After Falling Upon His Head He Forgets All Previous Knowledge. Now in the New Life He Again Falls In Love With His Old Sweetheart. IW HAVEN, Coxy.,, May 14—The most remarkable case of amnesia ever known exists in Piantsville, a quiet vil- lage about twenty miles from this city. The Rev. T. H. Hanna. pastor of the P.antsville Baptist Church, is the victim. On April 7 Mr. Hanna stopped tis horse to adjust a strap of the harness. As be attempted to jump from his carriage his feet caugkt in the robe and be was thrown headiong to the ground knocked unconscious. When taken home his mind was gone and when conscious: nes He did not know his parents; he did not even know the meaning of the words task of teaching him to talk, walk and act was begun all over again. The relations of his family were ex- plainel to him, and like a new-born babe he was again taught to read, write and even eat. [Every bit of the Bible that he had learned had slipped from his mem- ory. Mr. Hanna was a vigorous athlete, but he forgot how to play basevall and how to ride the bicycle. He was ax adept typewriter, but he bas forgotten all about the instrument and is now learning the keys azain. Mr. Hanna was an accomplished musi- cian, but how to play an instrument wes a lost art to him and he has taken to prac- ticing anew. Hi cond childhood has a romantic side to it. He has shown for| several years a marked preference for a young woman of the village, but when he met her after his accident he did not know her. He was again introduced to her and the friendship hetween the two has again been developing. This 1s de- clared by a couple of Yale professors, who hava been interesting themselves in the case, to be indicative of the fact that tkere was a natural foundation for the love which readily asserted itself after the mental lapse. Theosophists say: “This mateh, if such it should prove to be, was made in beaven.” Mr. Hanna was a lover of the languages, especially Latin and Greek, but his entire vocabulary seems to have slipped from his mind.. His technical education has gone. All his friends are beingintroduced to him again. He learns of their former association with him with interest.

Stray Sheep Keturning to the Fold of the Passenger Association. CHICAGO, IrL, May 14.—Satisfactory progress is being made by the executive committee of the Western Passenger Asscciation in inducing outside roads to become members. J. C. Stubbs, vice- president of the Southern Pacitic, was in conference with the committee this after- noon regarding the membership of his It is expected that Stubbs will sign for his road. Itis also believed that the Northern Pacific and Great Northern will be induced to join without much delsy. They have stated their readiness to do so the minute that the Canadian Pacific does, but are not prepared tosay that they will join without it. Definite revlies are expected from ths Minneapolis and St. Louis, Wisconsin Central and Chi- cago and Great Western by next Tuesday. Lomax, reneral passenger agent of the | Union Pacific, is expected here on Mon- day, and it is thought that he will theu sien. All that has kept ths Union Pa- cific out thus far has been lack of advice from Judge Dillon, general counsel of the road, as to the strict lezality of the agree- ment. Judge Dillon has advised the Pacific, tor which he is also oniet legal adviser, that it may sign. It has alresdy done so, and no doubt is entertained that he will give the Union Pacific similar adv.ce. = CASHIER GUES 10O PRISON. Wrecker of the Newport (Ky.) Bank Un- able to Furnish Bonds.

Y., May 14.—Frederick With NEW YORK, |de Latour Booth-Tucker did not appear when his name was calied in the General | Session to-day in answer to an indiciment for keeping a disorderly house in the Sal- vation Army barracks. His counsel en- tered a plea of not guilty. Booth-Tucker intends 10 make a stub- born fight in the matter. his all-night prayer meetings are not nearly so noisy as his enemies have pre- tended. He believes that the prosecution is a mischievous one, and sume of the Sal- vation Army people do not hesitate to say that the Voiunteers, instigated by Balling- ton Booth, are behind the matter. The Salvation Army leaders say they are sorry the trouble is in the courts, as they thought that their longz fizht under severe persecutions had entiiled them to immunity from arrest. They realize that the example of the New York authorities will be followed all over the country. For that reason able lawyers have been retained, and strong effort will be made to show that the ali-night prayer-meetings come under the protection of the consti- tution of the United States, which aliows men to worship in their wn fashion. ——— PAID 1HE DEATH PENALTY, Needless taxcitement Uver the Ezeoution of an Llinois Murderer. PA XTON, Ir., May 14.—There was considerabie excitement in this town to- day over an execution which attracted a great deal of attention. For some time past F. William Hoellman has been under senience of death for the murder of Mrs. ‘Weibke Geddes. A good deal of pressure was brought to bear on the Governor to pardon him. All efforts to save him, bowever, were in vain, as executiye offi- cers refused to interfere, All the preparations were made last night for the execution, which took place early this morning. The rope was tested and found to be in good condition. At6 A x Hoellman was awakened and given a hearty breakfast. The death warrant was read to him after he had eaten. He was then taken to the scaffold. It was believed by the officials that he would break down at the last moment, and they were ready to strap him toa board in case he should collapse. Hoell- man, Lbowever, was firm and faced the death preparations bravely. When asked what he had to say he replied that be was innocent. Thedropfell at 7:15 and Hoell- man died very quickly.

