Narrow Escape of $4,000.

Algernon Wood, rich young English
man, nearly lost $4,000 the other day in
New York. "Con" Cadigan, the cleverest
gold brick artist in the United States,
nearly got it. Captain McClusky saved
it. Cadigan is locked up and for some
time will be unable to work the most up
to-date gold brick swindle that ever had
birth in the busy brains of these active and
original artists. Cadigan successfully
lured the son of rich, recently deceased
Englshman to this country by a charming
romance of rich gold mines, the product Of
which he wished to share with the dead
gentleman, to whom he was indebted for
his marvellous success in life. This infor-
nation was all contained in letter which
"Con" wrote to the Englishman and which
was naturally opened by his son. Only a
chance visit to lawyer and Captain Nc
Clusky saved that $4,000.

VERY PECULIAR CASE
A FARMER MYSTERlOUSLY Alb.
SENT EIGHTEEN MONTHS.
He Returns and Tells Strange Story
of Abduction and imprisonment in
an AsyIum-Little Boy Compelled to
Take a Horses Place.
Imrnured in n Madhouse.

Samuel Nissley, a farmer residing near
Unicorn, Pa, disappeared on April l,
1897, under mysterious circumstances.
The other day he returned home with
story of kidnapping. The day he dlsap-
peared he went to Lancaster to transact
some business, and as he had in his pos
session a considerable sum of money 1t
was believed after few days that he had
been murdered and robbed. A general
search of the surrounding country was
made, even the streams being dragged.
Some time after his disappearance his
farm was sold by the sheriff, his wife
buying it in, and it was then concluded
that he had fed to escape financial trou"
bles. During his entire absence his fam
lily received no news of him. and when ne
quietly stepped into their midst recently
there was great excitement. Ills story
of his disappearance is q strange one. lie
says that the day he disappeared he went
from Lancaster to Harrisburg to attend
to some business. When ready to return
to Lancaster he took west-bound train
instead Of one east bound, and about the
time he discovered his error two men
claimed that he was in their custody and
was being taken to an insane asylum. Ihe
people about him took his indignant de-
malls for the rawlings of an insane man,
where he cannot tell. He was only re-
leased q couple of days before, and he re-
turned home as soon as possible.

Serious Fire in Brooklyn.

Fire at pier 80, East river. Brooklyn, did
damage to the amount of 100000. Among
the heaviest losses is that of George L.
Hammond, owner of the naval stores,
which is placed at 100000: the Ando-
renha. owned by f. w. Roberts of Liver
pool, England, and valued at $3OO,OOO
She was consigned to Rail- Brothers, COM
mission merchants. The blazing vessel
was lowed down to the Gowanus flats and
probably will prove a total loss. The
Brooklyn Wharf and Warehouse Com
pany. according to the best estimates, will
lose 100000.

Midnight Trip for Hidden Money.
Mrs. Hannah Burke of Elyria, Ohio, is
dead as result of fright. Three weeks
ago man giving the name Of DR.. D.
James appeared at Elyria and put out
clairyoyant sign. Mrs. Burke, widow of
the late David Burke, became interested
in the clairvoyant, and she received mes
sage from him which he claimed was from
her dead husband. At one time her hus-
band had met with heavy financial loss.
and this point was taken up by DIR. James.
The clairvoyant gave her message, IN
which it was stated that it was the desire
of the spirit to have her regain the money,
and in order to do this she must converse
with other spirits, who would direct her
to a spot on the old farm where the money
was to be found. Mrs. Burke was in
structNl to go to the farm with compan-
ion, between the hours of midnight and
in the morning. The trip was made as di-
rected. When the farm was reached Mrs
Burke became so frightened that she col
lapsed. She was taken to her home and

EQUIPPING THE NAVY.
CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR HIGH.

He Tells of the Work Done in Recent
Months-Ten Vessels Accepted by
the Government from Bui1ders-How
Dun Views Trade.
Hichborn's Work in the Navy.

h1ChDOrn'S Work IN the Navy
A large part of the burden of equipping
the United States navy for the war with
Spain fell upon the construction bureau
of the navy, and in his annual report Com
modore Hichborn, the chief constructor,
furnishes many interesting details as to
the extent of this work, involving the
transformation of more than 100 mer-
chant craft into effective naval vessels at
short notice. Looking to the future, the
chief constructor invites attention to the
Importance of properly equipping and
maintaining the plants at the minor naval
stations along the coast already estaD-
lished, and he submits estimates for the
purpose, averaging about 5000 in each
case. To keep the nucleus of the force of
men at these stations, small work should
be constantly under way and proper store
houses should be erected to keep sufficient
quantity Of material on hand. Besides
the long list of vessels purchased by the
Government for use as auxiliary cruisers,
the report says that ten vessels were ac-
cepted by the Government by builders
during the last fiscal year. These were
the Iowa, Helena, Nashville, Wilmington,
Annapolis, Marietta, Newport, Vicksburg,
Foote and Wheeling. Progress made On
the vessels in course of construction has
been very satisfactory. The work on the
battleships has been held back to great
degree by the impossibility of procuring
armor when it was needed.

has been found on Chitna river, 175 miles
from the mouth of the Copper river, ana
a party of fifteen will remain there over
winter to prospect for the main copper
deposit. Nicholi Knast, chief Of the Cop
per River Indians, claims to know the ex-
act location Of copper deposit, but he re-
fused offers of several hundred dollars to
guide people to its location. Indians use
copper for making bracelets and other or
naments, as we'll as for cooking utensils,
and the chief claims the whites will limit
the supply and thereby deprive many In
dams from means of making livelihood.

