thrashers, was taking the sacks down
from a shelf in the building and shak-
ing the dust out of them when sudden
ly from one Of them rolled the ghast
ly head. Cooney fled in terror and no
titled the other men.
Mr.. Bryant, who died six months
ago, had lived alone on his farm for
several years. So far as is known
no one has ever been reported miss.
ing from the neighborhood. Some OF
the men on the farm think the head
resembles Mr.. Bryant, who died from
natural causes six months ago, and
was buried in country cemetery near
his home. Officers here went to the
farm to investigate.

SHIP SINKS; % PERISH
WREckAGE OF STEAMER VAR.
MOUTH FLOATS ASHORE.
Part of Crew of a Schooner Driven
Before Gale, Are Rescued by
Life-Saving Crew.

London, Oct 30.-Wreckage picked
up in the North sea confirms the fears
that the steamer Yarmouth foundered
two days ago while crossing from the
Hook of Holland to Harwich. The Var
mouth was a channel freighter be-
longing to the Great Eastern Railroad
Company. She carried crew of %
men, and it is believed that they all
persisted
Norfolk, Va, Oct. 30.-A fourmast-
ed schooner, lumber-laden, bound
north, was driven ashore on the
North Carolina coast during Sc
we're northeast gale Thursday The
vessel lay on the shoals off Paul
Gamiels Hill, so miles south of Cape
Henry. Three of her masts already
have been washed out of the schooner
since she struck, and unless the seas
subside she probably will be washed
to pieces
! Meager information by belated sea
coast telephone messages tells of the
rescue of six of the eight in the crew
of the wrecked schooner. These were
brought ashore in the breeches buoy
and told of the drowning of the other
two before the buoy line could be shot
across the vessel by the three life
saving crews standing by and power
less to launch lifeboats. In the ex
citement the name of the vessel was
not obtained
The schooner later was identified
as the Charles 8. Hirsch, Capt. Hun
ter, from, Brunswick, Ca, to Balti
more. Capt. Hunter was among tbs
six men rescued in the breaches buoy
The two men drowned were the cool
and seaman, whose names are moi
given. The Hirsch will prove tota
loss.

or portion Of the thickly housed sum,
mer colony at Salisbury Beach was
wiped out Tuesday by fire which
destroyed more than 100 cottages. sit

the mouth of the Merrimac river.
Practically all of the houses had been
abandoned for the season, and the
damage was estimated at 100000.
After a thorough investigation the
authorities of the town of Salisbury
expressed belief that the fire resulted
from the act of an incendiary as all
the buildings near where the flames
were first seen had been unoccupied
for several weeks.

Sofia, Bulgaria, Oct. 24.-The gov

Its special envoy to Constantinople, re-
turn here for new instructions.
This has given rise to fears that the
Turko-Bulgarian negotiations looking
to settlement of the trouble that has
arisen from Bulgaria's sudden decla-
ration of independence have become
futile; but the government insists that
the negotiations have not been
broken; that they have only been In

sages in cipher. M. Dimitroff has

MILLIONS OF CIGARETTES.
An Average of More than Six Daily
 for Each Smoker.

Washington. Aug 13.-There were
 5.402,330,112 cigarettes smoked in the United States during the last fiscal year. according to governmen; statistics just issued-25. .0OO. 900 is perhaps a fair estimate of the num- Der of men and boys in this coun- try who smoke tobacco. So, on an average, each smoker consumed B. 2l6 cigarettes last year. or 6 1-14 a day. the fraction representing the very small butt a cigarette smoker throws away.
 But of the 5000 .OOO smokers many million smoke cigars or pipes and some smokers roll their own So the average number each cigarette smoker consumes daily must be much higher than 6 1-14. The government statisticiaas are very proud of their accuracy in carrying out a figure so high as fifty five thousand four hundred millions to the very last number-I3. Per- aaps there is a warming to cigarette smokers in these last two figures the cigarette habit is grow ing tremendously in this country.
