Key West, Fla, June 15.-The pris-
oner captured in the steamer Twicken-
ham gives the name Of Jamie Fernieres.
and says he is the first officer OF the
Spanish hospital ship Alicante. Con-
fiicting stories are told concerning the
Spaniard's presence on board the
Twickenham, and there is a strong
suspicion that he is a more important
capture than superficial circumstances
might indicate.
Recently the Twickenham was at
Martinique, where the Spanish hospital
ship Alicante. under command of Cap
tain Antony GEMS. has been lying for
some time, n there was a report that
the Alicante and other ships of the
enemy had been securing coal from the
Twickenham.
Ensign Payne, who brought the
steamer In, says II was not until the
ship was bound for Key West that the
mysterious Spaniards were discovered
slowed In the hold.

ISOLATION Of Newton
Having a Membership of Over
1000 Railroad Men

Santa Fe Denied Institution It's
Moral Support.
Engineer sDad'' Rust Relates
His Experience.

At the end Of % years, during which
time he has contributed for accident in
surance on an average of $55 a year,
Engineer H. G. Rust of the Santa Fe,
now disabled for work by an injury
finds that he is absolutely without pro-
lection because of the failure of the
company he was insured in.
Engineer Rust was injured by falling
and severely Straining his knee on Kan
sas avenue two months ago. few
days ago, when he commenced to feel
that he would soon be able to take his
engine again, he thought it time to look
after the payment Of his accident in
surance. Accordingly he sat down and
wrote a letter asking for the necessary
blanks for claim.
Il just mentioned in the letter. he
remarked to his wife as he closed the
envelope, that I have paid out about
$1,000 for accident insurance in the last
rs years and have been so fortunate as
never to draw cent in return
The letter was to the Railway En-
plOyeS' Accident association of Newton.
The second day he received a letter
from the secretary OF the company
which read:
Dear Dad:-I am sorry to have to
tell you that the company has gone to
the wall. The men would forget and
let their premiums lapse and as re-
suit our receipts would not keep even
with our expenditures. Consequently
we had to quietly close our books and
quit"
The Railway Employees Accident as
ISOLATION of Newton was organized
something over year ago at the time
the regular accident insurance compa-
MES combined and raised the rates on
accident insurance. It's organization
was with a view of giving Kansas rail-
road men protection in case of acct
dent at a minimum cost, and Engineer
r. S. 1Teers of Newton was elected pres
ident. Before it was in existence over
six months it had a membership of al
most 600 Kansas railroad men.
But the Santa Fe company refused to
have any faith in the scheme and de-
MED the company its moral support,
and the men who had been in the habit
OF having the company attend to the
payment of its accident insurance prem
iums kept forgetting after entering the
new company that such matter was
thereafter their individual affair, and
the premiums did not come in with any
regularity. On the other hand the COM
pany paid its claims promptly, and it
finally simply became a matter of de-
f1ciency in receipts. There was moth
ing left for the officers to do but to let
the company glide out of existence.
This has been done, and there are
now about 1000 railroad men in Kansas
who are without protection in the event
of accident. Probably the most sor-
rowful in the entire thousand is Engi-
neer Rust.

INDIAN MOUNDS OPENED.
Interesting Relics on the Farm Once
Owned by George Washington.

Wheeling. w. Va, Oct. 24-Interest-
ing examinations of Indian mounds
have been made in the Washington
woods below Ravenswood, W. Va, re-
Gently purchased by West Virginian
capitalists from the descendants Of
George Washington.
The tract contains about 1900 acres
of land, densely wooded, and until now
had not been disturbed since 1t passed
into the possession of General Washing
ton, when he was quite a young man.
DR.. William Hale, representing sew
eral historical and scientific societies,
made the investigations. He opened six
of the mounds and found in them the
badly decayed remnants of skeletons.
He was unable to save most Of them,
but finally found two that are in a fair
state of preservation.
The bones indicate the bodies were
those of Indians of very small stature
The formation of the skull is proof of
the low degree Of intelligence of the
men buried there DR.. Hale also found
fine agate flint arrow heads and battle
axes, and he thinks they came from the
Rocky Mountains.

A SORROWFUL TALE.
How a Revenue Stamp Kept Two
Loving Hearts Apart.

Another charge is laid to the door of the
revenue stamp. One Of them has almost
broken the heart of a Topeka girl.
A few weeks ago the girl and her young
man, who lives in another town, had a
quarrel, as lovers often do, which resulted
in the girl sending back the ring she had
received from the young man. After that
the girls heart was very sad, but she
wouldn't give in-not much. In a few
weeks the young man relented and wrote
to the girl saying he was very sorry and
would never do it again, and he said if
she would write to him Immediately he
would consider himself forgiven. The
same afternoon a letter was posted by the
girl, and it was addressed to the young
man.
After that there was a long wait. Day
after day the girl watched for the post
man. but he brought no answer from the
young man until yesterday. when he gave
her a square envelope. She looked at it
eagerly, but her hopes fell. 1t was the
same letter she had sent to the young man
in such a hurry, and in her haste she had
put a revenue stamp on it.
