A Woman Bankrobber.

There was an exciting chase in Weir
City, kan, by a dozen or more citizens
with Winchesters, after two of the rob-
bers who held up the Mcdonald County
Bank at Pineville, Mo, and robbed it
of S539 %
There were three robbers, two men
and woman dressed in mans clothes.
The woman held the horses outside and
kept the street clear while her pals
looted the safe. They were pursued,
and her horse was shot from under
her, but all three escaped. At South
west City, I. T., they We're overtaken,
and one of the men, Whit Tennyson,
was so badly wounded that he was
captured and gave the names of the
others-a man named Parker and his
wife, who was recently divorced from
her husband, James Russell.
The couple We're followed to Weir
City by Cashier J. w. Shields Of the
Mcdonald County Bank, and G. w
Smith and j. D. Yeagin of Southwest
City, who had information that the
robbery was originated by "Bil" Hub
bard of Weir City, brother of the Par
ker woman, and had in their possession
a drawing outlining the plans. Hub
bard was arrested on the streets. and a
posse started for the house of Samuel
Hubbard, his father, near town, to
capture the woman and her husband.
The house was surrounded, and she
was arrested but Parker could not be
found

British Admiralty Red Tape.

Every one who has to do with the
Admiralty is familiar with amusing
tales of the glorifcation of red tape.
Here is the very latest: Some time
ago a workman in one of the dock
yards lost a Government candlestick,
valued at a few pence. This was con-
sidered sufficient excuse for a report
by the local officials to Whitehall. A
long correspondence of the approved
Government office type ensued, and it
is estimated that not less than f5 was
spent in the officials time, ink and
paper. After every aspect of the case
had been weighed the workman was
directed to pay the local officials the
sum of pence, being the value set
upon this particular candlestick. OF
course if the man had been in private
employment, little or no notice would
have been taken of such a triviality, or,
at most, he would have paid his fore
man the value, without any red-tape-
ism.-W Westminster Gazette.

Many People Injured, Two of Whom Are
Thought Fatally.
On Account of Heavy Mist Which
the Motormen Failed to Notice
That He Had Left the Double
Track and the Two Cars CoIIid-
ed With Terrific Force.

CHICAGO, Sept 1.-two electric
cars on the Suburban Electric Railway
collided while running at full speed
along the stretch of single track on
Harlem avenue, south of Harrison
street, in La Grange, this morning. The
accident happened just before o'clock
when traffic was heavy. and nearly all
the passengers, with which both cars
were crowded, were injured
The motorman, j. NJ. Murphy, and
John Jamison, will die.
The following We're seriously injured:
Conductor ]. E. Harvey, August Ma
metz, John Donnelly, Louis Groedel,
Frank Bratty, Richard Schaudel, Will
liam Otto, Roy Bloom, Thomas Rob-
ert, Eliza Meredith W. S. Mckee,
Charles Whitsell, w. r. Ryan and Au-
gusta TupeI.
On account of a heavy mist which
hung over the tracks the motOrman of
the southbound car which was to have
passed the northbound car where the
double track ends, failed to notice that
he had left the double track. Before he
could reverse his trolley and run back
the northbOund car came along at full
speed, the cars colliding with terrific
force

The Key Of sheridan,s Success.

General Horace Porter, in his Cam
paigning with Grant in the September
Century" says, after describing the
battle of Five Forks:
Sheridan had that day fought one Of
the most interesting tactical battles OF
the war, admirable IN conception, bril-
liant in execution, strikngly dramatic
in its incidents, and productive of ex-
tremely important results
l said to him: 1T seems to me that
you have exposed yourself to-day in a
manner hardly jrstifable on the part of
a commander of such an important
movement" His reply gave what
seems to be a true key to his uniform
success on the field: Il have never in
my life taken a command into battle
and had the slightest desire to come
out alive unless I Won"

jured, Mrs. Barber's limbs were Sc
verely injured. and people in the Vi
cinity of Winnie were generally injured
but none killed.
Port Arthur suffered the brunt of the
blast, and half the town is estimated to
have been destroyed or badly damaged.
The wind came up about o'clock,
and increased in force, blowing from the
south, and gradually working into the
east. A number of people sought shell
ter from the storm in the roundhouse of
the railroad. and several We're severely
injured and two killed when the struct-
ure collapsed. Under a restaurant a
small frame structure, three more bodies
We're found.
The wind blew with hurricane force
about two hours. There were many mi
raculous escapes.
At Sabine Pass the greatest damage
was done to shipping. and the only loss
Of life was among the shipping. There
was no loss Of life in either new or old
Sabine proper.
The tugs Fannie Guillotte and John P.
Smith We're sunk and the Norwegian
steamship Ceres, so tons, was torn from
her moorings at the wharf and blown
five miles north, where she grounded in
a few Feet Of water.
At the new town several buildings
We're blown from their foundations, and
several partially constructed buildings
We're demolished. No one in the town
was seriously injured, the casualties
being confined to the shipping.
Eight miles of the Texas and Sabine
Railroad north of Sabine Pass is washed
away. Twenty-Five hundred feet of the
export pier at Port Arthur is destroyed,
and the people Of that town are so ter
ror-stricken that they are leaving it as
fast as tEev can get away.
No estimate of the damage to prop
erty at Port Arthur and Sabine Pass
has been obtained.
The damage TO buildings and
crops is severe The losses to farmers in
Jefferson County alone will approximate
$150,000 which they would have had in
hand withoin thirty days, had the storm
been DELAYED that long but now the
crops are completely ruined. The Texas
and Sabine Pass Railway Company is
at work building their line to Sabine
Pass. and rebuilding and repairing is in
progress at the town of Sabine, and as
soon as the people at Port Arthur re-
cover from their fright, rebuilding viii
be resumed there
The Kansas City. Pottsburg and Gulf
Railway will at once repair the dam
age inflicted to their property at Port
Arthur and push their shin coal to an
early completion. The chief officials of
the road are now en- route of Port
Arthur.

A Barge Running Adrift.

NEWPORT (Or). Sept. 14.-The tug
Tonquin, which arrived to-day from
Rogue River, reports having encount-
cred a severe northwest gale ten miles
below Cape Blanco. The steamer Bis
marck, plying along the coast, became
unmanageable, and started to leak
badly. The Tonquin was compelled to
cast adrift a barge she was towing, and
put line on the Bismarck to keep her
from going to the bottom. 1t was with
the greatest difficulty that the tug
reached Rogue River with the Bis
marck. The Bismarck was towed in and
beached as she was in a sinking condi
ton. Search for the barge was made,
but no trace of it could be found.
