ANOTHER ALMY SENSATION,
A Pal of Cristie Warden's Murderer
Haunting the Famous Barn.

A Pal of Cristie warden's Murderer
Haunting the Famous Barn.
HANOVER, n. H, Jan. 29.-The famous
Warden barns, at the home of Almy's VIC
tim, have been thoroughly searched this
afternoon by about 40 college students
under the direction of Prof. c. II. Pettee,
with some expectation of finding man be-
lieved by the Wardens to be lurking there
abouts with intent to do them harm. The
family has received several anonymous let
ters declaring the intention of the writer to
take the lives of members of the family.
Unaccountable noises at night have been
heard around the barn, cows have been
milked and strange tracks have been seen
in the snow around the buildings.
These facts led to the belief in an in
truder, and this belief was strengthened
about two weeks ago when a strange man
was discovered in dark passageway of the
barn. He dashed quickly out of doors and
next morning his tracks were followed some
distance, but were lost in the highway.
Opinions differ as to whether it was tramp
or an old pal of Amy's. bent on carrying
out the threats made in the letters. In the
hunt to-day every possible hiding place was
gone into, and sharp-pointed rods were re-
peatedly thrust into the big haymows, but
nothing was found.

So to $50 a month, not counting the cost
of the vehicle, they could place several

is fast becoming intolerable, and the public
will be in sympathy with and support any
effort that is made in the direction of its
abatement. People who love horses will
continue to own and to use them: but it is
reasonably safe to assert that if an electric
vehicle for pleasure purposes can be built,
combining speed, ease of control and dura-
bility, it will at once find large field for
its profitable use, provided OF course that it
can compete with the horse.
The vehicle, which we illustrate here

is easily explained by the illustration. The

front axle, with the armature above
and parallel with the axle; on each end
of the armature shaft is a crank disk

WARREN, PA, Jan. 29.-[ Special. I'm
November, 1889, the Oil Well Torpedo
Company, of this place, sent one of its

outside the limits. Its red danger signal

John Green and Samuel Wall were hunting
in that vicinity There is no positive
evidence of the fact, but cir
cumstances indicate that there was
no doubt that these men, seeing the
red flag, thoughtlessly made of it target
and fired at it. Some of the shot struck one
of the nitro-glycerine cans in the boat. At
any rate, soon after the two hunters had
been seen going toward the river and imme-
diately after the report of the guns was
heard frightful explosion occurred. The
nitro-glycerine boat had blown up

Boston, Jan. 81 Special. - Captain
Selfridge, Commandant of the Charleston
Navy Yard, received dispatch this morn
ing from the Navy Department az Wash
ington, ordering the discontinuance of all
work at once OF the steamship Ohio, which
was chartered last week by the Government
for the purpose of utilizing her as a foatin g
repair shop for possible use IN Chilean
waters. Every preparation had been made
for fitting her out for immediate service,
and part of the work had already been COM
menced. The regular crew comprising about
65 men, were discharged yesterday, and a
crew of men selected from the recruits
aboard the receiving ship Wabash were
ordered to get themselves in readiness to
take their places. Nearly $4,000 worth of
work had been accomplished when the
orders to stop arrived this morning.
In chartering the Ohio the Government
has gone to a considerable expense. The
contract with the owners, who, it is said,
are the stockholders of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, is a very binding one The Gov
ernment must keep her for 80 DAYS, and pay
a sum of $500 day for the use of her. If
she is lost or destroyed the United States
will be loser to the amount of S40O, 900,
the price claimed for her by the owners
Under no circumstances will the ship be re-
ceived by the owners in any other condi-
tion than that in which she left their hands
There are other important clauses laid down
in the contract which the representatives
of the United States Navy Department
will have to follow closely if they desire to
save their Government enormous expense.

also both the hour and minute hands, and
the operation of these latter constitutes the
novel feature in the invention. As train
whirls past station the hour and minute
hands whirl around like flash to mark the
