AN EXCITING ADVENTURE
A Bold Attempt to Rob Salesman
of Valuable Diamonds.

An exciting hand to hand encounter
for 81, 800 worth OF diamonds occurred
in q room at the Palmer House in Chi
cago. A young man registered under
the name OF Ralph Allen. Later he
sent to several jewelry stores asking
that some diamonds be sent for in
spection, saying he was laid up with a
sDrained ankle. Salesman Biglar was
sent from Hymens & Co. IS TO make in
quiries and found Allen apparently all
right. He was still suspicious, how
ever, and when he returned with the
gems had porter stationed outside
the room door. After discussing the
proposed purchase several moments,
Allen graspcd heavy cane and felled
Biglar to the floor. The salesman
struggled up and grappled with the
ruffian, meanwhile yelling to the por-
ter. The latter, however lost his wits,
and when Allen broke away and ran
down the hall allowed him to get past.
To persons who attempted to stop
Allen he shouted: Catch that insane
man." pointing back. Time keeper
Dregg was not fooled, however, and
captured Allen. Papers found on his
person indicate that he came from
Washington and that possibly his
right name is George A. Pierce. He
refuses to disclose his identity, saying
this is the first time he was ever in
trouble and charging it to liquor. He
does not want his folks to know it.
Salesman Biglar has severe scalp
wound, but is not seriously hurt.

WILL BE REIMBURSED.
Members of Congress Will Not Lose
by Silcott's Theft.

A good many members OF the house
have been made happy by n decision
Of The court OF claims declaring that
the sergeant-at-arms of the house Is
in law and in fact disbursing agent
OF the government and that In the
pending case the loss sustained by the
Silcott defalcation falls upon the United
States treasury and not upon the mem
bers of congress who were left in tho
lurch by the fugitive cashier. This
case was brought by Representative
Grain, OF Texas, TO recover the amount
OF his salary for one month which was
drawn from tho treasury by Cashier
Silcott and appropriated to his own
use instead OF being paid over 10 Mr..
Grain. Though the government has
the right to appeal to the supreme
court, the decision Of the court OF
claims is generally acquiesed in and
is not likely TO be questioned by fur
ther proceedings before the courts.
The next step will be for the house TO
reconsider the vote by which it re-
fused in January last to pass a bill
carrying an appropriation of about
$50, 200 for the payment OF salaries
stolen by Silcott.

IA MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR
Hrs Hess Shot by a Gambler Who
Then Suicides.

Pretty Mrs. Hess, the wife of the
proprietor of the National hotel, Bush
nell, ILL.,, was entertaining a visitor
in the parlor on the night of the 5th,
when Ramsey Alderman, notorious
gambler and high toned crook, walked
into the room. Pulling cut a revolver
he stepped up within two feet Of Mrs.
Hess and fired point blank at her face,
exclaiming: Wen settle this thing
right DOW" With a cry of horror Mrs.
Hess threw up her hands and fell to
the floor with the blood gushing from
her right temple. "Now for the fin
ish," remarked Alderman, and cody
placing the revolver to his head he
pulled the trigger and entered upon
his future profession of shoveling brim-
stone. The 'parlor was filled in an in
slant by Mortified people attracted by
the uproar. Mrs. Hess was found to
be alive, but dangerously wounded.
She may recover. What pretty Mrs.
Hess could have to do with Alderman
is the question that the scandalized
community is discussing.

A FAMILY POISONED.
Two Members Dead and Another
Seriously Ill.

George f. Novman, citizen of En-
glewood, near Chicago, died suddenly
on the morning of the 9th aud his vito
soon after, and his daughter is serl-
ously ill, from the effects OF poison that
it is thought was administered to them.
Tho servant girl, Emma Stark, who is
suspected of the crime, left fer Laporte,
Ind. The police there have been tele-
graphed to arrest her. 1t has been
learned that girl resembling the SER
want bought rough on rats at q drug
store near the scene of the poisoning.
A grown up son OF Mr.. Nooman was
also poisoned, but is out of danger.
The girl had only been in the family's
employ one day. The day.bcfore she
complained of toothache and went to u
drug store ostensibly to get something
to relieve it. 1t is supposed that whilo
on this trip she procured poison. What
possible motive she coula have had for
the poisoning is a mystery. The doc
tor examined the can Of corn from
which the family had partaken at sup
per and does not believe there was any
injurious matter in it, thus rendering
more positive the belief that the poi
son was put in the food by the girl.
That evening woman answering the
suspected servants description was ar
rested, but denied all knowledge Of the
poisoning, or of the Nooman family,
though positively identified by num-
Der of persons as being the suspected
girl. The prisoner said she was va
riety actress, under the alias Of Della
Foster, and her real name Mrs. Star,
William Ray, her husband, from whom
she had been living apart, being bill
poster at TT. Wayne, Ind. She tells a
rambling story OF having u sister who
has an exact picture OF both in appear
ance and dress, and who is the wife of
railroad man named Ed. Favorite, of
Peoria, Ill. The police took little
stock in the sister story and promptly
placed the prisoner behind the bars

One d.y Tracy gave n youngstcr a
