.Anin,ais and steam Engines.


In a German engineering journal a
writer contrasts the behavior OF different
animals leward steam machinery thus :
The OK, that proverbially stupid ANNA ,
stands composedly on the track Of a rail-
way without having any idea of the dan
ger that threatens him, dogs run among
the wheels Off departing railway train
without suffering any injury. and birds
seem to take particular delight in the
steam engine. Larks often build their
nests and rear their young under the
switches of railway over which heavy
trains are constantly rolling, and swal'
lows make their home in engine houses.
A pair Of swallows have reared their
young for u year in mill where noisy
500 horse power engine is working night
and day. and another pair have built a
nest in the paddle-box OF steamer.

Makers Of the Queer"

CINCINNATI, O., Feb. 21.-The greatest
haul of counterfeiters, including the
capture of plates and printed bills, ever
made here, was accomplished to-day
by government detectives. The whole
gang is in jail. They are Ralph Vision,
Street photographer. and w. L. Brown,
an engraver. Detectives have been
working the case since Dec. 26. They
captured a dozen photographed en-
graved ties of the Grant series of the
SIS silver certificate and found CARLOAD
of dangerous printed bills. They also
captured in process of preparation $40
silver certificate plate of the Hendricks
series of 'S6. Besides these they found
glass etchings for both counterfeits in
course of preparation. Bob F. Wing,
whom John Vision had solicited to
''shove" the goods, informed the detec-
tives.

THE BLAINE DIVORCE.
Mrs. Blaine Says Her Mother-in-law Wa'
the Cause of the Trouble.

the Cause of the Trouble.
DEADwooD, S. D., Feb. 19.-At last the
Blaine divorce case has come to trial,
and all testimony is in. This morning
fudge Palmer, the plaintiffs attorney,
read the complaint and the defendants
answer, and then read the dispositions
until 2 O'Clock, when recess was taken
for two hours. Three dispositions were
read, those of Gen. Martin Mcmahon,
Drs. Fraser T. Fuller and Wyn-
koop, in order named. The
dispositions Of Drs. Fuller and Wyn-
koop, after confirming that of Gen.
Mcmahon as to the amity in which the
young couple had apparently passed the
first few months OF their married life,
related chiefly to the condition of the
plaintiff IS health after her unhappiness
began. DR.. Fuller was called in during
the temporary absence of the family
physician, DR.. Wynkoop, in Europe.
He testified that Mrs Blaine suffered a
miscarriage, which witness believed was
| due entirely to mental anxiety. DR..
Wynkoop, on his return from Europe,
assumed charge of the case.
! This afternoon Mrs. Blaine was on
the stand. She recited the story of her
| marriage, which was fastened because
her husband did not want her to 60 on
the stage. She spoke of the happy first
year and then detailed the visit of the
young couple to Maine, where her hus-
| band was kept away from her by his
mother; told how she had been
| foiled in attempts to become reconciled
to him; gave the details of her return
to New York and subsequent sickness
and sufferings in thet city. She had
come to South Dakota for home, and
wanted especially to secure custody of
her child, which she was able to sup
port by her pen. This closed the testi-
mony, and, after the submission of
some law points, the case will be closed.
A decision is not expected for some

ROTTEN INSTITUTIONS.
Savings Banks in New South Wales Sus-
pend PAYMENTS.

SYDNEY, N. S. W., Feb 2O.-Ten of the
largest of the local savings banks
stopped payment during the last fort
night and many of the remaining ones
are likely to follow. Societies that only
few months ago paid at their an
nual meetings from y to Is per cent
dividends to their shareholders, could
not see their way after two days run to
pay to the poor widows their few
pounds of hard earnings, deposited in
these miscalled savings banks, let alone
fixed deposits that had matured. Liqu-
idation will give the unfortunate
depositors perhaps 5 shillings
on the pound after a period
of three years Or more. Some will
not even get that much. And all this
has been going on for years, under the
very noses of Parliament and the ex-
ecutive government. and nobody lifted
a finger to check the swindle. But then,
members of Parliar ent, magistrates,
and even ministers of the crown, head
ed the lists as directors and sharehold-

The Canadian Commissioners.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. lS.-Sir John
Thompson, one of the Washington COM
missioners, being seen, said accounts OF
their mission published in American
papers were far from true. George
E. Foster said of the statements of
the press correspondents at Wash
ington. they seemed to have been
written in narrow, ungener-
GUS spirit. He was glad to be able to
add that he and his colleagues found
none of that spirit in their interviews
with members of the United States
cabinet. All the questions laid down
thoroughly and frankly discussed. He
could state that good results would be
brought about. There had been no cav
ling as to the authority of Canadian
delegates between the United States
and the home government.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Feb. 21.-All the
street car lines in this city to-day were
without men to operate them. The
companies made no attempt to start
cars throughout the city, and more than
the usual Sunday quiet prevailed. At
the barns and power houses there are

with them are committees Of the strik-

business tomorrow by starting cars on

FATAL 1RONWOOD BLAZE.
Three Children Burned to Death-Es
cape of the Mother.

Three Children Burned to Death-Es-
cape of the Mother.
IRoNwooo, Mich, Feb. 2O.-One OF
the most appalling catastrophies in the
history of this city occurred last night.
The store building occupied on the first
floor by Charles Bedard, as saloon,
Charles Delongcamp's wife and six
children residing in the second story,
was burned TO the ground. Albert,
Marie and Charles, aged Z, 5 and
2 years respectively, children of De-
longcamps, were burned to death. The
mother, with two-weeks-old babe In
her arms and two older children. were
rescued with great difficulty.
The fire, which originated In the
the kitchen, was caused by an explo-
sion of kerosene lamp. 1t spread like
q flash through the building and the
terrified children rushed in all direc-
tons. When taken from the burning
building and questioned as to where
the children were likely to be found,
the frantic mother could give no clue,
as she had become separated from
them in the dense smoke.
The tiremen and citizens fought the
fire with renewed energy, but it was OF
no avail, and it soon became apparent
that the little ones were doomed. The
bodies of the children were taken from
the ruins, two being found close togeth-
er, about ten feet from the front OF the
building. The third was thirty feet
away, in another portion of the house.
Several prominent citizens were seri-
ously burned while attempting to rescue
