NEW SOURCE OF RADIUM.
English Engineer Says There Is One
 In Portuqal.

In Portugal.
 That the recent discovery of rich ore deposits in Portugal will make possible for the first time the manufacture or radium in quantities sufficiently large for commercial use is the assertion of Harry March, young English civil engineer who has come to this coun. try in the hope of interesting Ameri- can scientists and American capital in the Portuguese mines He has brought with him boXfuI of ore, specimens of which have been examined by miner alogists here and abroad, who declare that the mineral contains large Quanu- ties of crystalline urmitc, or what is technically known as autuuitc, the sub stance from which Udium is cX- tractcd
 Professor James F. Kemp, head of the department of geology at Colum- bia. and other members of the staff have seen some of the specimens.
 According to one analyst Allen F. Walden of the chemical department of Oxford university, who subjected the mineral to the usual scientific tests for radium. 1t is estimated that the ore contains nearly 72O milligr0ms of ra- dium to the ton. a new record The ore itself he found to be made up of quartz thickly crustcd with yellow crystals. These crystals when exam iucd proved to contain uranium cal- cium and phosphoric acid, and there was no trace of other metallic or acid impurities.
 Up to the time of the discovery of the Portuguese deposits the chief ore from which radum was extracted was pitchbendc, considerable quantities of which are found in Bohemia and in Cornwall. England. The amount of ra- dmm producing material in this sub stance. according to Mir. March, is about 6 per cent, whereas the ore ob- tained from Portugal has been tested and found to contain 33 per cent of oxide of uranium. E. B. Barboni French chemist, after subjecting the new mineral to careful tests, declared that by reason of the ease with which 1t could be treated it was in his opin- ion "at least three times superior as raw material to pitchblende."

CONTRACTOR DROWNED.
Went Fishing With Young Woman
and Met His Death.

Raleigh, N. c., March 18.-An-
drew J. Jackson, a prominent build
ing contractor, 81 years old, was to-
day drowned in Crabtree creek, three
miles from Raleigh, where he had
gone with a young woman, Florence
Lee, to fish.
The couple had been drinking.
They were on rock ledge above the
creek when Jackson, seeing the wo-
man slip, according to her state
ment, tried to catch her, and fell into
the water, the woman falling also.
The woman's screams brought help,
pole was reached to her, and she
was pulled out. Jackson, an expert
swimmer, had held her up in the wa
ter, but seemed dazed and would not
seize the pole himself. He was
drowned, his body being later taken
out. Evidence showed that Jackson
and the woman were on intimate
terms, and her conflicting state
ments, together with the failure to
find $500, which Jackson had drawn
from the bank, and a reported quar-
rel about a man the night before,
caused the coroner to arrest the wo-
man, as the death of Jackson is to be
investigated.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY ON FARM.
Warren Briggs and His Wife Killed
by Neighbor.

Oil City, Pa, March 19.-The dead
bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Warren
Briggs, with holes from Winchester
rife bullets in their breasts, were
found at their home, 10 miles east OF
Tionesta, Forest county, to-day. The
body of Amos Walton, neighbor,
was found in the house with his
head almost blown off. 1t is believed
Walton killed Briggs and his wife
and then committed suicide. Walton
was so years old and Mr.. and Mrs
Briggs each 35 years old.
Recently Walton beat son OF
Briggs, who made Information
against him before justice of peace
at Niarionville, charging assault and
battery. Walton was placed in the
custody of constable. The hearing
was to have taken place this morn
ing. Walton asked permission of the
constable to return home that ne
might secure witnesses and the re-
quest was granted. He went to his
home, took a .48-calibre Winchester
rifle and was seen going to the
Briggs residence, arriving there
about II o'clock. The body OF
Briggs was found near a barn, from
which he was evidently coming
when killed. Mrs. Briggs was killed
in the kitchen of her home and the
body of Walton was found on a chair
in another room.

Jailed for Jumping Board Bill.

Lexington, March 19.-John B.
Heron, a young white man, was
lodged in jail here last night, he hav-
ing been sent up for 80 days by
Magistrate Henry Buff, of New
Brookland, upon the charge OF OBJ
tanning board under false pretenses.
It is said that Heron secured board
at the home of M. I. Fox, in Brook
land, several weeks ago, stating at
the time that he would pay for the
same as soon as he received his pen
sion from the government, Heron
claiming that he was veteran of the
Spanish-American war and was on
the pension list. With this under
standing, lit is said, Fox agreed to
keep on boarding him, but it seems
that Heron took his departure a
couple of days before he was to draw
his money and never returned. Fox
learned that Heron had gone to
Aiken county and accordingly had a
warrant issued for his arrest. Her
ron was tried and convicted in Mag
istrate Bluffs court yesterday and
sentenced to pay a fine Of $50 OF
serve 80 days on the county chain
gang. Heron made a motion for a
new trial and was sent to jail here
pending the outcome. He is native
of Aiken county, it is said.

