executive Of the municipality of Nc

ter for publication by delegation from
McMechen:
when Mayor George Artz, the CHIEF
executive of McMechen, w. Va. returns
to that thriving trade center of Marshall
county, he can tell-if he wants to-a
wild, weird tale of the effect of malt
and spirituous liquors as dispensed in
Baltimore.
Mayor ArtZ spent a portion of las!
night in cell at the Central police sta
ton. A portion of the time he slum-
bered and yet anorner portion he
gurgled huskily about his experiences
1.-THE Mayor of McMechen> struck Bal
timore yesterday morning. About II
o'clock Baltimore struck the Mayor. He
lost his equilibrium and fell on the
cold, hard pavement of South Charles
street, near Camden street. Though
fallen, he still attempted to preserve
his official dignity, and when discovered
by Patrolman McGagan, of the Central
district, he endeavored to sit up, and
informed the officer that he was May
orish McMechen, entietled to liberty

when the policeman took the May
or to the station it marked the second
time he had been taken in yesterday.
The first time was by two strangers,
with whom he struck up an acquaint-
ance, and whom this morning he con-
nected with the disappearance of his
$50 gold watch. This morning the
Mayor, with his executive hat battered
up and his executive head sore from his
communion with Baltimore spirits re-
tailed, was brought before Justice Fech-
tig. The Mayor explained who he was
and produced letters anu papers in evil
dence The justice dismissed him with
the advice to hasten back to his
municipality"

Boats Work Under Water.

The inventor of the Raddatz subma-
rine boat, which has been successfully
operated in the bay at Milwaukee for
some weeks is now debating whether
he would better devote his energies to
getting the craft adopted by some gov
eminent as warboat or preparing II
for commercial purposes. Russia Is
the only foreign government which
has shown an inclination to investi-
gate the Raddatz, II Is said, but the
correspondence which has passed Is
very favorable. A few days ago photo
graphs were taken OF the boat In liz
ferent positions and under various
speeds with very satisfactory results.
II is interesting to note In this connec-
ton that Lakes submarine boat Argo-
naut has just made cruise lasting
eight hours, with thirteen passengers,
near Bridgeport, Conn. For four hours
the boat was under water. The Ar
gonaut travels on the bottom, and Is
not true submarine boat, as COM
munication is maintained with the sur
face by means Of an air tube.

Walsenburg, Colo, July 26.-At the
Walsen camp Of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company the miners do not like
tabor agitators. Cyrus Fields came to
the camp about two weeks ago and got
work. He spent his time In telling the
men that they were being robbed,
cheated and abused The men are con-
tented and resented Fields assaults
on their quiet.
Last night about fifty miners caught
Fields, took him into the middle OF
the road, tied him over barrel and
took turns in spanking him with broad
fat sticks. When they had finished
they took Fields to the limits OF the
camp and told him to go. He went.

The world, wholly immersed in the
South African conflict and it's moment
Gus issues, seems to have forgotten
the threatening conditions which the
.hinned British garrisons in India are
called upon to face at this juncture,
and the harassing anxieties which be-
set them. Private correspondents de-
scribe the natives as following the
progress of the war in South Africa
with keenest watching like
tigers crouching for a spring." What
wonder then, few and scattered as they
are, that the minds Of English officers
and soldiers alike should be prey
to ceaseless apprehensions? An Off
Ger writes: Murders and raids are
becoming common. We are hurried
from station to station, just to demon
strate that we are still here. 1 sleep
with six hundred rounds of ammuni-
ton under my bed. You at home do
not realize these things"
Courier Democrat., 1900-03-29

Human science owes many a debt,
especially on the practical side, to the
instinct Of the lower animals. One of
these obligations is intimated in a re-
cent scientific review Of the subject of
dams. Engineers frequently build
dams straight across streams, the OBJ
ject being, in some cases, to save ex-
pense by sparing material. But the
beaver arches his dam against the cur
rent, and experience has shown that
this form of dam is best to resist floods
and the impact of floating ice. Acting
upon the knowledge which is instinc-
tive with the beaver. and which hu-
man calculation approves, the great
Bear Valley dam in California and
some other recently constructed dams
have been so made that their stability
largely depends upon the resistance
which their arched form presents.

Frankfort, Ky, March 25.-The pre-
limlLary examination of Secretary OF
State Caleb Powers. charged with
abetting in the assassination of Will
lam Goebel, began yesterday before
Judge Moore The court house was
guarded inside and out by militia and
scores of deputy sheriffs, armed with
Winchester rifles, to prevent possible
interference from ''mOuntaineerS' who
were reported on their way to Frank
fort, but their presence was unneces-
sa1y as the niOuntaineers failed to ap-
pear and no disorder occurred.
The witnesses included Warden Eph
Lillard, Detective Doe Armstrong,
Sheriff Bosworth of Fayet,e county,
who arrested Secretary Powers, Capt.
Davis and Silas Jones. who is now un-
der bonds, charged with completely in
the murder. The testimony tended to
show that the shots came from that
section Of the executive building in
which Secretary Powers office is To-
Gated, although no one swore that the
shots We're from the secretary'S office.
The strongest evidence, perhaps. was
given by SilaS Jones, who was in GOV.
Taylors ante-room when the shooting
took place. No evidence was adduced
tending to show that the defendant
was implicated in any conspiracy, but
in one of the frequent wordy disputes
between the attorneys for the defense
and the commonwealth the fact was
brought out that Wharton Golden,
who is said to have made confession,
would be put on the witness stand h"
fore the hearing ends. Prosecuting
Attorney Polsgrove said that sufficient
evidence had already been heard to
warrant holding Powers, but that the
case would be much stronger before
he was through. On the other hand,
Former Gov. Brown. for the defense,
expressed himself as we'll pleased With
the situation, regarding the evidence
SO far as decidedly weak. 1t is prob
able that all of the witnesses for the
prosecution will be heard by this after
noon.
An incident occurred during the af-
ternoon which showed the feeling and
also that the people are prepared for
emergency A soldier in the court yard
dropped his revolver on the stone
tagging and it exploded. In an in
slant every man in the crowded court
room was on his feet, fully Il third ot
them with their hands to their rear
pockets.
