Records Which Show That 1t Antednted
FultOn's Product by Twenty-twO Years.
The records of jefferson county, w.
Va, prove what IS not generally known
that Robert Fulton was not the first
man to build steamboat i'll this coUn-
try. He was anticipated over % years
by James Rumsey of Charleston, Va
now West Virginia. Rumsev's steam
boat was partly constructed i'll Frederick
county, Nd, III 1885. 1t was fitted mp
with machinery partly manufactured ut
a furnace called 1.-The Cococtin Fur
mace, owned by johnson Brothers, and
located near the town of Frederick.
The two cylinders, the boiler, pumps,
pipes, etc, were built in Baltimore.
Part of the work was done at the old
Antietam lion works Rumsey's boat
was so feet in length, ard it was pro
PEELED by an engine which worked n
vertical pump placed i'll the center Of the
vessel The water was drawn III at the
bow and forced out at the stern through
horizontal pipe. The entire weight Of
the machinery was Go pounds, and
the tonnage of tho vessel was three tons.
The entire machinery, including the
boiler, etc, took up space of very lit
tie over 4 feet square
The first public experiment took place
on the Potomac river ON March Il, 17S6,
when the boat showed a speed of four
miles an hour up stream. The records of
Jefferson county also show that George
Washington and Governor Thomas John
son Of Maryland were among the pat
rons Of Rumsey, and that the experiment
was made in the interest of the then
proposed Chesapeake and Ohio canal -

He Could BE Indifferent.

1t isn't every man that owns 4 silk
hat, but it is the dream of every very
young mans life to possess one. A
young man in our end of town went to
the matinee with the only girl he ever
really loved, and he wore a silk hat.
He put it under the seat carefully, and
the next person who came i'll gave it Il
kick that practically ruined it. Most
young fellows would have had fit right
there, but this one said nothing at all
he was so philosophical that the girl
was charmed. As they came ont Of the
theater they met another young man,
and the three went to get some soda
water. The girl told about the young
mans hat, and how philosophical he

''Why, do you know, Jack, - she said,

The following is a story Of Abraham
Lincoln which, if it is lot truc--a, il

was once riding along lo,ely ra-d
when an i'll looking man. who held a

''What do you want, my fricndy''
Lincoln asked.

the man.
''Well, " said Lincoln, 81 don't mind
being killed, but should like To know
your reasons.
Il once vowed, said the man. "taat

Chair Of the Giant IdrIs.

One Of the mountain peaks of north
Wales is known as the Chair Of Idris, or
Cader Idris, as the Welsh people call it,
because its top is followed out like an
immense couch. According to local ira

Chair of Idris will, ON the following
morning, be dead, raving mad or en-
dowed with the loftiest poetical inSpira-

IdTis was or when he lived, but he must

Dixon Got the DeoI,iop.

Boston, Aug. 2S.-George Dixon, the
colored lightweight boxer of Boston, was
given the decision last evening over
Johnny Griffin, the "Braintree Lad, at
the end of a twenty, five round match held
under the auspices of the Farragut club,
in the Newton street armory. The decision
was a surprise to the majority of the 8, 900
people present. it having been generally
understood that there was to be no deci-
sion If both men were on their feet at the
end of the twenty-ffth round, unless, per-
haps, there should be decided difference
in the condition of the boxers Both men
were certainly in very good condition at
the end of the twenty fifth round, al
though Dixon had done the better work of
the two. Griffin surprised his friends by
the game manner in which he took
Dixon S punishment and they confidently
expected a draw

CITY OF MEXICO, Aug 2S.-Sclentists
are greatly interested in phenomena oc-
curing at the town of Pinetop, state of
Onanaca, where since Nov. of last year
not day has passed without an earth
quake shock. People have abandoned
their stone houses, and are living in huts
made of wood and mating. Great alarm
prevails, for each daily shock is preceded
by ominous roarings under the sea, which
is only twelve miles distant. There is
observable at various points in southern
Mexico much seismic activity, and the
subterranean roaring at Tehuacan, state
of Puebla, and recurring shocks of earth
quake make it seem probable that an
other volcano is forming.

DETROIT, Aug 2S,-A sensation was
created at the Windsor track yesterday
The well known horseman, Frank Ire

(starter Caldwell's assistant) for whipping
the boy on Hanban while the horses were
at the post. Caldwell took up the quarrel
and stepped out of the stand. He and
Ireland clinched and exchanged several
blows. The executive committee, after
the race, promptly cancelled their engage
ment with Caldwell and fined Ireland

The Trunk i'm Which the Body Was Prob
ably Removed Also Unearthed -- The
Boys Body Had Been Partially Destroyed
by Fire, but Convicting Bones Remain.
will claim the right to try H. II. Holmes
for murder. This claim will be based
upon the horrible developments of yester
day which include the finding of the
charred remains of 0year-old Howard
Pitezel, and evidence which should con,
vict H. II. Holmes of having murdered
him and then partially burned his body
in his stove. Detectives Geyer of Phila-
delphia, Richards of indianapolis and In
spector Gary of the Fidelity Insurance
company have been at work for weeks
hunting for traces of the boys body. He
was traced here with Holmes and disap-
peared.
The city was secured and work began in
the suburbs hunting for a house rented
by Holmes on Oct. TO- II or IL of last year.
Yesterday morning the detectives went
to Covington suburb of the city, and
the seat of Butler college, and before they
had been at work an hour their attention
was called by local real estate dealer to
woods at the edge of town, and far from
any other dwelling. The party went to
the house, and few minutes later the of
flcers found beneath the side porch the
missing trunk which was taken from the
side door of the Circle House in this city
on Oct. 10 by II. H. Holiness and which
was thought to contain the body of the
boy. In a barn connected with the house
was large stove of cylindrical shape, of
the same pattern as Holmes bought in
Cincinnati
Late last evening DR.. J. F. Barnhill's s
attention was called by small boy
named Walter Jenny to the stove hole
where the stove had been. 1t was filled
with refuse. This was pulled out and the
remains of the boy were found. Physi-
clans and dentists were there, and in this
pile of refuse hundreds of pieces of char
red bones were found. The teeth showed
that the body was that of boy between
8 and 10 years of age, and all the other
bones confirmed this All were charred
and pieces of flesh clung to some of them.
The skull bones and pelvis added to the
same convincing truth.
The boy had evidently been burned in
coal fire in the huge stove found in the
barn. Howard's overcoat was found at a
grocery store near by, where Holmes had
left it, saying the boy would call for it.
He never came. Owners of the house
recognized Holmes from the pictures
shown them All identify him as the
man who, last October, rented the house
with the same story he told in Toronto
and other places, came with the boy and
and the big stove, wash stand and bed
stayed two days, and then disappeared.
Several people have identified him, and
all doubt is removed.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-Minnie Williams
was never at the Presbyterian hospital,
as claimed by H. H. Holmes in his recent
statement. DR.. Stamer, of the hospital
medical staff, said: II have read Holmes
statement. 1t is absolutely untrue that
Minnie Williams was patient at this
hospital in 1898 or at any time. Holmes
story is false on the face of it, He says
that the Williams woman was admitted
to this institution when suffering from
acute mania. We never receive any
patient mentally afflicted.
