ESCAPED IN BEER BARREL Accused of Killing a Man, An Italian is Buried For Days. New York, April 20.--Michael De Lauro's escape from the law when sought for the murder of Frank Roz- 20, of West Park, last summer, as appears from the disclosures of a Neptune township official, was more sen and .mystetious than any- thing ever told by a French novglist. De Lauro was accused of the murder of Frank Romo, of et Park, the tragedy being the result of a love al fair. Ate the' murder last summer De Lauro disappeared and although detectives and a posse scoured ° the country for miles about the hiding place of the murderce was never dis Chon 5 It appears now,. from the story of the township official, that De Lauro, on the night of the murder, was se erected in the house of a countryman. At break of day he was taken to the sand hills of West Park and literally buried ina deep gully at the side of the hill. Here he remained for a week, being supplied with provisions and water. On the seventh day after the murder, Dé Lauro was placed in When the steamer reached the pier in New York, the barrel, with its hu- man freight, was driven to the dock ol an outgoing Italian steamer bound for Naples. it was carefully lowered into" the hold, and as the lights of Sandy Hook drew. dim from the mailing steamer the suspected mprderer was rel from his » "hiding place, and, mingling (with his : companions' was rae and a rousing welcome by his zeacucte, ie i Dow. subd living peacefully in Italy, istur! hy fear 'of the law and safely 'con cenled from détection.

By the Development of Power at Niagara, Chicago, April &.--It was maintain ed in the house committee on rivers and harbors that Niagara river * was greater in volume at the present' time than it had been in years; that the i Juse-ol its waters for the development of power xo far had not detracted from the scenic beauty and that at Toast thirty per cent. of the stream might be taken before any difference in the of water, could be detected by the observers, This statement was made by F. A. Dudley, vice-president of the Niagara Falls Electrical Transmission com- pany, whose plant is now in the course of construction on the Cana- dian side and whose contracts for the furnishing of power are largely on the American side, The normal flow of water on the American side, he said, was a stream of water four feet thick over o fall 900 feet in width, On the Canadian side the normal flow was fourteen feet thick over a fall 1,500 feet wide. The taking of this water for power purposes to the full extent now authorized by franchises would dimin- ish the thickness of the American stream over the falls by between three and four inches. ------ Wife Leads Blind Chaplain.

"Maude Adams, the actress, is to have a private Pullman theatre car, which when finished, will be the only vehicle of its kind in existence. 'the plan is to relieve the actress of some of the inconveniences of one-night stands and long tours across the con- tinent. The car is to be a combina- tion of living apartments and a com- pletely equipped theatre for the re hefirsal of scenes and oneact pieces. It will be known as the 'linker Hell, and will cost wnen fully furnished from $25,000 so $30,000. The new picee, although, full of the most delightful Barrieisms, was re otived dubiously. "Josephine" is far too flippant and English polities far too serious for the pair to agree. Be- sides, Mr. Barrie has liberal leanings, ang his quips naturally touch off the tory weaknesses, As the hulk of the theatre-going public seems to be tory, many a joke went begging, and there was a "foggy" atmosphere gen- erally, The gay Josephine, who tra- Vesties Mr. Chamberlain is a skittish and self-seeking damsel who flirts with and engages herself to many and jilts in turn. the leader of every party, In Germany where the dramatic clas. sics figure so often in the theatres, close account is kept from year to your as to the representations of vari- ous .authors, 'Statistics recently pub- lished and believed. to relate to the subventioned theatres of the empire, show that Schiller leads all other au- thors, with 2210" performances.

Von Schonthaus heads the list of modern authors, with S19 perform- ances, and Suderman follows with 760; Hauptmann with 647, Fulda with 450, Ibsen with 414, Sardou with 226; Oscar Wilde with 186, Bjornson with 171 and Tolstoi with 24, While loyal to its own, it is seen that Germany is catholic in its recognition of geni- us, of whatever land. -------- Ants Kill A Rattler. Kansa§ City Journal. John Park, of Billings tells an in- teresting story of the way in which a colony of red ants put to death a rat- tlesnake which dared to disturb their abode. He was out hunting when he saw the. rattler, and started to put a load of shot into the reptile, wher he noticed that it was headed straight for an ant hill of unusual size, and waited to watch the proceedings. It had hardly gotten half way aeross the {mound when a big red ant hastened to the attack, ana sunk ite red nip- pers * into the snake's body. In less than two minutes he was joined by the whole colony, 'which practically covered the body of, the rattler, ach one sinking its seissor-like blades in- to the intrucer's body. The snake be. gan to thrash and squirm, but the ants held on like bulldogs, The rat- tler's fury grew so great that he sunk his fangs into his own body: and then straightened out after a few more con- vulsive efforts to get away, and was dead in less than ten minutes after the first ant had mounted his body. ------ Abolish Mosquitoes. - A Memphis, Mo., man has discovered 8 new way to get rid of mosquitoes.

HAS COMICAL IDEAS. Wealthy, Hampstead Gentleman Goes to Bed in a Corn Sack. An enquiry otherwise of a wealthy retired gentleman, now an inmate of Borcatton Park Asylum, is being conducted in England. A num ber of medical and other witnesses gave evidence as to Mr. Gilchrist's behaviour. One said that respondent placed his food on the floor and would only eat it in the order in which it was tasted by a favorite cat. He said that at the creation fishes were form- ed first, then fowl, then pigs, and his deduction was that they should have fowl for mid-day meal, and pig at night. He wore an enormous amount of clothing, including a corn sack next his skin, and put still more clothing on when he went to bed. He had ac cused his present guardian of 'murder- ing two patients. The enquiry adjourned. as to the insanity or was ------ 2 Past Finding Out.
