Sensational Arrest Follows The Al.
tempted Burning Of The Hotel
Early Yesterday Morning.
ACCUSED name IS PARK CRAWFORD
He May Have Escaped from Reforma.
tory-As a Letter Found on His
Person Indicates That He Was
Serving Sentence in Reform
School of Alabama.

Park Clay Crawford, the young
man arrested yesterday morning for
an alleged connection with the fires
in the Augusta Hotel, will probably
be given a preliminary hearing in the
police court tomorrow morning.
While the police department was
inactive in its working up of the case
yesterday. there is q strong opinion
that when young Crawford faces the
mayor tomorrow he will have many
interesting points to explain in order
to thoroughly extricate himself from
his present embarrassing position.
Young Crawford, who Is the son of
Colonel j. w. Crawford, now an in
mate of the National Soldiers Home,
is believed by many to be the same
man arrested In Baltimore under the
name of Herman p. Birmingham.
When the fires occurred in the Au-
gusta several months back young
Crawford was picked up at the en-
trance to the Normal School by
Sheriff R. X. Curtis. He then explain
ed that he was working for the Hamp-
ton Packing Company, of which ]. b.
Brittingham Is the president.
From that time until last Sunday
the presence of Crawford was un-
known in Hampton. He went to
work at the Augusta Hotel as night
boy and clerk on Monday, although
he came to the hotel on Sunday.
Since the arrival of the young man
there has been robbery in the no.
tel and two attempts to burn the
building were made Friday night and
early yesterday morning.
Crawford told Night Sergeant Watts
about 1870 o'clock yesterday morn
ing that he had seen suspicious
looking white man lettering around
the hotel. He said the man had a
black moustache. Officer Watts re-
manned In the office until 2 o'clock.
When officer Watts left the hotel
he told Crawford that in the event
that the unknown man appeared there
again not to admit him, but to turn
S5n all the lights in the hotel office as
a signal to the police officers. This
Crawford said he would do.

There are several systems for train

How New York Central Railroad En-
plo,ee Saved BOY From Death.
Engineer Prime and Fireman Baker,
aboard Il New York Central locomotive
hauling eastbound passenger train Sc,
saved a threc~-year-old boy from death
the other day. says a Utica dispatch
to the New York Sun. Train SO was
travelling ut Il smart clip two miles
west Of Rome when Engineer Prime
and his fireman saw the boy walking
on the westbound freight track while
a freight train bore down upon him Mt
high speed.
The boy saw the eastbound passen-
ger train on track .. Then he looked
around and saw the freight train bear
ing down upon him. He stood con-
fused. bewildcred, and his little body
seemed incapable of action.
Prime put on brakes. and Baker
jumped down the gangway steps. Then
he leapeu the freight tracks, seized the
boy and clambered back on the smok-
ing ear Of his train. with the freight
train close on his heels. Another sec
ond and the boy would have been
ground to pieces. The boy was car
rlcd to Rome and restored to his par
ents.

How Bees Gather Honey.

A bee gathers honey by the aid OF
its trunk clover lip" or tongue"
which is used as an instrument for ex-
tracing the nectar from flowers. The
tongue" Of a bee is not, as was once
thought to be the case. a tube through
which the juice Is sucked, but Is built
more after the fashion Of a fine broom.
With this broom the bee brushes or
laps the honey or honey material from
the flowers. leaves, etc., and passes 1t
down a groove in the upper surface OF
the tongue to the mouth proper. From
that point the juice Is conveyed
through a minute orifice into the FIRST
stomach" vulgarly called the "honey
bag" The honey bag is a real chem
ical laboratory, where by some mystic
rious process which has not yet been
explained BY science the juices are
converted into pure honey. When the
chemical process Of transforming the
nectar into viscid honey has been COM
pleted the bee disgorges it into II of
the cells made for the purpose Of a re-
ceptacle. For years the microscopists
and the entomologists have been study
;'og the bees laboratory, but its work
ings are at present among the unex-
planned mysteries.

New Method of purifXlnK Milk.

Professor Rchring has discovered Il

simply oxygcnated. One gram per
liter Of this substance Is sufficient to
destroy all noxious germs. The milk
thus sterilized can be kept a long time
and Is not injured by travelling, but it
cannot be drunk until 1t has been gen
tly warmed and a drop of a catalytic
substance added. extracted from the
milk Itself. DR.. Behring sent two bot
Hes Of this sterilized milk to the cen
trail laboratory Of the ministry Of agri,
culture In Berlin. where 1t was found
that the milk was perfectly pure. DR.
Behring proved that light had a very
harmful effect on the milk. whether
sterilized hot or cold, and he recon.
mends that it should be kept in a dark
place or in red or green bottles.

