RUSSIAN wARsHIP BLOWN UP
Eixty-0ne Lives Lost-The Gar
Torpedo Destroyer Sunk by Mine
Third Accident Of Kind at
Port Arthur.

LONDON, March TIA Che Foo dis
patch TO the Reuter- Telegram Com
pany reports that the Russian torpedo
destroyer Skori has been blown up at
Port Arthur by floating mine. Only
four of her crew OF 65 men we're saved.
This is the third accident Of the
kind that has been reported. IL Is
taken in naval circles to show the
gross ~carelessness OF the Russians in
the handling Of their mines.
The New Chwang correspondent Of
Lloyds to-day wires that the reports
that the Russians are laying mines
abreast Of the fortress there are UNI
true. Business, be says, is contlnu-
ing at New Ohwang, as usual, Mr..
Crosse, the civil administrator OF the
city, is doing all In his power to
further trade interests.
The Americans and British have in
sisted that a warship be stationed at
the city.
There are no signs OF trouble, con-
tinues the correspondent, The Japan
csc, he says, will probably land at Kai
Chow Bay and cut the railroad at
Tashitichow Station, some miles back
of Port Arthur.

A WOMAN WORKS IN A MINE
Miss Minnie Petrie, Of Fulton, is 9
Digger's Helper.

FULTON, Mo-, March B.-Miss Min
ME Petrie, who lives with her
nephew, Theodore Petrie, near here,
is the only woman who has ever work.
ed in coal mines In Missouri. She is
more than fifty years old and has only
one arm. Miss Petrie it is said, be-
gan to work in the mines a few years
ago. Her nephew could not find a
mar to assist him in his work In the
mines, 50 Miss Petrle went to work.
The first day she went into the mines
in the feminine garb, and found this
style Of rainment not adapted for
work in the mines. The next day she
donned a suit of her nephew's cloth
ing and was able to get along fairly
we'll. With only one hand, this woman
loads the coal into the boxes after it
is mined and then wheels it to the
bottom of the shaft to be hoisted.

STORM AT NEW ORLEANS.
Estimate Loss at 100000 = Hail
Chokes Cutters and Water
Pours Into Store Cellars.

New ORLEANS, La, March 17.-It
is estimated that something like q
half million dollars damage has been
done PROPERTY by the severe wind, rain
and hail storm which swept oyer the
city late this afternoon. BY far the
most considerable damage done to
buildings was that suffered by the
Southern Express Company's Offices
and warehouse on Perdido street, be-
tween st. Charles and Carondelet.
At this hour further reports Of dam
age done buildings and stocks In the
variouis stores are coming in. No
lives have been lost, but three team
sters OF the Southern Express Com
pany are in the hospital from injuries
received in the collapse Of that build
ing.
In the midst OF the storm a general
fire alarm was turned In, but it was
later discovered that there was no
fire, but that the Southern Express
Company's building had collapsed.
In the st. Charles Hotel a panic was
caused by the downpour of hail on the
10000 square feet of glass roof which
covers the palm garden. Men and
women rushed to the remote parts Of
the hotel or down into the corridors
to see what was the matter, but an
explanation of the roar quieted the
confusion.
The greatest loss, probably, was
that which was done to stocks in the
stores. The hail, choking up the gut
tiers, caused the water to pour
through the Jennings of the walls,
doing great damage in many stores.

we'll he was feeling and mopped the
p~erspiration from his brow, remark
ing that the work agreed with him.
Seating himself at the table he pre-
pared to partake OF his MONDAY meal
with bis children about him, when he
suddenly grew pale and collapsed.
The alarm was soon given and
friends rushed In to render assistance,

From the Columbia Statesman
In suggesting Walter Williams as a
dark horse candidate for governor.
Col. r. M. White says Mr.. Williams
would get Republican votes, too. BE
careful Mr.. White, or you will bring
down the unquenchable wrath OF
many anti-Folk Democrats on the head
OF your candidate. This is the griev'

the code Of yellow-dog Democracy.
No candidate who wants this vote car
afford to boast that he has a Republi.

cans who think him worthy.

c. M. Shackelf0rd, a pioneer resi-
dent Of Shelby county, tells the Clar-
ence Courier Of his first experience
with an oil lamp. He was the first
man to introduce oil in the county.
Some time in the ifties he visited St.
Louis, and brought to Shelyville two
lamps and a couple Of gallons Of oil.
When the citizens of the village learn
ed Of it there was considerable excite
ment-much more than when the cleo
trio lights were turned on a few years
ago. About n hundred people gath
cred a tthe store to watch MI. Shackle-
ford take his life in bis hands. He load
ed up the lamp, turned the wick and
prepared for the illumination by fas-
tening a paper lighter on the end of a
long stick. The crowd looked uneasy,
but didn't run, and the new lighting
works were an entire success. OIL
cost 90 a gallon. Mr.. Shackleford
bought some to induce the improve
ment among his fellow citizens, but
he only disposed Of agallon the follow
ing year.
Everybody in the country used can
dies. The manufacture Of them was
allotted to the housewife and one Of
the children. There were moulds that
would bold from one TO two dozen. 1t
generally took a couple Of days to make
candles enough TO last the year, and
the homemade variety furnished a
good light. You never heard OF young
people being troubled with their eyes,
and there was absolutely no swearing
over gas and electric light bills.
