Starting Point.

New York. March 1.-The World
this morning says:
Passing coasters observed four sus-
picious looking crafts, two tugs, a
schooner and barge, lying off Barn
gate till the storm, with its white
fuses of snow, became so thick as to
shut off the vision.
A steamer with a single funnel, a
black hull and two mastS, rugged as
derrickS. emerged from the gloom of
the morning.
When signalled two tugs answered
Understandings and presently came
about and tied up alongside the little
fore and aft rugged steamer which in
turn made fast to one of the tugs and
had no sail spread. The whole pro-
Ceedng looked like the start of Il
carefully planned tillibuStering eXpe-
ditiOn for Cuba. 1t was learned that

from some point on the coast, so his
friends in the Cuban junta say.
His outfit was to comprise hospital
stores. rifles. ammunition and few
picked men. The point from which
he was to sail was kept secret. No
one about the Junta would say he
knew of any arrangement for the eX-
petition.
A tug called the Volunteer, which is

Young Man Murdered Because He
Was The Favored Suffer.
Evansville. Ind, March Nicholas
Trautvetter, a young farmer, 10 years
old. was found dead lying in the road
a few miles from the city. Young
Trautvetter was found to have three
bullet holes through his head and one
through the body. He had been dead
some time when found. He had left
home in a buggy with another young
man to call upon young lady. He
failed 10 return at his usual hour and
his folks became uneasy and organic
ed search party.
When the remains were found the
young man who had been with him
was sought but had not been found
at last accounts. Messengers were at
once dispatched to BoOnville for the
sheriff and coroner and an effort will
be made to secure a couple of blood
hounds with which to track the MUIR
derers. for there is evidence it is a
case of murder. 1t is not known that
Young Trautvetter had any enemies
but the young lady he was waiting
on is very popular in her neighbOrhood
and had other young men besides Mr..
Trautvetter enamored of her. and it
may be that his death is the result of
jealousy on the part of some of the
less favored suitors.
Evansville, Ind, March 2.-Later-
Robert Moore has been arrested,
charged with the crime of numbering
Nicholas Trautvetter.
Trautvetter and Moore were suitors
of Miss Phoebe Schick. Trautvetter

A NOVEL RIDE.
ACROSS THE CONTINENT IN AN
ENGINE Dab.
Young Australian Wanted to Catch
Steamer Home and Rode on The
Fast Mail Engine.

Chicago. March For the first
time since its Inauguration the fast
mail train which left the Burlington
depot at > o'clock this morning carried
Il passenger. He is making Il race
over the continent to catch the steam
cr Alpmada. at San Francisco. The
passenger who has secured this privi
lege is Frederick Rookie, the clerk of
the Supreme court of Australia. He
has been in England for some time
and timed his departure from there
SO he would lose no time in catching
his Pacific steamer at San Francisco.
The wind and tempeStuOuS weather
delayed the steamer almost day.
Rookie had reached New York six
hours after the last train that would
land him in San Francisco in time had
departed. He learned that if he could
get passage on the fast mail train
from here he could overtake the Bur
lington's fast train that left Chicago
at 1890 last night. He wired Superin-
| tpndent Troy. of the Railway Mail
service. for permission. Mr.. Troy
conferred with the Burlington people
and they refused to permit Il passen-
ger on the train saying they had no
place for one. Mr.. Troy sent the dis
cOuraging answer to Rookie. 1t caught
him on the train at Cleveland. He wir
ed back saying he would ride on the
engine. the platform or anywhere that
he could get a hold. Mr.. Troy had Il
secret conference with the Burling-
ton people. He showed Rocks last
statement in which he stated that if
he missed the steamer he would have
to wait in San Francisco for three
weeks before he could get another
Australian steamer. The railroad au-
thOritieS then consented to let Rookie
ride in the cab and reply to that eff
feet was sent to the anxious AntipO
dian
When the Lake Shore train pulled
into the station Mr.. Rookie alighted
and then encountered trouble in get
ting his baggage transferred to the
Burlington. That finally accomplish
ed he paced the platform until time
for the train to start. He was not
pleased with the prospect of riding
across the continent in the engine cab,
but Engineer Kelly smilingly assur-
ed him that the cramped quarters
would be made as comfortable as
possible for him.

Audience.

The dogs and Ponies Attract Large
Audience.
Prof. Gentry'S famous dog and pony
show gave it's opening performance
last night and nearly every seat in the
big tent was occupied. The excellent
street parade given yesterday, coupled
with the recollection Of the show when
it exhibited in this city, We're sufficient
attraction TO fill the tent. The dogs
and ponies were at their best and ev-
cry one present was thoroughly pleas
ed with the performance. A great
many new acts and animals have
been added to the exhibition and the
performance is even better than ever
One of the pleasing features of the
Gentry show is the willing manner
in which the animals go through the
various parts assigned them. They
seem to take as much delight in Civ
ing the performance as the audience
10 in seeing them. This is probably
due to the fact that the animals are
educated by kindness alone. This fact
is very much in evidence throughout
the performance, for after an animal
has finished Il task he invariably
comes up to the Professor for his re-
ward. which consists of several af-
fectiOnate pats on the head.
The performance is so arranged that
II can be enjoyed by both old and
young and the exhibition can be at
tended with both profit and pleasure.
The engagement is for the entire week
with performance every night and
matineeS tomorrow, Thursday and
Saturday at $50 O'Clock.

Can See Your Optical Blood Vessel

Behind the eye what is called the
"retina" Is lined with branching blood
vessels, and a curious but perfectly
simple experiment will enable you to
see these. Place yourself in a dark
room opposite a dark-colored wall;
then light a candle, and, holding it in
YOUR hand, shove it up and down be-
fore your eyes, all the time looking, not
at the candle, but the wall beyond.
After a little practice you will see ap-
near on the wall a great branching fig
ure in black on a reddish surface.
What you are looking at is the shadow
of these blood vessels at the back of
your eyes. Perhaps the most curious
mart of the whole thing Is that the part
of the eye which receives the impress
sion Of light must lie behind these
blood vessels.
