MKANIXO OF TKANRFIMIS
There seems to be borne doubt as to
what is the meanluR of the ease with
which thebe transfers hae been made,
especially as the Signal corps Is abso
lutely destined for Cuba. The general
opinion, howeer. Is that these whole
sale transfers and this decimating of
the regiment signify an early move
ment home. This comlctlon becomes
more firm daily, and now no one, either
of the oftlcers or the men, seems to en
tertain een the shadow of an Idea that
we will ever bo to Cuba, or to anj place
elbe, except to Scranton.
The sympathy of the membets of
Company D, and of hi many other
friends throughout the leRlment, rocs
out to Corporal Joeph Clear y. He te
cently returned to camp from n long
sick furloush, and was barely settled
here when a teleginm was received

jioml Charles Ross, Color Guard John

n typhoid patient, and was temoed
irom the hospital at Camp Meade to

the same trouble, and has been away
over three month?. Prlate Uanett

treated in St. Joseph's hospital. Phila
delphia. Private McCrea owes the good
care he iccelved to the Lackawanna

pleased with their piesent home. They

ONE LIFE WAS LOST
Concluded from I'ugo 1.
a short lime later nnd then the fire
men were enabled to work with greater
safety und to more advantage.
The lutndsomii new building of tho
Wllkcs-Bnrre Deposit am' Savings
bank was saved from serious diunngo
by the Brennan saloon building which
stood between It and the fire.
BOOKS REMOVED
The tempoiary quarters of tha
Wllkes-Barro Deposit and Savings
bank which adjoins Crotzer's drug
store In tho building wns In llames long
before the wull fell. Watchmnn Wil
liam Meeklns of tho bank and Police
Sergeant Kline entt red the bank build
ing and saved the books which wore
tan led to tho City Hall. The money
was kept In two lire and burglar proof
cafes and the only loss to the bunk wilt
be thu desks und otnee furniture. The
safes fell through the lloor Into tlw
cellar shortly after the renr walls fell,
sending a shower of ppaiks Into the
heavens.
The stock of B Opponhclmer, the
clothier, nnd J. J. Becker's bakery nnd
confectionary store were rttlntd and
destroyed by tho water and smoke but
the firemen succeeded In arresting the
progress of the conflagration nt this
point nnd prevented Its further spread.
At 6 30 o'clock the lire was under con
trol, but tho hnndsome O.stethout build
ing which hnd ndorned the E.ibt Mar
ket street entrance to the Saunte pre
sented a mnss of twisted lion ard shat
tered smoking walls. The blaze was
not out by anv means at that tint" but
the firemen all felt a tense of victory
and knew they had the upper hand.
Among the other tenants of tho
building who suffered greatly from the
fire were W. B. Sheape, Dr. D. J. J.
Mason, George E. Mnson, William
Lewis, Ophllla Holmes, Alice Smith,
Mrs. J. C. Adams, Frederick L. Blown,
Mis. A. E. Ruddy, L. L. Travis, Guy
S. Greenmnn und Mis. Mniy Mulhall.
All of those who occupied residences
In the building had neatly all their fur
niture destroyed by the water and
smoke, and the olllces In front de
btroyed by the lire.
BADLY BURNED.
Attorney R. D. Evan;?, who occupied
apirtments In the Osteihout building,
hnd a nurrow escape from death. He
was badly burned while making his ef-
enpe from the building.
The origin of the lire Is enveloped In
mystery. Thobe who saw the blaze In
Its inclplency nic ceitaln It was In tho
rear portion of Joseph Coons' store.
But from all that can be gleaned, there
was barely time enough to permit as
surance of this fact before a violent
explosion occurred, followed In quick
succession by another of increased
force, Instantly the entire building wns
a seething mass of flames, crackling,
loailng, and RUlplnR down its llery
throat everything within reach.
TERRAPIN AND THEIR HABITS
Fed on Shrimp and Crabs Before
Being Sent to Market.
From tho Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Chesapeake hay tenapin are becom
ing extinct. This Is the veidlct of P.
M. Strong, manager of the celebrated
Beaulleu terrapin farm, near Heaulieu,
Ga.t whoie more of the crawlers aie
raised than at any other place In the
countiy. Mr. Stiong sns:
"Every yeai it glow si hauler to get
tenapin and prices Increase. A dozen
line eight-inch Chesapeake bay kind, If
they could be got, I am told, would sell
for $1'00. This shows how rare this
species has become Our black stock
are fast reaching this point, though
we eettalnly hope to postpone the ul
timate extinction foi many a day yet.
"Our teirapln 'crawls' at Beaulleu
produce mote terra pin probably than
any other crawl In the countiy, I think,
by the way, that there is but one other,
and that is on the eastern shore, near
Cilsfleld. Our ciawls are right on the
tler. The laiger Is .110 by 60 feet, and
Is divided Into three compaitrnents for
thiee sizes. The smallei ciawl If for the
baby tenapin, and 1 100 by 8 feet.
Through both trawls hero Is a 'trunk'
ot 'ditch' l tinning, connected with the
river, making a ciicult of the farm and
letuining to tho rler again. The bot
tom of the ciawls Is on a. level with the
low tide, nnd Is coveted with a layer
of mud about sK Inches deep. Into this
the terrapin burrow In winter and ic
maln the best pait of the time. Flood
gates are at the opening of both crawls
m we can let the water In or out at
will Our average population of teirapln
Is about 10,000. one-half bulls and tho
other halt helfeis,
"Tlip feeding of the terrnpin Is a
puzzling thing. 1 have not yet found
whether It Is necessary for u teirapln
to cat all. Once I mude an experiment
and put a number of terrapin In a
separato crawl, kept them theto for a
year and guve them absolutely nothing
to eat. At the end of that time I took
them out and found that man of them
were In Just ns good condition ns those
I had been feeding nil the year. How
ever, wo feed them. We give them ex
clusively sin Imp and ciabs to eat.
They will take most anything you give
them, but these twe things, I have
found, Improve the flavor immensely.
Our -10,000, I should say. on nn average
consume twenty bushels of shrimp and
crab a da. If you stop feeding them It
does not seem to worry them at nil,
us they appeur to pick up more nour
ishment from the inmMliuu nn tiling
else. We hnvo an army of slit Imp for
use, and all along the river theio are
lines out daily
' The terrapin Is a hard beast. I

