Let Us Try Goats.

Gradually the goat is finding
his way into popularity on the
farms in some sections Of the
country. 1t is not the ordinary
"biIly goat" that is made the
butt of so many newspaper Jokes,
however, but the Iong-haired
Angora. This animal is a good
investment because the woody
hair that he produces in con-
siderable abundance is a prOtita-
ble article of commerce, and
because goats can DO well on pas
tUres that do not afford sufficient
grazing 10 keep any other Kinds
of stock n tnrlving condition.
In addition to this they are said
to be the most healthy and least
subject to disease Of any Of the
domestic animals, and the kids
are most excellent 10 eat. These
things being true, the Angora
goat ought to find q place ON
thousands of SOU hsru farms.

Bridgeport, Nov. 2S.-Mrs. E. j. Lots
t1eth OF 1156 Main street discovered a
burglar in her apartments over her mil
linery store this evening, and with rare
presence of mind closed the door of the
room and imprisoned the intruder by
holding the knob, until policeman
answered her calls for help. When ar
rested the man gave his name as Hen
ry Johnson of Hartford, Conn.,. and
said he had been employed as a laborer
there. AS his hands seemed soft and
white, however, the police do not credit
his story that he has been using a pick
and shovel, and they believe they have
captured a professional second story
operator. A few hours before his cap
ture the residence of Marcus Wheeler
was entered while the family was alb
sent and when one of the members of
the household returned, he found that
the house had been thorough ransacked

AN AMERICAN WARSHLP LOST
CR USER YOSEMIIE WRECKED OFF
THE ISLAND OF GUAM.

Parts Her Cables In Typhoon on Now
embor Is and After Drifting Sixty
Drowned-The Rest Saved by Coli
Her.
Manila. Nov. 2S.-The United States
auxiliary cruiser Yosemite parted her
cables off the harbor of San Luis
dApra, Island of Guam, drifted sixty
miles, struck reef and was wrecked.
Five of the crew were drowned. a
collier rescued the remainder.
New York, Nov. 2S.-A cable dispatch
from Manila says that the auxiliary
cruiser Yosemite was sunk in a typhoon
off Guam on the 18th of November, and
that five of her crew were lost,
Washington, Nov. 2S.-The Yosemite
was first commissioned April 13, 1898
She had been station ship at the island
of Guam since the days of the Spanish
war. She is an eighteen knot converted
cruiser of 6179 tons displacement and
is provided with a main battery of ten
5-inch rapid fire guns and secondary
battery of six 6=pounders and two Colt
rifles. Her measurements are 391 feet
in length by As feet extreme breadth.
She has a mean draft of twenty feet
one inch.
Just before the outbreak of the Span
h-American war the vessel was pur-
chased by the navy department, fitted
as an auxiliary cruiser and rendered
effective service as one of the patrol
fleet, being manned in part by the
Michigan naval militia. 1t is said that
her anchorage at Guam was off the
harbor Of San Luis dApra, and that
owing to her draft she was obliged to
lie six miles off shore. The harbor is
a particularly dangerous one, owing to
the existence of rocky shoal in the
middle of a particularly crooked chan
mel
According to the naval register the
Yosemite was manned by eighteen Of
ficers and 267 men, but in her capacity
as station ship not all of these were
required and undoubtedly a part of
them We're ashore engaged in duties at
the naval station. This probably would
be true of her commander, Seaton
Schroeder, who is also governor of
Guam, and who probably left the COM
mand of the ship to the ranking officer,
Lieutenant Augustus N. Mayer. The
other officers accredited to the ship by
the register are: Lieutenant W. F. SAT-
ford, Albert Moritz, B. B. Bier, Ensigns
A. w, Pressy, H. l.. Collins, A. N.
Mitchell, and f, n. Evans; Assistant
Surgeon F M. Furlong, Assistant Pay
master Delano, Chaplain o. p. Reynolds

OVERDUE STEAMER ARRIYES.
Tempestous Experience of an Elder
Dempster Liner.

Halifax, N. S., Nov 2S.-The over
due Elder-Dempster line steamer Lake
Megantic, employed under contract in
carrying the Canadian mails, arrived
this evening and before separating the
passengers presented Captain Taylor
and his officers and crew with testi-
monial in recognition of their manage
ment of the ship during prolonged and
perilous voyage of sixteen days from
Liverpool. On the second day from
Queenstown the steam steering gear
broke down. 1t was repaired at inter
walls again and again during the voy-
age with the insufficient appliances at
hand and with immense labor and ex-
posure on the part of the officers, en-
gineers and crew. AS often as it broke
away and for a great part of the voy-
age the ship was at the mercy of wind
and wakes in unusually wild weather
for this tempestuous month on the
north Atlantic. At last only three
days ago a hand steering gear was sue
cessfully rigged and served to bring the
Lake Megantic into port. The ships Of
flcers consider the voyage one of the
worst in their experience as seamen and
mariners.
Yarmouth, N. c., Nov. 2S.-The

this afternoon with her forward deck

nest and down the spars and rigging.

Beaver, Pa, Nov. 2S-The Cleveland
night express leaving Pittsburg at mid
night, on the Cleveland and Pittsburg
road, ran into wash-out half a mile
west of Beaver, Pa, at 1 o'clock this
morning, and the locomotive mail, bag
gage and express cars jumped the
tracks and plunged into the Ohio river.
The three day coaches and the Pull
man sleeper stayed on land, although
thrown from the rails, and the forty
one passengers escaped with slight
bruises.
M S. Casey Of Cleveland, the express
messenger, was unable to escape, and
was drowned in his car, which is below
the surface of the river. Four train
men were injured Their names are:
Albert Coughnour Of Cleveland, engi-
neer, one foot cut off; Frank Connell,
conductor, bruised and scratched, but
not seriously; John Taylor of Allegheny,
Pa, Pullman porter, slightly cut and
bruised; and Allen, the baggagemaster,
slightly hurt.
The passengers were taken back to
Beaver, and at o'clock Were trans
ferred to another train for Cleveland.
Wrecking trains were sent from the AL
legheny depot as soon as word of the
accident was received. The clearing of
the tracks did not take many hours but
it may be several days before the flood
recedes and the submerged cars are re-
covered. A large quantity Of business
mail was in the mail car, and consider
able valuable and perishable matter in
the express car. The total loss will
amount to large sum.

IT do not regard the United States as

which the Americans already consti-

there is not something of the French
