FELL AMONG THIEVES.
The Robbery of a Toronto LadY in Cleve-
land.
IA. deslxttoh from Cleveland, Ohio,
says :-Mrs. E. A.. Fletcher, a handsome
and dignified -looking matron, arrived
in Clevelend early on Friday morning,
She had not been in the city 'more
than five minutes before she had a
sample of the cold inhospitable man-
ner in which Cleveland treats her
guests. In fact, she had net left the
Union station before she discovered
that her satcnel, containing all her
belongings, including her extracloth-
ing and cash, had been 'purloined by a
sneak ,'thief. She reported her trou-
bles to a. policeman, who in turn notifi-
ed the detective, who is always at the
station to take caret ofjust such cases.
The latter had been watching a rather
suspicious -looking mita for some time,
and for the time being had lost sight
of him. When the story was told to
the detective he at once suspected the
individual referred to, and started on'
his track. It did not take him long
to find him, he being 'traced to a dis-
reputable house on, Hamilton street.
The man versom tl arrested, and
on being threatened with threatened
confessed the crime, and told the
officer to whom the Canadian visitor's
belongings had been sold. The satchel
was subsequently restored to the own-
er, and the thief sent to gaol. Mrs.
Fletcher had come here on a visit.
RECKLESS SHOOTING.
A Cleveland Merchant Shot by a Detective
In Chicago -Shots Fired at Fleeing
Bsirgiars.
A despatch from Chicago, says :-Bul-
lets fired by Police officers and Pinker-
ton detectives in pursuit of burglars,
early Thursday morning, struck Albert
Zeimar, a Cleveland, Ohio, merchant,
and he is now at the County Hospital
in a. dying condition. Zeimar was a
guest at the Great Northern Hotel. An
hour after the shooting the body of a
man was found propped up against the
old Marshall Field wholesale house. A
bullet had drilled a hole in his abdo-
men. In his pocket was found a let-
ter addressed to "G. Stack, 109 Frank-
lin street." It is supposed he was one
of the burglars who were chased by
the police.
The body oi` the man which was
found in the street early Thursday
morning has been identified as that of
Louis Lenger. Langer was shot in the
'abdomen by George Strack while at-
tempting to rob the "Corn Palace" se-
inen, owned by James L. Strack. He
managed to walk to the corner of Mad-

