CAPT. ENGLISH'S HORSE
Returns Home Safely After Several
Long Journeys.

Capt. William f. English was greatly
gratified yesterday at the arrival from
Santiago. Cuba, after nearly two years
absence, of the horse which he rode during
the Santiago campaign. He is a handsome
seal brown gelding who has had quite an
experience as a traveller and warrior dur
ing his absence. having made two long
railroad trips, two sea voyages, served in
the army and been under fire. When Cap
tain English entered the service he pur-
chased the horse from Horace Wood and
Immediately shipped him to Tampa, Fla.
in charge Of orderly William Reed, who
accompanied Captain English to Cuba. Ar
irving at Tampa he was promptly trans
ferred to the transport Allegheny with a
number of other horses belonging to the
officers of General Wheeler's staff and car
ried away to Cuba, where, at Siboney, he
was pushed into the sea and made to swim
about quarter OF a mile to shore.
During the engagement of July 1 before
Santiago the explosion of "A shell near him.
which killed and wounded several men
and gave Colonel Roosevelt a scratch on
the wrist, caused him to and fall with
and upon Captain English, injuring him
dangerously internally The horse was
slightly touched on the shoulder by a small
piece of shell but escaped injury. Captain
Englishs serious injuries sent him to the
hospital where. being complicated with
subsequent Illness, the surgeons i'm charge
sent him home on a hospital transport as
the only hope of saving his life Being un-
able at the time to bring the horse with
him, Captain English presented him to the
faithful and attentive surgeon. who had
his case in charge. MAJ. +. j. Combe, as
sistant surgeon of the headquarters hos
pital at General Skaters Headquarters.
Major Combe became very much attached
to Santiago. as the horse had been
named. and wrote Captain English some
six months ago that If he ever had TO give
him up he wanted TO return him TO Captain
English. as he could not bear to see him
sc into the hands of strangers. Major
COmbe has been stationed at Santiago ever
since the war until a few days ago, when
he was suddenly ordered to the Philip
pines and Immediately cabled Captain
English that he would bring the horse with
him as far as New York and requesting
him to have representative there to re-
ceive him. On last Friday DR.. Combc tele-
graphed his arrival in New York and Cap
tain English Immediately sent the same
man who had charge of the horse I'm Cuba
on after him.

quarters IN Woods stables, none the worse

THREE MEN ARRESTED.
Charge Is Passing Counterfeit Dol
lars i'm This City.

George Ellis, Harry Young and Ed Kelly,
who were arrested by the police Thursday
night on the charge of passing counterfeit
dollars, were turned over TO the custody
of the United States marshal yesterday
and taken before Commissioner Moores for
a preliminary hearing. Each of them
pleaded not guilty to the charge and were
required to give bond in the sum of $500
each for their appearance before Commits
sioner Moores to-day, the hearing having
been postponed until 3 o'clock this after
noon.
In default of the bond the prisoners were
taken to the Jail. 1t is thought by the au-
thorities that the prisoners are parties who
have long been wanted by the police in this
city and other places for counterfeiting.
1t is said that the spurious dollars alleged
to have been passed by the accused are
the best limitations of the genuine article
ever seen in Indianapolis.

MAY HAVE TROUBLE.
Carpenters and Contractors Are Yet
Far Apart.

The threatened trouble between the union
carpenters and the contractors seems as
far from being settled now as at any time
since the agitation began. Last night at
the regular business meeting of the union
an unusual number of men attended, and
they were closeted together for some time
After the meeting one of the members said
il was his opinion that the matter would
have to be settled personally with the con-
tractors, the latter showed no dispo-
sition to meet the union on equal terms or
treat with IL in any way. The contractors
had failed to respond to the invitations
sent them by the Carpenters Union for a
consultation Wednesday night. and since
that time they have paid little attention to
the demands of the union. IL was said.

The keeper feeds the hippopotamus
with bran balls. Punch is fond OF
these. They are rolled up and tossed
far into his internal economy before he
can close his jaws
"A short time ago this keeper got
funny and teased Punch by holding a
ball of the coveted morsel close to
his nose, where he could get the sweet
SAVIOR of it. and then jerking it out of
his reach This was not a pleasing
performance for Punch, and in many
ways peculiar to his kind he showed
it. He lay down in his tank and
held his nose low. and when the keep
er held out the bran ball he pretended
to be Indifferent or asleep. Seeing
this the keeper became careless and
began rubbing the bran ball about
Punch's nose Here is where Punch
showed the cunning of ancestry, and,
waiting his chance, grabbed the keep

'Wowwow-wow.' yelled the
keeper.
"'Whu-u-owa-a-a-h.' snorted Punch
in great delight
After enjoying the situation for a
minute or more and winking his eye
knowingly he eased up on Spencers
hand, so that the latter could get it
back to its original ownership. Punch
then slid back into his tank of water
and the noise that rufiied the surface
indicated that he was having a jolly
good laugh underneath at the expense
of Spencer.

as If it were lighted from its depths
