Washington. July l6.-The secretary
OF war to-day transmitted to congress
the report Of the chief engineers on the
preliminary examination made by Ma
jor r. w. Symonds. of the corps OF en-
gineers. OF a ship canal from the great
lakes to the Hudson river. The work
was done In accordance with a provi-
sion In the last river and harbor bill.
General Wilson, chief OF engineers.
says In the report that il Is the opin-
ion of the local officer that the best
route for a ship canal Is that by way
of Niagara river. Lake Ontario. Oswe-
40. Oneida lake and. Mohawk and
Hudson rivers. and that this would
cost at a rough estimate 100000. 900.

imposed by the state on its use be re-
moved. result In a commercial advan-

SHE WAS LOST. sHURE.
An Elderly Woman From the Old
Sod Came to Topeka Instead
of Kansas Citv

This morning at o'clock, as Santa
F'e train No. stopped at the depot, an
old woman sc years of age gathered
her bundles and two small satchels and
trudged into the depot. She was short
and very fat, her face was red and
tiny black bonnet was set the back
of her head, and her voice was loud and
strong, veritable basso.
1t was Mrs. Margaret Killey of Kan
SaS City, Mo.
She asked the Gepotmaster how soon
street car would arrive for up town.
Being told that it would be an hour,
she sat down in the depot and waited
patiently for it.
car at O'Clock and riding to the trans
fer station, she asked Transfer Agent
Hurst what car she should take to go
to Nineteenth street. A transfer for
South Topeka was given her, and Con-
ductor Stevenson tried to understand of
her whom she wanted to see. But
soon she returned to the transfer sta
ton and said in a deep voice and a
thoroughly mixed articulation that she
had boarded the wrong car and added
that it was Nineteenth street she wish
ed to reach. Then she was given a
transfer to Quinton Heights, Mr.. Hurst
thinking that perhaps Nineteenth and
Buchanan streets would be the desired
destination. But after awhile back
came Mrs. Margaret Killey. She was
now angry and discouraged.
Finally in the midst of the fine, rich
brogue the transfer agent caught the
words:
''Oi live at Nineteenth strate. It's
near tn market"
Then Transfer Agent Hurst was
struck with an idea. You're in Tope-
ka," said he to Mrs. Margaret Killey.
The latter looked surprised, wheeled
around and looked at the buildings on
Kansas avenue and Eighth street, and
exclaimed: ttWill, be tn Howly Stint
Patrick! Is that roight? o, Oh thought
Oh was in Kansas CITY,
Patrolman Hendricks took Mrs. Kill
ley to the police station, where Police
Matron Thorpe arranged for transport
tation for her, and this afternoon she
was sent to Kansas City. Mrs. Killey
had been in western Kansas, where she
attended the funeral of a relative.

MOB SHOOTS INTOA CELL.
Prisoners Hide Under the Bedding
and Save Themselves.

Denver, Aug. ia special to the
Times from Central City, Colo, says
that a mob from Russell Gulch, armed
and masked, broke into the Central
city Jail by effecting an entrance
through a door in the rear and de-
manded the keys of the cell from the
jailer.
In this cell were confined four pris-
oners held on suspicion of the murder
of Alex Goddard, an American miner,
who was stabbed during saloon row
with Austrians last Monday night.
The mob was after Dominic Roher,
believed to be guilty of the murder The
jailer refused to give up the keys
whereupon the mob fired through the
bars into the cage. The four prisoners
escaped death by hiding behind the
mattresses and bedding in their cell.
The mob supposing it had killed the
four, left the Jail. Four leaders have
been arrested and strong guard now
placed about the Jail, but further trou-
HE is feared.
