MAY HAVE BLOWN UP.
No Tidings of the German Oil Car-
ricr Kinndrn.
The well-known German bark Klandra,
Captain H. Bunje, which sailed from
Philadelphia for Portishead. England, on
October 23. laden with 5S01 barrels of
naphtha. 1000 barrels of gasoline and 500
barrels of benzine, and, never since been
heard from, is believed to have blown up
at sea, and all hands, 14 in number, killed.
The first intimation of the vessel's prob
able loss was contained in a cablegram
received at New York from London, which
stated that at Lloyds' SO guineas per cent
were being demanded to effect her reinsur
ance. Her cargo is qne of the most dan
erouc that is carried by vessels, and the
Klandra, being in every way a stanch
craft, her probable loss, with all hands,
can be traced to no other cause than an
explosion.
The missing vessel is one of the smart
est sailers afloat, and had not some seri
ous accident overtake!- her, she should
have reached her destination not later
than November 25. Very heavy weather
was experienced on the Atlantic soon after
the Klandra sailed, and if her cargo got
loose in the hold, friction could be easily
caused by the barrels, which are all bound
with Iron hoops, rubbing together, and
creating a spark which would be sure to
ignite the gases arising in the craft's
hold
The Klandra, In her day, was the fa
mous passenger clipper City of Paris, i
built at Connels' shipyards, Glasgow,
Scotland, in 1862. Despite her 40 years
of service she appeared like a new ves
sel, and maintained Lloyds' highest class.
She Is 990 tons register, 210 feet long,
31 feet beam, 21 feet deep, and Is owned
in Bremen by H. Blschoff. Her hull Is
constructed of iron. The value of the
cargo was $49,100.

Cement stone, brick

Almost as many sidewalks of artificial
stone were laid in the single year of 1902
as had been laid during the preceding 27
years. This was partly due to the ordin
ances requiring stono walks in practically
the entire resident district of the city and
partly to the fact that tho property-owners
found such walks cheaper in the long
run than the old plank roadways.
The total length of the sewers construct
ed from 1S75 to 1902 was 106.2 miles. In
1S02 7:59 miles were added, not including

HOTELS ARE DIFFERENT
attorney aiigues that statute
does not Apply to them. '
Law Which Provides Thnt Stock of
Goods 3Iay Not Be Sold "Without
Affidavit Is Discussed.
Attorney J. E. Bronaugh argued before
Judge Sears yesterday that the law of
1901. providing that a person must not
purchase a stock of goods from another
without first obtaining an affidavit from
the seller concerning his liabilities and In
forming the creditors, does not apply to
a hotel. This law was passed to protect
wholesalers from being defrauded by re
tailers who might sell out and run away
without paying their bills.
In the case at issue Francle Barker and
, C. Martin sola the City View Hotel to
W. H. Wilson. Barker and Martin owed
M. Gaglletto, who filed suit against them
after they had sold out, and attached the
hotel effects then in the possession of
Wilson. They brought suit to set aside
the attachment and also for damages.
The new law regarding the sale of goods
in bulk was set up as -one of the. defenses.
Mr. Bronaugh said it docs not apply.
He argued that hotel furniture, dishes and
so forth are never referred to as goods In
bulk. No more than stock on a farm. He
said the law applied to goodo sold by
a wholesaler to a retailer to be sold again.
Such goods belonged to the wholesaler
until he was paid for them. Judge Sears
took the matter under advisement. The
opposing counsel stood on the law.
MANY CRIMINALS PLEAD.
January Term of Circuit Court Be
gins With Brisk Business.
The January term of the State Circuit
Court opened yesterday morning. There
was a large attendance of attorneys and
others and the outlook appears to be that
business will be brisk in court circles for
some time to come.
Deputy District Attorney Arthur C.
Spencer filed several criminal Informa
tions and arraigned a number of offenders
before the bar of justice.
G. Castronnovo, the Italian who is
charged with the murder of Gugllelmo,
was arraigned and was granted until Mon
day to enter his plea. Castronnovo looked
about the courtroom in a nervous manner
and showed plainly by his actions that he
fully realized his position. Dan R. Murphy
appeared as his attorney.
J. B. Barrett, a middle-aged man
charged with larceny of a pair of blankets
and tools belonging to George G. BIrrell.
from a barn on the East Side, pleaded
guilty and was sentenced by Judge
George to eight months In the County
Jail. Barrett stated that he had never
been arrested before, and said he would
like to get off as easy as he could. He
was at first inclined to ask for a lawyer
and to stand trial, but finally eald the best
thing to do was to admit that he was
rightly accused.
B. J. Rozler, indicted for larceny of a
carving set from' the store of the Honey-
man Hardware Company, was arraigned
and was granted time until Wednesday to
plead.
Thomas McHale, charged with shoplift
ing, was allowed untl Wednesday to plead.
He is accused of the larceny of a woman s
hat from the store of Olds, Wortman &
King. George C. Stout appeared as his
attorney.
Ah Teung. a Chinese, was arraigned on
a charge of larceny of various articles
from a dwelling-house at the corner of
First and Couch streets. Through his at
torney, Oglesby Young, he interposed
plea of not guilty.
H. Van Cleve pleaded not guilty to an
information charging him with larceny of
a lady's coat and other articles, valued
altogether at $100, from Hulda Levens.
A plea of not guilty was entered by
Frank Crater, who lkaccused of stealing
a diamond pin from S. P. rianwait. wis
trial was set for today.
Informations were riled against Jack
Bldwell and Joseph Lewis, charging them
with assault with Intent to rob J. josepn
Not a true bill was filed in the case of
Jerry Williams, a colored man accused of
shooting at Andrew Jackson, also a negro,
Not a true bill was returned In the case
of Peter Moor, who got Into difficulty be
cause of taking $100 from John Nugent for
safe keeping. Mr. Moor has lived here
for 20 years and proved his good Intentions
in the matter to the satisfaction of the.
District Attorney.
Allan Clark, a negro who cut Anton
Moe, a white man, across the face with
a razor ori October 26, was permitted to
-plead guilty to assault and battery and
was sentenced by Judge Sears to 60 days In
the County Jail. Clark has been locked
up ever since the affair happened. He was
tried several weeks ago oni a charge of
assault with a dangerous weapon and tho
Jury disagreed. Clark Is one of the num
erous tough "coons" who infest the dive
quarter. The wounds he indicted upon
Moe were very serious.
SOME WERE AVAILABLE.

