FUGITIVE HIDES IN GRAVE.
Deputy Begins to Fill it, a Howl is
Heard and Arrest Follows.

Milwaukee, Wis, Jan. 22.-On
making his first arrest in the capacity
of a deputy sheriff, Ben Gettleman
found the man he sought, Ferdinand
Schroeder, hiding under snow and
branches in a newly made grave at
Evergreen cemetery.
Schroeder was traced to the Gem
etery and when the officer came upon
him, Schroeder disappeared. Gettle-
man began a search among the tomb
stones and at last came to an open
grave. 1t contained branches of
evergreen covered with snow.
A slight movement among the
branches caused the deputy to take
a shovel and begin to fill the grave.
The first shovel full of gravel
brought howl from below and
Schroeder arose and surrendered.

breakers in Episcopal Church.
Trenton, n. j., Jan. 26.-Eighteen
Princeton students, brought here to-
day, and in the capacity OF strike
breakers, sang the morning and even
ing services of St. Michaels Episco-
pal church, in place of the members
of the regular choir, who had struck
because, they declared, the rector
was interfering with them and their
organist. The organist also had
walked out with his singers and a
substitute had to be engaged.
The strikers emulated their breth-
ren in labor disputes by picketing
outside of the church, and as a result
of their talk with intending worship
pers, many of the latter did not at
tend the services.
The students sang the music we'll.
After the night service they return
ed to Princeton.

NEGRO IS SHOT.
Young Lancaster Man Wounds Frank
Barnes.

Lancaster, January 25.-Frank
Barnes, negro, was shot by Haskell
Sistare, son of VIM. Sistare, of Doug
las section, at 6:45 o'clock to-day.
He was shot through the right leg
and left lung, the bullets penetrating
the body and coming out under the
left shoulder blade.
Five shots were fired by the man
with the gun, only two taking effect.
The shooting took place in the store
of a prominent merchant on Main
street.
The negro was hitting Sistare over
the head with an, axe handle when
Sistare drew his gun and the shoot
ing commenced. The negro grap-
pied with Sistare, catching hold Of
the pistol, when parties came up and
intervened. The negro was tenant
on Sistare's plantation, and there
seemed to have been some misunder-
standing in regard to an old account.
Barnes is resting well and 1t Is
thought that the wound will not
prove fatal unless complications set
in. Sistare surrendered to Jailer

Railroads and the Farms.

Current provision OF transportation
facilities far oatruns current farm
production. according to the bureau of
railway economics. Tables submitted
to prove this contention Indicate that
during the past decade mainline rail
road trackage has increased % per
cent. the area Of improved farms IS
per cent. and the area devoted TO
crops 10 per cent. Doubtless these
figures correctly portray the situation.
But has not the railway development
OF the past ten years been largely a
catching up with increased farm pro-
duction? And is not the increase IN
farm production steady and constant,
relatively, whereas railway extension
is ~spasmodic, proceeding by fits and
starts? Heavy construction like rail
way building obviously cannot be car
ried on piece meal, SO as to preserve
a constant uniform relation to farm
production, but must be undertaken In
sections. In other words. increase Of
farm production is the result Of a
in railway facilities is effected, neces-
sarily, by means Of a series OF pro-
jects. Railway owners may be de
pended on not to make their extension
projects SO large as to outrun farm
production and other traffic-producing
economic processes by too great a
lead.-Columbia IS. c. State.

Art Of Trunk Markinu.

Persons who have seen the big
piles Of trunks in the baggage CONS
Of the great railway terminals have
wondered how the men in charge are
able to pick GU the right trunks sc
quickly when it is called for. 1t is
simple. The trunks are placed in ter
sections, numbered from ! to 10. The
third figure from the right Of the
number Of the baggage check deter
mines the classification. For example
II the check number is 23,7S5, the
trunk is put in section Z.
The reason for using the third
figure from the end is this: Suppose
a man checks four or five pieces OF
baggage at the same time. He re
ceives checks Of which the numbers
run consecutively 90, 7S5-6-7-S-9. TO,
example. The final figure and this
next to it change. but not the third.

could not Crandall himself have recov.

Il asked him that. He told me that
the man who held 1t had made the

either my father or Katharine. They
did not wish 1t known that my IA

No, We failed" said Louise, "and I

the afternoon. Crandall thought 1t
advisable to find the place by day
light. We nan the automobile up the
lane that leads to this place and crept

men moving about in the cottage,
Young and another man whom Mr..
Crandall told me was the postmaster
at Ardway. He seemed surprised at
the presence Of the postmaster. We
watched for half an hour and then
took the automobile back to a little
hotel about three miles away from Ard.
