the second reading of the deceased wife's

HORSES IN A BURNING CAR.

May Die.
PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-Ernest Will
liams, n groom, is now at the University
Hospital with broken leg, and seven
valuable horses at the stables of j. IL.
Garrett, Forty second and Aspen streets.
are suffering from serious injuries as a re-
suit of peculiar accident on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, near Bryn Mawr the de-
tails of which have just come 10 light.
The horses, including two well-known
trotters and two valuable stations. were
consigned to ]. w. Knox, Kirkwood Del,
being intended for training upon the kite
shaped track there. -Four Of the lot he
longed to Z. II. Hucke of Pittsburg being
shipped from that city, while the Others
were brought here from Terre Haute.
All went we'll until the train neared
Philadelphia, when the attendant dis.
covered that fire had broken out from
some unknown cause in the bales of hay
loaded in the same car with the valuable
animals.
After vain attempt to smother the
flames he found his own life in danger
and jumped from the train, breaking his
ankle by so doing. The train hands in
the meanwhile found out what was gong
on, and, coming to the rescue, succeeded
i'll putting out the fire by running the car
under water tank used for filling loco
motives and turning on the stream.
The horses were thoroughly drenched
with the cold water, which did them more
harm than the fire. The full list of horses
is as follows Lugano, trotter, record 2.2lE;
Aresa, a trotter, valued at $4,000; the geld
ing Robert McGregor, 2251, owned by
Frederick McGregor; q colt, Alcantara; a
stallion, out of Arteso, sister to Jay Bird,
valued at 5000; another stallion, by
Wilton, dam Northwood, value $500,
and Kentucky saddle horse, Belmont
tonia, valued at 81 900.
The last four named are owned by Mr..
Hucke and were taken ON at Pittsburg to-
gether with the gelding Robert McGregor.
The horses were all more or less singed
by the flames. Lugano stood nearest the
burning hay and his legs were badly
scorched. The drenching which they re-
ceived had more serious results, each ami
NAL contracting severe cold, the stallion
out Of Arteso being ill danger of death last
night.
The horses were all taken to the stables
| of j. II. Garrett, at Forty-second and
Aspen streets, where they received the best
medical treatment, owing to which they
were in comparatively good shape yester.
day, with the exception of the stallion,
which had an unusually high fever and
was still regarded in Il critical condition.
The first evidence of interest evinced by
the animal was yesterday afternoon, when
he was taken into the open air and per.
mitted TO eat snow, which seemed to satisfy
| his burning thirst. For the last three days
| he has refused ordinary food and been
kept alive upon a diet of eggs and brandy
The groom, Ernest Williams, was re
moved to the University Hospital, where
he is rapidly recovering from the effects Of
his injury.

Lynch went to Greenwood, yesterday, to

held, but which belonged, it is said, to
Burton Jones' by reason of Baynard's
non compliance with the terms of sale.
When Lynch arrived at the house he
met warmer reception than he antici.
pated. Baynards family expected him
and had their anger stirred 10 the highest
pitch. Lynch read the warrant to Baynard
and started towards the stable. Baynard
rushed into the house and grabbed gun,
but his wife, thinking her aim would be
more accurate took the gun from her irate
husband and leyeled 1t ut the debuty
sheriff, forbidding him to enter the
stable. Lynch not caring to meet
speedy death, walked towards the
woman who still held the cooked gun
pointed at his face, and told her he only
wanted to do his duty. Quick as flash
Baynard jumped to the, stable door as
Lynch left it, and locked the mules into
the stable. The deputy sheriff then or
dered the arrest of the two for resistance
and for aiming the deadly weapon at him.
The warrants for this arrest were made
out by Squire Satteriield, and when they
were demanded the news spread all over
the town.
Mrs. Baynard leaned the gun against a
tree and young man slipped around the
house and grabbed the weapon and de.
livered it to the deputy after an exciting
run across the yard, with the old lady in
hot pursuit.
The gun out of their possession the Bay
nards seemed subdued and the deputy took
the mules and delivered them to Jones.
Then he entered the house and with q
writ demanded that Baynard and wife ap-
pear before justice Of the peace to an.
swer to the charge of aiming the gun and
resisting an officer. Both refused to go. when
the deputy rushed towards Baynard in.
tending to tie him and thereby compel
him. With a rush he broke from the otli-
GERS grasp and grabbed kettle of scald-
ing water, daring any one to enter the
room. Pouring the hot water into bucket
that his aim could be more accurate he
held the crowd at bay. Baynard's daugh-
ter, who had been sick, tainted from the
excitement and fell to the floor. While her
mother endeavured to restore her daughter
the father stood in the adjoining room
with the bucket of hot water in his hand.
This kind of racket lasted for a half
hour or more. when hayward gave in and
concluded to accompany Lynch to Bridge
vile to be arraigned before Squire Wiley.
The Baynards are colored people and
previously were said to De very orderly.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March 5.-The

House again this morning, and taking
advantage of the Presidents absence,
sought to relieve him OF the cares of
State.
AT 0 o'clock, an hour before the
White House is open to the public, a
wild-eycd, bearded, commonly dressed
man, about so years old, appeared at
the entrance and told the Waterman
that he had come to take charge of the
house.
He said he had had a revelation from
God and had been directed to come
here, take charge of the White House
and turn it over to the Jews. The Dem
ocrats had to go out; the Republicans
could not get in, but the third party, to
which he belonged, would predominate'

very positive and insistent While he
was talking telephone call brought the
police patrol wagon to the door and the
man was arrested and locked up at the

He "Robbed the Bank" Said This High

That He Had Not Only Deceived His
Friends, But Left All Others in the
Lurch,

MINNEAPOLIS, MIMI, March 2.-The
details Of the gigantic bank robbery of
Minneapolis have come out in sensa-
tional sequence through three days
pumping of Phil Schcig, teller of tho
bank up to September Cd, 1892. In q
few years Schcig stole over $123,000.
Over $4,000 of this he embezzled
prior to January LIST, 1899. The bank
officials found his first theft out and
discharged him, but in few days re-
employed him at an increase of 1876
month. He resumed his stealing almost
the moment he resumed his place at the
teller's window, and in 20 months stole
$4,000 more. This drove Cashier Bof-
ferding, who was Scheig's constant
friend, to suicide. ....
Scheig is already serving q sentence of
seven years in Saltwater for his gigantic
theft, and the testimony he is giving is
in the case of Frank and Lou. Floyd,
his pals.
Asked if he robbed one depositor to
pay another, he said "No, l never

Scheig drew salary of $4,000 year.
The business public is already asking
how it was possible that some of the
bank officials did not discover the short
age of fortune and how the bank
could pay dividend. ...5
II is also asked how it came that the
bank made its report to the bank ex-
aminer after Scheig left, showing a
shortage in cash of only $4,000.
