SERIOUS FIRE At wARRoAo
One Lite Lost and Much Property De.
Stroyed.

OtOySOs
Warroad has been visited by an
other disastrous fire, destroying the
entire business section located on
Main street. The fire broke out in
the kitchen of the Slatten board
ing house, about the center of Main
street, and, due to a strong north
easterly wind. this section was soon
a mass of flames, spreading both
east and west. Owing to, the build
ings being a few feet apart and Of
frame structure it was impossible to
control the flames.
The Warroad fire department was
on the scene in a few minutes after
the alarm was turned in. Good work
confined the fire to Main street only.
The only fatality was that of Harry
Gibson, a trapper. He was sleeping
on the second floor of the Staten
boarding house.

insane Asylum Patient Killed Trying

John A. Lindahl, an inmate of the
state asylum for the insane at Has
tings, was killed in attempting to es-
cape from the institution.
While the attendants were down
stairs at lunch Lindahl made rope
by tying sheets and towels together.
He fastened the end to bed and
tried to lower himself to the ground
from the second story. The rope
broke and he fell about twenty feet.
His skull was fractured, his neck
broken and several other bones were
broken. He was dead when found

of the canal. When the United States
completed its purchase of the French
rights on May 4, 1904, 1t came into pos
session Of the 6S.sS7 shares Of the rail
way stock, and by private purchase
acquired the balance.
The heavy equipment purchased fol-
the canal work made 1t necessary to
relay the road-a double track forty
miles long-with S0-pound rails, and
otherwise improve the property. Since
1904 the equipment has been renewed
and there are now 100-ton oil-burning
locomotives large and comfortable day,
parlor and hospital carriages, as well
as forty ton freight cars. They are fit-
ted with comfortable hunks, loose beds
and easy chairs, to accommodate men
who are injured or fall Ill while engag-
ed at any part Of the canal works.
Thence they are taken by train. ordi-
nary or special, as the case may be, to
Colon or Ancon, where well-equipped
hospitals are maintained by the United
States government.
The commercial usefulness Of the
Panama railway has been somewhat
handicapped by the canal work, be-
cause all considerations are made sec
ondary to this. At present 1t cannot
handle all the freight between the east
and west coasts Of the United States
that could be procured. but 1t does car
ry an average of $4,000 tons of COM
mercial freight a month. This Is about
half of the total freight carried. the
balance being for the construction OF
the canal and for railway purposes

CHAPTER XIV.
A Blow in the Dark.

Her little strategy had succeeded be-
yond her widest expectation-shew was
free!
She fed acl oss the field in which the
house stood, till she came to a stone
wall. over this she climbed breath
lessly, and found herself in an open
road. She was entirely ignorant of
her bearings, knowing not even the
name of the place to which she had
been abducted; but she dared not
waste a moment in deliberation-her
jailers might already be in pursuit. Fly
she must, somewhere, in some direc-
ton, and trust the rest to Heaven.
Heaven guided her and turned her face
straight toward the town. Mercy sour
ried off like hunted wild creature
through the wind and rain.
She had not gone far when the sound
of approaching wheels arrested her
steps. A carriage was coming toward
her along the unfamiliar road. Instinc-
lively, Mercy cast herself down in an
undistinguishable heap by the way
side, holding her very breath.
1t advanced rapidly-plainly the driv-
er was in great haste. In spite Of the
darkness, Mercy could see that 1t was
close vehicle, with a man on the box,
and two reeking horses at the pole. AS
the swift wheels neared the spot where
the girl lay PROSTATE on the damp earth
some one inside the carriage called out
loudly and impatiently:
Drive fasteri"
Merciful heaven! 1t was the voice
of Discordo!
The horses turned into the lonely
field and dashed across it toward the
haunted house. In a few moments at
the furthest he would know all.
With her heart in her throat, Mercy
sprang to her feet and fed. Fear lent
her wings, desperation gave her
strength. He would pursue her, over

Sergeant Anderson: Anderson was
the sole assistant to Faraday and Of
course was utterly unedueated in scien-

which is not always a characteristic Of
an educated man. One day Anderson
was told by Faraday to keep stirring

a fire until he returned. Faraday being
in the habit Of going upstairs to tea IN
his rooms and coming down directly
afterward TO work in the laboratory
during the evening. For some reason
he was prevented from coming down

When rain falls from cloudless
sky it is generally believed that The
moisture has been brought by the wind
at great elevation. In the south At
lantic it has been known to rain fol
more than an hour while the sky was
entirely free from clouds. In the island
of Mauritius 1t is not at all uncommon
for rain to come from a cioudless heav
en-. Slight showers fail during the
evening when the stars are shining
brightly. 1t is thought by some that
these showers are the result Of parti
cies OF ice formed in the higher region
of the atmosphere melting and falling,
Others attribute it to currents Of warm
and cold air travsling in opposite di.
rections, with the result that the lat
ter condenses some of the moisture ir
