Keeping Warm in Cinder Piles

Tramps lie down in the cinders at
Harrisburg, Pa, to keep warm over
night. Thursday morning George
Richardson, carter at the Paxon fur
mace, took a load OF red hot cinders,
weighing fully a ton, out to the bank
and dumped it on top of tramp who
was sleeping at the spot. He uttered
no cry, and the carter drove away un-
concisous of the accident. Some time
afterward another carter noticed
smoke arising from the cinders, and
detected the smell as of burning cloth.
He made an examination, and discov-
cred the tramp, whose body was rap
idly being consumed. Summoning
help, the charred remains were re-
moved from under the load of hot
cinders. The mans head and face
were crushed, and his body burned al
most to crisp. Nothing was found
on his person by which he could be
identified, He was about twenty
three years of age, well built and mus
cular. The body was buried at the
almshouse,

a MutIny in Jail,

WHEELING, Jan. 22.-Shortly after
six o'clock this evening Jailor w. s.
Colby went into the main corridor Of
the Belmont county Jail at st. Glars
vile, Ohio, to inspect the cells before
locking up for the night. One of the
prisoners locked in cell asked for a
drink of water, and as the jailer hand
ed it to him several prisoners caught
his arms and held him, while one Of
the prisoners, Cass, took his
revolvers. They all then
began to beat Colby,
knocking him down and kicking him
brutally A small boy confined in a
cell raised an alarm, when Cass
threatened TO shoot him. He hid in a
corner under his bed and kept up
yelling, which attracted the attention

they retreated into the Jail and were

COWing a Grow.

Fort Custer Correspondence Benton
Record: First .Lieut. A. NJ. Fuller,
with a detachment of twenty men,
Mr.. James Campbell and six Indian
| Crow scouts and pack team of seven
teen mules, started from this post on
Dec. in pursuit of Bear Wolf, a
Crow chief, who left the reservation
contrary to the orders of the interior
department. The command was
rationed for fifteen days. Itseems
Bear Wolf had presented some Sioux
Indians who had visited the Grow
camp recently with some ponies, and
feeling sorry for what he had done,
determined to start south to their
camp In the vicinity of the Black
Hills, and have them returned. Lieut..
Fuller and his party started up the
valley of the Little Big Horn river,
and passed the Custer Battle ground,
the scouts struck the trail at place
called Sand Hills, about thirty miles
from the post. 1t led up Sandy creek
to the Wolf Mountains. The first day
up this creek two of Bear VOLTS
camps were passed, about eight miles
apart, the last camp being two days
old. The following morning the
lieutenant with part of his detach-
ment and the scouts started off on a
brisk trot, leaving the pack train with
sufficient guard to follow. The
trail led over the Wolf mountain
divide, and thence down branch
stream to the Rosebud canyon, where,
from information furnished by .
stockman, it was leaned that the In
dams had passed his ranch about noon
the dav previous. Crossing the Rose
bud, the trail was followed over
Ton que river divide, and about on the
afternoon of the Sth the command
came suddenly upon the Indian
camp, situated IN the narrow ravlne.
The usual precautions being taken,
the scouts, with Campbell were sent
into camp to interview Bear Wolf.
in person, and gave him to under
stand, through an interpreter, that
he had come out to bring him into the
post, and pointing to his detachment
all prepared for business on a knoll
commanding the camp, stated that
he would use forceif necessary. Bear
Wolf, angry and insolent, then order
ed his squaws to pack up and move
camp, and although his intention
was to continue on his way south, he
changed his mind when the lieut.
enant with half of his detachment
placed himself in front, and motioned
the chief to follow him. This he did,
the other half of the military party
bringing up the rear. There was no
trouble whatsoever of getting them
into the post, which was reached on
the 10th. On the return march Bear
Wolf walked a goodly portion of the
way. There were three other chiefs
with him, and some squaws and chill
dren.

Nightcaps.
New York Times.

An English physician asserts that
people of the present generation are
much more addicted to dreaming than
were their ancestors, and that people
often dream in cold weather who never
dream in warm weather The reason
is that we sleep with the head uncov-
cred. The cold night air chills the out
side of the head, driving the blood in
ward to the brain. and thus xtimulat-
ing cerebral action.
There are various remedies which
might be suggested to persons who
dream to an undesirable extent. They
might reverse their usual position in
bed, placing the feet on the pillow and
the head under the blankets. This
would keep the head from becoming
chilled, and no matter how cold the
feet might be, their condition would
have no effect upon the brain.
The physicians remedy is not SC
simple as this, as is probably less eff
cacious. He proposes that we should
assume the nightcap of our ancestors.
They all wore nightcaPs, both men
and women, but it is alleged that in
our day even the feminine nightcaI
has become obsolete. Those night
caps kept the head warm and the blooc
near the surface; so that our ancestors
seldom dreamed, and We're much les:
liable to cerebral disorders than W.
are.
1t is very doubtful if men and
women will consent to acquire immu
nifty from dreams at the price of wear
ing the nightcap. Whatever may
have been the case in the last century
no modern wife could respect a hus
band in nightcap, and no husband
could long retain his affection for g
wife in nightcap. This may be al
wrong, but it is nevertheless true
People who dream will probably adopt
the plan of sleeping with their feet OIL
the pillow, but they will never de
grade themselves by adopting night
caps.
