THAT KIDNAPPING CASE.

An Extraordinary Outrage Commit
ted on an Old Citizen.
Miss Clara II. Rischke, made an affida-
Wit before Justice McAilister, charging
that two men, whose names she knows
not but whose description she gives to
the best Of her ability, had kidnapped
her father, taken him to a railroad car
and carried him out Of the county with
a view of taking MIN out OF the state.
On this affidavit Justice McAllister is
sued his warrant for the arrest of the
kidnappers and the sheriff of Harris
county was instructed to intercept the
offenders at Houston. The sheriff tele-
graphed back for the warrant to be
properly endorsed. and this was done by
Judge Noonan. 1t is expected that
the ACCUSED have been detained at
Houston, but failing that the sheriff of
Galveston county will be instructed to
arrest them.
The story that Miss Rischke tells is a
most remarkable one, and If true, shows
that moot cruel outrage has been per-
petrated. She says that the family, who
reside on Mesquite street were sleeping
about S.o'clock yesterday morning when
she heard knock at the door. She
went to the window and saw two men
who profesed to want to buy an adioin-
ing house. Miss Rischke told them that
her father didn't want to sell it, where
on they remarked "if he didn't now, he
may want to by and bye" and pressed to
see him. Miss Rischke then called her
father, and he, hastily dressing himself
in his old working clothes, went to see
the men. They could not speak Ger
man, aud he could not speak English so
Miss Rischke had to act as Interpreter.
The men then stated their wishes more
than once. wherein Risohke said to his
daughter, "tell them don't want to sell
the place at all; intend 1t for the child
rem" Whereon one of the men said
you are my prisoner and am going to
take you" The natural enquiry. ''why?"
what authority" and upon what
charge" were answered with the sim
pie reply, IL don't know" The men
were dressed Ia private clothes, had no
any pretence Of having papers but they
insisted upon taking him. Mr..
Rischke, when he understood mat
ters protested, but requested that
he might be allowed to put on better
clothes. This request was granted, and
he sent his daughter to get out the re-
CURED clothing. While Miss Rischke
was gone for the clothes, the two men
hurried Rischke out Of the house and
marched him to the Sunset depot where
the S:45 =. m. train was then standing.
He was put on board the cars and car
ried away, it is believed, to Galveston.
One of Risohke's daughters followed
and travelled on the same train; the
other remains here to mind the house.
M. l.. Risohke is an old citizen who is
. carpenter, and has been a farmer. He
ia reported to be an honest, quiet, inof-
fensive man, and his family claim there
Ia no cause for the outrage, nor even for
Legitimate arrest.
A statement has been made that the
men were United States marshals, and
that Rischke is wanted for a murder
committed in Germany some years
ago, but the officers and Miss
Rischke's attorney, claim that this Is
not the case.

The Hoffman Nine Dispute.-The
communication to which We made brief
reference last week is quoted below.
1t will be seen that in substance it
corroborates the hasty report then
printed and this statement may be
accepted us thoroughly reliabl
In reference to the occurrence at Hoffman
mine, made in the Reoiem of this week. the
following facts can be substantated
For some time previous the flow of water
was more than ordinary, and greatly more
than the most experienced judgment had
reason to expect. To meet this unusual over
flow the pumping facilities were found mad
equate. Additional fires were required on
the instant, and these fires caused additional
smoke, as a matter of course. To remove
this smoke the air-courses were just sufficient.
Anyone at all acquainted with mines must
know that, to preserve the requisite current of
air, strict attention must be paid the brattices
and trap-doOrs. Had there not been negli-
gence somewhere on this occasion there would
have been no mishap, but someone (inad-
vertently, of course) left trap-door on the
line Of air current wide open The conse-
quence was that the force of part of the cur
rent was lost for time, and the men engaged
IN making additions to the pumping facilities
came near being smothered. As soon as the
door was closed the air cleared the passage OF
smoke, work was resumed, and has continued
ever since at the point where the incident
occurred

ADDITIONAL LOCAL ITEMS.

