Cleveland, C., Dee. l0,—Five times in* dieted by the united States Government at the exact,, Minute that her train roll- ed intu the station, Mrs. Cassie L. Char,4ppiel; came home to Cleveland to- esety. She . was greeted with jeers, loots and hisses by the crowds that had gathered in the depot when her train !arrived, howled at by hundreds gathered fin front of the Federal building. The last sound that reached, her from the -outside world, as she passed into the stuffy, • i11 -smelling • office of Sheriff . Barry, in the county jail, was the hoot of derision from the people massed in front of the doorway. She made uo attempt to give bail, and after a brief atop in the office of the Clerk of -the United Staten Court, was taken to pail, Biro is held to -night in cell No. 14, in the women's department of the jail, :and her palatial residence on Euclid :avenue,, of which the furnishings alone are valued at $200,000, is occupied by her maid. ' Her courage held to the last, but her body failed her, and when she find mounted 'the three flights of stairs leading to the tier of cells where she ;d 'to remain, she fainted. But for the aid of Deputy United States Marshals • Iamb and Kelker, who, held her up and almost carried her along as she mounted the stairs, she never would have been able to reach her cell. Breathless, pale, and staggering, she was barely able to reach a chair, as the steel door of the women's corridor swung open to receive her. She sank 'feebly into. the seat, her head fell backward, and but for the marshals she would have rolled to the floor. Water was quickly brought to her, and in a few seconds she revived and was again a woman of business. .ler first 4r, was that her lawyer, Sheldon . Kerruish, be sent for, anti she was soon engaged in a conference with him, concerning her defence. 'There is but small chance that she will ,be - able to leave the jail before her trial: There are now seven'inclictmenis against tier, live additional charges having been laid against her iu the Federal Court this afternoon. It would require surety to -the amount of at least X100,- 000 to give her freedom. She -has her- self no idea of giving bail, and Will remain in jail. She has the best cell in the place. Mob Swarmed About Cars. Mrs. Chadwick's train was scheduled to arrive at 11.10, but it was three homers late before reaching Cleveland. The delay served to increase time crowd of the curious at the station, When the train finally relied in; there was a rtmsh from time further end of the iron fence, that kept the crowd off the tracks. This mob had broken through the police swarmed over the fence, and through •the gate upon the tracks, so that when the train came to a standstill there were about 1,000 persons about the ears. As the train drew out of Ashtabula 'Mrs. Chadwick said : "'lite next stop evil1 be home,' anti immediately coin- utenced preparations for leaving time tied satisfactorily. She begged to be informed is site or her father could be of any assistance, and said if they could help her they would return im- mediately, Mrs. Chadwick; reiterated her former statement, that no her husband and stepdaughter could be of no assistance to her here, she wished them to remain abroad, that they might be spared the humiliation attendant upon their pres- ence in Cleveland. No Friendly Face. When the train drew into the station at Cleveland Mrs. Chadwick caught a glimpse of the crowds. She instinctively shrank back, and said: "I cannot see why .all these people should be here," After time `train had. been emptied of its passengers, 'United States Marshal Chandler, of Ohio, was introduced, to Mrs. Chadwick. She asked that she be taken out as speedily as possible, and, preceded. byEmil Chadwick and Freda Swenson, te nurse, the party made its way to the platform, and thence to a carriage. Although in her own city, no friendly face greeted her at the car, and Mrs. Chadwick stepped into her carriage as if she had been an entire stranger. The crowd had become impatient with the delay of Mrs. Chadwick's appearance and jeered. and whistled. 'When Mrs. Chad - wick's son and her faithful nurse ap- peared on the cat' platform and alighted, Mrs. Chadwick was recognized by the crowd, and there was a spontaneous outburst of jeers, whistles, and coarse epithets. Shouts of "Here's -the notes," and "Where's the money?" greeted. . Mrs. Chadwick, and as the spirit of the mob dawned upon her, she- seemed to grow faint, and wavered as though about to fall. It seemed that but for the deputy marshal's supporting band she must ut- terly collapse. Mrs. Chadwick stated her age to be 33 years, her residence as Cleveland, and the United States as the country of her birth. - Five Indictments. Time Federal grand jury to -day return- ed the indictments against Mrs. Chad-. wick, President Beckwith, and Cashier Spear, of time Citizens' National Bank of Oberlin, at the exact minute that Mrs. Chadwick's train arrived (mere. The indictments against hers. Chad- wick are five in number, Three of them charge her with aiding and abetting of- ficers of a National Bank to defraud the institution, timid two charge her with conspiring against the United States: Of the four indictments against Presi- dent Beckwith, of the Oberlin bank, two charge him with misapplication of the funds of a National Bank; one with conspiracy to commit an offence against the United States, and one with certi- fying cheques when no funds' were on hand. The indictments against Cashier Spear are the same as those against President Beckwith. 1a♦ Faithful Dog's Death Watch.