SUPPORT FOR FIRE HOSE
Device That Enables One Man ia

Device That Enables One Man to
Control n Heavy Stream.
Fire hose is so heavy and cumber-
some that it usually requires several
men to handle a single line. However,
there has recently been invented a de-
vice for supporting fire hose in such a
manner that a single man a control

set to deliver a stream of water with
out requiring any attendance. The val
ue Of this feature will be appreciated
in places where accident might occur
from a falling wall or where the heat
Is too intense for a fireman to remain.
The device comprises a tripod, one Of
the legs being hollow or in the form Of
a pipe. Near the lower end Of this leg
there are several couplings by which
connection can be made with a line OF
hose. The couplings are provided with
valves whereby the pressure Of water
may be regulated, as indicated by a
pressure gauge. At the upper end of
the hollow leg is a short curved pipe
which has a rotary connection there

Power Going to Waste.

Some day, says the Newark Adver-
tiser, the vast amount Of power going
to waste from the chimneys Of nan
featuring establishments will be util-
lied. This economy is being studied
here and abroad, and various devices
are now in use. In a paper read re-
Gently before the Society Of German
Engineers it was estimated that In
Germany no less than 100000 horse
power might be obtained from the sur
plus gases Of coke ovens and an add
tional 100000 horsepower from the
waste gases Of blast furnaces. The
first gas engine plant dealing with
coke oven gases was put into opera
ton in 1894 In Germany, and there are
now constructed or under construction
gas engines capable Of delivering nc
less than 100000 horsepower when op'
Grated with poor cases."

with, while a flexible tube connects
this pipe with an elbow. A bifurcatel
lever is fulcrumed to the pipe and at
its upper end is secured to a collar on
the flexible hose. BY means of a han
die ON this lever the nozzle may be
swung in any desired direction. The
tripod legs are prevented from spread
ing too far apart by chains. A central
chain Is attached at one end to the
tripod head, and is provided at the op-
posite end with a screw eye which can
be driven into the ground or the floor
to anchor the support. The tripod may
be compactly folded and a hook on the
tripod head provides for securing it to
the rung of Il ladder. A patent on this
hose support has been secured by John
e. Malnburg of SACRAMENTO, Cal.

Horses and q

A famous veterinary surgeon de-
clares that grass beats all the drugs In
creation as a cure for sick horses and
mules. Horses should have a few
quarts Of grass daily from spring until
fall, he says. The prevalent notion
that it is harmful Is idiotic and cruel.
Grass to horses Is the same as fresh
vegetables and fruit to us. Their a
ing for it proves their need Of 1t. Yet
ignorant, %unfeeling drivers yank them
away from it as If It was poison in
stead Of the life giving medicine 1t is,
designed by their Maker for them.
When they gnaw the bark Of trees or
eat leaves it is because they crave
grass and can't get 1t. Millions of bush
els of grass go to waste yearly by the
wayside which should be utilized for
our noble, faithful, helpless, dumb COL
league, the horse, thus making him
healthy and happy. Summer visitors
who hire horses should remember these
facts and give the animals a chance to
get at the grass by the roadside once
in awhile.

CAMPAIGNING IN DAKOTA.

Two Young Women Candidates Brave
wllds to See Voters.
One OF the most unique campaigns
ever waged will be that between the
two candidates for the Office of county
superintendent Of Butte county, says a
Belle Fourche Is. d. correspondent OF
the st. Paul Dispatch. The two young
ladies who are running for the Office
are both ex-superintendents, one, Miss
Elsie Malcolm, having served her two
terms in Butte county, and the other.
Miss Susie Bird, having done equal
duty In Meade county. They are both
experienced politicians.
In order to make their campaign they
will have to cover as much territory ms
would the governor Of Massachusetts
in his campaign. for Butte county Is
easily the size Of Massachusetts, and
could swallow Rhode Island and not
know 1t. But no such means Of trans
portatiOn are available for these ladies
Us there would be were they back in
the Bay State, for n large part Of tho
| northern part Of Butte county Is but
| newly settled, and there are stretches
| Of country that know no settlers save
the prairie dog.
Over this country, often alone, in a
little blackboard or on the back Of a
trusty COW pony, for distances of not
less thar 200 miles, these intrepid girls
must 20 to meet the voters Of Butte
county. Often their way will lie
among the COW ranches and not seldom

or sheep herders. Out In the northern
part Of Butte county a great number
| Of new settlers have come recently, at
tracted by the prospective route of the
Milwaukee railroad. Down In the
southern part Is also a new population,
employed on the government ditch.
How all Of these strangers are going
to vote no n yet knows. Their poll
tics Is unknown. and the young lady
that reaches them first Is likely to
prove the winner. Because of so many
new settlers the entire county Of Butte
Is in doubt, and neither party claims
It with any confidence. Both of the
young wonen candidates are attractive
personally, and both have had the ad
vantage of previous experience. so that
It Is NJ interesting race.
