Wild cries went out from the spectators, and a rush was made up the v to the stand. Captain Schuettler was grasped by a score of detaining hands, and the emphatic orders of Inspector Shaack sent burly detectives bounding to the rescue. For a moment violence and riot were im- m nt, but at the critical moment Carl Misch, chairman of the mass-meeting, dashed upon the stage and, hurling his Lenc to oue side, cried to them to pre- serve order. On the ground Richard Braun- schweig.a locai agitator, was waving his ha cursing the police, calling on Shaack to listen to Mowbray's explanation.

Chairman Misch addressed the assemblage in German, telling them there was no appeal from the police, and in the midst of the row the band struck up the inspiring “Marseillaise,” which was taken up by every man on the grounds until there was one great chorus. It was growing dark by this time and Inspector Shaack put a veto on a proposed speech by Lucy Parsons. This seemed to darapen the ardor of the anarchists, and when Mowbray left at 8 o’clock the meet- ing resolved itself into a pienic. SILVERITES IO ACTION. Democratic White Metal Champions to Is- sue an Address. MEMPHIS, Texx., Sept. 22.—The execu- tive committee named at the Washington conference of National Silver Democrats, will meet here to-morrow. The special purpose of the meeting is to name chair- men for the respective States, but the com- mittee will 2lso prepare an address to the friends of silver throughout the country, admonishing them of the necessity of sys- tem and acti in waging the campaign. Senator Isham G. Harris is already on the field, none of the other members having arrived yet. . To the United Press correspondent the Benator explained the address feature of the meeting, by stating that the goldites, while largely in the minority, were de- cidedly active and organized, and unless the silver element got itself into the same condition, it would be a case of the ma- jority being swamped by the minority. Senator Turpie of I[ndiana will not be present at to-morrow’s meeting, but this will not deter the other members, Senators Harris and Jerry, Governor Stone of Mis- souri, Mr. Hinrichsen and Casey Young, from proceeding with the business of the meeting. e ENTOMBED BY A LANDSLIDE. URGED Five Persons Buried in the Ruins of Their Home. THREE RIVERS, QuesEc, Sept. 22.—A Jandslide of large extent occurred Satur- day night at 9 o’clock on the Champlain River at St. Luce, Champlain County, car- rying with it the house of Zephisin Nor- mandin and burying five members of the faraily in the ruins. Three other children who heard the noise escaped by jumping through the windows. Une of them has become insane through fright. Five bodies have been dug out. The river is completely blocked, and other landslides and an inundation are feared. e FOUGHT AT A DANGE. Triple Shooting the Result of a Heated Quarrel. PARKERSBURG, W. Va., Sept. 22.— Details of two sensational murders which occurred near here last night reached this city to-day. Ata dance given atthe home of John Livery, Albert, George and Lewis Burd, three brothers, quarreled with Henry and John Cawney, and Henry Cavney knocked Albert Burd down. Oneof the Burd brothers then struck Henry Cavney, who drew a pistol and fired three shots at the Burds. One ball wounded George Burd in the cheek, a second struck Lewis in the chinand the third pierced Albert Burd’s heart, killing him instantly. The Cavney brothers left immediately after the shooting and are still at large, though the country 1s being scoured in every direc- tion by the eight brothers of Albert Burd, who have sworn vengeance against the Cavneys. All parties are wealthy farmers. A second murder occurred ubout the same hour. A colored coachman quar- reled with a Mr. Harness, a white man, on the public road over the right of way. Harness jumped from his buggy and started for the colored man, who struck him with his whip. Harness then drew a knife and killed the negro. T Y s DEATH FROM INSANITYX. Sad Passing of Lizzie Hunt, a New York Artist. