Blown From a Train by "A Hurricane,
Miss KarOus Alights in Field

From the New York World

From the New York World
Omaha, July 19.-Miss Mary Karous,
of this city. enjoys the distinction of
being the first person on record to
make a parachute flight from a rapid
ly moving train. And the best of it is,
she escaped without injury, though her
fight was against her will and with
her own skirts as the parachute
Tel Jed Sokol, the Bohemian turner
society of Omaha, went on a picnic
excursion to the banks of the Sylvan
Blue, a little Nebraska stream, which
recently becamel a raging river and
did great damage to the farms along
its course. Miss Karous, accompanied
the excursion and returned at night
on the train of twelve cars. When be-
tween Greenwood and Ashland, Miss
karous started through the train to
bid good-by to party of young women
who We're to get off the train at Schuy-
Ter.
The wind was blowing a gale and
seemed to increase in fury as Miss
Karous stepped to the platform The
hurricane, sweeping beneath her
skirts, lifted the young woman bodily
from the car and whisked her away
into the air, even higher than the tops
of the cars.
To the startled passengers she look
ed like one of the New England witch
es of tradition, who could ride away
on a broomstick into the clouds with
quite the same ease. The passengers
saw her suspended in the air and toss
ed about like a bubble in the wind as
the train sped onward.
Not knowing how to stop the train,
the passengers rushed through the
cars, seeking those in charge, but could
find no one having authority until the
train drew into Ashland, three miles
away. 1t was then discovered that a
freight train was not far behind, and
telegram was sent to Greenwood to
have the freight stop a the point
be lying dead. Then the Omaha crowd
settled down for an hours wait, which
to the agonized friends of Miss Karous
seemed like a night.
Finally the freight arrived, and to
the delight of all Miss Karous was
assisted to the station platform at
Ashland unframed. A physician had
been called but his services were not
required.
Miss Karous related that her skirts
! has enacted the role of parachute to
| perfection and that the storm fhad
dropped her lightly into a cornfield,
where she had patiently waited, know
ing that some one would be along pres
emily to assist her.
DIR. Breuer found that she had been
exhilarated rather than injured by her
flight into midair from the thirty-mile
an-hour train.

From Charleston News and Courier
Who is it that ten years ago would
have believed that the general govern
ment would have spent so many mil
lions on deepening the water in our
harbor? Who is there that five years
ago could foresee that there would
even be such a military establishment
on Sullivan's Island as we now have I?
Who would have believed, three years
ago, that we could get $Z50,000 out of
the government for a Charleston Ex-
position? Let us think of these things
and not be Respondent.

A BOnd-Matter Explained.


Editor Morning News: In your Sun
days issue there appeared an article
headed Must give a New Bond"
which article would cause those not
acquainted with the case to believe
that 1 have mismanaged the affairs or
my ward, and for that cause Mr.. La
Roache wanted to be relieved as my
bondman. 1 wish to clear the minds or
my friends of this and to let them
know that there is no mismanage-
ment. and that the only reason why
Mr.. LaRoache wanted to be relieved
is on account of a personal business
transaction.
The property owned by my ward IS
very small, being a sixth part or an
estate, valued at only 5000. for when
there has never been any money trans
action. r,
l was only approached by Mr.. La
Roache once to be relieved, when
understood to be the first of August,
and which 1 was prepared to comply
with at that time.

