October. Thompson was fined 5000
which was paid. He owns a 200-acre
farm at Starkshoro and has a wife and
five children, the oldest OF whom is lG
years, In reply TO the contention of the
defense that the assault If there had
been any. was committed at Bttefs Gore
in Chittenden county and therefore not
within the jurisdiction OF Addison eoun-
ty court, Judge Waterman instructed
the jury that ii a crime is committed
within 100 rods OF the boundary line

Causing Partial Derailment
of Train Bearing Rail
road President
FIREMAN KILLED
NEAR WICKLIFFE, O.
Pres. Smith of New York
Central Gets Harsh Init
alton to His Work

Cleveland, Ohio, Dec l3.-That the
partial derailment of Lake Shore s.
Michigan Southern railroad train near
Wickliffe shortly before midnight last
night was deliberate attempt at train
wrecking is the belief of tine officials of
the road to-day. Spikes had been re-
moved from the rails, and the company
has offered $1,000 reward for the arrest
of the person who was responsible for
the condition.
Attached to the train was the private
car OF Alfred Smith, the newly elected
president of the New York Central sys-
tenn. His car was not derailed, and
President Smith helped to man hand
car for miles up the road to the nearest
telegraph office to report the wreck The

PROTECTED BY GUNBoATS.
Federals at Tampico Are Awaiting the
Rebels Rush.

Mexico City, Dec. l3.-Two thousand
federals at Tampico, protected by the
shells of the gunboat Bravo more than
by their own efforts, were yet waiting
forward movement of the rebels or
some other manouvre that might decide
the fate of the seaport.
The fighting that began two days ago
was then continuing, and the best indlca-
tions were that it might last another
day or even longer How many rebels
are engaged in the attack on Tampico
is not known, but it is estimated that
their number is at least twice that OF
the federals and their operations indi-
cate that they expect more men from
Victoria, capital of the state of Taman-
lipas. which lies half way between Tam
pico and Monterey to the north.
The rebels, who are in possession OF
the railroad yards and shops and large
stores of material and equipment, have
actually detached from their lines suffi-
cient men to undertake repairing the
railroad north and west from Tampico
toward Victoria. The damage that has
been done this line, while enough to pre-
vent the operation of trains, is not so
great that it will long delay resump-
tion of traffic.
Most of the destroyed bridges being
small ones they can be easily replaced
Repairs to the road southwark from
Victoria also are being rushed, and it is
not improbable that the rebels will be
able to transport fresh troops and addi-
tional artillery supplies in time to use
them at Tampico before the government
can get reinforcements to the port.
OCCASIONAL shells fell into the heart of
the city of Tampico during the day, and
bullets from rifles and machine guns
were numerous enough to make advis-
able that all residents not engaged in
the operations seek cover. For the most
part the firing was limited to the artil
lery of the rebels and the guns Of the
Bravo.
The rebels hold the area about Tam
pieo proper and the coast, including Dona
Cecilia and Arbol Grande, suburbs, where
are located the storage oil tanks of the
Waters-Pierce company, the Cowdray
interests and the Huasrea company. The
Waters Pierce refinery is at Arbol
Grande. The Cowdrays also have a re-
finery there, but it is not yet in opera
tion.

TWO ANIMALS BURNED.
When Barn Was Destroyed at Swanton
Yesterday.

Swanton, Dec l3.-A barn in the
Catholic grounds in the rear of the In
stitute of the Fathers of st. Edmund
was destroyed by fire about one o'clock
yesterday morning and a horse, COW,
several wagons, agricultural implements
and lot of hay and grain was de-
stroyed, nothing being saved The in
surance is 800. The fire was discov-
cred by persons returning from a So
cial function at the Taquahunga club,
who gave the alarm. Brother Joseph un-
locked the barn door and undertook to
rescue the horse and COW, but the flames
drove him back. The fire department
responded and confined the fire to the
building. Fortunately there was no
wind, otherwise the extensive buildings
of the institute and of the parochial
school would have been endangered The
origin of the fire is unknown.

As Rebels Swarm to the At
tacking Line at
Ojinaga
FEDERALS PREPARE ,
FOR STIFF FIGHT
Meanwhile the Battle at the
Port of Tampico
Continues

Oiinaga, Mex, Dec. 13.--Perched on a
hill of 0iinaga, which commands
sweeping view of the nearby desert and
canyons, the federal army to-day had
their guns trained in expectation OF an
attack by the 1000 or 5000 rebels who
were rapidly surrounding the town. The
commanding position of the federals
with trenches and forts fixed for resist
ance makes it impossible for the rebels
to storm the town without heavy loss
of life.
The rebels would have to climb almost
straight up to the town and would be
constantly exposed to fire except for
the slight shelter afforded by the mes
quite bushes.
The 1000 federals garrisoned here aft
er their retreat from Chihuahua have
resigned themselves to the expected at
tack, and the rebels under General Her
rera have announced their intention of
attacking from three sides to force sur
render to drive the enemy across the
river into the United States.
Four more troops of United States
cavalry reinforced the border patrol at
Preside to-day. The American military
authorities have notified both sides that
no shots must be fired across the river.