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Sept. —The American line steamship Rhynland. which reached this port to-day from Liverpool, brought with it the body of Miss Lizzie Hunt, an artist of this city, who died at sea on Friday under exceptionally sad cir- cumstances. About two years ago Miss Hunt was liv- ing at a boarding-house here which was visited by a fire, in which two boarderslost their lives and several others narrowly es- caped a similar fate. Miss Hunt was res- cued with difficulty, and was so overcome by the shock that her nerves and health were badly shattered. Some time ago she wes sent abroad by her physician for a change. She was returning home, appar- ently very much benefited by her trip, when she was attacked on Friday by a sudden fit of insanity, which caused her death six hours afterward. Miss Hunt was about 35 years of age, and was an artist of recognized ability. IOCULITEDWITH POSON Dr. Burnett’s Death Caused by a Cancerous Taint in the Blood. pplled His Hand to a Light Cut on His Face After Treating a Patlent. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22—Dr. E. W. Burnett of 115 West Thirty-fourth street, who some time ago while profes- nally caring for a patient suffering from cancer became inoculated with the cancer poison, died this afternoon. Dr. Roland Jones, who attended him, will probably give full particulars of this extraordinary case. Dr. Burnett was a native of Connecticut. He studied medicine, and graduated from the College of Physicians and Surgeons in this City in 1869. For a number of years afterward he was house surgeon of B vue Hospital. The doctor was unma; 2 His only known relative is a brother in San Francisco. Something like a year agothe doctor was called to attend a Mrs. Hatch., The patient had a small pimple on her tongue. Dr. Burnett treated it with nitrate of sil- ver, making the application with his finger. A couple of hours later, while shaving, he cut a slight gash in his left cheek. To check hemorrhage he applied some alum, using the same finger as in the patient’s case. He made one more call upon Mrs. Hatch, whose case was soon diagnosed as one of cancer, and she suf- fered the removal of her tongue not long afterward. A month later a small, glandlike swell- ing developed on Dr. Burnett's cheek. He thought little about it at first, but as it became more troublesome he recalled the incident of the cutting while shaving and consulted high medical authority. The swelling of his face was diagnosed as a cancer and the doctor submitted to an overation for its removal. But the cancer- ous taint had evidently penetrated his blood and rapidly developed again, finally causing death. Mrs. Hatch from whom he contracted the disease is still living. 3 FE BATHERS ROWAED Youths Seeking Reiief From Heat in Chicago Find Death. A Carrted Under Water by Waves While Swimming In Lake Michigan. CHICAGO, ILr., Sept. 22.—Five boys and voung men perished in the lake this after- noon while seeking relief from the heaton shore. Their deaths were caused by the heavy sea created by the strong wind which prevailed all day, becoming a gale at night. Six young men went out on the lake off Lawrence avenue, Lake View, in a boat. When 300 feet from the shore all of them took off their clothes and jumped into the water. A big wave came rolling shore- ward while they were swimming around tie boat and swept them away and under the water. The dead are: Robert Beck, aged 20 vears, painter, body recovered. Otto Schweiger, 20 years old, bartender, body not recovered. Oscar Huber, aged 19 years, jeweler, body not recovered. Frank Stahn, one of the survivors, swam to the boat, bearing the unconscious form of William Guercken, who was puiled into the boat just in time to save his life. The sixth member of the party, John Felbach, also swam to the boat. The other fatalities occurred at the same hour off Hopedale avenue in the same part of the city. William Elliott and George Engel, both aged 11 years, were swimming when a towering wave broke over them, carrying them under. The body of Ellioti only was recovered. —— BICYCLE-MAKERS TO STRIKE. Employes of a Manufacturing Firm Ob- Ject to a Reduction in Wag TOLEDO, Onro, Sept. 22. — Dissatisfac- tion is said to exist among the 800 em- ployes of the Lozier Manufacturing Com- pany of this city because of a threatened reduction in wages, and a strike is ex- pected. In fact, it was said to-night that the men had formally decided not to go to work to-morrow morning, and it is known that the organizers of the labor-unions in- terested have warned outside unions against any men coming here. The Lozier Company is one of the largest bicycle concerns in the United States. ONE BRIDGE A DAY No Time Is Wasted by the Valley Road Con-~ tractors.

It isthe first time that an Indian has applied fora divorce in Okla- homa, and lawyers are discussing the affair from a legal aspect.

