ST. PETERsBuRG's WATER SUPPLY.
Company to Guard 1t to Prevent It's
Heing Poisoned.

Tampa, Fla, June IA company of the
Illinois Regiment of volunteers has been
detailed to guard the water supply of St
Petersburg. The company will guard the
lake furnishing the supply and the two
tanks connected with it.
1t is believed that the Spaniards who
have been noticed in that locality during
the latter part of last week contemplated
poisoning the water.
The security of the supply at this place
has also been closely inquired into but
when Gen. Coppinger learned that the
water works were built directly over a
spot where a subterranean stream issues
from the ground, he became satisfied that
there was no danger.

FIVE SPOT'S'LUCK
Fast Mail Engine Makes a KILL
ing Record
Knocks Seven Mules and a Horse
Dead in a Bunch.
REMAINS ON TRACK.
The GIVE Spot the Lightest
Santa Fe Locomotive.
Night Was Dark and Train Was
Making IS Miles Hourly.

When Engineer Ed Jolly left Kansas
City a little behind hand with the Fast
Mail Thursday night, he had no idea of
the narrow escape he and other occu-
pants of the train would have from be-
ing wrecked.
The train of two cars, a mail car and
a coach was behind hand and Engineer
Jolly pulled the throttle open as soon
as he had a clear track out of Holiday
and the train flew at a record break
ing speed w hen Lawrence was reach
ed he was Stiu some behind the Sche
dule time. A short stop of about
minute was made at Lawrence and"the
maip pulled out for Topeka. 1t was a
very dark night and nothing could be
seen except the stretch of track that
was Illuminated by the head light. The
small station at Lake View flew by like
flash, the train was going at the ter
rife rate of 65 miles an hour when sud-
denly Engineer Jolly and his fireman
were hOrrer stricken to see by the
glare of the headlight within a hundred
feet of the engine a bunch of horses
standing right in the center of the
track 1t was useless for Engineer JOl-
y to try to do anything but whistle
and before the whistle had blown a sec
horse and then the rest The fireman
and the engineer could feel the shock
as the engine struck each horse and
they could feel the animals being
ground to pieces under the engine and
could see them being hurled to the right
and left Expecting every minute to
have the engine go into the ditch and
the two cars after it the occupants of
the engine sat on their seats unable to
do anything but to wonder how soon it
would be before they went down. But
they did not go off the track and the
occupants of the coach probably did not
know now near they came to being in a
most disastrous wreck. 1t was found
that the engine had killed all of the
stock. Seven large mules and one
horse.
Disastrous wrecks have been caused
from an engine running over one horse.
Large, heavy ten wheel engines at that
with a heavy train but for engine No.
5, the Hghtest engine in this service,
eight wheels and weighing about 80
tons with d light train of two cars to
strike eight and not go into the ditch
is a miracle. The engine is known as
The Five Spot and makes the run
with the fast mail from Kansas City
TO Topeka with a schedule running time
of one hour and 80 minutes in charge of
Engineer Jolly. This is probably a rec
ord as no other engine Of the weight
has ever been known to strike eight
head of stock and get through without
leaving the track. The engine crew are
not at all anxious to experience such a
record brea king feat again.

Funny Incident at the Topeka Santa
Fe DepOt-Bride Kept Cool

rs this the train for NewtOn?'' asekd
a young man as he rushed up the plat
form at the Santa F'e depot followed by
Two young women He was carrying a
heavy travelling bag in each hand. His
face was beaming with joy and was
quite rosy from his eXertiOns of cover
ing ground with the heavy satcheIs. He
was informed that it was the train he
was looking for. He kept on until he
he had reached the steps of the smoker
where he set the satcheIs down and
stood ready to help the foremost young
lady aboard.
But 1 don't want to ride in the
smoker" she protested.
oh, YES, I forgot" and then he
why Henry, the next is the bag
gage car" cried the other young lady
while Henry blushed and stamrnared
and the crowd that was watching
laughed He finally found the chair car
and helped the young lady aboard and
as he was depOsiting the satcheIs be-
side her she exclaimed with a frighten-
ed look on her face:
Where is my trunk2''
oh, it's coming. III get it checked
and bring you the check
The young man rushed over to the
baggage room Got the trunk checked
and rushed back with the check to the
young lady in the car. All this time
the other young woman was standing
on the platform After he had given
the traveller the check he hurried back
to where the other young lady was.
L must take the first car back for
North Topeka so as to catch my train,''
he said.
Henry, won't you kiss me before you
go?" asked the young woman as she
turned her lips towards him.
He was awkward but he gave her a
kiss in a hurry and scrambled on the
street car. In a few minutes there was
row in the baggage room. A travel
ing man claimed the trunk that the
young lady in the car held check for.
1t was rather large for a young lady to
use as a travelling trunk. 1t was a load
for two men to lift onto the baggage
truck Then the young lady on the
platform had to straighten things out.
She explained that the young man
had come to Topeka to help the young
lady in the car. who was his sister-ir-
law, to transfer from the Union Pacific
to the Santa Fe- He had taken sud
den notion that he and the speak
er should be married while they were
waiting for the train and that he had to
hurry across the river to catch his train
home and was coming back for her as
soon as he broke the news to his father
Then the bride of but few hours let

BACILLI IN WINE.
Something of That Kind is Suggested
to Get Even With Germany.

