LOST SOME FINGERS.

y Fargo, May 225.-John Rush, en-
ployed at the French Hickman fax
fiber mills, met with a painful accident
while engaged in cleaning one of the
corrugated rollers. Another employe
turned on the power while he was thus
engaged and, although he yelled at the
man N an to turn if off, the fellow became
excited and ran away. The four fin
gers of the left hand were badly
crushed and it was found necessary to
amputate the three larger ones at the
knuckle. Drs. Wear and Wheeler
performed the operation 81

after the completion of the prelimin-
ary examination before Justice Tib-
balls. The coroner's jurors testified
to the statements made to them by the
two men at the mine when they went
up after the body and to some Of the
statements made. by the defendant at
the coroner's inquest. Coroner White
exhibited the carpet taken from the
house, with the piece cut from it, as
the old man said had been done. DR..
Bentley and the jurors testified to the
fact that there were no indications of
choking on the body. Undertaken Up
right made the same statement this
morning and testified that the deceased
man had evidently been strong, mus
fcllar and active from the appearance
of the body. a. 4 a.
This afternoon the cross examina-
ton of the defendant was concluded.
1T related largely to matter Of. detail,
the most Important statement brought
being that to the effect that the sister
Of James M. Jenkins. Ida Lewis, had
told Ira Jenkins that James M. admit
ted to her the killing Of Stark, and
that she had been up all night with
him trying to get him to pray or have
a priest. This statement was made
to her before the fact of the death OF
Stark was reported to the authorities.
The state asked that subpoena be is
sued for Ida Lewis. sSE5s
Mrs Ira Jenkins testified to the
effect that she and her mother had not
wanted Ira to so to the mine with the
old man. She also testified that
James NJ. had dined at the home
Of her mother on the day he and his
son went to the mine This was in
contradiction of the testimony o1
James M. Jenkins on that point. M
81 Several witnesses were examined
as to the keeping Of whisky at The
farm, and the state put on couple
who testified to the weakness Of james
M Jenkins physically.
The defense rested at a little afte1
8. o'clock, and the state asked for :
recess of a few minutes until some
additional witnesses could be sent for
The testimony in the case will prob
ably be completed this afternoon. i: .s
Court adjourned shortly: before Z
o'clock until tomorrow morning. i here
are one or two witnesses yet TO be ex.
amined by the state. The case viii

THE NEW YORK FAILJJRE.

New York, May 25.It is stated on
the cotton exchange this morning that
the the. suspension of the firm Of Price,
Mccormick & Co., is not likely to SER
iously involve other members, Ad-
vices from Liverpool are encourag ging
inasmuch as the failure to indicate the
Hurry tEtL that had been looked for.
Among the best informed people the
opinion extends that the Price, Nc
Cormick & Co. outstanding contracts
on on exchange do not exceed 100000.
The cotton market here this morning

WESTERN MEMBERS OF CON,

FOR VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOM

u, I-y
Washington, D. c., May 20" Jerry
]. /" sends the Minneapolis Journal the
result Of his interview with leading
western republicans on the vice presi-
dental nomination question. So far
as the members of congress are con-
cerned, Washburn seems to be the
western candidate most in favor, al
though all the men named have influ-5
ential friends. The members Of both
houses know Washburn and like him
and would be pleased personally to see
him nominated. They do not feel
in a position, however, to exert any
marked influence in their respective
states, preferring to have sentim ent
develop naturally, and exert itself in
the interest Of the party as whole.
Many friendly words are spoken for
Washburn, however. Said Senator
Hansbrough of North Dakota:
s5s5 .sI feel that the northwest is entitled
to the vice presidency, and know no
reason why she should not have it.
Should it come our way I should be
glad to have Senator Washburn hon-
ored. He is a good man, commands
the respect and confidence of the party
and would make an acceptable presid-
ing officer of the senate 2

Some of thems contain severe
criticism of the role played by Mr..

They declare that the Colonial

The American Natl
Onal Campaign.

The campaign for the presidency
is fairly on in the United States, Mr.
Bryan having commenced a tour
through the States, during which he
will speak upon the great public
questions which divide the parties.
1t is not probable that the president
will do large amount of campaign
ing, he having already expressed his
oaon and his party's views upon
recent occasions. The custom has
recently arisen for the head of a
reigning administration to place his
policies before the peohle in after
dinner orations; this was the method
effectively used by Grover Cleveland
and will be doubtless reScrted to by
Mr.. Mckinley when the need arises.
Business is usually much distur-
bed during tie progress of national
campaign, aud there will be a tenn
porary paralisys of public ami priva-
te enterprises when the time for the
voting draws nigh. 1t is not likely
to affect Puerto Rico, however.

TROOP SHIPS WATER SUPPLY

A Good Condensing Apparatus Solves
the Difficult Problem.
The ships ordinary supply would be
totally inadequate for the requirements
of say a thousand troops besides
horses; but the difficulty is overcome
with the aid of a good condensing apJ
paratus, says the Building World. FROM
the tanks into which the water is con-
densed-about twenty tons and upward
a day-extra iron pipes r run to suits
able positions on the different positions
on the different decks and draw-o&
cocks are fixed. Under the cocks for
supplying the horses tubs are placed
into which the water is run. In the;
soldiers quarters small pipes are fixed
and the supply is taken from spring
cocks the amount allowed being usu-
ally six pints a head a day, excep.
when the vessel is in the tropics, when
one gallon a head is allowed. To pro-
vide against any breakdown Of the COM
denser, portable iron tanks, holding
about 400 gallons each, are placed in
the lower holds and filed. Lift pumps
are then fixed fore and aft on the main
deck and the suction pipe from the
pumps is taken down close to these
tanks and finished with d union. onto
which a rubber suction hose is, screwed,
and led to each tank as required. 4:
rising main taken from pump is turns
ed down and run parallel with tho
main supply and finished at the same
points.
