STORIES ARE RIDICULOUS.

Rio De Janeiro. Jan. 17-Much COM
ment, most of it in humorous vein. but
some OF 1t in spirit of petulance. has
been caused here by the American
press reports of the reception of the
fleet in Rio Janeiro and of clashes be-
tween the sailors and the populace.
The truth of the matter is. the re-
ception given the Americans was the
warmest in the history of Brazil and
was unruffled by the slightest i'll feel
ing. official or private.
The stories of street fights aud other
canardS circulating in American pa.
perS are too ridiculous for considera-
ton. The lurid account OF a con-
tlict between American sailors and a
mob OF 1000 townspeople is absolute
ly without foundation.
The truth of the matter is that a
row began in a small cafe, where four
United States sailors were seated at
a table, between a German sailor and
three Italians at another table. and a
beer bottle thrown by a Portuguese.
who Joined in the fight, accidentally
struck the table at which the Ameri.

SNOW BALLS SAVE
TOWN FROM FIRE
Hurled by Citizens Saved a
Pennsylvania Town.

Johnstown, Penn, January IL
Probably the most remarkable man
ner of extineuishing fire took place at
Boswell. a mining town near here,
when hundreds of men, women, boys
and girls saved the town from destruc-
tion by throwing snoWbails. The
town has no fire department, and
water is scarce. The flames had
gained much headway and a building
in which was stored sufficient powder
to blow up the village was threatened.
As a last resource practically the en-
tire population began throwing thous-
ands of snowballs made Of soft, wet
snow, and after time prevented the
explosion and confined the flames to
half a dozen buildings.

Dot gherty, e 15-year-old son of \.
u. Dougherty.s was lodged in jail at an
early hour yesterday morning by Mar
shal Mogul and was formally charged
with assault and battery with intent
to commit murder. The man on whom
the assault was made with knife. IS
Harry Reynolds. night manager of the
Western Union telegraph Office, who
came here some months ago from De-
fiance, Ohio.
The exact cause of the trouble is diff
ficult to learn, but seems to have re-
suited from i'll feeling against Rey-
nOlds through his failure TO quit his
job during the recent telegraph strike.
One wound was in the top Of the
head. another long one from the ear 10
the front of the throat and third un-
der the heart required eight stitches 10
close. This latter was a serious one,
the knife being deflected by RIB and
preventing it from being fatal. Fright
ened d the cOpious flow Of blood Rey-
nolds ran from the office into tho
street calling for surgeon. He vas
taken TO his room in the Ward block
and attended by a physician. Al
though his injuries are serious he will
recover.
Dougherty came here about a year
ago from indianapolis.

Deserted Wife of DanviIIe

Ascertain Whereabouts of
Man Who Left Her.
THINKS THAT HE
is IN RICHMOND.
He Was Here for Some Time,
But Withdrew BriCkIayers'
Union Card-Has Not Yet
Secured Travelling Card. ,

Mrs. D. e. Rench, of Danyille, H.,
is a highly indignant, but anxious wo-
man. A few weeks ago her husband,
without giving any notice suddenly
disappeared from Danville and is still
among the absent. Since his disap-
pearance, Mrs. Rench has been search
ing for him far and near. She finally
got information that hubby was in
Richmond.
Yesterday Chief Bailey received a
letter from the woman, stating that
she believed her fugitive husband was
here. and asked the chief to inquire
about him of the local bricklayers' un-
ion. This was done and Chief Bailey
learned that Rench had been in Rich
mond, but that he had withdrawn his
union card about two weeks ago and
that at the present time his where
abouts are unknown. The chief was
informed that Rench was probably
somewhere in this vicinity as he had
not yet taken out his travelling card.
Just what action Mrs. Rench intends
to take il she succeeds in locating her
spouse, is not known, as she did not
instruct the local police what steps
to take if they succeeded in finding
him here. Some men who knew
Rench while he was in Richmond
state that they are of the opinion that
ne left DaOyille with a woman and
tnat she was with him In this city.

from the Sarah Phillips fund cannot
even be used to defray the transporta-
tion expenses of orphans sent TO
Whites Institute or to assist in their
maintainence there.
At present time the fund amounts
To $3.50. Next year the fund will
amount TO s1,926. If the fund grows
into the millions, it will be OF no
benefit TO the county and the deposit

The fund is the only permanent

which bears three per cent interest.
When a dollar finds its way into this
