fire at Caseyville, Ky, Sunday night,

The boat was ancnored at the shore

The fire was discovered by the

him and together were able to make

GENERAL OUTLOOK.

The tendency towards improve
ment in the business word continues.
and although the progress in trade
recovery is slow, nevertheless, there
is a well defined trend in the direc.
ton of broader activity. Industry
is booked to feel the favorable effects
OF large crops later on, and if future
develcT mcrts a. such as 20 inspire
confidence IN the general prosperity
of the country under a new political
regime We may expect to see genu-
inc starting up Of business after the
presidential canvass closes. In the
meantime considerable conservatism
is manifest by the solid representa-
tives of trade, and this policy may
work out bene6cialiy in the long run.
4 better condition Of affairs is re-
ported in the Iron aud Steel trades
and if no set back takes place in
these important commodities the i'm
provement may spread to other
markets. There has been a heavy
depletion of stocks all over the coun.
try, and when replenishing begin,
there will be much less dulIness t

A sight which will make them
tremble for days to come met the
eyes Of the two little children Of An

when they returned from school Tues
day afternoon Hanging in the stable
of their peaceful home the children
found the body of an unknown man.
No one in Sebree knows anything
about the stranger who committed
suicide in Mr.. Poole's stable. The
family Of Mr.. Poole was away spend

When they entered the house they

A pathetic tale OF Eskimo love is
told by Lieutenant Shackleton, the
British Arctic explorer. A young
Eskimo lad loved an Eskimo lass,
but he had not the necessary num-
Der OF sealskins to provide the mar
rage portion required by her faith
er, he met with no encouragement
from the stern parent. a yawning
chasm separated the respective
dwellings Of the ardent lover and
his beloved, which could be crossed
only by snow bridge. The youth
conceived a plan. He would cross
the snow bridge in the night, abb
duct the girl, and, after recrossing.
destroy the bridge, and so prevent
pursuit. He carried the plan into
effect. One night he crossed the
bridge, invaded the hut of his idol
seized a sleeping-bag. and depart
ed, destroying the bridge after he
had crossed. Then he opened the
sleeping-bag and discovered that he
had abducted-not the girl, but the
old man.-Home Herald.

are in position where they will be
absolutely compelled to rcplenish
their worn out or nearly imperfect
equipment. Enormous requirments
will be needed to prevent fatal de-
terioration of property and vested
interests, aud these features cannot
be overlooked. Transportation and
public service cannot proceed with
safety and efficiency unless steps are
taken to maintain the railroads of
the country in proper condition.
When, therefore. orders for the new
engineering and mechanical equip
ment, positively necessary for trans.
portation and other purposes, begin
to flow in manufacturers will have
plenty to do. The fact of such i'm
portant and diversified needs is ex-
pected to have very positive infu.
snce on the market. for all metal.

JUDGE LINDSAY
INTENDS TO RETIRE.

1t seems practically certain that
Judge Lindsay, of the Circuit Court in
this city, will not accept a reappoint-
ment to the position, but will take up
private practice when his present term
expires, which will be in during the
coming month of March. When asked
for information on the subject this
morning Judge Lindsay stated that he
had practically decided on such a step,
though. there was one matter which
might come up between now and that
time, which might change his views.
This matter, however, appears to be a
rather remote contingency which is
hardly likely to have much chance of
affecting the proposition.
In looking for a successor to the posi-
tion w. l.. Whitney at present the
First Deputy Attorney General, seems
to be by far the most logical candidate.
While he is unwilling at the present
time to say that he will accept the
position, it is we'll understood that
on the Circuit Bench are Judge Kings
full if there would be any candidate for
the position who would be able to have
a chance against him If he should
express willingness to have his name
presented.
In case that Whitney will not take
the position Judge Matthewman, of
Hawaii, is likely to have chance for
the position. He has been desirous Of
coming to this city for some time past

The only candidates on this island who
have placed themselves before local
attorneys as candidates for a position
possibly Judge Quarles. If Whitney
bury, Samuel F. Chillingworth and
he would hardly refuse. 1t is doubt
accepts it would probably mean that
others would be out of the running.
but Attorney General c. r. Hemenway
would be very 10th to lose his chief
deputy.
In regard to the Kauai judgeship,
which will come up before any va
cancy on the local bench occurs, it is
understood that Governor Frear is
looking into the matter on his present
trip. The only material on the Garden
Island for the position appears to be in
the person of Charles S. Dole, district
magistrate at Hawaiian. His health
has been very poor though. for some
time past, as the result of a bad fall
from a saddle horse, and his friends
would not like to see him take a posi-
ton where the strain of heavy work
would come on him, till he has fully
recovered.
Judge Kingsbury is understood to
stand very good chance. S. F. Chill
lingworth would accept with great
readiness if the judgeship was offered
to him and some whispers have been
going the rounds that position on
the Kauai bench would prove very at
tractive to w. T. Rawlins, at present
Assistant U. S. District Attorney.

GUNS FOR PEARL

OAHU ARMlNG BY lNsTAILMENrs- SECTIONS AND
PARTS OF DISAPPEARING FOR QUEEN BMMAs POINT
DELIVERED TODAY by S s. NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. oF n1,,,or
HEAD ORDNANCE IS HERE-NINETY-THREE PARTS

Oahu is arming by installments. The
arrival this morning of the Matson
s. S. Lurline means the delivery OF
the balance of the Diamond Head fort
ordnance and the first of the Pearl
HarbOr battery engines.
In the hold of the Lurline are nine
ty-three sections of armament, thirty
three for the fort back of Diamond
Head, completing that post of defense,
and sixty for Queen Emma's Point,
Pearl Harbor.
The latter consignment includes the
carriages for four disappearing guns,
twelve-inch, weighing fifteen tons
each, and sections of twelve-inch NOR
tars.
The material for Diamond Head Will
be taken out in drays, as before, drawn
by steam-rollers, and the material FOR
Pearl Harbor will probably be sent
down by the S. S. James Makee.
In the next shipment, to be brought
by Matson boat, since the Matson
line has the contract to carry all the
Army ordnance to equip the local for
tifications, will come more mortars
and some disappearing guns For
some time there will be continued
shipments of Army and, later, Navy
engines. For the Navy there Will be
shipped great cranes to be used in
placing guns aboard and to remove
guns from warships.

Aboard the Lurline are two mortars,
which, put together, weigh ia tons
each. In the next shipment there will
be some disappearing guns, complete.
In addition to the military consign-
ment the Lurline brought over 2,OOO
tons of general cargo, including ice
house goods, livestock, hay, barley,
fertilizer and provisions. The deck
was a barnyard with horses. cows.
pigs, turkeys, ducks and chickens.
