About 9:30 o'clock last night young Lawless while in the back yard after- water saw a man trying to break into residence' of Martin Dilgert which stands diasronallv across from nnr norxnwest or the police station.

The young man rani over to the nolice sta tion and notified Chief Seip. By the time the chief got to the place the 3uld-be burglar had taken fright and fled. There was no one at home, and the chief went to Turner hJall. Mrs. Dilgert hapened to be there and she and the chief went back to the resi dence an'd made an investigation.

The jock on one of the wlnaows had bepn displaced and the window par tially raised, but eveidently the house had not been entered. It is supposed that the party knew the premises: J. H.

C. Solomon ard W. F. Gu.hrie will argue a case before the supreme court tomorrow of more than passing interest. The case is one which involves an exceedingly delicate point of law touching descent and distributions; and is style John Ernst vs.

N. D.1 Kisiler, administrator cf ilis estate of Hen'fietta Ernst, deceased. July 1G, 1891, John' Ernst entered into an ante-nuptial contract with Henrietta Juerke, in which it was agreed that Ernst after marriage should own his property fully as if the marriage had never taken place, with all rights of disposition, by bequeathment or other wise. Mrs. Juenke in the contract makes the same reserve as vo her own individual property of all kinds.

The marriage took place. Mrs. Ernst died in the spring of 1897, and N. D. Kist-ler was appointed her administrator, she having died intestate, leaving no children, and having made no sale or other disposition of her property during life.

The husband west probate court and claimed that he was the lawful heir to the property left by i the The probate court decided that tne individual property cf de- i ceased belonged to the estate; but an appeal was taken to the district court where Judge Alden, sitting for Judge Bland, decided that the property be- 1 i i a i longea to me nusuana.

P. Belmont's new weekly paper, that the underground rapid transit scheme would put through during Mayor Van vvyek's administration and that the work would be done with private capital. The announcement was contained the following paragraph of an interview with Mr. Crokerr "During Mayor Van? Wyek's administration the tunnel vnli be begun. It will be wide enough for four tracks.

the least it should cost tbe city cannot build it. The city, has neither the money nor tbe credit, under the law, to build it. Th city will need all its money oar schools The tunnel will be built by private capital. There are men with the money and the inclination to build it. They will come forward.

When they do, they will meet with every proper encouragement from the present city gov eminent and from Tammany halli They will have to agree to those requirements which the city will impose touching the time in which the tunnel must be built and the character of the work, and give a proper bond to carry them out. Then the city will make the necessary grants. My own belief is that the tunnel will find its beginning within the coming-year. FISH IN AN OYSTER SHELL. A Sea Bass Discovered by a Cook Where Rockaway Was Expected.

The cook in the fashionable cafe in the New York Times building was open- ing Rockaway, oysters the other night when he gave a yell, dropped hisknife and jumped away from the bar. As he had pried apart the shell of an excep- tionally large specimen the oyster apparently jumped three feet from the shell and began flopping about the bar. "Oh, Lord groaned oneof the loungers, "my wife told me I'd see things if I didn't step drinking. This is my finish." "Shut up," snapped a more observing one; "that's no oyster. Its a fish." It was a sea bass, a little over two inches long, and beautifully marked.

It lay gasping on the bar. Somebody put it in a tumbler of water. Oyster crabs and cracker crumbs were dropped into the water, and the bass ate hungrily. It is supposed that the oyster was feeding the bass swooped down on it, to be caught when the bivalve closed its shell. Thereupon it ate up the oyster.

CREATES FAMILIES. Wifeless in Jersey City Placed in Emliarrassins Position by Ih-dustriocs Gfasn Takers. There is trouble in Jersey City, X. and 40 or 50 happy homes are on the- verge of bsiijr broken up forever, whil the school census that recently was taken there is the cause of it all. The men who were emplovcd to collect tli names of the school children receive live cents for each name gathered, and this the enumerators regarded as a good thing.

Other irregulartics are alleged against the census, but this particular one has taken the breath away from many a prominent citizen. In order to swell their income the enumerators created more children, and attributed them to men who were unmarried, to men who had no children, and in some cases to parents who never existed. It was a sad, sad shock to City Treasurer S. D. Dickinson, who is wifeTess.

to And that he was credited with having four children in the public schools, and many other well-known citizens suffered in the same manner. Chief of Police Murphy had his men make an investigation, and that is how the fraud was disclosed. DEVISE HUGE LIFE RAFTS. Frencli Expert Plan ri Device -v Wliieli to Avoid Another Conr-Sosne Disaster. In connection with the construction of new French trans-Atlantic liners, io run between Uavre and Xew York, the French government is urged to test practically a scheme of carrying" two great, well-equipped rafts, so constructed that they cannot be submerged.

