A Calument County Farmer Commits Sui
cide-How it was Discovered.
The village of New Holstein, in Cal
umet County, Wis, furnishes a sensa-
ton in the shape of a suicide OF Alarm
er and attempted concealment of the
cause of his death by the bereaved
family. 1t appears that some weeks
ago the friends OF John Leimitz We're
shocked at an announcement OF his
sudden death from heart disease. The
affair had a mysterious air, and after
the funeral suspicious Of foul play be-
gan to dawn on the minds Of the neigh
bors OF the deceased. The talk led to the
exhumation of the body by the coro-
ner, which resulted in the estartling dis
covery that Leimitz had met his death
by hanging. The wife and q l5-year-
old son of the deceased were then ex-
amined, but they denied that he had
committed suicide. After some two
hours of parleying, however, the wife
confessed that she had found her hus-
band hanging by the neck in the barn,
and that, aided by her two sons, she
conveyed the dead body to the house,
and had, herself, prepared it for bur
ial, tying a cloth about the neck, SO
as to cover the marks made by the
rope. She further stated that she had
practiced this deception for the pur.
pose of avoiding public disgrace. The
cause of the suicide is supposed tc
have been despondency. Leimitz's
stock was starving, and he had moth
ing to feed them with. Deceased was
55 years OF age, and had been a resi-
dent of New Holstein for nineteer

An Extremely Lucid Explanation by the
Lattsr of the Formers Explanation.
Sir Peter Lumsden's dispatch in re-
ply to the government inquiry as to
the correctness of Gen. komaroff's re-
port of the encounter between the Rus
slams and the Afghans on the Kushk
River, which was submitted to Parlia-
ment on the 2lst, is dated Tirpul,
April II, and is addressed to Earl
Granville. The dispatch reads: "Gen.
Komarof's account OF the attack on
Penjdeh is considered incorrect. Gen.
Komaroff says: On the 25th Of
March one detachment approached
Tash-Kepri, On our bank OF the Kushk
River Reply: Tash-Kepri is Kurti
or Pul-I-khisti. Gen. Komaroff' 8
claim to either bank OF the Kushk is
untenable. The left bank has al
ways been held by the 4Aighans, and
was never subject to Russian occupa-
ton. On the Goth of February the
Russians located an outpost of twen-
ty-fve Turcomans at Kizil-Tepe, one
mile north Of Pul-I-Khisti, and about
a mile from the nearest point on the
Kushk River and the Kushk's juno
tion with the Murghab River. This
had always remained the extreme limit
Of the Russian advance within their
line of vedettes. The Russian cavalry
detachment alluded to, did advance
against Pul-I-Khisti March 25, but

Much Damage to Property and Many
Lives Lost In Texas and Kansss.
Later developments show the floods
in Southern Kansas to have been much
worse than at first reported. Aspecial
from Medicine Lodge says that the
water rolled down over the lowlands,
east OF Medicine Lodge City, FIVE to
twelve feet perpendicular, carrying
death in its wake. Whole families are
known to be drowned. In the Elm
Creek bottoms east of town a dozen
houses were entirely destroyed, and
many of the occupants drowned or
saved only by clinging to branches OF
trees. In camps on the bottoms were
ten to fifteen emigrant families, and
not half of these persons have yet been
found. North of there entire families
were drowned; others made miraculous
escapes. The number Of lives lost at
Kingman is now placed at ten. A hur-
ricane struck the vicinity OF Dallas,
Tex, on the 22d, doing a great deal OF
damage. Four houses were leveled,
and the spire of a church was blown
down. The same wind visited Prairie
Grove, Tex, carrying away everything
in it's path. \ school-house was torn
to pieces, one child was killed and sew
eral injured. One man was fatally
hurt at Denison.

FORT PITT FALLEN.
Confirm alton Of the Report that the Place
Had Been Captured.

Confirmation of the Report that the Place
Had Been Captured.
A Winnipeg dispatch of the 1st
says: The belief, which has prevailed
here for the past two weeks that Fort
Pitt had fallen, was confirmed to-day
by the following telegram from Battle
ford: "The two couriers who were
sent from here two days ago to learn
the fate of Fort Pitt, returned last
night They report that after a haz-
ardous ride through a country filled
with hostile Indians they reached the
fort and found it in ruins. A friendly
Indian whom they met informed them
that the Indians had raided the fort
and killed two policemen. heremain-
der of the garrison with the settlers,
who had taken refuge in the fort, es-
capped down the river-the men on q
raft and the women on a boat OF the
kind which is kept at every fort.
This report was confirmed by the In
dian chief Little Poplar, who said that
he had stopped a general massacre,
and said that all the whites had es-
caped by the river. 1t is coniectured
that the garrison was attacked, as it
| was preparing to leave the fort in the
boat. It's fate is a mystery, though it
| is not unlikely that the Indians fol
! lowed the members Of the hegarrlson and
killed them ALL This belief is intensi.
| fed by the fact that the refugees left
Fort Pitt week ago and have not yet
! reached BattlefOrd.

FOUR PERSONS CREMATED.
Burned to Death In Their Beds by . Fire
Due to C1releASneaS.