J. H. HltchlnKs Wins Suit In Which
He Asked $750.
In the suit of J. H. Hitchlngs against
C. S. Ferris to recover a commission for
work done in connection with the sale of
certain real estate on Sixth street. Judge
Georsre yesterday rendered a decision in
favor of Hitchlngs for $500. The suit was
for $750. Hitchlngs found a purchaser for
the Dronerty in the person of Frank
Kiernan at a. price of $12,000. RuBsell &
BlvtHe were given another contract and
succeeded in selling to Kiernan for $2000
additional.
Judge George in passing upon the case
said he thought Hitchlngs had performed
considerable work In clearing up matters
in relation to the property, and that the
defendants turned the property over to
Russell & Blythe to sell because they
could get more for it.
BOTH SIDES WIN.
Compromise Decision Is Rendered in
Steamboat Case.
Judge George in tho suit of Joseph
Paquet against Captain E. W. Spencer to
recover about $S00 balance, due on account
of the building of the steamboat C. R.
Spencer, yesterday rendered a compromise
decision. Spencer was allowed $52 on ac
count of the building of a wheel which
Paquet wanted him to pay for, and Paquet
was charged $200 on account of delay in
completing the work. The penalty was
$25 per day for overtime.
Spencer put In a counter claim for $1902,
including numerous Items. He alleged-
that Paquet did not follow the model, that
the wheel was too high out of the water.
and said the boat was crooked.
Paquet says the boat is well built, and
the fastest in the river. Captain Spencer
prepared the plans and specifications.
Judge George In rendering his decision
alluded to thla fact, and said Spencer was
known as an expert steamboat man, and
Paquet as a successful builder. Tne court
also alluded to the circumstance that the
boat was constructed under the dally
supervision of Spencer, and thought.
therefore, Spencer ought to be satisfied
ith the result.

