Death of Miss Bayard.
Washington. Jan. 1G—Miss
Kate Bayard, eldest daughter
of the Secretary of State, died
suddenly about three o’clock
this afternoon. The reception
at the White House was sus
pended upon the leceipt of the
news of her death. Miss Bay
ard died at her home just as she
was starting to attend Miss
Cleveland's reception.
The obstacles to he me t in pre
paring for a change from 5 feet to
4 feet 9 inches are numerous, but
they arc not as serious as at first
glance they would seem to be.
The change in the track will be
made by a force of men scattered
from one end of a given line to the
other. For instance, when the
change is made between Savannah
and Macon, a sufficient force will
be engaged to cover every foot of
the space between ti e two cities,
and not more than a single day

General rains prevailed through

yesterday and to-day, nnd the la

Florida indicate that the damage
was not so great as at first
feared. In some portions of
south Florida even the fruit on

longer apprehended that any
trees, save very small ones, were*
killed. The weather here to day
was agreeable and winter sunshine
has resumed its benign swav.

a warm nook on the sunny side
of the barn and gone to sleep. A
hawk came circling around in
the air—a large red-tail, with
fiery eyes that gleamed in the
sun like diamonds. It saw the
eat and pounced down on her.
Its cruel talons had taken a good
hold before tabby know what
was up, and the bird bad risen
ten feet in the air, then there
was a yowl from the cat and the
leathers began to fly. The bird

high the hawk dropped the eat,

but tabby get the upper hold
and the hawk flew around with
one talon in the under hind
quarter of the eat while its head
and front claws were cn the
