In . Peck of Trouble at Lisbon--
Obtaining Money Under
False Pretenses.

Lisbon, March ia. T. Dennis, of
Canton. Is in the clutches Of the law,
and two weeks from today he will be
compelled to appear before Judge
Boone in probate court. Dennis has
been going about the county acting
as an agent for the Commercial Fire
Insurance company, of Wilmington,
Del. The information filed by Prose
cutor Brookes charges that on July 10
last he accepted $12 from Robert Tref-
finger of Millport, processing to insure
his grocery and hardware store against
damage or loss by fire. The charge
against him is that he never secured
a license from the superintendent of
insurance to transact business for the
company in this state. Dennis was
brought into court this morning and
furnished 5000 bond.

7.-.OOD AT TOLEDO.
Situation Is Growing Alarming
lice Gorge In Imminent
Danger of Lettinq Go.

Toledo, March 15.-The flood situ-
alton here is still very uncertain. The
ice is gorged from Riverside park to the
bay extending over distance of about
five miles below the main business por-
tion of the city. Above there is a big
gorge at Waterville, and should this
break before the jam below gives way
there is certain to be trouble. The
water here is now about fourteen inches
lower than the high water mark, but
the greater part of Water street is still
submerged and a large force of men
and teams is engaged removing goods
from the storehouses along the river
front.
The electric power house ran short on
coal Thursday, and could not be reach
ed by drays, but the Pennsylvania road
succeeded in shunting some cars within
reach.
The steam barges Gilchrist and Mar
Quette were rescued from their position
and are safely moored at the docks.
Craig's shipyard is afoat. Three
Wabash grain elevators, Lake Shore

been obliged to suspend operations.
Down town sewers are backed up and

Columbus, o., March 15.-Attorney
General Sheets resurrected forgotten
statute and brought suit to enforce the
penalty of $1,000 on railroad companies
who employ conductors who have not
lad at least two years experience in
running a train. The Big Four is the

With having had Daniel Creamer in
1ts employ since 1890 as passenger con.
|Auctor, said Creamer having had no

employment. The law under which
The suit was brought was passed by
the legislature at the instance of the
Order of Railway Conductors, and Gen.

PRISONER SEVEN MONTHS.
Illinois Soldiers Interesting Experience
in the Philippines.

San Francisco, Cal, March 15.-John
L. Fox, a private of Company A, 30th
volunteer infantry, who returned with
his regiment Thursday on the transport
Hancock from Manila, spent half the
time in the Philippines as prisoner in
the hands of the Filipinos. From jan
uary 18, 1899, until September /, 1899,
young Fox was held by semi-barbarous
natives in mountain Businesses, with no
knowledge of his whereabouts or of the
intentions of his captors concerning his
own disposition. He escaped several
times, only to be recaptured. A fellow
prisoner named John Kenney, from IL
linois, also a private of the 30th was
deliberately shot by the Filipinos for
attempting to escape.
Private Fox is from Woodlawn, ILL.,,
and served in Cube before going to the
Philippines. January Is, 1899, fifty
men, comprising a pony train, were sud-
denly surrounded by Filipinos at the
mouth of ravine near Santiago hill
in southern Luzon. Most of the men
fought their way out, but Fox, Fred
Mason, Of Company c, Corporal Bon
ham and Private Miller, OF the 37th
regiment, Private Charles Worthington,
OF Company c, and private Edward
Walls, OF Company B, of the 30th, were
captured by the enemy. They were
finally released by Gen. Gallius aud
turned over to the Americans at Santa
Cruz.

schedule of values of Canton, which will
be of much use when that city is taken
up by the board. This week has been
busy one for the board. Cincinnati

the time, but aside from hearing argyll
ments against increases In taxation
little business has been transacted.

