William Vanaell was convicted of the crime of petit larceny before Judge Mack November 28,1888, and received a sentence of three years in the penitentiary. The crime for which he was convicted was stealing scarf pins. Two yonng men, resident* of Rim, 111., while awaiting a train at the I. & St. L. depot, went to sleep and Viinaeil relieved them of their scarf pins. He was arrested the next afternoon and both pins were recovered from him. He has been an inmate of the Plain field Reform School, having been committed to that institution in 1882 for car breaking, together with his al, Michael Kinney. They were released from the school in 1884 on tieket-of-leave. Both returned here and in a very short time they began operations. In Jane 1885 they were ijotli arrested at Sanford,'Indiana, for car breaking. They were both arranged before Judge Mack and pleaded guilty. Owing to their age, being only 17 yeans old, the Judge re-com-mitted them to the Reform School, but warned them if they were ever brought before him again charged with crime, he would trive them the full limit. In a short time after their arrival at the school they both escaped. Vansell was recaptured and returned but Kinney escaped and was never caught In the latter part of 1887 Vansell was discharged from toe school and he returned home. He got into two or three scrapes but Judge Mack desiring that he should reform if such were possible, discharged him after soundly lecturing him. He behaved well for a little white but attain resumed his former crooked operations and was finally settled as before stated for three years. His father is a respected and well to do farmer of this county and did everything in his power to get the boy to lead an honest life but all to no avail. At one time shortly before his conviction, his father purchased him a flue watch byway of encouragement. He wore the watch about two weeks when he finally brought it to the city and sold it for a mere trifle.

A CONTEST OF WITS.
Bow One K*w Tork X«wtp»per Man k*t Decidedly tte Bmt rf (fa* Joke. {Special OonwpoBtow.l
New York, April 3.—The newspaper workers who frequent the Astor house rotunda are having considerable amusement over a little skirmish of wit between two well known and popular worker* in the profession, who, for sake of the story, may be called Jones and Brown. Brown is a veteran war correspondent and editor of a daily, and Jonee Is a well known special correspondent. Mr. Brown, while he is by no means a violent Prohibitionist, is not what one would call a drinking man, and, though he visits the rotunda, it annoys him to have bis name appear in connection with constant revelry. Jones found this out, and in the spirit of mischief began to run paragraphs into his various letters always mentioning Mr. Brown in the same line with some well known bar. Mr. Brown retaliated through his paper. But Jones' paragraphs began to annoy Mr. Brown-'s family, and that astute gentleman cast about for some method by which to deprive tbem of their force. One Saturday afternoon he took his wife to a matinee, and, like a good husband, sat with her in the box all through the play. After the performance he strolled down Broadway and met Jones. "You were not in the Astor house this afternoon, Jones," said Brown, his face beaming with innocence. "No who was there?" replied Jones. "Oh, Dr. Norvin Green, ex-Mayor Wick ham, Alderman Gedney and a lot more. We sat there from 2 till 4, must have opened a case of champagne and bad a charming time," said Brown.
The next morning the paragraph appeared in Jones' column with picturesque embellishments. Mr. Brown and the case of wine were in close conjunction.
Mrs. Brown saw it at the breakfast table first she was grieved and then puzzled, "You were with- me yesterday afternoon between 2 and 4, William," she said. "From 12 to 5," responded the gentle William, promptly. "But Mr. Jones says you were in the Astor house between 2 and 4 and were drinking wine with a lot of men," remarked Mrs. Brown, referring to the paper. "Oh, that's only one of Jones' yarns,'* said Brown, carelessly "you know I was with you."
Thou a spirit of peace settled like a white winged dove upon that household, and Jones' paragraphs no longer annoy the philosophic Brown. Do.«n to date the joke is on Jones.

He pasted and repassed them several times without a look, although his own father and several old friends were among them.

A Bone Attacked by Una.
1
°*The other morning as Luther Evans, a son of L. L, Evans, went to the field for his team on the Barter Darling place, near Soquel, he discovered that an animal, which he supposed was a dog, was worrying one of the horses. As he drove nearer he saw that the animal was not a dog, but an exceedingly lively specimen of the California lion, which was making a vicious attack upon the horse, biting and scratching it with leonine ferocity. The horse was making the best defense possible, rearing and kicking, and was &ided by his mate, but the lion was very evidently getting the best of the fight and would soon have secured an equine breakfast. As youug Evans, who was on horseback, rode up the lion crouched Dn the ground for a moment and ran to She woods. The horse had been badly bitten on the flanks, neck and belly and was nearly exhausted from loss of blood, but under proper treatment is' expected to recover.—Santa Cruz Surf.
Fishing in Florida.
Carl Michael, the only professional catfisher in the state, reports business brisk and a good demand. He is catching 400 pounds per day of this toothsome delicacy, and sells all he gets to city dealers, who ship the meat to northern hotels, where it is served up as bass and sheepshead to the unsuspecting guest. He strings ropes between the pilings along under the docks, and on them attaches bis hooks with short lines about four feet apart like a trawl line. He visits tbem with, a lioat every day and removes the captures, getting one cent a pound from the dealer. The heads and fins are cut off before shipping, thus removing suspicion as to their humble and lowly natures. Florida's resources are as yet almost unknown, and this industry is in its infancy.—Jacksonville TimesUnion.
Terrorised by Rabid Cats
There is a great scare in the Mt. Moriah neighborhood near Burgin, Ky. It appears that some time ago a cat in that vicinity was bitten by a mad dog. The inoculated feline spread the disease until now nearly every cat in the township has the rabies and the people are almost panic stricken. The brutes are far more ferocious than niad dogs, and actually pursue people. A few days ago Mina Agnes Bonta, one of the best known young ladies of the county, while walking through the yard, was attacked by one of the rabid animals, which pursued her to her room and kept her the reuntil she was rescued by members of her family. More than a dozen persons have been bitten.—Pittsburg Dispatch.
Rats to England.
The plague of rats reported in some portions of England continues to be as bad as ever, and all sorts of plans are tried for getting rid of the rodents. News also comes from the Laccadive islands of a similar experience, the rats having destroyed the coooanut plantations and reduced the inhabitants to destitution. The plaster of Paris cure is being tried. It consists in sprinkling plenty of powdered plaster of Paris upon boiled rice. After eating it the rats become thirsty, it is raid, and when they have drunk the water hardens the plaster of Paris and kills them.—San Francisco Chronicle.
Prepared tor Her Death,
lizzie O'Connor, employed by the Waterbury, Conn., Manufacturing company, died FHday. A few weeks before she bad dreaaaed of seeing an open grave toward which was carried the remains of a young girl. She accepted the dream as an omen of her death, and named her pall bearers and chose the rohe in which she was to be laid out after death. The day she made her arrangements she caught a cold which developed into pneumonia and resulted in her death.— New Tork Evening Sun.
