JERSEYMAN AMONG 10
HONDURAN AGENT DUPES.
Accompanies Quaker City Constable to
Jersey City to Prove His limo
cence and Skins.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 21.-Recelving no
response when he called the name of Erie
Rohland, alias Rudolph NJ. Rideroff, to
answe the charge OF obtaining money by
false pretensc, Magistrate Beaten, In the
city Hall Police Court yesterday, declared
forfeited an $500 bail bond which had been
entered before Magistrate Macken on De-
12.
Ten witnesses whom Detective Timlin
had TO testify that they had
each been d%efrauded out OF $50 by Roh-
land by the false pretense of employment
in Honduras in the service of the Central
American Engineering and Construction
Company of New Orleans left the court
room chagrined because they had lost the
opportunity TO tell how they had been vic
timized. The list of compartments Included
the names of Samuel Millman, the football
star Of Swarthmore College, and w. Saun-
ders, 1876 Pearl street. Camden.
From each of the ten men Rohland had
extracted $50 as security that they would
report at a steamship wharf in New York
city last Monday to take a steamer Roh-
land handed each man a typewriter con-
tract guaranteeing the return of his deposit
when he reported aboard the vessel.
The day following his release on bail
Rohland persuaded an agent of the bonds
man t-o~accompany him to Jersey City,
upon the assurance that he would borrow
500 from a business man of that city and
would make restitution to the claimants.
Giving the Philadelphlan the slip, Roh-
land doubled on his tracks and returned
to this city. He went to his lodgings on
hilbert street, above Twelfth, and removed
two trunks containing his clothing and
other effects, and disappeared. The po-
live have been unable to trace him. and
the victims OF his ~air-castle building in
vast schemes for improving the rivers OF
Honduras are out of pocket.
The police say that Rohland Is a we'll
educated man and is said to be a member
oe a German noble family.

CLEVELAND, Dec, 21.-Total losses on
the lakes in 1907 We're not near as great

seasons. During the season Just closed,
thirteen steamers and one schooner, with
a carrying capacity OF $4,000 tons a trip,
passed out of existence. The boats were
valued at $743,OO0 The steame Cyprus,
which foundered on Lake Superior, was
the only modern ship lost during the year
She was valued at $275,0 c0.
The Spokane was the only other steel
boat the underwriters were called upon
to settle for as n total loss In 1907.
With the two steel ships named out q
the list, the Insurance men would have
had a good year, so far as total losses are
concerned, as the twelve wooden ships
that were wrecked were only valued at
$4,000, and some of them were not In

by Meyer to kill because he knew

a long talk with Pettibone, parts of
which he overheard.
Then I will squeal," was one Of the
remarks he said he heard his father

his father had long talk with a
man whom he did not know and could
not identify.

Terror Turns Hair Gray.

Shiloh. n. Although she is a
young woman. Mrs. Isaac Redick, OF
Seeley. near here, has q head of gray
hair, where a few weeks ago there
was an abundance of brown tresses.
The change was caused by her terrify-
ing experience during a cyclone which
passed over this section.
Alone with her little child, Mrs.
Redick tried to escape from her home,
which was lifted from its foundation,
but found her way blocked, with the
roaring wind carrying trees, farm
buildings, and live stock through the
air. 1t was but a few moments, but
since then the young matron's hair
has been slowly turning, till now 1t is
all gray.

The Next Instant the Train Hit Him.