The fertilization BIt-The sections
below of the ventilation bill, Nos 10,
20 and %, were those to which The
Big demurred
SECTION 10. And be 1t enacted, That the
owner or owners, or lessee Of every coal mine
that may be in operation in the said counties
OF Allegany and Garrett, shall make or cause
to be made an accurate map or plan of the
workings of such mine which shall be kept
at the office of the company, lessee or in
dividual so mining and shall furnish dupli-
cate thereof to the Mine Inspector, and as the
mines progress said owner, lessee or individual
shall make additions to said maps showing
the progress of said workings, and shall fur
nish duplicate of said additions to said map
to SAID Mine Inspector once in every twelve
months, and said original maps and the ad-
ditions thereto, shall be at all times accessible
in the hands of such owner or lessees to said
Mine Inspector for reference only, and said
duplicates of said maps and additions thereto,
shall be carefully preserved by said Mine In
spector, and at all times accessible to any per
son interested in inspecting the same, and
shall be handed over by said Mine Inspector
to their successors in office.
SECTION 20. And be it enacted, That it shall
be the duty in every owner, lessee or
agent issuing steam locomotive under ground
in any of the mines in Allegany or Garrett
counties to cut off the engine way, gang way,
or other road upon which the locomotive is

or brattices, and that in such cases they shall
further provide, either by drift or shaft a
separate and distinct air course for the ven
tilation of said locomotive or engine, gang

SECTION %. And be it enacted, Thatit shall

from, upon which all the coal mined in said
mine shall be weighed before the same shall
be taken from the mine cars used by the
miners therein.
There was also some talk over Sec
ton 81, with reference to weights,
and the several sections providing
the method of competitive examination
for Mine Inspector, but no particular
stress was laid upon the Objectionable
features.
The above sections are published
preparatory to a statement which will
appear next week showing over their
signatures all that The Big did at
Annapolis.
The substantial, sensible miners
the gentlemen who unpretentiously re-
gard the JOURNAL as the exponent OF
the regions true interest and labor's
only genuine advocate-these gentle
men should crystalize sufficiently to
have vote of thanks ready to offer
The Big for saving the region from a
two years siege of trouble.
The Knights of Labor should do the
same grateful, graceful act. The Big
stood, and still stand between them
and the blacklist with 429 more names
on it.

"Chimcs Of Normandy" nc the Mound.
II the people who have attended the per-
formances ut Jackson Mound park. given
by Schnaidcr's Garden comic opera com
pany since il has occupied the boards
there were delighted with the rendition OF
"Girohe-G irohn," their entertainment
knew no bounds in the production of the
"Chimes OF Normandy last night. Those
who have heard both operas will NIL agree
that the "Chimes" was much more de-
lightfu. and that the work Of the people
who took part was incomparably superior
TO that in "Girohe-tiirona."
Miss Patti stone, the star, as Germainc,
acted with grace that was charming, and
sang in manner that was most acceptable.
Miss frcda Stone played the romp, Serpo-
lettc, with exquisite piquancy, her voice
being delightful. Mr.. Down, as Gaspard,
put all the miserable aud pathetic qualities
OF that old miscr in his every attitude.
While he did not sing 80 WELL his acting
fully compensated for the lack OF musical
qualities in his voice.
John Bell, rs Bailli, struck the keynote
that held the audience at his will. When
he sang "Am | right?' lac was cncorcd no
lcNs IMAM llan uolth uhcri ta'h uhi'
making q humorous local hit. His stanza
about the poor street car service was de-
cidedly appropriate, and the audience
caught on with electric rapidiiy.
MIR. McSwccny, us Henri, the Marquis
Of Corncyillc, was heroic figure, al
though small Of stature, and sustained his
par, admirably.
Altogether II was gratifying evening to
all those who were present, and II such
entertainments arc kept up tho opera
season Is an assured SUCCESS.
The ."Chimcs" will be given every night
this week except Monday and saturday
nights. There will be amatincc Saturday.
