Used Wooden Arm for Bank.
5000 Was Found There After
Death of Canal Bpatnan.

New Brunswick, N. j., Special,
25th, toBaltimore Sun.
When an undertaken prepared
the body of Peter Joseph Barras
for burial this afternoon he dis
covered that the supposed ,paurcr
carried his fortune in his wooden
arm.
Barras wasa canal-boat captain,
who was dro Nned near Grigo stown
on Tuesday by being thrown into
the canal through the rudder
breaking. Barras had a wooden
arm and was unable TO swim. The
body was brought to this city and
held until to-day for identification.
When the arrangements for the
funeral had been completed the
undertaken found that 1t was nee
essary to remove the wooden arm
in order to get the body in the
coffin. AS he unscrewed the false
member he detected an edge of
green paper, which he drew out.
1t proved to be five-dellar bill.
The undertaken then fished out
two more bills, and examination
showed that the entire arm was
hollow and stuffed with bills. The
undertaken secured a wire, and
by careful manipulation drew out
over 5000, mostly in one and two
dollar bills.
Barras had used wooden arm as
his bank. He was supposed to be
without funds, and was to have
been buried at his relatives ex
pense. He was Swiss and so
yea: S of age.

A Colored Woman Near NaXhaw
Gives Birth to Monstroslty
Special to The Observer.

Special to The Observer.
Waxhaw, April 26. A coIored
woman living not far from this
place, has given birth to what the
doctors pronounce q "monstrosi-
ty" 1t has the body and limbs of
a fairly well-deveIoped infant, but
its head is very much like that of
IL huge frog. The head is almost
flat on the back, the eyes being
large and in the top of the head.
Its face has somewhat of an ow-
lish appearance, but Is perhaps
more like that of frog. Drs. H.
&. Houston and j. V. Hunter
made an autopsy and found that it
had no brain whatever, it's spinal
column extending clear up the
back of the head. 1t has no neck
at all. A photograph of both
front and side views were made
and will be preserved.

Whales Left High and Dry
Caught in Slough ON Ebb Tide
Crafty O!d One Escaped.

Columbia, ). c., Dispatch, oath.
A school of eight whales, one
large and the Others quite SIN all,
entered the hnrbor of Po.. Royal
near Pmis Point. They were
feeding near shore ADD six of the
smaller ones entered II slough Mt
the deepest point.
The big whale came next and
is supposed to have touched bot
tom, for She made mighty found
er, churnt up water and mud and
finally succeededin turning around
in the narl ow channel, flanked by
mudbanks, and went plunglng to
sea, acco mrGnied by one small
whale.
Those enclosed by the mud
banks were not so fortunate. The
tide was rapidly ebblng and they
did not take the alarm till cut off
from retreat. Their frantic charge
one way and another only got
them further out of water. All
perished before low tide.
There are no conveniences in
that section for securing the oil
SO what would have heen very
valuable find in some other quar-
ters has gone to waste.
These are the first whales that
have appeared in Port Royal for
many years.

FARMERS REJOICE OVER
YESTERDAYS RAINFALL

Farmers say the rain of yesterday
was almost providential i'm its time
illness. 1t came just after the frost
had gone and the soil was in the best
possible condition to absorb moisture.
Very little water that fell upon the
level ran away. Even ponds that last
evening were full of water that had
run from the high places, this morn
ing were generally dry, the ground
having taken all the surplus. This
section of the country is still several
inches behind in the amount of rain
fall during the past few months and
a number of such dispensations as
that of yesterday between now and
time to plant corn will do good.