Coal Dredger Finds Ambergris.
NEW YORK, Jan 12. William Shepherd,
a carpenter of iynn, wnue areaging ior
stray pieces of coal along the water
front, according to a Press dispatch from
Boston, is said to have come across a
lump of ambergris valued at nearly $230.
While at work with a long-handled rake
Shepherd espied what he thought was a.
lump of bituminous coal, but It was not
as heavy as coal. A pleasant odor' came
from it. A seafaring acquaintance told
him he had found ambergris and that it
was very valuable.
Shepherd returned to the beach, where
he found several pieces of the mass that
.he had thrown away. Experts say the
pieces .are genuine ambergris and that the
value will - in all probability run up Into

NO TRACE OF T. F. KANE
Lewiston Police Believe He Sought
Death In the River.
LEWISTON. Idaho. Jan. 12. (Special.)
The police have been unable to secure the
slightest trace of Thomas F. Kane, rep
resentative of the Pacific Miner, of Port
land, who disappeared In this city on the
morning of January 1. Kane appeared
here on December 23, and was engaged In
canvassing the city for his publication.
The night before his disappearance he
spent about $30, although he had not dis
sipated excessively. Much of the time he
spent in the hotel barroom, leavlpg there
about 2 o'clock In the morning. He re
turned at 5 o'clock and made a request to
the porter relative to being called during
the day. Later, however, he announced
that he had decided not to go to bed. He
then disappeared from the hotel and abso
lutely no trace of him has been found.
The police have made diligent Inquiry at
all the lodging-houses, and the train crews
state that no man answering Kane's
description went out on the railroad.
Kane left all his personal effects in his
room at the hotel. Including an overcoat
and other clothing. When he appeared
at the hotel he displayed some money, and
was apparently in no financial difficulty.
While talking with the hotel clerk shortly
fiefore his disappearance he displayed a
cheerful mood, although' the view is held
by the police here that he had become- de
spondent as a result of his dissipation
and sought death in one of the rivers.
The steamboat men have been notified.

Twenty-one years of success and constant growth of practice. Is certainly
a practical demonstration that argues the merit of our work. Is there tho
slightest probability that If unable to hack up all of our claims we would
have won and retained the foremost -place among specialists treating men's
ailments? Could we fail to cure and yet succeed as we have? Our practice
is the largest because we invariably fulfill our promises.
Weakness
We not only euro
"weakness" promptly,

treatment that can pos
sibly cure this disor
der permanently. It Is
a system of local treat
meat entirely original
with us. and Is em
ployed by no physicians
other than ourselves.
This may seem a broad
assertion, but It Is Just
as substantial as It Is
broad. So - called
"weakness" Is But a
symptom ot local In
flammation or conges
tion, and a radical cure
Is merely a matter of
restoring normal condi

organic system, and
this we acco mpllsh

times comes from varicocele or

HOI T; F. MADDEN
FORMER MAYOR OF ST. IG
NACE, MICHIGAN,
Relates an Experience Which, He
Says, Taught Him a Valua
ble Lesson.
"I have had an experience which
taught me a valuable lesson," said the
Hon. Thomas F. Madden, former Mayor
of St. Ignace, Mich., to a reporter the
other day.
It was while crossing the Gulf of
Mexico," he continued, "in an attempt
to recover my health, that the sugges
tion came to me. For twenty years I
had been a sufferer from Indigestion. It
tortured me. I could not eat a hearty
meal, and even the lightest food dis
tressed me. I was treated by several
very able physicians, but grew worse all
the time. In fact, nothing helped me
until I tried Dr. Williams Pink Pills.
"Chronic indigestion had brought on a
whole train of other troubles. I be
came nervous, suffered from violent
headaches and biliousness and I think
I would have given every cent I pos
sessed to find relief. But I became more
miserable, and finally in despair I de
termined to take a southern trip.
"On the steamer bound for Galveston
I chanced to see Dr. Williams Pink
Pills for Pale People mentioned in a
newspaper article. As soon as we land
ed I purchased a box of the pills, and
they gave me almost instantaneous re
lief. If it had'nofc been for them I think
I should have starved to death. I grew
constantly better, and in a short time I
was cured.
"It is now over a year since these pills
cured me. My stomach Is sound and
my digestion Is perfect. I can eat
heartily of the richest food, my nerves
are quiet, my blood good, and I feel well
and strong. I have been made a well
man by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for
Pale People,"
The Hon. Mr. Madden's address is St.
Ignace, Mich., and he is willing to cor
roberate the statement given above.
The power of Dr. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People in the vast number of
diseases due to impure blood or to de
rangements of the system has been
demonstrated In thousands of instances
as remarkable as his. No one who la
suffering can rightfully neglect this
way to restore health.
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale Peo
ple are sold by all dealers, or will be
