Middletown, n. Y. Dec. 27.--After a sep

had been sent TO the Susquehanna Valley
Home ait Binghanton.
When the disconsolate father visited
the home TO see his children he learned
that his 2-year-old baby girl. Lizzie, had
been taken out of the institution and
he was unable TO gain any further In
formation.
Mr.. Schaeffer returned to his home with
his two other children. Since that time
the father has lived IN ignorance OF Lizzie.
Supervisor w. H. Nearpass OF Deer Park

have been rewarded by finding the miss

A Jolly little dance was that at the
Agawam Hunt club last night under the
patronage OF Mrs. Walter f. Angel, Mrs
Walter A. Peck. Mrs. William ii. Thur
ber and Mrs. r. Mason
The dance was given by 80 young men
who invited 80 young women, and was a

the young people. and the dance was
managed by a committee of FIVE: Mr..
Padelford Taft. Mr.. Studley Hart, Mrs.
Edith Waterman, Miss Marguerite Peck
and Miss Marguerite Thurber.
Supper was served by Brayman of the
club and afterwards the young people
had a german with very dainty little fa-
yors, trimmed with holly.
Last night Mrs. Harriet +. Brownell

for her daughters. the Misses Brownell,
at Mrs. Spink's assembly rooms. The

SUCTION or A FAST TRAIN.

The theory that a moving train car
ries along an enveloping air is very inter-
esting," said an engineer, "and / believe
there is good deal or truth I'm It, first
had my attention attracted 10 the subject
by curious incident that happened sew
eral years ago" says the Philadelphia
Inquirer. ''at crossing near Birming-
ham. Ala, where trains pass twiee a day
at a speed OF about 40 miles an hour The
tracks are seven feet apart and there
would seem 10 be ample room TO stand
between them In safety between two
trains. One day terrier dog belonging
To section boss was asleep in the middle
space and woke up just as the train
closed In from each side. There was q
barrel on the ground near by and the dog
In his fright jumped on top of IL. That

ing envelopes of air; at any rate, he was
whirled of his feet and thrown clear TO
the roof OF the opposite car, where he
was subsequently found, tammet against
ventilator chimney, with no injury ex-
cept a broken leg. How in the world he
ever made such journey and escaped
alive is mystery. unless his fall was
deadened by cushion of air.
"Apropos Of atmospheric pressure. Il is
well known fast that there is vortex
space, or zone of suction directly be-
hind any rapidly moving train, and its
presence accounts for a grotesque hap
pening that took place some time ago on
the Southern Pacific. While the Califor-
nia-bound express wos going through
Western Arizona at slipping gait pas
senger who was on the verge of the Hm-
jams rushed out TO the real platform,
climbed on rail and jumped off. lie was
wearing very long linen duster and q
muscular tourist who happened TO be on
the platform at the time grabbed ii by
the tails as IL sailed by and yelled for
help. When some of the others ran to his
assistance they found the lunatic
stretched straight out in the air behind
the platform. moving like Comanche,
but safely anchored by mis- duster. whicl
had turned inside out and caught him at
the shoulders. The muscular gentleman
was hanging on for dear life, but had IL
not been for the fact that the would-be
suicide was virtually sustained and car
ried along by the suction OF the vortex
space something would certainly have
given way. They reeied the man In like
a kite and he promised to be good. We
have very little exact knowledge at pres
ent of the atmospheric conditions that
surround moving train. A fuller knowl-
edge of them may lead to the solution OF
some battling problems in traction"

Was Mr.. mckinley Fined for Nothing?

Mandan Pioneer: If Mr.. Patrick Nc
Ginley had a chance to appeal from the
decision Of the Supreme court in ining
him $50 for alleged contempt, he would
not feel so badly. He is satisfied that he
is not guilty, and that he has been fined
for nothing. When he attended the pro-
cecdings against Mr.. Simpson at Dickin-
son he was asked a question the answer
he thought might tend to criminate him.
He was told by one attorney to answer,
another attorney told him that he need
not answer, and the referee would not
give opinion one way or the other. So
Mr.. Mckinley not knowing the legal
effect of his answer, declined to answer.
Therefore he was fined $50 by the
supreme court. This may be honest
justice but there seems to be an honest
difference of opinion with reference to it,
