Percy Toombs and John Tierney,
plumbers, were sent to overhaul the
plumbing in vacant house at No. los
Edgecombe avenue. New York, which has
never been occupied. While at work in
the bathroom on the second floor the two
men noticed an odor and traced it to a
small closet In the closet the plumbers
found the bodies of two boys. One of the
bodies was almost nude and there was
very little clothing on the other. Part of
the clothing of each hung on hooks in the
closet wall. The police were notified, and
at the station somebody recalled the fact
that last August Charles Beirne and Mar
lin Loeffier reported the disappearance of
their two sons. Charles Beirnes, Jr., one
or the boys, was IL years old and Wore
spectacles. The other boy, Martin Lief
fer, Jr., was 9 years old. The boys left
their homes ON Aug. 3, as they said, to
go nutting. Detective Price suggested
that they had gone into the house, filed
the bathtub with water, and were splash
ing around in it when they heard the
caretaker coming upstairs. Hoping to
hide from him they jumped from the
bathtub and ran into the closet with their
clothes, pulling the door to after them
and swapping the lock When they tried
to get out they We're prisoners and died

GEESE THAT LAY GOLDEN EGGS.
Kansas Wadd1ers Pick Tiny Nuggets
Out of Creek Sand.

Out of Creek Sand.
The goose that lays the golden egg has
been found. and he is Kansas bird.
There is not only one of him. but whole
flock. Mrs. Mursell, who lives at the
mouth of White Clay creek, sluggish
stream that empties into the Missouri
river just below Atchison, is the owner
of the birds. One of Mrs. MurselTs
geese was sacrificed tor the Christmas
feast. When she went to clean the craw
she discovered that it was filled with
what at first appeared TO be minute grains
of sand. The brightness of the stuff and
the curiosity it excited led her to keep II
to show to her neighbor. The neighbours
husband, who is an old miner, saw it and
at once pronounced it gold-almost pure
gold. Tests made at the jewelers. subse-
quently corroborated the miners opinion.
Discovery led to investigation. \ goose
egg was analyzed. 1t was perDieated with
gold. Egg after egg was subjected TO
the test, and not one failed to SHOW traces
of gold. A brickyard is located in the
vicinity of Mrs. Mursell's home. The mud
for the manufacture of the brick made al
these yards is pumped or sucked from the
Shiny bed of White Clay creek. A vast
yard of it is constantly kept on hand.
This oozy mass is the favorite haunt OF
Mrs. Mursell's geese. They waddle in it
and eat il all day long. An analysis Of
this mud shows that it contains gold. A
further analysis of the manufactured
brick shows a percentage of gold in every
one. Almost every house in Atchison IS
constructed of these bricks. and minute
particles of gold in the brick can be seen
with the naked eye-yery distinctly under
a microscope.

the Lawrence, Odderhole and Fix faml-
lies. The storm leveled them. Mr.. Cd
derhole and Mr.. Lawrence received seri-
Gus injuries, and members OF the flX
family were wounded. Harry Fix and
his sister, Sophie, were asleep in the
same room on the second floor. The house
seemed to separate, and brother and SIS

ground floor. There they were found up
on their touches, which had not been
broken by the fall, Harry not injured IN
the least, but Sophie was crushed under
a falling timber.
In St. Louis the storm was felt in great
fury. The wind blew at velocity OF
sixty miles an hour. The barometer fell
to the lowest point ever reached IN that
city. A hard thunderstorm accompanied
the wind, adding terror to the scene. One
woman was killed and several persons
were hurt. Scores of buildings were un-
rooted, and great damage to property
was Occasioned.
The greatest damage was to property
in the burned district, between Franklin
avenue. Morgan street, Third and Sixth
streets. Here 1900 worth of property
was destroyed. At S27 North Third street
the four-story building occupied by the
George Benton Commission Company and
the Sage & Richmond Commission Com
pany, and filed with produce, was blown
down. 1t was next door to one of the
buildings destroyed in Sundays ire, and
its walls had been weakened. Nobody
was injured here. At the ruins OF the
Penny & Gentles department store,
Broadway and Franklin avenue, cupola
left standing at the west end of the north
wall and a huge brick chimney topped by
a tall sheetiron smokestack were carried
down by the force of the wind. Police

SWEPT BY A TORNADO
TERRIBLE wlNDsToRM AT COL
LiNSvILLE. Ill.
Many People Injured Several Build
ings Blown Down and Other Prop
erty Ruined in ST. Louis,
Especially in Burned District.