A Crowd at Atlanta Insists Upon Ex- temporaneous Speeches. ATLANTA, Ga., fept. 22.—Governor Atkinson dined a half dozen Governors and twenty other guests at the Capital City Club last night. An-unusual inci- dent occurred during the dinner. At first a small group of men assembled outside the club house on Peach Tree street and called for Governor Morton, of New York. The crowd grew rapidly, and Governor Morton left the dinner party, stepped to a window and made a short speech to those outside. His speech was loudly applauded. As he returned to the dinner party, the crowd yelied for Mec- Kinley, who they knew was inside. line of march for a point six miles nearer “What did you say, Morton?

The men will be ready to go te work-in the morning. The big pile-driver, engaged in setting | the timbers on the trestle-work, is now about six miles from town, and is placing | the timber foundations for the small | bridges at the rate of one bridge a day. There is great activity in the material | yards on Mormon channel, andsto-morrow a larzer force will be put at work preparing | to move the ties to the grade outside the | city limits, as track-laying will be be,zun{ there next week. Severalold railroad con- tractors who have looked over this grade pronounced it a very fine piece of work. The ballast will be placed after the ties and track are down. Iuisunderstood that crushed rock of a very hard kind will be used instead of gravel for the first few miles at least.. The arrival of a barge with ties or rails at the material yards now ex- cites but little mention, as the people are becoming used to these scenes of activity. Despite all reports to the contrary the Stockton Commercial Association isina position to meet all obligations to the Valley road. There are a dozen men in the city who would double their subscrip- tions rather than see the work of construc- tion lag for one minute. . MYSTERIOUS DROWNING. Suspicious Circuinstances Attending the Death of an Unknown. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 22.—A report was brought to the Coroner’s office to-day that the body of a man in a nude state was in the San Joaquin River, at a point near Black Slough. The Coroner went to the point on a tug, and on arriving there took the body out of the water. There was nothing by which it could be identified, and a jury sum- moned returned a verdict of death from unknown causes, with the name of the deceased unknown. On the return trip the Coroner stopped at a landing place, and the residents in- formed him thav they had witnessed the | drowning of a man a week ago, and that | he was in the company of four other men | at the time. The Coroner will conduct a searching investigation in spite of the ver- vict, as he thinks the fact that the man’s death was not reported looks very sus- picious. e FLOUR FUR CHINA. Heavy Shipments of the Product of Stock- ton Mills. STOCKTON, Car., Sept. 22.—During the past four days, including the shipment of Jast night, the California Navigation and Improvement Company has taken out of Stockton for reshipment at San Francisco to China and the south coast nearly 2200 tons of flour. This means nearly a million sacks of the size usually purchased by families for household use. DEATH RATHEK THAN HUNGER. A Suicide Besults From the Army’s Con- densed Rations Experin ent. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 22.—Bruno Paul Pettke, who was a private of the Seventh Infantry, U. 8. A., committed suicide yes- terday—a victim of the new experiments in condensed rations, which were used on a forced march of soldiers from Fort Lo- gan. Pettke complained that his stomach could not retain the condensed food, con- sisting of coffee and soup tablets. He went nothing but words?"’ asked Governor Mc- Kinley, jestingly. “Some might think, so, perhaps,” re- plied Morton. *I told them you were an eloquent orator, and would speak for me.”, “Then I shall,”’ replied McKinley, for the cries for the Ohioan were - now increas- ing. He rose from the table, and accom- panied by four other Governors, walked out and spoke for several minutesto the satisfaction of the crowd. He was fol- lowed by General Horace Porter, Governor | Atkinson of Georgia, General 0. O. How- ard, Governor Werts of New Jersey, Gov- ernor McIntyre of Colorado, all of whom were loudly cheered.

