For 4 second or two l stood still;

dim impression that my lips were
pursed into a soundless whistle.

to kick or beat upon the panels. and

pains would have been taken to entrap
me.

at the far end of the passage. Instinct

ing of the biggest gun or the biggest clock O the biggest ship in the world.
Now n more item has been added to the overwhelming list Of creations of
unequaled proportions, and this time it is the biggest sailing schooner in the
world. The ship which has this distinction has been recently built and
launched at Camden, Me, and is known as the John B. Prescott. The Pres
colt Is a fve-masted schooner rugged craft, with the extraordinary length of
40 feet and a registered tonnage of $500. She has a carrying capacity of
1900 tons. She was built by the wel-known shipbunder, H. NJ. Bean, for
Captain Crowley, of Taunton, Mass. The huge dimensions of this new
schooner are shown in the accompanying illustration, in watch she is seen
to loom high over an insignificant tugboat of the ordinary size.

TRAGEDY NEAR LONDON.
A Farmer in a Passion Attacks His Neigh
bOrs With an AK

George McCourt, living near Trough
vile, Jefferson county, assaulted John
and Lewis Roehl, aged 10 and q, with
pitchfork and with an ak on Saturday
evening, infiicting probably fatal wounds
on both. McCourt was driving across
the Roehl farm where the boys were at
work, who told him he must keep out OF
the field, whereupon he jumped out OF
the wagon and struck one with his pitch
fork. Then he got the ak and struck the
other in the head. Then he went back
and struck the first with the ak on the
back of the head, cutting deep cash.
Another brother fed to the house.
The doctors have little hopes of their
recovery. One has not recovered con-
seriousness. McCourt was examined
about week ago on the charge of being
insane, but was released. There is said
to have been trouble between the fami-
lies for some time.