THE WIRELESS TELEORAPii TO OUR LITTLE TOTL&NO Christmasvlile, Santa C,ausland, De- , that ; is there such a. rumor ?" comber 19, 1001.— Your Christmas- vi:lo correspondent has just had an interview, with Santa Claus at his ern -intro Seat on the Taffy River, and is glad to bo able to announce that the threatened postponement of Christmas, owing to the toy strikes, has been averted. Time calling out of the Union Dolls and Amalgam- ated Jumping Jacks in September has, of course, seriously delayed Mr. Claus' preparation for tho season, but by yielding on a few of the disputed points and agreeing to arbitrate oth- ers a modus vivendi has been estab- lished by willich all may be in readi- ness for the celebration of Christ- mas on December 25, as usual. It was in respect to this matter that I called upon Mr. Claus and obtain- & the following interview; Ur. Claus received me in the model room of his delightful residence at Toyton, on the Taffy River, where he spends what leisure time be has. I found him engaged in designing a new style of nursery game called Automobile. It was an Ingenious mechanical arrangemnnet in which an automobile starts at one end of a road, moving at first very slowly, but gradually increasing its speed until near the middle of its course, when it runs over a number of wood- en mannikins. The falling of the mannikins releases a small zinc poiicsma.n on horseback, wdlo starts in pursuit of the automobile and failsin his d' but upon it i gains rapidly, It' purpose to arrest the occupants, be- cause at the moment he roaches the side of the fleeing vehicle the mach- ine explodes and blows the whole toy to pieces. "That will be the most popular toy of the season if 1 . can ever get it working ,safely," said Santa Claus, as he explained the ingenious mechanism to mo in detail. "It is extremely realistic and the expio- slan at the end Imparts to it a sort of Fourth of July flavor that will prove most appealing to time small boys of the day. it has a moral purpose, too, in teaching the I young not to exceed the speed limit, but I can't get the hanged timing to blow up without danger to these who pray with it." "Will you let it go out this sea- son 7"' I asked. "Not unless I overcome that dif- ficulty," said Sa;ndta Claus. "I don't want to get parents down on me for endangering the lives and eyes of their children, and I am t'e: m much afraid that for a novelty; this year they'll have to be content lvith my, football automaton. This is all ready'. Come In here and I'll show you how It wariest." And my' host immediately; took me Into the next room, where he intro- duced me to one of the most charm- ingly. Intricate, but delightful toys I have ever seen. '1`weuty-two little mannikins aro lined up, eleven on a side, in oppos- ing formations.

"It's it crack - lug food toy}, I think; equalto in liberal education, ell}?" i And, Of course, I agreed with bits. I "Mr. Claus, said I, as we retired to his library, "I mimeo you have I heard the rumors. that have been "Yens," said I, "and it is causing much disquiet among 'the ,young- sters. It has been stated that ow- ing to your troubles with' tlmo Union Toys, you hh,ve announced that Christmas must be celebrated on the 4th of next July!, instead of Decem- ber 25, or else the youngsters will be put upon a basis of the half full stocking.

