In 1879 James Adams of York beca1aA
affronted with one of his neighbors, Henry
Simpson, and determined to avenge him
self upon two of Simpson S children, whose
ages were 6 and 9 years. In solitary
place four or five miles from the dwelling
houses of the inhabitants he built of logs
beside ledge of perpendicular rocks pen
or pound several feet high, with walls in
clined inward from bottom to top. After
he had built this he decoyed the children
into the woods, under pretense of search
ing for birds nests, and caused them to
enter within the pound, where he left them
confined to perish. The place has since
been called the DEVILS Invention.
The children were soon missed, and the
alarmed inhabitants searched for them
more than 48 hours. The boys, when
aware of their wretched situation, made
various attempts to get out, and at length,
by digging away with their hands the sur
face of the earth underneath one of the
bottom logs, effected their escape. They
wandered in the woods three days, being
at last attracted to the seashore by the
noise of the surf, where they were found.
The depraved criminal was condemned
to have 80 stripes well laid on, to pay the
father of the children 95, the treasurer
210, besides fees and charges of the prison,
courts pleasure or till further order. The
same month he recognized before two of
the associates, conditioned to send him,
within 81 days, out of the jurisdiction. -

Guatemala Must Back Down IL War II

fs Temporarily FiIled-Tartar Chief
Offers to Assist the Japanese.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2y.-War between
Guatemala and Mexico seems lnevita-
BILE. Guatemala can only prevent it
by complying with the demands of
Mexico and this it is apparently un-
willing to do. Mexico will not arbi-
trate. The efforts at mediation by the
United States have failed. From abso-
lutely reliable authority it is said
Mexico has politely but most positively
declined to entertain the suggestion of
the United States state department. that
the difficulty be submitted to arbitra-
ton.
CITY OF MEXICO, JAM 29.-Thc situa-
ton on the Guatemala affair is un-
changed. Both Mexico and Guate-
mala are still going on with their war
preparations, and prominent Mexicans
think the outlook is gloomy, indeed,
for peace, unless Guatemala recedes
from the bold stand it has taken.

items OF GENERAL news

The rails on the Vandalia road near
Coatesville, Ind, spread and wrecked
a passenger train which was running
fast to make up lost time. Several
cars were thrown from the track, and
two people were killed and thirty-two
injured.
The Brooklyn strike is practically
lost and it is probable that it will soon
be declared off. Numerous applications
are being made by strikers for re-
instatement.
The United States has offered her
services as mediator between Mexico
and Guatemala, and it is possible war
may yet be averted.
Lord Randolph Churchill, the English
statesman, died at his home in London
on the ED. He suffered a stroke OF
paralysis few weeks ago, since which
time he has been gradually weakening.
Mexico and Guatemala are about to
go to war over boundary dispute.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Jan. 29.-The
Milwaukee millers held meeting Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose
of forming a company which
shall control the -four output of this
city by bringing all of the mills under
one management. The following bills
are said to be included in the combi-
nation: Faist, Kraus & Co., B..
Stern & Son, Daisy Roller mills, E..
Sanderson Milling company, and c..
Manegold & Son. The total capacity
of these mills is about $1,000 barrels
daily. The millers for some time had
an agreement. but it is thought a
single company operating the mills
will cheaper the cost of production.

Pleads for Her Husband Who Risked
His Life for Her

NEW YORK. Jan. 29.-Everythlng
was comparatively quiet in Brooklyn
yesterday and soldering was a play
occupation. The companies got back
to the number of lines they operated
Friday-twenty-six which is two
more than were moving cars Satur-
day, two having been temporarily OBJ
structed. Greenpoint strikers did
some stone throwing and they were
wires cut in the Twenty-slxth ward.
A pathetic incident occurred on the
opening of the Cypress Hills line. The
crowd mounted the platform of car
and attempted to drag off the motor
man. He showed fight and was badly
beaten. He was rescued by his wife
who pleaded with the mob.
1t was reported that all the knights
of Labor in Brooklyn would go out on
strike, but no credence can be put in
the rumor. The saloons throughout
Brooklyn were kept tightly closed yes
terday in obedience to special order
issued by Mayor Schieren.

Blizzard in New York.

SARNAC LAKE, N. Y, Jan. 29.-The
blizzard yesterday assumed the pro-
portions of hurricane. The wind
has piled the snow everywhere in huge
drifts and the highways are impass-
able. No trains have arrived here
since Saturday evening and the rail
road companies have not attempted to
run a train out. Railroad officials say,
even should the storm cease, the trains
will not run until tonight or the fol-
lowing morning, as the snow is piled
along the tracks in the Adirondacks,
where the distances between places
are great. Many travellers are snow
bound in the woods.

KEPT POSTAGE DUES.
Clerk Mitchell of San Francisco Is
Charged with Theft.


Charged with Theft.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Jan. ga de-
falcation has been discovered in the
postoffice. Recently Postmaster McCop-
pin became suspicious that all was not
right in the newspaper depart
ment and he employed an expert to ex.
anime the books. The discovery was
made that NJ. Mitchell, the accountant,
was short considerable amount. The
deficit is certainly $500 and may reach
several hundred dollars more. Mitchell
admitted his guilt. 1t is Mitchell's
duty to receive from the newspapers
the prepayment of postage and instead
of turning over the full amount to the
cashier he diverted portions of the
money to his own use and then sought
to hide his operations by manipula-
tions of his books
