Where Falls Nc RaIna


In Peru, South America, rain is unknown.
The coast Of Peru is within the region of
perpetual southwest trade winds. and, though
the Peruvian shores are on the verge of the
great southwest border, it never rains there.
The southwest trade winds in the Atlantic
ocean first strike the water on the coast of
Africa. Travelling northeast, they blow OBJ
liquely across the ocean until they reach the
coast Of Brazil. By this time they are laden
with vapor, which they continue to bear
along across the continent, deposlting it as
they 60, supplying with il the source Of the
Rio de Ia Platte and other tributaries of the
Amazons. Finally they reach the snow
capped Andes, and here is Wrung from them
the last particle Of moisture that q very low
temperature Car. attract. Reaching the sum-
NIT Of that range, they now tumble down as
cool and dry winds on the Pacific slope be-
yond. Meeting with 10 evaporating surface,
and no temperature colder than that to which
they were subjected on the mountain tops,
they reach the ocean. Thus we see how the
tops Of the Andes become the reservoir from
which are supplied the rivers Of Chill and
Peru.

Why @ Monument was Placed Over Tom
COrwfm's Grave.

us there a monument over Tom CorWin'e
grave yet 2" was Colonel Ingersoll's tele-
graphic reply to an invitation to lecture IN
Lebanon, O., last winter. stNo, sir" an
swered the old gentleman who was acting as
Secretary Of the Lecture Association, and
before he had left the telegraph office the op-
orator handed him a message which read:
| would not lecture in your old town for
half OF it. ROBERT G. ~INGEEsoLL.
|. Corwin's grave is on the crest Of 8 little
knoll on the east side Of the town cemetery
at Lebanon. The remains Of his wife lie on
one side Of him, and those of his son on the
other. Standing over them one can see miles
away across rich valleys and fertile hillsides,
the scene Of more than one Of CorWin's fam
GUS speeches. Back in the valley Of Turtle
creek is the sleepy old town of Lebanon.
The CorWin family still reside il the old
mansion near the cemetery. CorWin died in
1865, in Washington, and nearly every man,
woman and child in Warren county hocked
home. They buried him with great pomp,
and then began to talk about a monument.
The family thought the county ought to erect
it, and the commissioners said it was plainly
the duty Of the family. Nothing was done
by either until Ingersolps message fell among
them like ashot shot, and turned the town
upside down. Corwin's son-in-law then or.
dered a Quincy shaft eighteen feet high, and
it has just been put in place.

A Cool Detective.

AS a rule highWayman in the mining
States seldom operate upon a stage coach
with u. s. M" on it. They know that
these initials stand for United States Mail,
and are q pledge that the whole power Of the
government will be used to capture them.
The detectives in the Government service
are quiet men, courteous il manner and gen
tie speech. Mr.. Haynes tells, in his book
on ssNeW Colorado" Of one whom be met
who wore GOLD spectacles and looked like q
German professor. Yet this man alone took
two mail robbers from the North TO Texas.
At one place their friends planned 9 rescue.
He quietly informed his prisoners that, while
their friends would undoubtedly kill him,
they might be sure that their first motion
would send both Of them into eternity. Not
q man in the crowd moved a finger.
On one occasion q celebrated detective was
on a stage which wal. attacked by " mark
ed men. The first he knew was that two re-
Yolyers were thrust il the coach windows
with the command Hands up, gentle
men I"
The highwaymen t'had the drop on the
passengers, which, in their vocabulary,
meant the certainty Of being ableto Kill pc
fore being harmed themselves. 70 bis DIS
gust the detective was compelled to give up
hia watch and money.

AS the robbers left he put his hand down
| in the ssboot'' and to his delight it touched a
carbine. Asking the driver to go on a little
further and then stop and wait for him, he
went back alone.
The two men, unsuspicious Of danger, were
''divvving up the spoils in the middle of the
road. This is just what the detectives had
calculated upon.
'NoW, you s%coundrels, it's my turn" he
shouted, covering them with the repeating
carbine, ssthrow up your hands or TIL shoot
you! !"
The robbers, at his command, stepped out
side, holding up their hands while he picked
up their revolvers. It was not many minutes
before the astonished passengers saw the
two highwaymen meekly walking down the
road, with the cool detective following. They
were taken in the coach, and finally lodged
in jail.
The hero was General Charles Adams, who
subsequently went alone among the Utes, and
secured the release of the woman captives
from the White River Agency.

MUTATIONS OF TRADE.
Activity In the Chicago Markets Grain
Freight Rates Demoralized.


