The tendency OF pipes and furnace
hnes tn ill with SCOT At this season ot
the y"ar is so marked that any snsxes-
tion nf a conve nient remedy for that
condition is worthy uf serious con-
sIierafion
A correspondent to the ST. Paul
Pioneer Press sa>s that zinc burned in
the furnace is very etf-ciive. just
throw upon the tire handful Of ziDc
filings or piece OF sheet ziuc as large
as your hand and it clears away the soot
as il by magic. Once a " eek will suffice.
Shut the d"nr quickly after throwing iu
the zinc. Our informant says his family
has used this method for forty years and
never had ocsasion to employ chimney
sweep.
AZ the Pioneer Press suggests. this
remedy is not expensive. A worn out
zinc wash board will furnish enough OF
the metal for six or eight occasions. And
il you buy sheet zinc. twenty five cents
worth may suffice for = single fire oil

Castro nt Panama.

PANAMA, March 15.-The govern ment generals Castro and Ortiz have arrived here and received one of the most enthusiastic welcomes ever wit messed in Panama. The crowds in the streets leading to the railroad station made traffic almost impossible. The cheers for the generals were deafening. Referring to the engagement at Aguaf Dulce on Feb. 20, General Castro said that the government troops, numbering 500 men, were attacked by 5000 revo-. lutionists. On the third day of the fighting both drinking water and am- munition in Agua Dulce became scarce, and General Castro ordered his troops to retreat. To do this the gov ernment forces had to break through the rebel lines. General Castro says he knows positively that of the forces un- der the revolutionary general Herrera over TOO were killed or wounded. He chara cterized the bravery of the revo- lutionists as something extraordinary.

Blackened Remains of Man Sup
 posed to Be William Kahn
 A charred, blackened human frame, supposed to be the body of William Kahn, second cook at the Scovill house who perished i'll the building when it burned on February 3, 3,nearly six weeks ago, was taken from the debris in Drescher X Keils cafe this morning. A part of the body was discovered last evening by John KeeIey of the Water bury Scrap Iron Go, who bought the old iron in the place and had q force Of men at work there getting it out. l t was too dark to remove it last night and it remained there until about 9 o'clock to-day, when it was removed from the wreckage and taken to Mori- arty'S morgue. pr T. F. Keeley. Com missioner Hardlie of the board of public safety and a few men from Moriarty's undertaking department, with MT heeleys laborers, assisted in getting the remains into box and putting them into the white hearse With the exception of one of the limbs. which became detached from the body. the remains were intact. but were burned into a unrecognizab1e mass, and people who viewed the body at the morgue thought 1t that of a colored man. The clothes on his body were not entirely burned off. His hands were clutched lightly and drawn across his breast There appeared to have been a band- age on his left wrist. which partially Withstood the ravages of the fire.
 Kahn came here from New York and had been at the Scoyill house about five weeks. He was. born in Berlin Germany, and had been in this coun- try about four years AIr Truman said this afternoon that in his efforts to get out Kahn missed the stairway i'll the Dllndlng smoke. This, he says is how the body came to be so far away from his room. But there can be no doubt as to whose body It is. Kahn was the only person in the building at the time the fire started that has not been seen since. and the Hndlng or the body proves that Frank Hodson, MT Truman and others. who contended from the beginning that the man did not get out of the building. were correct. It is hard to tell how he got from his room to the point where the body was found, but it is probable that he was tossed from one place to another when the building commenced to go to pieces. Much indignation Is felt on account of Nthe body being left there since the fire, but it does not seem as if there is much use in mak- ing q fuss about it at this time. 1t is true that some money was spent dig ging for the body but the search was made i'll part of the building where many thought there was little hope of finding it. But who could tell this!
 Medical Examiner AXtelle told q Democrat reporter that he would as. sume no responsibility i'll the premises and had turned the whole matter over to Coroner Mix. While the body was being removed q force of police off, cers had a lively time keeping the vast throng of people that crowded around out of the way.

A Train Robher,s Tate.


 CHARLESTON, $. C., March 1a.- Fishermen near Branchville have founo the half decomposed body of white man floating in the Edisto river neal where the express company's safe was found on the day after the recent ex- press robbery. Two pistols were strap, ped around the body, and in the coat pockets were found twelve express en- velopes, four of them containing mon
 ey. On the day following the express robbery the trail was traced by blood hounds to place on the river near where the body was found yesterday
 where it was lost. It is thought the robber attempted to swim across the rapid current; but, being weighted down by his clothes, heavy pistols and cartridges, he perished miserably. Those who have seen the body pro- nounce it to be the notorious Barlow Warren, who is alleged to have robbed the Southern Express company twice.
