There is "hair thief in Detroit, Mich,

for all the women whom he can catch un-
protected. Miss Nancy Ward was the first
victim, she being despolled of her locks a
week ago. A few evenings later junction
avenue girl also lost her locks. Now an
other case Of the same kind has Just been re-
ported. Mrs. Edward w. Grevel bud Just
stepped into the backyard from shed. She
had no sooner appeared titan she was seized
from behind and strong arm placed over
her mouth. IL WAS all done SO quickly that
she had no time to see anything except u
short, stocky man with dark, heavy mus
tache, Us he disappeared with her locks.
"lle gave my head an awful wrench" she
said in speaking OF 1t, "and 1t aches yet.

ing, she showed the ragged remains of her
long, brown tresses.

A Careless Youth.

Tho folly of railroads trusting the lives
and limbs of passengers and employees to the
care Of mere -"ys was illustrated again ut
GAINESVILLE, o., when the carelessness of the
telegraph operator Ia mere boy in failing
to deliver u train order resulted in the kill
ing OF eight men: John Buckingham, en-
gineer; William Firestone, fireman; T..
Teller, brakeman, John Cochran, benjamin
Smart, Glen Bush, George Stoneburrer,
Tom McCrary and man whose name is un-
known. and who is supposed TO have been
tramp stealing ride. The accident occurred
few miles from GAINESVILLE on the Baltl-
more and Ohio railroad. Orders were given
ut Pleasant Valley to an east and west
bound train to meet and pass ut Blackhand
but the operator carelessly allowed the cas-;
bound train 10 leave without orders. The
trains came together on u sharp curve, run
ming at u high rate Of speed. They dashed in-
to each other with a terrific crash, pling up
engines and cars In mass Of twisted iron
and splinters. The operator who caused the
wreck has not been seen since. The loss will
be about 100000. 1t took almost the entire
day to clear the tracks.

A Clerical Counterfeiter.

The Rev. A. NJ. De Ford, u minister from

$1,000 bail.
The reverend gentleman was on his way
to Whitewater to attend the Methodist con.
ference when arrested. For tive years he
has been connected with the Methodist
church in Wisconsin, aud SO enjoyed the
confidence OF the people that they
had unanimously signed u call asking
the Whitewater Conference 10 return To
them. That their confidence in him was mis-
placed Is quite evident from the testimony
produced ut his preliminary examination.
Mutilatcd bills Of various denominations
found on his person were offered IN evil
dence. There were good bills of $40 and
$40 denominations from which the corners
had been cut to be pasted ON bills OF smaller
determination, two dollar bills thus raised to
$40 and $40 having also been found with
him. On his person too, were found pair
Of scissors, two sharp knives, and bottle OF
mlicilagc, all OF which had their part In
transforming the bills. The scheme is
novel device which old counterfeiters might
practice with even less success than the rev.
erend gentleman, for according to advices
received lie found victims for his game In
both Oshkosh and Fond du Lac, and
