ment.
Overly is free man. Where he
now is no one knows. He was re-
leased from custody in Waco Tues.
day night and given a home by Mr..
Blanchard, a prominent man OF
Waco. The reason for this action
is not exactly known, for the Off
GERS at Waco received a telegram
from the San Antonio authorities
to hold Overly until called for.
These instructions were, however,
not carried out by the Waco au-
thorities, and therefore no blame
can be attached to the San
Antonio end of it. Overly has a
very pretty woman with him, who
claims him as her husband, and it
is said she has gained the admira-
ton of the Waco mayor and seve-
raj other prominent WacOites. 1t
is even said that prominent man
Of Waco, known as Major Hinch-
man, had secured a position as
typewriter for the lady and had
about arranged to locate her in the
Geyser City.
Constable McCloskey was the
first to learn that Overly was in
Waco. He received a telegram
stating that Overly was at the
Missouri, Kansas and Texas hotel,
and referred the matter to Sheriff
Campbell, who telegraphed to the
city marshal Of Waco to arrest
Overly and hold him. The sheriff
Of McLennan was not notified be-
cause it was not known here who
occupied that Office since the last
election. 1t is learned now, how
ever, that Sheriff Burke's successor
is Sheriff Baker. Deputy Sheriff
Schreiner says that he learns
that the pretty young lady
naturally did everything she
could for Overly, for it is said she
loves him dearly, and spared no
amount of words to have him set
free. She told the mayor that
Overly is wanted in San Antonio,
merely accused of having stolen a
carpet from the Alamo flats.
When Deputy Schreiner arrived
at Waco he was told that the city
marshal had released Overly. Mr..
Schreiner claims that the city
authorities of Waco would not as.
sist him in any manner in locating
Overly and he then went to Sheriff
Baker. This gentleman, with his
deputies, gave the BeXar county
official all the assistance required
and they finally succeeded in To-
eating Overly in the residence of
Mr.. Blanchard, where, it is said, he
was in hiding. Overly soon dis
covered that the officers were after
him and leaped out of a second
story window and made his escape.
All that the officers got of him was
a hat and coat.

BAPTIZED IN ICE WATER.
Two Jealous Women WHO Knelt in
Freezing Stream.

a Freezing stream.
Philadelphia Press.
LANCASTER, Pa, Feb. 22.-The
rigors of the weather have no ter
ror for those pious religionists, the
Dunkards, as was demonstrated by
the immersion of two women in
the icy waters Of Conestoga creek
at Earlville today. A great crowd
of spectators watched the proceed
ings from the banks of the stream,
some attracted simply by curiosity
and others viewing the ceremony
with all the solemnity that at
taches to the rites Of this queer and
deeply religious sect. The weather
was extremely cold, and many in
the great throng upon the bank
were bundled up in blankets and
went stamping about to keep
warm. The creek was frozen over
and covered with snow. The inn
mersion was preceded by re-
ligious service at the meeting
house at VOganville, a few miles
distant. After the arrival Of the
preacher, the congregation aud a
great array OF strangers, all in
sleighs, several stout deacons with
shovels and axes cleared the snow
for a considerable space and then
cut a good-siZed hole in the ice,
which was several inches thick.
The hole was cut ten yards from
she shore, where the water was
waist deep.
First the preacher, Rev. John
-Graybill, boldly waded into the
freezing pool and motioned to a
good brother on the bank that he
was ready. The brother, warmly
muffied up and wearing huge
broa d-brimmed hat, led a woman,
Miss Graft, shivering, to the bank
of the stream, where she was re-
ceived by the preacher. She wore
a loose wooden gown, and discarded
her heavy wrappings as she was
about to receive her icy plunge.
A circle of the brethren was formed
around the pool, all stand
ing with barred heads, while cold
northwest wind blew a gale. Rev.
Graybill offered a prayer in Penn
sylvania German while he and the
girl stood waist deep in the freez-
ing water. The preacher asked
some questions, to which the young
woman avouched her religious
claims, while her teeth chartered
painfully. Then Rev. Graybill
dashed several haudtuls Of cold
water over Miss CRAFTS head, neck
and shoulders, and those portions
of her body not covered by the
stream.
Then he asked her some more
questions, and the climax was
reached when the preacher pro-
nounced the formula: Gill namen
der dreinichte, Fader, Sohn and
Heilichein Ghost" plunging the
head of the young woman under
the water at each motion, was for
ward and now backward, as in
the usual Baptist immersion. Then,
while Miss Graft knelt, the water
reaching nearly, to her chin,
Rev. Grayhill prayed that her
name might be written in the
Book of Life. The ceremony occu-
pied nearly five minutes, and when
the young woman was led from
the water, her face was blue and
her frame shook with cold. She
was hurried to farm house close
by, where a complete change Of
apparel awaited her.
Exactly the same form was OBJ
served in the immersion of the
second candidate, Mrs. Lizzie
Stump. Both young women live
at Barevilie, and are daughters Of
Dunkard parents.

