The Brooks Locomotive Works were officially transferred to the American Locomotive Works at precisely 6 p. June 20. 1901. Notices have been posted in the different departments as follows: Notice is hereby given that the American Locomotive Company has acquired and taken possession of and now owns all singular and real estate, fixtures, plant, and property in the city of Dunkirk, heretofore occupied or used by the Brooks Locomotive Works.

Employees and operatives are requested to continue in the performance of their respective duties until otherwise ordered. The American Locomotive Company, James D. Sawyer, Agent.

The engineer said the accident must have happened Just east of Westfleld when the train was speeding along at 60 miles an hour. It Is the opinion of the engineer and several mechanical experts, who examined the engine that the spring hanger became loosened In some way and dropped slightly and In swaying and twisting about, happened to shove one end In among the spokes of the driving- wheel and as the wheel revolved against the entansrled hanger, the spokes were torn away. The engine was left In Dunkirk. The engine Is a new one, having been turned out by the Brooks Locomotive Works in May, 1901. An old book of historical value to Chautauqua County was destroyed In the fire that burned a portion of the Chautauqua County Jail a few weeks ago.

In it were recorded incidents and events as far back as 1805. Its loss has just become known. Dr. H. C.

Taylor wrote to Deputy Town Clerk Ward of Mayville for some statistics that he knew the book contained, and was informed that it was burned. What the doctor wanted to know was concerning the four bodies that were put off at Barcelona soon after Perry's battle on Lake Erie. One of the men was a brother of Commodore Perry and a resident of the town of Portland and lived before the battle on the farm now owned by Fred W. Post. There are four mounds between Barcelona and Westfleld.

under which are supposed to rest the remains of the four men alluded to, but there are no markings and there is nothing on record as far as known relative to the bodies. Barcelona was known at that time as Portland Harbor. IN THE T0NAWANDAS James Rand of North Tonawanda Is making extensive improvements to his home in Vandervoort Street. Charles Blaine of Tonawanda was arraigned before Justice Rogers of that vilage yesterday on a charge of violating the bicycle ordinance by riding on the sidewalks. He was fined J2 after being given a severe lecture.

The alumni banquet of the Tonawanda High School was held last evening in the big auditorium of that school. The class of '01 were the guests of honor.

Carr for the past two years, is one of the Jatest targets for the spleen of the police officials the 3d Precinct.

Davis, ever since he was born, has lived with his mother at No. 200 Clinton Street, who, since he-was seized with his present vital illness, has supported him. Last Monday, according to the affidavits in the case, Ralph Davis Was arrested by Special Flesh in company with a woman known as Olga. No cause was assigned for the arrest of the prisoner, and for nineteen hours he was kept in a cell at No. 3 Police Station without any intimation given to him of why he was arrested.

Davis was then taken before the Police Court, where he was charged with stealing money from a man whom he had never seen and did not know. Davis was asked how he pleaded to this charge and entered a plea of "not guilty." Thereupon the charge against him in this respect was withdrawn and a charge of vagrancy Was preferred against him. Flesh and other officers testified to his vagrancy and he was sentenced to fifteen days' imprisonment in the Erie County Penitentiary on the strength of the testimony given by these officers. HIS MOTHER'S AFFIDAVIT. Davis made affidavit of the circumstances of his arrest and the manner in which the charge was trumped up against him.

The prisoner's mother, Mrs. Anna Davis, made an affidavit of the fact that her son was' no vagrant, but that ever since he was seized with this wasting illness, she had supported 'him, and would continue to support him until he either died or recovered. Dr. Francis J. parr testified that Davis was no fagjrant, but 8 was A very sick young man, in such a physical condition asitei render his in the penitentiary extremely dangerous.

The 'doctor testified that he has been- in -constant daily attendance on Davis for two years. These affidavits were presented to Judge Emery by Attorney Carleton II. White yesterday morning, who immediately allowed an appeal from the Judgment of conviction, and Davis was released from the penitentiary. CUOSS FALSELY CHARGED, The cases in which Special Cain O'Connor of the 3d Precinct tries and succeeds in railroading people to prison seem to be without number. Another which has" come to light is that in which William A.

Cross was arrested on the charge of vagrancy, and when his case came up for hearing O'Connor swore that the prisoner was a vagrant and should be sent to prison. The facts of the case are that abou? six months ago Cross was employed as cook at the Cheltenham Hotel. The rules of the house iwere that he had hours-between 2 and 5 in the afternoon oft. One afternoon, while walking in Seneca Street, near Chicago, minding his own business, he was stopped by Specials Cain and John O'Connor. Cain O'Connor told Cross that he had better come with him and took him to the 3d Precinct Station.

There he locked up without being given permission to send for friends. The next morning he was arraigned in sunrise court beforel Justice Rochford and the charge of vagrancy preferred. Cross protested that he was innocent of the charge, and said that for six months previous he had been working every day as cook at the Chel tenham. Cain O'Connor swore that the prisoner was a vagrant and had no vis ible means of support. In looking about the courtroom Cross saw three policemen whom he knew.

He calied upon therh to back up his statements, which was done. The court then discharged the prisoner, and for once Cain Connor fell down In his efforts to get innocent people into prison. IN OTHER PLACES. Orleans County. Thursday evening occurred the marriage of Francis J.

