manufacture.
The cave discovered is a wonder and
| will itself bear exploration. There are in
dications of its having been known to the
moonshiners for long time, AS they have
put long ladders in places difficult to as
cend or descend, and have widened mar
row passages by hewing out the solid
rock. The place is admirably adapted for
| the purpose of moonshining and the pro-
lection of outlaws, for there arc many
places where one man, armed with Win

II. Turner and Squire are free-silver Re-
publicans, Cation Democrat, Denny a
gold Republican and the others Populists.
Turner's vote was as expected, but
Squire's small showing was a surprise to
all. 1t is said he is holding many votes in
reserve TO spring at the proper time and
cause a stampede. Turner is hopeful. 1t
is generally believed that Daniels vote is
really Turner vote. Cline is regarded as
the strongest PopuIist.
The attempt TO secure a caucus to-
morrow night will not succeed. Fifty
seven votes are needed for a choice. The
present outlook is for protracted con-
test. Cline's friends believe he is the man.
The Squire men are not jubilant tonight,
though making many claims Of reserved

By Chance a Laboring Man
Rescues an Entombed
Companion.
While Shoveling Sand Into a
Wagon He Uncovers the
Unfortunate.
Had Missed His Fellow w Workman but
Knew Not That Gazing Earth
Had Buried Him.

SANTA CRUZ, CAL, Jan. 10. - For
nearly an hour yesterday Charles Dean of
Ben Lomond was entombed alive. W1thal
Charles Dean has abundant cause for
Thanksgiving, for had not shovel welded
by a ielow-workman pierced the earth
that covered him he would not now be re-
counting his awful experience. Il was
not that his rescuer knew that be was en-
tombed; the discovery was quite by acc;-
dent and came in the nature of surprise.
How Dean succeeded in brea thing when
covered by several feet of sand is a prob
lem which the people out at Ben Lomond
to day have not yet been able to solve.
Dean and James Smith were hauling
sand, and, while Smith drove the team
with the loaded wagon to the place of de-
post, Dean would remain at the sand
bank to prepare for another load. Smith
came back to the sandban on one trip
and found that Dean had cut down the
usual quantity from the bank, but was not
there TO help load the wagon. He pro-
ceeded with his work, expecting the re-
turn of his fellow-workman, but when the
wagon had been nearly filled and Dean
did not return Smith was about to con-
clude tnat he had quit his job. His
shovel suddenly struck something yield
ing, but immovable. The discovery fright
ened him, but the find was soon developed
and Dean was dragged out from the tenn
porary grave he had occupied for an hour,
with a broken leg.

slumber yesterday. She showed slight
indications of returning consciousness
Saturday night, and her doctor expected
the change that came yesterday morning
When some of the members of the family
went into the girls room after breakfast
they found her lying with her eyes open
and apparently conscious. When they
spoke to her she anowered by asking for
something to eat. Her voice was so weak
that her words were scarcely audible
After they had taken TO d to her the doc
tor arrived, and perceiving her extremely
weak condition. gave orders that she must
not be 81 oxen TO except when necessary.
Miss PittiIla told the doctor that she
thought she had just awakened from a
nights sleep. He told her she had been
very ill. "Whv, | have not been i'll, have
II" asked she. II have only been sleep
ing"
The doctor asked her If she remem bered
seeing him before, but she said she did
not remember anything. He did not
question her further, as she seemed to be

yesterday.
The peculiar illness of the young woman
and her long state of inconsistencies the
doctor attributes TO severe shock to her
nervous system. She became i'll eleven
days ago. and since then has lain uncon-

Collection

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. ia special to a
morning paper from st. Louis says: A
collection of books of the late General
w. L. Sherman was sold in st. Louis DUR
ing the last week for $50. 1t consisted of
about fifty volumes of army records, regi-
mental history, court martial records and
a general manuscript of war literature
The sale was made by Thomas Dooley, a
carpenter, who did WORK for General Sher-
man while the latter had his headquarters
in this city as the commander of the
United States army.
According to Dooley, General Sherman
gave him the books just before he left St.
Louis. The carpenter kept them unil he
moved a short time ago, when he packed
the library in four large boxes He then
sold the outfit to downtown book dealer
here for $50. On examination The book.
dealer found number of valuable pieces
of literature, and large proportion of the
books contained the autographs Of men of
renown.
There were testimonials from u. s..
Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes. Phil Sheri-
dan and others, besides any number of
books presented to General Sherman by
the authors. Many books. otherwise
worthless, were made valuable by the
autograph of the general himself a large

PERU MUST PAY THE CLAIM.
After Eleven Years the United States
Concludes 10 set q Consular
d6ent ant

