A THIEF OF GENIUS.
He Impressed a Passing Team and Dis
tanced His Pursuers

James Connel, of Bangor, very seedy
looking citizen of the Queen City, caused
a great entertainment on Middle street
yesterday forenoon. 1t seems that in
wandering around Fore street yesterday
forenoon, Connel cast covetous eyes on a
pair of breeches in the shop of Nathan
Druker, at No. 459 Fore street. Watch
ing his opportunity, Connel snatched the
trousers and set off. Nathan D. at once
raised the hue and cry, and large crowd
at once started after Connel. They
chased him along Fore street and up
Cross street, and the foremost pursuers
were close upon his heels as he turned
up Middle street. It was at this point
that the genius Of Connel asserted itself.
A team was passing, and into this he
threw himself, telling the driver to whip
up. This the driver did, and Connel
was whirled rapidly away from his pur-
suers. Later in the day, however, Con-
mel wandered back to Cross street and
was captured by Deputy Marshal Ster-
ling. He had the trousers under his
coat

A Narrow Escape.

Dr.W E. Elwell of Togus, son of the
late E. H. Elwell of the Transcript, had a
narrow escape on his way from the
Worlds Fair. He was on special train,
loaded with Eastern people. They were
just leaving Hamilton Junction, Ontario
and had only acquired about half speed
when there was tremendous bump that
stopped the train and threw the passen-
gers from their seats. An incoming
train had crashed into them. The en-
gines were badly smashed and the front
car, smoker, was Uelescoped by the
next one, an ordinary day coach. Luck
lily there were but few people in these
cars and no one was seriously III
jured. The passengers were all in the
seven Pullman cars behind, which were
so crowded that the smoking rooms had
been appropriated for berths.
A few minutes later and that
would have been full of men, as it
was the dinner hour. But really the
safety of all the passengers depended
upon but one minute, for had the incom-
ing train arrived a minute later. or the
outgoing train started minute earlier.
it would have acquired full speed and
then more than one car would have been
telescoped
