* A Wonderful Pump.
If the details and figures given by a
correspondent of the Chicago Record
are exact concerning one of the pumps
of the Calumet and Hecla mine, it is,
without doubt, the greatest mechanism
of the kind In the world, its capacity of
water delivery being some 2,500,000
gallons every hour in the twenty-four,
and even then without reaching its u
most. The apparatus is a triple-ex- i
panslon of 00,000,000 pumping gallons, engine standing with a capacl- j j
ty near- j
ly fifty feet in height and requiring
1,500-horse power for its operation, j
and it has been proved by actual tests l
that its nominal performance can j j
easily be maintained for an indefinite
time without injury or strain, and that, f
pushed to the full extent, the pump |
could handle approximately 75,000,000
gallons in twenty-four consecutive
hours. The purpose of this pump is to
furnish water for the great, stamp |
mills of the Calumet and Hecla Com- j
pany, which has twenty-two steam I
pumps in continuous operation, daily |
pulverizing 5,000 tons of conglomerate i
rock into sand so fine that it can bo i
carried away by a stream of swiftly ;
running water. The pump is located j
near the lake shore and below the
mills, so as to force a steady stream of |
water to the upper portions of the I
mill, where innumerable small jets
play upon the great slime tallies anil
Jigs. Here it Is that the specific grav- I
ity of the fine particles of copper con¬ |
tained in the rock separate the valu¬
able mineral from the mass of worth- j
less sand, the size and force of the i
streams of water being so nicely regu¬
lated as to wash away the sand and yet
carry with It the minimum of copper.
Benefit of Horn Shedding.
The large blood vessels that feed the
horns, xihile they arc still “In the vel¬
vet,’’ furnish so much bony substance
that the vessels are constricted and so
shut off; this can be seen at the base
of a pair of preserved horns, where
the channels between ridges were vein
courses. Thus the horn dies, drops Its
velvet skin, or It is worn off. and tbe
horn Itself ultimately drops or Is
knocked off. This Is well for the ani¬
mal, as the horn-growing Is a great
draught, on vital force, and Is only
ncedei' for the lighting season, Tn
one genus that of the reindeer, the fe-
binle also has horns, hut it. Is a case
not of need, probably, hut of general

Peculiar Foot of the Reindeer,
The foot of the reindeer is cloven in
tie middle, and each half is turned up
in front. These two sections of the
foot are greatly elongated, and capable
of great lateral expansion. When tho
foot Is placed on the ground the t%vo
sections expand three or four inches,
and when it is raised again a muscular
contraction brings the two digits to¬
gether with a loud clattering noise, it
is this peculiar sound which one hears
half a mile away when the reindeer
ate approaching, Secondary hoofs
that are not developed in other deer
are greatly prolonged in tho reindeer,
nnd having a slight backward inclina¬
tion, they add valuable support to the
animal. Thus, with such a peculiar
foot conformation, the reindeer se-
cures a good foothold on any solid sub-
stance, and performs wonders of
strength aud agility within the Arctic
circle where all other animals are
placed at a disadvantage.

