RHEY.-Died at her home in Ebensburg
on Tuesday, November cath. 1891, Mrs.
Susan Rhey, aged 81 years, months and
% days.
The deceased was the oldest resident of
Ebensburg and was known to every body in
the town. having been resident of Ebens-
! burg for more than seventy years. Mrs.
Riley had always enjoyed good health and
bid fair to round out century of existance,
but meeting with an accident four or five
years ago by which she fell and broke her
thigh, and from which she never fully re-
covered, her lease of life was no doubt
shortened. She was a woman OF many
virtues, and before old age had laid its
heavy hand upon her was noted for her
many charitable deeds, and i'm her constant
and her unfailing presence at the bedside
of the sick and suffering. She leaves to
survive her four children, three daughters,
Mrs. Ann Boyd. of Paducah, KY, Mrs.
Mary McCord, of Linn, Missouri, and Miss
Maggie. of Ebensburg; and one son,
Earnest, who is connected with the War
Department and stationedc in the West

and after High Mass of Requium, her
remains were laid to rest in the Catholic
cemetery along side those of her husband,
James Rhey, who died in Ebcnsburg about
fortv years ago. Hon. John s. Rhey, who
for a number of years was connected with
the FREEMAN, and who died in Pittsburg
about five months ago, was her eldest son.
May she rest i'm peace.

on Thursday morning, November 18th,
1891, Thomas w. Adams, aged "A years
A good citizen, farmer and neighbOr-by
his death the community sustalns an ir-
reparab,e loss. His family feel his loss un-
speakably, for he was their bond of union.
A consistent Catholic, he always attended
to the duties Of his church, and his familiar
form will be long missed at the weekly
convocation. He patiently suffered through
his last illness, and was resigned to quit
earthly sceLcs for the brighter and better
home beyond. Mr.. Adams was taken I'll
on the Bird and died on the 10Th, inst. His
remains were inferred in the cemetery at
st. Augustine on the 2lst, a Requium
High Mass having been celebrated by Rev.
Father McAvoy. A numerous train of
mourning relatives followed to the grave.
May he rest in peace.

THE NILES SENSATION.
The kidnapping of the Children Con-
fessed-Dr. Niles Arrested.

SPRINGFIELD, O., April ia tre-
mendous sensation was caused here last
night by the arrest OF DR., l. L. Niles,
Il. C. Cutler, his wife, Effie Cutler, and
Ellen Talbot on the charge OF child
stealing or kidnapping. The three last
named have made full confession to
taking the two little sons OF DR.. Niles
| from the place where they were board
ing. Pending the decision OF the
habeas corpus case, which would
decide whether they should be in
the custody of DR.. Niles or his
wife, Mrs. Niles attorney, John L..
Zimmerman, took the confession, and it
is extremely sensational-in fact, one OF
the most remarkable cases OF child steal
ing on record i'm Ohio. Miss Ellen Tai
bot. who is an old maid, dressmaker,
about 65 years old, who lives at Is East
North street, where the children were
kept. confessed that she hired horse
aud buggy at the livery stable, and took
the children at o'clock in the morning
to the place OF Mr.. and Mrs. Cutler,
near st. Paris. They took care Of them
until last Thursday, April o, when they
were taken TO Pittsburg, from which
city they were taken East few days
ago. 1t is supposed the children are
now in some small town in Vermont.
DR.. Niles was arrested at his Office
last night on warrant sworn out by Il
detective. He was taken to jail and
locked up In Il cell. He complained Bit
terly because the Sheriff refused To al
low him TO telephone for his attorney,
and insisted on locking him up up In
stead Of allowing him TO sit in the par
lor until the arrival of his attorney.
Dr. Niles friends communicated with
H. 5. Wallace, the attorney, however,
and he soon put in an appearance. 1t
is claimed that Wallace was at first re-
fused admittance to the Jail. Niles
was finally released on S400 bail, which
was readily obtained.
Niles still keeps stiff upper lip, and
claims he will come out all right.
G. c. Cutler, who with his wife took
care of the children, and is conSe-
quently implicated in the plot, is car
penter Miss Talbot, who did the
stealing, is 4 dreSSmaker. She claims
she has received nothing for her SER
vices as yet, but says her livery bill has
been settled. 1t is said that the Cutters
have already received $40 from the
agents OF DR.. Niles for their services in
the business. II could not be learned
who the agents of DIR. Niles were, as
the detectives aud attorneys refused to
divulge it,
No steps will be taken to recover the
children until the parties are arraigned
Monday.
uLheriff Baker went to the country
this afternoon and arrested the Cutters
and lodged them in Jail tonight.
All the parties are terribly broken up
over their arrest. as the oifense is pun
ishable by from one to twenty years in
the penitentiary, and the case against
them is clear.
The parties where the children board
ed must also have cOnnived at the theft
OF the children. 1t was claimed that
the children had been seen up TO 10
o'clock the morning of their kidnapping.
This is proven false, as they had break
tasted at o'clock at Cutters after they
were stolen.

