Norton, the Manager, Fatally Injured. alia train No. 2, due at Indianapolis at yesterday afternoon, was wrecked at Catsville, twenty-six miles out. One person was killed and over thirty injured. The train was running at full speed and was about ten minutes late. It had just passed the town and was rounding a curve when the track spread. The private car of President W. R. McKeen, which was in the rear, jumped the track. This was followed by the parlor car and then the ladies’ car. All went off the track, the two rear cars going down the embankment ten feet be- fore the train cauld be stopped. The smoker left the track, but did not go over. The two rear cars caught fire, but the flames were extinguished when the work of rescue began. in John W. Norton’s pockets were found letters giving his name and showing that he had come frem St. Louis. He was carried to a school house. Mrs. W. 3. Towers of Carthage, Mo., died while being taken to the school house. The injured were carried up the embankment to houses le the track, and soon the towns- and physicians gathered to give as- sistance. The wreck and the cries of the injured and frightened passengers created a panic from which no one recovered for several minutes. Those in the day coach were the first to recover their self-possession. Rescuing the Injured. In the chair car they found injured pas< sengers pinned by a mass of broken and twisted chairs, groaning in thelr agony. ‘The stove was seen to be igniting the wood- work of the car, but a few pails of water extinguished the fire. Then the imprisoned dead and injured were extricated from under the heavy chairs. An eye-witness was President Swaine of the State University, at Bloomington, who was one of the first to reach the car where the victims lay. He said: “When I reached the car, men, women and children and chairs were piled to- wether on the side of the car which lay to the ground. The groans and cries for help were enough to paralyze any be- holder and render him Incapable of intel- ligent action. The first person taken out was Rev. Mr. Talbott of Green castle. He was bent over the chair in which he had been sitting and the chair from the oppo- site was resting on top of him. He was ious when found, and was carried little church in that condition.

Norton was fifty-three years old and an actor and manager of theaters for thirty years. He was proprietor of the Grand Opera House in St, Louls. Mr. Norton was instructor of dramatic art, and brought out Mary Anderson, who made her first appearance at the Grand Opera House, then Denar’s Opera House, under his management. He was divorced from his wife, known as Emma Stockman, who eloped in 1888 under sensational cir- cumstances with H. W. Moore, managing editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Mrs. Zelda-Seguin Wallace is one of the preminent operatic and concert singers,in the United States, although latterly ber appearances have been confined to the concert stage. She gained a national rep- utation as a member of the Hess, Emma Abbott and Duff opera companies for many seasons. She telegraphed her friends that she was not dangerously hurt, a os MADE THE SNOW BLACK. Millicns of Minute Insects Suddenly Appeared in New York State. From the New York Herald. A. communication dated from the Sulli- van County Club, Wurtsboro, N. Y., re- ceived at the Herald office recently, stated that at 5 o'clock on Wednesday, January 16, snow began to fall, continuing until there was a depth of twelva inches on the ground. There was no mud. About 1 o'clock it was observed that the snow about the club house looked black on top, and, on examination, it proved to be cov- ered with millions of minute insects, black in color and lively as fleas. At first it was suggested by some of the humorous club members that these leap- ing specks were grip microbes and pneu- meonia germs holding a levee, but it was finally decided to catch some of the jump- ing mites and mail them in en envelope to the Herald. A warning accompanied them in regard te opening the envelope, as it Was suspected from the Jumping propensi- tles they displayed that they were a new cies of flea. ut they were quite dead when they ar- rived here, and, to the naked eye, looked liks a pinch of black powder. They were formless and had no more substance, ap- parently, than so much powdered charcoal or coal dust. “This insect,” said Prof. Beutenmuller of the American Museum, “comes under the head of Thysanura, this special insect being of the Poduridae Burmeister family. They are closely related to the sugar run- ners and springtails. The springtails are the typical Thysanura. The anal bristles are united and bent beneath the body, forming the spring by which they leap to prodigious heights for such minute things. ‘These curious ttle .creatures occur verywhere except in dry places. They ake up their abode under stones and hide neath mushrooms and in damp, grassy spots. Often they leap together in the alr, looking like a shower of sand. The: Found in a single one. The embryo develops in twelve days, and the: moult often at pe- riods of fourteen day: Frof. Beutenmuller told me that all of ct showers reported from different are a result of the hatching out of | numbers of these Insects. In the Wurts- bore case, he said, they had probably come from some nearby stable or damp place, MORE SHOOTING IN BROOKLYN. Policemen Intervene to Save Trolley Car Men. A serious riot, in which a number of shots