An Editor In Prison.

CHICAGO, January 6.-WarrAnts were
sworn out by Police Inspector BonfeId for
the arrest Of J. ]. West, proprietor, and
Joseph Dunlap, city editor OF the Times,
charging them with criminal libel for the
publication OF an interview with the wife Of
Detective Lowenstein, in which she charged
her husband with acting as ''fence'' for
thieves and alleging that Police Captain
Shack was cOgnizant OF the fact. Mr..
Dunlap was arrested in his room in the
Times building and has been taken TO the
Harrison street station. On arriving at the
station Mr. Dunlap was thrown into a cell
and treated otherwise with exceedingly
scant courtesy. The space behind the bars
IN which Mr.. Dunlap was confined is mar
row, dark and nOisOme, one of the pens
which hold daily an assortment Of Grim nails
from some of the worst quarters of the city.
At 1880 Mr.. Dunlap was still literally in
durance vile. The police had not yet laid
hands on Mr.. West.
Later-Mr. Dunlap remained in the cell
until 8 o'clock when he WAS released on
bail. at about the same time Mr. West,
who had heard OF the issuance Of the war
rant appeared at the Harrison street sta
ton with his bondsmen. The warrant for
some delay was caused by the necessity of
sending for it.
No sooner had Mr.. West and Mr.. Dunlap
been released than they were again placed
under arrest. The charge was the same but
IN this case the complainant was Captain
Smack. Bonds were promptly furnished
on the second charge and the two were al

''This reform appears to be as far reach
ing in its purpose as the destiny of our
country, and as broad in its benehcence as
the welfare of our entire people 1t is be-
cause the efforts of its advocates are not
discredited by any sOrdid motives, that they

struCted in purity Of purpose and love for
humanity. Their operation is adjusted to
the touch of national virtue and patriotism,
and their results under sucn guidance must
be the prosperity and happiness of our peo-
pie; and so long as the advocates Of tariff
reform appreciate the sentiments in which
or institutions had their origin; so long as
they appreciate the forces which alone can
guide their operation; so long as they, IN a
spirit of true patriotism are cOnsecrated to
the service Of their country tenn Orary de-

A COIOred Man with a Double Heart.

TRENTON, n. j., January 4.-The Mercer
County Medical society devoted much time
to the examination of William King, the
coIored man who is said to have two hearts.
He is about As years of age. Tho examina-
ton proved that he has a divided heart, such
as is found in the lower animal kingdom.
The heart beats are perceptible on both
sides, excepting that the sound Is less per
ceptible on the right than on the left. He
claims to be able to drop his ribs like a set
OF double action window blinds, but when
this was done it was detected by his control
of the Oblique transverse and rectus mus
Giles. He claims that he can change the To-
cality of his double heart, but this was pro-
nOunced piece of jugglery, the result of
long practice. He caused his hearts, pulse
and temple to cease beating for period Of
sixty seconds and the physicians pronounced
it a successful effort. King is now in the
county jail for being drunk and disOrderly.
He announced that his mother discovered
his double heart when he was six months
old.

CLEVELAND, o., January "a special
from Lima, o., says: The yards of the
Lake Erie and Western railroad IN this city
are blOckaded with freight trains which
were run in after the strike of the yard men.
The freight brakemen have all decided to
back up the yard men and have all refused
to work, notwithstanding the fact that their
wages were raised. The total number of
men out is about seventy-five and they are
headed by j Ohm Mccarthy, the yardmasteF,
who was discharged, it is alleged, for reeus-
ing to go to Indiana polls during the recent
strike IN that city. The strikers threatened
to stop the No. 4 east bound passenger train
but owing to their wholesome fear of Uncle
Sam they concluded to not interfere with
the trans mission of the United States mail.
and so the train was allowed to pass all
right. The strikers will not allow trains to
be made up here, nor will they permit
through freights to change engines at the
main shops. The sidings at the small sta
tons east and west are filed with cars wait
ing the outcome of the strike. The general
manager aud other officials of the com pany
are expected here to attempt some kind of a
settlement. A brakeman named B air was
preparing to take train No. % out, when the
strikers threatened to assault him and he
left the train.
