Henry Hollands Writes OF
Washington.

Henry Hollands has written a
letter to his friend L. l.. Con-
right, describing his new home
at Puyallup, Wash, in which he
says:
All of our party have good health,
MI. Parker has got rid of his rhuma-
tism and is gaining in flesh. Myself
and wife keep we'll, but don't know as
we are getting very fat. We however
like the climate. The rainy season
as it might be called has set in: the
past week has been mixed up with
sunshine and rain; some days 1T has
rained half the time, sometimes show
cry with sunshine between showers,
but the weather is mild. Roses out
doors are in bloom, and grassi is green
and growing as in June.
| see no one making preparations
for winter, unless to haul in their
wood and have it dry; about half the
people have their vegetables yet in
the ground. | have seen more car
rots, potatoes and root crops grown
to the acre here in this valley than
any other place in my life; Mr.. Parker
and myself secured a tree to cut up
for fire wood last week, from q party>
living about a half mile from us: this
party had 10 or IL acres OF bottom
land cleared, and planted with vegeta-
bles, he had should say aboutquarter
an acre of carrots, be had pulled
barely quarter Of the patch and sold II
tons; the carrots were sOwn in rows
20 inches apart, but stood in the rows
close together, so that he could get
the tops of 4 or 5 and sometimes more
in one handful and without any tool
whatever easily lifted them out. OFF
from less than 5 acres he hauled
away 1000 sacks of potatoes. | en-
close you a little leaflet gotten up by
the board of trade of Puyallup, and
l q say from my own observation
the root crops are not over-estimated.
There are scores of people around
here cultivating from / acre up to 10
or more with fruit and garden stuff
and they all seem to find a good
market. / heard from q reliable
source, that the Fruit Growers Assoc
citation secured orders for IA car OF
small fruit such rs raspberries and
blackberries last season more than
they could fill. Shipments were net
ting 81. SO per crate of "a boxes.
So far as work is concerned I
believe an industrious man car
secure work the whole year; of course
in working outdoors one would loose
some time during the winter months,
but he a live cheaper than he q
in Milbank.
Rent is less, and fuel is but a small
item, flour and meat is less, but eggs
and chickens are higher and also
butter. A COW can be kept very
| cheaply here, as COWS are allowed to
run the streets, and grass is plentiful
everywhere, q little hay and bran is
| all they need. / have tried to give
you some idea of the surroundings
here, although they may not tally
exactly with eastern Washington.

Journal. Nov. %, 1902.
The latest.in the merger line is the
consolidation of the Union Granite Co.
and the Ortonville Granite Works. A
deal was made this week whereby the
Ortonville Granite Works becomes the
owner of the Union company quarry,
machinery and business. The wne
of the later company will enter the
employ of the Ortonville Granite
Works. This latest move with the
advent of abundant outside capital
also, places the company in a position
ito revolutionize the granite industry
in this place. New and expensive
machinery will be put in together
with side tracts to the quarrys and
by spring this company will be in a
position to handle any contract for
building or monumental stone. There
is no question but this company now
controls all the best granite in
this vicinity which is no doubt the
best in the world. The improved
facilities will naturally lessen the
cost OF production and thus increase
the demand There is a probability
that more than two hundred men will
be employed by this company next
season.

MINERS BLOWN TO PIECES.
Twenty-two Killed by Explosion In
Dayton tTcpn) Mine.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April L.
At 4:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon an
explosion of gas in the Nelson mine of
the Dayton Coal and Iron company at
Dayton. Tenn, ignited the dry coal
dust in the mine and caused a terrific
explosion. Twenty-Five men are known
to be dead.
Gas exists i'm the Nelson mine, and
the men are required to use safety
lamps. 1t is the rule of the company
for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day, and there
are workmen known as "fremen" who
go through the mine after all the min
ers are out and set off these blasts. The
miners quit work at 4:30 o'clock yes
terday afternoon. 1t takes them about
forty-lve minutes to get out of the
mine
The two "firemcn" who are supposed
to have caused the explosion are Lark
Hunter and John Harvey. They shot
the blasts about 4 45 o'clock before all
the miners could get out of the mine.
Ii is supposed that one of the fuses was
defective and resulted in what is
known as the blown blast" The flame
shooting out from the blasts ignited
the gas, which in turn ignited the ac-
cumulation of dry coal dust in the
mine.
The explosion that followed was hor-
rible in its intensity. 1t shot out of the
mouth of the mine and completely
wrecked the shed at the mine entrance.
Three men were killed while standing
outside the mine and two seriously and
one fatally injured.
The force of the explosion literally
mangled and tore bodies to pieces.

Lippinoott's Magazine for April,
America vcisus England In Travelling Ac-
commodailons.

