He reasoned wisely. After taking the desperate chance the convict was foolish enough to return to the Monon depot to await a train south and was arrested by the local officers Ke still wore the handcuffs but had succeeded in breaking the chains. The train was running thirty miles an hour when he sprang off it.

Patients Removed to the Pest and Many of Them Die From the Disease. Letters received in this city show that smallpox exists in Chicago to large extent.
Many of the cases are of the worst kind, being of the type known as the "black" smallpox and some of the patients are dying from it. When taken sick they are removed to the pest house where they are not allowed to be seen by their friends, and do not know of their death until after they are dead and buried The dreadful malady is breaking out in the stores there and in some of them two or three of the clerks are down with the disease. In one family three of the children were taken ill and removed to the pest house, where the parents were not allowed to see them, and later, upon inquiring as to how they were getting along, were informed that they were dead and buried. The Chicago papers do not say anything about the malady, refusing perhaps to mention it for fear it will keep people away from the city The dreaded disease, however, is raging there to an alarming extent.

LIVES LOST IN A GALE. During the Storm That Swept the Atlautic Coast. Erare Rescue Made In the Balitmore Harbor by the Crew of A lee Bont. BALLIMORE, Jan. 12 -This morning's strong gale has cost certainly five and probably six lives and gave the crew of the police boat, Lannan, a chance to make one of the bravest rescues in the annals of Baltimore harbor.
While the white caps were running so high that the steamer could hardly resist them, 8 signal of distress was heard and the search light revealed three men struggling in the freezing waters They were all who, were left of a party of eight sailors who accompanied by a ferryman, left the foot of Broadway to cross to Locust Point Their boat was swamped before they had gone 500 yards, and five of the sailors, and it is supposed the ferryman, sank before the Lannon could reach them The other three were taken to the City hospital, where the doctors spent several hours restoring animation. The names of five of the lost men are: Neal Finlayson, William H. Nelson, Robert J. Wilson, John Hughes, Peter Safranski. One of the sailor's names has not been learned.
The drowned men, except the ferryman, were from England, and the crew of the Mareca, and had been on shore leaves.

After the execution of Welsor his body was taken to the morgue, where an autopsy was performed, five surgeons being in attendance. The condition of the brain was found to be such as to lead two of the surgeons to state positively that the wan must have been insane The others took a neutral ground The officials' time of the execution Drop, 8.073; dead, cut down, 8:22, Cause of death, strangulation. The crime for which Welso1 was hanged was the murder of Clementine Manning at her room, corner Walnut and Tenth streets.
He had lived with the woman a number of years, but left her, going to St. Paul. Learning through a newspaper item that she had won a prize of $1,500 in a lottery, he came back and demanded that he be reinstated in her affections. As an earnest of her for him, he demanded that the major portion of her prize be used to start him in the saloon business. His propositions were refused.
Sending her sister, who was in the room, for a pitcher of beer, Welsor, as soon as the sister was gone, shot Clementine to death. On trial the defense of insanity was put up. The principal evidence of mental weakness was the fact that Nelson carried in his pocket the shrivelled and mummified finger of a dead negro, with was his practice to stir the frequent glasses of liquor which he drank.

FRESNO, Cal, Jan. men be lieved to be Chris Evans, the Visalia bandit, and his promising understudy, Ed Morrell, raided the town of Fowler last evening, and another tale of bloodshed and terror is the result Fowler is a village of 300 inhabitants, ten miles southeast of Fresno George Leon, the station agent, and three men employed as section hands were in the depot at 7 o'clock, just after the Los Angeles express had passed. While the four men were talking a masked man, with a revolver in each hand, appeared at the open door and ordered them to throw up their hands. No one hesitated to obey. At this juncture Howard Harris and A.
Vir.cent, business men of Fowler, stepped upon the depot platform and took in the situation They were about to run away and give the alarm when the robber espied them through a window The outlaw, still keeping the ocher men covered, backed slowly out of the door and ordered Harris and Vincent into the depot, saying he would kill them if they refused. They naturally went in. The masked man then stood the six citizens up along the wall, covering them with one revolver, and went through their pockets. He secured little over $70 'The daring free booter then ordered his six prisoners into the street and made them walk down town through the principal thoroughfare to Kutner Goldstein's grocery. The robber followed his six prisoners into the store, and it was evidently his intention, alone and single handed, to loot the grocery However, just as he ordered three men previously in the store to throw up their hands, the proceeding was interrupted by Constables Ochs and Nelson.
Then began a bloody shooting affray. Ochs, with his pistol drawn, rushed to the store The bandit turned upon him and fired Ochs fell and rolled out through the door, firing at the robber from the floor. His aim was wild, however, and the constable shot one citizen through the arm and another in the breast. The man hit in the breast was struck by a spent bullet and not seriously burt, although knocked down. During the general fusilade the robber escaped and disappeared in the darkness Another robber appeared upon the scene, however, during the battle in the grocery.
A wagon dashed up to the door and the driver began shooting at Constable Ochs, thus aiding in the escape of the robber within. The man in the wagon then drove rapidly away. This man answers the description of Chris 'Evane. In the other robber, who wore A bandana handkerchief over his face, the men attacked believe they recognize Ed Mor rell. The robber told them, also that his name was Morrell.
It is believed here that the bandits, becoming pressed for food and money, came down from the mountains determined to make a raid. A posse left this city last night to organize a pursuit from Fowler. Constable Charles Ochs, who is badly wounded in the right thigh and groin, was one of the jurors who convicted Chris Evans of the murder of Deputy United States Marshal Vie Wilson.

