told by Mesra that II she advanced step

vile we're held under guard from ten
O'Clock in the morning until afternoon
the following day. At the trial the
flimsy pre'ext was set mp that they
wanted to examine The hide OF the beef
Consrd was butchering. II seems that
there Is an old standing feud between
Meara aud Consrd and that Meara claims
that Conard has been killing his and
other mems cattle. Conard shows that
he had perfect right to kill all the cat
tie he has 30 far buichered. The defense
in this examination introduced no testi.
mony and Judge Redman held them over
to the grand jnry with bonds placed at

Preamble Whereas, it is a fact
that certain immoral, corrupt and

Whereas, it Is also we'll known

Whereas, Certain offices in the

political aims of individuals and
cliques.
Now, therefore we, the young

A BROOKLYN BOY IN IT.

He Commands the Chinese War Ship
Chen Yuep, Recently Captured
BROOKLYN, n. Y, Feb. S.-The
news OF the sinking OF the Chinese
ironclads Chen Yuen and Ting
Yuen was received in this city last
night. Especial interest attaches
to the fate Of the Chen Yuen, be-
cause OF the fact that her comman-
der, Philo McGiffin, was for years
a resident In this city. He has
many relations who reside here at
the present time. McGiffin was
graduate OF Annapolis, was known
as a fearless, dashing young man,
fond Of adventure but also fond OF
books. He became a little nettled
because some Of his associate Off
GERS secured ratings a trifle higher
at an examination, resigned from
the United States navy and enlist
ed in the Chinese navy, which was
then commanded by an English
officer, Admiral Lang. Rear Ad-
miral Erwin was especially fond OF
the young officer. He is said to
have been greatly disappointed
when McGitfin quit the United
States service.
M3Gitfin has written some letters
to relatives and friends in Brook
Ign, giving graphic accounts OF the
naval battles between the Chinese
and Japanese. News OF his fate
will be watched for with consider
able eagerness.

The best comedies are the ones
which handle the old things in a
new way. "Jane" was the first Of
the imported comedies to strike
the fancy OF American theatres,
and its popularity has not dimin-
ished with increasing years. The
play Is now in it's fifth season and
it has long and profitable life be-
fore it; good fun lives for ever. AS
the most felicitous result OF Eng
lish authorship in a comedy way,
it stands unique, so seldom Is it
that American audiences take to
English fun, but "Jane" is full to
running over with dialogue that
sparkles and situations that con-
vulse. The company Is capable Of
maintaining the breezy action OF
the performance and getting all OF
the humor out OF the text, besides
adding to 1t.

A THRILLING ESCAPE.
Erickson's Escape From a Burning
Shot Tower, $50 Feet From
the Ground


the Ground.
NEW YORK, February S.-A fire
started last night in the shot tower
OF Latham Brothers, $50 feet above
the street, and Frederick Erickson,
who found himself made pris-
Oner at that height by the flames,
had thrilling escape. Frank FOy,
superintendent of the shot room,
was with Erickson in the tower.
FOy descended the circular stair
way while Erickson went up to the
top floor for something. When he
reached the top of the tower an ex-
plosion occurred and sheet Of
flame shot up to the top Of the
tower. Fire checked Erickson's de-
scent by the stairway and he ran
to window, but started back ap.
palled. 1t meant instant death to
jump to the roof OF the main build
ing, so he once more steadied and
faced the fire. Steadying himself
for moment he sprang through
the flames to the landing below
him. He was unhurt and once
more leaped to the next floor. A
second time he landed safely.
On the next landing the flames
were thick, but the desperate man
never faltered. Below the next
floor he saw safety and once more
leaped for life. He landed in
mass of flames through which he
rushed madly and sprang down
the stairs with his clothes atire.
Help was waiting for him. Erick-
son was then carried down the ten
flights OF stairs to the street. The
men were passed on the way by a
procet sion Of firemen who climbed
the ascent dragging with them a
line Of hose that had to be length
ened at every landing. 1t was
found that the fire was caused by
the explosion Of an oil furnace in
which the lead for shot is melted.
1t is said that Erickson's condition
is serious. The loss to the proprie-
tors OF the tower will only amount
to couple Of thousand dollars.
