CHHWED HIS WAY FROM A CELL.
A Maniac Breaks Out by Means of
His Eating the Door.

Gettysburg, Pa, March 10.-Benjamin
Hoar aged 10, an inmate OF the insane
department of the almshouse, made his
second escape within three weeks, last
night, by chewing away with his teeth
enough of the wood around the door of
his cell to admit the iron bolt being
drawn out. Making his way to the
bathroom he was enabled, by almost
superhuman strength to pullaway sufl-
cient of the iron window grating to
create an opening large enough to
crawl through.
IIoar went to the home of his father
and when directed to return to the
almshouse, fled into the country unmo-
listed, his father being afraid to detain
him, aware that he was no match for
the young man in strength.

LOST LIVES
In ALASKA
Four Rhode Island Gold
Seekers Drowned
in KLONDIKE COUNTRY.
Members of the Party That Left In
March and April Last.
TWO OF LOST WERE MARRIED.

Advices received here from San
Francisco report the drowning OF four
Providence men I'm the Klondike gold
country within the past three weeks
The victims are Fred NJ. Howard, lrv-
ing Howard, his brother Joseph Gra-
ham and Samuel Wilmarth.
The men were expert mechanics and
engineers, and they were some of the
party OF % who left here last April and
March to undertake the perilous jour
ney The last that the wife of Fred Nj.
Howard. who keeps a boarding house
at 80 Aborn street knew of the move
ments of the expedition was about a
month ago, when she received a letter
from Alaska. saying that a number or
the men were going ahead prospecting
for gold. Fred NJ. Howard left wife
and one child. as also does Graham,
while Irving Howard and Wilmarth
were single. The men were among those
who joined the party known as the
Rhode Island and Alaska mining and
trading company"
They left San Francisco i'm the bark
Mermaid, and arrived in Alaska In due
time for working progress into the gold
digging country while the warm
weather permitted. They were report
as short of provisions. but this state
ment was later denied. The Mermaid
was good ship, bark rugged. and
there were plenty of -four, provisions
and beans and pork aboard. The YES
sci was well equipped and under COM
mand of Capt. Weeks.
She was reported at Port Townsend
and Port Clarence i'm July, and later
the party was heard from at Kotzebue
sound. A letter from this latter point
indicated that there was party or
nine going to the Koack river to hunt
for gold. Fred Howard was one of the
leaders in the movement and was Il
mechanical engineer. whose experience
was OF great value TO the party. Some
OF the party comprising the 20 people
OF the expedition came from East Prov
idence, Newport and Fall River. and
at San Francisco about 125 passengers
were taken aboard for passage to Port
Townsend. The expedition was one Of
the best that ever departed from the
east.
All the victims Of the disaster Of
which there are thus far meager details
were young men not above 35. and they
were well known i'm this vicinity.

ATTACHED A PARROT.
Polly a Hostage In Hands Of a
MiniOn Of the Law.
Will Be Sold at Public Auction TO Satisfy
a Judgment.

I'll never undertake to seize par
rot again as long as l live" said DR..
Il. II. Bell of % Snow street.
I'm my day, / have attached almost
everything, but the climax was reach
ed when l attached a parrot and cage
and l hope IL will never fall to my lot
to attach another one" remarked Con-
stable Andrew Mckenzie.
The latter part of June a woman
called upon DR.. Bell and engaged his
tenement at q Snow street. the terms
being $50 per month, payable on the
first day of each month. The woman
gave her name as Caroline Beatham,
and 10 all appearance she was an ex-
celent tenant The first OF the month
came and the doctor called for ms
rent. Mrs. Beatham was not ready TO
pay Just then. He called again later
i'm the month, and received part of the
amount due. He became angry ana
ordered his tenant To vacate. she de-
cided to move on her own accord, but
DE- -f,ett WIS not entirely satisfied as
a considerable balance was due him.
He knew that Mrs. Beatham owned,
or had i'm her possession, n valuable
parrot and cage. A writ OF attachment
for Polly and the cage was Issued.
and Constable Mckenzie went up the
back stairs INTO MIS-, btdtndin ltut7
ment. and found the door to the kitchen
open. ON table sat Polly and his cage
and he winked at the process server.
Polly and the cage were seized. A
servant saw the proceedings and noti-
fled Mrs. Beatham. who came hurriedly
into the kitchen and ordered the men
TO put the cage and its precious con-
tents down.
OF course the constable and DR.. Bell,
who accompanied him. smiled but Mrs.
Reatham didn't. She made a Vigorous
protest but To no purpose, as bird and
cage were hustled out OF the house.
Mrs. Beatham. who lis milliner, AT
once made an assignment To man
named Anthony. and before the ink on
the papers was fairly dry. Mr.. Anthony
called upon Constable Mckenzie and
demanded the parrot as part or the
assets Of the assignor but the consta .
bic firmly refused To give up the bird
which. with its cage, is To bc sold at
public auction at high noon next Tues
day.

it is believed that 1T was felt quite


generally.
The railroads were more or less ham
dicapped, but the only train failing to
arrive on time was the Great Northern
overland regular, which was due at
els, and had not reached the city at
midnight. 1t was stated at the depot
that the train had encountered a ter
rifle snow storm in Dakota and other
sections and would not reach st. Paul
until today.
ALI Of the outgoing trains left as
usual last evening, though the Kansas
City road sent out two engines with
It's Sioux City passenger train at 1905.
Towards midnight the snowfall di-
minished, and the cold wave predicted
by the weather bureau was evidenced
by the appreciable fall in temperature.
From As degrees above Saturday night
the mercury fell to q degrees at 7
o'clock last evening, and, according
to the weather bureau, was due to get
as low as 10 degrees during the night
The storm notification to the local
weather bureau came from the Chicago
station at o'clock yesterday morning,
when orders were received to hoist the
cold wave signal, together with the
statement that snow would follow
within thirty-six hours.
Like the generality Of atmospherical
changes, the storm moved from west
to east. From the reports of other
Northwestern stations it appears that
ST. Paul, however, received the brunt
of the blizzard, as no precipitation Is
reported from any other point except
Duluth. where the snowfall was very
light. In this city at Z o'clock last
evening the fall registered "a.
The indications for today are for
fair, colder weather, as predicted from
an area of high barometer throughout
the Northwest The cold wave, the
weather bureau gives out, will not be
severe, nor Of long duration.
