The Suspected Crook. Now In jail,
Wanted Over In Ohio.
As has been stated in the REaIsTER,
Sheriff Cleveland, Of Noble county, O.,
has for some time been convinced that
James Brown, alias James Clark, the man
arrested by the Island officers some three
weeks ago, upon the suspicion Of being .
burglar, and one Of the proprietors of the
satehel of burglar tools found in the will
lows, near the upper point of the Island,
was one Of the burglars who have been
operating in Noble, Belmont, and adjoin.
ing counties, blowing safes and enteriI >,
houses. The Sheriff has had good dea'
Of correspondence with Chief Smith upon
the subject, and after looking at o photN-
graph Of the prisoner, and fitting the tools
found in the satchel 10 the doors Of two on
three safes, he came to the conclusion that
he had the right man. Yesterday the
Sheriff came to Wheeling, accompanied by
bis uncle, hotel keeper, and one Of the
guests at the house, and all three identifi.
ed Brown as one of two or three men who
were in Summerfeld, recently, when safe
was blown, and there was also other evil
dence seemingly sufficient to deepen the
previously formed conviction Of Sheriff
Cleveland into dead certainty.
After identifying the prisoner yesterday,
Sheriff Cleveland told him he wanted him,
and wanted to know if he would be will,
ing to 60 back to Ohio to stand trial.
After consultation with his attorney, Col.
Arnett Brown said that he would not 90,
whereupon the Sheriff at once made an
application for requisition He also
swore out a warrant charging Brown with
being fugitive from justice, and tn,
prisoner was held under it by Justic.
Davis in default of s.. 900 bail.
Browns attorney will 60 before Judge
Boyd this morning with an application fol
q writ Of habeas corpus for the release o.
the prisoner on the charges upon which
he was first committed t, jail, but ol
course it will avail him little, ip the facs
of the new charge Of being a fugitive from
Justice.
A friend of Browns came down from
Pittsburg Yesterday with some money,
to he used in the attempt TO get the prison
er out of the clutches Of the law, and he
evidently has friends who are working
hard in his behalf.

CHICAGeANs PUZZLED.
Something That Looks Like Oil st ruck In
the Tunnsl Shaft,


the Tunnsl Shaft.
CHICAGO, February a4.-Somethibg
very much like oil has been struck in the
water tunnel shaft on the lake front, and
as natural consequence there is no little
excitement manifested in the ultimate out
come.
A constant stream OF water and quick
sand three inches in diameter is pouring
out of the shaft, and through q small
wooden trough wends its way to the lake.
The water is almost completely covered
with black, oily Substance, which, when
skinned off and put by itself, soon forms
into soft, pliable cake, resembling black
sponge.
The odor from this, however, bears nc
resemblance to that of petroleum, and
the men around the shaft are puzzled.

IN A DIssECrING ROOM.
A Young Woman Finds the X ,mains of Ii sI
Father.

A Young Woman Finds the ,mains of Ii sr
Father.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, February "a
1t has leaked out here that the daughter OF
Benjamin Armstrong. q wealthy miner of
Reno, New. found the mangled body of
her father in the dissecting room Of local
medical college.
1t seems that Mr. Armstrong came to
San Francisco about the middle of last
month, sinch which time his family had
hesrd nothing from him. About the last
of January some sailors on the water front
discovered an old man lying on the wharf,
whom they supposed to be drunk. He was
taken to the hospital and given some re-
stora.ives, but he died without regaining
consciousness.
Although he was well dressed and had
money in his pockets, there was nothing on
him to prove his identity. After lying at
the Morgue to secure indentification, the
body was finally taken TO the medical de-
partment of the State University, where it
was soon to be on the tables of young
surgeons.
Early this week young woman arrived
here searching for souIe clue to the disap-
pearance of her father, Benjamin Arm
strong, of Reuo, New. The records Of the
city prison and hospital showed no such
name, and finally she went to the medical
college. She said the. body OF her father
could be identified by the fact that part CT
his right ear had been shot away in the
war.
An attendant at once identified this with
body that had recently been dismember-
ed and given to a class TO study. 1t was
at that moment scattered about the room,
so he advised her to come again, and when
she appeared the scattered limbs had been
arranged under sheet. When this was
partly removed the grief-stricken daughter
recognized her father, and was carried from
the room overcome by the terrible specta-
Gle. The remains were boxed up and have
been taken home by the daughter TO he
buried by the side of her mother in the
! little Nevada cemetery.

O'Clock tonight, during a circus per-

negroes. One of them hit the other over
the head with a shooter, and then ran
out of the tent, followed by crowd
halloaing to catch him, Among those
who followed was white man named
Joe Merkel who claimed to be an
officer. He called to the negro to throw
up his hands, which he did, but Merkel
drew his pistol and shot him, killing him
almost instantly. Merkel then ran back
through the circus tent with the smoking
revolver in his hand. He ran into the
dressing room and made his escape. The
dead negro was William Davis, cook in
Main street restaurant. Merkel was not
an officer, and his behavior cannot be ex-
planned other than that he was drinking.

MORE RASCALITY.
The Depositors in the Traders Bank Left

The Depositors in the Traders Bank Left
as Usual
CHICAGO, October 9.-The depositors of
the Traders bank had a meeting last
night which was largely attended.
A committee appointed at the Sat-
urday night meeting had not
finished its work. According
to the receivers the deposits
amounted to about 100000. The bank
had about 100000 in good and available
securities and deposits on hand. The
deposits on, Monday, the day of the
suspension, amounted to $130O00.
A proposition to pay back this
amount met with much opposi-
ton from other depositors. The
assets of the bank also comprise q piece
of real estate supposed to be worth
100000. Notes deemed good amounted
to $275,000. Several speeches we're made.
some of them bitterly denounciug the
officers of the bank and urging criminal
prosecution. Various propositions to
hire attorneys, etc., were left in the hands
of the committee.
