LONDON, Oct. ls.-Death has been devas-
tatipg the continent without mercy this
summer, but from present appearances
England must prepare for the coming of a
specter only less terrible. Hunger will
soon invade Great Britain. Thousands of
skilled workmen in almost all the trades
are nov idle. through no fault of their
own. The evil has grown gradually, and
attention has been called 10 it by the sud.
den discharge of great bodies of men.
Working forces have been cut down grad

The docks are half deserted. The labor

A PRIVILEGED FEMALE BURGLAR.
She steals What She Pleases In Kodiak,
Evidently Having q "PuIl."

KODIAK, Alaska, Sept. 12-tSpecial Core
spondence. l-Great Indignation has been caused
among the residents here by the action of the
United States marshal at sitka in ordering his
deputy here 70 release a woman who was caught
IL the act OF robo.ng dwelling. The facts are
"a follows: On the night of July - the house
OF William Rhodes was broken into ana cash to
the amount OF $50 and clothing to the amount
OF $50 were stolen. No clue to the thief could
De found until the next night, when q woman
by the name OF Oxenia Meoshkiu was found
concealed in the upper portion Of the house.
She had evidently been disturbed in her opera
lions and had hid in the unfinished por-
ZION OF che house, where she remained until
the following night. when hunger and thirst
forced her to attenpt'to escape. She was caught
red-handed. with ali the stolen property in her
possession, and WAS turned over to the deputy
United States marshal here, together with the
stolen property. The next day she was ex-
smined before the Justice of the peace, and held
for trial at sitka. While in the charge of the
deputy marshal, for reasons only known to
himself. he allowed her to roam about town as
she pleased. which liberty she made profitable
use OF by robbiDg the dwelling OF Fred Sartent.
During the period that she was under arrest
the store of Cope & Coiwell was also broken
into and robbed, but this has not yet been traced
to her. After the arrival of the last mail from
s;tka the deputy marshal set the prisoner at
do % from the United States marshal at Sitks,
but when he came tofeturn the stolen property
TO its fightful owners il was found that q great
portion was missing.
This was more than the citizens could stand,
so In order to intimidate the woman they took
her into a vacant house and put rope around
her neck, telling her that il she did not tell
them where the stolen property was they would
hang her. She then became frightened and took
them to . place in the woods where she had
hidden the things stolen from Mr. Sarjent and
also the missing articles belonging to william
Rhodes, which she had stoeu . second time
from the deputy marshal while in his custody,
together with some other things the owners of
which have not yet been found.
Robberiss have been quite numerous here
during the last twelve months, and 1t is evident
from the articles found that this woman has
committed most Of them. How many she will
commit in the future it is hard to say, but she
ID still at liberty. more brazen than ever on ao-
count of the victory she has gained over the
policeman.

THE BOY NOT FOUND.
Frank Glenn still Among the
Missing.


Frank Gleen has not as yet been found.
Tomorrow night IL will be one week since
Frank left home and since then many
rumors have come to the ears OF his
mother, but all have proven unsatisfac-
tory.
Yesterday George Smith the young
vagrant who claimed to have been with
Frank the night he left home was arrested
for lettering around Mrs, Glenn's house
and annoying her and her daughter who
live there alone.
Yesterday afternoon James Yant went
toAlliance and found that boy answering
to Franks description had been seen with
an oldish bum and that they had gone
westward. Yant found from fagmen
along the road that the couple bad came
this way for six miles. The last hagman
who saw the boy and bis older companion
said that he heard the boy ask his old
partner how long II would take to go
to Salineville as he had relatives at that
place.
The boy has number Of relatives living
In Salineville, so IL would seem reasona-
BILE that he would want to go there. A
number of persons have said that they
have seen the boy in Canton, but all when
questioned closely, say they were told
that he was here or that they thought they
saw the boy. 1t was reported last night
that the boy was in company with num-
ber Of tramps encamped in the old glass
works on Marion street, and had been
camping there for a number of nights.
An officer went down and searched the
works but found neither boy nor tramps.

The engine Great Britain, which had
the honor of conveying her majesty
from Carlisle to Wolverhampton, en-
route fron Scotland to Windsor, last
November, is perhaps the most power
full engine that has ever been built. AL
though heavier than any other that has
been made at Crewe, it is so constructed
that there is no more than the usual
weight on any one pair of wheels, and
there is therefore no extra strain ON the
permanent way or bridges. This is
brought about by the two pairs of driv-
ing wheels being placed in front of the
firebox, and an additional pair Of small
wheels behind the firebox and under
meath the footplate, having half an inch
of side play. The wheels under the
front or leading end are fitted with
Webb's patent radial axle box, so that,
although of great length, the engine can
travel over curves with complete safety.
