CHICAGO, May 1,APeter f. Bretz, an
intelligent German who runs a coal-yard at
No 593 North Wells street, comes to the police
with terrible story of an attempt on the part
of Dr.. Henry Meyer to hire him to poison the
DOCTORS wife Bretz says that Meyer wished
him to accompany the lady to Denver, and while
there to give her certain medicines which
the doctor furnished him. Brett was given
$50, which he turned over to Superintendent
Doyle, after he had informed Mrs. Meyer of
her husbands plot against her Mrs. Meyer
Is convinced of the truth of the story told by
Bretz, for the reason that she had been in
lad health for some time and her hus-
band prevented her from obtaining the ser
vices of any other physician Meyer
was indicted for poisoning the husband
of his present wife, but the case dis
missed for want of evidence Though there is
every reason to place confidence in Brett, Mrs.
Meyer steadily refuses TO prosecute her hus-
band. The case is in the hands of the dstec
tyes, and il may be that DR. Meyer may yet ap
pear in the criminal court Yesterday DIR.

CINoINNAFI May 1.-The Enquirer's
correspondent at Washington teleg1aphs as
follows:
Said well posted politician last night:
9The Democrats are In danger Of losing the
next president by reason of over confidence
They will go into a convention with the idea
that, no ma ter who is nominated, he can be
elected Now, the Democratic party has been
in a majority in this country since 1871, but
the leaders have never been able to manage
the party with sagacity to gain the conf
denee OF the business classes. They could
nominate David Davis and elect him. lie has
the labor organizations behind him, ls not
mixed up in any OF the iealouses of the poll
tieians, and has unassailabe record. The
leaders, however, believe ia assured victory,
and they viii be content only with 81 Bourbon.
predict, therefore, that If the Republican
leaders, who sagacious bold, and full OF
resources, find that they must abandon all of
the old party managers IN order to win, they
Will settle ON DavidDavis, and if they do L
think he can be elected.
Would Davis accept the nomination."
"Yea, gladly, and just as readily as he ac-
ceptod tie nomination of president of the SEN
by the Democrats almost nonsense to make
the suggestion, but thOse-who are inclined TO
laugh at it must bear in mind that when the
Republicans chose David Davis as president OF
the senate they threw overheard Anthony, of
Rhode Island, who entitled to the compli-
ment of the nomination, and chose Davis be
cause they could elect him. Do you think
they would do less TO elect a president? Not

A Determined suicide.


The following graphic account OF one
Of the most desperate self-murders on
record is given by the Ventura Free
Press It will be remembered that a
dispatch was sent to the EXPRESS re.
garding the blowing into eternity of
William A. Gordon, Of Ventura county,
by means Of cartridge Of giant powder
exploded by himself with suicidal intent;
Sunday morning over dozen men
went out, and, after crossing the sum
nit and descending into deep gulch
came upon the mangled remains OF what
was SO lately the genial, kind-hearted
and much respected William A. Gordon.
Deceased had often asserted that "wben
he killed himself he would bury him
self, so that nobody would ever find
him." He nearly accomplished his
purpose. Crawling in under thick brush,
where the sides OF the gulch ap-
preached closely together. he appar-
emily laid down, placed the fatal cart
ridge under him, fired II off with a
piece of wax candle (which was found)
and blew himself into eternity. The
entire cavity OF the body was emptied
and scattered around, leaving only the
head and legs intact, and these 30 deep
ly buried by the loosenod earth from the
adjacent PERCEPTIONS banks OF the gulch,
that nothing was visible except the heel
OF boot and the back OF his head. Both
arms were gone, up to the shoulders.
The pistol was found some ways oil,
with hammer, handle and trigger blown
off, and two cartridges discharged,
probably by the explosion OF the dyna-
mits. The remains, consisting of the
head and legs-the latter only below
the knees were tenderly gathered up
and carried to Santa Paula, whore Coro-
ner Grant held an inquest.

A Volcano.
lsan Bernardino Times.

Mr.. A. Marty, who is just in from the
vicinity Of San Antonio, brings a report
Of an active volcano about fifteen miles
west Of Lytle Creek. He first observed
it about the time of the earthquakes, a
week ago, and since then he has seen
puffs of smoke arise to great hight, nc
couipanied with detonations like the re-
port OF cannon. A large quantity of
rocks rolled down the mountain side in
10 the canon, but whether they were
thrown up by the volcano it is impossi-
BILE to tell. After the earthquake the
water in the creek decreased two.thirds,
while the water in some hot springs in
the noighborhood increased in like pro-
portion and temperature. Before the
eruption the water was comfortably
warm for bathing purposes, but now is
30 hot that it could not be borne.
Mr., Marty who has lived extensively
In volcanic countries is certain that this
is an nctive volcano, and he believes
that with good glass il might be seen
from the cupola Of the Court House.