A fierce storm sweeping eastward from
the British Northwest burst over the lit
tie town of Collinsville. H., Thursday
and almost wiped it out of existence. The
storm also did much damage in st. Louis.
In Collinsville houses, barns, trees and
people were caught in the tornado's fury,
and the whole country in the vicinity Of
the village was laid waste. Nine persons
were injured, some of them fatally Fine
residences and miners novels We're crush
ed to splinters. Telegraph poles and wires
were leveled, and tangled wreckage was
strewn over the earth for miles around.
The cyclone struck the hamlet in the
darkness just before O'Clock. Miners
who lived ON the outskirts of the settle
ment first felt its wrath and We're awak-
ened by terrible sound and BY their
roofs crashing in over their heads. To
add to the terror of the situation fire
started in the debris of some of the
houses and threatened for time to add
a holocaust to the disaster. Eleven per-
sons, at least, were seriously injured, two
of them being blown several hundred feet.
Collinsville is twelve miles from St.
Louis on the Vandalia Railroad The
wind struck at point a mile south of the
village and demolished the cottage of
Frank hobart. From there it rushed
north, wrecked the frame houses of the
miners who live on the outskirts of the
village and left the occupants burned and
bleeding in the debris. Three large resi-
dences which stood on a hill above the
town were reduced to splinters. The inn
mense smokestack on the Hight Club
Coal Company's building was toppled
over like tenpin, and the walls were
shattered. The Vandalia tracks for a
quarter Of a mile were blocked with
wreckage.
After the hobart house was blown
down group of three dwellings was fell
ed by the wind. They were occupied by
John Marquette and Paul Marquette and
Philip Crossan and their families. Al
though the small dwellings were demol-
ished, all the occupants escaped injury
except John Marquette. His injuries
from falling timbets are not severe but
he is badly burned, for debris caught fire
from an overturned lamp and the flames
reached him before the neighbors could
rescue him. hobart and his son and
daughter lay in the ruins of their house
for hours before they were rescued.
Beyond the Vandala tracks stood a

This unequal artillery duel kept up for
while, when word was received from
Butler ordering retreat. Little difficult
ty was encountered in effecting retire
ment. The Beers, as on previous occa-
sions, failed to follow up their apparent
advantage.
There had been no secret that this at
tack was merely a feint, and officers and
men were equally gratihed to learn that
their share in the days program had been
complete success. Meantime the real
attack had been quietly pushed ahead,
from a point north of Doom kop under
cover of naval guns massed on Swarts
kop and Doom kop. The engineers con-
structed pontoon bridge directly facing
the rising upland known as Krantz kloof,
on the north side of the river. Amid the

Then the word was given for the in
fantry to advance at lively gait, and men
in khaki swanned from every quarter in
the direction of the pontoon bridge, cross
ing without attracting the Boer fire,
which was still busily engaged with
Wynn's brigade on the left.
Vaal Krantz. which is the summit Of
krantz kloof, was quickly stormed by the
British infantry, supported by seven bat
teries of artillery. With a wild rush the
men scampered up the hill bayonets fix
ed, every nerve braced for the expected
rifle fire, which the Beers have hitherto
reserved till well within short range
The Durham light infantry assailed the
lower ridges, while Hildyard's brigade
made for the ioftier heights. Every at
tack was a complete success. The Beers
mistaking the feint for the real attack
were caught mapping for the first time in
this campaign.
Gen. Butler cables: "Our further ad-
vance is at the moment prevented, as the
Beers enflade us from their positions on
Spion kop and Dorm kloof. Our casual
ties, although estimated at $50, are
triflng. considering the great Importance
of the movement just concluded"
Almost simultaneously with Buffers adj
vance in Natal, Gen. Macdonald in the
western field of war began movement to

object of relieving the pressure on the
latter's front. In the center of the Brit
ISL position at Sterkstroom and Coles
burg, the British began to move forward
and, with their strong re-enforcements,

against the Beers from all points at once

SAND RIGA WITH GOLD.
There Will Soon Be Great Stampede
for Cape Nome.