day began at 6 p. m. and ended at a.
M. and 1t was his duty to patrol the
tunnel and keep the lamps burning on
the signal towers.
Two weeks ago his wife was taken
ill with typhoid fever. and grew rap
idly worse He told his felow-work-
ers he feared his wife would die be-
fore morning. Nevertheless, he set
about his task of seeing that the lamps
were all right so that the passengers
hurrying home would pass in safety.
At 9 p. m. he saw that the distance
signal lamp on the outbound track
three was smoky. He remembered that
several accidents costing human lives
lamps.
He ran across the tracks. lodging a
down train and reached up for the
signal lamp. With his pocket handker-
chief he rubbed the chimney bright
and turned down the wick little. AS
he did this the lamp swung around in
answer to the signal tower man, eau
tioning the up train to go slow. A
down train came tearing through the
tunnel, making great noise and
drowning the noise of the approach
of train in the opposite direction.
Then he stepped down on the track,
conscious that he had probably saved
an accident-and the next instant the
train hit him.
"The engineer, with his eyes on the
signal-as was his duty-did not see
the shadow that hickered for an in
stant under the forward wheels. But
the track walkers, passing few mo-
ments after. found the crumpled mass
under the light of their lanterns.
They found the handkerchief with the
lampblack on it. and saw the finger
marks of the man on the signal lamp
chimney, and they understood. The
rase was reported to the police and
entered on the station house blotter
But it was Just man killed in the
tunnel-a trackwalker or a lampman.
It was not till days after that stray
word dropped by trackwalker re-
vealed that big Tom Ryan had given
his life to send a trainload of com
muters home in safety.

SLEEPS FOR THIRTY YEARS.
Girl Suffers from Fright After Pursuit
by Bull.

Paris-M Paul Farez reported to
the Cociete d'Hypnologie ct de Psy-
chologie de Paris the following curious
observation:
Bonita r was born in 1913. In
1876 she was chased. with her chill
dren, by mad bull Thoroughly over
come by the emotion she had sus-
tanned, she complained of violent head
ache. A bone setter told her she
would have still greater sufferings
She became silent, stopped eating,
took to her bed, and remained with
out movement as asleep. Her condi-
ton did not resemble that of hypnotic
sleep with dissertation of the different
sensorial activities.
In her case it was a question of al
most complete psychic observation
consequent on a certain mental condi
ton accompanied only by the follow
sort OF grunting or movement of the
arms to ask for drink and the swal
lowing of 125 grams of water daily.
At the end of 30 years Bonita got
up, spoke. and recollected persons and
things; the only food she takes is 4
little milk and water.
How was she able to live in such
conditions? NJ. Farez is of opinion
that by remaining motionless Benita
expended nothing. and that, expendine
nothing. she did not require to eat.
The absence of appetite, of desire
of hunger, he says, allowed her to sup
port such a fast with Indifference;
while fasting, no matter for how short
time, causes the tortures so vel
known and inevitably causes death
when the physiological factor of hun
ger is present

their hats off in the dark hall below

two babies were cared for at the home

do not know he is dead. Neither does
his wife, who Is sick unto death in a
hospital where for four weeks she
has been battling with typhoid fever.
She thinks that she is so sick that the
nurses will not let her see even her
husband. And no one, not even the
take the responsibility of letting her
know the truth.
This story should interest those per-
sons who took the 8 p. m. local train
for Westchester county from the

to their waiting families in the
suburbs, but they never knew why.
They didn't even know that as they

swept over the body of the man who
had saved them.

Denver Live Stock Show.

Denver.-So rapidly have the en-
tries for the Western Live Stock EX-
position, which is to be held in Den
yer January goth to 25th, been com.
ing in from all parts of the Rocky
mountain country that the manage
ment of the show has been in guam
Diary where to put all the exhibits. 1t
has been decided to make some addi-
tions to the grounds. Orders for the
erection of stable $50 by GO feet have
been given and work on the building
already has been begun. The new
building will contain about 800 stalls
1t will be perfectly enclosed and will
be an ideal place in which to show
much of the fine stock that will be in
Denver for the exposition.
Another thing which the manage
ment of the show has decided upon
for the comfort of the visitors to the
stockyards during show week is to
cover the big stadium and show ring
with canvas top and provide heat.
There has been some complaint made
in past years over the failure to heat
the big show building. but this year
with the new stadium under cover and
well heated there will be no room for
the kickers. Stalls for the accommo-
dation of the exhibition animals will
be built beneath the stadium and
about 200 head of fine stock will be
housed there. The big brick barns
will hold 200 more and every stall at
the yards will be filled when the doors
are thrown open to the public.
THE greatest stock show ever held
in the Western country, is now assured
for Denver said Secretary Fred p.
johnson as he went through a bunch
of entries that had come in the last
mail.
