An Ugly story of Uruguay.

Here is one of Robert Crawfords sto-
ries about Uruguay 1.-TWO men sur
prised farmer and his wife in their
little hut while it was broad daylight
The man was seized and bound, and the
two villains proceeded to torture him
to make him disclose the hiding place
of his hoard. The wife begged and
pleaded as the horrors increased, the
man proving obdurate.
FINALLY she said she would tell them
where the treasure was if they would
follow her. One of the two accordingly
went over to the chest in the corner
with her. She opened it, fumbling about
inside of it for moment until she
found what she was looking for. In an
other moment the thief at her side was
dead and his fellow covered by large
revolver in the hands of a small but
eager woman of the people. He got
away before she could quite make mp
her mind to shoot him too.
"Then the husband was released and
the neighbors, some miles away, called
in. Word was finally taken to the cen.
trail police authority of the state; the
officers came. viewed the dead thief
and identified him as their attorney
general. 1t is not unlikely" Mr.. Craw-
ford adds, THAT his accomplice was the
judge of the criminal court"

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP.
Two IIsdiann Cities Try the Experi-
mcnt. with Profit.

The cities of Anderson and LoganS-
port have just completed their bal
anccs for the past year in their muuc
ipal ownership experiments. and both
find that they are ahead of their Won
dcrful showing Of last year. In Lo-
gansport the city has reduced the clec-
tric light rate to DC. per 1000 watts,
the lowest rate in the United States
and possibly i'll the world. Both of
these cities We're pioneers in municipal
experimenting. They both own their
street and commercial electric lighting
services, their fire protection and com
mcrcial water plants and supply their
own fuel through their own natural
gas pipe lines.
The two cities are giving better Serv-
ice at cheaper rates and covering more
hours than was to be had under the
private ownership. Both have pur-
chased their plants on time. and both
find they are not only able to give the
benefits enumerated above, but that
their earnings each year are sufficient
to meet the interest on the loans and
to pay off the Indebtedness overhang-
ing the plants in from IL to 20 years.
Both cities have brought all of their
services together under one roof.
placed 1t under one SUPPLEMENTARY re-
duced the number of workers and also
the amount Of machinery, thereby re-
ducing expense. Both have within the
last year divorced the management of
the municipal plants from the control
of the council that it might not be in
f1ucnced by political fights. and have
placed 1t under the management of
nonpartSan boards of commissioners.
who serve ut very nominal salaries and
have complete charge.
In water service alone it is figured
that to the city government of Ander
son $4,000 per annum is saved. This
is for water for fire protection and pub
lie service. The saving on street light
ing is almost as great.
The lowered rates to the consumers
on the commercial systems entirely
pay for the city services. thus reduc-
ing taxation as we'll as their CONNER
cial rates. Every man, woman and
child in Anderson and Logansport
who burns an incandeScent or arc
light is paying tax to the city. not
dividends to private corporation. 1t
has not been the policy of the city Of
Anderson to lower rates to the lowest
possible notch. as Logansport has
done, but they have been reduced to as
low rate as is to be found charged
by any private company. In both
cities it Is figured that tax for city
purposes would be unnecessary if the
street railway plants were placed I'M
der ownership management The do
ing of this is now being agitated.
The town of North Vernon is also
making progress in municipal expert
ments and has almost as low an cleo
trio light rate as Logansport.

An Old ChurcIl,

FROsTBURG, ND, August "a, 1899.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
In this letter | will endeavor to give
you brief account of Il visit to Pen
nant Melangell Church. claimed to be
200 years old. There is IL legend
connected with it, and from which it
derives its name. Monacella was the
daughter of an Irish monarch who in
tended to give her in marriage to a
nobleman of his court. The princess
having vowed celibacy to prevent the
cOnsummation of her fathers design,
fled from his dominions to lonely
spot in the Elysian Vale. where she
lived fifteen years without seeing the
face of man.
One day as Brochwell Isaythrong,
prince Powis, was out hunting, his
dogs pursued the hare to IL thicket,
into which they would not venture.
The young prince, to ascertain the
cause of so strange an incident, moved
forward, and. to his great surprise,
beheld a virgin of amazing beauty
earnestly engaged in her devotions,
with the object of his pursuit at her
side fearlessly facing the dogs, which
retired to some distance bowling hid
eously. Nor could the sportsman in.
duce them to seize their prey, and
when he blew his horn in command it
stuck to his lips.
Brochwell heard her eveutful his
tory and gave to God and to her some
lands on which to build a sanctuary to
those who should fly thither for pro-
lection. AT his request she founded
an abbey on the spot. of which she
died Abbey at Il great age. Her re-
mains were deposited under her tomb
in an oratOry adjoining this church
called the Cell of the Grave.
Owing to a custom of the people at
that time, some of whom travelled Il
long distance to church and carried
lunches with them, they habitually
used the monument of St. Monacella
to sharpen their knives on. and the
rector, seeing the danger of having it
wholly dcfaced, had it aud another
monument removed into the church.
From the outside the church is a
substantial looking stone structure.
Inside the curious carvings in the
woodwork, showing the hunt and
hares running to the Saint for protec-
tiOn, veritieS the legend of st. Mona
celia or Melangell. AT the center of the
church and on the altar were candles
in wooden candle-sticks of curious
carvings. To one side of the beauti-
fully carved altar are two tablets con-
tanning the names Of people buried
near the spot. ETA THOMAS.

A Bridge of Collins.

When the British forces were march
ing to Peking in 1860, after the capture
Of the Taku forts, one of the rivers be-
came SO swollen with the heavy rains
that it was rendered almost impossible.
While in this quandary bright idea
suddenly struck one of our officers. Be-
ing well aware that the Chinese gener
ally order their coffins years in advance
and keep them on the premises and also
that they are perfectly alright, he con-
suited with his brother officers, with
the result that orders were given to
search all the houses of the village and
collect every coffin. With the aid of
few empty casks the soldiers construct
ed a pontoon bridge of coffins sufficient
ly strong to bear the artillery. and the
river was thus passed in safety.

Ice Explosions In Siberia.

A recent Siberian traveller relates:
cat Sadonsk in the intensely cold
nights the silence was sometimes broken
by loud report as of cannon. This
was the bursting of one of the ice bub-
bles in the river, a phenomenon 1 had
neither heard nor read of before. The
streams coming down from the hills
were frozen on the surface some six to
nine inches thick. The water beneath
flowed faster than it could escape, and
the pressure, on the principal of hy
draulic press, became irresistible.
First, the elasticity of the ice was seen
by the rising of circular mounds from
six to eight feet in diameter and from
four to five feet high. The bursting
point came at last with a report like an
explosion. The water escaped, but soon
froze again. have seen scores of these
ice hillocks in a few versts of the
river"

1t happened that in the last month of
the reign of Charles l a certain ship
chandler of London was foolish enough
to busy himself over barrel of gun
powder with a lighted candle in his
hand. He paid the price of his folly. A
spark fell into the gunpowder and the
place was blown up.
The trouble was that the man who
did the mischief was not the only one
to perish. Fifty houses were wrecked,
and the number of people who were
killed was not known.
In one house among the so a mother
had put her baby into its cradle to sleep
before the explosion occurred. What
became of the mother no one ever
knew, but what became Of the baby
was very widely known.
The next morning there was found
upon the leads of the Church of All
Hallows young child in cradle, baby
and cradle being entirely uninjured by
the explosion that had lifted both to
such a giddy height.
1t was never learned who the child
was, but she was adopted by gentle
man of the parish and grew to woman
hood. She must surely all her life have
had a peculiar interest in that church.
