There were rumors yesterday OF
deal between the management OF the
Wheeling and Fort Wayne teams
whereby Thurston was to be traded Ior
Rickert. There was no trade, Dut
Rickert was released to Tebeau's club,
and will hereafter play in left field. II
is not settled who Will play regularly,
at second. The management signed
ousfelder Robinson ITO take the place OF
Rickert. This is a good change. so
far as fielding is concerned Rickert is
the peer of any player in any league
but he has been lamentably weak at
the bat. Robinson played with kenton
last season, and this year with the
Dallas. Texas, team. He was the irst
man to knock home run drive over the
fence in the old ball park last year.
Robinson arrived in the city last night

man A. l.. Durham of Northampton

plots to swindle insurance companies,
partly carried out by Clarence y.
Warner, formerly professor of math-

According to the story, Warner be-

when property of his in Amherst and
elsewhere, heavily insured. was burned
under somewhat peculiar circum-
stances.
In June. 1891, Warner was insured in
the Travellers Insurance Co. of Hart
ford and drew $3.50 during the first IS
months for time lost on account of in
jures. He removed to st. Louis,
where he associated himself with A. W.
Wright, and the two sold cheap Penn

tate and part cash. 1t is asserted that
they made a great deal of money from
these transactions.
Last October he insured himself
heavily against accident in several st.
Louis companies, it is claimed.

companies, it is alleged. suspected him
and a detective was detailed to watch
him.
Warner is said to have taken the de-
tective into his confidence. the result
being that he vas caught. The in
surance company made him sign a
paper releasing it from payment ana

Monroe Doctrine in New Light.

Judge Thomas N. Welch, of Caro-
lima County, Virginia, recalls new
phase of the Monroe doctrine, the de-
tails of which he had from the lips of
James w. Saunders, who about fifty
years ago was a leading lawyer and
politician of Charlottesville, Va.
Mr.. Saunders said that when he was
young lawyer, Mr.. Monroe, who had
already been President, lived on his
farm in Albemarle County, about seven
miles from Charlottesville. A person
in New York sent Mr.. Saunders for
collection a bond of $500, due from
Mr.. Monroe. After consulting with
some of his friends he started to call
on the ex-President to present the
claim. Accordingly, he rode to the
residence of Mr.. Monroe and found
him at home. He was received in the
most courteous manner, conducted to
the parlor, and a mint julep was
brought in.
Mr.. Monroe's conversation was
bright and instructive. Presently Mr..
Saunders was invited to partake of an
excellent breakfast, after which he
went with Mr.. Monroe to his office,
where q good cigar was enjoyed.
Finally, he informed Mr.. Monroe of
the object of his visit. This he did as
politely as possible, adding the cred
itor desired immediate payment.
Mr.. Monroe listen attentively, then
arose suddenly from his chair. went to
desk, took out two duelling pistols,
and said
"Here are two duelling pistols,
which 1 purchased in France This voice
trembling with anger), and now, sir,
you can take your choice, and down
there in that grove we can each settle
this matter"
The invitation was declined. and Mr..
Saunders left without an invitation
from Mr.. Monroe to repeat the visit.

Mrs. John II. Miller, of this city, has
invented wonderful fireman's cap.
Mr.. Miller put on the cap and entered
smokehouse SO donsely filled with
smoke that it was impossible to go
near the door without protection, and
thcre remained 35 minutes, with no
possible chance of getting air from the
outside. A fireman connected with
No. rs company entered the smoke
house without the contrivance and re-
mained seconds before coming into
the fresh air, half suffocated and gasp
ing for breath. 1t was then that Mr..
Miller tried tho invention, and it
worked like charm.
The cap is made of fine strips of as
bestos conformed to the shape of the
head. It is held fast in place by a
rubber band, making it air-tight. Its
weight is only sixteen ounces. and it
is so constructed as to enable person
to carry it on the arm without incon-
venience. There is strip of mica be-
fore the eyes, SO no Inconvenience is
suffered in this respect. A silk sponge,
through which no smoke can enter,
but which permits the ingress of air in
plentiful quantities, fills an aperture
for the mouth, and when properly ad-
justed the cap is SO simple that its
efficacy is apparent at glance.
When it is understood that firemen
are unable to remain in o smoking
building longer than three or four
minutes at a time, an invention of this
character, which enables man to
grope about in sitting atmosphere
for an hour, certainly reduces chances
of losing life through suffocation to a
minimum.-Syracuse IN. Y.), Stand

and the hot air was thick with sitting
haze of dust. The mighty Flinders,

the distance, with pillars of hot dust
Thousand feet high, travelling along
in the scorching whirlwinds, at few
miles distance from each other, like
giants stalking through the land, rear
ing their dim heads into the brass-col-
ored sky. These dust spouts are only
q few feet in diameter for hundreds OF
feet up. They come eddying along,
sometimes lifting even oil tins and
pieces of corrugated iron; and woe
betide the houses they take in their
track, for they fill them with dirt and
rubbish, making clatter on the roof.
Even if people are on the alert to close
all the apertures as they see column
approaching, they are filled with fine
dust, aud the very bookcovers curl up
with the heat. The people are as hap.
