According to Science, 'there seems to
be ground for the desire so generally
expressed that the Signal Service should
give some warning of the probable occur
renee of tornadoes, at least in such way
that the inhabitants of towns in the ex-
posed districts may be on the lookout
for the approach of the dreadful funnel
cloud. The reports state that in the
open country there was little loss of life,
as the storms came by day, and persons
generally saw them in time to take refuge
in the tornado cellars with which nearly
every farm in that region Is provided.
But in the towns, where persons remain
more indoors, and where clouds near the
horizon are not easily seen, tornadoes
too commonly arrive unperceived till
the roar of their winds tells that there
is no time for escape, and here some
early intimation of the impending danger
should be given. The warnings based
on the conditions shown in the morning
weather map might be announced as
experimental for season, so that
public trial of their value could be
made. Towns at least could be reached
by telegraph and telephone in all parts
of the Mississippi Valley by noon on the
days of danger, and the saving of lives
in some places would compensate for a
good deal of needless anxiety caused by
warning towns that escape destruction.
There seems to be no way whatever of
saving property that lies in the path Of
the storm.

Miscellaneous Police News.

In ehronieling the sentence of that old
familiar crook, Ross Stottsberry, at
Chicago, yesterday morning, the hHteaigeH-
Ger told "a story" concerning a visit paid
by Stottsberry to the Office of Mr.. George
Parks, formerly of this city, in such a
manner as to cast a reflection upon Sheriff
Handlan, the item stating that "Mr.
Parks telegraphed to Sheriff Handlan, but
nothing ever came oft" Sheriff Handlan
did his whole duty in the matter. Nh.
Parks never ~telegraphed to the Sheriff, or
anyone else. The facts regarding young
StOttsberry's adventures in the Garden City
are rs follows:
Stottsberry escaped from archaeological
on the 2Sth of July last, he being under
indictment for stealing o gold watch from
William Speaker. About the 3rd or 4th Of
August he went into the hardware store
Of Robbins & Co., in Chicago, and asked
for employment, exhibiting a letter signed
by T. T. Hutchinson of this city as q
voucher for his character. The head OF
the firm said the letter was probably all
right, but he suggested to Stottsberry that
he find some one in Chicago who would
endorse the letter, Mr.. Hutchinson being
unknown to him, and he would
give him employment. In his quest
for an endorser, StOttsberry called upon
Mr.. Parks, while that gentleman was
reading an HtelligeReer giving an account
| of the escape from Jail here. S~tottsberry
handed Mr.. Parks the letter, remarking
that he could get a situation if someone
would youch for him. Mr.. Parks said
ne knew Mr.. Hutchinson very well, but
that he did not know his caller and asked
him to call again. He then, as S~tottsberry
turned to 90, asked him if he
was not one of the men who
had broke Jail in Wheeling. StOttsberry
said no, and went put. The next day Mr..
Parks wrote Sheriff Handlan, detailing his
visit from StOttsberry. The Sheriff. at once
telegraphed to Mr.. Parks TO have Stottsberry
arrested, and Mr.. Parks again replied by
letter, saving he had handed the telegram
to Captain Schatt, of the detectives. The
Sheriff then wrote to Schatt, who replied,
after a time, that he had not been able to
find his man.
oOAACllhlt dlACl AhE1. pbhhh ~ ~
wrote to Mr.. Hutchinson for the reputa-
tiOn of StOttsbCrry, as this firm had given
him employment, and this letter was
shown to Sheriff Handlan. The Sheliti
again wrote to the Chicago authorities to
arrest StOttsberry, but they had him in
custody already on n charge of burglary.
Further communications passed between
the Sheriff and the authorities of Cook
county. aud it was arranged that if StOtts-
berry was not convicted on the charge OF
burglary, he wa to be held over for the
Wheeling authorities.
On Tuesday a letter was received by the
Sheriff saying that Stottsberry had been
convicted and sent up for one year. This
wi: insure his safe keeping for some time,
and when he is released he will be brought
here and put on trial for his old oflense.
