MAN TRAVELLED AS.
 SACK OF POTATOES
WAS VANISHED AND SPEEcHLESS FROM DUST WHEN HE ARRIVED AT HIS DEsTINATIoN-WoN $500 ON HAZARDOUS FEAT.

Chicago, March 14.-Billed as a choice sack of potatoes young man has ar rived in Chicago from Kansas City tied up in a sack. For three days and half he had been confined in the sack, and during that time he had travelled close to 700 miles in a freight car. The sack which covered him was inclosed in an open fruit case.
 The traveller who is Martin Klansdig- ger, a machinist of Kansas City, was nearly famished when he was cut from his prison at the Chicago and Northwest ern freight house by friend who had been waiting for day and half in the city for him to arrive.
 Klandigger began his journey with only quart of water and two pounds of crackers in the sack with him, this being a condition of the wager of $500 which caused him to make the perilous trip. When released Klansdigger was nearly blinded by the dust which had crept into the sack, and his throat and mouth were so parched that he could hardly speak
 His little cask of water had been spilled after he had been on his journey only a day
 For nearly three days he had been without water and he stated that when he was able to talk, had it not rained Wednesday he certainly would have died of thirst. During most of the storm the car in which he was packed was side tracked outside in some small country town, and the water came through a crack of the roof and fell on the sack. The burlap became quite wet and he was thus enabled to suck from the cloth a few drops which allayed his thirst.

CONFIDENCE MAN
 IS APPREHENDED
JOHN BEAUCLAY IS BELIEVED BY POLICE TO BE THE MAN WHO GAME.

The city of Birmingham will bear the expenses of an officers trip to Memphis to bring John Beauclay alias Boclay back here to answer several charges of working a confidence game. He was ar rested in Memphis several days ago on a description given the authorities there by Conductor Gould of the Frisco System. on whose train the confidence man is said to have worked a man while en route to Memphis
 Beauclay is supposed to be the man napied Johnson who recently obtained $23 from F. w. Bromberg. the jeweler, on fake check which was given in ex- change for a watch. The check was on the Alabama National Bank, drawn to Charlie Kean and signed by W. H. Rob- inson & Company
 It is also said he obtained s3O from George Brandon on a Louisville and Nashville train March on the strength of l $70O draft which was not good He is supposed to have worked J. H. Hicks on First avenue for sl1.5O by giving him the grip of a secret organization. Chief Aus tin yesterday morning received a picture of Beauclay from Memphis and 1t was Identical with the descriptions furnished by the parties who gave him money.
 Beauclay is also believed to be the man who has been working quiet check game on the banks all over the country for some time past His plan is to go to a city and obtain some paper with the head ing of a local bank On this he will write to a bank in another city, saying that the bearer (himself) is all right and to cash any checks he may present. The name of the president of the bank is signed to the letter
 Beauclay then goes to another city and presents his letter, with a check on the first bank, to the president of a bank. The letter has every appearance of being genuine and the money is paid him. A number of banks have been worked all over the country by this system, and it is thought Beaucay and his partners, who were run out of Memphis are the guilty ones.
 Chief Austin has arranged for the city to pay the expenses of bringing him back. Several times the chief has had criminals apprehended in other states and has been forced to release them for want of papers and expenses. the governor claiming he was short on funds Chief Austin said last night:
 Recently three criminals charged with felonies committed in Birmingham have been captured outside the state and ap- plications to the governor for expenses have been refused he claiming no funds
 "In several cases in the last six months Tsrties whom l had apprehendcd out of the state were afterwards released as the state would not pay expenses. Recently a confidence man who stole a diamond | ring from a young lady in Birmingham was caught in Illinois and the governor | refused expenses for an officer there and l back. l wired and had him released The | ring was on the mans finger when he was arrested but We were unable to re- | cover it.
 Since that time I have not communi- cated with the governor as I knew it would be useless to waste money using the telegraph"

Water Running Very Fast.

Boyle says the water was running through the sewer at a terrific speed. It was three or four feet deep He could feel the bottom, but could not keep on his feet. The Fifty-third street sewer runs into the main drain at Second ave- nue. There the volume of water and filth was greatly increased and Boyle narrowly escaped drowning. He was hurled about but managed to keep his head above the water and after a few mom ents more, which he says seemed like hours, he saw the light at the end of the drain. He was hurled head foremost Into the river and struck out for a scow which lay near by. Except for the severe shock. Boyle appeared none the worse for his journey.

New York, March 14.-Edward Boyle, a plumbers helper is the hero of trip through the sewers of New York, which rivals in interest and danger the wander ings of Victor Hugos Valjean through the labyrinth by which the streets of Paris are drained. For three quarters of a mile he was swept helpless through the dark by a rush of water running like a mill race. Overhead the rattle and roar of the busy streets went on. At last he was thrown. dazed and bewidered from the mouth of the sewer into the East river. Men on scow moored by helped him out and brought him to land again.
 For a time he could not speak for the shock of his terrible experience had par alyzed his nerves. Then while the little crowd that had gathered around him were asking where he had come from he found his tongue and asked for a "smokp'

Half an hour later he had refused the assistance of the ambulance surgeon, who had been summoned, and started on his way seemingly, none the worse for his strange adventure.
 Boyle is employed by plumber who has the contract for keeping in order the sewer which runs through East Fifty third street and empties into the East river. There had been some trouble with the drains at 252 and Boyle was sent with two companions to remove the obstruc- ton. Immediately in front of the house Is a manhole of the main sewer, and the men decided to start their examination there. A ladder was lowered into the sewer and Boyle, with a guide rope dang ling ready to his hand, went down first. He had almost reached the bottom when the rope broke and he lost his balance. He screamed as he grabbed at the rope and his companions bent over in time to see him miss 1t and disappear with a sDlaSh
