NO MORE LocKsTEP.
f. Abandoned at Sing Sing by
the Prison Authorities.

New York, Aug. 14.-No more lock-
step at Sing Sing prison. The officials
of the greatest prison in the United
States have declared against the pris-
on walk. For long time the ques-
ton of abandoning it has been under
consideration, and the recent hot
weather turned the scales in favor of
its discontinuance. Such a radical de-
parture from prison tradition was
not expected by the prisoners, who
are greatly delighted.
The lockstep requires that each
man march almost in the footsteps of
the man in front, with the left hand
on his shoulder. The men are wedged
together as closely as they can walk.
In warm weather this step is a source
of great discomfort to the prisoners.
The lOckstep is also particularly re-
pugnant to prisoners, because in no
other way is their degradation
brought home so forcibly to them.
The lockstep was omitted at Sing
Sing Sunday for the first time. The
prisoners were marched about in
companies in double file.

COILS P. HUNTINGTON.
The President of the Southern Pa

Huntington, president of the South

Knot camp, near Durant, on Rae
quette lake, in the Adirondacks, at IL
o'clock Monday night.
Mr.. HuntingtOn's private secretary,
K. Z. Gates, received a message at

city, Tuesday morning, announcing
the sudden death Monday night of the
millionaire at Racquette Lake, N. Y.
Mr.. Gates left for Camp ''Pine Knot"

ing. Friends of the Huntington fam
lily in this city at once sent a cable
gram to London to the Princess HAITI
feldt, the adopted daughter of Mr..
Huntington, announcing the death
of her father.

ments before anything could be done

MOTOR CAR HELD UP.
and Fifty Dollars, But PasSen-

Omaha, Aug. 14.-Motor No. z of the
Omaha and Council Bluffs Railway
and Bridge Co. was held up and the
conductor was robbed by two masked
men about midnight at the Wabash
crossing, near the corner of Sixth
street and Thirteenth avenue, Coun-
Gil Bluffs.
AS the motor stopped for the cross
ing two men rose from the darkness
at the side of the track and boarded
the car. One covered the conductor
and the other the motorman. One of
the robbers took from the conductor
his gold watch and his cash, amount
ing to $50. AS soon as they had fin
ished their work the robbers jumped
from the car and disappeared in the
darkness. There were only a few
passengers aboard, and they were not
disturbed.

QUICKSILVER.
1t is Feared the Worlds Production
Will Prove Unequal to the Grow
ing Demand for 1t.

Boston, Aug. 14.-Some fear is felt
in the trade that the worlds produc-
ton of quicksilver is likely to pro.e
unequal to the growing demand. The
total supply in 1899 was about $4,000
TASKS from Spain, Italy, Austria and
California, the principal sources of
supply. This was less than for quite
a number of years with the exception
of two. The production of the Cini-
bar mines of California, the only large
producers upon the American conti-
nent, has declined from 10000 TASKS
in 1888 to only 28,10O in 1899. The
principal mines of Spain and Austria,
which have been producing for nearly
1900 years, are the only producers of
Importance, except Russia produced
$500 TASKS last year, none of which
came out of that country. Spain pro-
dUced 39,340 TASKS in 1899, and Aus
tria only $4,000. Hope for future in
creased supplies of quicksilver comes
from New South Wales, where Ciniba
ore is said to be plentiful, the English
capitalists now turning in that di-
rection with a view of testing the
value of the ores.

FIFTY LIVES LOST.
Sunk in a Collision With the
BattIeship Brannus.

Paris, Aug. 14.-During maneuvers
of the French fleet off Cape Vincent
a collision occurred between the first
class battleship Brennus, flying the
flag of Vice Adm. Fournier, command
er of the feet, and the torpedo boat
destroyer France.
The France sank Immediately. The
accident was due to the fact that the
France turned to the right, when or
dered to the left.
Details thus far received are mea-
ger, but only small portion Of the
crew, consisting of four officers and
IS men, were saved. 1t is believed that
no fewer than so were lost, and great
anxiety is felt here.
The France, which was of 313 tons
displacement, was recent addition
to the French navy.

Death of a Noted Chess Player.

New York, Aug. 14.-Announce-
ments has just been made of the
death Sunday at the Manhattan State
Hospital, of this city, of William
Steinitz, the chess player. The de-
ceased was born in Prague, May IS
1887. Since 1852 he had made chess
playing his profession. In the great
tournament at London in 1872 he
gained the worlds championship. In
1873, in Vienna, he won the emperor's
prize of 1000 guilders. His title OF
champion of the world he defended
with great success against all com
ers until 1894, when he was defeated
by Emanuel Lasker. Since then he
seemed to be on the decline, and his
mind began to fail.
