A Prisoner Who Is Not Enamored
With the stone Pile at the Jail.
An opium fiend who had served out his
time in the County Jail was released
couple of days ago and the officials gladly
bade him goodbye. He had pal, how
ever, and the next day he slipped around
to the gate where the prisoners exercise
their m usces on the stone heap, and tried
to communicate with his pal, and proba-
bly, to pass some consolation to him in
the shape of opium. Sheriff O'Neil, how
ever, obtained knowledge of the transac-
tion, and coming on him unawares at the
gate, gathered him in. He took the
newly-released prisoner TO his office and
announced to him his intention to have
him sent UP again on q charge of va
grancy. The prisoner wept and pleaded
with him not to do so, as his back was
already broken as badly as the stone he
had worked on, but the Sheriff was OBJ
durate. However, as he inadvertently (?)
turned his back for a moment, the pris-
oner, who was near the door, made dash
for liberty and escaped. 1t is safe to say.
however, that he will give the jail wide
berth for some time to come.

ACCIDENT TO A CHILD.
a Four Y ear-OId Boys Fall From a
Street Car.


Yesterday P. II. Donahue and fam
lily, who were visiting j. j. Donahue, the
formers brother, were on their way from
the City Cemetery in an electric car. when
a singular accident happened to their
four-year old boy.
The car was one of those with canvas
along the sides. The child got upon a
seat, and losing his balance fell between
the canvas and the side of the car before
he could be rescued. The motor-man
stopped the car almost instantly, and the
child WAS picked up in a badly bruised
condition.
The family were en- route East and had
just time to reach the overland train, in
which berths had been secured, so that
there was no time to consult physician.
1t was thought, however. that the little
boy was not seriously hurt. The officers
of the company very generously sent
word TO the parents at the depot that if
they should be put TO any expense for
medical aid or otherwise on account of
the accident the company would recon-
pense them therefor.

Regarding the Robbery Of a Railroad

CHICAGO. Nov. 1.-THE police tell a
queer story regarding the $40, 600 robbery
of Treasurer Drake of the Indiana, Illi-
nois and Iowa Railway. City Detective
Plunkett this afternoon said: "While
was questioning Drake he suddenly grew
very, and said he did not see why the city
police took SO much interest in the rob-
berry, for it did not concern the people at
large, and the matter might as well be
dropped, as the loss only affected his
father and himself. The case. L under
stand, has been turned over to the de-
tectives by General Drake"
The police are now devoting attention
to tracing up several stories regarding
young brakes past, and Assistant
Superintendent Kippley said this after
noon: I'VE shall not cease work
on this alleged robbery until
it has been established that actual robbers
did the job or not. The fact that the
loser does not care to prosecute the search
makes no difference with our duty"

Rev. Vail Reviews the Trial and
Its consequences.

Its Consequences.
Rev. W. s. Vail preached a serm Cd
yesterday touching the present condi-
tons of religious thought. taking for
text the words, 1--WE wait for light"
The Briggs case, said the preacher, is
one that has filled large space in the
newspapers for long time, and while
it lacked the dramatic features of the
action of Luther mailing his thesis to
the church door, or even of Wesley ap-
pearing before the multitude when the
revival spirit was sweeping England. it
was not less important. He admitted
that the time seemed very quiet. an d
that it did not seem at all possible to
get such motion into the public spirit OF
the day; but it was so in the political
life of the nation shortly before the
war; sluggishness of feeling suggested
to many people at home apd abroad the
theory that Northern men would not
fight at all, and just as this sentiment
was being fully believed a great army
sprang, completely equipped, marching
with banners to the fields of carnage;
and so (the speaker went on) it may be
that what means SluggiShnesS only
means preparation, and while we drift
along with popular Indifference, while
churches seem to be running into fash
iOnable clubs, while serious thought ap-
pears for the moment to be eclipSed,
possibly we are more nearly on the eve
of enlargement than we have been for
many years.

Destroyed by Fire and Again at
Work

The Price Baking Powder Company
og Chicago, which is known through
out the country for the superior excel
lence of its Baking Powder, met with
serious loss OH the morning of May 18th.
in the nearly total destruction by fire Of
it's factory and Offices. No sooner had
the flames been subdued than the work
of restoration commenced, and the COM
pany by prudent foresight, having had
stored in outside warehouses duplicate
machinery, labels and supplies of raw
materials in preparation for any emer-
gency, was enabled by energetic man-
agement to resume manufacturing
within very few days after the fire,
thereby causing its customers but a
trifling delay in the filling of their
orders. Had the Company not been so
prepared, the delay would have been
very serious, since it would have re-
quired months of time to get new ma
chinery.
1t is now forty years since the goods
manufactured by this company were
first placed Oh the market to DR.. Price

pared the first can of Cream of Tartar

arately, to say nothing of saleratus, with
which the biscuit of early days was en-
Uttered.
The Price Company has no connection
whatever with any other baking powder
company or manufacturer, notWitf-
standing representations to the contrary

designated as festival service, in

participated. The usual song service of
