Sir Henry that he was handsome? Poor
Sir Henry lie had no slight cause for
jealousy, and so he would have thought

from which the gases had escaped. A

having become redhot, n squirt Of flame
200 feet high was sent out, accompanied
by n tremendous roar. The column Of
fire was yellow, with fushos Of red.

Gently turns out to be Thrasher Mead,
one of the most notorious and desper-
ate criminals in the country. Mead
was arrested at Mobile and taken back
to Enterprise, but not after desperate
fight with the officers. A large guam
tity of postage stamps, blank money
orders and sl.l3s in cash stolen from
the safe in the Enterprise postotfice
were recovered. Thrasher Mead has IA
criminal record that is hardly second to
that of the notorious RUDE Burrows.
For nearly ten years he has infested
the railroads of Mississippi and Ala
bama. Mead broke into the postotlice
at Alderman in tho latter part Of 1898,
and was arrested and taken to the jail
at Aberdeen. lie sawed his way out in
December, 1896, and was next heard OF
in Chicago. In 1897 he was arrested at
Jacksonville, Fla, and taken to Kos
ciusko. While there he formed a con-
spiracy with TRUSTEES who were allowed
outside of the cage, and they overpow-
cred and chosed Sheriff McMillin and
escaped with six others. Mead is known
to have been implicated in five train
robberics and the Southern Express
Company has proof that he blew open
safes in its offices at Aberdeen and
Durant. During the past year he has
escaped from twcnty-one jails.

that very soon. We can see no reason
why the snow plow should not be set to

streets and then get to work on the
others.

tenSuPe For BeaureDnire,

London, Feb. The Paris CORE
spondent of The Daily News says: "A
more ridiculous attempt at justification
for coup d'etat cannot be found in the
annals of the nineteenth century than
NJ. de Beaurepaire's charges. 1t is i'm
possible to conceive a more miserable
farrago of senile dotage, of calumny
without proof, anonymous letters serv-
ants gossip, hearsay and military van
ity, egged on by the most powerful
clique in the world, in order to conse-
crate crime. After reading the report
one cannot avoid the conclusion that
NJ de Beaurepaire is mailman, and
wicked madman too.
