A rear end collision occurred last eve- ning on the Northampton division of the Consolidated road near the stock- yards at Eighwood, a few miles above New Haven. Conductor Deskin’s freight train, coming down grade, ran into the rear end of another freight ahead which had broken in two sections. The caboose was telescoped and three cars were derailed. No one was in- jured. The road was blocked for sev- eral hours. Acting under orders from Judge Hubbell, Chief Vollmer and his officer ”on Saturday afternoon destroyed the liquors recently captured in the raid on Max Baratz’s unlicensed saloon on Day The destruction of the liquors drew a large crowd in front of the police headquarters,and as the whiskey, rum, gin, ale, and beer was poured into the gutter there were many tears in the eyes of the old veterans, who would have given their old coats for just one sip of the numerous demijohns, before their contents was consigned to the sewer. Eitéé’éciiig' Gold. A process of extracting gold by which every particle of the metal in the ore is recovered is stated to be in successfpl operation imWest Austra- lia. It is called the ore atomic pro- cess. Gold quartz is crushed into small (lumps and is then put into a closed chamber, subjected to the heat of a furnace, -to the action of water and of hydrogen gas. This eliminates sulphur and reduces all oxides to the metallic state. After being heated, the material is suddenly cooled by jets of water—till the. quartz crumbles to powder at the touch of the finger.‘ It is then thrown into a tank and the gold is then separated by washing. His Facetiousness Rewarded. Finding a purse containing 33 cents on the sidewalk in front of a Calais, Me, store, a. woman picked it up and took it to the storekeeper. He hung it in a window above a sign reading: “Found—This purse, containing a large sum of money)“ When he came down the next morning the purse was gone and there was a. big hole in his plate glass window.—NeW' York Sun.

Unable to Endure thO Restrictions of Civ- ilization. The Central Australian aborigine is the living representative of a stone age, who still fashions his spear heads and knives from flint or sandstone, and performs the most during surgical operations with them. His origin and history are lost in the gloomy mists of the past. He has no written records and few oral traditions. In appear. once he- is a naked, hirsute savage, with a. type of features occasionally pronouncedly Jewish. He is by nature lighthearted, merry and prone to laughter; a splendid mimic, supple jointed, with an unerring hand that works in perfect‘unison with his eye, which is as keen as that of an eagle. He has never been known to wash. He has no private ownership of land, except as regards that which is not overcarefully concealed about his own person. He cultivates nothing, but lives entirely on the spoils of the chase, and although the thermometer frequently ranges from 15 to 120 de- grees Fahr. in twenty-four hours, and his country is teeming with furred game, he makes no use of the skins for clothing, but goes about during the day and sleeps in the open at night perfectly nude. He builds no perma- nent habitation, and usually camp! where night or fatigue overtakes him. Above all, he is absolutely untamable. You may clothe and care for him for years, when suddenly the demon oi unrest takes possession; he throws oh" all his clothing and plunges into the freckless depths of his native bush, at once reverting to his old and hideourl customs, and when sated, after months of privation, he will return again to clothing and civilization, only to repeat the performance later. on.— Chicago Tribune. A Puzzling Transaction. It happened in this wise: The two gentlemen were Irish, and, as every one knows, the sons of that national- ity are excitable. Up to a certain time they had lived as peaceful neighbors should, but when Mr. O’Farrel's cow had her career cut short in a summary fashion by being smothered under a load of hey that lost its balance and toppled, OE from Mr. McSway’s'wagon, why, it neces- sarily followed that the Celtic blood wormed with anger in Mr. O’Farrel’fl veins, and, in no genial mood, he sought his hitherto pleasant neighbor, and demanded compensation for the loss. “Sure, now, that is a sad misfor. tune,” commented Mr. McSway; “and how much do ye want me to pay for the cow?” “Oi want tin dollars, and oi want it roight now.” “‘Faith, you’re or hit loively, Mr. O’Farrel. But didn't oi understand that yez sold the cow’s hide an’ tal‘ low down ter the village? How much ‘ did yez get for the baste?” "Yis, oi did, an’ oi got tin dollars an‘ fifty cints for it, Mr. M'cSway.” “Well, then, accordin’ to that, yer. owe me fifty cints; so pay it roight now, if you plaze, Mr. O’Farrel.” Probably it will not ustonish the reader to know that before the ex- cited and very much muddled O‘Fau rel recovered himself herpaiid the fifty cents: but even to this day he has failed to satisfy himself whether he owed the money to McSway or not.—- Harper’s Round Table. Five Generations. On a farm in Nash County, N. (1., there lives a family that cannot, in all probability, be duplicated elsewhere in the United States. It is a colored family land consists of five gEneru- tions of lineal descendants in un- broken couples. ' The oldest couple are Ben and Harriet Speight, aged 90 and 92, re- spectively. The next couple are theirdaughter, Jane and her husband, Jeff Bell, who are 71 and 72 years old. Their daugh- ter, Della, and her husband, J onus Harrison, 47 and 51 years old, form .the third couple. This couple have been blessed with 13 children, of whom 10 are now liv- ing. One of the IO—George Harri sow—and his wife, Gabrella, 29 and 24 years old, constitute the fourth couple. One of the four children of George and Gabrella, Georgianna by name, three years old, represents the fifth generation—New York dour-nu]. Good Suggestions.

