read and Badly Treated.
Lyons, N. r, March 16.-John Still.
son, negro, stayed over night at the
police station. He appeared before Po-
lice Justice Carver yesterday morning
and told pitiful tale. He said he was
10 years Of age and came from Knoxville
Tenn. man came there and hired him
and about 100 others to work ON the
Adirondack Railroad ct $1.25 per day
and board.
He said thay were quartered in 9
shanty with scarcely any fire. Rain and
ished was insufficient and unwholesome,
and he could not work on It. Every
thing needed had to be purchased from
the company'S stores at outrageous
prices, He wore common Bingham
shirt worth . quarter and said he had to
pay 90 for It to the company. At last he
decided to slip out. He said q sub-con-
tractor had drawn the mems wages and
run away without paying them. The
contractors refused to let the men go,
and he had to run away in the night
through the snow waist deep. Poor
masters had helped him along from
place to place.
StillsOn appeared to be very intelligent
and narrated his experience to q reporter
in straightforward manner. HIS said
that while he was there gang of Ital
ians got dissatisfied and left. They
were pursued by the bosses with guns
and four were killed. Three were frozen
to death on their way to village.

A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.
A Popular Young Western Man Shoots His
Employers aud Himself.

Employers aud Himself.
T1FF1N, O., March 16.-The most ap-
palling tragedy that has ever been re-
corded in the history of Tif1n occurred
yesterday. Walter A Snyder, one OF
the wealthy and most popular young
men in the city, while engaged in a
friendly conversation with two of his
employers, Burton w. Cribaugh and
Edward T. Naylor, suddenly, and with
out word of warning, pulled a revolver
and began firing at them.
Cribaugh was struck in the back and
two balls passed through MAYORS body.
Thomas W. Downey, q fellow-clerk in
terferred and was shot three times.
Snyder then ran up stairs and put the
remaining bullet in his revolver through
his own heart.
The scene of the tragedy was the NAM
moth hardware store of J. N. Naylor,
one of the Oldest establishments in the
city. For many years E. T. Naylor, a
half brother of the proprietor. Cribaugh
and Snyder, have been employed in the
store aud they have been like brothers.
Last week the senior Mr.. Naylor an
nounced his determination to make a
change in the firm by the admission OF
Cribaugh and the younger Nay1or.
Snyder was worth probably $50, 600 and
was unmarried, but his money was So
tied up in real estate that he was unable
to take an interest in the business. This
seems to have SO preyed upon his mind
as to produce insanity. for there is nc
doubt that his work was that of mad
man.

MRS. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.

because it is almost impossible for any
person of that character to pass the
main front door, which is guarded by
Capt. Dinsmore, handsome giant who
has been on duty there for many years.
Very few people in Washington, not
even the cabinet ministers. realize the
condition Of the business offices. They
are always in a wel-kept condition,
and the superfuous files for which
there is no room are stored away either
in the cellar or garnet. With adequate
room all these valuable papers, extend.
kept within easy access Of the officials
in whose charge they are.
It is generally conceded that the east
room, on the ground floor, belongs to
the dear people of the republic. Hence
it Is always open during tho day and
every respectable visitor has permission
to enter 2. It takes exactly four hun
dred and forty-two yards Of Brussels
carpet to cover the floor Of this room,
and from this fact you can gain an idea
of the sense of vastness which over
comes a person upon his first entrance
into 1t. The ceiling is about three
times as high as that in any drawing
room in this country, and it is elabor-
ately painted in silver and gold. It is
a singular fact that some people who
come to Washington and enter this
room, instead of having that respect for
it which they should have, instead Of
having that feeling Of personal pride
which we might naturally expect Of our
own citizens, look upon it as curiosity
shop, from which they should carry
homo some memento. In consequence
of this kleptomaniac idea which perme-
ates so many minds, it is not uncommon
70 find pieces Of furniture Clipped of
with penlnives, and an occasional slice
| has been taken from the corners Of the
carpet. 1t is said that upon one occa-
sion during the war lady was caught
in the act of cutting piece out of one
of the costly lace curtains, and was
taken directly before President Lin
coin. The president said that as mat
ter of strict legal duty abe should be ar
rested and put in prison, but on account
of her husband, who was then in the
army at the front, President Lincoln
permitted her to depart, with the in
junction that it would be wise for her
to leave the city, and she did so.
| Mr.. Hemphill, of South Carolina.
chairman of the house committee on the
District of Columbia, is interested in the
white house extension and all other
matters pertaining to the improvement

