proving.
Two more cases of heat prostration
reported during the late torrid weather
in this city occurred Thursday after
noon. John Twigg, carpenter
employed on the new residence being
built by DR.. F. S. Hynds, on West
Main street, became i'll. Mr.. Twigg
became exhausted to such an extent
that he was compelled to quit work,
and after going to his home at 1905
West Boone street, he became so i'll
that the attendance of physician was
required. He is somewhat better to-
day and is able to sit up a portion Of
the time.
A son of Mr.. August Sholtz, who re-
sides just east of the city, was over
come by heat Thursday afternoon
while assisting in threshing operations.
The boy, who is about II years Of age,
was brought to this city by his father
and was placed under the care of q
physician. He was quite i'll for a time
but it is now thought that he will re-
cover within short time.

Famous Confederate Woman Spy.


In little adobe house in Santa Fe
there died the other day in poverty,
another of the rapidly disappearing list
Of beautiful confederate women spies.
Her maiden name was Georgia Read.
Born in southern Indiana, reared in
New Orleans, the outbreak of the civil
War found her still in her teens and
fired with an ardent enthusiasm for
the cause of the south. Moved by the
death of a brother at Bull Run to give
her personal services to the south, she
left home after Buffers occupation of
New Orleans and enrolled as an army
nurse with the army Of Virginia. Soon
afterward she adopted the more dan
gerous occupation of a spy. Disguised
as a boy with close-cropped hair, or as
the widow of soldier heavily yelled,
she frequently entered the union lines,.
whence she carried back to the con-
federate leaders information of great
value as to the strength Of their oppon-
ents and the disposition of their forces.
She was of much service to Mosby's
guerrillas in Virginia, but her princi-
pal service in this line of activity was
in Missouri, where she was long the
chief reliance of General Sterling
Price when he sought information
about the union army. Here near
Westport Landing, now Kansas City
she was eventually betrayed into the
hands of the federal authorities, who
put an end to her work by keeping
her close prisoner until the close of
hostilities. After the war she remain.
ed irreconcilable and refused to take
the oath of Allegiance. Nevertheless
she married a northern man and lived
for many years north Of Mason and
Dixon's line-St. Louis Globe Demo.

DEAD MONEY in BANKS.
Millions in Deposits Unclaimed BY
People Who Placed Them,

=
It has been variously estimated that
in banks of this city there are from
$20000O to two or three millions Of
dead or unclaimed deposits. In most
cases these accounts come from small
balances left by depositors who have
withdrawn their accounts and have me-
elected to go after the odd sums
which remain after the main account
is taken out. Then, too, persons after
lodging their nest egg often never APP
pear again. In case there is no will the
heirs never know of the money. This
often happens In the case of ndser
who thinks his relatives are overanx-
ious to obtain his money. He makes
the deposit, secretes the certificate, and
the money is as much concealed treas
ure as if he had taken out a brick in a
fireplace and hidden a stocking full Of
gold dollars behind it.
In this city there is man well known
to all bank officials whose sole bust
ness it is to Look UP heirs for these
unclaimed accounts. He finds out what
sums, are lying dead, and, if he can,
under what circumstances they were
deposited. Then, by different means,
known only to himself he finds the
lawful heirs, who gladly give him a
fat commission on the money SO un-
eNpectedly coming to them.
Some time ago the state tried to
take these sums from the banks and
keep them as government trust. This
was successfully opposed in the courts
by the banks, the credit of the institu-
tons being held adequate security for
the trust Now, no bank pays inter-
est on deposits unless the deposdtor
appears once In fifteen years and has
his deposit vouchers renewed.
III England there is NO legal provi-
SION for unclaimed bank accounts, as
there is in this country and in France,
where the law requires that every five
years all banking institutions shall
publish the names and last known adj
dresses Of owners of dormant or I'M
claimed accounts. 1t has been estimated
that in chancery, the Bank of England
and the thousands of private banks
there is total sum of over $12,000,o00
unclaimed.
The thought of so much wealth lying
urusought has driven many persons in
sane. These weak minded individuals
have given bank officials many bad
half hour. One old man kept calling
for many years at a certain banking
institution asking for sums of money
which he declared had been left to him.
It was all a delusion. Of course, but
he would never believe SO, and after
each denial at the bank he would re-
tire, consoling himself with the belief
that, as the interest was compounded,
his money was increasing every day.