ANOTHER FOUL MURDER,
AN OLD MAN FOUND DEAD IN A
POOL OF HIS WN BLOOD.
Tragedy in Nova Scotia -The Murderer's
Footprins an Important Clue -The
Weapon Used was an Axe.
A despatch from Horton Landing,
N.S., says: -A fearful tragedy was
discovered on Sunday afternoon, 'when
Mr. Oliver Fuller, a somewhat aged.
and infirm old man, living alone in
what is kneevn as the River road be-
tween Avonport and Waibrook, was
found lying on the kitchen floor in
a pool of his own; blood, Iwiith two
wounds in his skull, his face all hacked
up, and his throat cut, all having evi-
dently been made with an axe.
Mr. Fuller had been living alone of
late, in a house a small distance from
the road, and about half a mile from
elegant: else. His nearest neighbour is
about three-quarters of a mile away,
The first thing which made •the peo-
ple think that anything was wrong
was on Saturday night, when the little
daughter of Mr. Davison used to go to
the postoffice, get his mail, and take
it up to' him, She did this on Satur-
day, and on approaching the house
was surprised to find it locked up. She
went and got her mother, and they
went over and had no better success.
They went home again, and got Mr.
Davison sviho went and milked the
cows, which were now lying in the
barn. They did nut think anything
was wrong, but supposed lee was away
and unavoidably detained. However,
Mr. Davison went over on Sunday
morning, and still seeing no signs of
life went for Mr. Stewart, Mr, f'uller's
nephew. Between them they decided
to break down the door. On doing so
they discovered Mr. Fuller as before
told. Tihey immediately notified a doc-
tor and acoroner. Mr. W. C. Ham-
ilton was erornptly on the scene, and
empanelled a jury.
Dr. Fuller deposed that the cuts on
the head were made by an axe or other
sharp implement, and could not be
self -Inflicted. Mr. Stewart and Mr.
Davison deposed to finding the body,
and Dr. Fuller stated that death was
evidently caused by the blows on the
head, any of which would have caused
death.
The jury put he a verdict in accord-
ance with the facts, imputing murder
to a. person or persons unknown.
A warrant was immediately issued
for the apprehension of two tramps
whose actions were very suspicious,
and who were amend yesterday after-
noon. Constable Denison was imme-
diately sent on the trail.
It seems that the old main must have
been murdered about one o'clock on
Saturday, as he seems to have been
in the act of making a fire for din-
ner, and from what people know of
his habits, he evidently gots his dinner
between one and two o'clock. The
murderer came behind, and used, the
axe with which the old man cut his
wood, which was very sharp and
heavy. Saturday being muddy she
murderer was tracked up to the house
and back to the road and as far up
the road as what is known as Deep
Hollow bridge. He evidently wore
rubber boots, 'which were badly, worn,
as the heels are very, distinct, while
the front part of the. foot is spread
out badly, as if there was not much
sole on them. After committing the
deed he locked the house and threw
the axe into some bushes (by the road-
side. He evidently carried off the key,
as it has not been found. An impres-
skin of his tracks has been taken, and
will be produced as evidence. No. mo-
tive can possibly be ascribed for the
crime. The old man had no money and
no enemies.
Excitement runs very high, an& if
the murderer is caught it will go hard
with him. A crowd quickly gather-
ed, and blocked up every approach, so
only meagre news can, be obtained.
WOMAN OUTLIVES MAN.
Of the fourteen reputed centenarians
who died during the past year no fewer
than eleven were women, says the Il-
lustrated London News. Out of the 188
persons who were declared as over
ninety years of age at death, 108 were
women. The superior longevity of the
female sex is a well-established fact.
To some extent, it depends, of course,
on their more sheltered method of liv-
ing, but by no means exclusively, as
the women of the laboring classes show
a g reat vital tenacity as well as those
who have an easy time of it in the
world. The vital power of girls is dis-
played in babyhood, for though about
104 boys are born to every 100 girls,
the females have more than overtaken
the deficiency before the end of the
first year. In other words, the belief
of old nurses that "boys are harder
to rear than girls" is a true one.
For the first time, another point
in vital statistics as between the
sexes has recently been investigated.
This is the relative periods of sickness
in life. It is only lately that there
have been any female friendly societies,
and hence the statistics as to the days
of illness among women have been
largely conjectural. But if these fig-
ures are to be received as reliable, woo
men have more days' of non-fatal sick-
ness in the year on an average than
men at all, periods of life, except be-
tween fifty and sixty.
Apropoa, a very curious fact has been
unearthed by a private committee ap-
pointed by the leading life assurance
societies: The subject of their inquiries
was the mortality of persons engaged
in the liquor trades. It is well es-
tablished that the publicans are at the
lowest point in the list of dangerous
trades. This, you understand, is not
teetotal talk, but fact, and it is cur-
ious, because publicans cannot be
drunkards -a man who is not sober, as
that term is generally received, soon
loses his license. But the new fact
revealed by the assuttance. sbcieties'
committee is yet more inexplicable ; it
is that the women who are engaged on
their own account in the sale of drink
are not nearly so injuriously affected
by it as the men. As any excess of
indulgence in alcoholis undoubtedly: far
more injurious to the female organiza-
tion than to the male, it can only be
ud d that the
concluded women n who take the
responsibility of a license on themselves
are endowed withreater self-control
and moral strengths: than their com-
peers of the other sex.
Women submitted to the tempai:ion
of the tradein their capacity of wives,
however, do not come out so well. Bar-
maids also are affected unfavorably by
their occupation.
A TERRIBLE YOTAGE.
EXPERIENCE OF A PASSENGER ON
THE LAKE WINNIPEG.
Swept by High Seas -Water in the Engine -
$Wows -Tho l*assengers and CrewC011.sinuously haling,
One of the passengers of the Beaver
line steamer Lake Winnipeg, a man
named,Ilapp, has described the terrible
experiences of that vessel on her long
passage across the Atlantic. The Lake
Winnipeg, Capt. Taylor, left St. John,
2v a3., on Feb.- 14, for Liverpool, and
only arrived in the River Mersey on
Thursday last, 25 days out. It appears
that the first mishap happened on Feb,
17. Very 'heavy weather was experi-
enced, tremendous seas swept over the
steamer, and water poured into her en-
gine -room to such an extent that her
fires were extinguished. The pumps
wer eput to work but they became chok-
ed, and Capt. Taylor summoned the
crew and passengers and informed them
that the situation was serious, and
that all hands must go to work with
buckets in an attempt to clear the
ship. This was done continuously for
seven days, during which the Lake
Winnipeg, drifted, helpless, about the
ocean. Many cattle and sheep died
during this time, and the lifeboats were
held ready for launching. But the
weather was so severe at one time
that several of the lifeboats were
smashed, and after one terrible roll

