AT the beginning of the year the
good ladies of the Methodist church
planned to have a grand Christmas
tree at their church, and arranged
what was called birthday box, into
which members of the Sunday school
could deposit a penny for each year
of their lives, the money to be placed
in the box the Sunday following their
birthday anniversary. Last week it
was discovered that that the box had
been robbed, of what sum it is Impos-
sible to say as no record was kept of
amounts put in, but as the Sunday
school members, some eighty mem.
bers, and as the custom was general
ly observed, the thief must have Sc
cured quite a large sum. Last July
the box WIS also broken into, but AS
the janitor supposed that the money
was taken out for safe keeping no
mention was made of the loss. The
ladies are not very we'll pleased with
the working of their plan.

PROOF AGAINST CHILE.

BIT. Egan Asks the Argentine Minister to
 Note the Espionage on the Legation.
 VALPARAISO, Dec. 24.--Minister Egan has officially requested the Argentine Minister, Senor Urriburn, to note the presence of Chilean police agents in the immediate vicinity of the American legation, as also the attempted arrest on last Saturday night of Frank Egan, the American Ministers son.
 Senor Urriburn, in his diplomatic capacity, will call a meeting of the dozen foreign ministers for the pur- pose of requesting the attention of the Chilean government toward the action of the municipal authorities in main taining police surveillance of the Amer ican Legation.
 Additional insult was offered the American Minister yesterday in the case of one of the refugees under his protection, who applied for release upon furnishing bonds to appear when wanted by the authorities. This was recently granted Balmaceda's Minister of War, valasquez.
 The government replied that the re fugee must first leave the American legation, surrender himself to the Chi lean authorities, and submit to impris- onment. Tho government, after he had done these things, would consider his request, but not before.

 URBANA, Ohio, Dec 24-John H.. James, having in view the raising of a fund for the relief of starving Russians, recently wrote to the first secretary of the Czar's legation at Washington to find out if the conditions really warranted the raising of such fund and received the following reply:
 Imperial Russian Legation, Washing ton--John H. James, Esq, Urbana, OEio--Sir: have been prevented by pressure of work to express sooner my gratitude for the very welcome and generous suggestions contained in your letter of Nov. 12.
 It is unfortunately too true that the population from twelve provinces tgov- ernments) in Russia, representing 9 great deal over twenty millions of people, is actually starving.
 1 have not been instructed to open subscriptions nor appeal to the help of the citizens of your great and noble country, but you may be sure that every cent sacrificed by you and your friends for the relief ofoour sufferers will help and will bring everlasting gratitude from my countrymen.
 I am quite ready and willing to see that such aid is properly directed and delivered in Russia where it is most needed. Believe me very truly yours,

Judge Hanford Holds that . Merchant
 Once Admitted Can Not Be Banished.
 SEATTLE, Wash, Dec. 24. Judge Hanford has filed an opinion in the United States District court in the case of the United States versus Lee Hoy, which is of great importance to Chinese merchants in this country.
 Judge Hanford holds that a Chinaman who is merchant in this country, per manently domiciled here, and who is permitted to return to the United States by the Collector of Customs, after a visit to Victoria. British Columbia, is not liable to be arrested and banished, because the Collector admitted himwith- out the production of a certificate as to his being a merchant. He holds that the decision of the Collector of Customs as to the right of Chinese merchant to be admitted to the country will not be examined into by the courts for the mere purpose of determining whether the action was based upon good evi- dence.

TRIED TO KILL A FAMILY.

Atrocious Deed of Man Near Aurora
 Narrow Escape From Lynchiug,
 AURORA, H., Dec. 24.--H the excited farmers of Oswego had captured George Mears last night after he had wantonly tried to murder the entire Wormley family he would never have reached Aurora to give himself up. They would have hanged him to the nearest tree. The affair happened at o'clock about mile and half from the village, and the news soon spread in an exaggerated form to the village. It happened that the Kendall county Farmers Alliance was holding meeting there for the purpose of or ganizing creamery company. The re- port that Mears had murdered Mrs. Wormley and her two sons created in tense excitement. It did not take the farmers long to act. Procuring a rope from the nearest store they commenced hunt for the murderer.
 Meanwhile Mears strolled through the neighboring village of Montgom- cry. joked with acquaintances and in formed them that he had been shoot ing sparrows. and finally gave himself up in Aurora. Sheriff Skinner of Ken dall county did not dare take the pris- oner to the county jail until last night owing to the intense feeling in Oswego. After giving it out that Mears had all ready been taken to Yorkville he and a deputy slipped up to Aurora and hustled the prisoner off on the evening train. It would not have taken much of crowd to have captured the pris- oner, as the sheriff said that he did not intend to endanger his own life to save his neck.
 The murder was peculiar atrocious one. Mears deliberately planned to kill his wife and the entire family with which she was stopping, and then shoot himself. After he had killed, as he supposed, three, he coolly seated himself on the wood pile and reloaded his revolver for the rest. The fact that he lost piece of the weapon in the wood forced him to change his plans. Harry Wormley. who was shot in the groin, will die.