"You . may announce with my authority that I shall start out as usual on Christ- mas Eve, and shall not overlook a single sock that is duly registered in my books. Nor will there be any reduction In the bulk of the gifts supplied. Some of them, it is true, may, be less carefully made than in past years, because we've had to do six months' work practically in two. Time paint on our wooden mon- keys probably won't be as dry as It ought to 'pa, smut I shall leave word with every monkey delivered warn- ing mothers of the fact, and sug- gesting that time babies be forbid- den to put them In their mouths until after New Year's." "How do you suppose the rumor started 7" I arcked. "It is rather too bad to circulate tales of that sort to harrow up'thesoulsof the ex- pectant kids" . C1 "Oh, it is not at all surprising," replied Santa Claus. "Fact act is, Ifanoy I was myself responsible for it. You see, when the walking Jumping Jack from the Toy Brotherhood came around here and threatened to tie up the whole Christmas business unless I acceded to certain prepos- terous demands, I told him plainly that he Could go ahead and call out every Toy in the place. 'Then there'll be no Christmas," said he. 'Oh, yes, there will, said I. 'We may have to put it off until the Fourth of JJuly, but there'll ha a Christmas fuse the same.' I haven't any doubt that the rumor you speak of has grown out of that retory of mine." "The demands were preposterous, were they 7" I piked. "Not all of them," said Santa Cgaus. "Some of them were quite reasonable. When the monkeys ask- ed for an extra coat of paint and a quality of paint that would stay on when a balmy chose to try to lick It Siff, it seemed to me a wholly reasonable request. I yielded on time question of baby proof paint right away. When the Plush Dogs demand- ed btiiks instead of s.7ueaks, i could not deny that there was Justice in their request.

"In this case my' sympathy is with the t.vll„ ,hut I can't really help them." "What have you In novelties thea year, rite. Claus 7" I asked.

But those are all exceptional cases." "There have been no demands for blocks of stock in Industrials this year, as there were last?" I queried. "On the contrari' the children won't have 'em," said Santa Claus, with a laugh. "Ono youngster to whom I gave a thousand shares of the United States shipbuilding Trust has sent them back because she un- derstands they are assessable, and she declares she has no use for what she calls Ingrowing presents." At the Saline Old Stand. ",Well," I observed, rising to take my leave, "I am glad to be able to telegraph such good news home. This has been a hard year, and a great' many people are losing faith in some of our solidest institutions. tI will be a great relief to all to hear that Santa Claus is still doing business at the old stand and that there will be no postponement of the fes- tivities of the Yuletide." 'Good," said Santa Claus, "and you might add to that—" Iters air. Claus rose up cautiously and walked to the door and peered out into the hall, as If to make sure that no one was listening. "You might add to that a state- ment of whieh is yet avery great secret," be continued. "I -m going to be—incorporated." "What, you?" I cried. "Yes," he said. "Next year I shall be a corporation with a. capital Po1 of P $500,000,000, divided up into common and preferred shares. Da you think I can be !foaled at par?" "Oar finaneors seem to be able to float anything nowadays—except ships," I replied. "'What do you ask. for a share of stook—$100?" "One hundred do.lars." c,ied Santa Claus.

Boston, Dec. 19.--A story of hard- ship and miraculous escape from death was related by the crew of the New York barkentine Emiia, who were brought hero to -day by -the Clyde Liner New York, which rescued the crew and Captain Iteemie last Sunday, fifteen hours after the vessel struck on the Dia. mond Shoal, the mizzen mast went over- board, and at time same time a great sea wrenched off the stern to the aft hatch. Each huge billow lifted her en- tirely clear of the bottom at times, and, with each receding wave the great gaps in the hull widened, Finally time bow of the vessel began to go to pieces and in a short time was torn front the hull at time forehatch. The main deck gradual- ly went to pieces. Time crew attempted to construct a raft, but as the storm continued the task was abandoned. The forward deck- house remained. attached to a portion of the main decks, and when seas swept it away the captain, Imis wife, and crew were able to hold their positions though the waves dashed over them frequently and. they were obliged to stand in a foot of water, drenched. The wreckage drifted about twenty miles in a south- easterly direction And in the path of the coast steamers. At noon on Sunday time steward found matches in a tin box, and by tearing off parts of the interior of time house was able to start a fire on the remaining portion of the decks. The fire attract- ed the attention of the New York, and although the sea was stall running nigh, all the castaways were taken from the wreckage.. ♦.* Curious Bridges. Perhaps the most remarkable bridges in the world are the kettle bridges, of which Cossack soldiers are expert build- ers. The materials of which they are constructed are the soldiers' lances and cooking kettles. Seven or eight lances. are pasesd under the handles of a num- ber of kettles and fastened together by means of ropes to form a raft. Suffi- cient numbers of these rafts, t e'each of which will bear a weight of half a ton, are fastened together, and in the space of an hour a bridge is formed on which an army may cross with confidence and safety. un.readiness for the Christmas sea- times.
