PRISON ROMANCE.
Sisters Search Ends in Finding
Her Brother In StrIpes

Eureka Cali Spe San Francisco Call.
For many years Margaret Osbourne of
Mansfield, ILL.,, has been seeking q brother
lost to her 80 years ago. She had supposed
him dead. That he had occupied for 20 years
murderer's cell in states prison had for
tunately been kept from her. In RESPONSE
to her inquiries County Clerk Stern sent to
the woman the story of her brothers crime
and his present whereabouts. The brother and
the sister have found each other and in a.
touchlng letter to the clerk the prisoner
pours out his gratitude. He could not as
much as he longed for a reunion write the
story OF his own crime to his sister but he
was glad she brad learned the truth at last
All old residents know the history of John
c. Henely's crime. AS a handsome and stall
Wart young man he came to the county at an
early date He prospered and became wealthy. .
but like most Of the early settlers he drank
and gambled. One day in Ferndale saloon
he engaged in a dispute over game of cards
with Martin f. Branstetter, a prominent
citizen of that section. Branstetter slammed
Henely's face Henely jumped up, drew a
knife and literally ecute Branstetter to pieces
He was tried and 10. years ago on June 90
he was sentenced to life Imprisonment at
San Quentin
There has always been feeling in the
county that Henely half justified in
killing Branstetter, for it is claimed Bran
stetter was about to strike him with an iron
cribboard. Petitions for his release have
from time to time been circulated here On
account Of the brutality of the deed aggra-
waited by the fact that Branstetter was a
cripple remonstrances have always gone out
against them. Henely's unmanageable con-
duct during the early days of his confine-
ment also worked against him.
For a score of years Henely has chafed
under what many people consider an unjust
man, resigned to his fate and waiting pa
tiently for death.

MODERN GUNS.
Awful Force of an Eight-Inch Gun in
the Chilean War.

In dwelling upon the wonderful power
of modern guns Albert Matthews gives
illustrations from the recent Chilean
civil war, showing the effectiveness of
the smaller sizes of breech-loading
rified guns.
A shot weighing $50 pounds, from an
eight-inch gun Of FIT. Valdivia, in Valpa-
raise Harbor, struck the cruiser Blanco
Encalada above the armor belt, passed
through the thin steel plate on the side,
went through the Captains cabin, took
the pillow from under his head, dropped
his head on the mattress with a thump,
but without injuring a hair passed
through the open door into the mess
ROOM where it struck the floor, and
then glanced to the ceiling
Then it went through a wooden bulk
head an inch thick into a room 25 by AZ
feet, where 40 men were sleeping in
hammocks. 1t killed six of them out
right and wounded six others, three of
whom died, after which it passed
through a steel bulkhead five inches
thick, and ended its course by striking
a battery outside, in which it made a
dent nearly two inches deep. 1t was
filled with sand. Had it released dead
ly gases no one knows what damage
it might have done.

STEEL BUILDINGS
Are Comparatively Safe From the
Fury of the Cyclone.

FURY of the Cyclone.
Harper's Weekly.
The appalling calamity that has fallen
upon st. Louis has given Chicago something
serious to think about and Considerable
weakened the hasty assumption that we need
nave no fear Of cyclones. That assumption
has been based, for the most part. upon the
theory that the buildings of a great citv
would so break the force Of a tornado that
little damage could result. This theory does
not seem to have much value in the light
or the dreadful experience of st. Louis and
we are forced to fall back upon the less sat
1SIaotory theory that the proximity Of Lake
Michigan gives immunity. But the meteoroI-
ogfsts say that this view is unsupported by
ract; and we can all remember that Ra-
cine, also on the shore Of the lake was
badly damaged by a cyclone not many years
ago.
Perhaps the question Of greatest practical
interest raised by the st. Louis disaster is
that Of the stability of the modern form Of
steel construction, so largely used in bust
ness structures here and elsewhere Build
ings Of this type do not seem to have SUI
fered much at st. Louis, although it is re-
ported that in one or two instances the roofs
were torn away. The architects have good
deal to say upon the subject and are gen.
orally OF the opinion that the building OF
modern skeleton construction would with.
stand the fury of any cyclone that ever
swept over the prairies. The brick or terra
Gotta sheeting Of such a building would
probably suffer, and the steel frame work
might get twisted but the building would
stand as a whole, in the face Of any con-
ce1vable wind pressure.

NEW YEAR OPENS WELL
In the London Exchange-Au Mar
kets Firm.

LONDON, Jan. 3..-The new year
opened auspiciously on the stock ex-
change, with money for the time be-
Ing cheap. All the markets were firm.
with considerable advnace in some di-
rections. The movement, it is under
stood, was mainly professional on the
belief that the investment public is
likely to be attracted. Home railway
securities showed a general advance
of from one to three. Foreign securi-
ties were all better, including Spanish,
Brazilians, Mexicans1 and Uruguays.
The principal feature of the week was
the sharp rise in Argentine securities
and Argentine railways, the latter ad-
vancing from to g. per cent on the
week on improving trade prospects.
Most of the Industrial shares were also
advancing. The American market also
had got over the shock of the Chicago
failures. Central Pacific Illinois Cen
trail and New York Central declined
". All others advanced; Missouri
Pacifis As, 21s; Erie Mortgage, /, and
others fractionally. Canadian Pacific
was up IL, and Grand Trunk ".

