HOW THE ECLIPSE WILL APPEAR THROUGH A TELESCOPE
V Vlftotn
wwtfw Ii
jK
will be the hub of the scientific world on the 2Sth of this month On that date will occur a total eclipse of
INDIA and for over four hours during the day darkness will be spread upon the earth and the stars will shine
bravely forth But American star gazers will be seriously handicapped because totality will be confined to the east
ern hemisphere There will be little on this side of the Atlantic to indicate the obscuration of the sun To view this
eclipse the Indian Government and several astronomical societies have arranged to occupy all convenient spots along the
whole line of totality wherever the railway system intersects this line They will witness a sight which few men have
been privileged to see
The obscuration will begin generally over the territory where it can be observed at 446 in the morning of Jan 22 It
will be visible over all of Asia Africa and Europe with the exception of Spain the west of France Belgium and Holland
In other words the western rim of the eastern continent will not be favored The eclipse will begin in longitude 21 de
grees 3G minutes east and latitude 28 minutes north at the hour named It will end generally in longitude 110 degrees 7
minutes east and latitude 35 degrees 36 minutes north at 953 oclock thus affording observers something over four hours
The actual period of totality will be two minutes
DURRANT PAYS THE PENALTY
Legally Hanged for Diabolical Crimes
Committed Three Years Ago
Theodore Durrant the San Francisco
murderer and worse than murderer of
Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams
THEODORE DURRANT
has after almost three years of dramatic
history at last paid the penalty of his hor
rible and revolting crimes Durrant was
hanged Friday in San Quentin prison and
when the hangman sprung the trap he
rung down the curtain on what has been
one of the longest most exciting sensa
tional and sharply contested murder trials
in the history of American criminal law
While Durrant was convicted of but one
murder under the law he was held re
sponsible by public opinion for the mur
der of both Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams and it is felt that his death
expiates one crime as much as the other
He kept irp his remarkable nerve until
the last and died protesting his innocence
On April 3 1895 Blanche Lamont a
member of the Sunday school attached to
the Emanuel Baptist Church suddenly
disappeared from the residence of her
aunt with whom she lived Nine days
later Minnie Williams left her home in
Almeda to attend a meeting of young peo
ple and like Blanche Lamont she failed
to return The following day April 13
the body of Minnie Willinms was found
in the library of Emanuel Baptist Church
It was terribly disfigured and gave evi
dences of the girl having given her slayer
a fearful battle before she yielded up her
life
The machinery of the law was put in
motion Detectives with hardly any clew
to work upon set out upon their task In
some way the finding of Miss Williams
body was linked with the disappearance
of Blanche Lamont A diligent search
was instituted Every nook and corner
of the church was searched and on the
following day the police discovered Miss
Lamonts body in the dusty belfry of the
church The method and manner of her
death was identical with that of Miss
Williams San Francisco was horrified
The police were astounded at the enor
mity of the crime but kept to their work
assiduously
They learned that Theodore Durrant
was friendly with the two girls and that
Blanche Lamont was last seen alive in
his company He was promptly arretsed
COLONEL ARANGUREN
Daring Yonng Cuban Commander
Who Ordered Ruizs Execution
Col Nestor Aranguren about whose
personality so much interest centers be
cause he met Col Ruizs offer of peace
by ordering his execution is one of the
younger and most daring of the Cuban
leaders He is in command of a detach
ment on the outskirts of Havana and
much has he worried the Spaniards
Arangurens most daring piece of work
was a raid into the town of Guanabacoa
a suburb of Havana across the bay He
held possession of the place for several
hours despite the fact that it contained
a strong Spanish garrison He laid a plot

to capture Gen Weyler on one of his trips
into the country and would probably have
succeeded had not the premature explo

LONDON ONT CITY HALL

though first reports gave as many as
thirty killed
Great as is the horror it seems almost
miraculous that more were not killed
Writing of the disaster a newspaper man
who went down into the pit says The
writer was hurled backward into the pit
and underneath the falling timbers When
the air cleared of the dust and the bright
chandelier immediately overhead shone
into the death pit a ghastly sight met
the eyes Faces gashed and covered with
blood were everywhere to be seen The
drawn countenances of those who suffer
ed internally and were in the throes of
death were also among the number Old
men with gray hair and beards matted
with blood lay pinned in the heap along
with small boys distorted with pain The
clothes and faces of all were ashy with
the dust of plaster and added to the hor
ror of the scene From above me blood
from those killed and injured began to
trickle and that with the cries of the dy
ing for deliverance from their pains made
an impression on me which I shall never
forget
England exultingly declares that she
holds the key to the East but whether
she will use it to lock herself in or Ger
many out remains to be seen The key
trick may not work in the present case