WIRELESS SAVED
ALL IT'S SHIPS
While Vessels on Great Lakes Having
No Wireless Were Lost in the
Recent Big Storm.

Washington, ID. c., Dec. I3.-The value
of the wireless was demonstrated, ac-
cording to the department of commerce,
by the fact that none of the 10 Ameri-
can vessels lost in the storm which swept
the Great Lakes last month was equipped
with wireless, whereas the vessels with
wireless received warning of the COM
ing storm and sought safety. About so
vessels are preparing to install wireless
equipment as a result of the lesson.
The inspectors report of the Cleveland
inspector says that just before the storm
three vessels cleared from Detroit, one
with wireless and two without. The
former, after attempting to warn the
other two, returned to port and was
saved. Those without wireless were
lost.

Again the death angel has in
vaded the home of the Crosby
sisters and touched the elder one
saying, 1T is enough" Long and
faithfully Belle has performed the
duties that came to her; ministering
in the home or by the bedside of the
afflicted one. Tireless IN her labor
of love and sympathy; she had all
but finished the work she had
planned and was looking forward to
the rest promised her after years of
toll but the good Lord had more
perfect rest for her. The weary
frame is now at peace, the busy
hands are still and folded across her
breast, for she has finished her
course, and we, who are left feel
that she could say, "Henceforth
there is crown of righteousness
which the righteous Judge shall
give me at that day"
Isabella Hamilton Crosby was
born at Ogden, N. Y. in 1912.
Died Sept. 10, 1913, surrounded by
every love and care that her two
sisters, Mary and Ellen and her
niece Regina could give her. She
is survived by her sister Emma
Judd of Pasadena. CAL, and
and Annals children. Belle came to
Lancaster when she was about four
years old where she has spent the
most of her life, having identified
herself with many interests of the
city. Her familiar face will be missed
more than any other on our streets
and in the social life she has been a
prominent figure for many years
One by one her companions have
slipped out of her life leaving her to
look into their faces for a long
good bye. She died fortified by the
Sacrament of the Catholic faith.
Her funeral was held from the st.
Clements Church at two O'Clock
Sunday afternoon. There was a
profusiOn of lovely flowers from a
host of friends who were present at
the final ceremonies both at the
church and at Rose Hill Cemetery
where she was inferred.
Twill not be long, our journey here;
Each broken sigh and fallen tear
Will soon be gone and all will be
A cloudless sky, a wavelesS sea.
Twill not be long; the yearning heart
May feel it's very hope depart
And grief be mingled with it's song;
Well meet again, twill not be long.
Roll on dark stream, we dread not
the foam.
The weary pilgrim has reached her

HALEY & EDWARDS
INSTALL FINE CABINETS
Modern Appliances Put in for the Con-
venient Handling of Mems and
Boys Clothing.

It is doubtful whether there is
another medium sized city in the state
whose merchants take more pride in
making their stores attractive and III
having them modernly equipped than
those of Lancaster.
The old method of having coats
and overcoats stacked up in piles upon
tables, by which on busy day the
showing of suits to a dozen customers
usually made it necessary to straighten
and reptile about one half of the stock,
had to give way to the racks with
hanger for each individual coat, and
this was great improvement.
Haley & Edwards have just INSTALL
ed in their clothing store formerly
known as The HUB ten hand
some cabinets, built of beautifully
polished weathered oak. with plate
glass doors on the front that open and
slide back out of the way. Each
cabinet contains two racks of nickeled
steel, and each of the racks will hold
thirty coats upon hangers to keep
them in shape. These racks are
easily drawn out from the cabinet, SC
that from each cabinet can be display.
ed at once sixty coats and vests.
Those containing the overcoats each
hold thirty, and when closed the
cabinets Keep the clothing clean and
free from dust.
In themselves they constitute hand
SOME furniture and take up much less
room than the racks which they take
the place ola great Improvement in
every way to the stores equipment,
In connection with the foregoing
this firm has also installed a large
cabinet with glass front equipped
with racks Of nicklad rods, for the
showing of hats and caps. This
cabinet readily accommodates eighteen
to twenty dozen of hats all easily and
quickly accessible without opening
band-boxes, and the hats are kept in
shape and free from dust.