were fired by policemen, and in which ome man was probably fatally wounded,” occurred yesterday afternoon at Nostrand avenue and the Boulevard,Brook- lyn. A crowd of two hundred dragged the motorman and conductor from the car and were beating them, when Roundsman Farrell and ten patrolmen came to the rescue. The police charged, using their clubs with good effect and succeeding In scat- tering the crowd. A few seconds later the mob returned to the fight and Officer Forbes, who was on duty on the car, drew his revolver and fired a shot at the strik- ers. Several other policemen also drew their guns and opened fire on the mob. Stones, bricks and other missiles fell in showers. Several of the police were hit and slightly injured. Michael Madigan, thirty-two years of age, residing on Mal- bone street, received a bullet wound in the left side. He was removed to the hospital, where he now lies in a precarious con- fas Notwithstanding the withdrawal of first brigade and the reports that ine Seer ae = declared off, there were very lively times in the vicinit; - wood last evening. ee ee About 4 o'clock in the afternoon two be vie Pte started on the Union venue line, that runs to Green atiacked by peat enpoint, were ‘apt. itzer and a mounted saua Police dashed into the crowd, ee the mob appeared to be made up of stubborn material. Capt. Kitzer gave the word fire and the police shot over the heads of the crowd, which fled in terror when the re- volvers rang out. Earlier in the after- noon Sergt. Sutton and ha a dozen police- men raided Odd Fellows’ Hall,which is the headquarters of the strikers, and rescued five non-union men, who were held pris- orers there. Things quieted down some- what by nightfall, but hostilities were re- newed once more at 6. As a Gates uvenue car neared Hamburg street two men jump- ed on the rear platform and threw the conductor off. The strangers then leaped off and a crowd gathered. The police gave chase and fired over a dozen shots at the fugitives. A man named Livermeyer, an electrician in the employ of the company, was shot in the leg during the fusillade, and was taken in an ambulance to St. Catharine’s Hospital. He claims that he was not hit by the police, but was wounded by a shot fired from a window in the neighborhood. The police had a hand-to-hand tussle with the assembled rioters and fought with chibbed revolvers. Fully a dozen of the attacking party were injured. The police then raided Odd Fellows’ Hall again and by a free use of their night sticks, which swung right and left, quick- ly drove the strikers from their headquar- ters. One hundred and fifty of the forty-sev- enth regiment were in the depot during this melee, but the police subdued the bel- ligerents without calling on the military. soe “Jack the Slasher’ on Brondway. “Jack the Slasher” has made his appear- ance in Broadway, New York, and ladies who wear pretty coats have to keep a sharp lookout for him. He does his work when the crowds are greatest, and when women are not liable to notice a slight touch on their elbows or a trifling pull on the back of their wraps. His favorite hour is when the matinees let out their crowds in the great thoroughfare on Saturday afternoons, and the sidewalk is jammed from the shop windows to the curb. The probabilities of detection are then compara- tively small, and he picks out his victim and operates. He fs skillful, and the dam- age that he has done has never been dis- covered until some time after it was com- mitted, and he has evaded the police. eS Not Heard of for Months. The schooner yacht Mohican, which satl- ed from New York in the latter part of November, with Dr. W. Conyers Herring, his bride of a few days and Letitia Thomp- son, a young girl who ran away from home to take the strange crulse, has not been sighted by any incoming vessel, and con- siderable curiosity exists as to her where- abouts. Ghurch in Atherica. ‘The Catholic University Commended— Relations of the Faithful to Secret Societies—The Press, &c. An abstract of some Portions of the en- cyclical of Pope Leo to ithe church in this country was published in yesterday’s Star. Several of the topics were discussed at some length, especially the one relating to Archbishop Satolll. Concerning Mgr. Satolli and his power, the encyclical states that when the coun- cil of Baltimore had concluded 4ts labors the duty still remained of putting, so to speak, a proper and becoming crown upon the work. “This, we perceived, could scarcely be done in a more fitting manner than through the due establishment of the apostolic see of an American legation. Accordingly, as you are aware, we have done this. “For the Roman pontiff, upon whom Ckrist has conferred ordinary and im- mediate jurisdiction, as well over all and singular churches, as over all and singular pastors and faithful, sinte he cannot per- sonally visit the different regions, and thus exercise the pastoral office over the flock intrusted to him, finds it necessary, from time to time, in the discharge of the min- istry imposed on him, to dispatch legates into different parts of the world, according as the need arises; who, supplying his place, may correct errors, make the rough ways plain, and administer to the people confided to their care increased means of salvation.” Authority of the Bishops. But how unjust and baseless would be the suspicion, should it anywhere exist, that the powers conferred on the legate re an obstacle to the authority of