On Wednesday night DIR. Tanner was
taken violently ill with pains in the stom-
ach, and nausea. Later he fell asleep, and
remained quiet until morning. On Thurs
day he was very weak and impatient. On
Friday there was a decided change for
the worse. He suffered considerable pain,
was very weak and troubled with wind on
the stomach, which troubled him much,
and he declared that if hiccoughs set in he
would at once break his fast. He thought
he had caught slight cold. At $3.50 on
Saturday his condition had not changed
materially. On Saturday he was less lively
and suffered from nausea, but recovered
his spirits and at noon entered the saith
day confident and hopeful. On Sunday
he was suffering again from nausea, and
his condition appeared to be rapidly grow
ing worse.

CONTEMPLATING ON BIG SCALE.


In consequence of information received
by the City Council last Friday, Captain
Cooper left for New York on the follow
ing day. He telegraphed to-day that he
had arrested G. w. Branscome, and found
in his possession $s7, 900 in Sanitary bonds
of the city of Jacksonville, which had
been counterfeited. He expected to OBJ
tain other bonds this morning. AS we
gather the facts, they are these: A young
man in New York, while in one of the city
parks, was approached by a stranger, who
asked him if he desired job. On reply
ing in the affirmative, he was carried to
French's hotel, where he copied letter,
for which he received quarter, and left
his address in the event of further need of
his services. A few days after postal
card reached him with the request to call
again at the hotel. He did so, and on en-
tering the room was put to work append
ing the signature of A. J. Baldwin to a
number of bonds. He recollects that the
bonds bore the name of w. S. Boyd, May
or of Jacksonville. Becoming satisfied
that some fraud was intended, the young
man communicated his suspicious to the
officers of Pinkerton's Detective Agency,
who have since had Branscome under
surveillance.
So far as can be learned, none of the bo-
gus bonds have been negotiated.
1t is stated that Branscome purchased
one of these bonds some months since.
He is a one-armed man and has been en-
gagged in the orange business here for the
last two winters. Of late he has been car
rying on brokerage business on Bay
street.
1t is believed that he is only one Of sew
eral accomplices in this nefarious scheme.
The entire affair appears to have been
conducted by Branscome in a most bung-
ling manner.

FIGHTING WITH A WILD CAT
A Hunters Marrow Escape from Death
A Shot lust in Time.
New York Timos.l

New York Times,
Wilhelmus Wcstfall, a farmer, re-
siding in Montague township, Sussex
county, N. j., accompanied by his son
Alexander, went fox hunting few
days ago in the woods along the New
Jersey bank of the Delaware river.
While passing through the woods the
hunters separated. Wilhelmus, ac-
companied bya hound, kept close along
the river. Having gone a short dis
tance. the dog was heard barking
fercely. Wilhelmus thought he had
come upon a fox track, and was in
close pursuit. He went in the direc-
tion of the barking, and soon came
upon the dog, which was engaged in a
fierce encounter with a monster wild
cat. lie took his rifle from his shoul-
der, and, taking deliberate aim, pulled
the trigger. The cap exploded, but
the gun failed to discharge. He
placed another cap on the tube, and
again pulled the trigger, with the
same result; the gun would not go Off
By this time the dog was badly
whipped, and, whining and limp
ing, it made its escape from
its antagonist into the thicEot. The
cat then sneaked slowly through the
bushes toward the river. Wilhelmus
was determined to capture the animal.
and thought he could conquer it by
beating out its brains with the butt of
his gun. He started in pursuit and
soon overlook the animal, which stop
ped when the hunter had approached
within a few feet of it. The plucky
hunter cautiously took one step after
another, when suddenly, and with
eyes glaring like balls of fire, the ami
ma turned and made a spring, land
ing on the shoulder OF the hunter, and
soon succeeded in inficting several
CHASTITY wounds upon his face. His
body was also lacerated in terrible
manner, and his clothes were torn
into shreds. After a fierce struggle.
the old man succeeded in loosening
the cats hold, when his son, who had
heard his fathers cries, arrived. See
ing that his father was in great danger
of being killed by the animal, Alexan-
der took deliberate aim and discharged
his rife. The ball had the desired
effect, for the animal gave an upward
spring and fell to the ground dead.
The ball pierced the animals heart,
and missed the wounded hunter by
only few inches. The animal meas
ured nearly six feet in length and
weighed fifty pounds. 1t was the only
one that had been killed in this region
for several years.

the gulch above the spring and start
to come down. Upon seeing them she
ran back over the hill. In less than
ten minutes they were surrounded by
fitty or sixty savages. The Indians
were very small and seemed to be of
a different nature than they had ever
seen in Arizona. The Mexicans were
not armed except with knives, and
the survivor says they were almost in
stantly caught with lariats. The In
dlans took them up the mountain and
put them in cave. They tortured
and killed his companion, and his fate
would have been the same but for his
escape. He succeeded in getting away
with only a few knife gashes on his
face. They lost their gold with all
their outfit. The Indians seemed to
be cave dwellers. and were evidently
excited over the place being found by
outsiders. For the benefit of non
residents, wewill say that Superstition
Mountain derives its name from the
fact that no white man has been seen
again who attempted its ascension. 1t
is tradition among the Mexicans
that large deposits of free gold are to
be found in its gulches and ravines
1t is not known whether there is any
water there or not.

Sewerage.

Col. Geo. E. Waring, the eminent
engineer, this forenoon addressed about
a hundred leading merchants, citizens
and others atthe cotton exchange, upon
the subject of his proposed plan Of
sewerage for this city. His remarks
were in the main the same as has been
reported from time to time, and re-
commend the vitriGed pipe system
as the cheapest and the most suitable
for our adoption. A detailed account
Of his plans appeared in yester-
days papers, and his remarks
presented no essential difference to
the explanation therein. Mr.. Thomas
Cubbins spoke in opposition to Mr.
Waring and in advocacy of system
of his own, after Colonel Waring
closed. Both gentlemen werulistened
to with attention.

Fitzgibbon, of Chicago, united with

boarding United States revenue cut

and gave welcome to Charles Stewart
Parnell, the Irish land reform agita-
tor, in the name of the Northwestern
States, which represent in great meas
ure the farming and producing inter
ests Of our country. The New York
Committee also presented an address
Of welcome.
Mr.. Parnell, replying to the ad-
dresses, spoke as follows: Il regret
that my power of language is not suf-
dcient to convey to you my apprecia-
tion of the kindness and honor that
you have done me in meeting me this
morning. | feel indebted to you
individually and collectively, as it
has always been a great pleasure to
me to come to the United States of
America, | could have wished that
circumstances attending our native
land were Of more happy and prospe--
GUS character, but we must hope and
believe that time is approaching when
we may be able to speak of Ireland as
other men speak of their own country,
and that we may be able to speak
of her as really and truly
among nations Of the earth as you
have been very well expressed in your
addresses. Our task is of double char
acter; we have to aim against the sys>
tenn which causes discomfort and suf-
fering in our country and we have
to endeavor to break down that
system, and with good help We
are determined to break it down.
| We have also to see that victims Of
system are not suffered to perish. In
the meanwhile, we are to take care
that the unity and strength of oul
people is not broken, and that now
when the opportunity has really come
for settlement Of one of the leading
questions in Ireland, that opportunity
may not be lost
The physical suffering, misery and
starvation Of large portions of oui
population in Ireland has not beer
exaggerated. We have been callins
upon the government to relieve that
distress, but it has only been within
the last few days that it has agreed to
admit that there was any distress
This was brought to their notice by q
letter from the Duchess of Marlbor.

which stated that there would bt
