LOBSTERS DI0 FOR WATER.
In Australia They DispeI Droughts
and RepIenish Streams.

The greatest enemy Australian SQUAT
ters have to contend against is drought.
This is sometimes accompanied by a
most extraordinary development. Creeks
that have long been dry begin to flow;
springs that have not welled forth for
months. even years bubble with grate-
ful and plentiful streams; water holes
fill lagoons are replenished. How
valuable this sudden acquisition of
water is can be imagined. Stock that
have had TO dig deep In creek sands
fii,d the streams flowing anew.
During the great drought of 1866 this
remarkable phenomenon attracted at
tention, and since then, i'm 1884. 1883 and
more recently i'm 1S97--also drought year
when outbursts occurred at Bathurst.
Orange and many places between these
towns and Albury on the border.
Many explanations have been adj
vanced; among others, earthquake
shocks, barometic changes, etc. The
most curious, however. is the following:
In every running creek in the colony
there are to be found numbers of fresh
water Holsters. IL these fail to find
moisture when the water recedes. they
perish. Instinctively they burrow into
the ground, following TO great depths
of sunken water 1t is, therefore. noth-
ing surprising IL these animals In fol-
lowing the water TO greater depths than
usual-consequent on the prevailing
drought--pierce through some soft clay
covering OF a hidden spring, and thus
bring about, TO mans delight, flow

IRELAND CLAIMS SAMPSON.
A Correspondent Says the Admiral
Was Born In County Limerick.

My attention having been drawn to a
few different accounts n English and
Irish papers with regard to the birth
place of the above named distinguished
Admiral, who Is now playing such a
conspicuous part in the Spanish Amer
lean war. some claiming him as Scotch.
others as an Englishman, ETC., 1t will
no doubt, interest your readers to learn
that the gallant Irishman first saw the
light almost under the shadow of the
Moore Abbey (now In ruins). just out
side the village of Galbally, county
Limerick, and close to the confines of
the Glen OF Aherlow. which latter glen
Is celebrated from not alone historic
point OF view, but also on cccount OF
it's magnificent scenery, and the fact
that the glen has given birth to more
distinguished athletes than any part of
ireland. In fact, almost every second
young man you meet i'm Aherlow Is, as
a matter of course, an athelete.
Admiral SIMPSONS father was a
blacksmith at the place above mention,
ed. and at the present day traces Of the
forge are to be seen where his brawny'
arm welded the hammer. He emigrated
70 the land OF the Stars and Stripes to
better his fortune while his son. the
Admiral, was "a mere child. The first of
the Sampsons who came to this coun-
try was Colonel in Cromwells army,
which Colonel got married TO a daugh-
ter OF Sir John CantwelkNpea the above
mentioned Abbey. and after settling
down in Ireland became more Irish
than the Irish themselves" The above
Cola Sampson was, therefore, an ances-
tor of the Admiral, and OF the Admir-
ais numerous cousins who are now liv-
ing I'm and around the neighborhood,
among whom / might mention i'r. ST.
mon Sampson of Carrickaroche, and
Michael Sampson OF Michelstowndown
near Knocklong. both the latter persons
being respectable and well-to-do farm
ers. Hoping the above information may
prove interesting and set the matter at
rest (Which information. might men,
tion, I have from the lips OF near rel
ative of Admiral Sampson), and apollo
giving for trespassing so much on your
valuable space.-Cork Examiner.

DEATH ENDED HATE.


Two desperate colored men died at
the penitentiary within few hours of
each other. Strange as 1t may seem
they were both In the consumptive
ward of the hospital and they hated
each other with all the intensity imag
Unable. In fact, they fguratively died
cursing each other and shaking their
fists at each other. and. had they had
the necessary strength. would have
been fighting. They had the nurse
place their heads one TO the east and
the other to the west SO they could eye
each other and shake their fists at and
in a whisper curse each other. The
men were George Jones, received at the
penitentiary on November 3, 1891, from
Crawford county, to serve life SEN
tence for murder In the second degree,
and Neal Drayton. received on July IL,
1897. from Florida, TO serve three years
for perjury.
Drayton attempted suicide a few
hours before he died. and IL is believed
that IL was the result OF his antipathy
10 Jones One of the prisoners was
requested to give him knife for the
purpose OF cleaning his nails. As soon
as the knife was received he COM
menCeu saw atToSS MS nttkft bul ~
happened that the blade was too dull
to do much execution. AS soon as the
nurse saw what was going on the knife
was taken from him, and he died a
few hours afterward.
Jones was regarded as the worst man
OF the two and has been menace To
the prison officials ever since he was
received at the prison. He is the man
who attacked Guard r.. q. Gump with
a long knife on December 3. 1892, in the
enamel shop. and was shot by that
officer OF the prison. Guard Gump en-
tered the shop and was Knocked down
by Jones with an iron kettle. and he
tried TO beat his brains out. Gump
raised on his elbow and whipping out
his revolver fired. the ball taking effect
in the side OF Jones Jones never for
gave Gump for the shot and made
many threats that he would kill him.
Al one time he induced William Nc
Keon. n five-year man from Clermont
county. TO make him "A knife from
file, and the plan was 10 kill Gump at
chapel service one Sunday. The knife
was TO be given to Jones as they passed
the cell OF McI<eon TO chapel service
but the plan miscarried and Jones was
punished.
Drayton was convicted OF perjury In
connection with securing n pension but
he was convicted before the pension
was secured for the friend for whom
ne committed the crime.-Columbu

