A GIANT PRISONER FIGHTS.
He DisabIes n Deputy sheriff and
SevcrnI Others.

Several Others.
NEW YORK. March 3.-Broken heads,
lattened noses, fractured jaws, and black
eyes marked the passage OF Adam
MaTcheniusa from the County Court room
TO the cells in the basement OF the Court
House in Long Island City last evening.
The stature and strength OF Marcheniusa
are formidable. He is a Pole.
The house Of Max Ruben in Maspeth,
was robbed on January3. 8. Detective Peter
Kelly and James McGin of Lon, island
City, were put on the case and fastened
the crime on the huge Pole. He was
arrested, tried before County Judge Moore,
and found guilty Of burglary in the third
degree.
Marcheniusa was a. aligned for sentence
yesterday evening. hen asked II he had
anything TO say in his own behalf he ele-
waited his right hand. and in an impressive
voice and confusing dialect accused De-
tective Kelly Of murder. In addition he
volunteered TO guide the judge to the grave
Of Kelly's victim.
Judge Moore sentenced Marcheniusa TO a
term Of one year in the Kings County
Penitentiary. Deputy Sheriff Richard
Burke was standing at the Poles elbow in
readiness to conduct him to the Jail in the
basement.
Marcheniusa turned slowly. made a
quick feint with his left and landed his
right hand on the point Of Burke's Jaw.
Burke went down and took the count.
while MarcheEiusa made a break FOR the
door. He was stopped by Under Sherin
Methven and other officers. but kept un
his fighting tactics and In a moment the
court room was the scene Of a free for all
fight.
The powerful arms Of Marcheniusa pro-
PEELED his fists into the visages Of the
astunished and indignant officers Of the
law. With such vigor did he apply him
sell that for few seconds they could do
little else than hold on TO him Force Of
numbers eventually caused him to subside.
and he was led away to his cell by Deputy
Sheriff Burke. The other sherifs and Off
GERS went along.
When he reached hi. cell the officers Of
the law were close at hand Reaching IN
der his mattress Marcheniusl extracted a
short club. which he had procured in some
unaccountable manner, and with this he
proceeded TO do execution.
The first man reached was Deputy
Sheriff Burke who went down under the
Impact OF a blow. Before the Pole was
finally overpowered he had managed 10
injure most Of his guardians. He threat
ems TO clean out the jail ;efore he starts
for the Kings County PeIitentiary.

A DENVER MANS BoER BIBLE.
1t T. in the Dutch Language, and
once Belonged TO the JoubertS.

IT rom lIc Boston Arlooe-)
Perhaps the Only copy OF the Beer Bible
in the country is in the possession Of Peter
NJ. Campbell, Of Denver. The Bible is in
the Dutch language and was published in
the Netherlands. as Is announced in the
preface. in 1919. Mr.. Campbell. who is the
son OF Sir Duncan Campbell, Of Scotland,
came -ntO possession Of the volume some
eighteen years ago, at the time Of the first
Boer war. He was acting as a newspaper
correspondent at the time and remained
in the Transvaal for five years.
During his residence there be bought
the book from a minister Of the gospel
named Hoxmeyre, who gave the following
account Of its history:
The book was, for long period Of years,
in the Jubert or Joubert family. OF which
the present General Joubert is a noted
member II was brought 10 Cape Town
by the first band Of Dutch emigrants and
was the second book ever taken to South
Africa. The book itself, aside from its
history. is interesting as a specimen OF
bookmaking. II is a huge volume about
u inches wide, IS inches long. and Z inches
thick. and weighs 80 pounds OF more. It
is bound in calf and the backs are boards
half an inch thick and beveled at the
edges. The corners are bound with heavy
brass pieces in front and at the back IL
is held closely by two massive brass
clasps.
In typography the volume, though nearly
800 years old, is excellent. There are
Ornamented letters at the beginning OF
each book and ornate tail pieces.
One Of the queer customs OF former
times-that OF representing biblical char
acters clad in the fashion Of the time the
book was printed-is shown in several
striking instances
In the HIumined letter at the beginning
Of Genesis Adam and Eve are represented
surrounded by animals. lions. elephants,
chickens. and ducks Adam is wearing
long mustache and vandyke beard such
as we're in fashion among courtiers Of the
seventeenth century. A tree in the same

A UNIQUE DINNER.
Pleasing Features at Annual Gather
ing of Silk Dealers of Country
Chinese Minister Speaks.

II am glad to find that it is not the
purpose of this great republic to de-
part from its traditional policy and
adopt policy of territorial aggrandize-:
ment in Asia, but that you are going
for expansion of trade there; and on
that account we welcome you," said WI
Ting Fang, the Chinese minister to the
United States, at the dinner of the Silk
Association at Delmonico's the other
night. 1t marked the society's twenty
eighth anniversary, and WI Ting Fang
made the speech of the evening.
Smooth as silk moved all the arrange
ments which went to make the feast a
jolly and picturesque affair. A curious
and mirth-proyoking feature consisted
OF more than 300 silk balloons, each
about the size of mans head, each
filled with gas and attached by short
string to the wine glasses of the diners.
AS signal for the dinner to begin,
these balloons were released all at one
time and rose at once to the ceiling,
About hundred of the guests applied
lighted matches to their balloons as
they rose, and bonb-like explosions re-
suited. 1t made a rather startling start
to the festivities, and reminded the CHI
nese minister of the adult kite-fyers of
his native land.