A ppeoift! from Garrisons, N. Y
fitafofl . . that . !l feflrfnl , , , catastrophe A 4 oc-
mured on the Hudson Itiver railroad
Sunday morning,
Prom the sleep that means refresh -
ment and rest, to the eternal sleep
that knows no waking, plunged, in
the twinkling of an eye, twenty-eight
souls—men, women and children. Into
the slimy bed of the Hudson river a
train laden with slumbering humanity
plowed, dragging through the watefs
the passengers. There was nothing
to presage the terrible accident which
so suddenly deprived those nnfortu-
fortunates of life.
The Now York Central train left
Buffalo Saturday night and had pro-
grossed for nearly nine-tenths of the
distance toward its destination, when
with the great engine, plunged into
the depths of the river. Neither (n-
gineer nor fireman will ever tell the
story of that terrible moment, for with
his hand upon the throttle, the en-
gineer plunged with his engine to the
river bottom and the fireman, too, was
at his post. Behind them came the
express ear, the combination car and
the sleepers, and these piled on top of
the engine.
It is known that, the morning was a
trifle foggy and that the track was not
visible, biit if there was any break in
the lines of steel it must have been of
very recent happening, for only an
hour before there had passed over it a
heavy passenger, train, laden with hu-
man freight. Neither is there an ex-
plaiiation ready. 'of All is conjecture.
The section road was supposed to
be the very best on the entire division,
What seems to have happened was
flint underneath the tracks and tics the
heavy wall had given way and when
the great weight, of the engine struck
the. unsupported tracks it went crash-
ing through the rest of the wall and
toppled over into the river.
Then there happened what on tbe
railroad at any other time would linvo
caused disaster, but now proved n verv
blessing. As the train plunged over
the embankment the coupling that, held
the last three sleepers broke anti they
miraciilouslv remained on the broken
track, lii that way some sixty lives
were raved.
Of eye witnesses, there were none
except the crew of a tugboat passing
with a tow.
They saw the train with its light as
it came dashing about the curves, and
then saw the greater part of it go into
the river. Some of the cars with
closed windows floated, and tire tug,
whistling for help, cast off its hawser
and started to the rescue.
There were in the smoker, in affili-
nm to tlm Poekskill, baggage man, Herman Ac-
ker of who was m Ins com-
partment; eight umnnmen, en route,
from the Canadian bonier to New
\ork, an<l aman supposed to bo Thom-
as Reilly, ot ht. Louis. All of these
excepting the baggage master perished.
llxe day conch contained eighteen or
twenty passengers, many of whom
were women and children.
How many of these escaped is not
known, hut at least twelve were
drowned or lulled in this ear. Behind
the eoneli were the six sleepers, the
Glenalpme, with fifteen passengers;
ho Hermes, with twelve passengers;
"I’ cL el n ,; 1B l ’"'VI’
wRh u about , fifteen: Anita nearly , full,
and the Ivaoket lviver, with no passen-

MISTRIAL DECLARED IN THE CEL¬
EBRATED MURDER CASE.
THREE STOOD OUT FOR ACQUITTAL
The Ilig Sntisagcmaker Furnishes a State¬
ment to Representatives of the
Associated Fress.
A Chicago special says: The Luet-
gert jury failed to agree and asa.result
a mistrial in the celebrated case was
declared by Judge Tuthill Thursday
morning.
As soon as the court was called to
order Foreman Heiekhold handed the
following to Clork Enoch, who, by
order of tbe court read it aloud:
“We, the jurors in the case of the
i people of the stnte of Illinois, vs. A.
L. Luetgert, tender to the presiding
.judge, the Hon. Richard S. Tuthill,
and the brilliant state’s attorney,
Charles 8. Dcneen, and his no less
brilliant assistant, Mr. W. M. Me-
Ewen, as well as the attorneys for the
defense, our most heartfelt thanks for
the very kind treatment we have re¬
ceived at their hands, and we do not
j j hesitate the in to which state that they were have it attended not for
way
to our personal comfort, as well as to
; j our sanitary condition, the hardship
would have been very great.
“As to the trial we wish to state
that, while the evidence was such that
we were unable to agree upon a ver¬
dict, one tiling we did agree about,
and that is that the circumstances
were such that the police had ample
reason to prosecute on the showing
without hearing the defense, and we
commend them for having done their
duty on this case.”
This was sigtied by Foreman Heick-
hold and tbe balance of the jury.
The jurors were evidently of the
opinion that the statement was enough
to give the public at this time.
The twelve men were divided as fol¬
lows:
For conviction nnd the death penal¬
ty—Heiekhold, Boyd,Bibby,Mahoney,
Behmiller, Hosmer, Shaw, Pranzen
and Fowler.
Por acquittal—Hnvley, Holnbirn and
Barber.
IiUctgcrt’B Statement..
Thursday night the Associated Press
obtained the one great feature missing
in the famous trial—the sworn testi¬
mony of the defendant himself.
Standing in the gloomy jail adjoin¬
ing the grim looking gray stone court
building in which his remarkable trial
had at last been brought to a finish,
the burly sausage manufacturer capped
tbe climax of the extraordinary scries
of events which began with his sensa¬
tional bankruptcy nnd the alleged
frightful diabolism of boiling his wife
to death at midnight in a vat in his
factory cellar.
Closely following the final result
of the trial, which lias attracted
world-wide attention, Luetgert made
under oath a statement for the Asso¬
ciated Press concerning the fearful
crime charged against him, the first
sworn statement vet made by him,
and the first sworn statement of such
kind ever known in newspaperau-
I ,,a!s ' The affidavit was put in writing,
m ,1uo !e & nl form - and is certified to

