eyes was entirely blind and little
sight was left in the other. He. how
ever, pursued his studies at school
and college for about 20 years, the
sight growing DINNER until gradual
ly he became totally blind.
In the spring of 1888 he went with
his fathers family to Jacksonville

copal church, serving charges in va

Mr.. Milhurn was twice elected

age, was twice chaplain of the house
of representatives, and lastly chap
lain of the senate, to which office he
was elected in 1893.
While serving charge at Mobile,
Ala, Mr.. Milburn underwent trial

COMBINE IS KILLED.
The Famous Merger of Northwestern
Railway Declared IlleGa1-GOv-
ernment Wins Its Suit.

st. Paul, Mimi, April 10.-An i'm
portant episode in the antitrust war
occurred Thursday when Judge
Thayer. of the United States circuit
court of appeals, handed down a de-
cision declaring the 100000, ,00O
Northern Securities company an
illegal corporation, enjoined it from
voting stock of the Great Northern
and Northern Pacific railroad com
panies and decreed that this stock
should be returned to the former
owners.
The decree entered in accordance
with the finding is drastic one and
does not leave single peg for the
great merger of the Northern Pa
cific, the Great Northern and the
Burlington to hang upon. The Ian
guage of the court is pronounced to
the effect that where lines of rail
way are parallel and competing such
plan as that of the Northern Sc
curities company, which places them
under control of one management, is
is contrary to the Sherman antitrust
act and is clearly in restraint of
trade.
Despite the declarations of James
j. Hill and J. Pierpont Morgan that
another plan is ready which will
stand the test of law, general opin-
ion is that the government has sue
ceeded in giving railroad combina-
tions a straight blow between the
eyes, from which they will be un-
able to recover. Immediately upon
the delivery of the decision it was
announced that an appeal would be
taken to the United States supreme
court, but as the four judges hear
ing the case were unanimous in their
findings it is not expected that the
court of last rt will interfere
with their conclusions.

Buffalo, n. Y, April 1.-THE evil
dence given Friday at the inquest in
to the deaths of Arthur r. Penneil
and Mrs. Pennell, before Justice
Murphy, will not help the authorities
IN any way to solution of the Bur-

tragedy at Genres stone quarry on
March 10, in which Pennell was killed
and Mrs. Pennell was fatally injured,
was due to accident or design, was
not proven.

A SAD DISASTER.
Big Gun on BattIeship p Iowa Exp1Odes,
killing Three Men and
Wounding Five.

Pensacola, Fla, April 10.-A disas-
trous explosion occurred on the bat
tleship Iowa Thursday, while the YES
sci was at the target practice in the
gulf. The forward port 12-inch gun
burst from premature explosion of
shell, II feet of the piece outside the
turret being demolished. Three men
were killed and five injured, two seri-
ously.
The killed are: First Class Seaman
Kiele, Ordinary Seaman Percell, and
Gunner's Mate Berry.
The injured: First Class-Seaman
Caught, Ordinary Seamen Thursdale.
Brown. Mansdale and Purcker.
The men killed and injured were on
the second or gundeck at mess. Three
pieces of the exploded gun, each weigh
ing over a ton, passed downward
through the spar deck, falling upon the
men at mess, instantly killing the, three
named. All of the men were horribly
mutilated. The heavy missiles, after
passing through the gun deck, contin-
ued down to the third deck, where they
came in contact with the armored deck,
the heavy steel bringing them to stop,
thus saving the engineers and firemen
who were al work below. Although the
upper decks were covered with men
no one there was seriously injured.
The explosion occurred just as the
mess call had been sounded. Firing
was to have ceased after the shot for
the dinner hour. The range had been
set and the Iowa was steaming along
at speed of 12 knots an hour, when
Lieut.. Reed, in charge of the forward
12-inch turret, gave orders to load and
fire. The time fuse was cut for the
range, the piece charged, breech closed
and the word given to fire. Following
the report of the gun, there was a
smothered noise as the shell exploded
midway in the gun, and pieces of the
bursted gun and shell were scattered
broadcast. Three great holes were
torn through the deck.

The new processes in tanning are
surprising. Leather used to be tanned
by soaking it for seven days in weak
solution of hemlock or oak bark to
give it color, then in pits of stronger
solution for six weeks, moving the
hides every day or so; then in "lay-
six weeks; by filling them with new
bark for another operation three or
four times. All this made good
leather, but it took from six to eight
months. To-day even the thickest hide
can be tanned by chemicals in three
hours.