Recorder Myrick had choice col
lection of law breakers before him yes
terday. and although the docket was a
large one 1t only took one hour to hear
the merits and dement's of the respec-
tive cases. several of which were
rather unique in character.
F. A. Stall, a painter and w. S.
Waters. a conductor employed by the
Savannah Electric Company, were ar
raigned, each charging the other with
assault. Conductor Waters told the
Recorder that when Stall boarded the
car he took a seat and held a little
boy in his lap. He paid five cents
fare and later placed the boy on a
seat The conductor then demanded a
fare and Stall. although he had re-
ceived a nickel in change from the
conductor, rendered a five dollar bill
for the boys fare. The conductor
made the change and Stall became en-
ragged and threw the $495 on the floor
of the car and demanded his IS bill
The conductor refused to give it to him
and walked back to his platform. Stall
crawled over several seats and struck
the conductor. They clinched and in
the melee Stalls finger got in Waters
mouth. The latter says he shut his
teeth down on it and held them down
until they were separated Several
witnesses corroboTated Waters testi-
mony. Stall denied that he had thrown
the money on the floor and said that
Waters had only given him 1895 in
stead of $4.95. Stall was adMdged
guilty and fined S25 or thirty days
Sam Patterson the negro who on
Saturday night cut big cash in Rob-
ert Bush's head, was arraigned yes
terday morning. but was held to await
the result of Bushs injuries, as the
latter was in no condition to appear
against him. 1t developed, however,
that the other negro also used knife
and Patterson has two gashes in his
left arm.
Dave Benton, colored, who cursed
and abused a negro boy who would
not shine his shoes free, was fined So
or ten days for being drunk and dis
orderly.
II. S. Valkenburg and r. L. Burdell,
the two soldiers who INDUCED in too
much fire water and then got into
a fight in front of fire engine house
No. 3 on Sunday evening, were ar
raigned. Burdell appeared very much
the worse for wear, and as he had
DSSH lnG lcdulHB spirit In
the disturbance, he was fined $40 or
thirty days. His companion was let
off with IS or ten days.
A. p. Oliver and H. A. Coleman, both
white. who were arrested by Patrolman

against the wishes of the driver, were
each fined $40 or thirty days.

rested Sunday morning for separating

A Shock To Miss Yohe.

n shock To Miss YOhe,
The disappearance of Capt. Strong
was a great surprise and shock to Miss
Yohe. They had planned to be married
on Sept. 26, the date when her divorce
from Lord Francis Hope became eff
fective. They had also decided upon
a trip to Japan, and intended sailing
on July "a. Miss Yohe is Frustrated
by the turn affairs have taken, but
does not believe in the suicide theory
She also denies the statement that
Capt. Strong has of late been suffer
ing from the wound he received while
serving in the Philippines.
A. X. Shattuck, Capt Strongs broth
er-in-law, was in town yesterday, hav-
ing been summoned from Lenox. He
talked with Mr.. Friend for some time
and 1T is understood will return to the
city on Monday. He could not ex-
plain the affair, and did not know
where his brother-in-law had gone. II
is understood that it was at his direc-
ton that the Pinkertons took up the
search for Strong, although they yes
terday denied all connection with, the
affair.
Emanuel M. Friend, who was seen
by Tribune reporter yesterday after
noon, confirmed the main details of
the story of Capt. Strong's desertion
of May Yohe. He admitted that he
had talked with A. r. Shattuck and
that the latter had no knowledge of
Strongs whereabouts
Il do not take much stock in the
suicide theory" said Mr.. Friend. 1.-The
fact that the last pawn ticket is dated
on the day Strong went away would
tend to disprove this. OF course, it is
possible that he has made way with
himself Mrs Vnhn "a
May, called at my office yesterday
morning and talked with me- Natur-
ALLY, she feels very bitter over the
affair. l learned of it first on We'd
mes aay when l was called to the
house at Hastings.
Il do not believe there is any truth
in the story that Strong has become
reconciled with his family, and for this
reason deserted Miss Yohe. The
Strongs are just as much in the dark
as we are. There was a story that
Capt. Strong was seen by the patrol
man on beat trying to get into the
house of his brother-in-law at No. 10
Washington Square on Wednesday
night. That is not true. 1t was a
messenger from Miss Yohe"
Steps To Save The Jewels.
Mr. Friend was reticent as to the
uSldllS OI the discovery OF the pdWne0
jewels, although he admitted that they
had been located, and that steps had
been taken to prevent their being dis
turbed. He said. however, that no
movement had been made to arrest
Strong, and that the police had not
been informed of the affair. In
reply to a question about the return
of the Jewels, ne said:
Il think that my client would look
much better with them on, and 1 pro-
pose to have them returned to her"
This would seem to mean that
the return OF the jewels was
to be made by the Strong
family. Mr.. Friend said that he ex-
