IN TIE LEVY COURT
Little Business Transacted at the Meeting
Yesterday afternoon

There was not much business before
Levy Court at its session yesterday af-
ternOon. Bonds for the cOnstables were
read, and the bOndsmen called to af-
firm their signatures. This they all
did without any hesitation. Mr.. Arm
strong then called the attention of the
court to some farm land down the
State which was useless, as, he said, il
was always under water. This land
had been assessed as high as that of a
more productive character in tha
neighborhood Mr. Armstrong asked
the court TO take some action in the
matter President Willis told Mr.
Armstrong to investigate the matter
and report at the next meeting.
Resolutions to reduce the assess
ments on some other farms We're pre-
sented. The motion to adopt them
was made and passed. Some discus
sion was had as to the length OF the
meeting day. Those members from
down the State referred to have one
long day in court each week than tC
have two short ones as It made il
more convenient in every way noI
them. No decision was reached, and
the question is TO be settled at the next
meeting. The court then adjourned un-
til Tuesday next.

St. Petersburg. March 15.-Details
Of the Shamaka CTrans-Caucasia)
earthquake have just arrived here. An
eyewitness thus relates his expert
ences on the first day of the disaster
''There We're two distinct shocks at
8 and il a. m. respectively but tho
people, accustomed to rumblings of
the earth, paid no heed. AT 1850 D..
m. the earth bulged up suddenly and
subsided again. People We're thrown
headlong IN the streets, and when
they arose were thrown down again.
Asphyxiating vapors exuded from the
fissured earth and filed the air
"The scenes that followed VIII
never be adequately described. Men
abandoned their families. There was
a chaos of fearful cries. The tele-
graph office went down with every
thing else in the stricken portion Of
the city. The rescue work was a
heartrending affair. Forty or more
persons We're disinterred alive. Moth
ers were brought ont dead, with life
less infants clasped in their arms.
"On the first day a father saw his
young daughter, still alive, beneath a
mass of debris lie released her,
locked his arms about her and started
away. A second shock buried father
and daughter beneath falling wall.
"There are nearly 10000 persons
shelterless. without sufficient food
without hope. The Red Cross So
ciety and the government officials
have labored to relieve the worst suf.
fering. Collections have been taken
up in The churches, but the amount
thus collected is not yet known"
On March n, 1850. Professor Abich,
noted seismologist, declared "As

II was not Shamaka's first warning
nor her last. Nine earthquakes have
been recorded at that place since

institutions there were transferred e

quake. The city lately contained %,
600 Inhabitants. II was a laughing

Elizabeth City, N. c., March 15.-
The trial of James Wilcox, charged
with numbering Miss Nellie Cropsey,
Is now on in full swing. Coroner Fear
ing testified that the body was found
in the pasquotanl river about five
yards In front of the Cropsey resi-
dence. The clothing was intact. The
legs were limp and dangling In the
water. and there was no water in the
lungs or stomach. There was con-
fusion on the left temple, and the blow
that caused it would have occasioned
unconsciousness for at least a half
hour The absence Of water from the
lungs and stomach, combined with
other facts. he said, was evidence
that Nellie Cropsey was put in the
water in an unconscious state. Cross
examination did not cause any change

Had Lost His Hat.

She was just a wee mite of wom- ar. but she fairly breathed the milk of human kindness. She had keen touch of pathos in her soul. and her sympa- thy was easily aroused by any stray pennant of distress. She was going out to the zoo with some friends on a Washington trolley car the other day. and as the car rounded the east side oi Thomas circle she called attention to the gardening of the grounds She glanced up to the heroic bronze statue of General Thomas. who. astride a plunging horse. is represented with his head barred to the breezes. his hat be- ing clutched carelessly down at the right side of his saddle. She admired the equestrian figure for few mo ments and suddenly thought she de tected something missing. She hes'- tated for a moment and then turned to her friends.
 Its too bad," she exclaimed. Its such a pity be lost his hat.

Ostrich Feathers Fashionable.

The picture hats are not complete without ostrich plumes. They are gen orally seen at their best in black or black and white. The curtain effect arrived at by lace or planting of black velvet is getting less exaggerated. and women are distinctly tired of the shep- herdess shape, either large or small. In reality it suits so few people and it has become too universally adopted by the multitude to be any longer consid- cred worthy of attention by milliners.

A Prize For ro,.,o Drying.

It would seem to be very simple matter to dry potatoes. but in Ger many, where potatoes are now exten- sively used for making alcohol anc for feeding cattle, a prize of 30.OO0 marSs (about ST.0O0 has been offered to the inventor of the best method of drying potatoes on a large scale- The cost of transportation is enormously re- duced by drying. as may be seen from the fact that three and a half tons of fresh potatoes yield only one ton of dry ones. In consequence of the re- cent developments in the use of pota- toes German farmers have gone ex- tensively into the raising of them.

FEW FACTS CONCERNING OUR BELOVED COPPER
Some of These May Interest You Even If They are Not of Vital Import anse to Miner

If They are Not of Vital Import
 ance to Mine-
 A few historical facts about copper are given by the American Metal Market as follows:
 Copper was one of the first metals extracted from ores by man.
 There are evidences that a prehis- toric race in America possessed the art of putting keener and more last ing edge on copper tools than is now possible.
 The ancient world of Greece and Rome possessed stores of copper.
 There are good reasons for believing that the Phoeuecians knew of the cop per deposits, Of Great Britain earlier than 1000 B c.
 Spain has been supplying copper to the word for 1000 years at least.
 At the beginning Of the eighteenth century the Cornwall mines in Great Biritian were producing probably over three quarters of the worlds supply of copper.
 One hundred years ago the United States. Spain. Chi't. Mexico. Canada, South Africa and Tasmania. which TOW makes S per cent of the world s copper. were not producers. or, at the most. of only g few tons each
 Great Britain produced 1000 tons of copper in 1799 and maintained its position at the head of the worlds copper properties until the end of the first half Of the nineteenth century since which time it has steadily de creased until it's output of 1899 was but $50 tons.

 Fr 1866 the Calumet & Hecla mines were opened and quickly took frs: rank amors the worlds producers oi copper.
 In 1876 the Rio Tinto mines were retopeiea after century of idleness
