TQRN TO PlECEb, A Harrtn Lawrence Farmer Instantly Kill­

e d . - W h i l e Chopping a Tree It ToppUd Before He Had Finished.-'Heart, Arms and Lege Picked Up Several Feet Away,

NOBTH LAWRENCE, Jan. a—Alexander Tegeau, a farmer l iving at North Lawrenoe, while engaged Thursday In chopping trees In the woods near his home, met with one of the moat terrible acoldeuts that has ever occurred la this locality aud waa instantly kil led.

He had partially chopped off the trunk of a tree when It toppled and the butt end struck him In the stomach ripping him to pieces. Hla entrails were scattered In all directions and his heart waa picked np ten feet away.

Hla tegs and arms were torn from the body and thrown in another direction. The remainder of his body was torn Into fragments,

PYRITES AT OX BOW-

Wot Enough Gold to Pay, Bat There Is Wealth lu the Industry to he fcstablUhed.

Ox Bow, Jan. 9 — I t now teems certain that the gold and pyrites mines near this place it toon to be worked, A huge number of prospectort have been attracted here, and local enterprise has resulted in the formation of a stock company. The mines will be worked for the pyrites of iron it contains only, as several testi have shown that it does not contain enough gold to pay for mining, while, on the other hand, it is extremely rich in pyrites. A number of very successful ex­periments have been made, much to the sat­isfaction of the promoters. At soon as the actual mining operations are started a sul­phurous works will be established here. The claim where the mining will be done at pres­ent is what is known as the old gold mine on the C. W. Gteason farm, a very short dis­tance from this place. There are also large deposits of the same mineral for miles around which will probably be worked sooner or later. Therefore the idea of locating a sul­phuric acid works at this place will not seem so preposterous as one might at first imagine.

At the present time it seems not only pos­sible but highly probable that our little town wilt be awakened from the peaceful slumber it has indulged in since It birth about 85 years ago, and that the much desired boom will l>e upon us to remain. And the most interesting of it is that Ox How biains and hustle are at the bottom of it

Th* State Prison Commission has made its report on the inspection of the jails in the state. Regarding the St Lawrence county jail the report is as follows:

St, Lawrence county jail at Canton—In­spected Nov. 14, 1899; prisoners in confine­ment, 45; awaiting action of grand jury, 4; under sentence. 41; average, 45. The pris­oners in this jail have to their credit the past year 2,500 days work. A building 30x50 feet it being erected by them, in which they are to break stone during the closing winter.

Franklin county jail at Malone—Inspected Nov. 20, I8Q<); prisoners in confinement, 19; number indicted awaiting trial, 6; under sen­tence, 6; Chinamen awaiting deportment. 7. No employment is furnished inmates. The arrangement of the jail for grading prisoners is very poor.

Sugar Beet Contracting.

Oao. C. MoMullin of the Jefferson Htigar Beet Refining company has been in the city for the purpose of contracting with neighboring farmers for the cultivation of A00 acres of sugar beets. Mr. McMulliu Is sounding the farmers with reference to the subject, and If he reoelyes sufficient en­couragement he will probably call a meet­ing for the discussion of the matter and signing acreage contracts. During the past few days he has visited Massena, Potsdam and Canton, and contracted for a large number of acres in each town. The soil in the town of Lisbon Is believed to be well adapted for sugar lieet raising, and Mr. McMullIn hopes to secure large acreage contracts In that vicinity. The close water connection between Ogdensburg and Clay­ton, where the factory will be built, makes this point particularly advantageous for sugar beet growers In shipping their pro­duct, and should be an extra inducement to prospective contractors with the com­pany.— Kx.

We serve without pay, ba t are excused from all detail duty and ail we have to do Is to keep the sleeping apartment In order. A janitor is paid for keeping the engine room in order, keeps np the fires, attends to the lamps and does all the reat of the work about the place

The first bugle blows at half past five a. m., breakfast at half past six. I drew my olothing Tuesday, all exoept my panta. There were none large enough about the waist, will draw again soon.

About $100,000 waa left here in the Home, and the boys have been making it lively at the canteen ever since- We draw our pen­sion here just the same as we did outside. I have been transferred from the Knox-vllle, Tenn., agency to the Buffalo agency and reoeived my voucher for two months' pay to be sent in the 4th of Jan. I was out ou a pass yesterday and am going out again Saturday. I took my watch out to get cleaned.