He asked every officer fat-sight upon what charge he was ar-rested, but no reason was assigned for --v tf eprlving him of his liberty. "Vfc'Ori the following morning. Friday, 14th, Mahan was arraigned before Rochford and theh for the first he was Informed that he was Tinged with being drunk. Thereupon asked, permission to send for counsel, as he was at a loss to under-stand why he should be accused of ln-A BXicationwhenJhe was perfectly sober had not; a drop of liquor the time he was arrested.

to send for counsel was denied the Jl'ig Prisoner. Mahan then informed the Justice that he was employed as a JSrmaker -at the shops of the Lehigh den and inevitable end which must terminate your young and Innocent existence at the hands of some bloodthirsty Spaniard?" This last was delivered In a highly melodramatic style that brought forth a burst of laughter. "But you shouldn't wear it In your hat, my boy. Over your heart, that's the place for it: every bullet would shy from you. Haven't you read of the luck of soldiers wearing things oyer their hearts sweetheart's pictures, mother's Bibles, lucky coins, buttons, and siich like?" During all these sallies Rallston had only looked at the speakers with a lazy, good-humored smile round his mouth and a twinkle In bis blue eyes.

He was a man of few words, but the lines and puckers around his eyes and the little dancing twinkle, relieving their shrewdness testified to a quiet good humor. He was a man whose eyes one instinctively watched, for they talked so much more than his mouth. So now he Just grinned and tilted his chair back to a more comfortable angle, and as the men were not proof against his silent good nature they soon turned to a more promising victim. The various rumors that had been circulating were not without foundation, for shortly after that evening: the 6th were camping at Tampa, and another short Interval saw them on board the transports bound for Cuba. There the boys, learned what real soldiering was and what hard, unromantlc hardships meant.

They learned from bitter experience what it was to, be hungry and thirsty, to tramp for miles in the broilong sun.

As rk-ih sprang towards a projection of stone In the hillside Rallston was a couple of feet in advance, when suddenly there was a whizzing sound through the air, Rallston's hat was carried oft his head, and turning instinctively to catch it. he saw Finley gasp and stagger backward, with his hand to his face, then drop heavily to the ground, and, rolling a little down the Incline, lie still and motionless. 'Rallston leaped back with a quick. Indrawn breath, that was something of a gasp of horror and somewhat of a sob, but the impetus of the men rushing up the hill back of him carried him on with them, and he could not reach the fallen man.

Grasping his gun more firmly, his lips settled into a hard, straight line, and a look appeared in his eyes which is not good "to see in the eyes of a man. He had now but one idea and purpose in his mind and heart for a time. He forgot that his friend had fallen in warfare, where all have an equal chance and run the same risk. To him, in his first wild passion, it was but the murder of man who had marched beside him, sharing the discomforts, and hardships of their campaign, and who had become during the few weeks of their close companionship almost a part of himself. So with the memory of his friend as he had seen him last uppermost in his thoughts, he fought with frantic passion, taking his part in that brief, victorious battle, which planted our glorious emblem of liberty on the heights of San Juan and dragged from its place the red md yellow banner of barbarous tyranny.

The men around aim, if they noticed the almost bloodthirsty way in which he sent bullet after bullet with telling marksmanship after the retreating Spaniards, only thought the fever, of the noise and rush of the fight had roused the demon in him. Late that evening, when the men were preparing to bivouao in the trenches. Rallston crept out and looked down the hillside. But there was nothing now to tell' of what had passed that day. Hie hospital corps had given good service, and in the half light of this June evening no gruesome trace of the day's struggle was discernible.

Ever since the trouble with Cuba began they had been waiting and speculating, for they were quite convinced in their own minds that without the aid of the famous 6th Uncle Sam would not accomplish much, so when the rumor spread through the fort that they were to be ordered away to the scene Of action they accepted It as a matter of course and their Just due. The old Indian fighters rubbed their hands In glee, and those who had Joined since the 6th had been stationed at Fort Meyer were delighted at the prospect of some "fun." As the rumors increased there were many applications for leave of absence, and the roads near the fort were dally dotted with bluecoats wending their way to or returning from the city, where they had gone to tell the news to relatives and friends and take leave of sweethearts.

Others, It must be confessed, who had no relatives or sweethearts In the city, came back with suspicious-looking eyes and unsteady hands, declaring, however, they had only been holding a pow-wow for the success of Uncle Sam's enterprise. The main road leading to the fort lay glittering and warm unde? a sun Just beginning to gather strength, for its summer campaign. A muscular fellow came swinging along in the unmistakable gait of a cavalryman, now and then flapping his handkerchief about his face and mopping his brow. Having reached a shady spot, he stood for a few moments trying to create a breeze with his cap, and blinking reproachfully at the sun, which, with his energetic pace, had evidently caused him some discomfort. All at once his expression changed.

He clapped his hat on his head at a perilous angle, put his hands to his sides, rubbed himself up and down in the region of his ribs several times, opened his coat first one aide and then the other, and Inspected a substantial expanse of shirt front. A of anxiety appeared on his countenance, and he thoughtfully rubbed a smooth, rather square chin. Opening his coat again, he moved hla fingers down the inside. Then a relieved smile curved around his mouth, and he carefully took from its hiding place a little slender gold pin, with a clover-leaf bangle dangling from the end, and the smile still lingered on his face as he slowly, almost caressingly, turned It over and over In his hand. Finally he pinned it securely in one side of his cap, and, with a final mop and flap of the handkerchief, passed on up the road.
