Cantrell, the prisoner the free state |
party had intended TO rescue at indie
pendence, had made has escape before
the party had arrived there, and was
then hid away in Lawrence. He had
effected his escape in broad daylight
and was fred upon several times AS lac
ran through the streets of the town.
Blood hounds we're put upon his track
and he evaded them by Rading stream
for some distance. He laid in q ravine
in the woods near Independence the
first night covered with dead leaves. and
his pursuers, he informed US, several
times came near tramping unon him,
but luckily missed him, he Vas met
on the road by the rescuing party and
escorted safely to Lawrence. H-
Having gathered THE News printing
materials at Lawrence we stated with
them for Emporia with Holmes OK

Cantrell came with US. Holmes settled
on the Neosho at the old ford just above
the II. K. & T. railroad bridge. He EN-
bodied in his religious and political
creeds all the widest theories of the
widest theorists. He built an octagOn
log house-or rather he got it as high as
the top Of the second story, but never
finished the third and fourth stories. He
was man of slight frame, long black
hair and had q determined, cold blue
gray eye The structure of his mind

NEW YORK, Feb. 1S.-The socialists
are renewing their efforts, it is said, to
get control of the laboring classes of the
city as preparatory step in the execu.
ton of their talked of plan to become
the strongest political power in the
United States. The printed and oral re-
ports which come from Europe concern.
ing the proposed movement of the social.
istic party there, the intimate and grow.
ing relations between the socialists of
Europe and those of New York, and the
fact that last summer the persons con-
nected with the Volks Zeitung made
desperate efforts TO affiliate with the
trades unions of this city by taking
charge of and attempting to adjust the
labor troubles, go to show the purpose
of the men in this city who call them
selves socialists. The more intelligent
members of the trades unions OF New
York who arc not socialists are appre-
hensiye that the effort which these men
are making to increase their strength by
a coalition with the trades unions viii
prove detrimental to the best interests
of the working men in their struggle to
secure what they regard as fair return
for their labor.

A Warning TO baggage Handlers.
New York Times.

1t is not likely that the baggage. hand
lers employed at the railroad station in
Utica, \. Y, will damage many trunks
by rough usage during the present season
of travel. They have had their lesson
already on the threshold of vacation
time. A large trunk, checked from Buff
falo. was thrown off train at Utica for
transfer 10 another train night before last
and was vigorously seized by a young
man who was helping the baggage mas
ter. AS the young man was an under.
takers assistant who was working not
merely from love of labor or to oblige a
friend, but in order TO more quickly get
possession Of body that was in one of
the crowded baggage cars, he might have
been expected to handle things with
some care. However, he seems to have
forgotten the rules of his own calling and
was doing in Utica what the baggage
smashers do, when the trunk exploded
throwing him off his feet and setting fire
to the celluloid wristbands OF his shirt
while the regular baggage men stood by
and blessed the luck that had sent an
undertakers assistant TO help them.
When the ruins Of the trunk were ex-
amined it was found that il had contain
ed the outfit of a sportsman who was
probably on his way to the wilds of
Oneida or Herkimer county TO shoot the
live stock of unofiending farmers. There
were found parts OF a gun, n revolver, a
powder flask and a belt full OF large car.

dler was a passenger on the train frem
Owosso to Lansing, and, strange enough,
no one in the car had any idea of his
identity. Two men had The seat behind
him, and from talking of war they drifted
TO politics, and naturally enough Chan
dler's name became mixed up. Both
men were red-hot against him, and di.
rectly one of them observed
Its a wonder to me that some one
don't shoot the old blood letter.
"Oh, he'll get his dose yet, and don't
you forget it !" replied the other.
The Senator turned slowly around,
took good look at both of them, and
then said:

swindling Circus Patrons.

Abel Reynolds, a rich farmer from
Friendship, n. Y. and Benjamin Rob.
erts, wealthy farmer from Wellsville,
went TO warsaw, n Y, to attend May
bury Pullman and Hamilton's Circus on
the 18th. Desiring reserved seats they
were told the price was ten cents. The
reserved seat agent said; The price is
ten cents, but if you have ten or twenty
dollar bill and will exchange it for small
bills will pass you free" The bill was
produced. the agent ran nimbly off what
purported to be the required amount in
small bills and passed it over, at the
same time pushing the farmer along with
the crowd. On counting his money only
half the amount was found. The sheriff
went TO the proprietors of the show and
demanded that the agent be produced
and the money refunded TO a number of
others who was similarly swindled, one
Of whom demanded forty-six dollars.
They met with denial, but when writ
of attachment was procured the manage
RS were quick to settle; and paid 500 TO
cover demands aud expenses. The dodge
is new one this season, and is being
practiced with cool effrontery, and it
plainly shows that money is made out of
it, else the scheme would not be SO open
ly carried out. Country folk should
watch the reserved seat man with his
new method of arithmetic.
