John Vaughan is still in the east aud it is thought does no kuow of the fire. Telegrams sent U him have had no reply and it U tbo.ight have not reached him. Until his return it can not be fold whether th st ib!e will be rebuilt or not. It. is likely it will not, but other business put in there. Nothing has been done with regard to a grand jury.

POOR FELLOW COULDN'T KILL HIMSELF WITH A PISTOL And Came and Asked to Be Put in Jail Probably Crazy. Today aa unkempt-locking fellow walked into the side yard at the jail, banged on the door until it was opend and then asked to be locked up. He gave his name as Richard Lawrence and said he had walked six miles, that he had committed an assault on a thirteen-year-old girl aud had tried to shoot himself rather than be arrested: that the bullet struck a boce and flattened and fell down his pants' leg. Then he walked in from southeast of CenUr.ille. He had a i-ealiber revolver, and the shot wound was found over his heart; only the bone prevented an instantly fatal wound. The sheriff is looking "the matter up. The man is 5 years of age and is thought to be insane. There has been no report of any

Mary Nkdyke Smith. Fall River Mills. Cal., August 31, 1901. Most intelligent people understand the chief historical events connected with Gen. Robert E Lee's surrender at Appomatox Court-house, on Sunday, April i, 1865. But there is a mass of unwritten history connected with it, stored in the recollections of surviving participants and witnesses; or in some cases jotted down in memoranda and filed or pigeon holed for use jy some future Froude or Macaulay. Most of this is exceedingly interesting to most people, though not rising to the dignity of history because of its detailed personalities and smaller descriptions of men and things. To understand what lead up to the surrender at that particular time and place an outline map of the surrounding country shouia be kept in mind. The Confederate retreat from Richmond bi gan on Sunday, April 2. via the Richmond it Danville railroad, running nearly due south from Richmond. Gen. I-e commenced his imain retreat from Petersburg the j next morning by marching obliquely southwest so as to intersect the R D railroad at Appomatox Junction. Gen. Grant's army being chiefly at or south of Petersburg, a corps under Gen. E. O. C Oid was instantly put in motion and by forced marches succeeded in reaching Burttesille Junction in advance of Lee s forces. Another column under Gen. Meade sought tointercept Lee's forces by striking his line of retreat north of Appomatox river. Sheridan's cavalry led the advances of this column and reached the R. D. railroad, at the obscure hamlet of Jetersvilie, ahead of Gen. Lee. Sheridan captured many commissary and quartermaster trains, secured a few prisoners and tore up the railroad tracks, so Lee could not use it on the 5th. Soon after noon that day a courier from Sheridan reached Grant (who was with Ord's corps) informing them of his success and asking Grant to ride over there. (Coi:nuei oa Fourth Pag-)

A WISE SPIDER

Who Writes "William McKinle" on His Web in a Bold Hand. A most interesting animal has been discovered in th north end of the city, near the C. II. & M. depot, in the shape of a big spider who can write. His web attracted attention to himself and he has been much visited todiy. These spiders are in this locality, and there are two pairs of them." They live in adjoining yards on north third street in pairs. Their bodies are about the si.e of a smail hickory nut and their Sri T1IK OATUKKIN;

They s';em to be very tame, pay no attention to visitors and goon TjrtriTicr thir wobs - One of them i n vrtt t4 Hssjrylolxr pdllte his shop. The web is - in the grape vine. It is very large, out tne threads are no longer than thoe in other spider web-., except in the center It is pure white. In the center of the web is a mass of white threads making a nest, and from it runs a sort of support nrade of pure white threads very white and strong. They look jast exactly as if a very light handkerchief had been hung in the vines, and then a tracing had been made with what looked like as if it may have been mart with a stub pen. This crosses right across the web from bottom to top It is a half inch wide and alout eight inches long. It is just like a written inscription and reads, as a bold penman would write it "William McKinley." The attention of the Earihara college faculty was called to this curiosity in hopes that they could take one of the spiders to the college, where it could be studied. The result of this investigation will be interesting. There is certainly no fake about thus spider story. It is a most interesting and surprising piece of work of in-ects. INTERURBAN MR. BRAUN, THE SCHWAB; ENGINEER, HERE. He Thinks There is Doubt of the Building of the Line. No Mr. Braun, the engineer, who is surveving the route of the Schwab line from Portland to Richmond, is in the city and giving additional certainty of the building of the line. He is a bright engineer and impresses one with the fact of his earnestness Yesterday he met the people of! Spring Grove corporation, and considers it settled that the road will come down the middle of the pike at the Miller hill, which will be cut down. They expect to cross the bridge there and come into the city via tenth street, west on Gaar street, south to D and up sixth street to Main, where they meet the local line. Mr. Braun is from Columbus, and sent out by his firm to do the work (of locating the line. He is in the employ of the line thus far and has no other connection with them. He says that from what he has seen and the work he has done he can see no reason for doubt that the line will be built- they are going at it in. a

him t1 ev ;eun buiness. Thf line will be a verv easy one to build, with every possibility of a' ; tirst sped track. It will be very i nearly direct, and the worst place in lit will be the Miller hill. The bal- ! acce is very level country and the I line can and will be one of the best j in the country. He says also that ithey have the "complete right-of-way 1 now to the city limit, with the exi t i 1 eeption of a tew pi aces- w men. ce says, ' will cut r.o ice either way."'
