horse dashed on, and his hOOfs were planted
every second with terrific force on the
drivers face and head.
Officer Ellenger of the Eighth Police
District saw the collision and thought at
first it was an ordinary street occurrence
until Stlnson's morse started to run. Then
by the glare Of an electric light the officer
saw Stinson being dragged over the cobble-

TAsC0TT's NEGOTIATIONS.
Millionaire SnelPs Murderer Wanted t.
Return and Stand Trial.


Return and Stand Trial.
The fact has just developed at Chicago
that Frank Tascott. q brother OF William
Tascott, the alleged murderer of Million
ARE Amos j. Smell, held extended negotia-
tons with the police authorities some six
months ago, looking to the surrender of his
brother
The terms on which the surrender was to
be made were that an indictment for bur
glary against the noted fugitive was to be
nclle prosecuted, and that he was to be
paid the reward of $4,000 offered by the
relatives of the dead man for his capture, TO
be used in his defense against the charge of
murder.
The negotiations. however, finally fell
through, Frank Tascott becoming suspi-
clous that the Police Department would not
give his brother fair treatment.
These facts are admitted by Police In
speet0r Marsh, who was at that time Chief
of Police. Mr.. Marsh never knew where
Tascott was in hiding
Detective Duffy, who was concerned in
the negotiations, says that in his opinion
the evidences against Tascott is not sufficient
to convict him.
The reportoria queries which brought out
the above statements were started by dis
patch from St Paul, MINI.
The dispatch said that the now notorious
fugitive, two days after SMELLS murder, ar
rived at st. Paul, where he remained a
week. Thence he went to Winnipeg, thence
to farm fifty miles from that point and
eventually to the Turtle Mountain Reserva-
ton, where he joined the Indians, and is
now member of the Turtle Mountain band,
having adopted the Indian costume and Gus
toms and married squaw.
w. w. Erwin, a st. Paul lawyer, tells
the following story in connection with the
case:
Zone day last February or March n man
came into my Office and introduced himself
as Samuel 6. Golden of st. Johns, Roette
County, N. B. He startled me by declaring
he knew where Tascott was, and had seen
him dozen times recently Tascott. he
said, had declared to him that he would
give himself up if he could I'VE the written
assurance of the State Attorney Of Cook
County, ILL.,, that he would move in his ar
ragnment that the sentence would be i'm
prisonmeDt for life instead of hanging"
Mr.. Golden said he had letter in his
pocket from near relative of Tascott, in
which the prefer of surrender was made.
Golden said Tascott was with the Turtle
Mountain Indians.-N. Y. Advertiser.

A BRAVE GIRL.

Two Children Rescued From a Burn
ing Building at Grand Crossing.
Hattie Belknap, 10 years old, is the hero
Inc of.Grand Crossing at present She had
been cleaning the furniture with gasoline,
and afterward attempted to light the gaso-
line stove. The fumes. with which the at
mosphere was charged, ignited and in a
moment the house was in blaze. Miss
Belknap rushed out doors, but, remember
ing that two children were in the house, she
saved them by feat displaying presence of
mind rarely equaled Soaking blanket In
water she wrapped 1t around herself and
dashed into the flames. appearing a moment
later it'll the two children. Nothing should
or can be said derogatory to Miss Belknap's
brave deed. 1t was heroism pure and sim
pie and involved astonishing dexterity of
wit and of action. 1t does seem strange,
however, that young lady of such excep-
tional intelligence should have allowed her,
self to set house on fire by using gasoline
The dangerous nature of this highly vola-
tile, treacherous and infammable fluid has
been proved again and again. Not long ago
a young lady in this city was horribly burned
to death through an explosion Of gasoline.
1t should never be brought into a private
house at all. Even Miss Belknap, with all
her deXterity and presence of mind, should
discard its use. She might not come out Of
another explosion SO fortunately