for Cape Nome.
The coming stampede to the new gold
fields of Cape Nome, Alaska, promises to
eclipse anything of the kind in recent
years. Communication cannot be opened
before May, bat the summer viii see an
influx of fully 10000 miners into this
newly discovered field. There were 1000
men there last year and the stories Of
their success have spread far and wide.
Gov. Brady is much worried over the
question of how order is to be preserved.
The richest deposits are on the beach be-
tween the low and high tide marks and
no title can be given to claims. Last
summer the miners agreed to respect one
another's rights. but when the rush comes
there will be many clashes and doubtless
much bloodshed. The field is extremely
rich and is easy to work. Last summer
about SO. 100000 in gold was taken out,
one claim paying $4,000 in FIVE weeks.
One of the steamers took 800 tons of
sand shoveled at random from the beach
to San Francisco last year. 1t was put
into a big smelter there, and yielded 3d.
900 in gold The beach has been pros
pected for fifteen miles. Nobody knows
where the gold came from. Some think
it was from the hills. brought down by
glaciers, and some think it was thrown mp
by 4 volcano.

FOR AN. ACCURATE CENSUS.
Plans for Enumeration of Abseutees
from Large ities,

Plans for Enumeration of Abseutees
from Large titles.
Gov. Merriam, director of the census,
is preparing special plans for the enumer-
alton of large cities and expects to be
able to secure returns not only of the
people in the city, but those who are ab-
sent for their summer vacations in the
months when the enumeration is made.
He will appoint special agents to have
charge of districts in such cities as New
York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia.
Elaborate maps have been prepared
showing every house in every street IN
these cities and the enumerators by fol-
lowing these maps can ascertain the num-
Der of occupants of each house and re-
port to the special agent the houses which
are vacant and those whose occupants are
out Of the city. After these reports have
been turned in the special agents are in
structed to conduct Il personal investiga-
ton with regard to vacant houses so as
to ascertain whether they are permanent
ly vacant or whether the people who oc-
cupy them are absent for a time. In this
way Director Merriam hopes TO secure a
correct enumeration of these cities and
escape the criticism of the last census.

Story of Woman Who Witnessed the
Kentucky Tragedy.
Mrs. Amelia =. Saffei, widow of the
late William s. Saffel. Jr., who keeps a
boarding house on Broadway, west of the
capital square, in Frankfort, KY, states
that she saw Senator William Goebe
shot in the state house yard on Jan. 80
last. Mrs. Safel says she was going
toward the adjutant generals office; that
Goebel had just passed her, and had
spoken TO her, when she saw man, who
was slightly behind him and only few
steps from him, draw pistol and with
his left hand fire at the Senator. She
says he then ran into the state house, and
shortly afterward ran out and to the
wounded mans side.
Mrs. Saffel says she is positive this
man, whom she did not know, fired the
fatal shot. She saw the thin, white
smoke come from his revolver as he fired.
She is equally as positive that no shot or
shots were fired from the executive build
ing. She says there were two other Wit
nesses, a man and woman. and that the
statements of all three, which corrobo-
rate each other. have been for several
days in the hands of Gov. Taylor.

New Business Light, but Trade Is Fa-
yorabIe-Dun's Report.
K. G. Dun q Co.'s weekly review of
trade says; The industries are still sur
passing in actual output the work of any
previous year. Their new business is not
correspondingly large, nor could such or
ders be accepted by most industries if
offered, but enough are coming to prevent
stoppage of works or much decline in
prices. In wooden goods new business of
remarkable volume sustains a marked adj
vance in prices and in other lines of i'm
portance, as in machinery, orders indi-
cate a surprising foreign demand. Cotton
followed its rise from s to SH4 cents last
week by a further rise to 500 cents, with
growing belief that the crop will prove
short enough and the consumption large
enough to give holders quite their own
way. The decrease of receipts in Jan
uary was 253, 900 bales, or 20 per cent.
The exports in January were smaller
than last year by 370000 bales, over 30
per cent. Failures for the week were
24o in the United States, against 2l7
last year, and thirty-three in Canada
against thirty-five last year.
