A Marvellous Watch.

One of the most wonderful watch
es in the world is that owned and
made by Major Dopping-Hepenstal
of the royal engineers. 1t is a COM
paratively small watch, not much
bigger than an ordinary lever, but
it performs a variety of services in
addition to telling the time. Itrings
an alarm bell in the morning to
wake its owner, then it proceeds to
light a spirit lamp and boil a kettle
of water and finally pours the boil
inc water into a small teapot. The
Prince of Wales witnessed the won
derful performances Of this watch
and partook of cup Of tea which
it made for his royal highness.-

THE CROWD.
ARMED CITIztNS TO THE SCENE
ONE MAN KILLED AND IN EXCITE
MENr THE DEsPEhADOEs
ESCAPE.

Sumteryille. Fla, Feb. IS. - Henry
Wilson and julius Goodwin. notorious
negro outlaws, made a savage attack
on Deputy Sheriff Lane yesterday as
he vas leading them into their cells
from the corridor. The officer was
knocked to the floor and seriously
wounded. The men then ran through
the ~jailer's residence and were at
tackled by Mrs. Lane, who was rushing
to the assistance of the officer with a
Winchester rifle in her hands. The
negroes attacked her and wrenched the
weapon from her. The woman's
screams attracted a great crowd and
negroes barricaded themselves behind
their victim and began using their
weapons on all who entered the house.
George Stafford, a young white man,
was dangerously wounded in the head
with Ii club, and William Porter, an
other white man, was badly wounded
in a clinch fight. In a few minutes
news OF the battle at the sheriff's
house spread through the town and
places OF business were closed and
scorer OF people with all kinds OF
weapons ran to the scene. The negroes
had rushed upstairs and b~arricaded
themselves from the throug below. Lee
GraharI, n of the most prominent
young men in the town, with gun in
hand, attempted to reach the second
floor, and was shot dead. In the ex-
citement following the murder the men
escaped through the back. and though
several shots were fired at them in the
pursuit, managed to get away. Both
of them are believed to be seriously
wounded.

Cole. assistant superintendent at the
East Helena smelter is dead in an un-
dertaker's establishment, and Olive
Mayne Cole, his wife. is at her home
MORALLY wounded as the result Of shote
fired b. the husband. The tragedy
occurred last evening shortly after 3
o'clock at the residence OF the couple.
There were no witnesses Il the tragedy
and the wife is SO seriously injured that
she is not able TO make any statement.
One story OF the affair is given by Mrs.
Mayne, the mother OF Mrs. Cole. Mr..
Cole came In from East Helena about
z O'Clock. Shortly after his arrival
Mrs. Mayne went out and returned in a
little while. AS h went up the steps
she heard a shot. quickly followed by
Nanother. She was accompanied by her
husband, and On entering h house
saw Cole falling to the floor. while his
wife was lying on the lounge with the
blood streaming from two wounds, one
in the head, back OF the ear, n the
other in the left breast. Lying at the
foot of the m were a number or
letters. An examination showed that
| Cole was mortally wounded and he died
before a physician could be summoned.
He hal shot himself through h head.
Mrs. Cole Is a young and handsome
woman. The theory is that the husband
found some correspondence belonging
to his wife and that there was a quar-
rel and then the tragedy.

BELL MAKES CLEAN SWEEP.
I~nsurrection I'm Batnngas Practically
Cleared Up.

Manila, Feb. IS. - Gen. ]. Franklin
Bell has practically cleaned up the IN"
surrection in Batangas province, the
troops under his command having
made a clean sweep OF the district. 1t
is not believed that all the insurgent
arms have been captured or surren-
dered, but that a number OF them have
been taken by the insurgents to other
provinces or safely hidden. The in
crease OF rohber bands in the prov
inces os Tayabas and Cavite show the
effects OF the drastic measures adopted
in Batspgas II Lagura provinces.
Gen. Bell says the people OF these lat
ter proviI ces neve realized the terrors
of war until they personally expert"
enced its hardships. owing TO the clos
Ing OF h ports and the concentration
of the natives in the towns. He believes
that the insurgen: leader Malvar is be-
coming exceedingly unpopular with the
Filipinos. and that when the natives
cease to fear his vengeance many will
be found willing to betray him. What
has bean said of Batangas province ap-
plies almost equally to Laguna.

DEATH IN A COLLISION.
Freight Train CofIides with Rear
End of a Fast Passenger Train.

Litchfield, ILL.,, Feb. ls.-Two persons
met death and five were injured yes
terday in a rear-end collision between
the Diamond Special of the Illinois
Central and a freight train at a point
five miles north of Litchfleld. The coll
lision was remarkable in that the fast
passenger was ahead OF the freight and
both trains were moving. The "Dia-
mond Special" was moving at a rate OF
twelve miles an hour when the freight
crashed into the rear sleeper. 1t is
said the passenger would have been
travelling faster had there not been
some trouble with the locomotive
mechaI ism. The engineer of the freight
engine declared that the fog was so
thick he could not see n hundred
feet ahead. Two Pullman coaches were
badly wrecked and the freight engine is
almost a total loss, while several
freight cars loaded with baled hay were
ditched.
