JOHN BROWNS RAIDERS
Bodies Of seven Of Them Exhumed
ut Harper's Ferry for Trans
ferral to North EIba, N. Y.

Capt. Z. p. Hall and DR.. Thomas r..
ton, have returned from Harper's
Ferry, where they have been exhuming
the bodies of seven of John Browns
raiders. The bodies have been sent
TO North Elba, n. Y, where they will
be buried near the grave of the leader
under whom they fought and died. OF
the other three raiders who were killed
at Harper's Ferry, the remains of one,
Watson Brown, were recovered and
buried near John Browns body in 1852.
Where the other two are no one can
tell. They were taken from Harper's
Ferry after the fight, and were used
in a medical college for anatomical
purposes. Watson Browns body was
taken away for the same purpose, but
II was traced and recovered by Mrs.
Brown many years afterward. The
two whose whereabouts are unknown
are Jeremiah q. Anderson and Lewis S.
Leary, the latter a negro.
Ceremonies are TO be held at John
Browns grave, and it is said that Rev.
Joshua Young, who buried John Brown
and who suffered social ostracism for
it, will take part. He is now living in
Groton, Mass. A monument is TO be
erected over the graves at North Elba.
The bodies recovered are those of Oil

INCREASED PRODUCTION.
Largely Increased Amount of Iron
Ore Mined i'm the United states
Last Year.

During 1895 the production of iron
ore in this country amounted to 49,
27s,36S tons, as against 17,51S,046 in
1897, or an increase of 1,760,323 tons for
last year. This is larger amount than
has been mined by any other country an
one year, being more than 1,250,000
above that produced by Great Britain
in 1850, when 1S,026,049 were mined.
Ores of the British isles average lower
percentages of metals than those pro-
duced in this country, and therefore
represented a smaller pig metal prod
uct. About SO per cent. of the iron ores
produced was red hematite, 10 per cent.
brown hematite and 7 per cent. was

TAKE GLASS BALL FROM HEAD
Surgical Operation al Wichita which
Restored Reason Lost
Thirty Years Ago.

Mrs. Lena Crawford, an insane pa
tient al Tiel's private hospital at
Wichita, Kan, has just had an opera
ton performed by Drs. McLees and
Hoskins to remove glass ball from her
head. The ball is small and is supposed
to have been inserted near the brain
for some remedial agent. 1t was placed
there so years ago. Soon afterwards
dull pains passed through the woman's
head and six months later she went in
sane. Ever since then she has been a
maniac and no one ever remembered
the glass ball having been put there.
She was brought TO Wichita, and the
hospital physicians made an examina-
ton, later removing the ball. 1t was
covered with thick coat of membrane
Just as soon as she recovered from the
operation she also recovered her proper
senses and now talks quite freely of the
incident 30 years ago. She says the
weight of the bali caused her TO lose her
mind. Mrs. Crawford is IS years old.
The physicians say that similar opera
ton was never before performed.

Sunday issues, but they appear as a rule only
once a week. the brief dispatches which they
get on the other days OF the week not amount

The Chicago Trbune's foreign service

the foreign news service of any of the New

One or two of the New York papers have
had for years deservedly high reputation
for presenting their readers with news Of in
terest from foreign parts. and the public will
not forget its indebtedness 10 them on that
account. But IL is beyond dispute that the

BUILT OF TOO LIGHT RAILS.

1.-THE industries of Russia" said Mr..
Dixon, "are all thriving. The Russians
are q slow-moving people, but they are
steady and sure. The Trans-Siberian
railroad is now completed from Moscow
to Iorkootsk, distance of about 1900
miles. East of Iorkootsk the road is In
operation in patches, as 10 were. That
is to say, It has not yet been connected
all the way through to Vladivostock.
An unfortunate thing about the build
ing of this road is that very light rails
have been used, and the ties are too wide
apart. When its construction was be-
gun nobody realized the immensely of
the undertaking. The traffic has been
greatly in excess of all expectations
and I fear that the road will not stand
the wear and tear. It would cost an
enormous sum to rectify the mistake

covers n New Bay-Grand Pacific
Glacier Receding.

The party of scientists who went to
Alaska month ago as guests of Z. II.
Hartman, of New York, are meeting
with unqualified success. They made
several important discoveries. Among
these is an immense bay extending in
land over 20 miles. At the upper end of
the bay they have discovered great
glacier, inferior only to Muir glacier
in size. This bay was named IN
known bay. Four other new glaciers
which have never before been seen by
white men were found at the head Of
Disenchantment bay. In Icy bay, OPP
posite CAROLS glacier, an immense gla-
cier three-quarters of a mile in width
was discovered and named Harriman's
glacier. In the bay where the Grand
Pacific glacier is located observations
were taken which show that its ice wall
has receded three miles since Muir and
Reed visited the locality and estab-
lished their survey 20 years ago.
These details were brought by local
members of the party who left the
steamer Elder at Kodiak.

