charge of the extra freight. 1t is said the
accident was the result of negligence of
Hagman.

BELATED CLAIM OF AN OHIO WOMAN.
Says Land of Noted Wythe Pioneer Be-
longs to Her.

Governor Tyler today received letter
from Acting. Secretary Thomas Ryan, Of
the United States Department of the In
terror, forwarding letter the Secretary Of
the Interior had received from Miss Ellen
Hughes, of Mount Grab, o., who claims
to be an heir of Christian Bingaman, noted
years ago in Wythe county for his bravery
and for the control he had over the In:
dams. In her letter Miss Hughes says:
81 write to ask information concerning
legacv that descends to us from a great
uncle, Christian Bingaman, Of Wytheville,
Va. In early days he killed a number of
Indians firing from a wigwam. The gov
eminent at that time gave him great
deal of land. 1t is in the Shenandoah
Valley and at the time of his death he
was working lead mine that belonged to
him up in Virginia. He had no heirs, ex-
cept a half sister, who was Margaret Coon,
my grandmother. In 1850 my grand
mother was certain of the estate and knew
it could be collected. At that date she
willed her interest in Christian Bingaman's
estate to my own mother, Nancy Hughes,
and the will is in my possession. She
never had it recorded. A good attorney
tells us that it is still legal. If such is the
case, please inform me how we may pro.
iced to collect"

"You will find in the United States his
tory his name and where he killed num-
Der of hostile Indians"
The use of the name Coon is believed ia
be intended for Kuhn, family by that
name having been known in the section
referred to about 100 years ago.
The records of the Office of the Register
of Lands show that Christian Branaman,
not Bingaman, owned property in Rock
ingham county in 1887, having been
granted the land under conveyance by
Governor David Campbell. His lead
mine was located there. The property in
Wythe county is not registered in the re.
cords held here and it will, therefore, be
difficult for claim to be established un-
less it is proven that this immense tract
referred to has been laying dormant for
more than fifty years.-Richmond News.

The Love of Two Girls.

There is thrilling story Of danger anc
of lost love in the October number of The
Delineator. 1t is dated back in the ro-
mantle Acadian days by the master of
Canadian fiction, Charles G. d. Roberts.
A wounded ensign beloved by two girls is
saved by both, solely because of the self
Remuneration of one, who goes back to die
in order to delay his pursuers. 1t is a
skilful piece of heart anguish done into
words. The same number has a
picturesque Chinese article illustrated by
several genuine photographs Of Chinese
women; rare thing in the present rush
of Chinese literature. The Delnea'
tor is quite up-to-date in the eighty or
more sketches of present-day styles which
are shown in its pages. For thirty years
it has been trusted by American women
for guidance in home dressmaking and
home management.

PRISONERS MUTlNY.
A Desperate Uprising of FiIipinOs In
Bilibid Prison, in Which Four are
Killed and Fifteen Injured.

Washington, Sept. 8.--Manila newspa-
pers just received at the War Department,
give details of desperate mutiny among
the native prisoners in Bilibid prison,
which resulted in the death of four and
the woundiDg of fifteen of them.
The report states that the outbreak came
without the slightest warning.
The commandment and the other officials
of the prison were going about their duties
on hot Summer afternoon, the 10Th of
July, when little wizened Filipino, sery-
ing life term, assumed a crouching atti-
tude and began to creep up behind the
native foreman, giving utterance to low
growl like wild beast.
The effect on the other convicts was
electrical. In an instant the muttering
had grown to a wild roar and every pris-
oner was making for the keepers with MUIR
der in his eye. The senior captain of the
native guard, when he commanded the
little mob to disperse, was slashed across
the back of the head with a bolO. Then
the Infatuated men started for the gateway
of the prison to overpower the guard and
escape. They were met by Major Rogers,
the commandant, and small portion of
the guard, who fired volley into the
20 lyo of tho f,0ifiroo
Three men fell and this seemed to check
the prisoners for an instant, but their lead
er, Filipino of the most desperate type,
urged them on. Though already wounded |
by the first fire, his spirit was unbroken,
and four times the rifles spoke before he
fell. Then like rats in trap the prisoners
tried first one gateway, and then another,
and very probably would have oyerpower-
ed the small guard and made their escape,
had not American prisoners themselves
come to the rescue and helped to capture
the fugltives.