Ury cursed the witnesses who brought

Mansfield, March 15.-The hearing
of Orlando c. Wiseman, the young Can.
ton barber who Is accused of stealing
$50 from roommate, is taking place
this afternoon, and hard fight is being
made to secure his liberty. The young
man from whom the money is alleged
to have been taken, is disinclned to
prosecute, and so far as he is concerned
has dropped the case, but the officials
will not drop 1t. They seem deter
mined to make trouble for Wiseman,
though he has done nothing out of the
way since here, and has been accused
of nothing save this present offense.
The case is attracting great atten-
tion owing to the young women who
seem interested in the accused. The
case against him is purely circumstan-
tial and the girls with whom he has
found favor since his residence here,
are sticking to him closely. He has
quite case with one of the girls.
Wiseman's father arrived from Can
ton at noon and has been in consulta-
tion with Attorney James P. Seward
for some time. The attorney, while in
Canton, secured several testimonials
as to the good character Of the ac-
cused. These testimonials will be pre-
sented at the trial as tending to Offset
some of the circumstances that ap-
pear to be against the young man.
The testimonials are from Judge Geo,
e. Baldwin. Hon. James A. Rice John
c. Welty, DR.. e. d. Brant, Attorney
d. G. Hughes and Attorney c. G. Bow.
These are supplemented by statement
in the prisoners favor from Oliver
Loenhart, his former employer.
It is thought the hearing will last
all afternoon.

What is needed in most mining dis
tricts is practical work and the apply
ing of ordinary business principles to
mining operations. The Crystal river
district is no exception to the general
rule in this respect. If miners and
mine owners would prosecute work and
expend their money upon their proper
ty in a business way, following mining
as other men follow trades and other
pursuits, using the same judgment,
paying as much attention to the fin
ances, they would make mining sue
cess. If they would properly develop
their mines, put upon the best ones the
money which they annually throw away
in working assessments all over the
country, and would follow mining as
a business, there would be no lack of
mineral, no lack of employment for
1aborers, no dull times in winter, and
the Crystal river district would soon
become what by right it ought to be
and ultimately will be-one of the
greatest mineral sections in Colorado

The result Of the decision of the I'm
tied States Supreme court, in the case
of Calhoun M. Co. VS.. the Ajax M.
Co., is to finally establish the principle
that the ownership of all lodes or veins
apexing within a legally established
mining claim belong to that claim
irrespective as to whether they are
cross or parallel veins. Between two
conflicting locations the senior in time
takes all the veins apexing within the
conflicting area.

In 1880 the establishment OF the cleo
trio industry in this country began to
be of some Importance. 5eventy-six
firms, employing l27l persons, were
then established. Their output was
1865 ,036. Ten years later the firms
increased to lS9, and the number of
persons employed to 9485, while the
output was $19, la, III. In 1880 there
we're only three stations in the United
States, and only 230 persons we've en-
ployed at them. In 1880, in New York
The District OF Columbia and the city
of st. Louis there were ia electric
light and power stations, where 1000
persons were employed, and the out
put from them was valued at 81, 783, ,224.
-Four years later, in 1894. there were
2l24 central stations in the country
and 1475 separate plants. In 1900
there were 5000 central stations and
over $1,000 separate plants.

With shallow surface developments
on lode deposit it is rarely good
judgment to run long costly tunnel
to cut the lode at a great depth, says
Min. and Scientific Press. The Mexi-
can miners way, though not pretty, is
generally satisfactory in returns. His
method is to follow the ore values with
his mine openings, turning his shaft
or winze or tunnel as the ore body
changes its direction. With shallow
surface developments there is nothing
certain on which to predicate the di-
rection or the continuity of an ore
shoot developed by 2 surface cut or
shallow incline. 1t is much safer to
gain depth by successive steps. Just
how much at time is matter for
judgment in the particular case, but it
Is safe to say that 200 feet is ordinari-
~ an outside figure for the first gain
IN depth sought by tunnel. As the
lirection and continuity develop, great
er depths may be taken by successive
tunnels without increasing the chances
egainst success. To tunnel to cut q
}ode thousand feet below surface
works only fifty or so feet deep reads
nice, but it Ia not mining.
