Witnesses were aout for and his fine was thereby Increased to $10.80. although ho had $53.08 on his person when nrrojtod ho refused to pay the fine until after shackles were fastened onto him , piovlous to being put on the streets to work his fine out.

This show Is remarkable In one respect , and that is in preventing the usual army of fakirs and swindlers following it up , Wo have not board of a single case of "roped In" or "short change" In connection with the Robinson show. Nor was there any boisterous conduct on the part of the employes. To say the show , both circus and menagerie , has never been surpassed hero Is but to state a fact observed by a largo majority of the so who attended , The clown , John Lowlow , Is the best wo have seen for many years.

MODEST HEROISM , An Incident of the ljniunlto Explo slon Hitherto Suppressed , NEW Tnov , Fla. , May 21. To the Editor. DEAR Sm : I noticed iin the BEE a few days ago an item In reference to the finding , some distance from town , by n conplo of members of the nldormanlc Investigating committee , of a warped and lonesome looking car coupling , "supposed to bo a relic of the gteat Rock Island explosion - plosion of 1883. " What recollections a rollo of that memorable day bring to ono of the lieutenant ] who was into al ] the affairs of the day , prearranged and accidental , head over heels I Ono Incident of horolo bravery connected with that terrible expoalon , which , but for the knowledge of employes as to what was in the car , and their prompt action in giving the alarm , would cer- t&lnly have resulted In many horrible deaths , occurred that was worthy of ex tended notice , but which was not made public at the time bccauao of the well known modesty of the hero , who bought up myself and other nosing rnmiuators for news and secured silence. The in cident occurred to a gentleman , after the car was well on fire , and whllo everyone ono who know the destructive contents were waiting and watching for hot to go up and make kindling wood and small scraps of ev erything nearby , rescuing a toddling youngster from certain death. The little ono was wabbling slowly toward the Inno cent looking magazine of deadly destruc tion , when the gentleman seeing It ant expecting ovary necond that the explo sion would occur , dashed up the track past the burning car , and , snatching up the Innocent child , hurried it out of dan ger , and had just sot It down In a place o distant safety when the car , giant pow der , buildings , tracks , etc. , flow In al directions. With n full knowledge o : what was to occur at any Instance , I say the act was ono of bravery and Qonnlne heroism , and I never altogether forgave Jerome McOlintook , th gentlemanly am unassuming freight agent of the Rock Island , for ho was the hero , for buying mo off to keep It out of the paper , thus spoiling n naif column breeze. 0.