These rafts will be carried as shade decks, and in the event of a ship sinking as the Eourgogne did, the pas sengers will have saved. The French experts who present this scheme will make the raft to be car- ned forward 82 feet long, 23 feet wide externally, and 19 feet wide internally. The after raft will be 100 feet long, and cf the same width as the forward raft The two rafts will temporarily accommodate 2,000 persons. Car Ferry Between Florida, and Cuba. A ferry for loaded cars is talked of between Tampa, and Havana.

The Scea. according to a southern paper, is to build suitable tracks at both ends and load cars in Havana with fruit and perishable goods, run them on the ferryboat, and then scud them away tcross the gulf to Tampa, run them on the tracks, and then away to Eorthern destinations. -June Bngt tn November.

E. church last night and were well attended. Dr. Grimes is an earnest worker, a man of excellent judgment, with a pleasing personality that has already greatly endeared him to his own people, and made him exceedingly popular among the Atchison people in general. Asa Beyers, who died last Saturday, was elected a member of the board of trustees of the Atchison County High school.

As he had not qualified a knotty question presents itself as to that position. The question so puzzling seems to be as to whether Mr. Walker, the outgoing member who would tave been succeeded by Beyers hadi he lived, holds over or should a member be appointed by the board of county commissioners. The law says that an officer shall held his office so long, or until his successor is elected and qualified. As Beyers never qualified, it would seem that Walker should hold over until the next general election.

This is the view taken by County Attorney Crowell. That seems to be the opinion of most of the attorneys of Atchison.

Mr. Andreas immediately dispatched himself and within an hour brought back a little handbook on "The Art of Corresponding." Miss Irwin glanced over it and found the identical letter.

Interested parties in a scheme In to build a lime from Topeka to West- morel and, bonds were voted in townships in Shawnee county through which: the line was run. Six miles of the track was laid and a borrowed engine was taken over tlhe line so as. to cover the bonds votted. Mr.

Pomeroy betrayed' a tenacity and pkick worthy of success, but the venture finally fell through, and the track was taken), up. Westmoreland is one of the few counties in Kansas without a railroad. It is a town of some pretensions ami is in- the midst of a rich agricultural and sJock raising region. But a look under the surface of this scheme may open! up a little ray. The fact Uiat the objective point of the Unci is Waterville, coupled with the that the Gleeds are among the directors are Sante Fe people, is significant.

The Central Branch lines west of Vater7 ville have not yet been soOd. The chartering of ihis new line would indicate that the Santa Fe is after one of the branches in or is being used to bluff the Missouri Pacific Tho possibilities, if not probabilities, are that a mutual understanding will be-reached between the Missouri Pacific and the Santa Fe, and one company- take one branch and tbe other com-r- pary the other branch Soothing, healing, cleansing.

SHOW A SMALL TOTAL.

Importations of Manufacture from Great Britain Into tbe United States for 189S. Importations of. manufactures, from Great Britain into the United States seem likely to show an unusually small total in the year 1898. The Kovember. statement of exports from Great Britain to the United States, which has just reached the treasury bureau of statistics, shows in nearly every case that the exportation of manufactures in the 11 months ended November SO were less than in the cori-esponding months of earlier years.

Imports- of manufactures in the early part of the year 1897 were abnormally great, and a comparison of the 11 months of 1898 with the corresponding months of 1897 would in many cases be misleading. A comparison, however, with the corresponding months of 1SDG and 1S93 shows in ncarlj' all cases smaller imports in 1S9S than in either of the earlier years. The imports of the 11 months of 1S9G were the smallest with a single exception since 1S90, and those of 1S93 were less than in the three years which preceded it. In nearly all classes of manufactured articles the figures of the 11 months of 3 898 show a reduction as compared with 1S9G and 1S93, and a very large reduction as compared with 1S97. In jute manufactures the imports of the 11 months of 189S were 95,287,300 yards, against 143,984,300 in the corresponding months of 1S97; in woolen yarns the drop was from 55,000 pounds in 1S97 to in 1S9S; in worsted yarn, from 074,300 pounds in 11 months of 1897 to 192.9C0 to 102.DOO in 1893; in woolen tissues, from yards in 11 months, of 1S97 to in 11 months of 1893, and in worsted tissues, from yards in 11 months of 1S97 to 12,700,400 in the corresponding months of 1898.

Judges of a class which considers commercial matters are to be elected during December, and women will be allowed to vote for them.
