Guiteau No. 9.

WASHINGTON, April 20. 1t appears
that the incarceration of Colonel Mau-
rice Pinchover ia the insane asylum was
done to prevent possible tragedy that
would have been almost as sensational
as the Guiteau crime. Pinchover has
been a harmless crank in Washington
for fifteen years. His particular hobby
was that he had been cheated out of d
seat in Congress, and that certain pub
lie men had robbed HIM of millions. Mr..
Randall was one of these, and for him
he had conceived the most violent dis
like. Tuesday last he appeared in the
east corridor of the House end of the
Capitol just as MIR. Randall was enter
ing. He Immediately assailed MIR.
Randall in bitter terms, becoming SO
frantic that he had to be led out.
Friends warned Mr., Randall that.
though Pinchover was looked ON as a
harmless lunatic. he might some day do
him serious bodily harm. and on their
advice he consulted Police Surgeon
Bayne. In accordance with prear-
ranged plan Pinchover was coaxed to
police headquarters, where a medical
examination was held and commit
ment made out. Pinchoyer is now in a
ward with Napoleon Bonaparte, Gen
eral Grant, Horace Greedy, Malone.
Jesus Christ, and perpetual motion
monomaniac, all of whom pay homage
to Pinchover as the unparalleled mil
lionaire of ancient and modern times.

Eaten by Dogs.

COCHRAN, Georgia. April 80. Henry
Barlow, an eight-year-old boy, of puny
build, deaf and of weak mind, the son
of respectable farmer of this place, left
the house this morning, and as he did
not return for dinner search was made
for him. James Mullis found the child
lying in one of his fields, his new suit of
cloths torn into shreds and scattered
about the field, while the child's body
was torn and bleeding from the head
down. In distant corner of the field
stood four ferocious sheep dogs licking
their CORY chops. They had attacked
the little fellow as he was going through
the field and from the signs aronnd, had
dragged him fully fifty yards The
dogs had chewed through the stomach,
and into the entrails; nearly ali the
flesh was knawed from the arms and
legs, and it is supposed was eaten by
the dogs. The child was still breathing.
when found, and as Mr.. Mullis touched
him he opened his eyes and plaintively
said, .'Mr. Mullis, your dogs bit me-
Mr. Mullis quickly raised the child and,
taking him to the house. laid him on
the porch, when he again spoke and
asked for his father, who was then hur-
rying toward him. Mr. Barlow arrived
just in time to see his child gasp the
last time and sink into the Sleep of
death.

struction and death in its path At

Railroad Troubles.

New YORK, April 24-The Times
says: apparently a crisis in the affairs
of the Wabash has arrived, as p&rties
closely identified with the property are
now admitting that some of the larger
bondholders have signified their wiling
ness to fund their coupons, extending
over several interest periods. with a
view of staving off the appointment of
a receiver and the consequent bankrupt
cy OF the concern. A we'll known
broker, whose identity is scarcely con-
cealed, and whose position toward the
managers of the road entities him to
a full knowledge of the present condi-
ton of its affairs, is authority for the
statement. The uesmeaniDg of this
is that on June / there will be default
in the interest then maturing, the an
nouncement probably to be accom-
panied with the presentation of some
roseate and plausible scheme of reor-
ganization, Intended to blind those in
terested to the real condition of things
The story was the general topic of con-
versation among the brokers at the
Windsor tonight, and no doubt seemed
to be entertained as TO its correctness.

farmer living three miles from this
place, takes fail and goes to cliff on
his farm and kills black snakes He
has never missed springs snake kill
ing in that spot for twenty years. He
went out earlier than usual this season,
being pressed with other spring farm
work, and only got eight. Last spring
he paid his annual visit to the cliff on
May /, and bagged twenty-seven, and
that was not very satisfactory days
shaking, either. Of the eight brought
in this year he killed seven. The eighth
he captured alive for friend in this
village, who wants it for pet. This
one is feet 6 inches long. Mr. De
Witt says that his farm raises no black
snakes less than six feet in length This

and will consider it failure if he does
not run out total length of nine rods.
His snake patch yields nothing but black
snakes.