NEW YORK. N. Y. Jan. ia Herald
special from Washington says: The ad-
ministration is determined that Peru shall
pay the claim for $200,0 growing out of
the outrage com mitted in 1885 upon W.
II. McCord, a consular agent of the
United States. A cablegram has Just
been sent 10 the United States Minister
in Lima, directing him to inform the
Peruvian Government that the case must
be settled without delay. A communca-
ton received from the Minister a few
days ago announced that Peru desired
time in which 10 investigate the facts in
the case. Secretary Olney at once ad-
vised Mr.. Mckenzie, the United States
Minister to Peru, that Peru had had more
than eleven years to conduct an investi-
CATION. and that this time was quite
enough.
The cruiser Philadelphia is now on her
way to Callao from Valparaiso. The
authorities say her presence in Peruvian
waters has nothing to do with the negotis-
tions concerning the McCord case, but
her arrival al Callao Immediately after
the presentation OF a strong note by
Mckenzie is expected to have q good
moral effect.
During the revolution in Peru in 1885
McCord, VINO was a railroad agent. was
ordered to place train OF cars at the dis
posal Of Peruvian officer for the purpose
OF transporting supplies along the line.
The order was com mplied with, but the
engineer gave up the engine to the rebels.
McCord was arrested and sentenced to
be shot. This sentence was com muted
and he was notified that he must pay a
fine of 10000 soles. The friends of McCord
raised the necessary amount and be was

The San Francisco call., 1897-01-20

last evening, Mr.. Briggs, who was one OF
a committee appointed at & recent meet
ing Of the club to confer with the officers
of the Olympic Gun Club for the purpose
of procuring their views relative 10 the
holding of a bench show in this City this
wear. said the directors OF the Olympic
Gun Club were strongly in favor OF a
show being held, and that if the Pacific
Kennel Club decided to join the gun cllb
ior that purpose each member must be
balloted for, as the gun club according to
it's laws, could not accept OF the Pacific
Kennel Club in body.
Mr.. Haight suggested that the funds OF
the club be given to some charitable IN
stitut1on as the members did not take
sufficient interest in its welfare to attend
any of the meetings.
Mr.. Bier, the president of the club,
thought that if q bench show committee
was formed the members who had evil
IDENTIFY gone to the dogs would manifest
an interest in the club and rally to its
support; but when he asked for the
names of the mem bers present who were
willing to serve on such a committee not
a sound was heard until the cracking OF
q match relieved the monotony.
Watson finally moved that the club
retire from the show business this year as
its watch dog Il ad died because of the lack
of nourishment and support, and that the
American Kennel Grub be so notified i'm
| mediately.
The motion was seconded and carried by
a unanimous vote, and then there was
general regret that the cid Pacific Kennel
Club had seen is best days.
Messrs. Bushnell and Haight were ap-
pointed o committee to notify the Olymp pic
Gun Club at meeting which will be held
this evening at 1909 Van Ness avenue, that
it would have the unanimous support OF
the Pac fic Kennel Club should it conclude
to give bench show In this City this
year.
Briggs, Brown, Bushnell. Haight and
Watson were appointed committee with
instructions to interview, personally. each
member of the Pacific Kennel Club and
procure his wish as to the disposal of the
money ($304), which is now in he clubs
treasury, and if the club shall continue to
remain on earth or disband, the committee
to report progress at the next monthly
meeting.
The president of the club, Mr.. Bier, is in
favor of holding the money on hand in
case the Pacific Kennel Club should de-
eide later on TO give show in 1898
that is, provided. of course, it will not
meet with any serious accident that may
curtail It's existence.
The Olympic Gun Club will dou ubtless
determine this evening what its pleasure
will be regarding the giving OF show on

much excitement. A crowd of excited de-
positors assem- bled in front of the bank,
cIamoring for an explanation. No one
was allowed in the institution.
The officials sent out word that the bank
was solvent, but had been forced to
close for lack of ready money. Depos-
itors, however, refused 10 be satisfied.
Ugly rumors found expression. The ex-
element grew still greater when it be-
came known that Comptroller Eckles and
q national bank examiner of Washington
were to be in Newport to-day. Their trip
was designed especially for the purpose OF
examining into the banks affairs. The
capital stock is $500, 900. John Trapp is

the assets would reach about $250,000 and

Freight Tariffs and Passenger Fares

Instead of building an extension from
Moiave TO Randsburg. the METROPOLIS of a
booming mining section, the Southern
Pacific has acquired rapid-transit stage
line, or made traffic arrangement with
one of the stage lines that have been
scalping the public down in that region
since the news first went forth to the
world that gold is to be found thereabouts.
The company's officials recently decided
to wait till greater age and greater perma-
nency to the volume of traffic descends on
Randsburg before recommending the ex-
tension of the railroad.
The distance from Mojave to Randsburg
is forty-two miles and the stage lines for
the transportation of passengers and
freight have had the fixing of rates in
their own hands. The rublic had to pay
irregular heavy fares or walk. 1t is said
that the net profits of several stage lines
have been greater than any gold mine in
the Randsburg district and would have
