Uncle Morg Binder and his wife,
Aunt Peggy" said John Gilbert, the
travelling groceryman, land so, being
in their neighborhood the last time l
was going through that part of the
hemlock belt, l pulled out of my way,
and drove over to see them. Uncle Morg
was hanging over the bars of the pas
ture lot at the turn of the back road,
looking very distressed, as came along
that way.
"'Hullo.' he said. Say, John, Buster
has done it at last!'
"'Done it?' said I. Not died?'
"'Diedn said Uncle Morg. Lord, no!
Worse than that! He's given us grounds
for havin' doubts about him! And woe

"'Uncle Morg,' said I, Buster hasn't
run away with Aunt Peggy, or kicked
her out of the wagon, or done anything
of that sort?'
Worse than that, John!' said Uncle
Morg. He steered us agin bunco
game! That's what he's done!'
In the first place 1 must tell you
about Buster. Buster was a mule-a
little mouse-colored mule-that had
been in the Binder family so many
years that his age was forgotten. He
was the autocrat of the Binder prem
ises. His chief duty was to haul Uncle
Morg and Aunt Peggy when they
wanted to go visiting or to town to
trade. That is, Buster hauled them if
he hadn't made up his mind to differ
ent course. They never knew whether

community was arrayed against him
to a unit, but his trial found him more
in favor. Kunkel, accompanied by his
daughter and sisters of both his de-

PRIZE CASES.
Navy department Pushing Forward the
Settlement of Such Claims.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 2.-The
Navy Department is pushing the settle
ment of the prize cases growing out of
the late war as rapidly as possible, and
the Judge Advocate General has sent to
the Auditor of the Treasury for the navy
the claims of the Nashville and Marble
head, for the seizure of the Argonaut, and
the Mar'biehead Resolute and Annapolis
for the seizure of the Adula.
These are sent forward for preliminary
adjustment only as the final Judgment of
the prize courts in the cases have not yet
been certified to the Navy Department.
The department has adopted this practice
in order to facilitate the final settlement
of the cases, for it permits the auditor to
examine them and have everything in or
der for speedy decision as soon as the
final judgments are sent to him.

Shortly after two o'clock yesterday
afternoon the police at Bellaire figured
in quite lively chase after w. S.
Van Horn, of Rose Hill, the well-known
brakeman in the B. & o. railroad yards
at Benwood Junction, who was en-
deayoring to elude the authorities for
the sake of fine of So and costs which
had been imposed upon him by Mayor
Freese, for assault and battery. Some
very interesting proceedings ensued.
Van Horn was arrested yesterday
forming by Marshal Johnston on the
charge of assault and battery preferred
by his wife, and was given hearing
before the Mayor shortly before two
O'Clock yesterday afternoon, and fined
So and costs. The prisoner, while sit
ting in the court room, observed two
other B. & o. employees standing at the
southeast corner of Belmont and Thir-
ty-second streets, which point is oppo-
site the city building, and asked the
court for permission to go and borrow
from the parties a sufficient amount OF
money for payment of the fine. The
court, relying upon his word, granted
the request, and Van Horn repaired to
the opposite side Of the street, closely
watched by Marshal Johnston, and en-
gagged himself in conversation with the
two B. & 0. employees. 1t was quite
evident that Van Horn received no en-
couragement in the matter from the two
men, for he started off suddenly on a
cxrr ~I1y, mo or
second street, south through Cherry al
ley, east along Thirty-first street and
finally wound up his sprinting perform
ance by jumping into the river and
swimming toward the West Virginia
side. Marshal Johnston quickly fol-
lowed the fleeing man, firing three
shots UP into the air as he went. Later
he was joined by other policemen and
large numbers of citizens at various
points along the course, and when the
blue coats" reached the river bank
there was a crowd of people numbering
about five hundred, following closely
at their heels. Van Horn plunged into
the river at point above the B. & O.
bridge, and after swimming out about
forty feet from shore, found it impos-
sible to continue his flight and started
to return to the Ohio side. After float
ing down stream short distance he
ceased to make Roadway in any dlrec-
ton, owing to the strong current in
the river at this point. and began to
call loudly and pitifully for help. Les
ter Long, who was at the Bellaire
wharfboat at the time, went to the res
cue in a skiff, and succeeded in releas-
ing Van Horn from his perilous posi-
ton with considerable difficulty On
reaching the bank he was taken to the
lookup, we'll guarded by three trium-
plant guardians Of the law, Marshal
James S. Johnston and Officers Ma
hone and Sheppard.
1t is likely that Van Horn will be
taken to the county Jail at st. Glars
vile some time during the day to serve
time sentence. While proceeding
down the river bank, Van Horn took
number of tumbles, and sustained
bad cut on his left hand. He had quite
narrow escape from being drowned.
