HIS LONG z i The Wisconsin Self-Starver Quits After | Fifty-Three Days of Aistention. | Racine, Wis., Suly 12.—John \ Zachar, the Caledonia faster, after an | abstention from food for fifty-three | days, has at last been induced to eat something. Some time during last March or April he and his father had some difficulty in reference to wages or a distribution of property. This 60, worked upon the young man’s mind that he became morose and undertook to starve himself. The estrangement of the father and son was complete. for during the entire time of his fast the father never vis- ited him nor never inquired after his health. An old friend of the family learned the facts and arranged a meeting yesterday. The two talked long and seriously over their diffi- culties and finally matters were settled. Then Zachar declared that he would eat and endeavor to live, and was given a few spoonfuls of milk, although he did not retain it, and at intervals during the afternoon took milk with pulverized crackers. This did not seem to give him any pain, but he could not retain a particle of the food. He seems unusually bright and feels certain that he will live. Zachar had not been shaved since he began his fast, and his hair and beard hang down over his face. He is terribly emaciated, being reduced from 180 pounds to 90. His eyes are dull and heavy, the lids drooping down as though there was not suf- ficient strength to hold themup. He reminds one of a person in the last stages of consumption. His skin is dry and is like parchment while his bones protrude prominently from all parts of his body. In reference to the new turn taken by the case, local physicians say that it is probable that with proper care the patient will live and ultimately recover his wonted health. The local profession do not look upon his fastas an absolutely genuine one, insisting that he must have taken substantial nourishment, because it would have been absolutely impos- sible for him to have lived so long. Those who have been with him con- stantly say he has taken no nourish- ment for fifty-three days. William's Australian Herb Pills.

La Junta, Col., July 15.—Late Saturday afternoon aman dressed in ordinary cowboy attire entered the bank at La Junta, covered the eash- ier, Rufus Phillips, with his six shooter, and ordered him to put the bank's money in a bag which he had brought in for that purpose. With death staring him in the face the cashier obeyed him without a mur- mur. When all the cash had been turn- ed over, the robber ordered the cashier to open the back door and | go out in the rear of the building. The rebber had his horse tied con veniently and mounted and rode off, keeping the cashier covered with his gun all the time. A number of parties saw the rob- ber while he was mounting his horse, but so quick was he in doing the job, that no one realized the situa- tion until he was gone. He rode a} very fleet horse and was out of sight before any one thought of giving pursuit. A posse of citizens headed by dep uty sheriff Polk are after the thief | and will not return without him. No one knows the exact amount the rob- ber secured, but it is variously esti- | mated at from $16,000 to $28,000. Belva Lockwood is no cheap poli- tician.

KILLED HIS BABY SISTER- The Atrocious Crime of a 11-Year-Old Kentucky Boy. Frankfort, Ky., July 18.—The mot youthful white criminal ever confined within the walls of the pen- itentiary was brought here yester- He was so childish in appear- ance that the officials of the peniten- tiary, when informed by the sheriff of Breathitt county that he had come to leave his a prisoner, remark- ed in almost one breath: “My God, you're jesting, aren't you? That's a baby, and this ie no baby farm.” The boy's name is Linnville Combs. He was1l years old last March, weighs 70 pounds and is up- ward of four feet in height. He murdered a little sister three years old and was sent up for life. To-day the little fellow was called from his work to tell all he knew of himself, and he entered the cellhouse with his dark brown eyes open wide in astonishment that any one here could have any business with him. He was asked his name, and replied: “Linnville Combs, of Brethitt coun- ty.” Sitting in a chair, twirling his straw hat in his hands, pushing back and falling forward, and with his feet barely touching the floor, he looked so innocent it was hard to be- lieve he had but three months ago committed an atrocious crime. The family live about twenty miles from Jackson, on a branch appropriately named Tomblesome. From what the child states, the mother is doubt- less living in adultery. He said his mother’s name was Dinah Combs, and his father’s name was Barlow Stacey, while his mother lived with Sams Collins. In his mother’s home there were four children beside him- self, the yeungest being Nannie Belle Combs, an infant not quite 3 years ofuge. Said Linnville, when asked why he killed her: “Well, Sums Collins told me he'd give me & pair of boots and suspenders if I'd do it.” ay. Said the querist: “Tell how did it.” “She was just walking along the floor, and I hit her in the head with a skillet. She fell over in the fire, but she was dead already. I pulled her out of the fire and threw her into the creek.” In that artless way he related the horrible deed, and said that within a half hour Jennie Campbell, a girl related to him, saw the body floating in the water, and that he ran out and told her that he had killed Nannie Belle himself. He then waded into the creek and drew the body ashore. It was buried, and all talk about it hushed up by the family, excepting on the part of the little boy himself, who was quite proud of nis deed as well as igno- rant of is consequences. In abouta manth he was arrested and taken to Jacksonville, where he frankly relat- ed the story to the court and jury. Collins was arrested and put on trial, but subsequently released because there was no proof of his instigation of the crime excepting the statement of a child—an infant, in law, whose oath and testimony could not be ac- cepted by the court. Lindville, how- ever, was sentenced to the peniten- tiary for life. The boy, or baby c&n- vict, says he never went to school but attended once or twice a Sunday- school. When asked if he didn't know he would be punished for his crime, he said: “What's that!” He was then asked if he didn't kaow he did wrong in killing his sister, and ought to be hanged for it. he replied: “No; I just killed her. Sam Collins you ; told me to do it.” “Did you ever hear about the | Lord at Sunday-school, Linnville?” “No, I don’t know anything about him.” He is, with all his blind illiteracy. | & very intelligent-looking. bright- eyed child, who, under a system of mental and moral training. would, doubtless, in the course of years. de- velop into a useful citizen.