PARIS, Fraxce, May 14.—Tom Mann, the English labor leader, who has been in Paris since Monday agitating t.e organi- zation of trades unions, was to address a large meeting to-night. This morning Mann was notified by the police that he would not be allowed to speak and must quit the country within twenty-four hours. He promptly showed the white feather and left without more ado. Mann has been boastng greatly for some time past that he would stir up the Parisians so that there would bs pienty of tronble before Jong. He evea went so far as to intimate that the days of 1789 might be repeated. The police have been watching him for some days past. They did not want him to cause any trouble, nor did they wish to arrest him until they were absolutely forced to do so. Because of their inaction Mann thought that they would let the matter drop and would al- low him to speak. He found out to-day, however, that he was mistaken. —_— VALOR TARDILY RECOGNIZED.

LEXINGION, Ky., May 14—A disas- | trous fire occurrea in this city this morn- ing, causing a loss of fully $200,000. It started 1n the courthouse in some un- known way, and was under considerable headway before it was discovered. It was entirely beyond control by the time the fire department arrived on the scene. By 10:30 the courthouse was a mass of ruins, and the fire had spread to the Sayre Institute and other neighboring buildings. The Savre Institute is a girls’ school, well known through the South and West. When it caught fire there was almost a panic among its pupils, who rushed ex- citedly into the street. All of them suc- ceeded in getting out sately, but most of them lost considerable personal property in the fire. At 1 o’clock the fire was under control. Partof the institute was saved. One of the most serious losses by tie fire was the magnificent statue oi “‘The Triumph of Chastity,” by Joel Hart, which stood in the institute. It fell from its niche and was broken into fragments.

SEATTLE, Wasn., May 14 —The schoon- er Stella Erland arrived from Cooks Inlet this morning. She made the run from Saldovia Bay to Beattle in thirteen days. From the inlet she brings the news for the winter, having been the only boat this soring to pass through the ice blockade, reaching Sunrise City and returning to Seattle. At Six-mile everybody is well The whites have had plenty toeat. The Erland brought no tidings of the three men who were reported missing just after the arrival of the Albion—George Bottcher, C. A. Blackstone and J. W. Mo- lingue. They undertook to cross the Por- age to Prince Willlams Sound, and they p?blbly never reached tidewater on tais side. On the way up the Erland passed through a storm on March 23. it was, no doubt, the hurricane which wrecked the General Biglin. The Erland was further north, and probably encountered only the weaker end of the storm; but she had enough of it to make things look dubious for a whiie. However, the Erland is a lucky boat. She has encountered all sorts of storms ana has several times been sup- n‘d to be lost, but she always returnsin y. The schooner Alexandria is reported safe Baldovia by the Erland. The Alexandris belonged to the same line o8 the Siglin, but l:oy parted company in the storm, The Eriand saw 0 wreckage of any kind on the way.

