SATAN'S KINGDOM.
[From the Hartford Colrant.l

iEfOn the hartford COITant.
The Central New England road re-
moved about six hundred tons of dan
gerOus rocks in Satans Kingdom Sun
day. This section is about two miles
this side of New Hartford, and it is
very wild. There is just room enough
for the tracks Of the Central New Eng
land and the Northampton roads and
the Pennington river, and the bed of
the river is filled with rocks. It is the
widest spot on the line. About two
months ago q tracknlan discovered a
bOWlder on the track that had been
dislOdged from oVerhanging cliffs. If
the trackman had not been attending
to his business there would have been a
terrible accident.
The frost had caused masses of rock
to become dislOdged, and there were
gaps of six inches in some of the places.
Sunday the Central New England road
had a gang of one hundred men work
ing at the place to remove all the rock
that was liable to fall During the
week holes were drilled for dynamite.
The most agile men scaled the cliff and
barred out all the pieces that We're loose
enough. They clambered over the cliff
in all directions, held by ropes let down
from above, and some who We're 125
feet below them watching the work had
the shivers. The rocks that had been
IOosened and could not be removed
We're rent aSunder by dyna mite. The
largest rock that came down weighed
a about one hundred tons, and its length
was % feet. When this stone came down
the noise could be heard a mile away.
The tracks had been taken I'D and old
rails put down for the day. as it was
necessary to remove the rock as fast
as it came down. Some of the large
pieces broke the rails.
Satan's Kingdom is now safe from
any of the Overhanging rocks, as all the
rocks that were in any degree danger
Gus have been removed. 1t is the first
time that rocks have been removed
from cliff along the road since the
road was built.

The Lamp Registered Total Of

New York. Nov. S-The Jeffries-Shar-

character. Scientific men who watched
the struggle under the glare Of electric
lights and in an atmosphere at almost in
fernal heat hint at possibilities in the
way of badness and sore eyes in which
not only the two fighters, but all front

When Jeffries and the sailor face each
other again there is a cheerful possibility
that both their heads will be as barren
of hair as a brace of polished billiard

WARY ENGLAND.
She Has No Intention of Being
Caught Mapping.

New York, Nov. S.-A special to the
Times from Montreal says: England
does not intend to be taken unawares
in any move that may be made in the
Pacific as a result of a possible com
bination of two or more hostile powers
against her interests in that quarter of
the globe. 1t is learned that a strong
detachment of marines, whose sailing
from England was not announced, will
arrive at Halifax on the day after, en-
route to Esquimalt, B. c., the strongest
British stronghold and naval base in
the Pacific ocean. The Qualifications at
ESquimalt are also undergoing cOnsid-
cradle Strengthening and enlargement,
and large number of heavy guns have
recently been shipped across the CONT
nent to be mounted at that fortress.
The reason for the hurried strength
ening of Esquimalt lies in the appre-
hensiOn of the imperial government
that Russia, may seize the opportunity
of the BOer war TO attack England in
the east. Recent concerted action of
the Russian and French fleets in the
Mediterranean which drew out a pro-
test from Great Britain, taken into
conjunction with significant utterances
have led the British war Office to de-
termine the precautionary steps of
which the strengthening of ESQuimalt
and Halifax form a part.
The actual strength of the force of
marines now on their way to EsquimaIt
is not known. They are being conveyed
by a steamer, the Carthagenian Of the
Allan line, specially chartered for the
purpose.
A number of marines will be left at
Halifax, but the bulk will go to Esqui-
malt,

a few things that have not been men

w. L. Sherburne, would have died on

very sick when the Tartar left Manila,
but through the heroic devotion of I.

ship. SherburEe was placed in a hos

Mr.. Mckinney said he should. and he
would care for him. He was to be left
there, but at the last moment a road
cart was got and a dead Iope of the
horse for some miles took SheFburne to
the cars The majority of the soldiers
in Sherburne's car were not of his COM

which will be in five districts Of the

All the churches of these districts will

of which occurs Wednesday evening,

day evening of the same week. Every
effort will be made to make these dis
tr1ct meetings profitable for themselves,
and an efficient means of widening the
notice of the subsequent mass meetings
which follow in the First Presbyterian
church.

FORGER HAS NO HANDS.
Uses Pen Held Between His Teeth
to Make Signatures.

Chicago, Nov. s.-A man without hands
is under arrest in Chicago for forgery. A
skillful imitation of the handwriting of E.
E. Rogers 297 South Central Park avenue,
to whom a. postOffice money order had
been sent from BarabOo, Wis, was found
in the archives of the pOstOffice. The in
spectOrs went out looking for the fOrger,
and returned after a week 5 pursuit with
Charles L. Borg, Thirty-second and State
streets.
The postal detectives were at a loss to
know what to do. The forged pOStOffice
money order had been traced to Borg. A
few Years ago Borg was the victim Of a
railroad accident, and he lost his left hand
and his entire right arm. He conducts a
small mail order business at Thirty-Sec-
Ond and State streets. He gets his mail
at a printing office in the Times building.
E. z. Rogers also gets his mail at the
same place.
The money order with the forged sig
nature was got out and studied 1t was
embelliShed with the name e E ROg-
ers in a. fine, bold hand. Rogers is a pen
man who filings hOurishes when he writes
his name.
The fOrger had thrown the same sort of
hOurishes in affiXing the necessary sigma
ture in order to get possession of the
sum Of Sc in which amount the order was
payable.
When Farrell asked Borg who did his
writing for him the latter asked Tor a pen
Borg put forward his mouth and, with a
dexterOus movement of his neck, caught
the pen between his teenth, where he adj
justed it to a patse that suited him. He
then sat down to desk and wrote his
dashing dOurishes. Borg confessed to the
forgery, then dashed off the signature
again and leaned back and looked at it
with a show of pride.
