AS Improbable. G.

Boston, May 6.-Congressman o. Charles
A. EouteIle of Bangor. who is In this
city, was asked today if he thought an
extra session of Congrt S, would be called
He replied that he regarded the story
from Washington to the effect that Presi

said: ''If MIR. Reed retires it will make
two vacancies in the Maine delegation. l

KILLED HIS WIFE.
Woman Accidentally Shot While Out
Rowing with Her Husband.

Biddeford, May 5.-Mrs. William Jack
son of Kennebunk Landing was fatally
wounded this morning by the accidental j
discharge of gun.
She was out in row boat with her
husband, the gun being on a seat between
them. Mr.. Jackson says the boat struck
| a rock and the gun was Jared from the
seat and the charge exploded. Mrs. Jack
son was hit in the breast.
AS soon as possible the husband rowed
to Kennebunkport and summoned a
physician who found tho woman past
help. She was about thirty years old.
MIR. jackson had been out cunning
early In tho morning and was on his way
homs when he picked up his wife at the
Lower Village and. proceeded with her
up the Kennebunk river toward the
Landing
Mrs. Jackson sat in the stern sheets
while her husband was in the bow of the
boat rowing. The gun which is a double
barrel!ed one rested across . seat between
them with the muzzls pointing toward
the stern.
When the bow encountered the rock or
whatever obstr action it was that was in
the way, the boat rolled and the gun
slipped from the::seat, and as it struck the
bottom planking both barrels were dis
charged, the shot taking effect in Mrs.
Jackson's left breast and going right
through the body. Death was presumably
instantaneous.
The tragedy occurred only short dis
tance from kennebunkport village and
the horror stricken husband hurried at
once to turn his boat toward that village,
| bearing the mutilated body of his wife.
After the arrival of physician, who
found his services useless, Coronsr f. @.
Bradbury of Saco was notified and arrived
in Kennebunkport at noon. Upon hear.
| ing Mr.. Jackson's story of the tragedy and
learning the circumstances of the case,
the coroner ordered the body removed to
the home at Kennebunk landing, and he
returned to Saco by the next train. The
coroner decided that death was plainly
due to an accident and deemed an inquest
| unnecessary.
Mrs. Jackson leaves a family of five
children, four of whom are small.

compIished Much.

shine and Hall are said to be ample for
every emergency. Together they have
about 1900 men; besides the ninth and
twelfth regular infantry, who have just
arrived ct Manila. Ovenshine's brigade
consists of the fourth ana fourteenth in.
fantry, fret Washington, two battalons
of the first Idaho; one battalion OF the
first California and Dyer's and Haw-
thorne's batteries. Halls brigade consists
of the 18th infantry and the first
Wyoming.
in view of these sharp demonstrations
to the south the work done by Lawton on
his expedition to Laguna de Bay is re-
ceiying credit not heretofore accorded to
it. One of the main results of the ex-
| pedition was to destroy the small craft by
| which the rebels might have crossed the
lake and moved north on the rear of Mac
Arthur's forces. Now they are hemmed
| in on a narro " strip of land between tn 3
lake and the ocean unable to CROSS the
| lake, while the march is too long to circle
| che lake to the south. Thus the work of
Lawton is holding the rebels, sons 5000
| in number, to the south, leaving Mac.
| Arthur free from danger Of an attack in
| force from the rear
| The report that the Filipinos were try
| ing to break through the American lines
| is evidence to the war department that tn 9
| force is becoming short of supplies.
| 1t is evidently Gen. Otis Intention to
remain ON the defensive SO long as he ran
keep this force separated from the main
| body of Aguinaido. 1t is said General
| Otis believes that he can starve this
| southern army into submission. Malate
! is a suburb of Manila near the bay. The
other point mentioned in the despatch,
| San Perdo Macati, is between Manila and
La Guna de Bay and is ons OF the out
posts which protects the waterworks.

An official of the Navy Department

about the terrible condition of Adj
miral Dewey's health: while il lie not
likely that Il man OF Dewey's age--al-
most 62-and physique could remain in
tropical waters as long rs he has been
there without showing signs of the eff
iects of the climate, not to mention the
nervous strain he has been under since
the first OF last May, | have no fear OF
his remaining in Manila Bay until he
breaks down. He is there nov simply
because he wishes to be, as Tor months
he has had otfic;s. permission to start
for home at any time he desired to do
so. He is too level headed to strain his
strength too far. You can set it down
as certain that his physical condition i.
not as bad as the yellows have painted

WEDNESDAY .... MARCH Is, 1899
Lovelock.

Justice Young OF Lovelock was in
Winnemucca a few days ago. He and
his brother are among the progressive
and wide awake business men Of the
valley. George Young and his brother
Steve are actively engaged in several
lines OF developn ept in the valley and
are aware OF its great future.
Lovelock can easily support a popula-
ton of 5000 souls, said Mr.. Young, and
with the successful building of the irri-
CATION and storage reservoirs it can we'll
support double that population. This
year we are to have a large increase in
| the acreage OF the valley, and ever acre
| OF available land is being put under al
falfa and wheat. Hay in the stack is
worth 81 a ton, and is hard to get at
that.
A creamery is now under foot, and it
will take 1000 cows to run it. There
will be a meeting to perfect an organiza-
ton today. Every industrial resource
OF the valley will be utilized.
As to our mining future, there is a
rich outlying mineral district to this val
ley and the districts are rich in gold,
copper, nickle and iron. The iron mines
alone. said Mr.. Young, will keep ten
ten Thousand men at work. The prop
erty is bonded and the sale will o be
effected and q railroad will soon he
placed in there and Il boom will result.
The nickle mines are being worked right
along. In Arabia district some fifteen
men are at work. In Trinity district
the mines have been purchased by Bos-
Ion parties, who have also purchased
the Reno reduction works and are ship
ping the ore to Reno for treatment.
MIR. Young says that a great deal OF
the land has been sowed and that in
some instances the wheat is already
coming up. There is plenty Of water,
and owing to the wonderful richness OF
the soil it does not take a great quantity
OF water to keep the land in shape.
There seems to be no fear Of u shortage
of water, and if reports are true there is
plenty OF waite. at the head of the Hum
bolt t. keep all the land under c%ultiva-
ton.
Mr.. Young says there is mo- an idle
house in town and not an idle man in
the valley. AS an agricultural section it
is one OF the richest in Nevada, and the
people of the state will see the day that
Lovelock is as large as the town oil Reno.

the chutes while the logs are coming
down. The terrific speed that the logs
attain makes it certain death for a
man to get in the way of one of them,
and they sometimes leave the chute
without any warning. A peculiar fea-
ture of the accident of last night. as re-
lated by those who witnessed it, was
that after the log had struck Young
and killed him, it jumped back into the
chutes and went on down to the land
ing. These chutes and the excavations
on Higgins avenue are making repu-
tations as death-traps.

John M Robinson, Bozeman dele
gate to the national irrigation conven-
ton, returned on Friday. Mr.. Robin
son says that the meeting was a highly
satisfactory one. Needed amendments
to the irrigation laws were recon-
mended, and the convention adopted
resolutions antagonistic to the present
arid land laws which put such large
tracts in the hands Of corporations, in
stead of in the hands of worthy set
tiers. who should have the land re-
claimed by the government and pay
reasonable price therefor. The arid
land law, it was the general opinion,
was against the best interests of the
country, inasmuch as it had a tendency
to build up a system of alien land
lordism.