HANEY IS OUT OF 1T.
1t Looks Now Like Lydiard for
Clerk.


The scheme to elect Charles f. Haney
city clerk for the next two years has
died a-bornin' The exposure of the
was a fatal blow, and the Haney men in
the council were made to realize that
vote for their old friend Charlie
would very likely open up for them
early political graves. It was a bold
scheme, and for that very fact looked
at one time as though it might be con-
Summated.
With the Haney deal on it's back, who
then will be the next city clerk? For
tune seems to favor L. A. Lydiard, and
it looked last night to a man not ex-
actly up a tree that that gentleman
would secure the plum. When the Re-
publican members of the council meet
this morning it will be found that
Lydiard will be the first choice Of at
least ten of them, and the second choice
of five more, making in all fifteen sup
porters which he will develop before
the caucus closes. When the matter
reaches the floor Of the council cham
Der, Lydiard will therefore have a, very
tight grip on the city clerkship.
Assistant City Clerk Chaplin is ap-
parently out Of the race, although he
will not so admit. Many Of the alder
men who would like to support Chaplin
feel that a vote for the assistant city
clerk would be very much like a vote
for Haney, and for this reason they will
drop Chaplin, and, as between Frank
Forbes and Lydiard, will probably
stand by the latter.
While Lydiard seems to be leading
and to have cinch on the office many
things are liable to drop between this
morning and o'clock this afternoon
1t may be possible that the scheme to
re-elect Haney will be revived, but this
is improbable. Forbes is out of it, and
Chaplin has some strength, which may
grow, but from indications last night
it certainly looked very much like
Lydiard.

NO DEMOCRATS THERE.
Aldermen Get Together to Arrange
Their SIates.

The aldermen had caucus In the prlyate
apartments Of the janitor OF the city nan
last evening. Caucuses have been neid IN
many strange places, but never IN the aWei i-
ling portion of the municipal building OF TINS
city. Why it was not held at tne
council chamber or even in the grand
is merely matter OF conjecture
Some of the aldermen have been inside the
grand jury rooms and everybody knows that
these rooms are admirably calculated to keep
out the prying public.
Sergeant-at-Arms Gaylord had apples, or
angeS and cigars for the aldermen They were
ocrats.
But the caucus? Well, there was no choice.
Men who understand one another so we'll as
chose sixteen need not talk before strange ana
good citizens; wink is as good as a nod TO
q, blind horse and all the aldermanic combine
language consists of signs and tokens. They
sat there for an hour. They spent the, greater
IEd-t of the time telling stories such six
Es-en men and no ladies are wont 10 listen
ito and all the while some one was trying to
find an excuse for adjournment. 1t was
awkward for the sixteen and they dared not
show their hand, so they talked and ate ap-
pies and finally they took up the street COM
wards represented by two Republicans the
matter of street commiSsionership should be
left to the aldermen, provided they could
agree. The same, in of two Demo-
cratic aldermen, provided they could agree.
But in wards whore there was any difference
between the two aldermen the matter was to
be fought out the floor of the council.
There is known to be a dispute between
O'Brien and Lane over the election of
street commissioner for the Second ward.
O'Brien wants to have Dave Armstrong re-
elected and Lane is reported favoring the
election of William Mckinney, a retired lum-
herman. OBrien predicts that he can beat
his opponent, giving him cards and spades.
In the Thirteenth ward there is similar
fight Fort wants new man, John Eager
strom, and Currier wants the old commits
stoner, H. w. Weber, reelected. In the
Sixth and Tenth wards the Democrats will
be permitted to name their man.
There are all kinds of talk about fight over
the building inspectorship. There is a story
that Aid. Nordeen, who not within the
sacred circle during the past four years, is
to succeed Building Inspector Gilman. This
is denied, and the denial seems the best
founded. There is also fight on over that
sinecure, the sea,er of weights and meas
ures. 1t looks as if there would be a hot
fight over some Of these places in the Repub-
lican caucus, which meets for an all-day ses-
sion in the council chamber Monday, and
perhaps some of the fights will be carried into
the council.

As to Scale Allowed the American
illustrator Than the English.

London Chronicle.
In the little outer gallery Of the Fine Arts
society few of Mr.. c.. Dana Gibson's draw
ings are hanging Mr.. Gibson, as Is we'll
known, is American illustrator, and in
America artists who work in black and white
are less hampered by traditions and conven-
tons than they are here 1t has been, one
might say a part of their artistic creed that
the business of the wood engraver or the pro-
cess man is to produce their drawings, and
not theirs to that the reproduction is
made as easy and simple as possible. They
do not allow themselves to be bound by any
hard and-fast rules as to size, lines or ma
terials.
Mr.. Gibson works on a scale that would take
take away the breath of the English photo-en-
graver who looks upon the draughtsman as
a mere slave of the foot rule But so well
does Mr.. Gibson know what he Is doing that
his drawings gain instead Of lose by reduc-
ton on the pages of the magazines; the orig
inals are clever and bold and free, but they
are somewhat wanting in the refinement which
usually distinguishes the prints after Them
