Ice Explosions In Siberia.

A recent Siberian traveller relates:
cat Sadonsk in the intensely cold
nights the silence was sometimes broken
by loud report us of cannon. This
was the bursting of one of the ice bub-
bles in the river, a phenomenon l 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 a ny
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. -

A Bridge of Collins,

When the British forces were march
ing to Picking 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 impassable.
While in this quandary bright idea
suddenly struck one of our officers. Be-
ing we'll aware that the Chinese gener-
ally order their collins 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 a
few empty casks tie soldiers construct
ed pontoon bridge of collins sufficient
~ strong to bear the artillery, and the
river was thus passed in safety.

Mystery Surrounding Death of
Ed. F. Gilmore Cleared up.
WAS EN- ROUTE TO HIS FIANCEE.

Jefferson City, Mo, Nov. 6.-The
mystery surrounding the death of
Ed. F. Gilmore, whose dead body was
found Friday morning in a closet at
the residence of May Zalser in this
city, has been cleared by the confess
sion of the parties who helped him to
his death.
May Zalser and Maud Williams ad-
NIT that they drugged him with whis-
key and morphine until he was in a
drunken stupor and then they EN-
ployed a negro boy, John Cuie, to
drag him to the closet, for which they
gave the negro $50 of the money Sc
cured from the victim. The negro
cook carried his hat, shoes and coat
to the closet and placed them in the
building in which they were found.
The man was placed there about Z
o'clock Thursday night, and the
theory is that he chilled to death.
The negro man and the negro cook
corroborate the statement of the
women in the main. Robbery was
the motive for the crime. One hun
dred dollars of the money was found

ney, under an old wash pan in the
