Cripple Creeks Wealth.

COLORADO SPRINGS: j. r. Mckinney,
bne of the first practical miners to enter
Cripple Creek and one who has made a
good fortune, said in speaking of the re-
cent boom in the Cripple Creek mines:
81 am positive that Cripple Creek will
next year produce $1S 100000. The values
will be more from the low grade ores,
though the extent of the rich ores already
discovered is astonishing. No one not as
familiar as am with the camp can under
stand the enormous yield in sight of gold
pres running under two ounces to the ton
that will pay handsome profit to the
mine owners. All stocks in companies
formed two or three years ago have per-
manent value, because they were honestly
organized and are honestly managed, but
Of the swarms of new companies have
nothing to say. The district may enlarge
in area, and these companies may develop
good mines. l am urging still more
close watch by the listing committees o!
all new companies. Many companies will

ing Deputy Sheriff Harold, has MESSED
to committing murders in Chicago, Cleve-
land, Kansas City and several other places.
His story is one Of a life of murder, bur-
glary, train and stage robbery and is a
startling confession.
Stone says he and his partner, William
Walrath, killed a man at Kansas City in
1883 and robbed him, but later gave the
money to Henry Donnelly, policeman,
for protection. He confesses to the mur-
der of Mrs. Stewart and her son, Clarence,
in Cleveland. The bodies were cut to
pieces and thrown into Lake Erie. He
says the following day he killed boy in
the Big Four yards in Linndale, Ohio.
In Buffalo he and Walrath and man
named Burns, saloonkeeper, killed a
wealthy western farmer, who was look
ing for good time. The money was di-
vided and Stone and Walrath returned to
Chicago and with their share started a
restaurant. Here Walrath married Stones
sister. Mrs. Walrath died and Stone and
Walrath left Chicago. Later Stone re-
turned and was implicated in the murder
of father and son named Prunty. Three
men are now said to be serving life sem
tences at Joliet for the crime, but Stone
was not arrested.
He then tells of a murder at Dunkirk,
N. j., where his side partner, Duffy, stab
bed pal named Buffalo Jack" four
times fatally and buried him in the woods.
Another murder was committed at I'm
ion City, Pa, the victim being an old man
named Horton, or Norton. Another mur-
der was committed by the trio near
Youngstown, O., the victim being res
dent of Ashtabula. The last murder
committed by Stone and Walrath was Oh

Society Girl in. Disgrace.

NEW YORK: A young woman who has
figured prominently in society in Rhine
beck, n. Y, is occupying the attention OF
the Society for the Prevention of Vice, be-
cause young man named Dodd, formerly
one of her admirers, has charged that she
gave him TO read poem and bit of prose
of alleged shocking tendencies.
he showed the manuscript to friend,
and in time the matter was turned over to
a printer, who is said to have written to a
15-year-old boy in Rhinebeck, offering
him the agency of proposed publication
which was to include the writings OF the
Rhinebeck belle.
The mother of this boy found the letter
and sent it to the Society for the Preven-
ton of Vice. When the case comes up in
court the young woman's name will be
given. She was educated in one of the
best known colleges for women in the
state. q While correct in grammar and

and two more were injured in railroad

Railway in Harlem. 1.-THE killed are:
Thomas Fitzgerald, engineer, IS years
old.
Frederick Naples, 40 years old. brake
man.
Thomas C. McNally, 40 years old, brake
man.
The injured are:
Thomas Bannon, conductor, cut and
scalded.
Thomas McKeon, fireman, cut and
scalded.
All of the killed and injured were resi-
dents of this city. The accident occurred
between One Hundred and Thirty second
and One Hundred and Thirty third
streets. The engine, with switching
crew. was bound east to VanneSt station,
when, without any warning, it left the
track and went humping along over the
ties. Bannon, the conductor, and Nc
Keon, the fireman. leaped for their lives
the moment the engine toppled over across
the westbound track before the others
of the crew were able to save themselves
from being crushed beneath the weight OF
the boiler.
All the bodies were crushed and scalded,
death evidently having been instan-
taneous. Fitzgerald's head protruded
through the window of the engine cab
and he was sitting on his seat at his duty
when the accident happened. No cause
for the accident could be learned, every
thing being in proper shape.

Strangely things sometimes happen
to change the whole course of life.
For instance: A plain, common, every
day printer, who had just returned to
his side of the country after the great
war of 1S01-65, seeking employment In
the "black art" that he had abandoned
four years before, to become soldier,
was In a steamboat explosion and came
down on his head from his blowing up,
striking in such way that his bumps
of humor and pathos, that lie so close
together, were so developed when he
picked himself out of a swath of dead
people lying on the river bank, that he
got ten thousand dollars damages, be-
came newspaper proprietor and grew
rich and famous from his writings and
1t all.
Joseph Thompson was one day borne
from the scene of western saloon
brawl, wounded and unconscious, to
hospital. 1t happened to be an Epis-
copal institution to which he was car
ried, and it was more like home than
hospital.
He had a long and hard tussle and
wrestle for life, but he came out of 1t
at last, subdued, refined as by fire,
changed altogether for the better. His
native intelligence assumed stronger
sway than it had ever gained before
and his heart turned to better things;
to home, and Julie, and religion. Dur
ing his long convalescence he had the
almost continual companionship of the
young rector who had charge of the
hospital chapel. Joe fitted himself,
easily, for confirmation in the church.
He had learned its catechism, creed,
litany and general services when boy
for jules sake; he studied for orders,
was ordained Us minister and was
given charge of western parish.
The time came when he longed to
preach in the chapel at Perley, and it
was on the Easter Sunday morning of
1898 that he did so. He arrived unan-
nounced at Perley the evening before.
John Micou had kept his promise
with Julie, as he always did with all
persons. She had carefully used his
carte blanche to prepare for the Easter
service the chapel that had grown to
be a church, and she wore to church
that morning the pretty and modest
bonnet that John had set his heart
upon her having, though it was not

natural Judgment against him. You
must have hit him pretty hard to make
him stay away SO long, and him so de-
voted, too"
Julie gave a sly little glance at her
big old brother and something in her
eyes that had the hint Of hunted
fawn passed over them. John, seeing
It, caught her In his arms, held her up
as II she were child and kissed her,
then sat down with her on his lap and
said:
~ think would go and hunt him up
ind slap him over If he were worth the
trouble. But he isn't, and never was,
and l wish you would quit thinking
about him, honey, for l know you al
ways are. I'm worth ten-acre field of
such as him and you've got me-"
For answer to this Julie turned her
face to her big brothers shoulder and
he said nothing more till she lifted her
tear-tinted cheeks and looked away,
trying to hide the weakness.
"Never mind, honey" John con-
tinued, "I'm going to give you carte
blanche to decorate the church. for