The grounds here are both beautiful and extensive. About 70 acres are comprised within the Home grounds. The weather Is quite cold here, a little snoW fell last night just enough to whiten the grounds.

The battle ship Texas is here from Cuba with the remains of the victims of the battle ship Maine. They are transferred to a smaller steamer here which will take them to the National cemetery at Arling-near Washington, D. C.

I have attended the theatre three times since 1 haye been here, which la free to in­mates of the Home.

SHE WANTED 415.

IwsMerwant a t t h e T e l e p h o n e Olrf W h o Sasrsrested AmblR-alty.

A number of women were waiting in a long line for a chance to use one tele­phone in n dry goodH store in the shop­ping district. Naturally they blamed the telephone operator, who was perfectly cool and apparently idle, and not helping at all. All she ditl was now and then— every five minutes, in fact—to pull n wire here and touch a button there. The wo­men, one snd all, thought this was in­considerate. A clerk certainly ought to keep people from talking HO long, or at least bustle nround and make s show of waiting on tho others. Finally one wo­man could stand It n<> longer. Hushing from the line, she went up to the opera­tor and said:

"I want 415." "What?" said the operator. "Four hundred and tif teen," replied

the customer. "Four hundred and fifteen what?" said

the operator. "You impertinent huflBy, I want you to

give me 415 immediately," was the con­tinuation.

"Yes, but Cortlandt or Eighteenth street or what? There are several 415s. Which do you want?"

"Not being a telephone person, I do not know such things," waa the Indignant re­tort.

The operator asked whom she wanted. "You're Impertinent. Why should I

Inform you whom I want to talk to?" And she looked around to the waiting line for commendation.

The girl then handed her the telephone book. She found the number. It was an up town station. Instead of tele­phoning, however, she waited to speak her mind. Meanwhile the sixth person behind her was talking over the wire. She was then told that she must wait her turn again.

"I'll do no such thing; I'll send a tele­g r a m I won't patronise a company that has such Insulting employees."— N e w York Commercial Advertiser.

His Fal lors Will Have Litt le BJTeet on the Maaaeaa. Canal Work,

M A M E N A , Jan. 9. - T h e failure of Stanley H. O. Stewart, doing business as btewart A Co., bankers and brokers on Wall street, New York city, created much interest throughout this locality owing to bis very prominent connection with the Massena canal enterprise.

It waa Stewart who purchased from the Original St. Lawrence Power company the charter, and who with his associates sno-oeeded in interesting the English capital­ist*, of whom Messrs. Moreing and A r m ­strong are the leading spirits. Mr. Stewart held a large block of the stock of the St. L#wrenoe Power company, and in the re­

organisation of the comuauy a year ago there w a s * disagreement lu the division of the new stock of the company and it is generally thought that Stewart was "frozen out," along with some others,. The result was that he sued Mr. Moreing and the other members of the company for $100,000 damages. Since that t ime Mr. Stewart has had no official connection with the com­pany.

The failure of Mr- Stewart wil l not have the least effect on the prosecution of the work on the Massena enterprise. It has been known in Wail street for a long t ime that Stewart's affairs were In a shaky con­dition and the result is not a surprise to anybody.

H e B a r r e d S a w l a s j W o o d . A s will be seen, it makes a great differ­

ence how one uses the muscular resources at one's command. A member of an ath­letic club after swimming the length of the largo tank in the basement of the in­stitution, cnnip out puffing and blowing, apparently exhausted.

"You don't manage your breathing right," said the swimming instructor. "It ought uot to tire you so. As to the upper part of your body, including your arms, you use exactly the same muscles and in very much the same way In swim­ming aa in sawing wood."

"No, sir!" gasped the swimmer. "When it conies to that, I use the muscles of some other man."

D l g n t i r . i ought not to allow any man ba^awse

he ban brntid lands to feci thst he is rich in my presence. I ought to make him feel that 1 can do without his riches, that I cannot be bought—neither by comfort, neither by pride - and although 1 be ut­terly penniJesH and receiving bread from him that he is the poor m m beside me.— Emerson.