the bishops. It goes on to say that “since it is the office and function of an apostolic legate, with whatsoever powers he be vested, to execute the mandates and interpret the will of the pontiff who sends him, far from his being any detriment to the ordinary powers of the bishops, he wiil rather bring an accession of stability and strength. His authority will possess no slight weight for preserving in the multitude a submis- sive spirit; in the clergy, discipline, and due reverence for the bishops; and in the bishops, mutual charity and an intimate union of souls.”” The encyclical then refers to the indis- solubility of marriage and the deadly pest of divorce. The evils of divorce are for- cibly stated, and the pope declares that divorce is as hostile to the state as to the family. The reference to the Catholic University was as follows: “For our part, we have left nothing un- done, so far as circumstances permitted, to preserve and more solidly establish among you the Catholic religion. With this tn- tent, we have, as you aro well aware, turned our attention to two especial ob- jects: first, the advancement of learning; Second, a perfecting in the methods in the management of church affairs. There al- ready, indeed, existed several distinguish- ed universities. We, however, thought it advisable that there should be one founded by the authority of the, apostolic see, and endowed by us with all suitable powers, in which Catholic professors might in- struct those devoted’ to the pursuit of learning. The design: was to begin with philosophy and theology, adding, as means and circumstances would allow, the re- maining branches; these,particularly which the present age has introduced or perfect- ed. An education cannot be deemed com- plete which takes no notice of modern sciences. It is obvious that in the exist- ing keen competition of talents, and the widespread, and in itself,noble and praise- worthy passion for knowledge, Catholics ovght to be, not followers, but leaders. It is necessary, therefore, that they should cultivate every refinement of learning and zealously train their minds to the discov- ery of truth and the investigation, so far as it is possible, of the entire domain of nature. This, in every age, has been the desire of the church. University Established. “Upon the enlargement of the boundaries of the science has she been wont to be- stow all possible labor and energy. By a letter, therefore, dated the 7th of March, in the year of our Lord 1889, directed to ycu, venerable brethren, we established at Washington, your capital city, esteemed by a majority of you a very proper seat for the higher studies, a university for the instruction of young men desirous ef pur- suing advanced courses. In announcing this matter to our venerable brethren, the cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, in consistory, we express the wish that it should be regarded as the fixed law of the uniyersity to unite erudition and learning with soundness of faith and to imbue its students not less with religion than with scientific culture.” To the bishops of the United States we intrusted the task of establishing a suitable course of studies and of supervising the discipline of the students, and we conferred the office and authority of chancellor, as it is called, upon the archbishop of Balti- more. And, by Divine favor, a quite happy beginning was made. For, without any de- lay, while you were celebrating the hun- dredth anniversary of the establishment of your ecclesiastical hierarchy, under the brightest auspices, In the presence of our delegate, the divinity classes were opened. From that time onward we know that theological science has been imparted by the diligence of eminent men, the renown of whose talents and learning receives a fitting crown in their recognized loyalty and devotion to the apostolic see. Liberal Gifts. Nor is it long since we were apprised that, thanks to the liberality of a pious priest, a new building had been construct- ed, in which young men as well as cleric and lay are to receive instruction in the natural sciences and in literature. From our knowledge of the American character we are fully confident that the example set by this noble man will incite others of your citizens to imitate him; they will not fail to realize that liberality exercised toward so great an object will be repaid by the very greatest advantage to the public. No one can be ignorant how powerfully similar institutions of learning, whether originally founded by the Roman Church herself from time to time or approved and promoted by her legislation, have contrib- uted to the spread of knowledge and civil- ization in every part of Europe. Even in our day, though other instances might be given, it is enough to mention the Univer- sity of Louvain, to which the entire Bel- gian nation ascribes its almost dally in- crease in prosperity and glory. Equally abundant will be the, benefits proceeding from the Washington University, if the professors and students (as we doubt not they will) be mindful,,of our injunctions, and, shunning party spirit and strife, con- ciliate the good opinion of the people and clergy. As to Secret Societies. The portion in referenze to secret so- cieties. was as follows: “Now, with regard to entering societies, extreme care should be taken not to be ensnared by error. And we wish to be understood as referring in a special man- ner to the working classes, who