 Strange to say none of these Ari- zona patriots have said anything in favor of the Foraker amendment. which. if it became operative, would put the question of joint statehood di- rectIy up to the people of Arizona The Arizona business men who are here in opposition to joint statehood will have something to say tomorrow in relation to this topic which will not accord with the statements of Messrs Rodey and Ainsworth, MT.

WORKING ON THE DEMANDS.
The Matter of the Recognition of the
 Union May Not Be Pressed.

New York. Feb. 13.-The special scale committee of the anthracite workers, numbering thirty-six men, tonight held it's first meeting since coming to New York at which it took up the demands to be presented to the operators at the conference on Thurs day. The sub committee which has had charge of getting the grievances in shape for formal presentation to em- ployers held an all day session, but was unable to complete its work. In order to save time tomorrow it was de- Cided to call the full committee to- gether tonight formally to go over the work that has been completed.
 President Mitchell and other mem bers of the committee remain silent as to the exact nature of the demands to be made. It is understood, however, that the miners will put up a strong fight for a change in the methods of the board of cOnciliation. The mine workers are dissatisfied with the pres ent method of settling difficulties and say there will always be friction until a better method of settling disputes is found
 There is a growing belief that if the operators will be liberal in granting concessions to miners the demand for recognition of the union may not be pressed.

GROPED ON
 TO DEATH
Testimony in the VdIen-
 Cia Disaster Investigation
Tangled Lines Concealed the Speed of the Vessel and the Proximity of Danger.

Seattle, Wn., Feb. 13-For the first time since the Valencia investigation has been in progress, testimony was introduced today which tended to show that causes other than the elements were responsible for Captain Johnson's over running his course and wrecking the steamer, which caused the loss of so many lives. The evidence came out today when Frank K. Bunker, who had been recalled, testified to questions asked him by United States District Attorney Forye, regarding anything out of the ordinary he had noticed while watching the men take soundings on the night of the tragedy.
 Bunker testified that as he watched the men hauling in the lead line, it became tangled with the log line and that several minutes elapsed before the log line could he heaved overboard He said that in his opinion the ship was then running at full speed. He also stated that the ships progress was then kept by one of the officers. who stood by with a watch in his hand. When the log had finally been cast over the side, Bunker says the officer called out to the uuartermaster, or whoever it was to standin~ near to mark down two miles," This is the distance sup posed to have been travelled while the men were untangling the lines of the log and lead.
 Bunker also testified that when the log line was thrown over it was still snarled and tangled. He said he did not know whether this affected the re- gistering of the vessels progress or not, but that the circumstance struck him as peculiar He says he also saw one of the sailors haul in the log, take a cap. or something off it, pour oil into a certain part of the troller, and then heave it overheard forgetting to replace the cap. Bunker added that the sailor. who had apparently forgotten to re- place the cap. again hauled in the log and placed it in proper shape.

FINANCIAL FEATURES
 OF CASTELLANE CASE
Engage the Attention of the Lawyers
 for Both Sides.

Paris, Feb. 19.-Count Boni de Gas with lawyers of the countess, his wife. This was one of several meetings at which the two parties concerned have carefully gone over the financial fea- lures of the case with the view of de- termining the exact form of future pro- cedure and the ultimate decree. In the meantime the countess bill of com plaint is being prepared, but has not yet been filed. as the form will depend upon the pending conferences over fin ancial affairs. If these are satisfact- orily adjusted the countess bill of complaint is likely to be materially modified so as to contain only incom- patibility or other grounds within the statute, but avoiding allegations of d scandalous nature.
 However, the conferences are not for the purpose of reconciliation, as all concerned. including the count and countess and their lawyers, appear to recognize the futility of any further attempt to reunite the family. The present indications, therefore, are that after the parties reach a financial un- derstanding the bill will be modified and a decree entered by mutual con sent. This decree probably will be for a separation. as the French law per mits such a decree being extended to complete divorce after three years.
 Thus far however, the countess has not decided whether the bill shall ask for complete annulment of her mar riage. Her friends are rather inclined to restrict the decree to a separation, as this would prevent the re-marriage of either party within three years thus putting an end to the rumor that the countess intended to marry again, which her friends characterized as ab- surd. Until the bill is finally framed and filed the courts will not formally possess the document explicitly setting
