Thrilling Adventure of Mr.. A. M.
Spear in His Southern Home.

cue.
Mr.. A. M, Spear, formerly of South Port
land, and at one time owner of the ferry
boat Cornelia H., is just now enjoying
local fame in Washington and adjacent
parts of Maryland for daring exploit
performed by him during the severe cold
snap about the middle of the present
month. Mr.. Spear has farm in Mary
land, few miles from Washington, aud
when the cold snap and snow came, the
roads were simply impossible. February
18th, Mr.. Spear decided to go to Wash
ington, SO he took Mr.. E. M. Downs.
neigh Dor, who lives near him at Mar
shall Hall, Maryland, and Potomac
fisherman, named George Arnold.
Harvesting Mr.. Spears horse into a
single open sleigh, the three started to
drive to Washington, on the frozen Po
tomac. Mr.. Downs, who has lived in that
region all his life, says such ride has
not been possible since 1856. The party
drove on to the river at Marshall Hall,
and got along at trot except for lit
tie trouble at Shepard's Point. At AL
exandria. Va, they attracted considera-
bic excitement, as the ice was known to
be broken in several places, and the
crowd who watched them from the
wharves expected to see them go through
a every step. The path Of TIE Hast
steamer which navigated the river before
the freeze, was piled on either side with
frozen wall three feet high. Mr.. Spear
he started to return his two companions
decided that they would rather 60 afoot.
They were not sorry afterwards, for Mr..
Spear met with a thrilling adventure,
and narrowly escaped drowning. He
had large bay horse, and drove over the
from the crowds of skaters. They
shouted and hurrahed to Mr.. Spear, who
smilingly waved his hand in return. He
kept on his course down the river, driv-
ing all the time almost directly over the
channel where tie ice was thinnest

Spear chung desperately to che edges of
the broken ice and shouted Justify for

struggled so fiercely that he broke loose
from the sleigh, and rising to the sur
| face managed to keep his head above
the water. The skaters rallied in large
mum bers. First, Mr.Spear was pulled
out, and then the horse was rescued.
The sleigh had by this time sunk to the
bottom of the river, but ropes and
chains were procured and it was fished
ont. Then the horse was harnessed.
Mr.. Spear stepped into the sleigh, took
the reins, thanked his rescuers, and
coolly resumed his journey home.

some time ago Mr.. George P. Norris, an
attorney of Washington, D. c., arrived
here and was admitted to the bar of the
supreme court. The gentleman made
many acquaintance and has daibbled in
several !.3 little side lines He originated

sent out that UP ON the Corbett-F.tzsim-

Well. the San Francisco Examiner of
Friday published the following dispatch
from Salt Lake City:

course OF Colonel Isaac Trumbo 'fof Cali

Utah. Another knight, unknown yet gal
tournament, and loudly issues his def
ance. Colonel George Pepper Norris, a
lawyer, originally from Philadelphia, but
tor the past seven years a resident of

About three months ago he reached this
city and ostenstbly engaged in promoting
naming, telegraph, irrigation and land"
enterprises.
But seven years of political schooling in
the capital of the nation renders such
avocations DUH to a gentleman of Mr..
Norris adventurous and nervous spirit.
1t caused him to fret and chafe Ike a
thoroughbred horse attached to a milk
wagon. According to his quick political
perception money appeared to be the only
filter by which Trunlbo could hope for
success. Money, Colonel Norris per-
ceived was within his own reach and on
Coils p. Huntington passed through
Ogden last week en- route to San Francis
CO. Colonel Norris went over to meet him.
He was acquainted with the railroad
magnate. Huntington received the as
pirant for Senatorial honors graciously.
A few days later the colonel drew on
Huntington. through Wells, targo's bank
for $4,000, payable On sight. The draft
came back unhonored but not protested.
An Examiner correspondent called up
on Colonel Norris today. AS preface,
the colonel stated that Huntington had

sentatives. However, the colonel. admit

ceive $4O, 800 or $4,000 by November l.
If the money came he would be cam

wanted nothing said about 1t in the news

A NEAT CAPTURE,
Sheriff Pope, of Uintah. Arrests an
Alleged HOrsethief.