Dewey and Evans.

The deck of a man-of-war is the ter
ritory of the nation whose flag she flies
from the masthead. "The bearings Of
this observation lays in the application
on it" TO quote Jack Bunsby. An an
ecdote, told in Watterson's History Of
the Spanish-American War" shows
1.-THE application on it, made by Dew
cy, while in command Of the Pensa-
cola.
While the Pensacola was at Manila
in 1887, n number of sailors who had
gone ashore on leave became engaged
in a street brawL An alarm was
turned in. but the sailors escaped to
the ship. The next morning the Span
ish captain of the port visited the
Pensacola TO complain TO Captain
Dewey of the action of his sailors.
What can | dO?" asked Dewey.
'Why, your men raised riot on
shore, and you can assist me in ar
resting and Furnishing Them" replied
the Spaniard.
Dewey courteously expressed his re-
greet that sailors of the Pensacola
should be lawless while on shore
leave, but could see no way in which
he might assist his visitor In search
ing out the guilty ones.
The reply of Dewey angered the
port captain, and he said peremptor-
lily:
You certainly can parade your
crew before me, in order that the riot
ers may be identified"
Looking aloft and pointing to the
Stars and Stripes waving at the mast
head, Dewey made reply:
"The deck of this vessel is United
States territory, and I'll parade my
men for no foreigners that ever drew
breath"
In 1892 Capt. Robley ID. Evans
ship, the Baltimore, was lying in the
harbor of Valparaiso, and some Chill
can revolutionists sought refuge on
board. There were three Chilean
men-of-war in the harbor. The adj
miral called on Captain Evans to no.
tify him that If the refugees were not
surrendered his three ships would fol-
low the Baltimore out of the harbor
and sink her.
Captain Evans C'Fighting Bob')
conveyed the warning to his guests
and told them TO decide for them
selves-for his part he was ready to
protect them at all hazards. They
concluded TO remain with him, and
Captain Evans so informed the Chill
can admiral. adding that as long as
they chose to stay he would protect
them.
"very WELL" replied the admiral
"your ship will he sunk half an hour
after you leave the harbor."
THAT may IL true" said Captain
Evans, "but the Baltimore will make
you a lot Of trouble for half an hour"
He had his way, and kept the ref

In the Law.

A man who is closely connected with
the late Col. Robert q. 1ngersoll's fam
lily says that no will of Col. Ingersoll
has been found, and that nobody who
knew the colonel thought there was
one.
THE colonel did not believe in Wills"
he said. All who knew him well have
heard him say so frequently. His the
DRY was that a mans estate should be
settled and distributed by the ma
chinery of the law constructed for that
purpose"
"Do you know whether he ever ex-
pressed any wishes about the DISPOSE
ton of his estate?"
''No; it is very improbable that he
did. l don't think he ever thought
much about that subject. He consid-
cred the law fair, and was willing to
trust it,"
AS TO what Col. Ingersoll left the
man said he did not believe anybody

AMERICAN TEA GARDEN.
Results of Expe riments by DIR. Charles
u. Shepard-ShOwn 1t Can BE
Raised Probably.

DR.. Charles L. Shepard, who is in
charge of the experimental tea garden
at Summerville, S. c., has made re-
port to the secretary of agriculture,
covering the progress made up 80 da-e.
He says that there are now about 50
acres of land under tea cultivation, and
that 5000 pounds were sold last year
at profit of 25 per cent. IT is estimat-
ed that when all the plants now grow
ing arrive at maturity they will yield
10000 pounds annually. DR.. Shepard
expresses the opinion that the fact
that the tea plants lived through last
winter, when the most intensely cold
weather In the history of the section
was experienced, is a guarantee that
the weather conditions will prove sat
isfactory. The labor problem, he says
has been solved by establishing a school
for the education of negro children in
tea picking.
The quality of the tea also has proved
satisfactory. OF the black tea he says:
1T has a distinctly characteristic
flavor, and like some of the choicer ORR
entail teas, its liquor has more strength
than its color indicates"
The green tea, he says, has attracted
keen interest in the trade and among
consumers, and he adds that oriental
teas can hardly furnish the like in this
country"
