warrants for the arrest of Frederick
Lorl(t and Frank McDonald sworn out.
He suspected these men of having
something to do with his cash. Long

and Patrick Healey, two witnesses said
that Lorlg had tried to get Ennis drunk.

rase of Lorlg's arrest.
THE WATER CUT OFF.
Ihe Uospital Obliged to 1'so Fall
llrook Water.
There Is much dissatisfaction among
the members of the staff of physicians
at Emergency hospital slurp the Insti
tution has been in operation. It has
been receiving water from the Crystal
Lake company, but they have now been
cut off from this supply uud put In the
Fallbrook mains.
The water from this source Is not so
pure or free from dust as that from
the Crystal Lake company's mains. The
water has to be filtered before using
and an operation could not be attempt
ed with this watur to use. The wuter
from Fallbrouk is always black after a
rain. The directors will probably take
some action in regard to the matter.

MONTROSE. i-
Many exceedingly complimentary re
marks were heard here on the "Our
Woman's Patter." The able and care
ful treatment of the different well chos
en subjects certainly called for merit
ed laudation.
Yesterday I asked Miller S. Allen If
the Democrats of this county would
hold a convention this year. "Certain
ly, In August," said that shrewd leader
of the Democratic minority. "Yea. and
let me add." said he In a manner show
ing he meant It for the press, "that It
will be harmonious and regular
and no back-bitting snap mid
winter affair and we hold It more
to satisfy some Republicans than
anything else." He told the latter part
of the joke to Editor Cruaer, who will
undoubtedly use It one of these hot
days.
Edward Frlnk Is a farmer living
about one mile from Montrose, near
Jones lake, and the Lackawanna and
Montrose railroad runs through his
land. Of late Mr. Frlnk's collie dog
has been missing for hours every day
and Mr. Frlnk's son followed him on
Thursday to satisfy his curiosity as to
where the dog spent his time. Imagine
his surprise upon following "Tige" to
a clump of bushes back of the barn to
find two black snakes engaged In a
game of hide and seek or follow the
leader, with "Tlge" as a third member
of the happy party. Repeated calling
had no effect and Anally the reptiles
were killed. The dog evidenced every
sign of gritf, howled and bayed and re
fused to be comforted. Mr. Frlnk's
son left the spot, but "Tlge" refused to
go and when it came the hour for the
dog to go for the cows he was absent.
This time both Mr. Frlnk and his son
went to the bushes where the snakes
had been killed and found the dog
stone dead. It Is supposed that he In
some way attempted to do something
with the snakes and that enough life
remained In them or one of them to
have Inserted the poisoned fang, for
the body was badly bloated.

TRI E SOLDIER OK r'ORTl'S F-
Earlqu Morgan Travclod Far and Pled a
a Major Uoneral.
New York Herald.
In Cllrardot.a little village on the east
ern bank of the Magdalena river. In
Columbia. South America, there died on
December 2 last a true soldier uf for
tune. Enrique Morgan, a major gener
ul in the Colombian army, but a native
of West Virginia.
During the war of secession In the
United Stntes he had been a favorite
"orderly" with the Confederate gener
al, Lorlng one-armed Luring, as he
was called and. when the latter subse
quently went to Egypt Morgan followed
liim there, and became a captain In the
Khedive's urmy. Thing of military
inut'tlon, he Joined n party of Greek
surveyors In the Soudan, with whom he
learned something of practical engi
neering, but, contracting smallpox and
supposed to be dying, he was aban
doned by his companions.
Upon his recovery he found that tht
natives had robbed him of everything,
and he became a "tramp" In Northern
Africa und. Southern Europe. Too
proud to apply to diplomatic or consu
lar officials for assistance, he walked
to the coast, worked his way across the
Mediterranean sea and thence through
Italy and France to the port of St.
NaKnlre.
Seeing a ship advertised to sail for
Americn, he offered to work his pass
age across the Atlantic, which offer
was accepted. The vessel landed him
penniless in Barranquliia, Colombia,
where he enlisted as a soldier. By dint
of hard work and close attention to his
duties, he was successively promoted
through all the grade of corporal, ser
geant, lieutenant, captain, major and
colonel, and llnully was appointed brig
adier general and chief of engineers. In
this capacity he constructed, with the
labor of troops, the greater part of the
railway between Glrardot and Juntas
de Anulo, as well as the difficult cart
road through the cordlllera of guindlo.
During the revolution of 188,1 he cap
tured the Important place uf Tunja,
with Its extensive armory, for which
service he was made u major general.
To a very giuut degree he possessed
the confidence of the government. He
took no part in Its political affairs, and
this lack of party atllliutiou, his un
swerving loyalty and his well known
disposition to obey all orders were
quulitles which endeared him to his
superiors.
