"MOSSeS From an Old MQnSe"

Several souvenirs of more than US
ual interest were placed on display In
connection with the Methodist meet
ing at the Chautauqua. Chief in inter-
est, probably were the small slabs
that were sawed from a log removed
from the old George Smith home north
west of the city. 1t was at Smiths
home that the first Methodist meet
ing was held in the county. The log
was sawed into small blocks suitable
for paper weights. They were sold for
a small sum and sales were rapid.
A piece of brick taken from ruins
of the first Methodist church in the
county was in the collection. II is the
property of L. o. Bunyan.
A journal kept by Bishop Asbury
from 1771 to 1913 was on display.
Bishop Asbury was the first dignitary
of that station in the Methodist church
of America. The volume belongs to NJ.

Notorious Kidnapper in an At

Delivery.
CONVICTS FIGHT A DUEL

Pittsburg, Aug. 20-James Boyle,
of Willie Whitla, is one of the prison
ers who have been placed in irons at
Riverside Penitentiary until Warden
Francis and the State Prison Board
can get some line on those who were
connected with the recently discov-
cred plot to tunnel out of the prison.
There is no doubt left in the minds
of the prison authorities that there
was some very heavy financial back
ing connected with the tunnel scheme
since it was found today that there
was undoubtedly an intention by
some persons outside the prison to
begin tunneling into the prison at a
point where the tunnel which had
been begun by those on the inside
would meet it.
1t is known now that at least one
life will have been sacrificed to the
tunnel scheme. Two convicts fought
a duel with knives inside the prison
shortly after the plot was discovered
One of them was so badly slashed
that he is now in the prison hospital
and cannot live.
The story came out today when the
outside world was asked for addition
al medical assistance in the case. The
other prisoner is also badly cut, but
will live. The fight is said to have
grown out of charges of "peaching."
The greatest secrecy is maintained
by the prison authorities as to the
identity of the two men This has
caused great excitement among those
who have friends in the prison. es-
pecially among these friends of mem
bers Of the bankers colony, for the
names of many persons formerly prom
inent in Pittsburg now doing time in
Riverside have been connected with
the tunnel plot.

rode away without having murdered
her at all. and he was never heard Of

HOUR LATER.

Fishkill. n. Y. Aug. 2o.-Denied the
privileges recommended by Justice
Mills in his decision declaring him in
sane, Harry X. Thaw has began the
monotonous asylum life at Matteawan.
He is compelled to get uD at the reg
ulation hour and is weighed The pa
pers of his recommittment were filed
at the hospital desk.
Thaw received the same treatment
accorded him before the hearing at
White Plains.
He occupies the same room given
to him before. He is forced to asso-
ciate with insane persons of the worst
type, and none of the privileges asked
for by him have been granted.
Thaw's wish was for room on the
lower floor of the institution, which
would enable him to keep away from
the ward where the insane patients af-
flicted with tuberculosis are confined.
He also wanted the privilege of stay
ing UP till 8 o'clock and having a
light in his room until that time, so
that he could read and write.
In His Old Room.
Instead he has been placed in his
old room. to reach which he has to
pass through the tuberculosis ward
1t was in this ward that Thaw, accord
ing to his mothers testimony before
Justice Mills saw a man lying in bed
dead one day when he was on his way
to breakfast.
Instead of being allowed to sit up
until o'clock he has to be in his
room at 8 o'clock at night, when all
lights are turned out In no instance
does Thaw's daily life differ from that
of the other inmates, a majority of
whom are criminals and hopelessly
insane.
1t was expressly stated in Justice
Mills's decision that Thaw should not
be treated or considered a criminal in
the asylum, but rather as man who
was insane, but might recover if aid
ed by pleasant surroundings.
