Asleep on Niagara,s lsrink.

A story of a man snatched from the
brink of the gorge is related by James
le Blood and John Thomas.
Monday night while walking up the
long, narrow, winding roadway from
the Maid of the Mist landing to the top
Of the gorge ON the Canadian side, their
dog became uneasy when they neared
the top and began to bark loudly The
men made search along the high bank,
and to their surprise found a young man
lying on the very edge of the bank, with
his head hanging over. He was in a
stupor or sleep, and his hat had fallen
over the cliff, and any move on the part
of the man would have hurled him over.
The men resolved to grab the man sud
denly and pull him back out of danger
before he could awake. This they did.
He was found to be Charles H Moffat
of Buffalo, wealthy young man who
had been on an extended spree. .-Niaga-

For State Division.

EDITORS HERALD: When we have an
ak to grind and are looking around fol-
boy to do the turning act, we should
be careful and not pick up the boy that
we refused to let ride in our empty
wagon, when his feet were bare and
tender.
Now that San Francisco has an ak to
grind, they are quite willing to be for
given for the many Sights which we of
Southern California have received at
their hands. We all know that have
been in business here any length of
time how, with bare and tender feet, we
have been refused ride and only told
to go to warmer place. Forgiveness
and charity are commendable virtues,
bat the latter should always begin at
home.
II we accede to theii requests, and
turn in and help them, it will all be out
of selfish motives, and 80 considered by
them, and it will have no effect what
ever to lessen the sectional jealousy
which exists between the two sections,
which will never be done until we have
state division. Family jealousies and
feuds always creep in when their inter-
ests become divided, 80 they cannot be
held in common; while the same fami-
lies, when separated and each are look
ing after themselves, will become pros
porous and harmonious.
To longer contend against the state
division proposition will only serve to
keep alive that Jealousy, and the sooner
it is settled the better it will be for all /.
The above is not written to throw cold
water on the midwinter fair, but to show
that such feeling does exist in both
sections and will not down.
A CLOSE OBSERVER.
P. Snow that we have shoes for our
feet and wagon OF our own to ride in,
don't let US forget that we have youth
iul cities growing up all about US with
tender feet, and that an offer to let them
ride with us will insure us whole fam
lily OF boys to do the turning when we
have an ak to grind. @. o.

SHE HELD THE FORT.
A Curious Tale of Sewing Ma

Curious Tale of Sowing Ma
r chine.
San Francisco Chronicle; Yesterday
Sheriff McDade was called on to send
two of his deputies to 504 Union street
in company with sewing machine
agent who had sued out writ OF replev-
in directed against Mrs. Frances de
Gregoria, whom the agent alleges was
wrongiully holding possession of sew-
ing machine belonging to his company.
In point OF fact, as the sheriff has been
informed, the lady has paid $40 on the
machine and says she is ready to pay the
$6 balance, which she insists ia all that
is due, but the agents story is that the
price of the machine was to be $65, in
stead OF $50.
Arrived at 405 Union street the depu-
ties found the door locked and barred
hard and fast, and ell their knocks and
verbal applications for admission were
without effect. Finally, however, an
upstairs window was opened and Mrs.
de Gregoria protruded her angry face
over the sill.
"Whata You wanta?'' she demanded.
"We've come about the machine, !"
explained the agent. "These gentlemen
are deputy sheriffs, and -"
"Justa you getta sway from there, you
rascalla man. / do no believe the
sheriff gentlemana wanta taxa my ma
chine away from poora woman lika
mea. / tinka you tella tone mora big
lie."
Down went the window at this, and
Mrs. de Gregoria declined to notice any
more knocks or rings.
II tell you what" said the agent
after time, las deputy sheriffs it will
be all right for you to effect an entrance
forcibly, and you can do it by getting
into the back yard and climbing over
the transom of the rear door,"
But the deputies had no stomach for
what looked very much like an imposi-
tion upon woman who had already
paid nearly all of the money due on the
disputed property, and they said as
much.
''Just excuse us, please; we're not
housebreakers and don't feel called on
to do anything like this"
With that the party started to 20
away, whereupon up went the window
again and Mrs. de Gregoria's head came
out.
"You bada, bada man +" she shouted,
shaking her fist at the agent, "justa you
coma back when my husband he at
homs. But you DO come then. No.a!
Coward, coward, coward
The agent shrugged his shoulders.
'Her husbands big fisherman about
seven feet high and stout in proportion.
Iguess won't bother about calling to
explain the case to him. He mightn't
understand, you know"
So they left Mrs. de Gregoria still
holding the fort and the sewing
machine, though the agent now talks OF
calling on the police to assist him in re-
covering the property in dispute.