1t was his intention to prepare a bill fol

( sion; but he has been advised that Mr.
Holman, chairman of the committee or
appropriation, would not permit the
passage of such a bill Therefore moth
ing is likely to be done during this ses
sion of congress, unless an appropris
ton is made by the senate and attached
to one of the deficiency appropriation
bills. The outlook, however, for thil
improvement in the immediate future
Is not hopeful. SMITH D. FRY.

away from his mothers house, 49S 1-2

STARTING A run"

A Splendid Illustration OF tho Growth OF
u Runor.
The damage that can be lone by ex-
eggeration as reports pass from mouth
to mcilth received a striking illustration
in Akron, O., the other day. About nine
o'clock in the morning a runaway horse
dashed through the plate-glass window
of n of the biggest banks of the city.
The incident of course caused consider
able excitement for a moment, and as
the news of it spread through town
some nervous and excitable Individual
connected the words ''run" and tbank''
in an ominous way. This idiot soon
was convinced that there was a run
on the bank, and he so told all the
shop people in his neighborhood. That
was enough. Nothing more was needed.
BY twelve o'clock hat day there were
hundreds of ~money-mad and frenzied
men and women around that bank
scrambling to withdraw their deposits.
The broken plate-plass window only
served to increase their excitement, and
all attempts by the bank officials to ex-
plain h situation were howled down,
By the closing hour in the afternoon
thousands of dollars had been drained
from the vaults Of the bank, and but
for other banks coming to the assist
ance of the unfortunate institution that
night by distributing circulars around
the city telling depositors thai they
(the other banks) would cash all
checks, properly certified, on the bank
with the broken p~late-glass window
the run would have continued the next
day and resulted in "busting" the hank,
for there is no institution that can

AN Q DIVISION.

The Census Bureau issued a bulle-
tin last Saturday on the subject Of az
ses,ed valuation of property in the
United States. 1t shows that the
value of all property, except in GER
tain specified States, has increased
from $4,000, 1893, 543 ia 1880 to S24,-
GIL, ,S3,4S5 in 1890, an increase dur
ing the decade of $7,749,591 1922, or
about As per cent.
Should it be found upon the COM
pletion OF the inquiry, in relation to
the true valuation Of property, tina
the same relations exist now ss exist
ed in 1880, the absolute worth Of the
United States, according to the
Eleventh Census, may be estimated
at $63,64O 100000, Or more than $1,000
Ter CT pita, as against S514 per capita
an 1850, $3.50 in 1870 and $50 in 1880.
This statement shows that the
country ID increasing rapidly in
wealth, but the wealth is not equally
distributed. Forty years ago the
wealth of the United States did not
excesd $500 per capita but it was
much more equs;,y distributed than
at present when it is more than $1,000
per capita. Then tramps we're as
Fare as millionaires; now there is an
excess of both. To-day the wealth
OF the country is more unequally di-
vided than aver before in it's history
aud the inequality is becoming o Q
apparent annually.--[Reno Journ, I

Some one has sagely remarked that the
umbrella is only the child of the parnsol-
stalwart and healthy offspring certainly
and one that does credit to its progenitor
1t is true that the umbrella was formerly
used for sun and not as a defense against
rain, but that was prior to its introduction
into Europe. 1t is not likely that it was
invented for use, but as a canopy for great
ness. 1t originated in Asia, more especial
ly in China, but there it is not an article iu
general use among the common people.
1t forms part Of the regalia of royalty,
and In India its use is only permitted
among the highest of the nobility. There
1t Is q badge of royalty, and one potential
is the king of the white elephant and lord
of the twenty-four umbrellas. Mrs, NJ.
