Tile ferry boat had started across the iver, but was unable to make its doi on account of the great amount of tloatinff ice in tin river. The boat was crushed and pitched in an ice jam and for hours was in desperate straits. All of those on hoard were finally rescued, but only after great dillkulty.

There were Mf children among the passengers. Small boats dually made their way to the side of the ferry boat, as it lay in the river surrounded by cakes of ice, but the rescuers were unable to get the boats close enough to permit the passengers to step aboard. was necessary for the men to car ry the women and children across the ice jam from the ferry boat to the small boats, by means of which they finally reached the shore.

The story which the police have attached to tin crime is frightful talc of degeneracy and tin drug habit. Thabius was a keeper of the ward for tin feeble minded in one of the largest asylums in this city. He was addicted to the drug habit, having a thirst lor absinth. i be mysterious disappearance of patients in his ward led to an investigation and the arrest of Thabuis. The theory of the pidii e.

is that the man, when craving for liquor, murdered his barges. lje was given 20 cents a. piece for curing for the bodies of those who died in his ward and it is believed that he mercilessly strangled many of the feeble minded to death to secure the small fee and satisfy his thirst. The bodies of those who died in the ward have been exhumed and it has been found that they had all been strangled to death. It is thought that the razed man killed one every other day for more than two weeks.

H. Gillespie and each was lined $2a and bold in $50 bail for appearance at court. A brother of Dailey. who lie came noisy (luring the proceedings, was promptl escorted from the room toy two patrolmen, upon the command of "the mayor, and placed in a ecll, where he was compelled to remain for several hours he had cooled olT.

When the firemen reached the box in response to the call Sunday morning, they at once discovered tracks leading from it. These they followed up Kailroad street; out Vine, through an alley to Pine, across a field, to an addition to the Dailey house, in l'rowntovvn. So incensed the firemen that had they caught the makers of the nicks they would have dealt summarily and evevely with them. Martin Dailey and Frank Mitchell had 'been seen near the box corner of South Alain and Kailroad streets and were afterward espied running up Kailroad street. Mitchell was arrested and stated In the presence of Mayo.

'Gillespie, Chief of police Price, and his father, that Dailey had pulled the box ami then both of them had run. At the hearing' last nipht, he denied having ever mude this confession. A number of firemen, many of whom we. present from the Kngle and Niagara, companies, teti lied to having followed the trail lead i ing to the Dailey house. Dailey secured a relative to pay his $25 line and go his bail.

Mitchell' was not so fortunate and will pro ha i bly be compelled to await in the county jail the sitting or the grand jury. For turning in i false of lire there is a penalty of a imprisonment and $1U0 line. alarm year's CABINET CONSIDERS GRAIN SPECULATION Washington, Dec. US.