CURED BY CUTICURA

have seen terrapin placed In the cen
ter ot a block of Ice and frozen fast to
It. They have been left there four or
five da s, then chopped out, thawed
a while by the fire, und in a short time
were ns lively ns ever.
"It takes a terrnpin seven years to
attain his full growth, and, while tho
length of his days Is a matter of dis
pute, I believe they live twenty-five or
thirty years. The heifer lays from
eight to twelve eggg three tlrjjes a year,
In April, May and June. It takes these
eggs six weeks to hatch. The baby
teirapln Is Just about as big ns the
end of your thumb. At one end ot our
largo crawl we have a board like a
chicken roost, upon which the terrapin
can crawl Into a sand pit, where they
lay their eggs. It Is necessary to be
verv careful and get the baby terrapin
away from their parents as soon as
they hntch, else they will be eaten on
the spur of the moment.
"Tenapin have a certain amount of
b telllgence and a very large amount of
cutioslty. ThroiiRh this prominent
trait they are captured. The best way
of catching terrapin Is for two men
to go out In a rowboat with a net. They
row carefully along until they come
to a likely spot for teirapln. Then one
man gets a stick and raps sharply on
the side of the boat seveial times. If
there are any terrapin around they will
come to the surface Just as fast as
they can get there to see what Is going
on. Then the other man scoops them
up with his llttlo net. Another way,
used In the salt marshes, Is for tho
darkles to go tramping through the
mud and water, sometimes up to their
vvalstf. If they pass any terrapin these
will rise out of the mud to see what th"
disturbance Is. I have agents all along
the coast who collect from the daikles
and llshermen In their territory all the
tenapin that aie caught. Then I make
periodical trips In a boat and bring
them all In to the crawl. There they are
fattened and kept until sold.
Terrapin certainly have as much
sense as chickens, although no one
would choose one for a pet. When the
men go In to feed them they whistle, i
and terrapin from all over the crawl,
thousands of them, come swimming I
tluough the water, piling over each
other In their efforts to get close to
FROM TIDEWATER TO OHIO.
First Iron Bails That Formed a Con
tinuous Line.
The flitt Iron laIN thut formed a
continuous line fiom tidewater to the
Ohio river were laid forty-seven years
ugo and the vvoik vns completed on
Chiistmas eve, 1S5-'. It Is quite well
known that the projectors of the Balti
more and Ohio railroad conceived the
broad Idea tint to hi lng Baltimore, on
the Atlantic coast Into close lelatlons
with the great and the there being nip
Idly settled Ohio valley, would aug
ment the gold In the strong boxes of
the Monumental City. After-many ob
stacles hud been thrown in the way,
and, in turn, surmounted, tho line was
completed and a train load of proud
Baltlmoteans journeyed to Wheeling,
AV Va., and watched the turbid Ohio
How b on to the sea.
The completion of the laying ot the
lion rails, steel being too expensive at
that time, H marked by a natural
monument, eighteen miles from Wheel
ing and near Roseby's station. This
monument is a great stone on the hill
side and Is located In Marshall county,
AV. Vu. It is sixty feet long, thirty
five feet wide and thlity feet high.
Commeicially minded men have esti
mated that It Is worth $200 for build
ing purposes, hut It could not be pur
chased, because of Its historical asso
ciation with the completion of the main
line of the Baltimore and Ohio rail
road. Cut deeply Into the side of the rock,
that faces the railroad ttack. Is tho
following Inscription: "Roseby's Rock,
track connected Christmas eve, 1832,
Hobbs & Farls "
The men who Immortalized them
selves In Baltimore and Ohio hlhtory
vere the stonecutters who cut the In
scription, but the rock gets Its name
fiom Roseby Karr, an English en
gineer, who was in charge of the track
laying from Wlieellng.eastward. Those
were the days when liquor flowed more
than freely on state occasions", and
thete was no oversight or neglect of
custom when the rails were connected.
Whiskey wus purchased by tho barrel,
and, when tho last spike was driven,
all hands pioceeded to get glotlously
drunk and celebrate tho event In u
manner acceptable to tiudltlou. There
was no time to waste on faucets or
bartendets. A pledge-hummer was bet
ter than an augur or a bung-staiter,
and the heads of the bairels were
piomptly knocked In. One of the en
thusiastic trackmen fell Into a nelgh
boilng run nnd was drowned. Tho
stream Is now Known as Grave Creek.
Karr, the engineer, had several In
teresting experiences with his nun.
One of them, Abner Chiunock, objected
strenuously to woiklng on Sunday, nnd
one Saturday night. In order to carrv
his point, chained the locomotive to
tho rails. Karr and Chat nock had hot
vordt and a rough-and-tumble light
fololwed. The Christian downed the
Sabbath-bteaker, and, whllo holding
lilni, remnthed culmly thut "Man was
not made for the day, but tho day for
tho man "
Years later Karr was struck on the
head with a hatchet, by one of his men,
on tho 1'arkersburg branch and was
killed. It was leported that the blow
was accidental, Charnock died In 1&9G,
near Cameron, W-r Vu,