assuredly have the right +to unite in associations for the promotion of their interests, a right acknowledged by tho church and unop- posed by nature. But it is very import- ant to take heed with whom they are to associate, else, while seeking aids for the improvement of their condition, they may be imperiling far weightier interests. The most effectual precaution against this peril is to determine with themselves, at no time or in any manner, to be parties to the vio- lation of justice. Any society, therefor which is ruled by, and servilely obays, persons who are not steadfast for the right and friendly to religion, is capable of be- ing extremely prejudicial to the interests, as well of individuals as of the community; beneficial it cannot be. Let this conclu- sion, therefore, remain firm—to shun, not only those associations which have been openly condemned by the judgment of the church, but those also which, in the opin- fon of intelligent men, and especially of the bishops, are regarded as suspicious and dangerous. “Nay, rather, unless forzed by necessity to do otherwise, Catholics ought to prefer to associate with Catholics, a course which will be very conducive to the safeguarding of their faith. As presidents of societies thus formed among themselves, it would be A Menace to the Public Health Comes in the Guise of a Trifling Disorder. Since the first outbreak of the grip, several years ago, the disease has been carefully studied. It bas not improved on acquaintance. It is still regarded as one of the most treacherous and dangerous of maladies, all the more to be feared because it most often comes in the guise of a simple cold. Its true character is not always recognized until the victim Nes moaning with a pain that presses on every organ and strikes to the very bone. ‘The grip fastens {itself upon people who worry, Work too much, eat too much or too little, ex- pose themselves to cold and wet, and so get to be weak, thin-blooded and run down. Clearly, the way to avold the grip is to overcome the conditions producing it. The efficacy of a sound alcoholic stimulant is generally admitted, and the pecullar advantages of Duffy’s Pute Malt Whiskey make it the most successful of all pre- ventive remedies. A sneeze, a cough and a slight chill are the first symptoms of grip. They indicate defective circulation and general weakness. Strength, aD- petite and full regular circulation follow the use of Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. The insidious little cold never becomes anything more serious, and in a few days it goes away altogether. Good riddance to it. ‘The grip is now prevalent in the northern and eastern states, and the weather has favored its progress. It is likely to stick until spring. How to cure it is an interesting question. How to prevent is no longer a question at all. Your druggist or grocer will supply you with Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. well to appoint -either priests or upright laymen of weight and character; guided by whose counsel they should endeavor peacefully to adopt and carry into effect such measures as may seem most ad- vantageous to their interests, keeping in view the rules laid down by us in our €n- cyclical Rerum Novarum. Let them, how- ever, never allow this to escape their mem- ory; but while it is proper and desirable to assert and secure the rights of the many, yet this is not to be done by a vio- lation of duty; and that these are very im- portant duties; not to touch what belongs to another; to allow every one to be free in the management of his own affairs; not to hinder any one to dispose of his serv- ices when he pleases and where he pleases. The scenes of violence and riot which you witnessed last year in your own country sufficiently admonish you that America, too, is threatened with the audacity and ferocity of the enemies of public order. The state of the times, therefore, bids Catholics to labor for the tranquility of the commonwealth, and for this purpose to obey the laws, abhor violence, and seek noe more than equity or justice permits. Duties of Journalists. “Toward these objects much may be contributed by those who have devoted themselves to writing, and in particular by those who are engaged on the daily press. We are aware that already there labor in this field many men of skill and experience, whose diligence demands words of praise rather than of encouragement. Neverthe- less, since the thirst for reading and knowledge is so vehement and widespread among you, and since, according to cir- cumstances, it can be productive either of good or ¢vil, every effort should be made to increase the number of intelligent and well-disposed writers who take religion for their guide and virtue for their constant companion. “And this seems all the more necessary in America, on account of the familiar in- tercourse and intimacy between Catholics and those who are estranged from the Catholic name—a condition of things which certainly exacts from our people great cir- cumspection and more than ordinary firm- ness. It is necessary to instruct, admon- ish, strengthen and urge them on to the pursuit of virtue and to the faithful ob- servance, amid so many occasions of stumbling, of their duties toward the church. It is, of course, the proper func- tion of the clergy to devote their care and energies to this great work, but the age and the country require that journalists should be equally zealous in this same