Nearly Drowned.

Stella. the six-year-old daughter Of Mr..
A. b. Trenary, the u. S. express agent,
came very near drowning in the Tuscarora
creek. while playing with number Of
children in Tieman's bottom on Saturday.
The llttle'girl and number Of other
children were out on a romp under the
care Of her grandfather. She got almost
out Of sight of her grandfather and was
sitting on the foot bridge over the creek,
when she fell backward into the water.
Albert Lee, young coIored youth who
was near by, saw the little girl struggling
in the water, but she had gone down two
times and was gong down the third time
when he reached her He jumped in and
rescued the child, who, if she had been
left in the water few minutes longer,
would most likely have drowned. The
water was hardly over her head but she
was SO frightened that she made no eff
forts to get out.
The little girl was placed in a small ex-
press wagon and brought home, where,
after some doctoring, her parents had her
past all danger Mr. and Mrs. Trenary
are very thankful to the young boy for
his bravery and will remember him in the
future.

Talk of Strike.

Three hundred and eighty men are
employed at the stone quarries in this city
getting out between fifty and sixty car
loads of stone every day. This is not
enough of stone to supply the demand
and they cannot quarry any more, for they
haven't sufficient force Ct hands. They
pay the hands 81 a day and will employ
all they can get.
Some of the men have been heard talk
ing OF taking advantage of this time by
striking for higher wages. They have
heard that the employees at Bakerton went
on a strike and secured higher wages
and it has leaked out that some the lead
ers here are agitating a strike.

A disastrous fire at Fort Plain, n. Y.
on Sunday afternoon destroyed Clinton
Liberal institute, a college preparatory
school and military academy. The fire
broke out in the building while it was
being fumigated and disinfected, which is
usually done about this time of the year.
The building was comparatively empty,
as all of the students and most of the
faculty left yesterday for their homes to
spend the regular Easter vacation. In
two hours everything that the flames
could reach had been burned, and a great
mass of smoldering, smoking debris
marked the site of the institution. The
loss is estimated at between 100000 and
100000 and the insurance about 500, 900.

More Works and Larger Earnings.

John McMackin, commissioner of the
bureau of labor statistics Of New York
state, has issued report concerning
the affairs Of labor for the last three
months of 1899. In it he says the re-
ports of the labor organizations disclose
larger percentage of unemployed than
in the three preceding quarters, but less
percentage than in the last quarters. of
1897 and 1898. Earnings were also lar
ger than in the previous periods. Labor
organizations had grown, and the mem
bership Of the entire state was 224 1888
on Dec. 81, 1899. This is an increase of
1850. In Greater New York the mem
bership was 152,S60 against 1875 the
preceding year. The cost of projected
buildings in New York city in December,
1899. was quadrupled over that of 1898,
being $27 500, G60 as against Sc, 2S7, 1913.

Frankfort, KY, March 2S.-There
we're no developments in the assassina-
ton case yesterday, though the air was
filled with rumors of more arrests and
other new phases. 1t was reported that
a prominent man who was supposed to
be at Winchester would be arrested,
but dispatches from Winchester say
that the suspected man is not there
and that no arrest has been made at
that point. 1t is claimed that the
statement made by w. Fl. Culton to the
attorneys for the prosecution involved
this suspected man, he having been
named by Sergeant Golden in his tes-
timony last Saturday as one of the
promoters of the movement which re-
suited in bringing the mountaineers
here.
The visit of Culton to the attorneys
for the commonwealth yesterday has
caused a great deal of talking on both
sides, and while the Democrats claim
that he made a confession, the Re-
publicans say that he told nothing
whatever about the tragedy, as he
knew nothing to tell beyond the i'm
portation of mountaineers to Frank
fort. The attorneys decline to divulge
what was brought out at the meeting
beyond the fact that Culton was in
conference with them for several hours.
Twice yesterday Culton made short
visits to the hotel to see the attorneys,
but nothing new In the case has been
announced.
II. E. Youtsey, who was arrested
Tuesday will be arraigned today. His
attorneys will ask for an immediate
examining trial.
Captain John Davis is still in Jail,
no one having appeared to execute a
new bond Judge Yost, who, it is said,
has the power of attorney from
wealthy citizens of Louisville to make
bond for Davis, arrived last night, but
he could not be found to corroborate
the rumor. Stanley Milward, of Lex
ington, telegraphed here that he will
be here today and execute a bond for
Davis. Davis friends say he will be
released today.
Detective Armstrong left last night
for Eastern Kentucky, and it is report
ed that he has warrants for more Re-
publican state officers and other per-
sens equally prominent. 1t is said that
these warrants are based on informa-
ton furnished by w. H. Culton, who
is a deputy under Auditor of State
Sweeney. Culton was in the execu-
tive building previous to the incursion
of the mountaineers and at the time of
GoebeIs assassination, and it is said
he has told about conferences and con-
versations around the state building
during January. All sorts of rumors
are circulated about what Culton has
said and about his wholesale charges
against state officers.
