HIS MESSAGE TO GARCIA.
Conveyed in His Fist by Hot Springs Seiourner to an Early Morning
 Burglar.

Hot Springs. Feb. 20. How a Mexican Central Railway brake man who is sojourning in Hot Springs sent a message to Garcia is being told and retold here with great glee. Garcia in this instance was a burglar who afterward gave his name as Joe Garcia. The message which 1 Stanley sent was concealed somewhere in Stanley's fist. It was delivered with such sudden ness and withal so forcefully that Garcia realized it's significance when he recovered.
 Stanley came to Hot Springs and took a room at the Helena House on Central avenue with another young fellow whom he had never seen before. About 4 o'clock in the morning he was awakened by feeling someone's hand under his pillow. Stanley felt a mans presence directly above him and suddenly whirling in his bed caught the marauder terrific blow on the jaw, which brought him to the floor with a far which aroused the house. The next instant Stanley, with a pile of bed clothes, was on the burglars prostrate form nearly , smothering him.
 It was a great relief to the burglar catcher when his room mate lit the light at that point, for he believed until then that he had been sleeping the entire night with a burglar.
 The thief had entered the room by window, climbing down the fire escape from an upper floor in his bare feet. When arrested he had in his possession both oi the mems pocketbooks, containing about $500 all told.

At the Methodist Revival.

The congregation at the Meth- odist church last evening was the largest during any time since the meeting began, except Sum- day night and this was largely due to the fact that the mer- chants closed their stores at 7:15 thereby giving the clerks an op- portunity to attend. The num- Der of men present was noticably larger and the evangelist was very much pleased with the special feature.
 MT. Mcintosh preached on the rich man who came to Christ to inquire the way of salvation.
 The speaker sad that the sin of this age is greed for gain. No man has a right to run bus mess when he cannot pray Gods blessing upon it Money made and used for the glory of God ought to be great blessing to any man.
 The preacher closed with a strong exhortation to turn away from all ungodliness and seek the Lord while he is passing by. and twenty-nine gave their hand and promised to live better life.

FIND A WAY AT LAST.
Garbage Question Appears to Be
Really Solved.

That night soil might be turned into
a potential fuel product was demon
strated at a test held at the city cleo
trio light plant last evening by a patent
process of the Engle Crematory com
pany of Des Moines before Mayor Da-
Wis, City Physician H. B. Hogeboom
and the members of the council com
mittee on health and sanitation
The process of the company is sim
pie as indicated by the demonstration
made by Warren Walker, a representa-
tive of the Des Moines firm. Lime
coal tar and coal are the ingredients
used in disposing of the night soil in
an odorless and expeditions manner.
Three barrels of night soil were
brought to the electric light plant last
evening, a buShel of lime dumped in
and later a gallon of coal tar. After
this coal, three parts to the mixed
night soil, is added and the whole fed
into a furnace. There is no odor Of
any sort.
The Engle company offers to dispose
OF its patent rights to handle the night
soil in Topeka in this manner for S4-
600, or it will enter into a contract
with the city for disposing of it in this
manner as a fuel product which might
be used in the furna ces at the electric
light and water plants. The fuel bill
at these two plants runs monthly close
to $1,000
The removal of dead animals would
be handled under a separate contract.
The city officials have not come to
any definite decision yet but will prob
ably remain by the first plan of letting
the removal of the garbage to the low
est bidder.

The third and final shoot of the
tri State match between Delaware,
Pennsylvania and Maryland was
held Monday at the Baltimore

two out of the three matches.
Pennsylvania won one match
Each State was allowed to shoot
team of fifteen men, and select
the ten highest scores to count, the
total of these ten scores deciding
the winner of the shoot. Cecil
county had four representatives
on the Maryland team: Worth

Died From Exposure.

An unknown white man, ap'
parently about 30 years Of age, was
found dead in the yard of the
North East Fire Brick plant on
Tuesday morning. The man had
been admitted to the engine room
of the plant early that morning, by
the engineer, and after remaining
a considerable length of time left.
He was found later in the morning
by an employe lying in the yard
dead. The Coroner was summoned
but declined to hold an inquest,
and the remains were inferred in
the county burying ground at
Cherry Hill. A pocket book con-
tanning few cents, and a pair
of 'spectacles were the only ar
ticles found upon the body, there
being no papers by which the man
could be identified. In conversa-
tion with the engineer the stranger
said he had been working recently
at Abingdon, Hartford county, and
had a family living in Camden,
New Jersey.

Barn Burned.

The barn ON the William Swishel
place, near Colora,, was burned
Wednesday afternoon. The prop
erty is tenanted by Merritt s.
Pierce, who last week purchased
the Brown property near Vinegar
Hill, and intends removing thereto
this month. Shortly before the
fire was discovered, two strangers
stopped at the place and asked for
Mr.. Pierce, who was away from
home. They appeared like tramps
and were smoking pipes. AS they
left the house they went toward
the barn and it is thought they
originated the fire in some way.
Nearly all the contents were burn
ed, including farm machinery,
gasoline engine, one calf, hay and
cut fodder. There was small
insurance on both barn and
contents,

MEMORIAL.
Inventor OF The Steamboat Born
In Cecil County.
MONUMENT in WEST VIRGINIA.

/, A movement is on foot to erect a
monument at Shepherdstown, w.
Va, to James Rumsey, of Cecil
county, the inventor of the steam
boat. The citizens of Shepherds
town, where Rumsey spent most of
his life, desire to obtain from the
Maryland Legislature an appro-
priation to supplement the sum
given by the West Virginia Legis-
lature. Rumsey's boat, which was
finished in the fall of 1888, was of
six tons burden. The boiler was a
primitive affair, being simply an
iron pot or kettle with q lid placed
on its mouth and securely fastened
with bands, rivets and soft solder.
The mode of propulsion was by
pump worked by steam, the i'm
petus of the water rushing thought
q trunk against the exterior water
driving the boat forward. Rumsey
launched his boat on the Potomac
river and in December, 1887, a
successful trial trip was witnessed
by an immense throng of people.
This was 20 years before Fulton
tried his invention on the Hudson.
The Rumsey Society, of which
Benjamin Franklin was member,
was organized in Philadelphia in
1888 to further the invention.
Rumsey went to England, where
a similar society was formed, and
he obtained patents for his boat
in Great Britain, Holland and
France, where the invention was
greeted as the new wonder of the
world. Another successful trial
trip was made on the Thames
river in December, 1892, but at
the very summit of his success
Rumsey was taken sick and died,
leaving the laurels won by his in
ventive genius to be won by
another.
In 1889 the Legislature of Ken
lucky presented to Rumsey's son
a gold medal to commemorate his
fathers services in ''giving to
the world the benefits of the
steamboat.
Rumsey was born in Bohemia
Manor, Cecil county, about 1743.
One hundred and fourteen years
have elapsed since his death in
London, and patriotic Marylanders
believe it is time that the State
erect suitable memorial to his
great achievement.