Damage Done by the Floods in Loulsiana’ Nct as Great as at First Reported. NEW ORLEANS, La., May 14.—Simon Leblanc, Levee Commissioner of Iber- ville Parisn, in a notice published in the papers, warns the steamers Ouachita, Leathers, Speed and others that he has instructed day and night levee guards to open fire on any steamboats coming too near the levee or traveling too fast. Boats are advised to provide exira pilots 50 a8 to have them ready to take the places of regular pilois in case the latter are shot by levee gnards. The pilots reply that in case one of their number is shotit will assure a crevasse, as the boat will become unmanagsable, dash against the bank and destroy the levee beyond all question. The Tensas and Black rivers and the backwater of the Tensas basin swamp have allcome to a standsiill, indicating that Biggs crevasse has reached a maxi- mum and done all the harm it can. From this time on there will be a decliné not only of the river itself, but in the over- flowed section. Itis now possible to estimate the dam- age in Louisiana caused by the overflow and it is much less than was first esti- mated. The actual area of cultivated lands overflowed was: Madison, 80 per cent; Tensas, 18 per cent; Concordia, 20 per cent; Catahoula, 15 per cent. Al- thouzh Biggs crevasse is the largest ever known in Louisiana, the pecuniary dam- age is far behind many previous years. The actual amount of cotton destroyed by the overflow will not exceed 28,000 bales, and it is probable some of the land over- flowed can yet be replanted in cotton. Thegreatestloss was inilicted in the Tensas district. Nearly the entire working popula- tion of the Tensas district has been taken from farm labor to work on the levees, The consequence is a reduction in the acreage pianted in all crops. Crops meanwhile are later than usual because of the over- flow, not in so good a condition as usual and very much neglected. Captain Derby, United States engineer, in command of the district from Vicks- burg to the gulf, says: “In our district the levee boards have raised about 225 miles of levees in this fight. This has been an expensive fight, costing $300,000.” The New Orleans Levee Board has de- cided to borrow another $100,000 in antici- pation of the revenue of 1893. Waen the flood began the board had $50,000. This has been spent. Four weeks ago it bor- rowed $100,000 on this year’s revenue. Nearly all this will be exhausted to-mor- row and the board wants to borrow $100,- 000 more, thus putting it in debt for two years o come. FLORIDA4’S NEW SENATOR. Ex-Congressman Maliory Is Elected to Bucored Call. TALLAHASSEE, Fua, May 14.—The long struggle for the United States Sen- atorship was ended to-day by the elec- tion of ex-Congressman Stephen Russell Maliory of Pensacola on the twenty-fifth vallot. Mallory received 53 votes and Chipley 45. Mallory is a pronounced silver man. e was born in Pensacola November 2, 1848, and wben only 16 years of age en- tered the Confecerate army. A few months later, early in 1865, he was made a midshipman in the Confederate navy. At the end of the war he entered the Georgetown Coilege, District of Columbia, was graduated in 1869, taught in the col- lege until 1871 and a year later was ad- mitted to the bar in Louisiana. In 1874 he removed to Pensacola, where he has ever since practiced law. He served three terms in the F.orida Legisiature and rep- resented his State in the F.fiy-second Congress, He is a son of Stephen Russell Mallory, Secretary of the Navy of the Confederate States. WASHINGTON, D. C., May 14—The election of Stephen Mallory as Senator irom Fiorida to succeed Call surprised the Senators. Mallory served in the House during the Fiity-third Congress, and his failure to secure renomination was under- od to be due to his oppositior to the free coinage of silver. If he hes not changed his views he will make the fourth gold Democrat in the Senate—Gray, Lind- say and Uaffery being the other three. Mallory’s election leaves but one vacAncy in the Senate—Oregon. Corbett ciaims the s2at by virtue of his arpointment by the Governor, the Legisiature having failed to organize. Tins afternoon Burrows, Chandler and Hoar of the Committee on Elections and Priviiezes had a conlerence of an hour re- garding this case. 1t wae decided that Burrows, acting chairman of the commit- tee, should call & meeting of the commit- tee to consider the Corbett case. It is not expected that the result will be different from that reached in other casesof like character, which was that the Governor's appointee canuot be seated. An informal canvass of the Senate has developed the fact that the vote against seating Corbett is likely to be larger than in the Montana, Washingion and Wyoming cases.

It is said that Rainey bas made quite a favor- able impression on some religions people who were visiting him. They Jiked him so much that they promised to makea minister of him if he should be pardoned. There is small hope, however, taat Rainey will be pardoned. Despite his recent protestations of re- ligion, the prison officials look on him as a thorougnly hardened and depraved criminal, and they have been watching him very closely to see that he aid not escape. They assert that Rainey is a two- faced fellow, who assumes religion with the people he wishes to deceive, while he is entirely different with secular people. —Eog g g Pacific Coast Pensions.
