preston of the man who almost in the
same instant was dead. Hardly was the
cap adjusted when the trap dropped with
tense silence. The body dropped, there
was the sound of the Juggling of the rope

body, and that was ALL A vibration or

til that moment, then his head fell for
ward upon the shoulders of young Smythe,
Deuprey's clerk, and he buried his face,

sight of men.
The doctors gathered about the sus-
pended body. listened for the respiration
and watched the pulse. In just eleven
minutes and twenty Eight seconds all ac-

was ended.
The physicians detected no respiration
after the drop. During the first second

during the seventh second 3G to 60 and
in the tenth second 80.
The body with the cap on was placed
in black pine box. Later the cap was
removed and the corpse enclosed in a
casket provided by the family.
Mrs. Durrant did not witness the exc

EXPEDITION LANDED.
DR.. Castillo Returns from a FilibuS-

of Cuba.

New York, Jan. S.-Dr. Joaquin Castil-
10, one of the leaders of the Cuban junta,
and who is said to have been connected
with several flibustering expeditions, re-
turned here today on the Ward line steam
er Niagara, after a successful incursion
into Cuba. DR.. Castillo refused to say
on what ship he reached Cuba, but said
that he landed nine miles east of Manali
bay, on November 1 last, after being
fired upon by the Spanish fort.
In our party" said DIR. Castillo, was
Justo Garcia. a son of Gen. Garcia, who
had escaped from the Spanish penal colo
ny at Ceuta, off Africa. After we had
landed we were joined by Col Garcia,
eldest son of the general. who had with
him 800 insurgents.
THE insurgents are well fed. well
armed and supplied with plenty of ammu-
milton. The troops are disciplined and

SOME FACTS ABOUT SLEEP.

fants' Long Slunbers.


The position during sleep is responsible
for health. Inflammation of the right
lung is more common than of the left,
right side. One should change his po-
sltion while asleep. The best possible
position III which to sleep is face down
ward, as do the animals.
During the first weeks of life an infant
should be awake two hours day at
least; between l and years, the wax
ing hours should number six or eight;
between and ;, from seven to nine; be-
tween y and 4, from eight to ten between
4 and 8, from nine to eleven; between 6
and 8, from twelve to fourteen; between
8 and Ii, from fourteen to sixteen wax

perlments have shown that swinging for
a quarter of an hour produces in adults
a perceptible lowering of the tempera ture.-
It is worth recalling that Jeremy Tay-
lor allowed but three hours out of the
twentyfour for sleep; Baxter, four; Wes-
ley, six; Lord Coke and Sir William
Jones, seven. 1t is said that Bismarck
and Gladstone, now that they have
reached an advanced age, both sleep
eight hours; lola sleeps only seven hours.
Many great men, such as Goethe, Mira

Ell even less time to sleep. Kant, who
only slept seven hours during the greater

SUSPICION ON DURRANT.
How the Police Weaved the Entangling
Web.

San Francisco, Cal, Jan. 7.-Suspicion
pointed to Durrant from the first. 70
begin with, Mrs. Noble, the aunt of
Blanche Lamont, had taken an intuitive
dislike to him. and. she being unable to
wholly conceal this from the neighbors
who came in to inquire about the girls
absence, the young mans name quickly
became generally mentioned in connec
ton with the case. Mrs. Mobiles suspi-
cions were heightened by the persistence
with which Durrant kept coming TO the
house during the week preceding the find
ing of the body. He offered to aid IN the
search and also cunningly insinuated that
perhaps the girl might be found in some
evil resort-a statement which, coming
from such professed churchman, Mrs.
Noble regarded as peculiar, to say the
least.
These reports and others reached the
ears of the police, and while they were
without the slightest evidence with which
to directly connect him with the murders
they decided to brave consequences and
arrest him on suspicion. The detectives
assigned to the case found that Durrant
had gone with the company of state
militia of which he was a member to
Mount Diablo for drill. Heliograph sig
mails were snnt to tho mountain and Dur

A GRAIN BLOCKADE.
Not Enough Vessels at Galveston
to Handle Wheat-Only Nine
Steamers There.

Galveston, Tex, Jan. S.--The grain
situation here is serious. There are 400
grain-laden cars on the wharvcs and 1000
rcore in the yards. Elevators A and B
are filed. There were seventy steamers
in port on November 1, but there are only
nine here today and nearly all Of them
are loaded. Vessels which are to take
100000 bushels are expected to arrive
here by next Monday. The weather has
been bad for some time and that probably
causes the detention of vessels now over
due.
J. Remershofers G Sons eased the stu
alton somewhat by announcing that their
elevator would be open today. This Gle
vator has 100000 bushels capacity. If
the weather clears and vessels begin COM
ing in the situation will probably be re-

FOOD IN TINS.
Precautions Necessary to Avert Dangers
of Poison.

Oh fOIsons
It cannot be doubted that certain foods
preserved in tins afford an auxiliary and
convenient source of food supply which.
cannot we'll be dispensed with, and, that
being so, any suggestion calculated to in
sure the wholesomeness of the food so
preserved is entitled to every considera-
ton We do not believe that the mis-
chief that now and again arises from
the consumption of timed food is re-
ferrable to the presence of the metal
Tin is a comparatively harmless metal,
while the iron over which it is veneered
is quite free from risk. The lead in
the solder employed may, however, give
rise to poisoning, but we believe that
SO well is the sealing process done that
cases of this kind are rare. The dan
gers of timed food generally arise from
an inherent change in the food itself,
and there is no doubt that the longer
the food is preserved the greater is the
chance of its being unwholesome, WHILE.
as is well known, as soon as the foods
thus preserved is exposed to the air Ger
tain changes rapidly set in and for this
reason the food should be partaken of
as soon as possible after the tin is opend.
DR.. Sykes, the medical officer of health,
of St. Pancras, makes what would ap-
pear to be a useful and practical sugges-
ton IN his annual report, which is that
the law should provide that all tins con-
tanning timed food shall have stamped
upon them the date of timing. Assum-
ing that the correct date of timing were
thus stamped upon the TIM the publicl
would be able to Judge in some measure
of the wholesomeness of the contents,
since it is reasona BILE to suppose that the
enclosed food would not improve on pro-
longed keeping. We trust that the sug-
gestion will be brought before the notice
and consideration of the proper author

member of the Cuban junta last night.
For some weeks the Spaniards in
Washington have been remarkably active

and the agents of the Spanish minister.

States of protectorate over Cuba, and
