KILLED WITH A CUP.

Having Cut His Throat an Editor Tears
the Arteries Open with His Hands.
BOsToN. Sept. 2l.-FOr some time past
Francis b. O'Donnell, aged 30 years, and
his brothers, Edward and George, have
been proprietors Of the ROxbury Gazette.
Francis had been suffering from aberra-
tion OF the mind. Yesterday morning he
became worse, and his brothers induced
him TO accompany them TO the Office OF
DR.. Williams. Upon entering the
Office he became unmanageable and
jumped through a window, carrying
the sash with him. Those in
the room succeeded, however, in securing
him in time TO save him from being
dashed upon the pavement below. Upon
being again placed in the room he sud
denly seized "a cup that stood on the table
and broke it into fragments, secured a
sharp piece of the vessel, and before his
movements could be arrested, drew IL
rapidly across his throat from ear 10 ear.
Then dropping his weapon, he grasped
with his hands the exposed arteries and
tore them wide open. He died while
being taken TO the hospital.

STATUS OF THE TREATY.
VIENNA, Sept. 2l.-An inspired article
in DE FreDldenbldH states that the union
istlc tendencies OF Bulgaria and Roumelia
have repeatedly excited the serious at
tention of political circles. The powers,
the paper says, continue TO cherish de-
sire to respect and maintain the
treaty OF Berlin. The action
OF Prince Alexander, Of Bulgaria,
in placing himself and his army at the
head OF the rising constitutes grave Vio-
lation IN International law. 1t is u chal-
lenge TO Turkey. Europe canuot for the
benefit of single Balkan State, indorse
this infractlOn of treaty rights, entailing
disruption OF the balance Of power and OF
the national political forces OF the Balkan
peninsula as fixed by the Berlin treaty.
1t is premature to say definitely what
common action will be taken by the
powers, but it is certain that the move
ment will be kept in the narrowest possi-
bic bounds, the powers retaining supreme
control Of events in the Balkans.

meeting of citizens of st. JOseph's parish
it was stated that the number OF small

IEDIANAPoLIs, Sept. 21.--A new phase
Of the Indiana township bond swindle was
developed here to-day. Heretofore It has
been generally understood that these war

had been issued in payment for goods that
were never delivered, and that Pollard
and his dishonest trustees shared In the
proceedings. To-day Edgar Stark, Cash
Ter OF the Cincinnati National Bank,
came TO the city bringing
$4,000 worth OF warrants purpOrting TO
be issued by Ernest kitz, trustee OF the
township IN which this city Is situated.
The warrants were submitted TO the in

at once pronounced them fergeriee. The
warrants are indorsed by r. B. Pollard,
and were placed with the Cincinnati bank
as collateral by G. Il. Cook, proprietor Of

SMITHS sH ARP DODGE.
His Oflce Claimed 90 be Out OF the
JurIsdietiOn of Courts Martial.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Messrs. Hun
ter and Chandler, counsel for Paymaster
General Joseph A. Smith, Of the Navy
Department, this morning filed petition
to the Supreme Court of the District of
Columbia asking that writ OF prohibi-
tion be issued restraining the Secretary
Of the Navy from further proceedings in
relation to the charges against their
client. The Smith oourt-martial reas-
sembled at II O'clock this morning in com
pliance with orders issued by Secretary
Whitney last week, and each member was
at once served with q notice OF the appli-
cation made by the counsel to the Su-
preme Court. Secretary w hitney was
served with similar notice, In conse-
quence OF which he directed the court to
adjourn for two weeks.
GROUND OF THE APPLICATION.
The application OF the counsel sets forth
that the office of Paymaster General is a
civil one, the functions of which are dis
cretionary with the incumbent, subject to
the approval OF the Secretary of the Navy,
and tha "a court martial has no Jurisdic-
ton in the premises. This proceeding
differs from that taken by the counsel OF
DR.. Wales, in that the latter applied for a
writ OF habeas corpus TO relieve the ac-
cused from military arrest The court in
the Wales case did not decide upon the
point OF the jurisdiction of courts mar
tial. The counsel have asked to be heard
upon this application next Wednesday at
10 O'Clock. A decision fay orabe to the
accused would, 1t is held, have the effect
OF nullifying the sentence OF the court
martial already pending.

faction. Ever since he was dismissed
from the church he has kept up the fight
through his paper. Last week he assailed
the presiding elder, minister and others
in the Current, and by a circular dis
tributed through the mails on Saturday
he made an attack on Mr.. and Mrs. Van
Loo. 1t was for this that the boys attacked
him