could be heard in the building occupied
by Mrs. Ryan The man thought that
the sounds were being caused by rats
and added that the rats must be getting
especially bold. The officer going TO the

sounds were other than what could be
made by rats, however, large.
He quickly went TO Market square
where he secured lantern and return

Wolff prepared to Investigate the noise
and both went TO rear gate where
they expected TO gain an entrance.They

in height After getting in the yard the
officers mounted an old staircase and
went 10 the unoccupied second floor OF
the building and going through dilap-
idated doorway discovered man at
work cutting hole in the floor through
to the store of Mr.. Ryan.
The officers pounced upon him al
though he saw them and endeavored
to hide behind some old cases.
He was dragged forth and taken to
the station where he was locked UP and
the officers secured the premises for
possible confederates, but found none.
The mans name Is not made known

MEMORIAL SERVICE.

was particularly beautiful, and in per-
feet keeping with the solemnity of the
occasion.
The memorial sermon, preached by
DIR. Fiske, was prefaced by an address
written by Bishop Clarke, in which the
venerable head OF the diocese spoke of
his very high respect and esteem for
the dead clergyman. and expressed his
regret at not being able to take part IN
the service.
DR.. Fiske's discourse was eulogy
of the late Rev. Mr.. Webster, from the
cradle TO the grave In the watery deep.
His life, from the time OF his birth In
October. 1854, was vividly- depleted,
stress being laid upon his life AZ a
school boy and later as student at
Brown University. where he was the
valedictorian of his class. He studied
law and gave promise OF brilliant ca
reer when he turned his thoughts to a
religious life. In 1871 he Joined the
Methodist Episcopal church and later
became one OF it's ablest exhorters.
He frequently attended st. Stephens
church, and finally realized that his
convictions drew him to the Episcopal
church. He, studied for the priesthood
in New York, and was admitted to the
South Carolina. Then he served his dia-
conate In Providence. later became as
sistant curate at st. stephens, and a
very few months ago was admitted to
the priesthood. celebrating his first. last
and only communion in st. stephens

HAD A WOODEN LEO.
Lost Limb by Accident, But Was
Accepted for Service.

In striking contrast with the rigid
physical examination OF recruits Tor the
present volunteer army was the lax
methods that prevailed during the civil
war after It had been I'm operation two
years Many people will doubt the state
ment that an examining surgeon would
pass a man with n wooden leg as phy-
sically qualified for a soldier But such
is a fact. and the man served the fuii
term OF enlistment and was mustered
out as a n-commissioned officer.
The soldier was a member OF COM
pany l., Eleventh Ohio Volunteer cav
airy, and has number OF comrades
living here. Ills name is G. A. Guider,
and he now lives near McGuny, Hardin
County, Ohio, where he owns and oper-
ates a saw mill. In November 1861, MS
foot was crushed in an accident and
was amputated midway between the
knee and ankle. On July %. 1868, he en-
listed, as stated above. and was dis-
charged with the regiment iyly II.
1866, at Fort Leavenworth, Kan. After
Guider had been with the regiment sew
eral months it came to the ears or Dr.
Underhill, regimentai surgeon, that
member OF Company L. had a wooden
leg. and he offered him a discharge for
disability This Guider refused. He said
that he enlisted to serve the country,
and he proposed to stay with the boys
until ne was killed or disabled in the
service. The surgeon did not force
discharge upon him. and he proved to
be one of the very best soldiers In the
regiment.
A few years ago he applied for PEN
sion under the law of 1890. The disabil-
ity he claimed was the loss of foot by
an accident in 1861. His papers were re-
turned from the department for cor
rection, as il seemed impossible for a
soldier to have lost limb prior to his
enlistment. To set the matter straight
required a great deal of testimony and
many affidavits, and he was finally al
lowed $12. the maximum under the law.
This is probably the only instance on
record where q man with wooden leg
was accepted as a private soldier.--Cin-
cinnati Enquirer.