Due to C1relessness.
The two-story frame summer house
on the truck farm of Augustus L.
Vented, two miles below Reading, Pa,
was burned on the morning OF the
10th. In the second story slept two
OF Mr.. Wentzel's sons, Charles aged 12,
and Harry aged IL, and two of Mr..
Wentzel's gardeners, Frederick Hettin-
ger, aged 26, and Charles Hettinger,
aged 16. All four were burned to
death. At IL O'Clock, when all the
farm people We're asleep, Daniel Noll,
aged AZ, son OF the owner OF the ad-
joining farm, who when he comes
home late is obliged to seek shelter
elsewhere, went to the Wentzel farm
and crowded into the wash kitchen on
the first floor of the summer house.
NoH made a bed OF old clothes, and
slept until three o'clock, when he
awoke cold, and found the fire low.
He then went out, brought in wood,
filled the stove and piled wood near by
it. At 3:45 he went to visit man a
mile and half away, leaving the stove
door closed and the fire roaring. This
soon set the wood ablaze, and in a
short time the house was on fire. The
elder Hettinger awoke and ran down
stairs to give the alarm, but forgot tc
arouse his companions. Mr.. Wentze
responded, and in trying to get in 8
window with a ladder was badly
burned. Hettinger rushed in to save
his brother and the boys, but he was
soon enveloped in flames and wa:
burned to death, along with his broth
er and the Wentzel boys. Ten min
utes later Noll arrived, and related th'
part he had taken in the tragedy. Th'
coroner ordered him under arrest
The jury found him responsible for tn
fire, and he was held to await the &C
ton OF the court.

A City of Mexico dispatch of the

burned by the rebels nnder the leader
ship OF Preston, they captured several
squads of rebels. During the past ten
days the number of these prisoners
has been considerably augmented by
thereceipt of struggling rebels captured
in surrounding districts. 1t is not
known now just how many rebels were
thus held prisoners at Colon, but good
authorities place the number at about
400. Authentic information reached
this city, last night, that on Wednes-
day the officers OF the Colombian gov
ernment selected 100 OF the worst reb-
els imprisoned at Colon, and placing
them on board a steamer, carried
them out into the bay, where the en-

LONDON SHAKEN.

Big Dynamite Scare In tho Admiralty
Building.
London was thrown INTO a fearful
on the esd, and the whole
civilized world was made aware OF the
fact by cable, by the announcement
that an attempt had been made to
blow up the Admiralty building.
Later dispatches disclosed the mole
hill by explaining that there had been a
mysterious bang in or near the build
ing occupied in part by the Admiralty
office, and that one man was slightly
injured. The London police, as usual,
are on the track of the assass'ns, but
there is some reason for believing hat
the explosion was accidental, and was
caused by the spontaneous ignition of
a specimen OF torpedo explosive which
had been sent to the Admiralty tor
inspection.

Durability Of Leather.

A correspondent to the British
Journal OF Photography, speaks OF
leather from a Photographic stand
point of view in the following manner
Generally speaking, leather is a per-
ishable substance, especially when it is
a question Of preservation for thou
sands of years. Supposing it to be
carefully kept in normal atmosphere,
it may be expected to last little over
700 or 800 years. Leather is injured
by damp, by excessive dryness, by
sulphurous vapors from burning coal
gas and by salts sometimes present in
the soil Peat sometimes preserves
and sometimes destroys animal re-
mains, according to the salts it holds in
suspension Leather sandals have
sometimes been preserved for ages deep
in peat bogs. The grave-disger in Ham
let'' states that corpses will lie eight
or nine years in the grave before they
rot, and that OF tanner lasts nine
years, because his hide is so tanned
with his trade.
Perhaps the oldest specimens of
leather in the world have been found
in Egypt in tombs or mummy cases,
in which they were inclosed once for
all, beyond the reach of disturbance.
The oldest piece OF Egyptian leather
in the British museum is the Bremner
(Rhoid) scroll containing a portion of
the ritual of the dead. It's date is
about 1900 B. c., and the scroll is now
carefully preserved in a tin case; the
leather is so powdery that its custo-
dians are almost afraid to touch it.;
the color is about that of bright and
light new oak soIe-leather, and per-
fectly clean. There are many leather
sandals in the museum dating about
1900 B. c., generally rotten, torn,
! and distorted some of them are pretty
! tough, however The leather roll of
Cheops, recording the dedication of the
temple, may be OF the date OF about
1000 B. c., and is perhaps the oldest
piece of leather in the world. The
British museum possesses an elabo-
rate Egyptian leather sword-belt Of
about 500 or 900 B. c.. it is green and
discolored; a casual observer might
take it for bronze.
Such durability az leather possesses
is unlikely to he found in the majority
Of gelantine films, which may be q lit
tie hardened durlngthem emanlpulatlOns,
but not much, except when treated
with alum.
In no case is it likely that gelan-
tine film is properly tanned in the or
dinary manipulations, notwithstand-
ing the use of alum. To avoid the
tedious process OF ordinary tanning
skins have been sometimes treated
with alum and salt, more especially
in Hungary, but an inferior leathe,
was the result. All attempts to short
en- the process of tanning have failed
the slow molecular changes must bt
allowed to 80 on for months, or an in

ty of the leather is influenced by th'
vegetable astringents used in thep

ming with oak bark gives about tn

TaIbert, the Internal Machine Man, Turn
TN

Talbert, the Internal Machine Man, Turns
Up Again.
The janitor of the Chicago Univer-
sity, on the 21st, made the discovery
that strangers were digging up the col
lege grounds without tinstructionsfr from
the faculty. 1t was found that a
trench had been dug from the observa-
tory running southwest for distance
OF about forty feet. This led out of a
hole some three feet in depth by two in
width, which was close to the observa-
tory, and which was covered by a trap
made OF wood and thickly cernented in
order to deaden the hollow sound
This led to the supposition that plot
had been concocte3 to blow up the uni
versity; but if there was such plot, as
is quite probable, it was secondary to
another design. 1t is thought that
Talbert's object was revenge on one OF
the young lady students for her refusal
to receive his attentions.
