The landlord owned a pretty little place, worth about $2,000, with a cozy cottage, a nice garden and play ground and a little spring of water affording a scant supply for family use, except ina wet season, The tenant took a lease of this little home- stead at $200 a year. After a while the land- lord conceived the idea of improving his prop- yaweil, and he entered into a contract 1,009 to dig and wall the well with a supply of water and to restore every- 4 ut it in good condition, and to secure prompt work and fidelity in the fulfillment he anced the amount of the contract. ‘The con- ‘actor went to work, destroying the tenant's garden, tearing up his children’s play ground and completely draining the spring of water. ‘Then after it was nearly dug out he threw up his contract, leaving a deep and dangerous hole tose by the family residence. Thereupon the landlord notified the tenant that the rent thereafter would be increased £100 to reimburse lim for the expense incurred for the well—that the failure was merely a mis- take of his such as all landlords are liable to make and that thenceforth the tenant's children could play on the street and that his family could go to their neighbors for water and to the market for their garden vegetables. ‘The tenant consults Lawyer Edmunds and is informed that such is the law and that he ought to rejoice to get rid of the mistake of his landlord ly; that in a similar case down in Washington the poor water takers who had long been struggling against a water famine had to pay an additional 21,000,000 for a still more aggravating and serious blunder of their irrespousible oppressors, 8.C.C, ——____ Wesleyan University Alumni Society.

David Hunnicutt, a railroad contractor, and one of the best-known and most popular men in Birmingham, Ala., was murdered at his resi- dence near Henry Ellen Monday night. Hun- nicutt had just eaten supper and gone into the parlor of his house when the shot was fired, entering bis brain and causing instant death. His wife, who was in the kitchen at the time the shot was fired, came into the front room to inquire if her husband had heard it and found him in the agonies of death. The shock was too great for her and her reason is despairea No possible clue exists ag to the assassin, as Hunnicutt, so far as is known, did not have an enemy im the world, unless two negroes, who had been discharged trom his employ, cherished an enmity against him.

After a Long Struggle They Give Up and Drop Into the Water. John Murray and William Travers were drowned off Gale's fishing shore near the mouth of Worton creck, Maryland, Monday night. Capt. William Vane, with Murray, a fisherman, and Travers, a farm hand living on the farm of Mr. John Gale, started out in a fishing boat and were struck by a heavy gale, The boat successfully weathered the blows until within about a mile of the shore off the mouth of Worton creek, when it capsized. Murray and Travers hung on to the ceuter board, while Vane clung to the radder iron. All would possibly have gone well had not the boat’s anchor gone out and kept the boat from floating ashore with her three helpless occu- lees Murray and Travers became exhausted luring the night and dropped off and were drowned, -Capt, Vane, after a terrible exper- ience, succeeded in securing a position on the boat's bottom and cut the anchor rope and the boat drifted until the mouth of Fair Lee creek was reached, when he was picked up by Fisher- man Zanker. The bodies of the two drowned men have not been found. Murray and Vane were from Melitota, but Vane, during the fish- ing season, lives in a shanty on the shore at the mouth of Worton cree! Murray was unmar- ried, but Travers leaves a wife and three small children, ae onary A prominent Chicago operator, who isalways on hand in the corn pits, says that his business has been greatly benefited by the war on the bucket shops.
