We would commend an article on
barren zones, recently published in
the Mining & Scientific Press, to ten
derfoot mining investors. In this
country the barren zones are usually
met with at or near the water level.
where the ebb and flow OF the ledge
water has leached out the minerals and
left the ore comparatively barren. In
the process of natures mining the
barren zone may be hundreds of feet
above the present water level in the
mine, but it is this teaching process
that has left these barren places in the
veins of this country.

HAVING ITS EFFECT.
Deportation of Leaders Will Prob-
 ably Settle Tampa Strike.

Tampa, Fla. Aug. 7.-The Resisten- cta Union of cigar makers has chang ed its position with relation to the strike several times today. This morn ing the strikers were taking an obli- Eation to leave Tampa in a body and never return under any circumstances. This afternoon they issued a statement saying that if their leaders are return ed to them they will then be ready to arbitrate and settle. They declare they will do nothing until this is done. Citizens say they will have a long wait.
 It seems to be positively settled to- night that the deported strike leaders are beyond reach and this is impress ing itself upon the strikers minds. La Resistencia has been telegraphing to Key West and New York all day try ing to employ attorneys to come here and take their case, but with what success is unknown. This action was upon the belief that the men were in jail. They are not confined in jail. From their vacilliating moods it is in- terpreted that the strikers are waver- ing and will soon be ready to reason and resume work where they left of. Tampa served them with notice today that if they desire to leave in a body they can do so without objection be- ing raised.

Birmingham, Ala, Augu. 7.-With ag- onizing screams and his eyes bulging from his head, John Wesley Penning- ton, a negro, was burned at the stake near Enterprise, Ala, before crowd of 500 enraged and determind citizens of Coffee County this morning.
 The assemblage was composed of both whites and blacks, and though the suffering wretch pleaded for mercy and frantically endeavored to break the chains that tightly bound him. not a trace of sympathy was shown on the hardened faces that peered at him through the flames.
 Pennington had committed a brutal assault upon Mrs. J. C. Davis, the wife of one of the most prominent far mers of Coffee County, and confessed his guilt.
 Pennington's Crime.
 The crime was committed yesterday afternoon while Mrs. Davis was gath ering vegetables in her garden. She was stopping over plucking tomatoes when Pennington slipped up behind her and threw her to the ground. He choked the fear-stricken woman into insensibility, accomplished his inten- tion and fled through the woods near by.
 As soon as she regained her senses. Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and told her husband what had happened.
 A large posse was quickly organized. and with bloodhounds they chased the negro until early in the morning, when he was captured in a swamp.
 Pennington was bound hand and foot and taken back to the Davis home for Identification.
 Word of the assault on Mrs. Davis had been sent by runners, for. rplles around Enterprise. and every farmer tn the neighborhood had left his blow to ioin in the search. Some of them were too late to join the pursuing party and went to the Davis home and quiet ly awaited their return.
 The messenger travelled quickly, and when the posse arrived this morning with Pennington there were at least 800 persons gathered near the Davis residence.
 Carried Before Mrs. Davis.
 A great shout went up when the pris- oner was seen by the crowd, but at a signal the men withdrew to the woods and quietly awaited the result of the meeting between Pennington and Mrs

Davis.
 Mrs. Davis immediately recognized him and the negro broke down and wept.
 He admitted having committed the assault and pleaded for mercy. but the trembling man was dragged from the house and into the woods where the crowd had gathered.
 Evidently expecting the confession. several of the citizens had already driven a stake in the ground and as the men approached with Pennington both whites and blacks were piling brushwood around the iron pipe.
 The negro saw his doom and with an awful scream of terror fell to the ground in a faint.
 He was quickly revived and dragged to the stake while the crowd stood silently by.
 The frightened man was limp and had to be held up while the chains were fastened around his neck and body.
 The Match Applied.
 When all was ready the cry was giv- en and the crowd stood back. A match was applied to the pile and with oil to feed upon the tiny flame soon burst into a roaring fire.
 The terrified negro in vain pleaded for mercy in the most agonizing tones and prayed to God that those around him might perish. He then called up- on the Maker for forgiveness and as the flames leaped up and encircled his neck an unearthly shriek was heard and the mans eyes had almost bulged out of their sockets.
 By this time the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be seen except a wrigging motion in the cen- ter of the circle of fire.
 A deadly silence enveloped the awful sight and in a few minutes the flames had sufficiently subsided to see that Pennington's head had fallen forward and hung Imply over the iron chain The body was quickly consumed and all of Pennington that remained p'as a pile of ashes.
 The crowd then quietly dispersed.
 Pennington raped and cut the throat of negro woman near Coffee Springs. Geneva County, and was in the act of raping another negro woman when he was captured About 800 persons wit messed the burning, both white and black, and all shouted for joy as the flames cracked around the negro.

