Personally l know Of no other town

the morning. At st. Petersburg the
music halls, which it is the fashionable
thing to attend after the theater-a
drive to them taking half an hour in a
swift sleigh-do not practically begin

in the morning you have to literally
push your way, and the ~favorite trains

Captain Oscar Skeen and
Lieutenant Joseph Reilly.

The election Of captain in Co. K. on
August ~ resulted in the choice of Oscar
Skccn b, almost a unanimous vote. Mr..
Skcen was placed in charge of Co. K. a
few weeks ago by Adjutant General
Miller and :hc members apparently

the right place. Under MIR. Skeen the
Co. was recruited BY the addition OF OVER

commissioned oficcrs-a full Co.
Mr.. Skcen served in Co. x. as :, Nortl,
Dakota volunteer in thePhilippincs, en-.
,cring as a private and coming out a
quar,ermastsr sergeant. His record as a
| soldier is most credital,le and as E, citi-
zen he has all the traits of IN exemplary
young man.
In the election Of End lieutenant Joseph
Reilly was accorded almost the unani-
nous vote Of the company. Mr.. Reilly
is also another of our bows who saw act
ual service with Co. X. in the Philippines
working his way up from private to cor
poral. His record as a soldier is one of
which he may justly be proud.

History repeated itself in England
when the Danes and N~orwegians made
their attack upon Chester, about ten
centuries since. The town was held
by the Saxons and some Gallo allies,
who tried stones and boiling water up
on the besiegers without effect. AS a
last resource they collected all the bee
hives and upset them into the enemy's
camp beneath the city wall.
This had the effect of making things
"hum," so to speak, and it is recorded
that the enemy were so badly stung
that they could move neither arms nor
legs.

trial of Caleb Powers, charged with

since the hearing OF the testimony be-
gan nearly two weeks ago. The tes-
timony was nearly all corroborative.

told of conversation between John
Powers and herself on Jan. 16. They
were regretting the Colson-Scott

Canton. o., July 25.-Callers arc
rapidly increasing in number at the
Mckinley home in this city. Scarcely
a moment passes from early morning
until late at night but that one or more
persons may be seen on the porch
awaiting an audience. Those who
come to pay their respects are still
in the majority, but those asking at
tention on personal matters are rapid
ly increasing. AS the presidents time
is largely taken up with matters per-
tanning to the Chinese problem his
callers frequently have long waits.
Ohio state officials, Republican can
didates and members OF the Republi-
can committees. headed by Governor
Nash, are expected here on Saturday.
Chairman Dick, Of the Ohio state
Republican committee, arrived yes
terday afternoon to talk over a num-
ber of matters with President Nc
Kinley and to arrange for the visit.
Chairman Dicks conference with the
president lasted an hour. At the con-
clusion the former said they talked
over matters concerning the campaign.
but there was nothing to announce.
Asked as to the coming of the Ohio
officials, candidates and committee
men Saturday, Chairman Dick said
the party will come if the president is
here to receive them at that time, but
there is a possibility that the president
will then be in Washington on ac-
count OF matters connected with the
Chinese situation.
Did the president intimate an early
departure?" was asked.

But il he is to undertake mediation

RAILROAD ROBBERS RUN DOWN:
ELEVATOR DESTROYED BY FIRE
Cang Had Been Dealing in Stolen Brass for Nearly Two
Years -Ihrpe-QuarteT Of Million Dollars
Go Up in Smoke

Wilkesbarre, Pa, July 25.-Railroad
detectives stationed at Wilkesbarre.
Wiiliamsport, Elmira and Rochester
have just succeeded i'm running down
n gang that have been systematically
roDbing the railroads for nearly two
years past. Within the last year large
quantities Of brass, valued at thou
sands OF dollars, have been stolen from
the pennsylvania, Lehigh Valley, Della
ware and Hudson. Lackawanna and
Central Railroad Of New Jersey.
Last March the detectives in the en-
ploy OF these roads held a conference,
and II was agreed 10 make a concerted
effort TO run down the thieves. It was
discovered that large shipments Of the
stolen brass were being made from
Wilkesbarre, a great deal of it being
sent to Rochester, N. Y. The party
to whom the goods were consigned in
that city was taken into the confidence
OF the detectives, and this caused the
shippers 10 fall into q neat trap. The
stolen brass, instead of going to its des-
tination. was shipped to Williamsport.
where It was taken charge of by the
Pennsylvania railroad officials. The
shippers, however. we're none the wiser.
They received the money just the same.
In order to throw off suspicion a couple
OF shipmenKs were allowed TO 60
through to their destination, the detec-
tives having learned that some brake
men were acting as spoilers for the
shippers.
John Fisher. a we'll known junk
dealer Of this city. was taken into Gus
tody yesterday and released on S1,500
bail Two other junk dealers, Anthony
Steiner and Samuel Steiner were held
in $500 bail. More arrests are expected
to follow in Wiliamsport. Elmira and
Rochester. It is said that one of the
parties, who was a heavy shipper Of
the stolen brass. has made a confession
which exposes the whole plot.

Buffalo, July 25.-Fire last night de-
stroyed the Eastern elevator which
is situated on the island opposite the
foot Of Washington street. The ele-
vator and its contents were valued al
S15O,OOO, and are a total loss. The
cause of the fire was not learned
There was no explosion preceding the
fire. Carpenters and painters had been
at work in the building, and it is nos
sible that some one Of them dropped a
match
The elevator was owned by the
American Linseed company, who came
into possession OF the building only a
few weeks ago. Their oil works are
situated within 100 feet of the burned
elevator. When it was seen that there
was no chance to save the elevator the
nremen turned their attention to save
adjoining property. Streams of water
We're played continually on the oil
tanks and the buildings Of the refinery.
Fortunately the wind was blowing in
an opposite direction, and this fact
probably prevented a far more serl-
GUS connagration.
Ihe nre was a difficult one 10 fpht
as II started in the upper part of the
elevator and gradually burned down
ward until the entire building was de-
stroyed, The intense heat made II
impossible for the nremen to enter the
building, and the streams thrown no

ANOTHER YACHTING FATALITY:
BORDER METHODS in Chicago
Three Children Dead and Four Others Injured One Fa-

Up Big -Four Train

Syracuse, July 25.-Through the eX-
plosion Of a steam tube connecting
with the boiler in the steam yacht
Trilby, owned and commanded by
Fred. L. Sphinx, of Serbia, Oswego
county, three young children lost their
lives. one more was frightfully scald-
ed and three older people were more or
less burned here at o'clock yester-
day afternoon. The dead are: Eve
Sphinx, years old; Gladys Sphinx, z
years; Fern Sphinx, years. Wounded:
Capt. Fred. Sphinx, left arm and hand
scalded; Mrs. Fred. Sphinx, scalded
about legs and abdomen; Herald
Sphinx, aged A. frightfully burned all
over the body; Mrs Jay Kelsey, slight
ly scalded from the knees down. Her
aid Spink's life is despaired of, but the
others injured will recover.
The Trilby was about to pass
through a lock near the city limits
when the accident happened. Without
the slightest warning a flue in the up
per row of boiler tubes loosened, and
the scalding steam forced open the
door of the irebox, and carrying hot
coal ashes and acids with it flew all
over the passengers.
The victims were tenderly lifted
ashore, large pieces of flesh dropping
from their bodies. The children were
wrapped in blankets and taken to a
hospital Eva and Gladys Sphinx died
almost simultaneously at 7.40 O'Clock
lrst evening and the death Of Fern
followed few hours later.