The Burlington "Eli," en route for Chicago, was held up by five men at the foot of St. Joseph's hill, three miles east of this city at 7 last night As soon as the train stopped three of the robbers boarded the engine and with drawn revolvers ordered the engineer and fireman to accompany them to the express car and ordered the express messenger to open the door When the express meesenger opened the door ho was covered with a rifle and compelled to open the safe The wild rumors that were afloat about the mail car being entered and two pouches of registered matter being 'taken are groundless, A8 no attempt was made to enter the mail car at all. The mail clerk, however, when he heard the noise at the door of the express car, barricaded his door and got his guns ready, but the robbers did not come.
The amount given in last night's dispatches as having been about $250 is probably correct 83 but very little valuable express matter is carried on the night train There was one package, however, consigned to the Commercial National bank, of Chicago, supposed to contain about $10,000 or $12,000 on board the car, but which was not secured by the robbers The package was lying on the floor alongside tue safe and when the messenger heard the racket at the door, he suspicioned something was wrong and kicked at the package under the stove, where was not found by the thieves The police and forces of the sheriff are working on the case, but have not found a clue upon which much dependence can be placed It is thought, however, that the robbers returned to this city and are now in hiding.

Knox, Ind, Jan. town of North Judson, twelve miles west of this city, is in great excitement over the belief that Mrs John Emmons was buried in the cemetery there Saturday before she was dead, although the remains had been kept five days The history of her ancestors reveals the fact that they have been subject to trances. Her grandmother was in a trance eight days, and revived and lived twenty years. Her mother and a sister underwent similar miraculous experiences. The husband protested against the interment to the last, but gave in to the dictates of the woman's physician and a few citizens Although the body was kept in a warm room there was no sign of decomposition, and the coftin glass displayed dampness on the inside.
When there was a depression made in the flesh of the supposed corpse it instantly assumed its normal shape, but when her flesh was pierced with sharp instruments DO blood came. The hands before lamp showed no pink between the fingers The feeling is general, since learning the history of the family, that the woman was not dead and the remains will be exhumed. Mrs. Emmons left six children, the oldest ten years old. BIG CONFLAGRATION.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 -That the low condition of the treasury finances is exciting general attention is evidenced by the many rumors constantly in cir culation purporting to indicate the future action of the secretary should his recommendations for a bond issue not receive prompt action at the hands of congress.

The publication of this statement has led to many inquiries at the treasury.
Secretary Carlisle was not at the department, but the tenor of the replies to the questious that were re ceived, wore to discredit the report The matter having been called to the attention of congress by Secretary Carlisle's report, the department it 19 asserted, will ask congressional action before taking any steps If congress gives authority to the treavury to igente 3 per cent not the slightest difficulty will be found, it is said at the YON 108 HEALY, 154 to State Chicago WIll Mall Free their newly enlarged Catalogue of Band Instruments Uni forms and 400 Fine It lustrations, describing every articio required Contains Instructions for Aroateur Corps, Bands by Bands or Drum Excrenes and Drum Major 5 Tacties, By Laws and a Selected Last of Sand Music. 7 department, in floating two bundred million or more among the people of the United States without resorting to subscription from abroad COMING BACK.