Sheriff John Pope of Uintah county
yesterday afternoon arrested Clarence
Woodward, alias Henry Johnson, in
this city on warrant issued on a
complaint charging him with horse
stealing. 1t is alleged that Woodward
will have several charges to answer,
having, it is said, engaged quite extern
sively in stealing horses, saddles, har-
ness, etc.
The immediate charges against him
are stealing a bay horse from Charles
Augustin in August last, and also
stealing a saddle from another party.
The latter, it is said, he sold to Sher-
if Mcclellan of Tooele county, the
sheriff, of course, having no idea that
it was stolen. Sheriff Pope did not
think Woodward was in Salt Lake,
but accidentally met him on the street,
when he at once put him under arrest
and sprung the warrant from Uintah
county on him. Woodward denied his
identity and said the sheriff had made
a mistake. The officer, however, is
convinced he has the right man and
last night departed with him for Uin-
tab.

principles of prosperity as laid down
by Jefferson, and which Lincoln put
into operation.
Women of Utah: In presenting to

Catechism, 1 too, enjoin upon you to

Some of our Northern contemporaries,
says the Atlanta Constitution, are dis
cussing the resolution in favor Of reviv-
irg the tithing system which was adopted
by the Southern Baptist Convention last
week. The argument in the Convention
was that the Southern Baptists should be
as liberal as the ancient Jews, who were
REQUIRED to give one-tenth Of their in
come to religion. The Convention did
not seek to. make the tithing system
compulsory. It will be purely volun-
tary thing, and the average Southern
Baptist can use his own Judgment in the
matter. Ifhe does not favor the resolu-
tion or If he thinks that he cannot afford
to give one-tenth of his income to the
Lord he will act accordingly and nothing
will be said about it. All that the Con-
vention did was to recommend its con-
stituents to carry out the old tithing law
Of Moses. It is encouraging to see a
great religious body in this generation
taking such position, and while the
resolution may not be lived up to by the
great mass of the Southern Baptists, it
shows chat there is a disposition on the
part Of many In that church to devote q
large share Of their wealth to the spread
of Christianity and to the welfare Of their
fellows. The mere expression OF such a
spirit cannot fail to do good, and 1t is
quite likely that in the near future We
shall see the members of all churches
contributing more literally to the cause
Of Christ than they have done in the past.

School giyls and boys begin to look
forward to their approaching vacation
and the grad duating. class count the mo-
meats and hours until they will receive
that, coveted piece Of paper, the reward
for. years of study-their diploma. The
,wiss boy or girl in that class will not put
,sli thsir books on the shelf, and consider
that they know enough because they have
passed through the high school, The
discipline through which they have pass
ed, the powers they have developed,
makes them most susceptible to i'm
sprovement. The pretty, winsome, sweet
girl graduate two frequently thinks there
IS no need for future cultivation, but that
:she must now enter her, social career and
become a butterfly Of fashion. But she
wiz learn in the future that to all there
comes time Of decay; and age has not
90 many friends as youth. "Pity tbs, but
IT'S true" Beauty fades, but a mind
made strong by proper, vigorous e1er-
'cise, resists the ravages of time. It lie the
only connecting link between youth and
old age. It will bring love, sympathy
and respect. An hour spent each day in
some useful study or reading-with the
attention riveted upon the matter in hand
will do wonders toward keeping the
mind from stagnation. The languages,
sciences, literature, the artl'-all invite
the lover Of study, and those who WOO at
sither shrine are amply repaid.

I'm another column we publish the ad-

ted by the Reform administrations. It
was given to the Press agencies and tele-

think this country is big enough and
strong enough to fix its own money rate.
When T was quite young there was
good deal of talk in the country about
there being too much gold in the world,
and it was argued that the coinage OF gold
should be restricted. Because a man
brings silver to the mints it does not
follow that the government must coin it.
Let the government take as much as it
needs and reject the rest. When 1 was
in Congress from New Mexico coterie

$40 and putting out silver instead. Some
action similar to that is sure to be taken
