Nn ure For The WINTER.

"They tell n good many jokes about
Kentucky coloncls and their natural
aversion to water" said fat drummer
in the hotel corridor the other night.
"but the richest thing in that line ] ever
knew to come off In real life happened
over in Alabama when old man Briggs
was trying to sell his summer hotel
Briggs had q pretty piece of property
in the Alabama highlands, and Its star
feature was magnificent big spring
that welled into sort of basin and
was as cold ms ice all the year round.
He had good prospects of making
popular resort out of the place, but he
got the California fever and offered II
at sacrifice to race horse man from
Kentucky who had an idea that he was
cut out for landlord.
"The race horse man was n typical
Kentucky colonel of the old school and
n mighty fine fellow. He came down
to look over the ground in person, and
Briggs started out with him to point
out the principal attractions. At last
they came to the famous spring. This
colonel said Briggs, stopping at the
edge of the basin and swelling with
pride, is a wonderful natural reservoir
of crystal pure water neXhaustible in
volume and ice cold in temperature. 1t
is undoubtedly the finest spring in the
south

slow indeed to observe that the real
cause Of it is that we are growing old,
and we rather resent the suggestion Of
some kindly friend that we need
glasses.

CALIFORNIAN NOT FLOATED.
Allan Liner still Hard and Fast on RAJ
Island Ledge.

Portland, Me-, Feb 26.-The steam
ship Californian still remains hard and
fast on Ram Island ledge tonight, but
after a thorough investigation of the
situation the Allan line officials are ex-
tremely confident that not only will
considerable portion of the cargo be
saved in an uninjured condition, but the
steamer herself will be fioated in very
short time after the wrecking equip
ment, on the way from Boston, gets at
work. Captain Burgess of the towboat
company was in the city to-day and the
company with Lloyds agent made
thorough examination Of the stranded
steamer. The present plan is to take
out all the cargo as soon as possible
and then attempt to remove the water
from the steamer by means of mann
moth pumps. If the water can be
pumped out of the hold temporary re-
pairs can be made ard then it will be
comparatively easy task to get the
steamer to some dry dock.

CARNEGIE-FRICK TROUBLE.
Another Suit Brought Remotely Con
nected with the Matter.

Pittsburg, Feb. 26-John Walker,
guardian of Andrew, Carnegie Wilson,
S. l.. Schoonmaker and John Ponte-
fract, on behalf of themselves and such
other stockholders of the H. C. Frick
company as may choose to join in the
suit as plaintiffs, filed the much-talked
of bill in equity to annul the coke con-
tract held with the coke company by
the Carnegie Steel company, limited,
in common pleas court No. 2, late this
afternoon.
The action is remotely connected
with the trouble now existing between
III. c.. Frck, former chairman of the
Carnegie Steel company, limited, and
Andrew Carnegie, and was precipitated
by the filing of Mr.. Fricks bill in equi-
ty in common pleas court No. 1 to Sc
cure an accounting of the affairs of the
Carnegie Steel company, limited.
In the present case the plaintiffs seek
to restrain the defndants by injunction
from selling, shipping or delivering any
coke to the Carnegie Steel company,
limited, under a contract dated Janu-
ary 1, 1899, at a price of $1.35 ton, the
contract to run for a period of five
years, and from settling with the steel
company for coke already delivered un-
der the contract. 1t is also asked that
the court annul the contract and order
an accounting.

SEIZURE VAS LEGAL.
That of British Steamer Odula During
Spanish War.

Washington, Feb. 26.-In an opinion
by Justice Brown, the United States
supreme court to-day decided the naval
prize money case involving the seizure
of the British steamer Adula. This
ship was owned by the Atlas Steam-
ship company Of Kingston, Jamaica,
and was leased to Spanish citizen at
the rate of G100 per day for the pure
pose of carrying refugees from GUAM
tanAino, Cuba The vessel was cap+
tured June 20, 1898, when enteringI
Guantanamo bay and was condemned
as prize vessel. The opinion handed
down to-day holds that Admiral Samp-
sons blockade was effective; that the
purpose of the voyage was pecuniary
and not charitable and that therefore
the vessel was lawful prize. The
opinion of the district court for the
southern district of Georgia was there-
fore affirmed. Justices Shiras, Gray,
White and Peckham dissented
An opinion was also handed down in
the case of the Spanish steamship Pana-
ma sailing from New York to Havana.
which was captured as prize off Ha-
vana on April rs, 1898. The vessel was
carrying United States mail, but was
owned by Spanish corporation and
was under contract as Spanish mail
vessel and carried arms as such. The
court held that this veseSl was law
full prize and therefore affirmed the
opinion of the court below. Justice
Peckham dissented.