Model Motive Power.


The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has recently placed In service
on its fast trains between New YORK,
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washing
ton, three new engines which are doubt
less the finest and fastest ever built in
this country. These new flyers have
driving wheels six feet, six inches high
and cylinders twenty inches by twenty
four. The large cylinders give them
tremendous power and the high drivers

engines. designed for service on the
mountain divisions. These are the
heaviest ten wheel engines ever con
strncted. weighing siXty-seven and one
half tons. They have driving Wheels
six feet two inches high and cylinders
81 inches by 96. One OF these machines
performs the work heretofore requiring
two OF the ordinary class and they take
the heavy through express trains up
the mountain grades quickly and WIN
perfect ease.
The Mt. Clare shops OF the company
have recently completed an order lot

BIG WHEAT sTEALINGs.
Sensation in the Northwest over "a Legisla-
tive Report.


MINNEAPoLIs, April IA legisla-
tive committee has been investigating
for some weeks an alleged big wheat
steal In Duluth, in which several Buffalo
grain dealers are said to be interested.
The two reports OF the committee have
iuss been filed with the Legislature and
they have created the biggest kind OF a
sensation. The elevator companies are
badly implicated by the commissions
findings and the end is not yet. The
Legislature, which adJOurnS next Mon
day, has authorized the commission to
continue the investigation, employ le-
gal talent and sift the matter to the
bottom. The methods by which the
wheat. il is claimed. was stolen are in
brief these:
By means of concealed pocket bins a
norton of each car of wheat weighed in
has been distracted. This accumulated
wheat has been loaded secretly at night
and labeled screenings" and shipped
away. Much of it has gone by boat to
BnfTalo. and the remainder had been
shipped out by rail. The report de-
clareS that In lsss, 1889 and 1890 there
have been 65l cars loaded and shipped
from Duluth without inspection. Al
lowing 600 bushels TO the car this would
make. 800, 600 bushels.
The report SAYS that c. ID. Patterson,
yardmaster of the Northwestern Pacific
railroad, at Duluth, makes affidavit that
on February /, 1889, he sent six Duluth,
South Shore and Atlantic cars into Ele-
vator ID. Of the Lake Superior and Union
Improvement Company, which were
loaded at night with wheat and shipped
to ). =. Guthrie IL Sons, of Buffalo; also
that on February 80 Mr.. Patterson sent
six cars into Elevator f., belonging TO
the same company, which were loaded
at night and billed out as containing
screenings" This affidavit is sus-
tained by j. II. Thomas and other men.
The commissions report concludes as
follows: I'VE respectfully call the at
tention Of the House to the testimony
of various witnesses relating to the i'm
proper cleaning of cars while being un-
loaded, and the Spilling of wheat at the
time of such unloading, as well as to the
testimony in relation TO the so-called
pocket bins arranged under the shipping
spoutS in the elevators and the spilling
of grain in shipping IL out of the eleva-
tors. and especially TO the fact that the
testimony shows that the Lake Superior
and Union Improvement Elevator Com
panieS own or control all the public
elevators in Minnesota
