special to the Leader.
Columbus, o., Aug. 5.-A romance
of the Caribbean Sea, in which a
young Ohioan, Robert Briggs, of Hook
ing county, was the chief figure, is
told by l.. B. Tussing and w. E. Mol
ling, we'll known attorneys, who have
recently returned from trip to Vene-
suela, where they have been exploring
the agricultural possibilities of that
region.
On the first trip they were accom-
panied by Griggs, student of the
Ohio State University. The party
stopped ocer at the island of Curacao,
which was settled in the sixteenth
century by a colony of Jews, who
have preserved their ancient customs
to the present day and incidentally
their dislike for intermarriage with
foreigners.
The party was royalty entertained
by the chief rabbi of the island, whose
fair daughter sang to the wanderers.
Griggs was evidently impressed, but
left with the remainder of the party,
who made his passion subject for
jest, believing it to be but tempo
rary one and knowing that no foreign
er would be permitted to intermarry
with the Curacoan Jews.
Lately, however, they have received
word that Griggs made several visits
to the island and finally won the aliec-
tons OF the young woman. An elope-
ment was next in order, and Mr.. and
Mis-. Griggs are expected within the
next few months to visitthe husbands
parents and friends in this state.

seen in the tunnel below. To keep
the dirt from caving in and burying
the workman 100000 feet of timber is
used for the cribbing. The work has
been carried on under great difficulty.
the wet weather besides washing the
hole full of dirt, broke down an aque-
duct across the cut at the far end of
the tunnel, and flooded the track bury
ing the rails for half mile under
three or four feet of mud. During the
wet season it was necessary to have
an engine to pump water from the
track and tunnel and 1t was necessary
at times to fire the boiler from the
top Of the smokestack. There is now
a pile of dirt and stone in the side
walls of the tunnel, about fifty feet
long and eight feet high. When this
is removed traffic can be resumed.
The side walls of the tunnel still hold
and the officials think that trains will
be running in ten days. After trains
dl Z tuC
above the tunnel must be filled up.
The estimated loss to the M. c. & G..
in traffic alone is $4,000, but the Of
flcials say that with all their expense
the Nj. G. & G. Ry. will come out in
better condition to handle her trade
than ever before, as the company are
contemplating the purchase Of cou-
pie of locomotives and perhaps some
new cars. A gasoline inspection car
is also to be purchased.
Besides the press representatives
the party was composed of Supt. Nc
Donald, Superintendent of Mainte-
nance of Way Hackett, and Master
Mechanic Irwin, l.. w. James, Freight
Agent. and Mr.. Storck. w. P. Mason,
special engineer for the work at the
tunnel was also in the party. The
trip was much enjoyed by the whole
party and it is hoped that no further
misfortune will delay the resumption
OF traffic by the M. G. & G.

Is Going on in. the M. c. & c.
Improvement.

BY the courtesy .ofthe officers of the
M. G. & c. r. R., the representatives
of the press of the city we're taken out
to the tunnel Sunday morning, to see
what progress has been made in clear
ing the tunnel, which caved in about
two months ago. The members of
the party were given a newly repaired
and refurnished car handsomely
painted. This car Is a fair sample of
the condition that the M. c. & G. pur-
poses to put their rolling stock in.
Besides the coach that took the party
out their were several freight cars
noticed that had been thoroughly re-
paired.
The track Is being steadily improved
during the suspension Of traffic, and Is
now in better condition than it has
been for years. The rubbish has been
cleared away from the roadside and
the track leveled until it compares
favorably with the other roads enter
ing the city.
When the party came to the tunnel
they boarded the fiat cars standing
there and were pushed to the farther
end of the tunnel where the obstruc-
tion is. Here, working by torchlight
and daylight, force of two hundred
men have been kept busy night and
day, Sunday and week day, for five
weeks handling mud and dirt. This
may, perhaps, give some idea of the
vast amount of the dirt handled. The
cave in is one hundred and ninety
eight feet from the west end of the
tunnel. The mass of earth that fell
in was seventy-two feet in length,
thirty feet in width and fifty feet in
depth. This volume of dirt has been
three times removedas the wet wealth
er filled it with mud twice after they
had got the dirt removed so that by
looking down from the surface of the
ground the men and flat-cars could be

then each poet was taken up in turn
and the contestants alternately quot

TARIFF BILL
Subject Of Lively Discussion
in Germany.

BY Associated Press.
Berlin, Aug. 5.-The tariff bill con-
Times to be discussed in a lively man
ner, and it is generally recognized
that much depends upon the attitude
OF the South German cabinet, and
during the past few days semi-offl-
cial utterances there are taken as a
cue by the North German Gazette that
the bill is only tentative. But it is re-
garded as certain that South German
officials desire considerable changes.
Regarding the bills chances in the
Reichstag it is everywhere recognized
that the balance of power will rest
with the Centrist Party. Therefore
the nonCentrist press has been eager
ly watching for indications of the Cen
trists' attitude.
Centrist papers, however, have care
fully abstained from committing them
selves. But now the Cologne Volks
Zeitung prints an editorial coming
out strongly for the tariff bill. The
editorial says that the Centrists are
ready to support the measure sub
stantially in its present form.
The writer of the editorial points
out that the United States is far less
indignant about the tariff bill than
the German liberal Press Wishes. In
this connection the Vpsssiche Zeitung
prints cable dispatch from New
York saying that Ambassador White
advises Washington to send Rockhill
here as his successor to handle the
tariff question. The correspondent
of the Associated Press wrote White
on the subject and received telegra-
phic reply as follows: Nothing is
known here about the matter"

To His Death as the Sun Was
Going Down.
Special to the Leader,

Special to the Leader,
GAINESVILLE, o., Aug. A sad
drowning occurred at Conesvile,
just over the Muskingum county line
In Coshocton county Sunday evening
about sun down.
William Ford, the nineteen-year-
old son of Daniel Ford, who lives
about mile and q half west Of Cones
vile, together with two other boys
named Turnbull and tivecoats, went
in swimming in the Muskingum river
just below the Wheeling and Lake
Erie railroad bridge, which spans the
river at that point.
Ford was unable to swim, but was
an expert diver and had little hesitan-
cy in plunging into water that was
over his head II he knew there was
a shallow spot near, to which he
could make his way under the water.
The water where the boys chose for
their sport Sunday night was 10 to Is
feet deep. Some piling stood about
forty feet out in the water from the
bank. Preparing for a dive, Ford
called out to his companions that he
was going to tunnel to the piling and
that "if do not get there I'll drown"
He dove into the water and that is the
last that has been seen of him.
When he did not reappear in a
reasonable time the other boys
tried to rescue him, but being unable
to find him they gave the alarm and
soon there was a goodly sized crowd
on the bank engaged in the search for
the body, which, however, had not
been found at late hour last eve
ming.
