Compromise on boundary Line.

BY the decision of the Anglo Vene-
zuelan boundary arbitration commits
sion, some OF Great Britain's claims as
to the interior and on the coast are dis
allowed. Her frontier will start at the
Waini river. The award was unanim-
GUS 1t is considered in the nature of
a compromise rather than as favoring
Venezuela. The award of the tribunal,
briefly summarized means that, of the
10000 square miles claimed by Vene-
zuela, that country obtains only 100
square miles, formed partly of the
marsh land near the River Barima, and
portion in the interior, while Great
Britain retains all the forest country.

RApIOGRAPHS
by New Process Made as Quickly as
Photographs.


Heretofore it has not been possible
TO make a radiograph as quickly as a
photograph. Ordinarily from one to
three minutes are required to make a
satisfactory photograph of hand. Mr..
Il. w. Caldwell. however, has brought
the achievements OF the X-ray pretty
close TO those of white light In the
New York Electrical Review he pub
fishes two reproductions OF radio
graphs; one made in one-fve-thou-
sandth Of n second, the other in six
een-thirty-fourths of second; the
latter Is strong and brilliant. These
pictures were made without any new or
unusual method, but it was, OF course,
necessary TO use very efficient tubes
and exciting apparatus, and to develop
the negative with care. The exciting
apparatus consisted Of a good, oil-in-
sulated induction coil, giving a four
teen-inch spark, and a liquid inter
rupter making thirty-four breaks per
second. Current from the Edison
mains at III volts was used. The neg
atives were made on celluloid films laid
face down upon a calcium tungstate
screen. AS celluloid offers much less
resistance to X-rays than glass, the
film so arranged utilized the fiuorescent
screen to the greatest advantage.

Whatever may be the result OF Great
Britain's controversy with the South
African republic, every department OF
the government is now as busy as
though hostilities had begun. The
electric flash that announced the mo-
bilization of the army reserves and the
summoning of parliament set every
wheel of the government machinery in
motion. An hour after the Gazette
on the sth executive orders
were being dispatched from the war
office to every section of the kingdom,

Travelling on the Burlington Rail-
road on the way to Denver, a little
town Gale, Atlanta, near Hastings,
Nebraska, is pointed out as a point Of
interest because of the corn cribs built
there along the tracks In all there
are twenty-four separate cribs, II feet
wide and II feet high, with a total
length of 1904 feet, or a distance Of
nearly a mile and n quarter. This
years enormous crop (three hundred
million bushels for the State of Ne
braska) will test their capacity.
Everybody seems prosperous in Ne

money. Nobody wants to borrow it.

Waiting for Kruger to strike First Blow.

A London dispatch says: The situ-
alton is unchanged. The British re-
serves are likely to be called out be-
fore the end of the week and the Beers
are already under arms, and are not
likely to disband without fighting.
Sir Redvera Buffers departure is not
yet settled, in spite of numerous con-
Trajectory rumors. According to dis
patches received at midnight on the 2d
the burghers and the British regulars
were at least 80 miles distant at the
nearest point and hostilities which
President Kruger apparently cannot
now avert if he really desires to do so,
are not likely to be brought on before
the middle of the week.

ATTENDED TO TROLLEY CARS

A horrifying accident which resulted In
the death of an active 16-year-old boy hap
pened yesterday morning about Il o'clock
at tho Twentieth street railroad crossing.
Frank Foster, one of the trolley boys in
the employ of the Birmingham Railway
and Electric company, tried to run across
the track in front of train of freight cars
which were being backed across the street,
when he slipped and fell across the track,
directly In front of the approaching train.
Though 1t was running slowly, the boy
did not have time to get out of the way,
and the heavy wheels crushed him. They
did not pass over his body, but cut both of
the poor boys legs off, between the knee
and the hip.
The Mortified spectators pulled him out
from under the wheels and it was at once
apparent that he would not long survive.
He was made as comfortable as possible
until the ambulance which had been sum-
moned, arrived.
He conscious all the while, and
though he was suffering agonies, talked
about the accident. He asked that the
news be kept from his mother, "for it
would just worry her.
where everything possible was done to re-
lieve his suffering, but at O'Clock in the
afternoon he died. Frank resided with his
mother at the corner of Avenue E and
Twenty-fifth street.
His duties were to keep the street car
trolleys on the wire as the cars pass over
certain portion of the railroad tracks,
where the wire is strung very high. After
one gets across, the trolley boy has to
jump off and catch car crossing in the
opposite direction, or else run back across
the tracks to catch the following the
one he had just left. In this case, he ran
back, although there was a train of freight
cars being backed across the street with
Flagman Merrill waving his danger signal.
Nevertheless, the boy took the chances and
made the attempt, but as he did so, he was
either struck and knocked under the wheels
or else he stumbled and fell.

The contract for the magnificent new
building to be erected by Loveman, Jo-
seph & Loeb, on the corner of Third avenue
and Nineteenth street, has been awarded to
A. Stockmar, the well known builder, and
the work of clearing away the present
three-story building which occupies the site
will begin today.
The bids for the erection of the building
were opened in the office of Helmich the
architect and the contract was awarded to
Mr.. Stockmar. over several local and for
eign contractors.
The new building will be almost a du-
plicate of the present magnificent building
which is occupied by the firm except that it
will be larger and more commodlous. The
north wall of the present building will be
torn down and the new building added on
virtually making one structure. The new
building will COST when completed, some
thing over 100000 and will give the en-
terprising firm one of the largest and best
mercantile homes in the south.
1t is expected that the building will be
ready for occupancy by fall and will add
greatly to the business-like appearance of
that part of the city.

Third Alabama Has Hopes of Getting

Lieutenant Ernest Redd, of the Third
Alabama, came over from Admission yester-
day, and will return this morning. He
says that the officers of his regiment are
hard at work arranging their papers for the
final discharge of the regiment, which is
to take place about the end of the month.
He says that nearly all the officers have
hopes of getting their regiment almost as
whole accepted one of the United
States volunteer regiments, thirty-three of
which have just been authorized by con-
gress. These regiments are to be enlisted
for two years of foreign service, after
which they are to be discharged. Lieuten-
ant Redd says that at least 600 or 700 of
the men in the Third Alabama have sig
nifed their willingness to re-enlist in the
United States volunteer service just as
soon as they are mustered out of the Third
Alabama.

Charged with Shoplifling

There was another long trial in the court
yesterday morning, that of Leonora Wells
and Jennie Banks, colored, charged with
"shoplifting' in Caheen's store. The re-
suit was that Leonora was bound over on
a $500 bond and Jennie was turned loose,
there being no evidence against her.
The details of this case have been printed
before, and the testimony in the trial yes
terday only substantiated them.
The two women went into Marks store
last Saturday afternoon, and while Pete
Began, one of the clerks. was showing
Jennie some goods, Leonora hung back by
the shirt waist counter, and a movement
on her part excited Mr.. Boggan's suspicion.
He went back to her, and pulling open the
long cape which she wore, there tumbled
out from underneath a whole armful of
fancy goods, Undertaking, laces, etc. She
also had the bosom of her dress stuffed
full of goods. The two women begged Mr..
Boggan not to have them arrested as all
of the goods came from Caheen's and not
from his, Marks store. After they were
arrested a search of their room was made,
and whole piles of fine dresses, cloths,
laces and other such stuff was found.
Although Jennie was acquitted yesterday,
other cases have been made out against her
for which she will be tried Tuesday
Other cases tried yesterday were Alfred
Shugart and William Eli Myrck both
