Found

Our readers will remember an item
which appeared in The BULLETIN some
ten days ago, detailing the abduction of
Willie RYAN, son of &. Ryan, of Chicago.
The matter was placed in the hands of
sheriff Irwin, with the instructions to
work it up, regardless of expense. The
sheriff, after being fully informed of all
the circumstances surrounding the alb
duction, went to work by telegraph, but
receiving no encouragement from this
method of search, he concluded to try
some other plan. Last Thursday hc took
the train at this point and visited every
town between here and Champaign, and
after searching the latter place, where he
obtained q slight clue to the whereabouts
of the boy. he retraced his steps, and
found Willie in the clutches OF profess
sonal thief, named Engram, at Pana.
The boy was rescued from the thief and
taken in charge by the city marshal OF
that place, and sent to his parents at Chi
cago. We failed to learn how the kid
napper was disposed Of.

LAST Easter Monday in four hours a

LAST Easter Monday in four hours a
volcanic eruption covered large num-
Der of the most prosperous country dis
tricts of Iceland with ashes, pumice, and
sporiaceous sand, and the result is that
nearly Is, 900 of the inhabitants are rem
dered destitute and threatened with
starvation. Nearly 5000 square miles
of land. which was the pasture of O,0O0
sheep, 1000 cattle, and 5000 horses, are
now proftless waste, and less unfor-
tunate districts are crowded with peo-
pie who have fed from the volcanic dis
tricts. There has been no similar mis-
fortune in Iceland since 1888, and the
consequences, already appalling, will be
more disastrous unless aid is extended
to the poor people. Iceland makes a
shivering appeal to the sympathies of
Europe and America.

STEEL DIRECT FROM IRON ORE.-M.
Ponsard s apparatus for producing steel
from the iron ore, as described in La
Metallurgie, consists principally of an
arrangement for transforming the fuel
in a series of large chambers, and of an
apparatus in brick, called the recupera-
tor of heat, which receives the flames
from the furnace, and restores the calo-
ric in the form of hot air. The compart-
ments of the chamber serve successive
ly for the reduction of the ore, for the
reactions which are effected, and, finally
for the fusion of the whole charge in
such a manner that the separation of
the component parts is effected by the
difference of density. These various
phases of the operation require very
different temperatures, and the produc-
ton of these is the special object of the
apparatus. On the side Of the furnace
doors the temperature is only that of
red heat, while beyond the heat is so
great that the eye is unable to support
the intensity of the glow-this extraord-
mary heat being estimated, in fact, at
not less than 3, 632 degrees Fahrenheit.
The result obtainted by means of this
process is considered to demonstrate
the possibility of producing steel direct
from ore without any of the transforma-
tions necessary under existing systems.

DESPERATE FIGHT ON PASSENGER
TRAIN.-A bloody affray occurred on
the Pacific Express West, which left
Philadelphia at midnight Wednesday,
Among the passengers was James Will
Jams, of Lexington, KY, who occupied
a seat by himself Another passenger,
a drover, from indianapolis, Ind, ap-
preached Williams and asked permis-
sion to occupy part of the seat. Will
iams objected, and hard words passed
between him and the drover. Blows
followed, and Williams was badly cut
about the face and stabbed in the body,
the drover having used knife. Mr.. A.
H. Dowell, q reporter, belonging to
New York, was in .he same car, and
fearing thatWilliams would be killed, as
he was crushed down between the seats
interfered and pulled the drover off.
The fight occurred near Dowington, 80
miles west of Philadelphia. The con-
ductor telegraphed to Lancaster, some
thirty-five miles further west, and on
the arrival of the train at that place the
droyer was arrested and Williams was
left in the care of a physician. The ma
ture of his wounds was not known at
the time the train left Lancaster, but
some of the passengers feared he was
fatally injured. Commercial.

THERE is a beehive on the eastern
slope of the San Francisco range in Los
Angeles County, which men have tried
several times to capture; and have as
often failed. 1t is IN rift which pene-
trates the rock to a depth of 16O feet.
The opening is 80 feet long, and II feet
wide, with two passages. The bees come
and go in solid columns about one foot
in diameter. Efforts have been made
to descend to ti,o store of honey in the
rock, but the men were invariably driven
back and one man lost his life. The hive
has been known four years, and it is esti-
mated that there cannot be less than eight
or tea tons of honey in it. A man who
lives in cabin not far from the spot
gets more honey than his family can use
from small aperture in the rock. He
has a honey fountain at his door.

AN OLD FooL-The Cohose Bulletin
says there is residing on Harmony street,
Cohose, man aged Is years, who has
not spoken to his wife in twelve years
He has been married fifty years, has an
amiable wife and several Children and
grandchildren, and considerable prop
erty. The old man and his wife lived
together happily until about twelve years
ago, when one morning the wife came
down stairs and saluted her husband in
a gentle manner, as was her wont to do,
reply. She spoke to him again and again,
but always with the same effect, and
ever since that July morning in 1868 the
husband has never opened his lips to his
wife. He always speaks familiarly with
the rest of the family and friends, but on
no occasion, or under any consideration,
would he speak one word to his wife.
He always treats her with gentleness and
kindness, always provides for her wants
with the most scrupulous care, but not
one word can be coaxed out of his lips
to refer to his strange way of treating
her. His wife and children eat at the
same table, walk to church side by side,
yet not one word has escaped that mans
lips for the past twelve years to that wo-
man. His little granddaughter lives
with him, and through her he knows his
wife's wants, and no request of hers is
left unheeded. Several friends of the
family have tried repeatedly to fathom
his strange action, but they found it i'm
possible to do so.
