sse SOund NJ with Iai, Wand,

CLEVELAND, Dec. S.--An interesting
fact comes to light in connection with the
discovery Of the big volume. well of nat
ural gas on the property of the Cleveland
Rolling Mill Company few days ago.
All the opinions of local scientists were
against the presence of gas in large
volumes at the spot where it was struck
at a depth of 3,l60 feet except Charles
Latimer, chief engineer of the New York
Pennsylvania & Ohio railroad, on whose
advice boring for gas was resumed 10
years ago. The company got small
we'll, but it was flooded and abandoned
three years ago. Charles Latimer, whose
experiments with the divining rod have
awakened much interest and curiosity all
over the country, advised William II.
Chisholm, president of the Cleveland
rolling mill, to resume work. This MIR.
| Chisholm was inclined to do, but he
determined to drill another well, Lati-
! mer and his witch hazel wand were called
| upon. Latimer made an examination and
predicted gas at 3,000fee Sure enough
it was struck aud in great quantities.
Under Latimer's advice the old well will
be resumed. 1t also transpires that Lati
mer's rod indicated gas on the grounds
of j. IL. Wade, the millionaire banker
and well of sufficient volume to heat
his great mansion and Conservatives hal
been bored.

After giving its reason for believing that
Miss Cleveland wrote certain paragraphs
of the Presidents message, the New York
Sun says: "If Miss Cleveland did, as
appears to be the case, furnish her brother
with the most intense and energetic pass
age in his discussion of the Mormon
problem, the fact is certainly very inter
esting. 1t is, perhaps, the first time in
the history of the United States that
woman has contributed SO important
part of so important state paper. The
incident is equally creditable to the Presi-
dent and to Miss Cleveland; and we need
make no apology for violating, for this
once, the tacit convention which treats
the annual messages as if they were the
production of single pen, and neces-
sarily the work of the President himself
throughout.

WINNIPEG, MAN, Dec 10.-RiePs re-
mains were brought here last night from
Regina in charge of two Catholic priests
in private car. The movement was
secret. The car was run across the river
TO st. Boniface. where Riels brother,
Alexander, and q number of half-breeds
were in waiting. They placed the body
on a sleigh and drove TO his mothers house
at st. yitles, where his family were. The
box was opened, disclosing the face,
somewhat blackened and slightly dis
figured. The house was draped in black.
The funeral will take place Saturday,
when the body will be brought to st.
Boniface Cathedral. where, after requiem
mass is celebrated, ii will be buried in the
Catholic cemetery beside the father OF
Riel.
Archbishop Tache has issued mani
festo, in which he lays the blame of the
half-breed uprising on the government
officials, and holds the Metis blalneless.
lie argues that the Indians had been
badly treated by the government officials,
and also holds that they are not terrified
by the recent executions, and that they
have no fear of the military. Recurring
to Riel he says the half-breeds went across
the border for him to come and lead theii
movement to secure redress of then
grievances. Riel responded, pressed Oh

LANCASTER, Pa, Dec. 12.-The noto-

brother, George Brimmer, John Frank
fort, John Lippincott, James Clifford and
Alexander Lehman, the men who partici-
pated in the escapes from the Lancaster
county prisons in 1882 and 1888, and
better known as the "Buzzard Gang"
were brought into court to-day for sem
Isaac BuZzard, before being sentenced,
made u statement saying that the escapes
were effected through the conniyance of
the Jail officials, who furnished them with
impressions of keys and with acids to eat
away the locks; that the prisoners were
in collision with certain officials MS far
back as 1881 that it was arranged that
ON the night the new keeper, Burk-
holder, took charge all the pri-
soners should leave; that everything
was arranged, but that Burkholder
changed the locks and frustrated the at
tempt. When the escapes occurred in
1882, Buzzard states, the time Of midday
was fixed by an official, who also fur.
nished them with ropes to scale the wall.
The celebrated "bird-cage" escape in
1888, BuZzard states further, was planned
by IN official who opened "Ike" Buz
Yards cell and, leaving the keys on the
door, went to another part of the CORR
dor, where he (the official) was impris
oned by the escaping prisoners. Thu
court sentenced all the prisoners to al
| imprisonment of 10 months each in The

that they should serve out their unex