and the Lake Winnipeg's position was
rendered more dangerous by a severe
list to port. This, however, enabled
the starboard engine to be worked for
a colaple of days, when the heavy seas
again swamped the engine -room, and
the bucket brigade was reorganized,
But all the efforts of the passengers
' and creno in this direction had no ef-
I feet upon the volume of water she had,
shipped, and the crew asked Capt.
!Taylor to allow the Lake Winnipeg to
• be taken in tow. The captain, how,
ever, showed great courage and de -

spiring confidence among the crew. Ten
terrible days of battling with the
• naves followed, during which all the
:live stock was jettisoned, and every
• soul on board worked at baling water
from the steamer with the buckets
' or in shifting the listed cargo. Just as
things began to look a little brighter
and hope returned it was found that
the wheat, which formed part of her
cargo, had begun to swell, and a large
quantity of it had to be jettisoned.
Leery daybrOught fresh troubles for
tie unforunate Lake Winnipeg. Sev-
ere). men were injured while at work,
anti the supply of fresh water gave out,
anti it became necessary' to condense
seawater for drinking purposes. Gradu-
ally, however, the storm abated, and
the battered steamship limped into
port, after one of the most severe
struggles with the elements recorded
for a long time past.
A STAY IN GIBRALTAR.
interesting Things That One sees Ashore
ithile the Steamer foals.
Gibraltar, apart from being the
world's most famous and impregnable
fortress, is a very interesting place to
visit. There is a constant bustle and
stir about the place, and plenty of color
and change about the streets and mar-
ket places. Side by side with the Eng-
lish "Tommy Atkins" in his red jacket
will stalk the solemn Moor from Bar-
bary, who is there for the peaceful
object of disposing of his chickens and
market produce. Then a merry party
of ladies from the "officers' quarters"
will come riding through the town, es-
corted by the latest arrival subalterns,
or by some jolly midshipmen from the
manro'-war in the bay, and be blocked
in the street by a troupe of gayly
dressed Spanish girls noisily driving
before them a herd of mules with pan-
iers laden with fruit and vegetables.
Then, if you sail about the hay, there
are steamers arriving to coal at every •
hour of the day, some with their hune
dreds of happy passengers, homewards
bound from India, and anxious for a
rim ashore before the four -days' trip
through the Bay of Biscay home to
Plymouth, and others, little cargo boats
hound to some Old World port in the
Mediterranean to deliver a prosaic
cargo of coal. There are pleasant lit-
tle trips either by sea or land. A
few hours' sail and you are in Morocco
or Tangier or you can visit the Span-
ish fortress of Ceuta on the African
side of the straits. Altogether Gib-
raltar is a place to stay a week in,
and people who just view the rock from
the deck of their steamer and go on
to Genoa or Naples, miss a great deal
of interesting pleasure.

James A. Bell, of Beaverton, Ont.,
brother of the Rev. John 'W esley a3e11,
S.D., prqstrated by nervous headaches
A victim of the trouble for several
years.
South American Nervine effected a
complete .cure.
In their own particular field few men
are beter known than the Itev. John
Wesley Bell, B.D., and his brother Mr.
James A. Bell. The former will ne re-
cognized by his thousands of friends all
over the country as the popular and able
missionary superintendent of the Royal
Template of Temperance. Among the
20,000 members of this order in Ontario
his counsel is sought on all sorts of oc-
casions. On the public platform he is one
of the strong Wren of the day, battling
against the evils of intemperance..
Equally well known, is Mr. Bell in other
provinces of the Dominion having been
for years a member of ' he Manitoba
Methodist Conference and part of this
time was stationed ininnipeg. His
brother,Mr. James A. Bell is a highly
y
respectd residepnt of Beaa•egrton, where
his influence, though perhaps more cir-
cumscribed than that of his eminent
brother, is none the less effective and
productive of good. Of recent years,he w -

A. Bell Lae leeh sadlymarred by severe

second bottle of the medicine was takeni
and the work was done. Eraploying his
own language: "Two bottles of South
American Nervine immediately relieved
my headaches and have bunt up m»

riot deprecate the good our clergymen
and social reformers are doing in the
world, but how ill -fitted they would be

system as the wipe reformer treats the,
