with groan he identified a heap of
charred clothing as their garments He
collapsed and sought to-kil himself
but the police prevented him, and he
continued the search for his wife, also

A pale girl bent over a misshapen
mass long and doubtingly. Then, with
a final effort she grasped a hand
which protruded from beneath the can
vas and with a shrek, collapsed The
blackened mass, she sobbed, had
been her sweetheart, to whom
she had become engaged the
night before the disaster. A
ring on his finger told her Of his iden-
tity. She asked if the dead man had
had a watch. They brought it to her,
she opened it and gazed at her own
portrait.
Twenty Sicilian women became hys-
terical upon recognizing their kin in
the pine collins. A man whose face
was marked by a scar Of flame found
his brother among the dead The two
had worked side by side pouring wa

his dead sweetheart by their engage

KANSAS HAS RAIN \
OF MUD AND DUST
Freak Blizzard Sweeps the
State and Does Some
Damage.

wathena, Kans.. March 27.-Cftizens
of this town were spattered with a
rain of mud Sunday. The phenomenon
is accounted for by the fact that a
high wind and dust storm was pre-
vailing when a light rain began to fall.
1t is explained that the drops of wa

produced under the direction of the
stage carpenter. The cast in the pro-
duction that was in FL Paso Saturday
and Sunday nights, is made up from
ordinary people, for there was a woeful
lack of acting in it. There is nothing
clever in the play; but it has a lot of
DID, timeworn expressions and tricks to
win applause, with much horseplay on
the part of an alleged Coincidence, and
plentiful changes of scenery, some of it
carried by the company, some borrowed
from the house. The play probably does
not show up the Chinaman one whit
worse than he really is in the big cities.
When the lights were very low, the play
went better, for the very poor limitations
of Chinese makeups were not so appar-
ent. That's about all.

Yonkers, N. Y, January 1.-Believng that some person has designs on the life of his wife, Col John c. Shotts, one of the best known citizens of Yonkers and a veteran soldier, with a distinguished record, asked the police to help him dis cover the identity Of a mysterious marks man who three times within the last few weeks has made Colonel Shotts house, at No. 392 Palisade avenue, target for rife
 bullets.
 Colonel Shotts fear that the life of his wife rather than his own was desired by whoever has been shooting at the house arises from the fact that only one of the bullets was fired into the house at a time when Colonel Shotts was at home. The last shooting occurred on Christmas eve, when Colonel Shotts and his family were at dinner. The first and second shootings occurred three weeks ago on two mornings when Mrs. Shotts was in the house alone.
 Whoever has been doing the shooting uses a muffled weapon, for on no occasion when a bullet has entered the house has any one in it's vicinity heard the report of a firearm.

MANY PUZZLED
 OVER NEW SHIP

Washington, January 1.-After having accepted the proposal of the Newport News Shipbuilding company for the con- structior of the new battleship Texas, equipped with reciprocating engines, the navy department has been obliged to re- consider its decision as to the motive power of the ship. Energetic protests by builders of turbine engines against what they declare the reactionary and non- progressive policy of the constructors and engineers have troubled the members of the general board and have finally de- termined the department officials to con sider the subject further before announc- ing final decision. So far the New port News company has not been notified of any change in the departments plans but as months must elapse before the work of engine construction actually be- gins, there is still some time to change the decision already recorded if it should be found proper so to do.
 Reciprocating engines were selected for the Texas and for her sister ship, the New York, upon almost unanimous de- cision of the engineer officers of the navy department.
 One reason for this apparent retrogres- sion in marine mechanics was the su- perior economy of the reciprocatng en- zines for cruising speeds.
 It is impossible also to repair recipro- eating engines at almost any naval sta tion This would be most serious con- sideration in the case of ships at distant foreign stations. Finally, it is held that the familiarity of the ordinary marine engineer with reciprocating engines causes them to be generally preferred
 The turbine makers on the other hano contend the fact that every maritime power has abandoned the reciprocatins engines in favor of the turbines is prool positive of the superiority of the latter type. One of the strong points, too, i' that the reciprocating engine has reach cd it's extreme development.
 Although there is every indication tha the old war between the reciprocatins and turbine engine advocates has broker out with renewed vigor and it would no be surprising if Congress would have tC relieve the navy department of the re- eponsibiity of making a choice betweer them.

 BODY LAID AWAY

Prattville, January 1.-(Special.) )-The fast sad rites of one of the most promi- nent citizens of this city and county were held at the Presbyterian church at ? o'clock this afternoon when the body of Judge McNeill Smith was taken from the altar and carried to Oak Hill cem- etery. Judge smithdied at his home in this city Friday morning at o'clock suddenly from an attack of acute indi- gestion.