former inmates are now married and are
living happily as wives and mothers ;
respectable employment has been found
for others, and as whole the army may
we'll point with pride to the splendid
record of the Beulah home.
The question that must be met, and
that promptly, is whether the army can
raise the funds needed to secure this
permanent home for the unfortunate
girls. The amount is small in compari-
son to the real value of the property,
and infinitely small in comparison to
the great good that might be done by
the home. The army assuredly can not
raise this amount unless a generous
public comes to their assistance. /
wonder If it is possible in this large city,
with SO many of ample means, 30 many
who openly profess to follow in the foot
steps OF the Master, is there not one
who could afford to purchase this mort
gage and allow the Salvation army to
pay it in installments? Again, are
there not many who could afford to con-
tribute something for this purpose? II
you doubt the sincerity of the poor
girls, there ia but one way to put the
matter to the test Help the army to
give them the one chance they ask. II
you do this we will freely acknowledge
that your skirts are clear.
Will not come Of the many charitable
societies lend us helping hand, and OF
the many churches are there not some
that will assist in this work?
The writer would most gladly give
fuller information of this work to any
one interested, and any reader who
could find it in their heart to contribute
who would offer any plans or suggestions
of assistance wonld be welcomed by the
writer at her residence, 4159 South

THE TRAIN ROBBERS.

The latest news concerning the pur-
suit of the Oliphant train robbers
still at large comes from the town of
Clarksvile, Ark, where Mr.. l. +. Boyd
OF Searcy county, one of Sheriff
Hodges posse, arrived late last eve
ming with message to Mr.. Rose, Su-
perintendent of the Iron Mountain
railroad, stating that posse compos-
ed of fifteen men, headed by Sheriffs
Williams of lizard, Hodge of Searcy,
and Story of Stone, were in close
pursuit of five of the train robbers,
and at last accounts were only six or
seven minutes behind them. The
robbers on last Thursday night stop
ped at house for supper, and the
lady of the House made them aware
of the fact that the country therca-
bouts was aroused and on hunt for
train robbers, and the whole five left
at once without waiting to eat their
supper, which they had paid for in
advance On Friday night they were
heard of again and have been follow
ed closely until about sundown last
night, they were about one and one
quarter miles east of Snow Postoffice
near Swain, Newton county, Ark. At
that time the posse was about quar-
ter of mile behind them.
The above news, which appears to
be definite and reliable, is the latest
yet received from the scene of pursuit.
Daily Texarkana Democrat., 1893-11-17

the news of the robbery spread
through the big Office building. The
central station detectives were notif-
ed and Inspector Shea's men were put
to work on the case. The assaulted
treasurer was able to get on his feet
in few hours and left the building.
The assault occurred about o'clock,
when but few people were in the
building. No one about the place re-
membered having seen the suspicious
characters, and dense mystery sur
rounds the affair, which is one of the
boldest in Chicago for years.
News of the robbery created a
hustle at the central police station,
the like of which has not been seen
since the shooting of Mayor Harrison.
The police overhauled many suspects
and it was reported that detectives
had arrested two men at a depot, who
refused to give all account Of them
selves. None of the officers would ad-
nit that an arrest had been made.
