filled the spectators with horror. Far
down the Sentinel iissure, whose crew
asses drop in some places for thou
sands Of feet, suspended on a ledge
that jutted out from the steep side, the
almost lifeless form OF Mrs. Johns was
found by Mr.. Potter, a hotel clerk.
She was too weak to speak, but was
able by feeble signs to make Mr.. Pot
ter know that she still lived.
After trying In vain to work his way
down the mountain side TO her Mr..
Potter was forced to go to the hotel for
help. Provided with plenty of ropes
and carrying a stretcher, party OF

Mrs Johns was rescued with great

QUICK WITTED OFFICIAL
PREVENTS A LYNCHING
Deputy Sheriff Saves a Negro
From Angry Mob at New
Baltimore, N. Y.

Albany. n. Y, July 15.-The quick
wit Of a deputy sheriff at Coxsackie
prevented the lynching of James Lit
tie. a 19-year-old negro hailing from
Summerhurst. n. j., who near New
Baltimore criminaly assaulted Emma
Cole, aged IL years. daughter of JO.
seph Cole, a farmer living one mile
back of New Baltimore. The negro
escaped after threatening the child
with death. Two other children had
given the alarm. and Mr.. Cole and
neighbors met the child coming home,
and at once organized a party to scour
the woods.
A description Of the negro was sent
to nearby towns, and an hour later he
was captured on the railroad track
near Coxsackie by Roy Cutler He
confessed the assault and was locked
mp.
In the meanwhile news of the cap.
ture reached New Baltimore, and a
mob of $50 enraged farmers started
for Coxsackie, augmented by a large
number of striking Coxsaclde moulders
and river men, all frankly avowing
their intention to lynch the negro.
Deputy Sheriff Sumner Van Loon,
realizing that the coming of darkness
would mean the breaking Of the fiimsy
local lookup and the violent death Of
his prisoner, smuggled the negro out
and took him down the river on the
boat to Catskill, where there is a we'll
built Jail
The Cole child is seriously injured,
but may recover. Her father and the
neighboring farmers are in a terrible
state OF excitement and but for the
deputy's quick action would certainly
have lynched the negro. The negro
Little says he had been living in AL
bany when he started to walk to his
home in New Jersey. His confession
fully corroborates the story told by
the children.

HIT IN HEAD WITH A CUE
Charles Short Of Philadelphia Seriously
Wounded by Another Man
in Dover

Dover, Del, July 15.-Hovering be-
tween life and death with the chances
in favor of his recovery Charles Short,
n Philadelphian and expert plumber.
32 years old, lies I'm his room at the
Bayard House. with Drs. w. l'. and
Alvan Davis I'm attendance.
Short was struck down yesterday
afternoon in the billiard room of the
hotel by Jacob Russell, with a loaded
billiard cue which he broke over the
Phladelphian's head, so the warrant
alleges. which has been sworn out be-
fore Magistrate Wood. For long time
last night il was thought that the affair
might develop into murder, but DR..
Alvan Davis restored his patient TO
consciousness toward night and the
symptoms became more encouraging.
The warrants for Russell were
sworn out by Proprietor Harry L.
Ford OF the Bayard House, who had to
close his hotel early I'm the evening be-
cause OF the excitement which the
probable murder caused.
Russell is a powerful man we'll
known In Dover, and long before the
writs were issued he had made good
his escape. At least the sheriff and
constables today report him still
among the missing.
Stories by bystanders differ as to
the assault, although it is adhered to
that Mr. Short entered the billiard
robm to 10 into the lavatory to wash
/ his hands, but stopped and commented
upon the shots that were being made
/ by the Dover men. One of the players
asked him to share the contents OF his
tobacco bag. Russell particularly OBJ
/ iected TO a remark Short subsequently
made and dashed across the table to-
ward him. but WIS seized. This only
aroused his temper and he brought
down the billiard cue upon his victims

WIND AND MATER POWER.
Maps showing the Utilization Of These
Forces In the German Empire.

The Germans, more than any other
people, express all kinds Of material facts
in maps. It is graphic method OF i'm
parting information, and the Germans
give it very clearly and accurately by
photographic processes.
Among recent specimens Of these fine
maps are two in colors showing the dis
tribution, one Of wind motors and the
other of water motors. throughout the
empire.
Looking at the map which shows the
extent to which wind power is used we
see at a glance that this motive force is al
most entirely neglected in the mountain
GUS southern part OF the country. Wind
mills are chiefly confined to the wide, nat
plain of North Germany, where the WINDS
have greater force ana sweep.
1t is different with the water motors.
Looking at the water power map we soc
that except among the glacial lake re-
gions of Mecklenburg and Pomeranla,
water power is very little employed on
the northern plain. It is, however, used
to considerable extent along the southern
edge of the plain. where many streams
descend from the highlands to join the
big rivers.
But the water power map shows also
that water is extensively used to drive
machinery throughout the German high
lands OF the south. particularly along the
mountain ranges where the precipitation
is greater than in the north, and the
streams have great fall and impetus.
Very little machinery is driven by water
along the Rhine, the Weser. the Elbe and
the Oder of North Germany; which Illus
trates the fact that, as rule, great water
masses are not used for power. It is usually
the smaller volumes among the noun
iains. where there are rapid streams de-
| >cending steep, long slopes, that turn the
water wheels. These smaller stree are
supplying most Of the water power that
is utilized in Germany.
Al in other countries. however. steam
has very largely replaced wind and water
power in Germany. Among all the. manu-
factories of the empire, large and small
only 1892, or IL per cent. Of them, use
wind power; 54.2SS, or 80 per cent. use wa! er
power; and $3.50, or 80 per cent. employ
steam.
The remainder are driven by gas. pc tro-
leum. alcohol, compressed air, or cleo
| tricity.