Threatened the Life of Aeronaut Busch When He Sought to Prevent the Act. CINCINNATI, Omo, Sept. 22.—What was supposed to have been an accident proves to be one of the most daring and awful suicides on record. A week ago Pro- fessor Busch of this city made a balloon ascension at the county fair at Pennsboro, ‘W. Va. Just as he was starting a fine- looking man ran up to Busch and asked to be taken along. He was told he could not go. But Busch supposed he had left and sent the balloon up, be riding on a trapeze. It appears the fellow caught the netting, and when the balloon was about 1000 feet high he jumped out. It was thought that it was an accident. Professor Busch re- turned here yesterday and said it was a case of suicide. When he saw the man in the netting he was so surprised that he almost lost his balance. He told the fellow to catch hold of the parachute rope and come down and he would take him to earth. The man re- fused, and sald he had come up to kill himself, and unless he cut loose and went down quickly he would cut the parachute rope and both would perish. He had a knife and Busch let go. Busch saw the man toss the knife aside and raise his hand as if in prayer. Then the death-seeker hurled his body from the balloon. The man, who was unknowr, was buried where he fell. pEb st Dr. Stevenson in Kentucky. BOWLING GREEN, Ky., Sept. 22— Vice-President Stevenson and daughter, Miss Letitia, arrived here this morning from Chattanooga, where they have been attending the opening of Chickamauga Park. " Mr. Stevenson expressed himself as greatly pleased with his trip South, and was enthusiastic about the park and the success of the dedication ceremonies. Mr. Stevenson and daughter will remain here several days visiting relatives.. TRl o Henry T. Kelsey Dead, ST. JOSEPH, Mo., Sept. 22.—Henry T. Kelsey, president of the Kelsey Nursery Company, one of the largesi institutions of the kind in this section, died last night after a brief illness. He was one of the ioneers of, this section, and had accumu- lnnd a large amount of property. to-night to have spent a comfortable day at Pasteur Institute. Dr. Gibier would not say to-day what he thought the chances of a permanent cure in Mr.. Hart’s case were. - He said ‘it was too soon to know. This does not mean that Dr. Gibfer is discouraged about him, however, for as in the case of some other very important experiments going on there that are practical successes the doctor does not want anything said till' everything is established beyond a doubt. Dr. Gibier said, however, that the growth of the cancer had been noticeably checked, and that, withouta doubt, the treatment | was doing the journalist good. The erysipelas serum which has been successfully applied in the treatment of cancer may be regarded as one of the most wonderful discoveries of medical science. In the light of the present somewhat im- perfect and hazy knowledge of this theory of curing disease by putting the poison of one species of bacterla against another, now unfolding itseM to scientists, the newly discovered serum has been made use of in romance in England. Taken as an almost specific cure for the dread disease that had been regarded as hopeless when beyond he surgeon’s knife, its marvelous efficacy has formed the theme of a clever story in a London maga- zine. And now that bacteriology is de- veloping new cures, even this latest hope which science holds out to humanity is accepted with a passing notice. The serum has been used with success in many malignant cases of cancer. Some physicians in Germany discovered it by chance. A man stricken with cancer was attacked with erysipelas, and the doctors noted that as the disease zained upon him the cancer faded away, as if it were a mere flesh wound, healing quickly. Reasoning from this thev made experi- ments on the bacillus in erysipelas, which was propagated in warm bouillon until the soup became thoroughly impregnated with its poison. Then the poison was taken off and preserved in bottles with a chemical to sterilize it permanently. In this state, having a consistency of bouillon and the color of muddy water, it has been used. The poison has proved too much for the cancer microbes, and eventually in many cases driven them to the wall. When William R. Hearst learned of William Hart’s serious case he made ar- rangements in Pans to send the serum fo New York and cabled instructions to his manager here to send Hart and a nurse to the New York cancer hospital for treat- ment. Mrs. Hart accompanied her son full of hopes that the serum would effect a cure. Recently dispatches from New York an- nounced that Hart had grown feverish and | weak and seemed to be fast sinking. But these symptoms came only within the last few days and were to'be expected al some stage of the treatment. They were the turning point, and now the latest newsis that the patient has seemingly battled through the critical period, resulting, per- haps, more directly from the effect of the injected serum on'his blood than from the disease itself. In such cases the chances for recovery are said to be full of hope. Sewer-Pipe for Honolul. BIRMINGHAM, Ara., Sept. 22.