CHICAGO, Dec. There was more activity
in wheat to-day, owing to local causes chiefly,
but in measure to favorable cable advices.
Shorts bought freely, protesting, however,
that 1t was unreasonable that the market
should advance when there was no chance to
ship cereals to any point in the world at pro.
fit, for this reason shipments have fallen off
very decidedly, and grain freights eastward
are again badly demoralized, prices neverthe-
less very firm for all commodities. Wheat
opened shade higher and advanced INC,
then, under heavy offerings, declined from q
to s4c, and, with various fluctuations, closed
136c higher than yesterday. Sales made at
$1.25@1.26X December; 1.26@1.27% Janu-
ary and 1.27@1. .2SA February On call sales
were nearly one million and half bushels,
and prices were little better, selling up to
$1.27x for January. Corn was in fair demand;
quite active at times on speculative account. At
one time there was an advance of % to &c
from the opening, but extreme outside figures
were not maintained. Sales were 5Sg @59kc
for December; 5qX @59Xc for January and
64X @65xc for May, with sales on call rather
smaller than usual, but at rates about &c;
about the best on the regular board. Oats
were exceptionally weak, selling off at x to
Nc, but closing little firmer. Sales were
made at an @4xc December; Ask @46c

The Examination Into the Mechanical
Construction of the Machines Postponed
to this Afternoon.
The committee upon the competitive trial
OF the Silsby and La France steam fire engines,
which was brought to close Wednesday
evening. met yesterday to complete their la
bors by inspecting the mechanical construc.
ton of the two engines. It was found, how
ever, that such an inspection could only be
made by having the engines dismounted
and taken apart, and as no prepara-
tions had been made for this, the examina.
tion was postponed until this afternoon, when
the gentlemen in charge of the machines win
have them in condition to allow the commit
tee an opportunity to thoroughly inspect
every part entering into it, and in the least eff.
fecting its effectiveness and durability. The
opinion of the committee upon these points,
together with the results of the competitive
tests, will be embodied in a report to the
council, upon which that body will make its
selection. The committee consists, as has
heretofore been stated, of Messrs. Bruer, Par
ker, Prendergast, McAfee, Depew, Osborne,
Corning. Birge and Guion. Messrs. Bruer,
Prendergast and Birge are well infoamed as to
what fire engine should be from long ex-
pcrienee, while the other members are prac-
tical machinists, SO it may be accepted that
their finding, whatever that may be, will be
well founded.

Death of Jerry McKibbep.

The telegram in the GLOBE of Wednesday
briefly announced the death of Jerry MeKib-
ben, formerly one of the proprietors of the
Nicollet house, Minneapolis, and more re-.
Gently Of the Girard, at Philadelphia. A St.
Joseph special gives the following particu-
lars:
Jerry McKibben fell dead at 2:15 to-day in
the Office of the new Worlds hotel. He came
here some three months ago from PhiladeI-
phia, where he had long resided, to take
charge of the place. He has worked hard
since his arrival, and tomorrow nights re-
ception to the guests of the city was to be the
grand or formal opening of the house. A
little while before his death he was plotting a
number of our citizens and guests through its
house, and while walking around complained
that he felt bad, and two minutes later he fell
upon the floor and expired in few moments,
scarcely speakinga word. he was about so
years of age, and had wife and three chill
dren. His remains will be shipped to his old
home in Philadelphia. Apoplexy was the
cause of his sudden death, which has cast a
cloud of gloom all over the city.

Danford Liable to be Lynched -His Finan-

HUNNEwELL, Kan, Dec. 1.-The commit
tee appointed to go to Wichata and investi-
gate the collaterals abstractec from the Cald-
well bank, by Smith, the cashier, when he
fed, returned late last night, and reported to-
day. They think there will not be sufficient
to pay over twenty-five cents on the dollar;
but it will amount to over this, for the dlspo-
sition is not to allow claim of some 900,
put in by Wilson, Of Kansas City, for some
New York debts. They find but little other
property, and that Danford's financial situa-
tion has been very desperate for some time
past. Nor crookedness is developing every
hour.
Tanner and Denman who were found hid
under the hay in livery stable at Wellington
were terribly frightened and squealed. When
q full report is made it will astonish people.
Smith it is reported had bought tickets for
Texas, and it is believed the whole party were
booked for fight in that direction. 1t is
publicly claimed in the streets
Of Caldwell this evening that
Danford will be taken out to- night and strung
up, but not killed. But there is no telling to
what extent an excited mob will go. Trains
are watched closely, and any attempt to send
militia to rescue the prisoners will result in
their instant disbandlng. There is much di-
versity of opinion as to whether Danford is
able to pay ont or not. 1t looks now very
much as If this was his last night on earth.