A BARBER GOES CRAZY.
Predicament of a Man who Was Getting

Predicament of a Man Who Was Getting
Shaved.
A barber becoming insane while shaving
man is what every man who ever had his
chin scraped has feared. Therefore, great
sensation was caused when William Reese
of Kenneth Square showed signs of insanity
while shaving Larkin Jackson. jackson
had been lathered, and was sitting quietly
in the chair when Reese made him SILVER
clear down his spine by remarking: "Jack-
son, you would make beautiful corpse. l
think l will take you to heaven with me-"
The BARRIERS eyes grew wild and his hand
moved uneasly. scratching Jackson's face
Reese laid the razor down for minute and
rubbed his hands. This was supposed to be
preparatory to making Jackson an angel.
jackson, thinking it was time for him to get
out, made for the door. but he was not
quick enough for Reese, who met him at the
door; but after hard struggle lie wrestled
himself loose and started down the street,
with Reese in close pursuit. Reese stumbled
and fell. He was captured. and will not do
any shaving for some time to come.-Phila-

CbiJdreR' $ Dug,

The members of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church have exhibit
ed an unusual degree Of interest in
the preparation of a program for
the children's day exercises at their
church this year, and a very pleas
ant and profitable day was had there
last Sunday.
The church was tastefully and
appropriately decorated with many
different kinds Of potted plants and
flowers, and high upon the rear
wall was the inscription in large
gold letters, Good be With Us on
this Our Children's Day"
The children realized that it was
in every essential their day, and
from democrat" Steele up did
their parts nobly and creditably.
The exercises consisted Of appro-
pirate motto pieces and hymns and
an interesting address by thepastor,
Rev. Thomas f. Bowman, of Wa
verify. A large and attentive audi
ence entirely filled the church from
the beginning Of the program until
the benediction was said.

Benton Seminary CLOSED.

The closing exercises of the Ben
ton Seminary Tuesday was well at
tended by the friends Of the school.
The program, though brief, was
very impressive. Very little prep
aration had been made owing to the
fact that for several weeks past the
children have been drilling for the
childrens' day exercises at the two
churches.
The exercises were opened with
prayer, followed by reading the
grades. Col. w. P. Morris, Judge
B. G. Scruggs, and Rev. A. G. Nc
Rae made appropriate addresses.
In presenting the medal for good
department and attendance it was
necessary to draw-Miss Nancy
Stigall and Mr., John Beaton hav-
ing the same average. In this Mr..
Beaton was successful. 1t was
stated by the professors that it
might be proper to say word III
explanation of the conditions of
their reward and the object they
had in view. The medal was pro-
vided for that pupil who should
have attained the highest average
of attendance at the chapel exer-
cises and the openingofschool, and
good department during the term.
The matter of department was re-
garded as the means to an end,
the purpose being to strengthen
the reasoning faculties and acquire
information. The example Of Miss
ancy Stigall and Mr.. John Bea-
On will doubtless be emulated 10y
hers.
Good attention was given the
exercises throughout the morning.
and the audience was apparently
well pleased with the work Of
Professors Wall and Cotton.

CARRIED TO NASHVILLE.
lMOO RUmOFS Causes the RemOUdL
of RiUes and BrittOa.

In compliance with a telegram
from Judge Levi S. Woods, sheriff
+. G. Flowers and deputy-sheriff
w. A, Lashlee removed John Fl.
Rives and James Britton, the two
prisoners confined in the county
Jail, to Nashville on the early train
last Friday morning.
Every since Britton has been
confined in Jail for the murder of
his wife, rumors have come from
the neighborhood in which the
deed occurred that some Of his in
dignant neighbors would forcibly
take Britton from the jail and
lynch him After a few days it
was thought the excitement had
subsidized, but as precautionary
measure, Judge Woods instructed
the officials here to notify him at
once of any attempt to release or
mob the prisoners and he would
have them removed to a place of
safety.
On Thursday, the day previous
to the removal, the report was cir
culated here that the friends of the
murdered woman contemplated re-
sorting to mob violence, and that
both the prisoners were i'll danger
of being lynched. Judge Woods
was immediately notified to this
effect, and he sent instructions tC
remove the prisoners to Nashville
at once.
1t was reported in Camden Sat
urday morning that a large number
of determined men from the neigh
borhood of Garfield started to this
place Friday night, but returned
on learning that the prisoners haC
been removed that morning.