—The Howard-Harrison Iron Company ot Besse- mer yescerday secured a contract for sev- ’ipe for the city of Ho nolulu. The con- “ract is for a sufficient v pply to sewer the city, and the order, before completed, is ex- pected to exceed 20,000 tons. Thisis the first foreign contract of the kind secured by an American company. i e PRAISE FOR PEART. Pressed Northward Despite an Insuffi- cient Supply of Food. ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 22.—Full details of the dreadful sufferings of Peary, Lee and Henson are now becoming public. It is a cause for wonder how they survived. No other case is known where Arctic ex- plorersdeliberately took theirlives in their hands and ventured upon a most exacting enterprise with the full knowledge that their supply of food was insufficient and that they would probably perish in the attempt. Peary’s disappointment over the unsat- isfactory terminatior. of the expedition is unconcealed, but all admit that he is not responsible for the failure. No human be- ing could have done more to make the ex- pedition a success. Had he had more men, or even sufficient provisions, he would have accomplished much. All the members of the expedition leave for New York by the steamer Silvia from here Thursday next. e MISS VANDEKBILT’S GIFT. Marlborough Receives a Locket Inscribed With a Tender Sentiment, NEWPORT, R. L, Sept. 22.—Miss Con- suelo Vanderbilt has given to her be- trothed, the Duke of Marlborough, a locket with a tender sentiment inscribed within. The Duke carries it as a watch charm, dangling from his heavy gold chain with his crest, a golden key and sev- eral other trinkets. The locket is circular, with chased covers, in one of which is set a brilliant diamond. The other cover is plain and on it isa sentiment in raised black enameled letters on a white ground, which says: ‘‘Accept thou this, my heart, with all my love, though this be small.” BONE OF REELYS M, Ghastly Discovery Made by Peary on an Arctic Shore. Skeletons of Men Left on an Ice- Bound Island by the Famous Explorer. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 22.—A Re- corder special from St. Johns, N. F., says: Lientenant Peary and party brought back from the north a collection of human bones, supposedly those of one of the vic- tims of the disastrous Greely expedition. These bones were found at Cape Sabin, where ten years ago the Greely explorers found themselves stranded through the failure of the relief ship to meet them as had been agreed upon. This vessel was crushed in the iee, and the would-be res- cuers were forced to refirn home at a period when it was too late to send out an- other relief expedition the same year. In the meantime Lieutenant Greely had arrived at the point agreed upon with eight weeks’ food for his party. When he found that he was practically deserted his supply of food was made to hold out for twenty-six weeks and he was com- pelled to burn bis steam launch for fuel. It was while suffering here in the direst distress that it was found that one of the party was so disloyal asto steal from the meager supply of food. The last theft re- sulted in a courtmartial and the thief be- ing shot. Lievtenant Greely started for the Arctic regicn on his memorable voyage with twenty-four men. After living for three years at Lady Frankliu Bay and suf- fering the rest of the time at Sabine Island he was rescued by the Bear with only eight men alive. Of these one died on the trip home. (This meant that the bones of sixteen men were left on the ice-bound island and it would hardly be_ possible to positively identify any one individual unless the bodies were found in & state of preserva- tion. There is one reason against theatter being the case, owing to the well-authen- ticated stories which gained ground after the survivors returned concerning the practice of cannibalism by the starving men. This part of the history has never been well ventilated for various reasons, but there have been stories of how, when suf- fering the most excruciating pains of hun- ger, the men took advantage of the deatn of a comrade who succumbed, and the flesh on his bones went toward eking out their flickering lives. e WOMAN VOTERS INSULTED. Disgraceful Scenes in a Committee Meet- ing at Denver. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 22.