Biz Bear Killed In Burke's Garden.

We are informed that bear had been
for some time killing sheep Of Mr.. Samuel
I. Heninger on bis sheep range south of
Bear Town, in Burke's Garden. Mr..
Heninger 'phoned to Grafton for Mr.. j..
Floyd Gillespie to 60 over and kill the
bear. On Monday, the 10th inst, Mr..
Gillespie, his fourteen year old son, Shark,
and G. W. Hagy went with seven hounds
to Mr.. Heninger's home. On the follow
ing morning they started at daylight to
hunt for the bear, and at seven O'Clock
started the game. After about an hours
hard fighting the dogs forced the bear to
tree and young Gillespie and Hagy came
up and shot it, The bear is said to be the
largest killed in this country for years.

Letter to Capt. C. A. Fudge,
North TazeireH, Va.

Dear Sir There are several ways Of
cheating in milk. An old-fashioned way
is to water it. Nobody waters it now. A
better way is to take out the cream-rich
milk with the cream taken out is as good
as poor milk with its cream all in.
But we needn't go into particulars.
You don't rob your milk and you, Gus
toners.
Paint is as easy as milk to cheat With.
Good paint is as rare as good milk; for hui
man nature is much the same in milk-men
and paint men.
You are just and true with your milk;
so are we with our paint. Devoe lead and
zinc is twice as good as pure whlte-lead
lasts twice as long. There's twice as much
butter in it.
Yours truly,

Death And Ruin
In Galveston.
Continued From First Page.)
FEW BUILDINGS ESCAPED INJURY.

FEW BUILDINGS ESCAPED INJURY
Very few if any buildings escaped injury.
There is hardly habitable dry house in
the city. When the people who had es-
capped death went out at daylight to view
the work of the tempest and floods they
saw the most horrible sights imaginable.
In the three blocks from Avenue N to
Avenue P, in fremont street, l saw eight
bodies. Four corpses were in one yard.
The whole of the business front for three
blocks in from the gulf was stripped of
every yestige of habitation, the dwellings,
the great bathing establishments, the
Olympia and every structure having been
either carried out to sea or its ruins piled
in pyramid far into the town, according
to the vagaries of the tempest. The first
hurried glance over the city showed that
the largest structures, supposed to be the
most substantially built, suffered the most.
The Ophan's Home, Twenty first street
and avenue M, fell like house Of cards.
How many dead children and refugees are
in the ruins could not be ascertained. OF
the sick in st. Mary's In6rmary, together
with the attendants, only eight are under
stood to have been saved.
The Old Women's Home, on Rosenberg
avenue, collapsed, and the Rosenberg
schoolhouse is mass of wreckage. The
Ball High School is but an empty shell,
crushed and broken. Every church in
the city, with possibly one or two excep.
tons, is in ruins.
AT the forts nearly all the soldiers are
reported dead, they having been in TEN.
porary quarters which gave them no pro-
lection against the tempest or the food.
No report has been received from the
Catholic Orphan Asylum down the island,
but it seems impossible that it could have
withstood the hurricane. If it fell, all the
inmates were no doubt lost, for there was
no aid within mile.
The bay front from end to end is in
ruins. Nothing but piling and the wreck
of great ware houses remain. The eleva-
tors lest all their superworks, and their
stocks are damaged by water.
The life-saying station at Fort Point was
carried away, the crew being swept across
the bay fourteen miles to Texas City. l
saw Captain Haynes yesterday, and he
told me that his wife and one of his crew
were drowned.
