ting the other mans second to assent TO
at each other without effect, and the af-
fair was amicably adjusted. Very
clever this. One might, however, say
with Sir Walter Scott in his Lay OF
the Last Mir strel.'
But scarce praise their vent'rous part
Who tamp r with such dangerous art"
Mr.. Frost mentions two instances la
which the gun trick proved fatal. One
was that of cOnjurer in Dublin, who
was shot dead by the accidental substi.
tuition of a real loaded pistol for one In
which the charge was withdrawn. Ths
other took place In Germany. at the
performance of cOniurer named De-
Linsky. He set up his wife to be fred
at by six soldiers. each of whom was TO
bite the tail off his cartridge in charg.
ing his gun. Heedessly, one Of the
soldiers did not bite the tail of the ball,
and Madame DeLinsky was shot
through the body. She died on the Sec
ond day after the accident. The catas-
trophe clouded the latter years of the
conjurer. In the course of his travels
Houdin visited Algiers and there aston
ishal the native Arabs, with his perfor-
nance of the gun tick, which he did In
way somewhat peculiar. At one OF
his entertainments an old Arab admit
ted that Monsieur was, doubtless
great magnician, but he should prefer
to use one of his own pistols. Houdn
said this might be done next day, after
he had invoked the powers to assist
him. IL was a severe trial of skill, for
there was some danger In dealing with
a wary and suspicious barbarian. Next
day the exploit came of. HOudiu only
stipulated that he should be allowed to
load the pistol, the Arab handing him
leaden bullet from a saucerful from
which to make his choice. This was
agree to. Houdin, as every one thought,
dropped the leaden bullet into the pis.
tol, but instead of doing so, he dropped
previous prepared sham bullet, which
dissolved into dust on being fired.
Now" said the conjurer 10 the Arab,
take the pistol, and fire at me, will
catch the bullet in my MOUTH The
pistol was fired, and to the profound
amazement of the crowd of Arabs,
HoudiD took leaden bullet out of his
mouth, which all admitted to be the
bullet that had been selected from the
sancerful. To still further astonish the
company Houdn declared that by load
ing with another leaden ball he would
bring blood out Of stone wall. All
were eager to see this wonderful feat.
1t was performed in way differing lit
tie from what had already taken place.
Instead of dropping real ball into the
pistol Houdin used sham bullet filled
with red liquid, which dissolved on
striking the wall. Wonder tremendous.
We believe that Anderson 10 his gun
tricks was similarly In the habit of SUBJ
stitutng light composition balls for real
bullets, and was equally successful. 1t
was all matter OF sleight-Of-hand.-

A Man Killed by q Mouse.

An extraordinary occurrence was
brought to light at an inquest held on
the body Of man in South London.
In workroOm where many young girls
were at work a small mouse suddenly
made its appearance on a table, causing,
of course, considerable cOmmotion and
general stampede. The intruder was
seized, however, by young man who
happened to be present, but the mouse
slipped out of his hand, and, running
up his sleeve, came out between his
waistcoat and shirt at his neck. The
unfortunate man had his mouth open,
and the mOnse, on the lookout for some
convenient place of concealment, en-
tered the mans mouth, and he, In his
flight an surprise, swallowed 1t. That
a mouse can exist for a considerable
time without much air has long been
popular belief, and vas unfortunately
proved to be a fact In the present in
stances, fer the mouse began to bite and
tear inside the mans throat and chest,
and the result was that the unfortunate
fellow died after little time in horrible
agony. Several witnesses corroborated
the above facts, and medical testimony
as to the cause Of death having been
given. verdict of accidental death"
was returned.

The Famous Gun Trick.

Philip Ashley, noted for his eques-
trian amphitheatre, is said to have be-
gun life as a soldier, in which capacity,
when on foreign service with his regi-
ment, he demonstrated his ability as a
conjuror, by inventiug the now famous
gum trick. This consists in pretending
to fire a pistol loaded with ball, and
catching the bail on the point of a knife.
The explanation OF the trick is, that in
the first place the pistol is secretly load
ed only with blank cartridge. ln this
harmless condition the conjurer slips
into it tin tube which nicely fits 1t
with ball Before firing, the tin tube is
dexterously removed aud when the wea-
pom is fired, no harm ensues by an In.
Simultaneous maneuvre the bullet Is tri-
umphantiy exhibited as being caught in
the required situation. II Is related
that Ashley invented the trick to save
the effusion of blood at the duel OF two
comrades In the army, for one OF whom
he acted as second. Succeeding In get

question whetherth the defendant actually

Rehm in Court-.Killed.

By American Press Association to the STAR.
CHICAGO, July Jacob Rehm, arch
conspirator Of the Whisky Ring. and
facilei princeps among the whisky men,
was called up for sentence in the U. s.
Court yesterday. 1t had been previous
ly understood that he had been offered
very comfortable degree of
immunity for his testimony,
and that unders anding was
confirmed by the Government Attorney
who stated that the authorities at Wash-
iDgton had authorized him to procure
Rehm's testimony at any cost. He had
agreed that Rehm could not go to the
Penitentiary, and had also agreed to
recommend the liGhtest penalty in the
discretion Of the Court.
The counsel for the defense urged
that, as the defendant had turned Stale's
evidence, he must by the operation OF
the law itself be set free. The Court re-
served its decision, but will, it is sup
posed, impose nominal sentence.
Henry Kcolling, German, aged
eighteen years, was almost instantly
killed by being struck in the chest by a
plank thrown from feeder in Good
Eille's planning mill.
