Dog Drags Mother to child

Philadelphia, May 24-Seeing Agar
old Philip Brandon of Thirty-ffth and
WestmOreland streets, Falls of Schuy-
kill, imprisoned under a fallen pile of
lumber yesterday, d collie dog ran for
aid and brought back the chiId's mother
to the rescue. The dog came home
barking furiously and could not be quiz
eted. If it succeeded in attracting at
tention for a moment the dog would
start for the gate as if expecting some
one to follow it. Failing in this several
times, he finally caught the mothers
skirt in his teeth and tried to drag her
to the yards Believing the dog was
much exercised over something, she
followed him, to find her child pinned
under some boards.

MOTHER DIES OF FRIGHT.
Pleading With Her Son Not to Shoot
Woman Falls PROSTATE.

Mary T. Williams, wife of Justice of
the Peace Williams, died at East Lake
yesterday of fright and nervous pros
tratiOn, superinduced by her frantic eff
forts of last week to prevent her son
from shooting young Palmer, a How
ard college student.
Palmer whipped younger brother
of Williams because he mad been rock
ed while going to see a. young woman.
The elder Williams boy secured a pis-
toll and started to the college campus
to wreak vengeance. Mrs. Williams
followed all the way, pleading with her
son not to shoot and finally fell pros
trate and senseless just as her son lev
eled his pistol at Palmer.
The pistol was not fired, but Mrs
Williams was taken home in a critical
condition, and died yesterday.

BACK FROM MEXICAN TRIP.
Topeka Men Had a Long, Hard
Mountain Journey.

Albert Parker. B. NJ. Davies. J. NJ.
Leroy, L. H. Jansen and Dr. Hedrick
of Kansas City have returned from a
months trip in Old Mexico, which was
taken largely for the purpose of in
vestigating certain mining PROPOSE
lions along the Yaqui river.
The party went to Hermosillo, the
capital of the state of Sonora, and
then took wagons and went inland for
200 miles across the desert.
Mr.. Parker said today: They had
not had any rain down there in that
country since last August, and every
thing was burned up. There are lots
and lots of rich placer mines over on
the Yaqui river, and plenty of water
to work them. 1t is a great country,
and many splendid opportunities to
make money!

SAW AN OIL WE'LL SHOT.
Chanute ExcursiOnists Witnessed the
bringing In of a Gusher.

T s. Williams went on the excur-
of about 100 people who saw an oil
we'll shot. The we'll was one of those
owned by Charles Short, the old Santa
Fe railway conductor, who now, it is
reported, has an income of $1,000 a
month from his oil property. Will
Hams says:
There were only a few of us went
out to see the Well shot. Most every
body seemed to think the announce
ment was a fake. The man who fires
the shots at Chanute gets 5000 for
every shot. He lowered AZ quarts of
nitro glycerine into the hole, about
$50 feet. The charge has a wire at
tach ed to it, and a battery is connect
ed to the wire when all is ready.
when the shot was fired it looked
exactly like the pictures. The oil
shot out about $50 feet high. 1t was
a regular gusher, and they rushed in
and capped it in a hurry. The man
who fired the shot said that the nitro
glycerine tore a hole down there in
the ground as big as the state house.
1 asked him what became of the dirt
and he said it was crowded back. To
illustrate the terrific power of the
explosive, he said that one day some
boys found two or three cans which
had contained nitro lycerine The
cans were apparently empty, but the
boys threw some straw over them, and
set fire to the pile. There was such
a terrific explosion that hole was
torn in the ground big enough to hide
a house in, and the windows in a
house half a mile away were all
broken -

Buffalo, n. Y, May 24.-By a vote of
262 to 244 the general assembly of the

States wiped out that part OF the re-
port of the special committee on mar
rage and divorces which advised Pres

any person whose marriage is forbid
den by the church Of which that person
is a member. The committee had for
mulated this provision to help promote
the work of the interchurch conference
on marriage and divorce which takes in

setback to the conference. The re-
mainder of the report was adopted.
