A SHORT SESSION.
Judge ToWner Holds Court One
Day and Adjourns Until
Next Tuesday,.

Judge Towner arrived from his home
in Corning Monday on the K. & w.
evening train, and convened the March
O'Clock. The grand jury for the term
following members: Foreman, 7. 7.
Beck, Geo. o. johnson, j. W. Osborn,
]. F. CARRIER. Geo. w. Sears, G. D.
Vanderpool, John Lawrence.
Ex.Sherif Geo. f. Wolever was ap-
appointed bailif and q. A. Wood clerk
of the grand jury.
1t was expected the March term of
the District Court would last nearly if
not all of three weeks, but the bottom
dropped out suddenly Tuesday and the
result is there will not be much court
here this term. The case of state VS..
Ira Hammond, who is under indictment
as accessory of DR.. j. w. Croford in
the murder of Maud Stone, for which
crime DIR. Croford is now serving
thirteen-year sentence at Ft. Madison,
was set for trial at this term and this
case would have taken at least week,
but on Tuesday the attorneys for the
defendant filed motion for change of
venue with numerous affdavits of resi-
dents of this county who swore they
did not think he could secure fair trial
in Decatur county. The attorneys for
the state resisted the molten but Judge
Towner, after carefully considering the
matter, decided to grant change of
venue and the case was sent to Ringgold
county and set for trial before Judge
Towner on Monday, April 2lst, at 8
a. m. and the witnesses were ordered
subpoenaed for that time. Expecting
the Hammond case to be tried the at
torneys were not ready with other cases.
so Judge Towner discharged the trial
jury for the term and adjourned court
until next Tuesday, when he will con-
vene court for the trial of equity cases,
which do not require jury.

Chicago, Dec. 31.-EXperiments
which it is claimed are the beginning
Of the unravelling of the mysteries OF
death have been made public by Prot.
Jasques Loeb at the annual meeting
of the American Physiological society
at the university of Chicago During
the last summer the noted scientist
was continuing a series of experiments
with the eggs of the lower marine
animals, especially those of the sea
urchin, and last night he told a group
of the foremost psychologists in Ameri-
ca that from observation of the effects
of certain chemicals upon these mi
mute bits of protoplasm he was ready
to make a tentative definition of the
heretofore unknown nature OF death.
Death, Prof. LeOb affirmed, was
not a negative process, the simple
breaking down of tissues, as it has
been regarded up to this time, but an
active agent born with the birtn Of the
egg and destined if not checked 20
gain the upper hand of the life instinct
and bring about extinction. But

CRASPS AT LIES SECRET

greater even than apparent discovery
of this death agent in all life sub
stance is Prof. Loeb's announcement
that he has been able to check it in eggs
Of the sea urchin, at least by means
of chemical agents. This, it is claimed
means nothing less than that on a
minute scale the secret of eternal life
is in he power Of mankind. The eX-
periments, Prof. Loeb says, were
simple. The unfertilized egg Of the
sea urchin were placed in weak soiu
ton of potassium cyanide and aban
doned for several days. In ordinary
condition an unfertilized egg dies in
a few hours destroyed by the death
agents born with it. At the end OF
several days the eggs were again eH
amined and found still capable of fer
tilization and Of producing healthy ami
mails In explaining the results Loeb
said the "mortiferous processes" were
due to the actions Of certain ferments
of an unknown nature, whose destruCt
i've tendency was counteracted by
potassium salts.

SusQuehanna Rising.
Lancaster, Pc, Dec. 31.-The Sus-
Cuehanna river yesterday was stu
rising. The most dangerous point ap-
pears to be at Safe Harbor, where the
Conestoga empties. Here the water
continues to rise at the rate Of six
inches per hour. The water now
covers Port Deposit and the Column
Lia tracks and the public roads. The
ice on the river is not yet broken and
il it goes, it is feared a great gorge
will result at Star Rock. People at
the latter place have abandoned their
homes and taken to high ground.
Floods in Virginia.
Richmond, Va, Dec. 31.-There was
a tremendous rush Of water down the
James river Monday night and yester
day Owing to the fact that the wires
are down along the James river dlvl-
sion of the Chesapeake and Ohio,
nothing can be learned definitely of
the conditions. 1t is expected, basing
calculations on precedents, that the
water here will reach it's height about
midnight and fears are entertained
that the freshet will be the heaviest in
years. No fatalities have been re-
ported. The Rappahannock took a
tremendous rise, putting the Freder-
icksburg gas works and electric light
plant under water and plunging the
city into darkness. Luray reports a
great freshet in Shenandoah which has
seriously interfered with the running
of trains.

Texans Seriously Object to Waiting

Austin, Texas, Jan. 1-Beginning
today railroad trains in Texas must
run on time or incur the penalty of
the law. This is by virtue of the re
cent order of the state railroad com
mission which decided that trains
must be operated in accordance with
their published schedules unless de
layed by unavoidable accidents. The
action of the commission is a source
or qualification to the travelling public
which has long complained that many
Of the roads ran their trains more tt
suit their own convenience than tina
Of their patrons. Hereafter the roads
must keep bulletins posted at each
station giving information as tC
whether the trains are on time.