AT DEATHBED OF EMPRESS.
Passed Away With Her Hand Clasp
 ed by Her Son.

Berlin. Aug. 7.-Some comment has been made in the press upon the fact that but few details Of the last mo- hnents of Dowager Empress Frederick have been given to the public. The Frankfurter Zeitung now prints the following particulars:
 Emperor William and the Empress were at the bedside from 5;30 a. m. un- til the end. Frequently the Emperor warmly clasped his mothers hand. She was fully conscious until noon and suf- fered great agony. Then she gradually became unconscious. Soon after D. m. the physicians gave a sign that dissolution was approaching. The Elm eror grasped her hand and held it un- til the last, the other members of the family kneeling silently around the bed

HAD OPPOSITE EFFECT.
Increase in Wages Caused Diminu-
 ton of Workmen.

Chicago. Aug 7.-Efforts of the mem bers of the National Founders Associ- ation to break the strikes of the ma chinists and iron moulders have ap- parently failed. Men formerly em- ployed by the manufacturers show no disposition to return to work today.
 Instead of the professed increase in wages having the effect of increasing the number of men at work 1t dimin- ished the forces of the employers. When the action of the national foun- ders association is offering $4.60 and $475 a day to their men became known holders employed by two companies who belong to the association quit work. They had gone back to work and had agreed to accept the terms of the manufacturers who had offered them $2.65 and $2.s5 day When they learned that non-union men were be- ing offered wages considerably larger than the scale paid them they refused to remain in the shops.
 They are now picketing the shops where they quit work in order to pre- vent non union men from taking their places.

WHEAT FIELD IN SHIPS HOLD.
Freak of Nature I'm n British Tramp
steamer Presents n Strange
Sight,

field of grain in a steamships hold
was one of the curious sights recently
seen in the port of Philadelphia. The
vessel was the British tramp Elwick.
Many persons were attracted to the
ship to view the interesting exhibit,
says report from that city.
The Elwick, under command of Can't.
Clark, has been running between Phil
adelphia and English ports, carrying
wheat and corn in bulk. She returned
from the other side on her last voyage
partially ballasted with dirt. 1t was
owing to the latter that the growth of
grain was possible.
The interesting discovery was made
bya foremast hand who had occasion
to go into the hold. He reported to
the captain that the Elwick was grow
ing wheat crop. Capt. Clark made
an investigation and found that such
was indeed the case.
Many grains of wheat remained
secreted in hooks and corners in the
hold after the ship had been dis
charged on the other side, and the
pitching of the vessel on her trip to the
United States caused them to ia II upon
the dirt, The grain soon sprouted in
the warm and damp hold and il now
presents remarkable appearance.

that every one escaped with his life. Mr..

that all the records and papers, including

Gus parts of the country, the most of
them going to Chicago, Louisville and In

JOHN G.. MILBURN.

scribed the examination of Mary Melan-
do and denied that the recorder had a
right to mention her creed to her or admit
several portions of her testimony as evil
dence.
Senator Hin, fresh from the leash of
nearly two days silence, was equally Wig
orous. After explaining his connection
with the appeal he plunged into IA review
or the case which was an argument tend
ing TO show the guilt of the defendant.
lie strongly defended the course of Re-
corder Goff and Assistant District Attor-
ney Osborne and amply justified the theo-
ry and policy of the prosecution in their
entirety. Starting with the theories of
the people as to the killing of Mrs. Adams
and Barnet, he followed them through
their lines of reasoning and contcnded for
thelr stability and acceptance. He insist
ed that the people had the right to show
how Barnet died and insisted that n COM
plete reconciliation of the two cases was
possible. He avowed that the prosecution
was within its rights in showing the re-
latiOns of MolineuX and his wife prior TO
their marriage and asserted that it was
the people who had suffered when the
recorder ordered the evidence stricken
out. He said Mrs. Molineux had called
her marriage romance He called il a
tragedy.
Alf. Iilll took up successivcly the yari-
0us mysterious letters written under the
names of Cornish and Barnet upon the
blue paper crested with interlaced cres-
cents and forcefully adjusting them in
their places in the theory of the prosecu-
lion, dramatically proclaimed the alleged
guilt of the prisoner and insisted that the
state had conclusively proved its charge.
lie dwelt upon the description of himself
given by the writer of the Marsdon dag
nosls blank and assented that the person
described was MolineuX. He pro,
nounced the weight of evidence against
the accused as overwhelming and said
that no defense had been made because
none was possible.
