ICE BATTERED BOAT
LOADED WITH DYNAMITE
Steamer Alliance for Colon
Puts in at Lewes for Re-
pairs to Plates

Dispatches received from the Mari
time Exchange at Lewes states that the
dynamte-laden schooner Alliance. from
Philadelphia to Colon arrived at the
Breakwater yesterday leaking badly ow-
ing TO having encountered heavy ice in
the river which dented her bow plates.
The Alliance, whose voyage south has
thus already been attended with mishap,
carries with her what is regarded as one
of the most hazardous cargoes ever ship
ped from this country. The dynamite is
intended for use on the Isthmus OF Pam
anna during the construction OF the canal.
The dynamite was shipped, several thou
sand boxes of it, estimated TO contain
over 200 tons, from Thompson's Point,
New Jersey.
Her cargo was twice loaded by a gang
Of men working with all the care that the
nature Of the material demanded. As she
left her wharf Wednesday there was much
speculation among those who watched
her going slowly down the river as TO
what would happen il she ever got a
serious jar on the way south.

For a period of six months I quit feed
ing bones. soon found, however,

TESTIMONY ENDS
IN CHADWICK CASE
Andrew Carnegie Is Indeh-
nitely Out of the Present
Trial
MAY GO 70 JURY THIS EVENING.

Cleveland, March lO.--Andrew Car
negie is now definitely out.of the pres
ent trial Of Mrs. Chadwick. II she
should be acquitted at this time, Mr..
Carnegie might appear at a subsequent
trial, but as far as the present case is
concerned his pay is waiting for him
and he is at liberty TO 90 home. United
States Marshal Chandler made out a
check for ss4.40 to Mr.. Carnegie's or
der, and it is held in the marshars
Office, pending Mr.. carnegie's call for
itAIf he does not call it will be mailed
TO him.
The defense made desperate ef-
fort to have the case taken from the
jury and a verdict OF acquittal rem
dered by the court. After arguments
lasting through the greater part of the
day, Judge Tayler oyerruled the mo-
ton. The defense also attacked two
counts Of the indictment, and asked
that certain parts Of the testimony Of
fered by the government be stricken
out. An admission from the judge that
he did not regard the two counts as
good" was the extent OF the satisfac-
tion secured by the defense. The ac-
quittal of the defendant was asked on
the ground that the indictment charged
her with conspiring to commit an Of
fense against the United States, in that
she conspired with Beckwith and Spear
to certify illegally checks of the Ober-
lin bank.
lot a I4r~f ha 9Nf Frr
the defense that Mrs. Chadwick. not
being an officer OF the bank. could not
certify checks, and that she could not
be charged under the law with conspir-
ing to commit an offense in conjunction
with others, which she had not the
power TO commit alone.
Judge Wing claimed that Mrs. Chad
wick could not be punished, even grant
ing the allegations OF the state. that
the checks had been illegally certified.
There was. in the. United States stat
utes, according to the speaker, no pun
ishment provided for others than Off
cials Of national anks for fraudulently
certifying checks, and therefore no
other person could be punished for GER
tifying them, OF conspiring to certify
them.
Judge Tayler. in deciding the motion
asking the removal of the case from
the jury, declared that the court of ap-
peals had covered the questions raised
by the defense. and that 1t was there
fore overruled. He did not regard the
two counts OF the indictment as good,
and District Attorney Sullivan said
that he vas willing that they should be
killed. The letters. Judge Tayler said
were competent evidence. There was
nothing in, the case TO show that they
had ever been received by Spear ol
Backwith. but they were. however
statements made by the prisoner, and
he would allow them to remain, de-
claring that he would in his charge in.
strnct the jury concerning them.
Il is probable that the case will bt
given to the jury this evening. That
matter rests with the length OF the ar.
guments to be made by the lawyers
and they were not able TO say just how
much time they would require. If the
arguments are not finished today, tbs
case viii go over until Monday.

The henhouse must have comforts
equal to the demand OF a hen. Fancy
buildings are not needed; in fact, any
old building will do that is dry, com
Portable and clean. 1t must be proof
against wind, rain and cold and abso-
lutely dry inside, says the Feather.
Each fowl should have six square
feet of floor space. The whole interior
should be a scratch room, where the
hens can be shut in during the cold or
wet days when it is not best for them
20 go out Colonies Of twenty-five or
less are best, and a room or apartment
10 by 10 feet gives six square feet for
each. The floor should have six or
eight inches Of dry soil or sand. so they
can dig in It. On top of this should be
thrown every bit Of grain that is fed,
compelling them to dig and hunt for all
their food. This hunting and digging
in the straw and loose earth or sand
keeps them busy, gives them plenty Of
exercise, keeps their blood in circula-
tion and makes them healthy and vigor-
Gus.
All the water vessels should be emp
tied at night and in the winter filed
about 10 o'clock in the morning with
warm-not hot-water. The reason for
filling at 10 in the morning is to give
the hens a chance to hunt and dig and
get warmed up before they have a
drink. Warm water should be given in
winter so as not to chill the hens. Hot
water or hot food is bad at all times.
Warm mash and warm water that feels
pleasant to your hands are good for
them, but hot food or drink unnatural
" heats them. and when they cool of
it is bad for them.
Night and morning feed dry grains.
Have a mixture Of wheat, oats, corn,
barley, buckwheat and some millet
seed. II the proper amount of grain
food and animal food is -rovided
mix these grains about equal parts
and only feed what they will eat
Don't be afraid to feed so long as they
will hunt and dig for the food. 1t will
not hurt them If they are hungry
enough to hunt and dig for it. Az
noon feed mash food made of equa
parts. by measure. OF ground oats, brar
and middlings. In this put at least
half an ounce per hen per day Of good
high grade meat scrap, mix with ho'
water or hot milk and feed just little
warm TO them in troughs. Give then
all they win eat up clean. Take away
any that is left.
Green food is of vast Importance
Cut clover hay is splendid for them
Cut about half an inch long and put
into the feed trough; give them all they
will eat. Beets. a little turnips and
cabbages are good; not too many tur
nips, as they will flavor the eggs. By
all means feed all the green food the
fowls will eat. Frozen cabbage or veg
etables Of any kind are bad for poultry
Have the green food so good they viii
think it is summer.
This ration Of grain. mash and greer
food is given with the understanding
that all will be used as directed. II
any part is left out the combination i.
broken and the best results lost
Grit, shell and charcoal should be a
hand all the time, so they can helF
themselves. All this is Of importance
It is quite easily followed and will in
