Commissioner Allen, who returned from

Sanborn as saying that the deaths OF Mrs.
Perssor and her two children. who died on

ministered by Mrs. Perssor on account OF

the man who posed as her husband on the

Sandy Hook for the steerage passengers.
who had been previously removed to Hoff-
man island and undergone from four to five
days detention there. This decision was
arrived at owing TO the facilities az Hot-
man island for disinfection. and also be-
cause of it's proximity to the hospital on
Swinburne island. Both doctors agreed
il would be preferable not to remove any
passengers TO Sandy Hook camp until dis
infection had been done and the period Of
incubation over.

midnight from S~winburne island:

Democracy IL q Tax.

Special 70 the Indianapolis Journal
DELPHI. Ind. Sept. 15.-The Democracy
of Carroll county were never before in
such al embarrassing situation as to-day.
When the fret installment OF taxes fell
due last April, and nineteen taxpayers out
OF twenty were grumbling on account of
the increase, the Democratic leaders
charged the increase TO the Republican
Board of County Commissioners. who
made the levy. They charged "conspir-
acy," and smoothed over the ruffled tax
payers anger by promising to reduce the
levy at the first opportunity. This oppor-
tunIty came yesterday. when the Demo-
cratic Board of County Commissioners met
To make the new levy. TO the amazement
OF everybody. they raised the county levy
from 20 to % cents on each 800, and also
raised the Bird &c levy fcom 10 To Is cents
on the 500. In addition they imposed a
township levy of z cents on the city of Del
phi. something that has never before been
done. The leaders are now absolutely at
sea IN explaining the action of its own
board.

How They Accomplish Their Work

In former days the tool of a high
wayman consisted of an ordinary sandbag

mond to the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
- Armed with this weapon. the footpad
would lay in wait in some dark alley. pick
out belated trav eller, and as he came by
step noiselessly up behind him.
- A sharp blow on the head settled the
matter. and the robber would search his
victim at his leisure. The sandbag was
too unhandy to carry. and it often led to
the capture of dangerous criminals.
Nowadays footpads travel by threes.
They will walk up the street together.

of him until q dark corner is reached,
and then purposely make room for him
THE pedestrian will in nine cases out Of
ten take the bait and attempt 10 hurry by.
Az he does so the tallest of the three will
throw his arms around the victims threat
and force him backward.
"A second man will deliver quick blow
in the stomach which settles the traveller.
aud the third man does the searching. So
quickly is the work done that the victim
seldom gets time to get description Of

DELIGHTFUL POISON.

The Name Given Wine by the Per-
SLAMS Since Its Discovery.
Wine is reputed to have been discov-
cred By Jemsheed. the founder Of Per-
sepolis, the famous capital of ancient
Persia. He was great lover of grapes,
says an exchange. and In order TO have
them all the year round had large quanti-
ties packed away in enormous earthen
jars. After standing for some time one of
the jars was opened and the grapes we're
found in state of fermentation.
Jemsheed imagined that the resultant
liquor was poisonous. and accordingly
bad it placed in other jars which were
labelled - Poison and conveyed to his
bedchamber.
One of the ladies of the harem hap
pened to be suffering from severe head
ache So great was tho pain that sue was
driven to the verge OF distraction. and.
spying one of the vessels containing the
grape juice, Immediately opened it and
took copious draught of the supposed
poison.
The wine mounted 10 her head, over
powered her senses. and she sank into q
profound sleep, from which she awoke
greatly refreshed. The remedy proved
SO enticing that she INDUCED in it when

last the jars were emptied.