Seth Low and Five Others. New York, July 18.—The First Ward Republican association in Brooklyn to night received another such shock as it experienced a year or so ago when Gen. Catlin a Re- publican war-horse, had his name ex- punged from the roll-book and en- listed in the ranks of the triumphant Democracy. Six leading members of the association headed by Seth Low, who twice led the Kepublicans to victory, sent in their resignations giving as areason that they could not support the candidates and plat- form of the Chicago convention. They have not gone quite so far as Gen. Catlin did and joinedthe Dem- ocratic associatson, but nevertheless they are regarded as likely to be ac- tive allies of Cleveland and Thurman in thepresentcontest. The ex-may- or’s fellow seceders are: Wm. G. Low, John L. Moffat, George B. Moffat, G. B. Coggerhall and Henry B. Averill. An Epigrammatic Statement.

H. Sheldon, a representative and inte!- ligent colored man of Evansville, arrived to day to complete arrange- ments for the national convention that begins here July 25. He is a democrat and is using his influence for Cleveland and Thurman. Having paid particular attention to the general feeling among the color- colored ed people in regard to polities, he states that none of them find that they are any worse off under demo- cratic administration than they were under the rule of the republicans. They have also discovered the falsity of such statements as “the colored man will be disfranchised, the colored people will be put back again in slavery, and all colored employees of the government will be discharged if Cieveland is elected.” Within the last month he has travelled through Virginia and West Virginia and he says that the negroes there are verily flocking from the ranks of the republicans. They are holding independent conventions and nominating ceunty tickets, composed entirely of men of their own race. In his part of the State, down in “the pocket,” the feeling is very strong, and he thinks half of the colored voters there will support Cleveland. What is Being Done for the Orphans. ev. L. B. Payne, Superintendent of the Methodist Orphan home, Ma- con, Ga. writes: We have had a great improvement, in the health of our children by the use of Swift's Specific. We have among the chil- dren some who had scrofula—nota- bly one case in which it was UNMISTAKBLY HEREDITARY. We got some of Swift's Specific and gave it to this case, and in a short while it was cured sound and well. It was as bad a case, I think, as I ever saw, and had been under excel- lent physicians without permanent benetit. We have been giving it to all the children as a health tonic. We have four children and one seam- stress who, for years have suffered intensely every spring with erysipe- las, and they have beed taking Swift's Specific only in small doses as a health tonic, they all, without excep- tion, passed through the spring without a touch of this complaint. A young lady of the institution, who has been with us for years, has been troubled with a most aggravat- ed rash ever since she was a child. She tried all the known remedies that are prescribed for it with no benefit; but she has been cured by taking Swift's Specific, and has no return of the trouble.
