We have strung out the ac-

On Saturday night as Mr..

SOME time since we stated
that information had reached
here that Pearly q. Brown a
former resident OF Nc Arthur
had left his later residence,
Noble county, Illinois, leaving
a considerable Emount of IN
debteduess, and taking with
him about $4,000 which had
been entrusted to him by par
ties to buy stock. The report
was brought here by several
citizens of this county who
had been visiting in Illinois,
was current talk on the streets
at the time OF publication, and
was apparently wholly reliable.
Mr. Brown writes US from Yu-
la City, Cal, and desires US
TO say that The report is untrue
except that he lett u consider
able amount of Indebtedness
at Noble.

Seizure Of Tobacco.


A seizure Of tobacco was
made here last week on infor-
nation furnished by John P.
Dunkle. II seems that Mr..
Dunkle had bought Of Barbour
& Stout, Cincinnati, a twelve
pound box Of Gilt Edge smok-
ing tobacco, pnrporting to be
done up in Two ounce packages,
making ninety-six packages to
the box. On opening the box
an odd package was found, and
knowing this TO be wrong a
count was made when it was
asCertained that there were but
eighty-6ve packages, each
bearing a two cent stamp,
making 81 70 in tax. The
weight was found to be full
twelve pounds, but the revenue
was delrauded by the deficit
of eleven packages,-lor which
of course no stamps were used
and the dealer deprived Of
his profit by the same deficit.
On ascertainlng the condi
tiOn OF the box MIR. Dunkle
wrote to b. & S. lcr an expla-
nation, but the reply being un .
satisfactory he reported :he
whole matter to Col. B. F..
Coates, Collector, who caused
the tobacco TO be seized. Since
its seizure we have heard it
stated that not only was the
revenue Gelrauded by the pack
ages falling short in numb er,
but that which purpOr.ed 10
have been paid, was only paid
in part, being stamped at SIX
teen Instead of twenty cents
per pound, so that the while the
box should have paid legally
$2.4O,lt paid but Sl.7O, as before
stated
We presume the whole mat
ter will be investigated by the
United States Court. Messrs.
Barbour u Stout have heret :
fore enjoyed a good reputation
as business men, which will be
badly damaged unless a salts.
factory explanation can be fur.
nished IN Il thorough legal eX-
animation.

of the front train on his road
to Chillicothe to report for du.
ty, and N. M. Mackawaie, a
brakeman on the same train.
The attaches of the front train
claim 10 have been in motion
at a speed OF about eight miles
an hour, when they were struck
by the rear tram, which con-
trary 10 the regulations of the
rosd was running at a speed
probably of thirty or forty
miles per hour, the outside
limits Of the regulations be-,
ing fifteen miles.
Coming at this rate of speed,
and the morning being so fog
gy that lights could be seen
only at a short distance, there
was no chance to slacken
speed until the rear engine
struck the caboose of the front
train, dashing it to splinters,
and making a jump to the
right bank OF the cut OF about
forty feet, when the weight OF
the heavy train forced it COM
pletely around until it faced
toward Z'leski, the point they
were coming from, and bury
ing Brown and MaCkawaie in
the wreck.
Brown was gotten out in a
short time, but Mackawaie
was under the locomotive,
which was lying on its side
against the bank IN such a way
that 1t was impossible to re-
move HIM until it could he
lifted off of him. The engine
belonging to the wrecking par
~, having been dispatched to
Il 'leskl Tor tools, had some OF
its machinery disabled. and
had 10 stop until about SIX
o'clock in the evening for re
pairs. In the meantime a
It emporary !rack was built
around the wreck to pass pas
senger trains, and a large
crowd of citlzens-two hun
dred, or more-gatherel at the
5 ,ene.
While awaiting The arrival
OF the engines from ZaIeski,
and fearful OF accidents TO
some of the Gro ~d from break
ing of ropes and chains in lit
ing the locomotive, Messrs
Lancaster and Mosher,- who
had charge Of the working
party, caused them to talk as
though they were going TO
cut work until next morning,
hoping the report would thin
out the crowd. Il did TO a
small extent, but those remain
ing became rather demCnstra-
tive, and INDUCED in some
very wild and foolish threats
oi what they would do unless
the body of Mackawie was i'm.
medlately removed from the
wreck. In due time the loco
motive arrived, the disabled
one was removed, the body re.
covered, and we presume our
demonslrative friends congrat-
ulated themselves on a wet ory.
A little knowledge on the
part of the citizens of the
mode of the company in clean.
up wrecks would have bottled
all their excitement. A party
working at a wreck never quits

In this case it was after one

At o'clock the same party left 434 south 7th

They procured boat, and the boys roWed down

morning. A short distance below Jactson's

Of the stern Of q loaded canal boat going down.
He held on for some time, and upon looking ahead
he saw IN empty boat, the "General Grant" com.

boat going down. The boy then let go his hold
and just a. he did so, the empty boat swept past

to say, were lett entirely to their own resources
No effort was made on the part of the boat hands
