1t is now being moved, incredible as this
may seem, to the latter city. Dwellings
and barns, hotels and buildings that once
made up st. Lawrence are being uprooted
and transferred to sites within the corpo-
rate limits of Miller. St. Lawrence was
founded in 1882 by Chicago capital, and
at first had great ambitions. 1t wanted
to be the county seat, and it yearned after
some of the State institutions, but it could
get none. Then it sunk an artesian well,
but the pipes would not work, and Law
rentians claimed that Millerians had
stuffed the rents up with iron bars. Pretty
soon the site of the once proud city VIII
be as barren and desolate as that OF FER
sepolis, Troy or ancient Carthage.

Lake Vessel Goes Down.

Navigation through the great ice field at
the head of Lake Erie in a dense snow
storm led to the stranding Of the steamer
G. A. Black. with wheat from Duluth, be-
low Bar Point. The big barge Aurania,
also with wheat from Duluth, went
aground within one-quarter of mile of
the Western Transit liner Commodore at
Bar Point. While the steamer Aurora
was dragging the Aurania through the ice
fields flames broke out on the steamer, and
her captain had to scuttle the ship to pre-
vent her total destruction. She went down
in eighteen feet of water. Her cargo or
wheat from Duluth will be a total loss,
but it is thought by the underwriters that
there will be enough left of the steamer to
be worth the raising. The burned boat is
owned by John Corrigan Of Cleveland.
and was worth $4,000.

Atrocities in Formosa.

Terrible atrocities are reported from
Formosa. Two hundred rebels recently
attacked village, surprising the people
and looting the place. They burned thirty
seven houses. A japanese police inspec-
tor and six constables persisted in repell-
ing the attack. One constable was cap
tured alive. The insurgents fastened on
his back the bloody heads of his compan-
ions and drove him before them into the
woods. Re-enforcements were sent to the
village, where the mutilated bodies of the
victims were found. One constable killed
his own wife and child with his sword to
prevent them from becoming captives. He
was then killed by the savages. There is
much disquietude among the inhabitants
of Hankow since the recent fire, in which
5000 people lost their lives. Several
smaller fires have occurred since, all be-
lieved to be the work of incendiaries. The
Shanghai Daily Press says five Chinese
were caught in the act of gniting many
dwellings. They were thrown into the
flames and burned alive.

BANK WAS IN THE WALL,
Groceryman Who Could Not Trust
Bankers and Abhorred Robbers.

Groceryman Who Could Not Trust
Bankers and Abhorred Robbers.
j. II. Williams kept little grocery store
In Harlem, just across the Missouri River
from Kansas City. He was suspicious of
banks and afraid of robbers, and one day
found what he thought was good hiding
place for his money. Every day he gath
cred his profits and had them changed into
gold. This money he dropped, piece by
piece, into a crevce in the shelving near
a boarded window. He planned that if
ever fire broke out all he would have
to do would be to run to the outside of his
store, rip the Notwithstanding from the
window, and get his money. Recently a
fire did break out and destroyed Will
Jams store before he could get at his
money. In the morning he was prodding
around the hot ashes in half-hopeless
way, and to his joy, found the great bulk
of his money. He picked out $1,74O in
S., $40, and $50 gold pieces. 1t was all
together and only one SO piece was dam
aged by fire. Williams is uncertain
whether he had 800 or 81 900 in the
shelving and is vexed to know whether
his loss is $50 or $160. His stock was not
Insured

GIDEON W. MARSH SENTENCED.

Given Twelve Years and Three Months
in Prison and $500 Fine.
Gideon W. Marsh, former president of
the wrecked keystone National Bank at
Philadelphia, was sentenced by Judge
Butler in the United States District Court
to imprisonment for twelve years and
three months and to pay a fine Of $500.
Marsh was charged with conspiracy in
making false entries in the books and
issuing false reports to the Comptroller
of the Currency. 1t was thought probable
that Marsh might, when brought up for
sentence, make a statement duplicating
others in the wrecking Of the bank, but
he merely informed the court that his
predecessor in the presidency of the bank
had left defalcation Of over $1,000, OOO
and that he (Marsh) had never prohted a
dollar through the banks losses.
