An Engllshman Who Adopted the Religion
 ol the Ifindoos.
 A singular case of European turn ing fallir, or Hindoo holy man-and that in the most European station in India was lately bf5ught to light, says the Pal Mall Gazette At Bishop Cotton school, at Siula. there was once an English boy named Charles d4 Reus- selte. He got into some boyish scrape. and, to avoid the consequences, ab. seconded search proved abortive, and nothing more was heard of the fugi- tive. It appears now that he had wan dered no farther away than Mount TakLho, just above. There he had taken refuge with the falxir of a native temple. He became first the holy mans acolyte nnd eventually his successor. His identity with the runaway school boy was entirely lost, and the sanctity of his life made him an exceedingly in. husntial parsonage. Meantime, Charles de Reusselte had become entitled to large fortune, and was being adver- tised and sought for far and wide without success. One day corre- spondeut of the Lucknow Gazette, who chanced to be at Simla, fell in with the fal1ir, and either discovered his secret or had it communicated Co him. But the heir manifested no desire to claim his inheritance. On the contrary, he assured the correspondent that he should never revert to the religion of his fathers, nor ever return to ciyiliza- ton. He was quite happy where lie was,

A prisoner in India recently, ou be- ing released, revenged himself oh the assistant commissioner who had sem teneed him by cutting off one-half of his mustache while he was sleeping out of doors on hot night. It was then found that there was no way of punishing him under the penal code. for, while cutting the hair of a native is punishable as dishonoring the per son, there is no such provision for Englishmen, and the bodily harm done was too slight to be considered an offcnse.

RIVER STEAMER SUNK.
The Ohio Strikes n Snag and Settles
In TMenty-Fiye Feet of Wnter.


in Twenty-Five Feet of Water.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Feb. 1S.-The total loss
of the steamer Ohio is announced, the acci-
dent having occurred at Cottonwood Port,
40 miles above here. The news was brought
here after dark tonight by the steamer
Gayoso. Captain Joplin. which boat passed
the sunken vessel near dark on Saturday,
shortly after the accident, on her voyage
from Cairo to Memphis. While backing out
from the landing at Cottonwood Point, the
Ohio hung fast on a snag or cypress log,
which punctured a hole in her hull and
caused her to settle with the stern in twen-
ty-five feet of water. and her bow still hung
fast and above the water level The passen-
gers and crew were all out on Shore when
the Gayoso came by, and they awaited the
arrival of the Ferd Herold from this port,
on which they expected to take passage
from Cairo The Herold left here about 8
o'clock this morning, and was due at Cot
tonwood Point some time tonight.
The Ohio had on board as freight some
GAS bales of Memphis cotton, chiefly slowed
in the hold; also, lot of hides, scrap iron
and sundries. She left here near dark Fri
day last, and was nearly twenty-four hours
out when the accident happened. Pilot
John Carroll, of the lost steamer, came TO
this city on the Gayoso and left by rail for
Cincinnati tonight. The second clerk also
come down on the Gayoso, but the remain
der of the crew await the Herold. The OBJ
struction by which the Ohio was destroyed
is cypress log or stump which had recent
ly caved' off, and the vessei was an hour
in sinking. All the passengers and crew are
safe but it Is not believed the sunken craft
can be raised. She is reported to be in
sured in Cincinnati for $4,000.
The Ohio was commanded by Captain
John Newton, with Mr. Werhman as clerk
The vessel has been regular packet of
the Memphis and Ohio Company, between
Cincinnati and Memphis for ten years. She
was formerly the steamer Clifton, but was
sunk, afterward raised and her name
changed. She has met with several disas-
ters, once having broken a shaft near the
same place where she now lies, and at an
other time she was cut through by the ice
while lying at the elevator here. Upon
another occasion she was saved by being
run over on a sand bar opposite the city,
where the hole was stopped. 1t is expected
fore it can be got out of the sunken craft.

HURRAH FOR CHICAGO
Outraged Citizens Pitched Snow
Banks Back on the Tracks.
After Which They Proceed to Black the
Eyes Of Railroad officials Who
Came to Interfere.

CHICAGO, Feb. 1s-The deep snow left
by the blizzard of last Monday has pro-
voked frequent collisions between the en-
ployes Of the street-car companies and resi-
dents on the streets on which cars are rum
The scrapers and snow plows of the COM
panies have thrown up high banks Of snow
IN front Of the buildings, which makes it
difficult in many places for residents to use
the streets at all. They resented this in
several instances by throwing the snow
back the track. Gangs of employees
called to shovel off the snow were met
with vigorous measures. Late yesterday af-
ternoon there was lively row on Ashland
boulevard, and Superinte ndent Neagle, Of
the West Chicago street railway, was badly
injured. The crowd was making it very
warm for Division Superintendent Shabuck
having knocked him down and thrown him
into a snow bank, when his cries brought a
number of the street-car employees to the
scene. Superintendent Nagle was among
the first. He forced his way through the
crowd and was compelled to resort to the
use of his fists in order TO get to where
Shabuck was struggling with his assailants.
When he neared the struggling man Some
one struck him a stunning blow on the
head which nearly caused him to fall to the
grouad As he tried to force his way
through again a young fellow rushed on
him with a clasp knife and cut him badly
in the face. The fight died out after Nagle
was hurt, and when the police arrived there
was nothing for them to do but go back
again

KOLASINSKI RECANTS.
The Detroit Catholic Priest Disciplined
and Forgiven by the Church.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 1S.-Father Ko-
lasinski, the Polish Catholic priest, who
has been famous for his insubordination
for five years past, made his apology to the
church to-day, in the presence Of Mgr.
Sbarretti, auditor to Mgr. Satolli, and an
immense congregation. The retraction,
however, was read in almost inaudible
voice, although Mgr. Sbarretti repeatedly
urged Kolasinski to speak louder. Being
read in this manner Immediately after
powerful sermon by Father Kolasinski, his
retraction was not particularly effective,
and the priests Polish followers seemed to
regard it a secondary matter after all.
However, there was considerable rejoicing
at the reconciliation, and Mgr. Sbarretd
returned to Washington tonight, his mis-
sion having been accomplished The grand
church will be rededicated later, and
will be decided to Bishop Foley after it's
debts are paid. Another condition of Ko-
lasnski's reinstatement was his doing pen
ance for a week, which was done in Chi
cago last week. Many Catholics doubt his
sincerity