constitution of the empire. He pro-
poses to amend the election law, ma
king a new classification Of electors,
and to create q permanent military
budget. Besides this he will impose

these changes the German Princes will
be convoked in accordance with the
terms of the present constitution, to
frame new constitution embodying
Prince Bismarck's ideas The commit
tee of the Reichstag, to which the bill
prolonging the anti-socialist law was re-
ferred, has concluded its general dis
cussion of the measure. Herren Bam-

rejection. Herr Won Puttkamer, Minis

BosToN, April 20. = An intimate
friend of Senator Edmunds, who had a
long talk with him concerning the po-
litical outlook. says the Senator is very
much averse to allowing his name to be
used in connection with the Presidency.
While it was very gratifying, he said,
to be mentioned and supported by bis
friends in all parts of the country he
infinitely preferred his present position
in the United States Senate. President
Arthur, he said has made most excel.

party manifested the wisdom which us

New ORLEANS, April 20 Six weeks

The Man Who Beat Blaine.

ALBANY, New York, April 29.-The
Blaine men have found the man who
captured the fifteen Blaine delegates in
the Kings County delegation at the Utica
convention and marched them over to
the other camp. 1t was on these fifteen
delegates that the Blaine men relied for
a working majority over both the Ar
thur and Edmunds vote combined.
Had they remained firm PHI would
have been elected chairman and four
delegates-at-large would have been sent
to Chicago. Ever since they lost that
vote the Blaine men have been investi-
eating how the fifteen men were cap
tured, and they have at last discovered
that ex-Judge B. +. Tracy was the cul-
prit. He got the delegation from Kings
together and appealed TO them. When
he succeeded in convincing them he
took just enough away from the Blaine
side to give the Etimunds men the bal
ance OF power in the convention.

A Remarkable nriza EIGHT.

PIrTsBURG, April 29.-One of the
most remarkable prize fights that ever
occurred in this city or vicinity took
place at Arsenal Park between Bilson
Jack and Jack Clifford. for 800 a side.
Previous to the battle ball had been
in progress, in which over thirty young
girls and several mothers with infants
in arms were participants. When time
was called, 1920, the women as well as
the men crowded around the ring, and
during the fight the former were the
most enthusiastic shouters for their re-
spective favorites. The fight was with
soft gloves to the finish, London prize
ring rules. From the start Clifford who
displayed the most science, had the
best of it, and soon had the battle well
in hand. Bison Jack fought savagely,
however, and refused to give up until
the l2lst round, when friends interfered,
and the mill was awarded to Clifford.
Both men were terribly punished. Bill
son Jack had to be carried from the
ring. A number of policemen watched
the fight to the close without interior
ing. The battle lasted an hour and
forty-five minutes.

and buried under twenty-five feet Of
snow the cabin in which Joseph and
Sam Steele, George Morris, S. F. 'rhorne
and j. L. Tate were living. The site
of the cabin is six miles above this place,
up Conundrum GGlch. The bodies of
the five unfortunate miners were taken
out the following Friday. after much
hard work, as the snow was packed so
solid that it had to be cut out with an
ak. One of the men was found with his
pipe in his mouth and his poeket-knife
clasped in his hand. and the others in
positions showing conclnsivelv that they
were all instantly killed. Tborne had

always made his quarters under the
bunk where the man slept, and of course
everybody supposed the dog was killed.

The slide struck the cabin on the side
where the bunk was, but left three
rounds of logs standing. which pro-

crushed by the mass OF snow. leaving a
space of thirty-six feet feet for the dog.

anxions to bring it UP for consideration
at an early day, but can only do so BY
unanimous consent. At this stage OF
the session such consent is almost out
of the question, and Mr.. Collins will,
therefore. endeavor on the first Mon
day in May to suspend the rules and fix
a day for the consideration Of the bill.
There is'a considerable doubt expressed
