Two days after leaving Barbados on
July 23 the British steamer Ikalis, which
arrived Saturday at New York from Bue-
nos Ayres. sighted a sinking sloop flying
signals of distress and in a few minutes
had come upon one of these mute histo-
ries that make the terror and romance
of the seas. The sloop was the Little
Sunlight, wandering cargo carrier be-
tween small ports of the islands of Anti
qua and Barbados. She lay yawing
helplessly, her wheel idle. her master
and his crew of five fiat on the decks.
There was no water and no food in sight.
The men were hoisted aboard the steam
er and after an hours work revived.
With feet and hands missing, the
body of Beatrice Reneaud, the 7-year-
old child of Mrs. John Repeaud of
Whitehall. N. Y, who disappeared
about seven weeks ago, was found Sat
urday floating in the lake Champlain
harbor, about 200 feet south of the
place where the houseboat from which
the child disappeared was moored. The
finding of the dismenlbered body is re-
sarded as confirmation of some of
the rumors that were in circulation at
the time of the child's disappearance.
"hc grewsume discovery was made by
Roger D. Rome, fisherman. who saw
the body floating in the water. He
brought it to shore and notified Coroner
Belgrade. An autopsy will be perform

West Side Belt Line Railway, risked
his life to prevent a dynamite explo-
sion in the burning wreck of a freight
train on a trestle late Saturday night

fire. West. knowing that one contained
large box of dynamite, climbed to
the trestle. broke open the car and
pried off the lid of the blk. He laid
the dynamite carefully on the floor of
the car and beat hasty retreat.
Flames soon consumed the car but the
dynamite. being loose, simply went up
in nuff of smoke.
The French Eversole feud of 1888 in
Kentucky was on the verge of re-
newed outbreak when Fulton French
OF Winchester and Harry Eversole
met for the first time in many years at
hotel at Jackson. KY. Saturday.
French was leader of his family and
Eversole's father was head of his
clan in the old time feud. Eversole
had been informed by his mother
widow of Joe Eversole. that
French had refused to speak to her
Friday Eversole Saturday met French
on tho porch of the hotel and began
firing. None of his six pistol bullets
struck French and, when French ran
back to the porch after obtaining q
pistol, Eversole had fled. Eversole was
later arrested and held for the grant
jury under $1,000 bonds.
The 100000, returned as the cost of
the funeral of the late King Edward
VII, shows an increase of $25.000 over
that of Jueen Victoria, the expense CT
which was $1775OO But the fitting
up of Westminster hall for the lying
in state of His Late Majesty cost s10,
900, and the expenditure includes ais }
an admiralty charge of $4,000 for the
travelling and subsistence of naval Of
ficers and men. Compared with other
great state obsequies. those of the late
King cost not a fifth of the Emperor
Williams in 1888, the expense of which
was $430.000 to the city of Berlin alone,
and s550,O00 to the imperial treasury.
The Duke of Wellington's funeral cost
$780, 900: that of Nelson $250.000; Will

sorts only 100000.
Two fires of apparently incendiary
origin called out the Webster. Mass,
fire department at 2.3O A. M. Satur-
day. Stephen Kuluski's barn was
burned to the ground, entailing a loss
of $780, 1t is thought the fire was set
by thieves in search of tools. which
were used a few minutes later to enter
Julius Spahrs grocery store on Oxforl
avenue. The store in short time was
also afire, the loss being about 500.
The thieves then attempted to enter
D. l.. X. hall. The barking of dogs
awoke the janitor, A. l.. lips, who
frightened the thieves away.

man calling herself Lucretia De La
mar. who attempted suicide at the
Central hotel, in Providence Friday

Herscovitz was found Saturday at the
home Of T. Goldstein, on 7th street,
Providence, where she has been visit
ing for the past three weeks Her
home is at 1858 Lexington avenue,
New York City. She does not know
any woman named De Lamar. but
thinks that the letter found in posses
sion of the would-bc suicide is one she
wrote July 10 to her brother Harry.
