MAN CAUSED ALARM;
BROUGHT TO THE CITY
Frank SavoWki, PoIander,
Could Not Talk English.
STARTED ON ROAD EAST.

Frank Savowki, Polander, whose
chief belonging was a pair of dirty
bare feet, jumper, pair of ragged
overalls, and dilapidated hat, was
brought to Richmond Sunday by a far
mer named Wrinkle, residing about
four miles south of Richmond, and
turned over to the local police. The
man was filthy and where he came
from or what his occupation is, Win
kle did not know. He said that the
Pollock dropped into that neighbor-
hood uncerimoniously and was given
one meal The man created consider
able alarm in the community as it
was thought he was crazy and would
do some one bodily harm. He was
confined in the city Jail over Night
About the only thing in his vocabulary
is NIGHTS verstay" and he answered
all questions directed to him in this
manner. The police could ascertain
nothing of his former home or what
his present occupation is and in dis
gust Patrolman Little took the man
to Main street and started him east
on the 'hot foot thankful that he
was so easy to get rid of.

WHEELS ARE STOLEN
WITH MUCH REGULARITY
Many Complaints Made to the
Police Recently.
FOUR AWAITING OWNERS.

Wheels continue to be missed about
the city and the police department is
at loss to understand it. It is not
thought, however. that the bicycles are
stolen maliciously, and the officers
have an idea that one man is causing
the larger part of the trouble at the
present time. Complaints of stolen
wheels reach police headquarters with
clock-like regularity each day Sun
day morning Tob Williams, travelling
man, employed by the Jones hardware
company. left his wheel in front of the
Pennsylvania station and when he re-
turned to get it it was gone. Looking
up the street some distance he recog-
nized his wheel being ridden by an
other person. The wheel was found
by the police in front of Johnson's sa-
loon later.
Jesse Barns. who asked the police to
search for his wheel about two weeks
ago, has had his machine returned to
him by the police.
The plan which seems to be followed
is TO ride the wheels away from their
standing place and then leave them at
some other point. The police declare
that arrests will be made when any
man is caught taking a wheel Four
wheels are now in the hands of the po-
Ii e; machines which have been picked
up by the officers in their nightly
rounds. These are being held at head
quarters for the appearance of the own
ers.

fountain City Boy, Once a
Member of Country Band,
Has Achieved Success.
MUCH PRAISED IN BOSTON.
WILLIAMS FAMILY OF WINCHES-
TER HAS REPUTATION FOR
GENIUS-ERNEST AND JAN AND
THEIR MUSICAL SISTERS.

Winchester, Ind, July 22.-After a
brilliant musical career, reading ike a
romance, Ernest Williams, son of
Samuel E. Williams, of this city and
formerly of Fountain City, Wayne
county, at the age of %, finds him
self the owner of a big musical pub
lishing house and cornet soloist OF the
boston Municipal band, one of the
finest organizations of it's kind in AM
erica
No more significant token of the
young mans success can be found
than in the following paragraph from
the musical critic of the Boston Globe.
in a write-up of the first concert Of
the season, given last Sunday on the
Boston commons before a multitude of
people: THE unmistakable feature of
the concert was the cornet solo play
ing of Ernest Williams, whose very
first notes caught the favor of the
crowd, and who, before ne got through
with his three encores, had aroused
an enthusiasm by the means of the
ease and facility of execution that he
displayed, which brought to many
minds "reminiscences of the palmy
days of Levy and Walter Emerson"
The story of young Williams car
.eer, which is an intensely interesting
one, shows what perseverance and
resolution, coupled with American in
'telligence, may lead to.
This year Williams is booked as so
1oist for eighty-two concerts on the
old Boston Commons with the famous
Municipal band, which is made up
chiefly of foreign talent, and has an
imported conductor, Albert NJ Kan
rich.
Ernest does not have a monopoly
on the musical talent of the Williams
family, however, and his younger
brother, Jan, now %, has made Won
derful strides toward the top. He is
now with Priors band at Asbury
park.
Ida, one of the sisters of the boys,
has acted as pipe organist in various
churches In Brooklyn for the last ten
years, and Mabel, another sister, has
been vocal soloist in different
churches in the same city. and has
just concluded a two years engage
ment in the First Congregational
church of Brooklyn as contralto solo,
list in a quartet.
s. E. Williams, father of this talent
ed family, is well known over Indiana
as musical instructor and author OF
musical works and no doubt a goodIy
share of the success of the family is
due to his early influence and pater-
nal inspiration.

FIRE IN MID OCEAN
Crew of Austrian Steamer Fought Flames While Panic Slrick-
 en Passengers Prayed.

New York, Oct. 10.-The Austrian steamer Giulia, which arrived to-day from Trieste with 763 passengers, had narrow escape from destruction by fire in mid-ocean during violent storm on Oct. B. The crew fought the flames all day before they were extinguished while the panic stricken passengers prayed for help.
 The Giulia left Trieste Sept. IA, calling at Patras, Greece, and Almeia. After passing Gibraltar, Sept. 25, the steamer encountered heavy seas. At daylight on Oct. 8 when about 700 miles west of the Azore Islands, fire was discovered in the cargo at the bottom of No hold The wind was blowing violently and the Giulia was laboring heavily. Captain Cherubini ordered part of the cargo broken out and water was turned into the hold but the fire stubbornly resisted the efforts of the crew. a <.
 In the meantime the passengers of whom there were 27 in the cabin and 736 in the steerage, learned of the danger Many of them fell on their knees in prayer, while others became hysterical adding to the cares of the harassed officers who were trying to save the ship. The ships boats were prepared to meet any emergency, but after the hold had been flooded and part of the cargo thrown overheard, the fire was finally extinguished about 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