clause, and labor in it to the full extent of their powers. Let them, however, serious: ly reflect that their writings, if not posi- tively prejudicial to religion, will surely be of slight service to it, unless in concord of minds they all seek the same end. Discord to Be Avoided. “Those who desire to be of real service to the church, and with their pens heartily to defend the Catholic cause, should carry on the conflict with perfect unanimity, and, as it were, with serried ranks; for they rather inflict than repel war if they waste their strength by discord. In like manner, their work, instead of being profitable and frult- ful, becomes injurious and disastrous, whenever they presume to call before their tribunal the decisions and acts of bishops, and, casting off due reverence, cavil and find fault, not perceiving how great a dis- turbance of order and how many evils are thereby produced. Let them, then, be mind- ful of their duty, and not overstep the preper limits of moderation. The bishops, placed in the lofty position of authority, are to be obeyed; and suitable honor, befit- ting the magnitude and sanctity of their office should be paid them. Now, this rey- erence, ‘which is lawful to no one to neglect, should, of necessity, be eminently conspicuous in Catholic journalists. For journals naturally circulating far and wide come daily into the hands of everybody, and exert no small influence upon the opin- icons and morals of the multitude.” “We have, ourself, on frequent occasions, laid down many rules respecting the duties cf a good writer, many of which were unanimously inculcated, as well by the third council of Baltimore, as by the arch- bishops in their meeting at Chicago, in the year 1893. Let Catholic writers, therefore, bear impressed in their minds our teach- irgs and yours on this point, and let them resolve that their entire method of writing shall ba thereby guided, if they, indeed, de- sire, as they ought to desire, to discharge their duty well. Indians and Negroes. “Finally, we cannot pass over in silence those whose long-continued unhappy lot implores and demands succor froia men of apostolic zeal. We refer to the Indians and negroes who are found within the confines of America, the greatest portion of whom have not yet dispelled the dark- ness of superstition. How wide a field for cultivation! How great a multitude of hu- man beings to be made partakers of the blessings derived through Jesus Christ! “Meanwhile, as a presage of heavenly graces and a testimony of our benevolence, we, most lovingly in the Lord, impart to you, venerable brethren, and to your clergy and people, our apostolic benedic- tion.” —__ Said by a Child. From the New York Tribune. Pious thoughts with tender years some- times produce amusing results. Wilson, six years old, got among his Christmas presents a.child’s Bible. Wilson is not an angel. For that matter he is several de- grees removed from an angelic state, but he has become fascirated with his Bible. He wants Sunday school readings morning, noon and night, seven days in the week. Especially does he want them at night. It may be said here that he loathes going to bed and he detests going to sleep. One of Wilson's unangelic habits is lying awake after he has been put to bed, sing- ing, talking to himself, reciting French verses and calling for drinks of water. After he had suffered from a particularly violent attack of unangelic spirit the other evening, his mother went to the door of his little sleeping room. “My son,” she said, sleep.” “It’s no use for me to try to go to sleep, mamma,” he answered sweetly. “I can’t do anything but just lie here and think of Jesus and the angels.” Wilson may be very bad, but his judg- ment of himself is extremely accurate. “yeu must go to “Mamma,” he said, thoughtfully, on an- other evening, “I guess I have been pretty bad today.” “Oh, not very bad,” said his mother. “How old,” he asked abruptly, sun?” “Oh, over a million years, I suppose."* nd the moon?” ver a million, too, I suppose.”? nd God—Kow old ‘is God?” “Well—ar—He is older than the moon, of course, and the sun.” “Yes,” said Wilson, with a sigh, “that's the trouble. He’s too old for me.’ I guess that’s why we don’t get along better!” R SLEEPLESSNESS Use Horsford’s Acid Phosphate.

A Remarkable Case of Resuscitation After Suffering a Lightning Stroke. From the Quincy Daily Herald. This case came under the writer’s obser- vation on the lith of June, 1869. It was near Stanwood, Cedar county, Iowa, on a clear and extremely warm day. Theodore Clothier, a carpenter, twenty-nine years of age, was riding along the road bestriding a saddleless horse. In all the sky there was only one cloud visible, and it a compar- atively small one. Two men in a light wagon had just passed Clothier when a tremendous thunderclap was heard. Look- ing back they saw horse and rider prone on the ground. The lightning struck Clothier in the right breast, passed down his body, through the horse and into the ground. The horse and rider were in- stantly “killed.” The rider tumbled over backward and was apparently as thoroghly killed as ever a Nghtning-killed man was when the two men reached him. They found his clothing on fire and extinguished it. The vest was found to have been charred from the armhole to the lapel on the right side. The hair was burned from his forehead, and his eyebrows and eye- lashes were burned off. From near the shoulder to below the ribs was black, scar- red