Sympathy for Criminals.

Elsewhere is published comment
from The Bamberg Herald, in which
the statement is made that had the
first man convicted of murder and
sentenced to hang in the county been
executed there would have been few
er murders in Bamberg since 1t be-
came a county. 1t was unfortunate
that the governor permitted his sym
pathies to move him 80 far In that
case, but that ought to be lesson
to the juries. They should do their
duty to their communities and II
blame is to follow, let it fall on the
proper shoulders. Convict, If the
evidence is incriminating, If the evil
dence is wrong the responsibility is
elsewhere, if there are extenuatlng
circumstances in the case there is
another power to take them into
consideration. If they do not crime
will stalk abroad clothed in purple
and gold and show it's arrogant head
with pride instead of shame.-Flor-

From Miner to Millionaire.

Scranton, Pa, March 21.-Former

operator, capitalist and philanthrop-
ist, died to-day as the result of a
paralytic stroke sustained on Thurs

multi-millionaire.
One of the biggest tasks Mr.. Con-
nell ever undertook was when ap-
pointed sole arbitrator for the Le-
high Valley road in settling the
claims arising from the Mud Run
disaster of October 10, 1888, when
63 persons were killed and 120 in
jured. Only one case went to court

Division of Labor.

"Got any work this mornin', Mis-
tab Boyd?" asked old Billy Bulger,
safe in the knowledge that no work
would be entrusted to him.
NO." was the response; and then,
before Billy could ask for the Gus
tomary contributions: "But wait a
minute. Lawyer Phillips has owed
me twenty dollars for twenty years.
Collect it and I'll give you half" And
the merchant, knowing how bad was
the debt, winked at a waiting Gus
toner.
The old man found the lawyer in
the middle of a group of prospective
clients and influential citizens.
Thrusting through the group, he
called, in stentorian tones:
"Mistah Phillips, subj"
"Well?" queried the lawyer, much
annoyed.
"Mistah Boyd done tell me that
you've owed him twenty dollars for
about a hundred years; and he
wants to know kin you pay him,
suh.''
The lawyer hurried to Billy's side.
"You idiot" he said soto voce,
"do you want to ruin my business?
Here!" and he thrust a ten dollar
bill into the old mans hand.
Back to the merchant toddled the
old man.
"Well, Billy" said the merchant,
did you get it?'
The old man grinned.
81 got my half, all right, ne
chuckled; "but you'd better look out
when you go back to get your half
he's right smart hot over it, suh!'-

Billy Sundays Eloquence.

t'Twenty-two years ago, with the
Holy Spirit as my guide, I entered
this wonderful temple called Christi
anity. I entered at the portico of
Genesis, walked down through the
Old Testament art gallery, where the
pictures of Noah, Abraham, Moses,
Joseph, Isaac, Jacob and Daniel
hung on the wall. passed into the
music room of Psalms, where the
spirit swept the keyboard of nature
and brought forth the dirge-like wall
Of the weeping prophet, Jeremiah, to
the grand impassioned strain OF
Isaiah until it seemed that every
reed and pipe in Gods great organ
of nature responded to the tuneful
harp of David, the sweet singer OF
Israel. I entered the chapel OF
Ecclesiastec, where the voice of the
preacher was heard, and out OF the
conservatory of Sharon and the Lily
of the Valleys sweet scented spices
filled and perfumed my life. enter
ed the business Office of Proverbs,
then into the observatory room OF
the prophets, where I saw telescopes
of various sizes, some pointing to
far-off events, but all concentrated
upon the bright and morning star,
which was to rise above the moonl1t
hills of Judea for our salvation. l
entered the audience room of the
King of Kings and caught vision
of His glory from the standpoint OF
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John;
passed into the Acts of the Apostles,
where the Holy Spirit was doing the
office work in the formation of the
infant church. Then into the cor
respondence room, where sat Mat
thew, Mark, Luke, john. Paul, Peter,
James and Jude, penning their epis-
ties. 1 stepped into the throne
room of Revelations, where all tow
cred into glittering peaks, and I got
vision of the King sitting upon His
throne in all His glory, and l cried:
call hail the power Of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall; -
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all"

Officers to-day began an investigation
