Yesterdays Register stated that after
consultation between the Prescott
ing Attorney and Chief of Police Ben
nett, the Cleveland police would be
asked to release Joseph Winters, alias
MONTE Boneberg, and John Wray, alias
Ray, charged with raising eight dollar
checks given them by Wheeling bust
ness men, on the ground that it could
not be proven that the offense was
committed in this State. This letter
was actually written and sent, but at
ter a further consultation by the au-
thorities yesterday a telegram was sent
to Cleveland countermanding the letter
and asking that the men be held for
extradition papers, which will be OBJ
tanned rs soon as possible A reporter
for the Register saw several attorneys
yesterday, and they appeared to think
there would be no serious trouble
about making case against the men.
and held it would be all wrong to let
a forger escape punishment just be-
cause he happened to get check on
this side of the Ohio. take it to Bridge
port, raise it, and obtain the money on
it or send it floating about through the
channels of trade to fall into innocent
hands. In one case of this sort, charg-
ed against the two men now under ar
rest, the check was raised here, and
was sent out Of town for collection at
another city. If this assertion can be
maintained, it would seem the case
ought to stick.

Rinehart Conrad, a millwright, living

being constructed at the LaBelle.
Something interfered with the running
of the electric crane, which was placed

His hand was caught by the wheel and
cut off just above the wrist, severing

RACED WITH A WATERSPOUT
Thrilling Experience of Passengers
on Mexican Train

There was a race run between a pas
senger train on the Interoceanic and
waterspout last week.
The particulars of the unique race are
highly interesting. 1t was the daily
passenger train from Puebla to this
city, and a large number of passengers
were aboard About 4:30 the sky be-
came suddenly covered with masses of
black clouds. An inky waterspout Gu
Zebra, as it is called by reason of its
resemblance to a writhing serpent,
hung from the heavens and advanced
rapidly in the track of the moving
train. There was great excitement
among the passengers. The people in
the third class coach, who had the best
view of the phenomenon, went down on
their knees in prayers for deliverance.
When the engineer learned of the
panic aboard his train he decided to
show the culebra his heels. Then be-
gan the prettiest race on record, with
the lives of a load of passengers as the
stakes. Up grade, down grade, around
sharp curves. across bridges and over
the levels flew that passenger train.
with the waterspout just behind and
gaining just little little.
The train entered a canyon, turned
a curve, and at the same moment the
chasing cuebra came to grief high up
ON the mountain side. The water pour
ed down the slopes in raging torrents,
and as the train emerged from the
other side of the gorge a vast sheet of
water, bearing trees, rocks and all
kinds of debris on its bosom, threat
ened to engulf it. Wider the engineer
threw the throttle, endeavoring to es-
cape this new danger. And all would
have been safe, but another sharp
curve interviewed and the engine jump
ed the track. The engineer saw the
danger and reversed the lever and ap-
piled the brakes. The engine rolled
down the embankment, but the rest
of the train, including the tender, re-
manned on the track.

one can discover by visit to any OF

for the woman of wealth, who snaps
her fingers at prices, to declare every
thing that is inexpensive TO be not
worth the buying Any wise woman
of experience can refute this and prove
her refutation instantly, and those who
are not at all anxious to be robed in
the very last and latest mode of the
moment, who are wholly content to be

The Troubles of Ireland.

One one occasion Hartley COleridge
had listened with deep apparent inter-

known Irish enthusiast. who spent
much of his time travelling about Eng
land and enlightening the English mind
on the subject of Popish errors espe-
cially in Ireland. After dinner Hartley
requested to be presented to man so
remarkable. On the presentation he
took the far-famed traveller and phi
losopher by the arm, While a few of
the guests gathered around. and ad
dressed him with awful solemnity: "Sir,
there are two great evils in Ireland"

Irish guest; ''but please to name them
