The ohice1 and men in charge of the
torpedo boats have no pleasant time OF
IL. The steel plates of which first-class
torpedo boat 10 built are only an eighth
Of an inch thick, some Of the smaller
ones are only one-sixteenth of an inch,
and the consequent weakness of
structure, with their great length in pro-
portion to breadth, makes the strain OF
rising and falling in short sea apt to
break their backs. In such sea, there
fore, 1t is dangerous to drive them at
less than eight TO ten miles an hour, when
they go through tho waves instead of
over them. sa ...g g So asssEs
AT about this speed In most boats the
vibrations of the engines and the yibra-
ions of the boat synchronize, and the
combined oscillations make the bow and
stern of the boat wave up and down till
they nod at each other. Men who are
standing ON the deck astern jump up and
down like marionets. Even in absolutely
smooth water, when you sit in the small
cabin and try to eat, your knife and fork
CHATTER on your plate like castanets. The
water sweeps clean over the deck, which,
after awhile, the vibration makes to leak
like sieve, 30 that everything below
clothes, beds, etc..--is wet through.

relatives recall the fact that there is no
picture Of the dead and they rush out for

A picture taken under such conditions

photographed as they appear in death,

be worked out by our crayon artist.

Itinerant Merchants Who Sell Papers
oil IN

and Fruits-Homely Dawes Feat.
Very few Of the travellers who have
been so often annoyed on railroad trains
by the persistent and not always refined
eloauence of the youths who try to sell
them stale peanuts, decayed fruit and
ancient literature, have any adequate idea
of the amount of business these itinexaat
young merchants transact. In fact, IL
has often occurred to many q passenger
as an interesting problem how in the
world a train news agent manages to
make enough to buy his salt. They see
him go through the car time after time
and sell nothing but perhaps nickels
worth of apples, or pint OF peanuts. and
they wonder if Woodworking young
man can pick up a quarter a day out OK
that business.
These misgivings are natural enough,
but they are entirely needless. Si!-rt
young mcn often make as much as - or
SO week as news agent on railroad
trains, and he is a very novice who can
not make from SIS to $50 without work
in,g very hard. Some idea of the es-tent
ana value of the business may be learned
from the fact that from s. TO So, are

One Man Captures Six Escaped Convicts

LITTLE Rock. Ark, Jan. 14.-Some time ago
number of convicts employed in the mines
at Coal Hill, escaped by tunneling their way
out A number Of officers, in the hope of obtain
ing the reward for their capture. went in pur-
suit of the prisoners. following several Of them
off toward the Indian Territory. To their great
surprise, an old farmer made his appearance at
the camp yesterday and called for the Captain"
He gave his name as James johnson, and had
six of the refugees in tow, all standing in row,
with their hands on each others shoulders. He
told how he mad heard of the escape and. believ-
ing, on account Of the intensely cold weather the
men would seek shelter instead of travelling he
decided to undertake their capture He located
ten of them, and, last night, when they were
sleeping in haystack, captured their guard and
five of his companions. The remainder escaped,
but he believes he knows their location. He told
the officer when he left that he would soon re-
turn with more of the conyicts, and would then
take the reward for all he obtained The old
pioneer who made the capture was armed with
double barreled shotgun. one of the barrels being
worthless. He did not fire shot in his capture

treated in most indulgent manner. She was
wayward girl, however, and when Burbank, who

words of love she weakly listened to him. Be-
coming infatuated, she followed him to New

his promise of marriage. In September 1882
he abandoned her and came to Omaha In the
following month she followed him here. and he
promised to provide for her and the child He

The Strike of Cigar-Makerx.

New YORK, Jan. 14.-At the order of the
Cigar makers International Union 500 men went
on strike to-day in the factory of Levy Bros.
The trouble that led to this action was the
adoption of what the Cigar Manufacturers AS
ISOLATION consider to be uniform rate of prices,
and with which the employees in the factories
controlled by the association are dissatisfied
The union ordered Levy Bros employees to
strike as test case. because if one manufacturer
yields the others will do likewise, providing the
association so orders. Tomorrow morning a
conference will be held between COMMITTEES of
the strikers and one from the manufacturers as
ISOLATION, with view to settling the matter. If
no agreement is effected it is anticipated that all
the shops controlled by the association will lock
their employees out.
The Progressive Cigar makers union tonight
decided to call out its men employed in the shops
of Brown & Earl tomorrow This move is
made to evidence harmony of purpose with the
International Union.

A DANGEROUS SITUATION.
Clevelands Water Supply Entirely Shut Off
and the City at the Mercy Of Fire.

CLEVELAND, o., Jan. 14-There is imminent
danger of water famine here. For two or
three days large quantities of fine or needle ice
has been drawn into the tunnel leading from the
lake crib to the pumping station. There are four
pumps, with combined daily capacity of 49,,
100000 gallons At IL o'clock last night it was
found necessary to shut down one of these
pumps, ana a.r,oother was compelled to stop work
at daylight this morning, because of the ice.
The two remaining pumps are now working
about one-half their capacity, so that they
furnish only about ten million gallons or one
fourth the average supply per day The resi-
dences on a number of streets were cut off from
the mains at IL o'clock this morning, and an
effort will be made to save what water is now
being pumped. With great care, Engineer
Whltelaw thinks, the supply will suffice for or
binary purposes, but should fire occur the city
would be in sorry plight force of men
have been sent out to the crib, but the engineer
thinks they accomplish nothing until the
weather moderateS
The two big pumps which were kept at work
at intervals during the afternoon were shut
down this evening the supply of water being
cut off entirely The cause of stoppage is that
the stand-pipe which leads into the tunnel out
at the crib, and not the tunnel ITSELF is choked
feet below the surface of the lake, and is COW
cred with a grating to prevent the entrance of
driftwood and other large Instructions The
fine ice. however is sucked through the
grating, and has been solidly packed
by the force of suction. The task of clearing
the obstruction is a difficult one for the reason
that it requires the services of diver. There is
but small amount Of water in the reservoirs
and the supply is practically exhausted. The
West and South Sides are without water, and
this is the case with the East Side, except on
streets along the direct mains from the reser-
voirs. People who have wells are using the
water therefrom, and those who are fortunate
enough to possess cistern drink rain-water.
Others are compelled to melt snow.
Manufacturing establishments who depended
on the city water for their boilers are shut down.
The city is in perlous position. Should fire
break out in the business part of the city. the de-
partment could do nothing with it. They could
get no water. and the only apparatus that could
be called into service would be two three
chemical engines. The stand pipe is ninety feet
in height and nine feet in diameter, and is pack
ed full of ice. 1t may be necessary to wait until
the weather becomes warmer and the ice thaws,
for it seems almost an impossibiity to remove
the obstruction by any mechanical process.

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. H-The Supreme Court
of Virginia to-day rendered decision in the case
of Greenhow, State Treasurer, vs.. vashon, In
the matter OF the State debt. They held, first,

have the essential element of valid considera-
ton, and on proper case they would hold the
funding act of March 81, 1871, invalid and illegal;
second, that the coupons could not be received
in payment of that portion of the State taxes
set apart by the Constitution of Virginia FOR the
maintenance of public free schools. Judge Rich
