NO MINES IN HAVANA HARBoR.
So Declares Diplomat Du Bose from Hi
Personal knowledge.

Personal knowledge.
Washington. Feb. 26.-In view Of the
widely published report that the harbor
of Havana contains a system of sub
marine mines. a statement around
which has centered much public inter-
est in connection with the disaster to
the battleship Maine. Senor Du Bose,
Spanish charge d'affaires at Washing
ton. last night made the following
statements which, coming from such
authority. may be considered as an Of
fetal denial: e
Il wish TO state on my own official
knowledge. that no mine exists inside
or outside Of Havana harbor; nor is
there any submarine defense of any
kind. The report is so absolutely false
and ridiculous that 1t could only have
originated in the minds Of those per-
sons anxious TO incite the evil passions
Of both nations for their own miserable
ends. I consider the very suggestion OF
such a thing an insult to Spain"

Why Proctor 10 Going 10 Havana

Key West. Fla. Feb. 2S.-Among the
passengers yesterday for Havana by
the Mascotte was Senator Proctor, of
Vermont Before sailing he was shown
a dispatch published here saying that
there is considerable excitement at Ha-
vana over his expected visit. Senator
Proctor iauyhingly replied: ITO tell the
the truth We are just going over there
to see what's going on; to be where the
excitement is. Doesn't everybody want
to 60 there? Don't you? There is not
a hit Of political significance about it.
I may stay in Havana a day OF a week.

ANOTHER HOLD-Up.
Fine Work Performed on a Young
 Man on Seventh Avenue.

Sterling Patterson, young man employed at Talbot & Hubbard's, was held up on North Seventh avenue on Friday night. He was on his way home on a wheel about g o'clock and just turned off Washington street. The dust is desp along that part of the street and he was riding slowly. Though there is an electric light at the corner of the street he had just left, the roadway is obscured by heavy cottcnwoods along the north side. Pat terson dimly saw a man or rather a shadow ahead of him. As he came up the man seized the wheel with one hand and held in the other a gun big ger than any that Patterson supposed were being manufactured now Get of, hold up your hands and there won't be any trouble,'' said the robber. Pat terson did not believe the robber knew what the word trouble" meant, for there was nothing but trouble in sight. Anyway he got off without en- tering into pathological argument with the fcotpad. who proved himself to be an expert in robbery if he didn't know the dictionary and was in the habit of using words too big for him. He went through Patterson's pockets almost as swiftly as if he were merely passing his hands over him. He missed the only pocket in which Patterson had anything, an upper vest pocket, which, by the way, is a curious and un- expected place to carry money in. But he had three or four small silver pieces in that pocket The robber betrayed no disappointment at the waterhaul. He only said: You ain't got nothin'. You may go." Without waiting for Patterson to mount his wheel he him. self turned leisurely to the side of the road and walked away in the shadow of the tree. Patterson had been held up twice before in California. While he has not been able to cultivate lik- ing for that kind of excitement, he says his experience has taught him to recognize true art and skill. The last man that held him up was an artist.

LoGANsPORT HAS DISEASE.
All Water Pipes Are Being Eaten
 Away By Electrolysis.

Loganspcrt, Ind, Oct 15.-In exca- vating for r5pairs of the natural gas mains City Engineer Osmer discovered that the iron pipes are undergoing chemical decomposition by electrolysis. caused by the electric current passing along the street car rails and escaping at the joints.
 Fer several years honeycombed pipes have caused the city much annoyance. and the trouble was attributed to an inferior quality of piping Engineer Osmer was in Daytcn, O., last week and the work of eastern experts ther3 caused him to start an investigation here. He finds that nearly 70 per cent of the current is passing along the pipss by raason of the method Of con meeting the joints of the street railway tracks by wire which is exposed to the earth.
 Some of the pipes are affected which have not been under ground threa years, and a piece several feet in length was taken out which resembled an old rusty piece of iron eaten full of holes.
 The principal danger lies with the iron water pipes, which are liable to burst under pressure in time of fire.
 Manager Skinner of the Central Union Telephone company here de- nounces the idea as being without any foundation, declaring that the electric ity cannot reach the mains.

 Two more important witnesses could not have been discovered, T. Reddy and James Johnson, whose names ap- pear on the will with that of M. La velle, the third witness and the writer of the will.
 When the will was discovered the whereabouts of Reddy and Johnson could not be learned. The latter was believed to be somewhere in Mexico, and the former was believed to be dead. There were two Reddys with the same initial, Tom and Tim. It was subsequently learned that Tom Reddy was dead, but that Tim was alive and at Randsburg, Cal. There was a dis pute between the parties as to which of the Reddys was the witness. The contestants claimed that it was the dead one. Tim Reddy, who is now in the city, says he is the witness.
 Johnson has been located in Cali fornia and the attorneys for young Roarke say they can bring him against the date of the hearing.

West Virginia News.

The trial of Col. Robert W. East
ham, at Parsons, for killing Frank
Thompson cost the State Of West Vir-
ginis nearly $1,000.
1t is said that President Mckinley
has promised to visit Morgantown and
make an address at the West Virginia
University some time in the next few
months.
The largest delinquent list of real
estate in West Virginia was returned
from Cabell county, and the sheriff
has been engaged in selling farms and
town lots there for several weeks.
Milt Purser, of Wayne county,
found John Alleys arm lying on the
back of his wife's chair. He had a
Ratchet in his hand, which he used
with such good effect that the offend
ing member will have to be amputa-
ted.
Luther Orndorff and William Mil
Ter were returning from Wardensville,
Hampshire county, to Romney when a
drove of deer swoOped down the noun
tain and crossed their path. There
were fifteen in the herd. Since the
passage of the law prohibiting the
killing of deer in West Virginia until
1901 they have become very numer-
GUS, and farmers are compelled to keep
everything under cover because Of their
forsges.

United Daughters of the COnfederacy.


Last Friday was the anniversary Of
the birthday Of General Stonewall
Jackson, and the occasion was becOm-
ingly observed in Shepherstown. Ser
vices, arranged by the local chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confeder-
acy, were held in the Presbyterian
Church. There was good attendance,
including the chapter and the camp of
Confederate veterans. The chief ad-
dress was delivered by Rev. DR..
Charles Ghiselin, who spoke eloquently
of the life and character of the great
Confederate leader, and gave many in
teresting incidents in the public and
private life of Stonewall Jackson. Rev.
]. L. KILLER also made brief address
on the same subject. The service was
an impressive and enjoyable one.
The Martlnsburg Chapter of the
Daughters of the Confederacy has de-
cided to join the United Daughters of
the Confederacy. There are l25 mem
bers. A motion was made in the last
State convention to join in body, but
was defeated, and now any chapter
that desires to enter has to do it alone,
through the fundamentally Of the
charter chapter in the State, which is
Shepherdstown. 1t is likely that all
the chapters will join the United
Daughters.