Washington, Feb. 5.-When the cable
as to the prospective quarantine OF
American horses was shown to Chair
man Hit of the house foreign affairs
committee, he said this move was clear
" a part of the general movement to-
ward exclusion shown by recent action
against American fruit. His colleague
on the foreign affairs committee, Mr.
Adams, of Pennsylvania said the dis
patch suggested that it was time to dis
cover a bacillus in German wines, and
it would be desirable also to determine
as to the sanitary character of the pro-
cess of making German sugar sent to
the United States.
Dr. Salmon, chief of the bureau of
animal industry, said:
SO far as the department of agricul-
ture is aware, there is no influenza

The growth in the shipment of Amer
lean horses to Europe in the past four
years has been enormous. These ship
ments in 1897 aggregated in value $4,
765, 265, as against Sis, 607 in 1893. The
value of those sent to Germany in 1897
was 1872, 250, as compared with $79, $50 in
1898.

UNEMPLOYED AT x. C.
There Are $4,000 People Out of
Work in That Town.

Kansas City, Feb. Ed Silkwood,
member of the executive committee Of
the Retail Clerks union, estimates
that about 1900 persons in Kansas
City have no steady work upon which
to depend for their livelihood He
counts five to a family as the average
among Workingmen, which makes, ac-
cOrding to his estimate, 2,4O0 unem-
ployed heads of families. The estimate
includes both skilled and unskilled and
union and non union labor. Some not
employed at all and some only occas-
iOnalIy.
General John Hahn, organizer of
the Buildings Trades council, estimated
that As per cent of the WOrkmen at the
building trades, carpenters, painters,
bricklayers, stonemasons and others,
are out of work.
Harry L. Grafton, manager of the
mechanics bureau, said he could easily
figure up 200 union wOrkmen out of
work who frequently come to labor
headquarters. Most of them are"
he said, 'bricklayers and painters and
some StOnemaSOns.
The manager of one of the reliable
employment bureaus gave a clear idea
of what departments of work are over
crowded and how much by the answers
she had to advertisements. She ad-
vertiSed for a female StenOgrapher and
typewriter and got 76 answers in L
hours. Il could get 1000 stenographers
in a week. she said.
She would make a guess nearer than
between 2, 600 and 3, 900 of the young wO-
men who want positions as clerks, most
of them too proud to go into private
families as ''heIp,'' although at the
ges and must pay their own board.
Sixty-four answers was the number
received to an ''ad'' for two young lady
clerks to sell baking powder.

VICTORY FOR THE TRUST.
Nobody Else Will Be Allowed tc
Make Glucose From Corn.

e. Chicago, Feb. 5.-The glucose trust
will be strengthened by the opinion of
Judges Jenkins and ShowaIter in the
United States circuit court Of appeals
sustaining its patents.
The effect of the decision, if accepted
in other districts, will be to give the
glucose trust a monopoly of the man
ufacture of glucose syrups. At least,
the decision, being law in the circuit
court, composed of states Of Indiana,
Illinois and Wisconsin, will drive out
much competition. Heavy damages are
alleged in the bill filed and upon which
the patent is now sustained, $1,OOO,OOO
being the amount asked for.
The suit was brought by the Chicago
Sugar Refining company against the
Charles Pope Glucose company. The
decision of the court of appeals is a re-
versaI of the decision of Judge Gross
cup a year ago.
Judge Grosscup held that there was
no novelty in the patent. It was simp-
" the adaptation of an old process to
new purposes, and as such, not patenta-
BILE.
The process covered by the decision is
said to be the only one by which glu-
cose can be extracted from corn

FIGHT AMONG MlLLERS.
Pillsburys Are Pitted Against
Their Rivals in Business.

Chicago, Feb. 5-The Post today
says: Two gigantic rival milling COM
bines involving all the mill owners of
the central, western and northwestern
states are engaged in bitter war. The
adulteration of flour is the basis of at
tack and counter movement. One fac
ton includes the PiHsburys and the
powerful northwestern millers. The
other side embraces the big makers of
corn -four, with the Decatur Cereal Mill
company and the SheIlabarger Mill ana
Elevator company in the van.
The latter seek to defeat a bill in
troduced in congress, it is claimed, in
the interest of the northwestern mill
combine The bill before congress pro-
vides that adulterated bread shall be
wiped out by penalty and that tax for
internal revenue shall be placed on
blended flour made of wheat and corn.
For several days the agents of the
newly formed combine between the corn
flour millers have been gathering sig
natures to a petition to the board of
trade, praying congress to throttle the
BILL which was recently introduced in
the senate.
This petition recites that the bill
was framed in the interest of the north
western millers and that it would work
incaIculable harm to all the farmers of
the great corn belt
This struggle comes at a time when
the agitation against the adUIteration
of -four and black Bread is at it's
height. To make matters more inter
esting Joseph Letter is made the OBJ
iect of criticism by the representative
millers journal, the Weekly Northwest
ern Miller. for the part he plays in con-
trolling the supply of wheat. But in
terest now centers on the strife between
the two rival milling interests.
r. z. Pratt owner of the Decatur
Cereal Mill company is the leader of the
forces which propose to fight the bill
now pending in congress Mr.. Pratt
makes no secret of the campaign which
ne and the miIlers who have banded
with him are making. Indeed he does
not deny that there is a newly formed
combine to fight the northwestern mil
Iers B. a. Eckhart of Chicago. a
wholesale flour dealer, is preparing to
send a representative to Washington
to lobby for the bill and it is expected
the fight will become bitter.
Mr. Pratt says that as soon as it aD-
pears the bill is coming up in the senate
or the house for passage a large lobby
of corn -four milIers viii proceed to
Washington. The northwestern people
meanwhile also have a fighting force
in the field
