finer of the two, having once been an
officer in the United States army, ap-
peared to look down upon his uncouth,
bibulous and talkative fellow exile.
But the trouble was made up months
ago and the two are now fast friends,
busy in the joint effort to resist eXtradi-
tion to the United States. 1t is said that
Gaynor is the moneyed man of the two
and that Greene's means arc compara-
lively limited Gaynor is supposed to
have pocketed the lions share of the
money secured from the United States.
The eXiles are free men, but it is we'll
known that they are shadowed night and
day by agents of the United States, and
that any attempt to escape now would
be futile.
Fugitives Are ostracized.
Greene and his wife live in splendid
ly-furnished residence in the most fash
ionable quarter Of Quebec, near the
Governors garden. They are waited
upon by several servants, but they see
little or no company, In fact they are
bitterly ostracized. and the only persons
with whom they are seen, though re-
spectacle enough, are not of the better
class of local society. They are occa-
sionally visited by relatives from their
former home, such as children by Gay
nor's former marriage, but apart from
these they see very few persons except
on business.
Gaynor spends most Of his time in the
barroom, where he is tolerated for his
openhandedness by lawyers and poll
ticians who drop in from time to time
Mrs. Gaynor spends good deal OF her
time in driving and horse riding, In
which latter sport she has been taking
lessons from an officer OF the militia
cavalry. Mrs. Gaynor is an occasional
attendant at st. Andrews, the local
Presbyterian church, while Gaynor him
self is once in awhile to be seen at st.
Patrlck's Roman Catholic church. 1t
Is obvious that Gaynor has still plenty of
money. Some time ago he dabbled in
stock speculation, but he has abandoned

! Niagara in Winter !

There is no more fascinating scene
in the world than that to be found at
Niagara Falls in winter time. 1t is
marvellous the transformation that
takes place under the influence Of
the wind and weather. The basis Of
all the beauty is the tiny spray drops,
waited here and there and CONCEALED
where they fall by winters icy breath
In summer Niagara has a wealth of
grandeur. but there is something
about the winter scenery that has
popular favor. II may be because
there is nothing else to be found by
tourists with which to make compar!-
son, for the ice effects of Niagara are
most original and peculiar. 1t re-
quires but few hours to make the
change. and q spot unattractive in
the evening may lie wonderfully
beautiful by morning.

Park comes from the American Fall.

Different trees give different effects

RISKS LIFE TO SAVE GOOSE.
Man Lowered Down an Old Mine Shaft
700 Feet Deep

From Oxford, Warren county, n. j..
comes the story of Lewis Albert. an
engineer at the mines, says the New
York Herald. who for the sake of {
goose's life, risked his own for fully
forty minutes in daring and sensa.
tional manner.
The goose got over the fence OF it,
coop, tapped its wings. flew over the
opening Of the shaft, which is 700
feet deep. fell into the black hole and
disappeared.
On TIE following day persons pass.
ing tho shaft heard sepulchral cries
proceeding from some subterraneous
source. kemple heard the sounds and
learned of the goose's plight.
The oil hoisting apparatus was ex.
amined and found to be useless and
the problem arose as To how the bird
was to be rescued. One man lowered
hook and line. to which was attached
n worm, but the goose would not bite.
Then Albert took long rope and,
selecting group of miners, he babe
them lower him into the mine.
Albert got down about 200 feet and
minute later there was a fierce honk.
ing. followed by signal to pull ur
quickly. Albert soon appeared with
the struggling bird in his arms.

Wonderful Ice Bridges.
Niagara ice bridges are wonderful.
This year there is very substantial
one, spanning the gorge from far be-
low the upper steel arch to away up
near the Horseshoe Fall at times.
Along the upper and lower ends of the
ice bridges changes occur daily. but
on that portion straight out from the
foot Of the inclined railway there is
little daily change. Some of the
beauty has been taken from this years
bridge by the heavy snowfalls. When
an ice bridge first forms 1t has a
rough, uneven, beautiful surface, and
a snowfall fills in the crevices. giving
1t smooth appearance lacking in the
beauty OF the rougher structure.
People who live near small streams
are quite accustomed to see them fro.
zen over, but Niagara ice bridge Is
not result Of the freezing over OF
the mighty river. The ice bridge
forms where the current runs at thirty
miles an hour and where the depth OF
water is fully one hundred and ninety
feet. The strange structure is made
up OF little. cakes OF ice that have
come down over the falls and gathered
in great numbers In the gorge until
the mass is of wonderful thickness and
strength.
None OF the chunks OF ice that enter
into the early formation of an ice
bridge is larger than a mans head. no
matter how large the cakes are when
they leave Lake Erie and are caught
in the suction OF the rivers entrance,
near Buffalo. When they pass through
the upper rapids and then make the
awful plunge over the cataract they
are churned and broken into small
pieces. In this form they MI the low.
er river from shore to shore. The ice
crowds into the eddies and Is damned
tight by the awful force Of the current
behind. Finally the eddies become
clogged and then only a channel in
midstream is left open. Through this
channel the Ice continues to rush and
grind. The now increases and then
the channel is blocked. II brushes

Twelve Articles of I'M
peachments
ALLIE NOTED IN HIS FAVab

Washington. Feb. 27.-The Senate today
voted on all of the Impeachment charges
against Judge swayne and acquitted him
neach count. on none of the twelve ar
ticles was there even a majority for con-
viction, while it required two-thirds to
convict. The closest vote was on the last
article, the contempt case Of w. c. 0'Neal
when 80 Senators voted guilty and AZ
not guilty while on two articles only 10
Senators voted for conviction.
The voting, for the most part. was on
party lines, though there was not a
strict alignment on any article.
At the conclusion of the voting the
presiding ofiicer directed the secretary
to enter an acquittal upon the records,
and the court then adjourned without
day
Judge Swayne was not in the Senate
during the roll calls. but in the presi-
dents room, just back OF the chamber.
Their esult of each ballot was sent to him
by his attorneys
On the roll call for the first charge
Mr. Aldrich's name was first. He was
not present, so that the first Senator
to rise in seponse to the cah was Mr..

clear and distinct tones. He was fol
lowed Immediately IN the negative by

JURY FINDS IN
CORKRAN' s FAVOR
Verdict for Defendant in Suit
Brought by Zell and
Merceret
II HAS An IMPORTANT BEARING

The jury in the case Of zel and Mer-
ceret. the Baltimore brokers. against the
Rev. DE-. Wilbur T. Corkran. returned a
verdict at 25 o'clock this afternoon, in
the Superior Court in favor of the de-
fendant. Or. corkran received the find
ing in his favor complacently.
The brokers sued the clergyman, who,
with the Rev. Dr. Charles S. Baker, Of
this city. was recently suspended from
the Methodist ministry until the meeting
of the Wilmington Conference here next
month, for dabbling in stocks, for $500
for sIeged commissions and interest in
stock deals. DIR. Corkran made a success
ful defense. as the verdict shows.
1t is believed that the finding Of the
jury will have an important bearing on
his case when il shall be reviewed by the
Conference.
Some Methodist ministers are OF the
opinion that if Drs. corkran and Baker
formally admit that they did wrong In
speculating in stocks. that the Conference
will reinstate them.
