Secretary Proctor, while Not Exp psctine
Any serious Trouble, Tells NOW Mortars
Could Protect New YerA.
Secretary Of War Proctor was inter.
viewed ct Los Angeles, Cal, before his
departure for San Diego Sec. Proctor
said that he did not think that the pres
ent war furry would result IN anything
serious with Italy. He did think,
though, that the effect Of Il would be to
wake up congress to the necessity Of
better coast defenses and larger
navy. In addition to the new gun fac
tory, the last congress made an appro-
priation Of $4,000, 900 for the purchase
of large guns manufactured by private
concerns That will furnish us with
one hundred large pieces. New York
is not without considerable degree Of
protection, as we have quite sn eff
cient torpedo service. With the advent
of the heavily-armored ships Of late
years, great improvements have been
made in mortar service. It IL sur.

BEATING A RAILROAD.
How Dishonest Travelling Man Tried 20
Swell His Pocketbook.

Swell His Pocketbook.
A drummer for q St. Louis clothing
house tried to play low-down trick on
the Alton road at Dwight one day re-
Gently, and but for the chance observa.
tit'n Of a female passenger who was
awaiting her train his scheme would
undoubtedly have succeeded.
The fellow, says the Chicago Herald,
held checks for two pieces of baggage,
trunk and a satchel. Obtaining per-
mission from the baggageman. who
was at work on the platform, to go in
side and place an extra sample in his
trunk the travelling man shortly
emerged from the baggage-room protest
ing that he was unable to find his
satchel Search was at once instituted,
but to no effect; the missing grip for
which he held a check was nowhere to
be found. As it was not Forthcoming
when the train arrived the drummer
made formal complaint to the station
agent and put in claim Of one hundred
dollars against the road to reimburse
him for his loss.
After the man had left, lady who
sat in the waiting-room, and who had
been quiet but interested observer of
the proceedings, walked toward the
ticket window and inquired Of tho
agent if the drummer had actually
claimed that his valise had been stolen.
She was told such was the case.
"Well," said the woman, 81 am con.
WINGED that the fellow is fraud, for
from where sat had clear view OF
the baggage-room,> and distinctly saw
that man go in there, unlock his trunk
and place his satchel inside. Then after
pretending to hunt around the room he
rushed out and began abusing the bag
igageman."
! The agent whistled thoughtfully. It
was a new dodge on him. Then he
sent dispatch to the operator at the
r., P. and N. junction, to which place
which he outlined the circumstances
and urged that the agent call two or
three reputable citizens and in their
presence open the trunk.
The st. Louis man was uptown when
the telegram arrived, but his baggage
was at the station. Hastily calling in
the city marshal and the nearest black
smith, the lock Of the trunk was slxillful-
~ picked, and there, Just beneath the
tray, lay the missing satchel.
The entire particulars have just been
sent in to the general Office Of the Al
ton, together with the very saucy let
ter demanding one hundred dollars.
In reply an answer was sent the st.
Louis drummer to the effect that il he
ever dared press his claim any further
he would be vigorously prosecuted and
punished to the full extent Of the law.
Since the exposure of this well-laid
tscheme to raise the wind it transpires
that the artful dodger has been work
ing the plan on other roads, but as the
mans claims had not been paid, owing
to the usual red tape that obtains in
such cases, the chances are that he
will never press any Of them for final

Times, will find an interesting subject

of a jeweler in Bucyrus, o. For many
years it has been the office of skillful
German matchmaker whose name is
Frank Kehrer, to attend to the town
clock. During the last few months the
health Of Mr.. Kehrer has been poor,
and the clock, deprived Of his careful
attention, has been keeping Indifferent
time.
i One Monday morning recently the
Nimepiece struck flve o'clock and few
moments later it stopped. Early risers
who heard the chime say there was
something indescribably weird and pc
culiar about it. Later risers noticed
that the clock hands pointed to sos,
commenting upon the subject and its
aged guardian. Later in the day the
news spread that Mr.. Kehrer's condi-
tion had suddenly become worse, and
that he had died at sos that morning.
! When the late State Senator j. B.
Smith, of Hancock county, w. Va..
passed away, his family looked at his
watch to see the time. The hands
pointed to 1902. When 8. G. Smith,

The remains of Thomas Dempsey, a resi-

urday morning about three miles from Desh-
Ter. He was in Defiance Thursday and drew
sum of money for the purchase of timber.
Arriving at Deshler Friday evening on the G..
ii. & D. train from the South, he started for
Aamler or Woodville there being no train on
the B. & o. that made these towns. His back
and neck were crushed, which must have
caused instant death, and his body bruised
in horrible manner, nearly beyond recog-
milton. The money he had drawn was found
intact, therefore he was without doubt killed
by the fast line going west
Mr.. Dempsey has been we'll and favorably
known in Henry county for many years as
a successful dealer in timber. 1t is with grief
that his many friends lealn of his untimely
and tragic death. What makes his demise
doubly sad was his intended marrige in
two weeks.
How the accident could have occurred will
always remain mystery. Parties who saw
him last at Deshler affirm his sobriety. He
is a trife deaf and this intirmity without
doubt is the cause of the accident.
