Pent Up Waters Released at Lockport,

Lockport, Ills. Jan. 1s.-With an ac-
compartment of cheers the bear trap
dam at this point was lowered in the
forenoon at 1:16 o'clock, and the pent-
up waters from the drainage canal
rushed through with roar as IL to en-
plastic the fact that the connection
between the chain of great lakes and
the Gulf Of Mexico is now fact. Con-
siderable excitement attended the
opening Of the canal beyond this point,
as the trustees of the drainage board
were In fear that an injunction writ
would be served at the last moment
restraining them from opening the
works. Beyond an informal introduce
tory speech from President Bolden-
week and few remarks from Colonel
Isaac Taylor, chairman of the state
inspection commission, no formalities
or ceremony marked the completion of
the greatest artificial water way in the
world.
The bear trap was then lowered and
the waters of the Chicago river rushed
into the Desplaines river and started
on their journey to the Gulf of Mexico,
The gates at the sides of dam, which
are to be used for regulating the flow,
were not opened when the dam was
lowered, and may be kept closed for
some time. The flow over the dam
was between 100000 and 100000 cubic
feet per minute, and when the gates
are opened this flow will be largely In
creased.

EVIL DOORS TRAPPED.
They Are All Anxious to Hear from the
Woman They Love.

From the Indianapolis News: ut is
queer what risks some men will take
to get a letter from a woman they
love-" said John Edmunds of the gen
eral delivery department of the post
office. Criminals who can be found in
no other way are often arrested when
they call for mail at the general de-
livery window. Generally, the men
call for letters written by some wom-
an. Along close to the holidays last
year a Pinkerton detective came to The
office and waited for three days and
nights for a man wanted in the East,
who was supposed to be in this city.
The detective knew that before the
murder he was accused of committing
the man haa correspondent with Wom-
an in the East. The detective had been
waiting three days, when he received
word to go to Columbus, Ohio, as there
was a letter at that office for the man.
He went, and had not been there long
when the man made his appearance.
The detective arrested him at once
and proceeded to Cleveland, where the
prisoner was tried and sentenced to
death. Another instance was where
not long ago the authorities were look
ing for man accused of committing
some big crime and had no elew at all
as to where he was; SO every Office In
the country was sent word to look out
Tor a letter for that man. Some time
after one came to our Office and we at

WHERE TWO WOMEN LIVED.

Members of Sex.

Capt Mckenzie of Philadelphia has
encountered in his maritime wander
ings a place where only two women
have ever lived Lying at pier No. 13,
Port Richmond, Philadelphia, dis
charging her cargo of $50 tons OF
chrome ore, is the trim little Halifax
schooner Satellite, commanded by
Capt Mckenzie, man who has ex-
perienced many thrilling adventures
while navigating the Newfoundland
coast, whence this vessel came with
her cargo. The Satellite came from
settlement in Newfoundland known as
Bluff Head, situated thirty miles east
southeast from Port au Port, and
place where but two women ever were
known to live Capt Mckenzie says
that the chrome ore mines were dis
covered only three years ago. They
are now worked by British and Ameri-
can capitalists The ore on board the
Satellite is valued in its crude state in
excess of $50 a ton, and is the richest
grade which ever has been brought
into Philadelphia, owing to the limit
ed facilities for vessels reaching the
place. the largest cargo that has ever
been shipped is 900 tons and at that
time the vessel was seven weeks load
ing. The mines from which this ore
is taken are situated on the tops Of
cliffs rising 500 feet above the level Of
the sea, and Capt. Mckenzie had to
work his vessel in and anchor her
under these cliffs on a shoal area con-
tanning six fathoms of water The
method of loading is primitive, the ore
being conveyed down the mountain
side in small wagons drawn by power
full horses. From the shore it Is
