coming with such suddenness that the
people in the valley could not reach high
ground
From Elk city to Foss the Choctaw
railway follows Turkey creek for a
distance of is miles. Below F'oss the
creek crosses under the Choctaw tracks
and empties into the Washita, which
the ChoctaW crosses east. The ira in
crew saw the Nall of water descending
the creek and began a race for the
bridge across the Washita The train
ten minutes later, or just ten minutes
before the bridge over Turkey creek
was swept away. A few minutes later
the bridge over the Washita was
washed out. The train finally reached
Weatherford after encountering numer-
Gus bad places in the track and was
compelled to remain there because of
Washouts ahead. Relief has been sent

Kennedy proposed to match Jeffries and

refused the terms and said he would not do

Jefsries yesterday received dispatch in
New York from Delaney advising him to
clinch the match on the terms offered by
Kennedy. provided he could not do better.
Delaney thinks that a fight between JEFF
and Fitz would draw twice as much money
as any other fight that could be arranged.
and that the champion should take that
fact into consideration when dealing with
F'ltzsimmons.
Jim Kennedy had talk with Jeffries Ia st
night at the Star Theater. Brooklyn. and
again urged him to sign articles of agree

listened to everything Kennedy had to saw

HOTELS FOR CASTAWAYS

In the Indian Ocean, nearly midway
between the Cape of Good Hope and
Tasmania, is Amsterdam Island an un.
inhabited and well.nigh inaccessible
rock, sterile, wild and wind-swept.
Yet q ships crew that has the mis-
fortune to be cast away upon II need
not perish, for here is situate one OF
the many depots for shipwrecked mar
liners, which our own and other govern
ments have dotted about on the lono
places of the earth.
This particular depot-or hotel--has
been established in large cavern on
the side of hill about 500 yards from
the northeast extremity of the island,
and contains 1850 pounds of preserved
beef, 1925 pounds Of biscuits, 10 wool
en- shirts, 10 pairs of cotton drawers,
10 blankets, and soldered red box in
side which are four packets of
matches. There are also cots for
sleeping on a cooking pot and guam
tity of dry wood, while hard by cab.
bages and celery grow wild, and fish
and Holsters abound near the only
landing place.
The officers of the French man.of'
war, Eure, who established this store,
also planted two Hagstaffs, and mid.
way between them cross, with
view to assisting possible castaways
to locate 1t. Having landed, the ship
wrecked mariners are instructed to
climb to one or the other Of these
hagstaffs, from either Of which the
cross can be plainly discerned. One
of the arms points directly to two
ruined stone huts, little way beyond
which is the cavern, the entrance to
which faces seward.
Sixty miles north of Amsterdam ISL

a hut of rough stones with matched
roof, which has been specially erect
ed on the northern side Of the crater
Of the extinct volcano whose lavain-
crusted sides occupy practically the
entire land surface Of the island. The
provisions and clothes are similar in
kind and quantity to those mentioned
above; but, rs an extra precaution,
they have been packed within thirteen
iron.hooped barrels coated with tar
and sand and secured under a tarpau.
lin. On the door of the hut is an in.
scription in French: "Victuals and
clothing for shipwrecked sailors"
France is not alone in this peculiarly
praiseworthy work of mercy. Great
Britain is constantly establishing sim.
liar depots on lonely. uninhabited isl.
ands, the majority Of which have at
some period or another done good ser.
vice in saving life. but some of which
remain undisturbed year after year.