—Two men almost killed was the result of the intro- duction of women to practical politics in Denver. For the first time since they were given the franchise the women were formally admitted to the County Central Commit- tee of the Republican party on Friday night, and to-day and to-night most of them regret that they were ever prevailed upon to accept the franchise. The meeting was one of the noisiest in the history of the varty in Denver, and one woman who had just returned from Chicago said she had been ‘shamed by the reports that had been placed in circulation in that city about the saffragists of the West. She said she told her hearers in Chicago that there was not a word of truth iu the stories of the disgraceful conduct of com- mitteemen and that there was nothing in politizs that any woman need be ashamed of. Now, she said, she regretted the state- ment, for she found that the real situation was worse than pictured. During the proceedings there were cries of “Put him out!” and “He is off his trolley I’ when a man made a speech for more moderation in the presence of women. Miss Hingley, daughter of Alderman Hingley, went home from the meetingand complained to her father that Boiler In- spector Kett, chairman of her district, had appointed judges of election withouat con- eulting her. Hingley demanded satisfaction and Kett told him that if any one made such a state- ment, he or she wasa liar. The Alderman struck Kett and the pair rolled over in the City Hail for ten minutes before they were separated. Then the Police Surgeon had to attend them; but the sore is not healed and the father says he will repeat the dose when he is able to meet the Boiler In- spector again, The latter is on the retired eral thousand tons of eighteen-inch iron | list. NP PRINCELY DOT, A Chinese Father’s Bid for an American Son-in-Law. FIVE THOUSAND IN CASH Also a Half-Interest in a Large and Profitable Business. WANTS HISDAUGHTER SETTLED No Restrictions on Applicants Ex= cept That They Be of Good Reputation. 2 SAN JOSE, Car., Sept. Hip Sing Lee, a wealthy Chinese merchant of this city, offers a half interest in his extensive merchandise business and $5000 in cash to any reputable young American who will marry his daughter, Moi Lee. Hip Sing Lee is the wealthiest Chinese in this valley and his fortune is estimated at from $50,000 to $100,000. He conducts a general merchandise store, with a lottery game on the side, in this city, and has branch stores in Watsonville, Santa Cruz and Salinas. Lee has become thoroughly Americanized and as he is getting old it is his wish to see his datghter happily mar- ried to some good American, who will look after and care for his business and wealth. Lee’s wife died about a year ago and as several attempts have been made to kid- nap Moi he is afraid that if Moi does not marry soon the highbinders may succeed in abducting her. Moi Lee, who is 16 years old, isa good- looking Chinese girl. She reads and writes English and plays some of the most popu- lar airs of the day on a guitar. Her Eng- lish and musical education has been ob- tained from an old Frenchman who lives near Chinatown and whom the father has employed as Moi's tutor for the past three vears. She has discarded Chinese cloth- ing and dressed in American style bardly looks as though her life had been spent among Chinese. Her father gratifies all her desires and a few weeky ago bought her a lady’s bicycle. She hasléarned to ride and most any after- noon can be seen riding in the northern part of the city. Moi assists her father with his business, and when not out ridihg on her wheel can be seen in the store go- ing over the books or marking a lottery ticket for some love-sick Chinese youth. She has proved a great drawing-card for her father’s loitery. game, and nearly all the Chinese play there, as even if fortune frowns on them a smile from Moi appears to- moré than pay them for what they lose. Hip 8ing Lee is over 50 years of age and says that as soon as he sees his only child married to an American and ensconsea in a pleasant home he is willing to die. He owns several fine residence lots in the city and says that on his daughter’s wedding day he will give her husband the key to a palatial residence, with all modern con- veniences, and magnificently furnished. He says his prospective son-in-law must come' of good parentage and be of good character and free from all vices to which the young men of to-day are addicted.

He tells where each one is going and keeps people from takin, wrong trains i% they pay attention, One’s physical feelings are bodily “train callers.” ‘They announce the starting of all trains of disease. Most all trains of disease lead to consump- tion, because con- sumption is a blood disorder and be- cause the blood must be poor or impure before any disease can make much headway. The secret of health isto keep the blood pure and full of strength. When a man or woman loses flesh and vitality, there is something wrong in the blood. The start of it is likely to be in the stom- ach or bowels, and if they are put in order the trouble gradually stops. Con- sumption is a germ disease, but if the blood is good, and keeps the lungs strong and healthy, the germs cannot find a place to lodge and are cast off. If there's a weak spot, the germ will find it. Even after that, strong and pure blood will strengthen the lungs so that they can gradually rid themselves of the germs.