The affidavit explioitedly declares
Luetgert’s innocence. The document
in is «« Allows:

BY MAIL OR EXPRESS.
Officials of a Leading Company Comment
on the Recent Loss.
From the New York Herald.
Recent press dispatches, raporting
the mysterious disappearance of a
large sum of money in transit through
the mails from a banking house in
Chicago to one of its western corres-
pondents, prompted an inquiry as to
the cause for such an amount being
intrusted to the postal service, and,
when approached on the subject, a
prominent official of one of the leading
express companies stated that the last
year had witnessed a radical change
in the transporation of moneys, which
formerly had all been forwarded by
express, but were now being sent in
many instances by mail, the aggregate
postage and registry fees representing
a difference as compared with express
rates that tempted many to depart
from the old method and adopt the
new.
The official added further that fre¬
quent tinin robberies had compelled
the express companies to go to great
expense in equipping their through
cars with stationary combination safes,
which as recent “hold-ups” bad prov¬
en, afford security against any at¬
tempts on the part of road agents to
get at the contents, but that even
should they succeed in the majority of
cases little would now be obtained for
their pains on account of the diversion
of the moneys from express to the
mails, and it would not be unnatural
to expect that “Uncle Horn” would
soon have his hands full looking after
the protection of the valuable parcels
in his care, as train robbery will, of
course, go where the money it, and it
is now in the mail instead of the ex¬
press car.
Inquiry as to what steps the express
companies would take to regain the
traffic elicited the reply that they had
expended all the revenues from this
source in the past in surrounding the
money with every possible protection
and running dowh and punishing
theives, and that they would simply
wait until such losses as the one re¬
ferred to and the attention of train
robbers to this new channel for trans¬
porting moneys proved it to be neither
a successful nor profitable experiment.
GIRL’S OWN SCHEME.
Sensational Sequr-l to the Henthcock
“Assault” at ChlekamauKA Park.
A Chattanooga, Toun., special says:
A sensation that has set the people of
that section agog with excitement de¬
veloped at Chickamauga park Friday.
Several months a go the whole of
north Georgia, as well as Chattanooga,
was aroused over what was at the time
reported to be a brutal attempt by an
unknown man w ith led hair and blue
eyes to assault the seventeen-year-old
daughter of James Heathcoclc, an em¬
ploy's of the park commissioners.
Ten or fifteen men, in a measure
answering the description of the
“brute,’’were arrested and taken before
the Heatheock women, and a lynching
was only averted because they pro¬
nounced each mail “not the guilty one.”
The girl became a mother a few days
ago and Heatheock, the father, was
much surprised, he having along with
the public beon misled by the story of
the criminal assault. Ho began an in¬
vestigation and now states that thero
was no criminal assault, but that the
girl had been beaten into insensibility
by she the mother on the occasion when
was found insensible by one of the
guards, and that the story of the crim¬
inal assault was concocted in order to
save the girl’s reputation. There wms
a standing reward for the arrest of the
“fiend,” which has now' been with¬
drawn when the facts as stated became
known.
AGED COUPLE MURDERED.
Their Homo Burned Down Upon Their
Remains—Robbery the Object.
Interest in the progress of ihe' fever
in Biloxi was swallowed np in the ex¬
citement of a most horrible murder
and arson, committed Friday morning
upon a most estimable couple of elder¬
ly people living out on Back Bay,
about three or four miles from the
city.
Word was received in the city about
4 a. m. that the Parkhurst property had
been burned aud that Mr. J. L. Park-
hurst and his wife had been consumed
in the, flames. A man named Gibson,
his wife and one Volkes are tinder ar-
rest. The autopsy showed that the
couple had been murdered for the pur-
pose of robbery, and evidence showed
that they had been killed before they
retired.

A TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM i r
J Anemia.
About the Cause of *
* jpifagSglfl Everybody into this world with
• * comes a pre*
I | i* ' disposition to disease of some particular tissue;
iu other words, everybody has a weak spot.
M By tta iy / J In ninety-nine cases out of a hundred the
| vfeak spot in women is somewhere in the uter-
i ine system. The uterine organs have less ree
w’lril. ,) ' sistance to disease than the vital organs; that’s
why they give out the soonest.
' Not more than one woman in -a hundred—
nay., in five hundred—has perfectly healthy organs of generation. This points
to the stern necessity of helping one's self just as soon as the life powers seem
to be on the wane.
Excessive menstruation is a sign of physical weakness and want of tone
in the uterine organs. It saps the strength away and produces anemia (blood
turns to water). v
If you become anemic, there is no knowing what will happen. If your gums
and the inside of your lips amj inside your eyelids look pale in color, you are
in a dangerous way and must stop that drain on your powers. Why not build
up on a generous, uplifting tonic, like Lydia L. Pinkham s
Vegetable Compound? Ehp.ig, 413 Church St., Bethlehem, Pa., fM V {

AFTER THE SURRENDER.’
General Cract Would Permit No Celebra¬
tion at Appomottax.
General Horace Porter, in his ‘ Cam¬
paigning with Grant,” in the Century,
describes the surrender at Appomat
tox. General Porter says:
Before parting Lee asked Grant to
notify Meade of the surendcr, fearing
that fighting might break out on that
front, and lives be uselessly lost.. This
request w'as complied w'ith, and two
Union officers were sent through the
enemy's lines as the shortest route to
Meade, some of Lee’s officers accom¬
panying them to prevent their being
interfered w'ith. A little before four
o’clock General Lee shook hands with
General Grant, bow'ed to the other of¬
ficers, and with Colonel Marshall left
the room. One after another we fol¬
lowed, and passed out to the porch.
Lee signaled to his orderly to bring up
his horse, and while the animal was
being bridled the general stood on the
lew'est step, and gazed sadly in the di¬
rection of the valley beyond, where
his army lay—now an army of pri¬
soners. He thrice smote the palm of
his left hand slowly with his right
fist in an absent sort of way, seemed
not to see the group of Union officers
in the yard, who rose respectfully at
his approach, and. appeared unaware
of everything about him. All appre¬
ciated the sadness that overwhelmed
him, and he had the personal sym¬
pathy of every one who beheld him
at this supreme moment of trial. The
approach cf his horse seemed to re-
cal him from his reverie, and he at
once mounted. General Grant now
, stepped dow'n from the porch, moving
toward him, and saluted him by rais¬
ing his hat. He was followed in this
act of courtesy by all our officers pres¬
ent. Lee raised his hat respectfully,
and rode off at a slow trot to break
the sad news to the brave fellow's whom
he had so long commanded.
General Grant and his staff then
started for the headquarters camp,
which, in the meantime, had been
pitched near-hy. The news of the sur-
render had reached the Union lines,
and the firing of salutes began at sev-
oral points, but the general sent an
order at once to have them stopped,
using these words: ‘‘The war is over;
the rebels are our countrymen again;
and the best sign of rejoicing after
the victory -wil be to abstain from all
demonstrations in the field.” This
was in keeping with his order issued
after the surrender of Vicksburg:
“The paroled prisoners will be sent
out of here to-morow. * * ln-
struct the commanders to be orderly
and quiet as these prisoners pass, and
to make no offensive remarks."
