broke through while trying TO regain firm ice.
The Nolan girl, at the risk of her life rushed

STAGE CoACH HELD UP.

Glens Falls, Aug 15.-The Adiron- .dack stage coach which was held up yesterday noon a few miles above North River, contained four men and three women. The men were Edward Bernstein and J. A. Laffey of New York, Edward Marquette of Meriden, Conn and John Case of Blue Noun tain lake. The women's names were not learned. William Eldredge of North Creek was the driver. When the highwaymen shot the horses, Mar quette, who was inside concealed the bulk of his money and the robbers se- cured only $2O. The women were not molested in any way. The driver of the stage leaped to the ground and ran into the woods. He had $400 of the stage money. The men passengers, ex- cepting Marquette. followed after the driver and were not molested.

TESTING DR KOCHS THEORY
Chicago Health officers Try
 New Form of Inoeulation.

Dr Reilly Asserts the Disease Can Be
 Controlled Under the New Way-Men
 Who Volunteered Have Been Inoc-
 ulated With Germs from Infected
 Cows.
 Chicago, Aug 15.-Dr Koch's theory that bovine tuberculosis cannot be communicated to human beings is now being tested under the direction of the Chicago health department. Several men are undergoing the experiment of inoculation under the direction of Dr Reilly, acting commissioner of health. The experiment is made with skin tu- berculosis-lupus-a form of the dis ease which is curable and controlla- ble. Just as satisfactory test, it is asserted by Dr Reilly. can be secured by inoculating the skin of the human being with the bacillus from the ami nal as could be obtained from expert ments with pulmonary tuberculosis The one is feasible, because it does not endanger life. Because the other does it is regarded as impEaeticable. <
 The volunteers have been inoculated with the germs obtained from infected cows. Their condition a few weeks hence, it is thought, will definitely show if Dr Koch's theory is correct.

SOLDIERS HUNTING ROBBERS
The Town of Millersburg in
 Ohio Greatly Excited.

Robbers Discovered Robbing Bank By
 a Woman-They Stole Horses and
 Two Buggies and Escaped Sup
 posed to Be Hiding in a Thicket
 Fifteen Miles from the Scene of the
 Attempted Robbery.
 Millersburg, O., Aug 15.-A com pany of the Eighth regiment, Ohio Ma tional Guard, has been called out to assist in the capture of the men who tried to rob the Adams bank. The robbers are supposed to be in a dense thicket near. this city. The burglars were discovered at work by Mrs Dal- shoup, who lives in the rear. of the bank building. When she returned with endorsements the robbers had disappeared. A picket on duty near the building sounded the alarm during her absence. Near the town the thieves stole the horses and two bug gies from a farmer and continued their flight. A message came that the rigs had been found in the woods, fifteen miles west and that the thieves had concealed themselves for the night. In the excitement which followed some one called out the local company of militia. They received large reinforce ments towards evening. The watch was kept up all night.

cREscEUs AND THE ABBOT.
Race This Afternoon May Make New
 Worlds Record.

New York. August 15.-What IS looked upon as the greatest harness race in the history of the trotting morse ia on the card for the Brighton Beacn track to-day. Cresceus (2:O2A) anu The Abbot (2:O3A) will meet Tor tne first time. in a special race for $lz'ooo' trotting mile heats. the best three III five. Cresceus recently took away from The Abbott, the worlds recoru against time and while the latter mas gone the quarter at 1:56 gait, Whlcn horsemen say Cresceus cannot equal Cresceus can carry his speed further. The prospects are not bright at 1u d. m. as the weather is cloudy ana threatening, but the prophets say It will not rain. If it does not, there IS no reason why the greatest trotting event of the year should not De sen sationally fast The track Is Ill falr condition but is fully one second slow. On the other hand the champion Cres- ceus is in the pink of condition ana owner Ketcham is confident that ne will not only beat The Abbott but also the race record of 2:O5 which he made at Detroit.
 The Abbot is fit and ready. He has beaten Cresceus in the past and his owner and trainer think he can under favorable conditions go in 2:02. This will be his first public appearance this year.

THE LOST FOUND
Ship That Has Been Missing
 About a Year.
STRANDED ON ISLAND OF PIKAR

The Ship Manchester is q Total
 Wreck-It Is Thought That Wo-
 man and Several Children From the
 Wrecked Ship Landed on The Island
 --The Place is Uninhabited But The
 Crew of a Vessel Which Touched
 There Saw Signs Which Led to The
 Discovery.
 San Francisco, Aug 15-What is sup posed to be the missing ship Manches- ter. which sailed from New York on the 23d of last August with cargo of Kerosene for Yokohama, has been found. She lies total wreck on the desert island of Pikar in a marshall group. How many persons survived the loss of the vessel is not known, but it is certain that a woman and several children landed on the island
 The Manchester was four-masted steel ship of 2,S51 tons register, com handed by Captain Clemens. She was posted as missing at Lloyds on May 15, of this year.
 A private letter received on the Aus tralian steamer Sonoma relates the finding of the wreck The writer says:
 A mysterious shipwreck was re- ported from Sydney, N. $. w., July IS, by Captain Henry, of the island trad ing steamer Archer, which recently touched at Jaluit, one of the Marshall group. Here it was learned that parts of the hull of large ship and over 400 cases of kerosene had been found along the shores of the Pikar Island
 .'The island is uninhabited, but in walking along the beach the crew of the cutter came across footprints and traces which showed that some one had been there. The footprints were undoubtedly of a woman and several children. The conclusion arrived at was that portion of the crew had landed on the island, the survivors in- cluding the captains wife and family. Marks on the beach also disclosed the fact that two boats were hauled upon the beach and then subsequently launched.
 The body Of man was also found on the beach. It was badly decom- posed, but a certificate. that of the chief officer, was found In one Of the pockets and turned over to the German governor of the islands,
 In shipping circles it is said that the wreck is, probably that of the Man. chester.

TICKET BROKERS ARRESTED.
Said to Have Embedded $5O,OOO Worth
 of Tickets.

St Louis, Aug 15.-As the result of the arrest yesterday of William Clin- ton and Charles J. Leonard, ticket brokers, charged with swindling a GUS toner, a gigantic railroad ticket coun- terfeiting scheme was uncovered. After the arrest of the brokers their office was ransacked and an immense number of tickets and passes WAS found. It is almost impossible to place an estimate on the value of the Mckets recovered, but it is stated by railroad authorities that $5O,O00 would be a conservative figure.
 It is asserted that many of the tick cts and passes were forgeries. The Baltimore and Ohio, Missouri Pacific and St Louis and San Francisco lines are said to be the ones which should have the most interest in the discoy- cries made, though tickets were found in the stock from many roads. J. D. Hannegan, secretary of the western lines mileage ticket bureau and the St Louis passenger bureau, conducted the investigation and exposed a number of unique methods for beating the roads. Clinton and Leonard are to be prose .cnted under forgery statute.
