such unaccust omed yigor that the Little

the enraptured Crane TO her heart. II is
true however that she explained 10 the
other divers that II was the only way In
which she could AVOID the opportunities or
the Crane. But deep down In her heart
she knew that was not the reason. neither

so much better than divers especially the
toothsome shway- hwud-dee young ball

was very fond of them, and so she wed the
Crane and they were very happy--for

There came a day when the Crane re-
turned home suddenly from his fishing.
He had caught no fish, which put him In

tr0duced n Resolution to Recap

Frankfort, KY, March 6.--The orders
for the shipment of guns and ammuni-
tion from the state arsenal here to
London, KY, by the Republican state
authorities, was revoked yesterday af-
ternoon and a car loaded with muni-
tions of war, consigned to London, was
unloaded and its contents returned to
the arsenal in this city. The state Of
ficials give no reason for the change
of program. The soldiers worked all
forenoon loading the car. There is a
report that the war department at
Washington interfered and requested
the guns and ammunition already
taken to London to be returned here.
The removal of the arsenal equip
ments was the subject of the follow
ing resolution in the senate yesterday
by Senator Triplett, an anti-Goebel
Democrat:
Resolved, that committe of two
members Of the senate and three mCm-
bers Of the house be appointed to in
vestigate the report that the guns and
arms and munitions of the state have
been removed by w. s. Taylor, or by
his orders to certain officers of the
state troops, to London, KY, and that
If said reports are found to be true,
the said committee Shall at once pre-
pare an act authorizing General John
B. Castleman to purchase at once all
the necessary guns and equipments to
replace said material illegally remov-
ed, and that he is further authorized
to summon to arms and equip a suffi-
cient army of state militia to recover
all of the guns and other munitions SO
taken, and replace same in the state
arsenal, and further, the sum of $780,
900 be and is hereby appropriated by
the general assembly of the common
wealth of Kentucky to carry out the
provisions of said act and that the
auditor Of the state shall draw his war
rant upon the treasurer for the sum
necessary to carry out the provisions
of the act"
A storm of applause followed the
reading of the resolution, which under
the rules lies over for one day. Now

Train Thrown Down Embanknent.

Huntingdon, Pa, March 6.-An acci-
dent to the early morning passenger
train on the East Broad Top railroad
yesterday at Martins Meadow resulted
in the death of Conductor George w.
Briggs, the probably fatal injury of
Mine Superintendent Frank Lyon and
Grant Schmittle, and the serious inju-
ry of a dozen passengers. The acci-
dent was caused by broken rail, and
the derailed cars, containing about 100
passengers, were thrown over an en-
bankment. Scarcely any of the travel
ers escaped without some injury. A
lone woman passenger and her little
babe were extricated from the debris,
the former being severely hurt, while
the babe escaped without scratch.