flesh that rubbed off on being touched; below was a wound as large in dimensions as a man’s hand, and so deep that when the incinerated cuticle was removed the internal organs were exposed. From this point the lightning shot to a rule carried in a pocket made for it in the trousers’ hip. The rule had brass tips that were melted by the heat and were found in the form of a ball in the pocket. His keys and the ring to which they were attached and the nail set he carried in the pocket were likewise melted into a solid mass, as wer? the blades of his knife. While the two men were discussing what was to be done, a local character living in the farmhouse near which Clothier was killed, a veteran of the war, generally re- garded as a harmless, well-meaning crank, approached and declared the intention of bringing the man back to life. The group who had gathered were not inclined to con- sider the crank’s proposition seriously, and decided to remove Clothler’s remains to his house, and aid in preparing them for burial, But the fellow was a determined character, and exhibited such capacity for having his own way, that the crowd sur- rendered and let him have it. He rolled the body over on its left side, and as he did so the burned flesh from the right side fell off. The people who had congregated beg- ged him to desist, but he didn’t. “If he's dead I guess it won't hurt him,” was his reply, and he continued to rub the body vigorously where it had been burned. He never let up, and in three or four hours the dead man showed signs of life. Water was sent for and his face was bathed. He was removed to a house near by and turn- ed over to three doctors who had been summoned. When restored to full consclousness he was in such excruciating pain that he had to be placed under the influence of opiates. This course was continued for nearly four days. He suffered greatly even after that, but his burns healed and he recovered his health. He is now fifty-five years old, and is proprietor of a boarding house at Olin, Iowa. In two senses he still suffers from the cffects of his experience when he was “killed” by lightning. Be- fore the approach of an_ electric storm, sometimes as long as four days, he suddenly becomes drowsy, and all ef- forts to awaken him are futile until after the storm has passed and the electrically charged air has given way to a clearer at- mosphere. His eyesight has never been strong since, and he is obliged to wear a cap that comes well down over his fore- head, and is provided with a peak. In talking with the writer recently, Mr. Clothier expressed the opinion that had he been covered with dirt as soon as anima- tion had been restored he would not now be troubled with the sensations that pre- cede the arrival of a thunder storm. He added that he believes his is the only case of its kind on record. He is a Canadian by birth, but came to this country when only seven years of age, his parents moving to New York state. He came west as a young man, and served during the late war as a member of company G, thirty-first Iowa volunteers. On the close of the war he re- turned to Iowa, and has resided there ever since. The flash that struck him killed the horse after it had passed down his body, leaving scars—dark, red, angry scars—as plain to- day as they were twenty-five years ago. The course pursued in restoring him to life was very similar to that pursued with artificial respiration as a basis. Had this not been resorted to there is no manner of doubt that Mr. Clothier’s body would have been lying in its grave for a quarter of a century. He would not have returned to consciousness. His case goes to prove that electricity as a death-dealing agency is not to be de- pended upon. It may be terrible in its in- tensity and power, but by no means is it certainly and instantaneously fatal—or neo- essarily fatal at all. —_—see——___ Midst of Salt Water. From the St. Louls Republic. In regard to the fresh water “ponds,” or “shoals of green water,” which were dis- covered in the Gulf of Mexico in 1894,1 have gathered the following facts: The first and larger of the two is only about ten miles from the mouth of the Mississippi, and is believed te be an immense spring, such as would result from the opening of an un- derground river. This belief is based cn the fact that at about the center of the pond or fresh water patch there is a sand cone—the gulf wager at the apex of the cone being only fifty-four feet deep, while in all directions from it the depth is from 600 to 900 feet. The other fresh water patch is about twenty-five miles from the mouth of the Mississipp!, in 27 degrees south latitude, 88 degrees and 20 minutes west. The best theory that has been ad- vanced to account for them is that they are the mouths of enormous underground and submarine rivers which have their sources in the Rocky mountains. Such under- ground rivers have been tapped at many points in Texas, Indian territory and Kan- s, and an old sea captain, engaged in Central American trade, says that the fact of such streams bursting forth in the bot- t of the gulf has been known for a cen- +202 Bourke Cockran Going to Europe. Congressman W. Bourke Cockran and Mrs. Cockran sail for Europe on Friday. Mr. Cockran’s plans are not fully matured, but it is probable that he and his wife will spend the remainder of the winter and spring in southern Europe, and it 1s pos- sible that a trip up the Nile will be taken before they return. 7
