Mine OF Crabs Found.

A dispatch from Norfolk says'-A
crab mine has been discovered in Chesa-
peake Bay, and canners are taking out
of il about two thousand barrels, or more
than half million crabs, each day.
Crabs disappear from inland waters at
the close of summer, and it has not been
customary to do auy packing in winter.
But this year the Gamers learned that
the crabs buried themselves in mud in
the bay under water thirty feet deep,
and STAYED there during the winter.
Dredges were built, and the Gamers
raded the crab roOst. ln dredging the
crus,aceahs from the mud many are lost,
and these, becoming chilled, cannot re-
bnrv themselves, but die, aud are cast on
the beach by thousands. Fear is ex-
pressed here that the crabs will be ex-
terminated, and there is talk Of stopping
the wholesale mining operations. 80

The remains of Mrs. w. J. Thomp.
sou and her two children, aged two and
five years, which were collected from the
ruins Of their burned home, were buried
at noon, Sunday, at Antioch, Fluvanna
county, twelve miles from Shadwell. The
remains of the three bodies recovered.
which was very little, were placed in one
coffin.
Among the witnesses before The coro-
ner's Jury was the son of the dead
woman, who testified that his step
father had not been living with his
mother for several months; that he
had left her, and while he came to her
home sometimes always treated her
cruelty. The boy stated that Mr..
Thompson saw his family last on We'd
nesday of last week, and at that time the
man and wife, who was rather frail
woman, had a violent quarrel. The boy
said that before the man returned to his
work he told his wife he intended to
''hx" her.
The young man who gave this testi-
mony was at the time of the tragedy
working on the farm of Mr.. Priddy,
two miles from his brothers. home. He
did not know of the fire until late Satur-
day morning.
The news was conveyed by Maii-car-
rer Robert Jarman, the first to arrive
after the house was in ashes In search
of the debris the head of Mrs. Tholup-
sou was found some distance from the
body. Thompson seem much worried
and frequently gives way TO his grief.
He is said to be typical mountaiueer.
Mrs. Thompson was the widow OF a
cousin of her last husband, and by her
first husband was the mother of a son,
now some seventeen years of age.
The FIVE rooms building in which
Mrs. Thompson and her children were
burned is situated in a remote valley at
the foot of Il mountain, and was so sur
rounded by hills that its burning at a
late hour at night would not have at
tracted attention.

j. Morgan Smith and Wife.

From some mysterious source there
has arisen an influence that has made
for J. Morgan Smith and his wife,
brother-in-law and sister of Nan Patter-
son, powerful friends in Cincinnati.
When they were arrested their combined
assets amounted to 1914. Now they
have one of the most prominent firms OF
criminal lawyers 10 the city actively
engaged in trying to keep them out OF
of thejurisdiction ofthe New York courts.
1t is now rePortedin New York, where
the approaching trial of Nan Patterson
is discussed in all resorts pstronized by
theatrical and sporting people, that the
money which is said to have been sent IL
Cincinnati for the aid of the Smiths was
contributed by a prominent Tammany
politician. His interest in the case is
said 10 have been aroused through a
woman VINO knew Nan Patterson and
Caesar Young.
The woman, the report has it, is con.
vinced that Nan Patterson did not Kill
the bookmaker, but she thinks that }
Morgan Smith bought the re volver with
which the killing was done. Conse'
oaently she has determined to bend her
effort TO keep Smith away from New
YORK and to that end has obtained the
financial support of the Tammany man.

A Sad Case.

1t was learned in New York last night
that girl in the Hudson Street Hospi-
tai, who was at first taken to police
station as being drunk, is dying from
meningitis. She was stricken while
walking near the corner OF Church and
Fulton streets. All that has been learn
ed about her is that her name is May
DeVere, and that she lives in HOboken.
Policeman Fletcher was surprised Sat
urday afternoon when he saw a stylishly
dressed, handsome young woman sud-
denly stagger and fall over on the side
walk. When he reached her she was
in a half.cOnscious condition and he
thought it well to take her to the station
house.
There the girl was unable to do more
than mutter her name and "HebOken," Z"
and it was decided that she was suffering
from alcoholism.
For three hours Miss DeVere was
locked in a cell as "drunk," when Il e
matron was attracted by her moaning.
The matrOn was satisfied that there was
something worse than alcoholism wrong
with the young woman, and she advised
the sergeant to send for an ambulance.
Hudson Street Hospital was called. The
doctor who came with the ambulance,
after an examination of the girl, pro-
nounced the case as one of alcohol coma.
Hiss DeYere was then removed to the
Hudson Street Hospital, where the junior
house surgeon agreed with the ambu'
lance doctor in his diagnosis of the case.
Everything possible in such cases was
done for the sufferer, but she gradually
grew worse, and the peculiarites which
were now noticeable so alarmed the
Hudson Street Hospital doctors at last
that they sent for assistance to the par
ent instit1tion-the New York Hospital.
Two physicians answered the call and
Immediately pronounced the case one ol
spinal meningitis in its worse form.
They found the patient in very low
state and said she could not possibly
recover.

Taking Desperate Chances

1t is true that many contract colds
and recover from them without taking
any precauiion or treatment, and
knowledge of this fac. leads Others to
take their chances instead of giving their
colds the needed attention. 1t should
Re borne in mind that every cold weak
ems the lungs, lowers the vitality, makes
the system less able to withstand each
succeeding cold and p'ves the way
for more serious diseases. Can You

MINE ASSESSMENT
 BEFORE SUPREME COURT
Copper Queen Company Asks for a Writ
 of Certiorari.

VI WI 'pOs
 Suit was filed in the supreme court last Thursday by the Copper Queen Consolidated Mining Company. of Co., chise county, through the general man. ager, Walter Douglas, of Bisbee, ask ing for writ of certiorari against the territorial board of equalization, citing the board to show cause why its acts in raising the assessed valuation of pat ented mines and other property in Co., chise county should not be declared null and void. The writ was issued, re- turnable on September 27, when the supreme court convenes in Phoenix. The Gazette states that the bill sets forth that ''the board on August F met in this city having under consideration the various assessments, so far as regards the territorial tax is concerned, and whether the valuation of each county bears fair relation or proportion to all other counties in the territory"
 The bill alleges that the same is ju- dicial matter, and that the board of equalization exercised judicial func- tion in that behalf without authority of law and in excess of the jurisdiction conferred upon it by law.
 The bill then sets forth specifically the action of the board, stating that the valuation of patented mines in the county of Cochise was $223, 0lSS7, and that the board of equalization raised this l5O0 per cent, making the valua- tion of patented mines in that county 8, 3i5, ,277.05.
 The bill further goes on to state that the board, sitting for the above-named purpose, without the authority of law and in excess of any jurisdiction con ferred upon it ordered that certain val nations of classes of property in other counties be increased. The complaint cotains table showing the original as- sessed valuation of property in the va. rious counties of the territory, the amounts added by the board and the total with the additions. The original valuation was $4S, 366, ,3l2.55, and the total, with the raises made by the board, is S57, 920, 372S4. The amount of the raise is $9, 554, ,O6O 29.
