chatting at street corners when they
were taken by the officers.
1t was late in the afternoon when the
warrants, based on the information Of
Chief Justice Paxson, reached Home
stead and were placed in the hands Of
the officers 10 serve. They first caught
Crawford and Dierken, who owere hurried

A BOLD SCHEME.

lows Farmers Try TO Divert the Channel
or the Missouri.
BELLEVUE, Neb., Oct. 3.--One of the
boldest undertakings in the history of
Nebraska has been inaugurated here.
For some time the Missouri river at this
point has threatened many fine farms on
the Iowa side. 1t became apparent that
il the channel was not diverted thou
sands Of dollars Of damages will result.
During the night large gang Of men
crossed over from Iowa and commenced
digging canal ten feet deep an quar-
ter Of . mile long to divert the chanel
to Nebraska The gang is well armed
and determined to complete their work
before Nebraslka people can act. The

damage viii result to Nebraska--even
greater than Ii threatened to Iowa. The
work was commenced in lonely point
and was discovered by accident. "A
movement IS On foot to resist the scheme

I'M SUPREME COURT.

Labor CotDmissioner Peck's Mandamus
Case Heard &C Hudson.
HUDSON, N. Y. Oct. 3.--The matter Of
application Ut e. Ellery Anderson for .
mandamus compelling Labor Commits
sioner Peck 10 produce in court the
private papers in which he compiled his
report on the tariff came up before JUS
tice Edwards, ex-senator Norton Chase
appearing for Mr.. Anderson and Ed
ward Meegan for the commissioner of
labor. tt was a special term of the
supreme court and this was the first
actual hearing yet given. The original
order directing Mr.. Peck to show cause
why peremptory writ Of mandamus
should not be issued was granted by
Justice Edwards and was returnable at
special term held in Kingston by
Judge Fursuian. A postponement was
effected and the case was before Justice
Mayham on Tuesday last. He declined
to hear 1t On the ground that Mr.. JUS
tice Edwa-ls had issued the preliminary
order and saouid hear the case. There
were nunl6er of ex-parte cases heard,
then Mr.. Chase presented the same pa
pers as We're presented to Judge Furs-
man at Kingston. reciting that Mr.. Peck
had refused 10 allow public papers on
file In his Office and N5tained under the
seal of the labor commissioner to be ex-
amined, although the law strictly
provided that the papers on file in his
Office were published properly. They
therefore asked for peremptory writ Of
mandamus to compel the production Of
such documents. Mr.. Meegan for Mr..
Peck presented the affidavit as printed
on Tuesday, In which he states that the
communication and letters upon which
his report is based 'swere never filed nor
made q record in my Office and were
never the property Of the state, but
were private letter. and whatever
property exists In them is d.
vided between this deponent and the
several senders OF the letters. am adj

cision of Woolsey vs.. Judd, four Deur,

this honorable court, that the publica-
tion Of names and addresses Of the per-
sons and corporations who have fur
nisI.sd the dat. upon which my report is
basel, wonla be greatly injurious to the
public interests.
After the arguments were concluded
Judge Edwards skid: 81 perhaps ought

Grounds for Believing That ". r. Cana
day wAs SIurdsred.
WASHINGTON, Oct. Colonel w. p
Canady, ex-sergeaut-at-arms of the
United State senate, whose death oc-
curred last Tuesday, has been buried.
The case has taken on some mysterious
features, and the theory IL advanced
that the colonel did not commit suicide.
An exert glazier says the window in the
room where the deceased was found
bound to the door was broken from the
outside and the gentleman who cut him
loose says he had no idea that Canaday
had tied the cords himself. Other occu-
pants of the house state that they heard
voices in the room some time in the
night. Those facts, together with the
fact that certain personal property
the colonel was known to have in his
possession, notably two gold watches,
cannot be found. The other fact,
deemed to be pertinent, was, that the
charred papers found on the floor of the
room prove to be the remnants OF notes
for money loaned by him, warrant his
friends in asserting that there was d
genuine burglary, and thatif the colonel
did kill himself he was driven to it by
the consciousness that he was unjustly
suspected.
j. G. Callahan has been appointed
collector by the court to take possession
Of Colonel Canady's effects pending the
appointment Of an administrator Of the
estate.

Sparring on Boston Common.

Two black boys not more than thir-
teen years old were the center of interest
for all who CHANGED to pass this noon
along the Common, near the Park street
gate. They were equipped with set of
boxing gloves, and having taken up a
position on the lawn where the grass
was longest they proceeded to show how
sklllful they were on the attack and de-
fence. After a brief bit of sparring, a
ring of interested spectators was formed,
and the bout rapidly became more excit-
ing. The good nature of the combatants
was never ruHed, for whether it was a.
sharp blow on the nose or smart cut
under the ear, the victim always recov-
seredzinstantlyand stepped up again with
smile that showed his glistening worries
from ear to ear. No guardian of the
peace CHANGED along to interrupt the.
sport, and spectators and principals en-
joyed it with relish. When they had
SPARED to their hearts content, the bows
drew off their gloves and started off
down town.-Boston Transcript.

"A Corkscre1y Railroad.

In Midway plaisance, just outside the
exposition grounds, the Worlds Fair
Tower company will erect an odd and
striking structure. The tower will not
be remarkable for its height, for it is to
be only $50 feet tall, but for the peculiar
method of getting to the top of it. This
tower is something in the form Of a.
corkscrew, surrounded by uprights of
steel. It consists of a winding track
leading to the top, the track being sup
ported by steel columns.
1t is not intended to use elevators in
making the ascent, but instead cars pro-
PEELED by electricity will take the pas
sengers up. Near the top is landing
place in the form Of floor that extends
entirely across the tower, which is 200
feet in diameter. Here passengers will
alight. From this landing place they
can get fine view of the grounds. The
company has secured its site and will
soon begin work on the tower.-Pitts-

Gladstone'S Appointments,

The Offices that the prime minister has
been distributing carry with them sala-
ries amounting in the aggregate to
100000 a year. In addition to it the
ministers themselves have at their dis
posal nearly 800 appointments, with an
average income of $1,000 year each.
These appointments, however, are not
annual, but occur as vacancies arise
from death or resignation. There are
nearly 1900 other offices, with salaries
varying from $3.50 to $1,000, that are
also at the disposal of the minister's