Latter Says No. SAN FRANCISCO, March 22.—Biliy Brady seems determined to find some way of making Fitzsimmons give his late oppo— nent one more chance before he puts into ' effect his announced retirement from the business. ' \ “It’ 5 very well for Fitzsimmons. to say that he will never fight again ’Brady de- clared. “You will remember that Corbett made such a statement a. dozen times, and yet he was dragged into a battle by Fitz- simmons. Well now that our man is the under dog we propose to reverse matters and make the foreigner give Jim another flght whether he wants to or not. Of course Fitzsimmons will be able to stave this thing off for a year if he wants to, but after that public opinion will get too hot for him, and he will either have to fight or get out of the country. If Jim takes my advice he will immediately begin to get public sympathy on his side by ac- cepting offers from Maher, Goddard, Shar- key or any other old dub who is after a fight. He can lick three or four fellows of that caliber in a month, and then he will , be in a. position to demand satisfac- tion from Fitzsimmons. ’_’ Bob Fitzsimmons arrived nere last even- ing. The quarters engaged for him at the Baldwin hotel had been decorated with floral horseshoes, boxing gloves formed of white violets and other appropriate devices. “I do not think,” said Fitzsimmons, “that Corbett or any one else is smart enough to get me to accept another chal- lenge. I propose to quit while my star is in its nscendant. I have made enough money to live comfortably on, and I pro- pose to spend it on my wife and baby and take my case, for I licked the man claim- ing to be the champion of the world and have downed over 300 men. " Made the Ring Small. CARSON CITY, New, March 22.—It has been disclosed that the ring in which Cor- bett and Fitzsiminons met last Wednesday was 22 feet square instead of 24, as the rule requires. Shortly before the contest the ring was enlarged by shelves construct- ed on its sides in accordance with orders given by the referee, but on the night be- fore the contest Chief Carpenter Franklin, acting under instructions from Stuart and Wheelock, sawed off two feet around the end of the ring. The posts were taken up and placed two feet inward, it isfclaimed, to accommodate the kinetoscope people. HIS SYMPATHY WITH CUBA. Congressman Grosvenor's Address on tho Attitude of this Country Toward Spain. PHILADELPHIA, March 22.-—-Congress- man Charles H. Grosvenor of Ohio, who is supposed to be close to the present ad- ministration, made a. somewhat remark- able address before the Five o’Clock club in this city last night. In speaking on the Cuban question he said that the United States would extend sympathy to Cuba, that this country had no love for the Span- ish government and never could have, but that we could not afford to declare war against Spain, because we owed it to our own constitution and the treaties which had been enacted to preserve peace. - He pooh poohed the efforts of the Cleve- land administration in devoting so much energy toward the prevention of filibuster- ing and said that with all this energy but a. single person had been convicted, and that was Captain Hart in this city. He said that he did not doubt that if the per- son who was convicted and the attorney who convicted him were brought before the public and a ballot taken the convicted man would poll 100 votes to his oppo- nent’s 1. There were loud cries for United States District Attorney James M. Beck, who was instrumental 111‘ Captain Hart’s con- viction and who was present. Mr. Beck said he had sworn to carry out the laws of the government and that he would do? so so long as he was in office. He said he had been unable to learn from Mr. Grosvenor what the policy of the present} administra- tion would be, but he expected to remain in office for a. few weeks at least. MAJOR DICK APPOINTED. , Senator Hanna. Makes Elm Secretary of the National Republican Committee. AKRON, 0., March 22.—Major Charles W. F. Dick of this city has received a message from Senator Hanna formally of- fering him the place of secretary of the Republican national committee at a sal- ary of $5,000 per year. Major Dick at once sent a. message of acceptance andwill start for Washington tomorrow. The position which the major was to oc- cupy under the administration has been a subject of much speculation. At first he was slated as private secretary. . Then a foreign consulship was mentioned. Still later the position of fourth assistant post- master general was assigned to him, and the last rumor of all was to the effect that he could be treasurer of the United States if he liked. When Major Dick was in Washington at the inauguration, President McKinley personally ofi'ered to make him fourth as 'sistant postmaster general, but the offer was declined for personal reasons and be- cause Major Dick expected to be connected with Senator Hanna's canvass for a sec- ond- term. It is said that when the president offer- ed him the place of treasurer of the United States it practically had been decided by Chairman Hanna to make him secretary of the national committee. The new sec- retary’s work during the campaign mark- ed him asa valuable man to the party,- and his appointment as secretary of the national committee is cordially indorsed here and in Cleveland.

Du Maurier, as may readily be credited, always had a. kindly word for his inferiors in. the social scale. Some years ago there was in Ham- stead-road a. pavement artist, now dead. Du Maurier often dropped a coin into the poor man’s hat. One. “Trilby” told him to leave his “pitch” and go to the model soup kitchen in Euston-road and get some dinner, promising to take charge of the hat in his absence. When the men was out of sight he proceeded to wipe out the pictures of battle scenes, faithful dogs, and. so forth, and commenced drawing por- traits in chalks of the society ladies and gentlemen made famous by him in Punch. Passers-by stopped to look and remunerated the deputy, and when, an hour later, the man re‘ turned, he was pleased to find so much in his hat, but regretted that his work had been destroyed. “This may attract some people, but it ain’t art,” he said to the amused Du Mau- rier, as be commenced wiping out the society males and females. “Now, this pleases everybody,” he contin- ued. drawing the picture of 1:1 soldier.
