1t is reported from Munich that ex-

the view of replacing steam by electricity
for rapid railroad travel.
A new railway is projected on which.
instead of trains, single cars of great

supplied to them through the rails.
The speed to be attained is from l20 to
$50 miles per hour.
To provide against accidents the road.
way is to be built on solid masonry, with.

As a further safeguard the signalman

BABY STOLEN FOR CASH.
Awful Revenge OF a MiSsOuri servsn
Girl,

Awful Revenge OF q IiSsOuri servsn,
Girl.
The 2 year old son of ID. I. Beals. the
millionaire cattleman of Kansas City, sud-
denly and mysteriously disappeared at
o'clock last Friday evening. When the,
child's absence was discovered it was also
noticed that the servant girl had quietly
disappeared.
A search Of the house was made bv tho
little ones parents. Every nook and
corner was peered into. The neighbors
were notified. Had they seen the child?
No. not even a trace. He was gone. and
the more he was looked for the deeper
the mystery grew.
Then the police department was mott.
fed. Special detectives were detailed to
scour the town for the lost boy. They
couldn't even get hint from anybody.
1t was believed that the servant girl
had kidnapped the child and Ihad spirited
it away. An object in such bold crims
could have been prompted only by de-.
sire to secure large reward from the
wealthy father.
This turned out to be the case. Tho
child was returned in a day or two al
mysteriously as it had disappeared, and
it is reported Mr.. Beals paid s., 900 to ar
agent of the abductors. The seryan
girl and two confederates are under ar
rest.

27O SLAVES LOST AT SEA.
Wreck OF the Brig Tahiti Found Bot
tom Up.

"EecA OF the DrIR Ianlti rOuhu 1Ot-
tom Up.
Advices from Mexico state that the
brig Tahiti has proved a grave for 270
Gilbert Islanders who were under con.
tract for coffee plantations of San Ben
ito, Mexico. The eislanders were virtually
slaves, and were confined in the hold Of
the vessel.
The American steamer Roseville az
rived at Manzanello on Friday from Isiapa,
and her captain reported that the Rose
vile passed the wreck of the Tahiti II
miles southwest of Lizard Point. She
was floating bottom up, with her rudder
gone and the ballast badly shifted.
To the experienced eye of the Rose
villes captain it was evident the brig had
capsized while on starboard tack, as all
the port rigging had been cut away in an
attempt to prevent her going over. The
steamer stopped and sent boat off to ex-
anime the wreck, but not living thing
could be found. Not survivor has been
seen to land anywhere on the coast.