WOULD KILL MIR. SAGE
SECOND DEMAND FOR MONEY
 FROM THE MILLIONAIRE.
A Crank Appeared at His Residence Sun. day Night to Get os,5OO-Mrs. Sage
 Throws the Intruder Out.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23--Russel1 Sage, whom the bombt-lrower Norcross tried with dynamite to do out of s1, 200, 900, has again been threatened in similar way. Since Norcross tried to assassin ate the venerable fnancier Mir. Sage has received nearly one thousand two hundred letters from cranlxs in all parts of the United States, and even from Europe.
 Just a few minutes after o'clock Sunday night there was a ring at the dcor-bell.. Before Mary, the servant, had chance to ask what was wanted the young woman who had rung the bell asked:
 s'Is this No. 509 Fifth avenue?'' Mary immediately answered it was No. 5o6, and that No. 509 was across the street. Scarcely had the servant spoken the words when . queer-lool<- ing man suddenly jumped before her. Where he had been Mary does not know. Having dashed by the woman on the outer step, and having thrust Mary from her place on the threshold, he planted himself fully within the hall and cried out:
 II have come to kill Mir. Sage"
 The servant was astonished for but an instant. Then summoning all her courage she exclaimed loudly: "Weill you get right out of here" The man with the fur cap did not move. He glanced contemptuously at the woman and then said again: Fl have come to kill Mir. Sage"
 Mrs. Sage upstairs had heard the door opened and thinking it might be Dr. Mum had gone into the hall on the second floor to be ready to see the doctor without delay. When she stepped from the staircase she went straight before the intruder and asked: What is it you want?"
 The man answered. with color of astonishment in his voice: Ibid you not get my letter?''
 'sWhat letter?''
 "Why, wrote you letter saying that wanted S2,5C0. You should have had it by this time.'
 s'We]l, we received no such letter"
 Mrs. Sage remembers that the man said: Well, wrote q letter saying that wanted g., 500. and that if I didn't get it would blow Mir. Sage and his house up, Now, want the money, Pay it at once. If you don't pay will blow you up now"
 The man had scarcely said this when Mrs. Sage rushed forward. She made one quick dash at him and caught at his throat, and fastening her fingers into his neck held him for 8 moment with such grip that his pale face be- came almost black. Mrs. Sage thrust the man out of the doorway, and, with the final vigor of weak woman nerved to desperation, thrust him down the steps. Then quickly as before she stepped back and slammed the door shut. Mir. Sage was still asleep. The exciting episode had not disturbed him.
 Russell Sage, Jr., is gradually sinking.

BURNED AT SEA.
THE CUiON LINER ABYSSINIA DESTROYED BY FIRE.
The Disaster Occurs While En Route from New York City to Liverpool
 An on Board Saved.

LONDON, Dec. 24.-The Guior line steamship Abyssinia, which sailed from New York Dee. 13 for Liverpool, was burned at sea.
 The Abyssinia left this port at 6:15 D. m. Sunday. Dec. 1a, bound for Liver pool, Capt. George S. Murray of the steamship Alaska in command. She carried eighteen cabin and thirty eight steerage passengers.
 The Spree signaled also that all on board the burned steamship were saved. The date of the burning cs the Abyssinia, however, was not signaled. Although the Spree did not report that the Abyssinia's passengers and crew were on board of her it is supposed that such was the case.
 The burned vessel was an iron, bark rigged, screw teamer of 2,346 tons net and 3,651 tons gross. She was built at Govan, Scotland, in 1870. She was 363 feet long by 42 feet 6 inches beam and 34 feet depth of hold. She had compound engines of 800 horse power
 The steamer carried a valuable cargo of merchandise. the full value of which cannot yet be given. She was valued at $200, ,000 and was built for the Cunard Line by the Thompsons. of Glasgow, Scotland. She was rated as Al and counted as one of the Cunard Lines crack steamers at the time. In 1882 she was re-engined. For the past five years she has been running between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Hong Kong, as one of the Canadian Pacific line steamers, and this was her first regular trip for the Guion line since then. She arrived in this port last September from Hong Kong with a cargo of teas. Her crew consisted of eighty men.