Dead Hands ON the Lever.

When night express train No. -, east
bound, arrived at Susquehanna, Pa, the
other night the engineer, Henry Kingsley
of Susquehanna, was found dead in the
cab with his head badly crushed. After
the train left Binghamton, twenty-three
miles west of there, trainmen and others
noticed that the engineer failed to give the
usual signals at crossings and at small sta
tons and that the train was running at
an unusual speed. Fireman Cowen no.
ticed that the whistle was not blown for
Susquehanna and, going forward into the
cab, found the dead engineer. The train
had run at terrific speed for twenty miles
without an engineer. Over 200 passen-
gers were on board. 1t is supposed that
the engineer was hit by water crane at
point just east of Binghamton.

were eminently satisfactory, proving tba

aggregate an enormous sum. In low,
alone. during 1896, it is estimated the hon
raisers lost through the ravages of the dis
ease $15, 900. 600. Scores of remedies haya
been tried. but nothing even approyima,
ing specific for the disease has ever been
discovered until the Department Of Agr,,
culture began it's experiments.
Summarizing the results Of the exner;,
ments, DIR. Salmon said 80 per cent of tha
hogs treated in droves have been saved
while in the droves affected with cholera
and not given the serum treatment quite
80 per cent were lost.
Last year the experiments were conduct,
ed in Page County, Iowa, the results
showing loss Of only 20 per cent of the
affected droves. This year the exper,
ments have been extensive and far-reacn,
ing. The bureau treated 922 hogs Or
these ITO died, the number saved being 81
out Of every 100. The loss was only 10
per cent. The animals comprised seven,
teen droves, and of these six drOyes lost
only one hog each. On the other hand
1.1O7 hogs in other droves We're served
and not subjected to the serum treatment
Of these $40 died, showing loss of 1913
hogs out of every 100. Speaking of the
treatment, DIR. Salmon said:
"There is no question of the effective,
ness of the serum treatment. Our opera
tons have been viewed with skeptcism,
but the serum treatment for hog cholera IS
no longer an experiment. 1t is proved
success and undoubtedly will save to the
farmers of the United States millions Of
dollars every year.
The cholera serum is procured by keep,
ing apart for treatment an ANIMAL horse
or cow-and injecting into its blood small
amount of the blood Of a cholera-disoaSed
hog. This will sicken the subject, but he
will recover, when another dose will be
administered, and so ON time after time
until finally his blood becomes 50 mpreg-
mated as to render him radically cholera
proof. Then his blood is let and the c0t
drawn off, leaving the thin, yellowish por-
ton, which is the serum. This is used to
inject into the diseased hogs and operates
to- render them likewise cholera proof. or
even cures them of the disease after ii has
developed.

PRESIDENTS PROCLAMATION,
Fixes Thursday, Nov. "a, for Thanks
giving Day.


President Mckinley has issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
The approaching November brings to
mind the custom of our ancestors halloWed
by time and rooted in our most sacred ira
ditions, of giving thanks to Almighty God
for all the blessings he has youchsdfed 10
US during the last year.
Few years in our history have afforded
such cause for Thanksgiving. We have been
blessed by abundant haryeSts our trade anu
commerce have been wonderfully increased,
our public credit has been improved and
strengthened, all sections Of our common
country have been brought together ana
knitted into closer bonds of national pur,
pose and unity.
The skies have been for time darkened
by the cloud of war, but as We're COM
PEELED to take UP the sword in the cause OF
humanity we are permitted to rejoice that
the conflict has been of brief duration and
the losses we have had to mourn, Though
grieyOus and important, have been 50 few,
considering the great results accomplished
as to inspire us with gratitude and praise
to the Lord of Hosts. We may laud and
magnify his holy name that the cessation
of hOstilities came so soon as to spare both
sides the countless SORROWS and disasters
that attend prOtracted war.
l do therefore invite all my fellow Cit
Zens, as we'll those at home as those who
may be at sea or sOjourning in foreign lands,
to set apart and observe Thursday, the 24th
day OF November, as a day Of national
Thanksgiving, to come together in their sey-
eral places of worship for service of praise
and thanks to Almighty God for. all the
blessings of the year, for the mildness Of
the seasons and the fruitfulness of the soil.
for the continued prosperity of the people,
for the devotion and valor of our country
men, for the glory of our victory and the
hope of righteous peace, and to pray that
the divine guidance which has brought rs
heretofore to safety and honor may be gra-
clously continued in the years to come.