The entertainment committee of the
Augusta board of trade, composed of j..
Frank Pierce, Hon. p. 0. Vickery and
c. B. Murphy, together with President
Bangs, Secretary Little and Treasurer
T. J. Lynch are giving their attention
to the proposed banquet which the board
will hold in the very near future
The secretary has long list of names
of young men whom he will soon call up
on with the view of having them join the
board. 1t has been agreed upon that
every young man who will sign the by
laws shall have his dues abated for the
ensuing year. The members of the board
who seem the most interested in the work
of this organization feel that the mem
bership should be largely increased.
Some of the most active members be-
lieye that the banquet proposed will be an
incentive to increase the interest in the
hoard of trade. 1t will be remembered
that the board of this city entertained thu

Something About the Lumber Business.

There was meeting in this city, Fri
day, of the Kennebec Lumber Manufac
turers Association and among those pre-
sent were: M. G. Shaw, Charles Fogg
j. M. Fogg,G. A. Phillips, f. NJ. Totman
S. A. Nye, Charles Lawrence, H. W
Jewett, +. J. Lawrence, NJ P Milliken, I. H
Randall and S. S. Randall. E. J. Lawrence
acted as chairman of the meeting and S
S. Randall as clerk. The members con
sidered the lumber market and in gen
eral way discussed the outlook, which
seems quite favorable for them.
The directors of the Kennebec Log
Driving Association have decided to let
the drive to Colby & Preble, to and ovel
the dam at Skowhegan for 23 cents pei
thousand, and the drive on the East
Branch to George Webb for six cents pei
thousand.
Many of the mills along the river are
in need of logs and it is possible that this
will be a good year for the lumber in
terests on the Kennebec. 1t is hoped that
the streams may soon open so that the
drives may be started before the snow in
the woods is all gone. The water in the
Kennebec is quite low for this time of
year and it is feared that there may be
some difficulty in getting the logs down.

Ups and Downs Of life."

Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Byron, who have
been seen by Augusta people before and
who made such favorable impression
will again appear at the Opera house on
Thursday evening, April IL, in their new
melodrama, cups and Downs of Life, a
play of intense interest, from beginning
TO end and which everybody who enjoys
fine acting should not fail to witness.
The piece is plentifully punctuated
with comedy, which is supplied by Kate
Byron as Judkins, a servant girl, and
Fred Warren as Smith, q grocer's clerk.
Judkin's masquerades as a duchess and
Smith pretends to be an English lord.
It is the witticisms of this pair that
brighten and enliven the play and give to
it an even balance of light and shade. In
the role of Vivian Ransome Oliver Byron
is said to be exceptionally well cast, and
his wife, Kate Byron, has been highly
commended for her rollicking imperson-
alton of Judkins. The company includes
such painstaking players as Fred Warren,
r. Fulton Russell, j. l.. Mason, Spottis
woode Aitken, Charles J. Young, Flor
ence Stone Alice Warren and others.

The DEAD MANS HAT.
Unraveling the Mystery OF GaIagher's
Death at the North End.

The cause OF Patrick Gallagher's death
may soon be solved. The police are at
work upon tho case, and Captain Baker
thinks that while murderous intent may
not be shown, there might have been q
row and blows struck. 1t could not
have been noisy row, however,
and no iron pipes, billies, or
sandbags were used. Detective Reardon
is a frequent visitor at the North End, and
he may soon have something TO say about
the case. IL is understood that man is
missing who could throw some light upon
the matter, and 1t is not unlikely
that he will be brought TO Providence
presently. All the talk about the hat
found near Gallagher not belonging to
him il considered nonsense. Mrs.
Gallagher told Captain Baker again
this morning that that Is her dead hus-
bands hat and she showed another she
has I'm the house which is the counterpart
of IL as regards size, style,
and everything else. Gallagber's bats
always sat high on his head. Cap
tain Baker will ask Medical Examiner
Palmer this question: "Would either OF
Gallagher's injuries have caused instant
death?" II the reply is equivocal
or in the negative, IL may be shown that
Gallagher was not dragged" TO where he
was found, but carried himself there.