Opening of the French Fair Last Night.


Pfeifer's spacious hall was last night the
great center of attraction towards which grav-
itated numerous groups of people, anxious to
participate in the opening of the French fair,
aad the coup d. 0il presented to the visitor
was well calculated to rejoice the hearts of all
who take an interest in its success. 1t was q
grand crowd for an opening night, and every
one left expressing satisfaction at having
spent an agreeable evening while spending
some loose change in pleasant way, and to 9
very good purpose. Many and enthusiastic
were the bright faces which met all visitors
and helped them to accomplish such a worthy
object.
The play which was to have been given by
the young ladies Of st. Louis parish was un.
avoidably postponed, owing to the illness OF
Miss Demeules, the leader, but in lieu of it,
the choir of the congregation gave the ever
stirring notes Of "La Marseillaise'' in very
effective manner, and Mr.. Quesnel sunga few
were well received by the audience. Mr.. Sevig-
ny proved himself a charming accompanyist.
The fruit and candy stand, which was abun-
dantly supplied, was in charge Misses Fon-
taine, Langevin and Poirier, and commanded a
very brisk trade. The prize table, presided
over by Misses Bazille, iDemeules and Cariveau,
and rattle table, by Mesdames A. Dufrene, E.
Langevln ana Z. jerome, Ouered may articles
both elegant and useful and were the
center of attraction for many visitors.
Much interest is already manifested in the
voting contests. One which will no doubt be
lively is for fine stem winding gold wa tch
to be awarded to the most efficient police of.
ficer. The following have been Yotedfor: Of
1cers Rouleau, DeCoursey, Murphy, Keneally
and Brousseau.
Doctors Dorion, Ganthier, Macdonald, Roy
and Smith, each received votes for a beautiful
gold headed cane.
Nor have housekeepers::been forgotten, for a
nice Howe sewing machine is to be presented
to one Of the following ladies: Mssdamea
Louis Chanson, ]. B. st. Aubin and Achille
Michaud.
A French gong clock is to be awarded to
the most popular retail grocery dealer, who
will likely prove to be one of the following:
Michaud Bros, F. A. Carrivean, Monfort &
Co ,Jas. 81. Brown.
A large and bewitching doll was voted last
eveing to Miss Emma Vandclac, by small
majority over her competitors, Miss Leclerc
and Jerome.

and as it is to be of short duration, it will
doubtless be well patronIzed throughout. The

GONE TO SIN ASH.
The Social Evil C-ses Abandoned-The
Reasons Why.

The Social Evil C-ses Abandoned-The
Reasons Why.
The social evil prosecutions, so far as
the present term of the district court is
concerned, came to an abrupt termination
yesterday morning. At the adjournment
of the court, Wednesday evening the jury
in the case of Kitty France had just
come in with verdict of acquittal, and
a jury, after three hours and half OF
time used in challenges, had been secured
in the case of Ray Lawrence.
Upon the opening of the court yester-
day morning County Attorney Egan ad-
dressing the bench, said, he found him
self greatly embarrassed in securing evil
dence, witnesses who had signified their
ability and readiness to TESTIFY to certain
essential facts, now declining to do so,
ard other important evidence de-
pended upon now being beyond
the reach of the court convinces me
l cannot hope for convictions upon the
cases yet untried at this term of court,
and l would be doing injustice to myself,
and imposing upon the court to insist
upon the prosecutions being continued al
this time. In the case now pending, in
which jury is already empaneled, il
would doubtless be proper that the jury
be instructed to return verdict of not
guilty. AS to the remaining cases con-
tinuance is asked for.
Judge Brill then instructed the jury in
the case of Ray Lawrence to return YER
dict of not gnilty, which was done, and
the continuance asked for was granted in
the remaining cases.
The prosecutions of these cases at this
term of court is therefore as follows:
Emma Lee, Nellie Otis and Kitty Smith
found guilty; Carrie McCarty disagree
ment; Kitty France and Ray Lawrence
acquitted, and the cases of the following
under Indictment for the same offense,
continued: Annie Olson, Pauline Bell,
Mary j. France, Lottie France, Carrie
Mccarthy.
As yet Judge Brill has not indicated
when he will sentence those found guilty,
but it will probably be to-day
or tomorrow, as the indications
now are that the present term of the
court will be adjourned sine die Saturday
1t is in the discretion of the judge to i'm
pose simple fine, or both fine and i'm
prisonment in the penitentiary. What
ever the sentence, it is pretty certain the
cases will be appealed to the supreme
court, the defense in each case having
been conducted with that end in view.