In speaking ofrallway travel abroad,
as compared to the luxury to be found
IN the United States, William Howard
Francis says in the April LibbiRton.
"The English arrangement of seats
is such that one.half the occupants
must always ride backward, and the
available space for ones feet is usually
SO limited as to render necessary
nice mutual adjustment of the pedal
extremties OF all concerned. Most
extraordinary of all are the racks for
hand baggage, - small arrangements
with netting bottoms, s,--surmounted by
signs whereon it is written that disaster
will follow an attempt to deposit any
thing other than 'light articles there
in. The adjective 1ight has so elastic
a signihcence that the traveller hesi-
tates about trusting so much as a
shawl or hat to the insidious meshes
OF the net The welghty impedimenta,
such as gripsacks and dress.suit cases,
which every traveller must perforce
carry, become dreadful Nightmares to
be huddled on the floor or carried on
the knees, to the discomfort of ones
ne'ghbors or the misery of ones self
GA yet more serious deficiency is in
the frequent lack OF the most ordinary
conveniences. Many of the garages,
especially those below first-class, have
no toilet appliances, and unless one
is so fortunate as 10 get Garage with
a side corridor "a partial adoption of
the American idea), one is likely to
have much needless discomfort added
to the unavoidable fatigues of travel.
1t is true that certain English railway
companies, notably the London and
Northwestern, are doing much in the
way OF Improvement through the ad-
option of a carriage mo leled in GER
tain particulars upon the American
plan. The compartment division is
partly retained, but a central aisle
running the entire length renders COM
munication possible and permits of
tollet-room accessible to all The
carriage is as yet among the luxuiies,
however, and is not general"

JACKSON. Miss. April 2-After a
rise of forty feet since last Thursday
Pearl river is stationary. The river is
now four or five miles wide at Jackson.
1t is higher than ever known before
and has done incaculable damage to
farmers and stockmen. Backwater

miles of track under water on the other

three miles of roadbcd is torn up.
The Gulf and Ship Island road is in
about the same fix. and their bridge
here is damaged. There is six feet of
water over the track on the Rankin

Nearly every industry in Jackson is
stopped and hundreds of workmen are
idle because of the breakdown in the

least twenty feet under water Stories

this city. was identified by little Eloise
and confessed his crime.
The murder was one of the most
cold blooded that has been committed
In this city for some time. Mrs. Fur
bush lived with her daughters in fine
four story house. which was furnished
with all the comfort that an ample
purse could provide. Lane had been
her butler since Christmas, and be-
sides him she had another colored
servant, woman named Agnes. Re
Gently Mrs. Furhush had been missing
small amounts of money. and finally
she informed the police, who began an
investigation, which was still in prog
ress when this tragedy was enacted
suspicion fell on Lane, and Il warrant
was sworn out for his arrest
q, I
saw Mrs. Furbush on Monday night
counting large roll of bills. Know
ing where she kept the money he
bided his time, and at an opportune
moment late in the evening he stole
$40. Yesterday morning Mrs. Furbush
missed the money and questioned the
colored man, but he denied all knowl-
edge of having seen it. Expecting that
the theft would be placed on him and
that Mrs. Furbush would have him ar
rested, Lane planned to murder the
mother and her children, rob the house
and disappear.
AT the police station Lane said he
was sorry for what he had done. He
was surprised to hear that Eloise was

hesitated to kill her, but "it was nee
essary to do So" "Now that / have
been caught" he added, Il hope she
will recover. / am also sorry for Mrs.
Furbush and Madeline, but poverty
tempted me to do it, and | must now
suffer"
Later Lane was taken to the hos
pltal, where Eloise identified him. say
ing: He is William Lane, the man
who killed my mother and sister and
tried to kill me. You know you did,
William" In his presence her state
ment was taken, and Lane put the
seal of accuracy to it by saying, "Ev-
erything the child has said is true"
Lane is the son of preacher who
lives In Bridgeton and has served a
term in the Mount Holly IN. j. Jail

wind will reach $4,000,000. Twenty
two lives ane believed to have been

The section visited by the flood en-
braces one Of the richest portions of

would bring serious results. Counties
lying between the mountains on the
east and the Tennessee river on the

MINERS ORDER A STRIKE.
Ten Thousand Men Idle In Western
Pennsylvania.

Ten Thousand Men Idle In Western
Pennsylvania.
ALTOONA, Pa, April 2.-After mass
meetings Of the Rochester and Pitts
burg Coal and Iron company's miners
were held at PunXsutawney and Sykes
vile yesterday the threatened strike
was formally declared. 1t involves 10,-
600 miners and will have the effect OF
curtailing the employment of nearly
as many railroad men employed by the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg Rail-
road company, whose freight traffic will
be nearly paralyZed in consequence Of
the strike.
Not a mine worker employed by the
Rochester and Pittsburg company is at
work today except the bumpers and
track layers, 1t having been agreed to
keep these men at work to protect the
mines. 1t was decided by a vote, how
ever, that If General Manager l.. w.
Robinson should attempt to evict the
strikers from their homes, many of
which are owned by the company, the
bumpers and track layers will also be
called out and the mines allowed to
flood. 1t was also decided that any
overtures for a settlement must come
from Robinson. Any attempt to i'm
port other miners will be resisted.
