Panic Stricken Conyicts,

MADRID, August 4.-Cholera has for
some time existed in the Jail at Carthagena,
but every effort has been made to suppress
outward knowledge of the facts. Yes
terday it leaked out that no less than 200
of the criminals imprisoned within the Jail
were down with the scourge. This discoy-
cry produced a fearful panic among the
other convicts and they arose in revolt and
made most desperate effort to break away
from the prison. They were, however,
finally overpowered by the soldiery, and
compelled to resume their quarters Sev-
eral inmates of the Jail at Grenada are also
ill with the cholera.

the appearance of having peen enameled

and directly, with generous appreciation,
but with no idle flattery of him whose
death had made nation mourn He
would touch only upon his public actions
and services. The speaker then traced
General Grants life from boyhood to man
men of the world and ranked @ ii him wv With the the
foremost. In the course Of the sermon
Canon Farrar said: General Grant has
been grossly and unjuStly called a butcher
He loved peace and hated bloodshed but it
was the duty at all costs to save his coun-
try. In his silent determination and clear
ness of insight Grant resembled Washing
ton and Wellington. In the hottest fury of
battle his speech never exceeded yea, yea,
and nay, nay" Among the English person.

Terrible Struggle for Life with an Armed
Lunatic.


Lunatic.
ATTICA, IND, August "a shocking
tragedy was enacted at Marshfield, War
rem county, yesterday. Since last April
DR.. Orin Aborn, of Marshtield, has been in
sane. Last week preparations were made
to convey him to the insane asylum, and he
was to have been taken there yesterday
The doctor heard of the arrangements and
went to Williamsport to stop the proceed
ings. He was taken in charge by DR.. C. r.
Boyer, a life time friend, who conveyed
him back home, and to satisfy the family
agreed to stay with him all night. At
midnight DR.. Aborn got out his case of sur
gical instruments, ostensibly to show
them, but when they were opened
he seized one of the sharp two
edged knives and started for his wife. Sus-
pecting his intentions, she fed from the
house when he first got out the instru-
ments. While he was hunting for her, A.
b. Cronkheit, who was present, went for
assistance, a, and when Aborn returned to
the loom only DR.. Boyer remained in the
house: Walking up to Boyer the madman
drew his knife across his friends throat.
Boyer then grappled with him and death
struggle ensued. The knife again de-
scended with vicious force, striking Boyer's
breast, and again in the back, over the
shoulder and under the arm. Boyer is
a delicate man, but the knowledge
that it was fight for life
gave him superhuman strength, and
he finally got hold of the knife with both
hands. In the struggle for its possession
Aborn turned it about and the sharp edge
gouged Boyer's hands until they were near
ly cut in two, compelling him to let 20.
Aborn then stopped for rest, and Boyer
made his escape. His garments were
soaked with blood. Aborn had pos
session of the house for some time, although
the street was full of men. He finally
walked out into the yard, plunged the knife
through his own throat and drank guam
tity of iodine. He lived several hours.
Boyer was taken to Williamsport, in a dying
condition,

TRAGEDY.
Sanders hot Through the Heart aud
Bacon Dying.

Late advices from Fort Fetterman con-
firm the story of the shooting ARRAY be-
William Bacon and Jack Sanders. San
ders was shot through the heart, and
Beacon's death is momentarily expected.
Desperadoes both of them, Sanders added
the further accomplishment of being a
bully. Both were extremely handy with
their guns, and pulled them on slight no
tice. One story OF the trouble between
the men is that Sanders boastcd of his
ability to make Bacon take water. This
came to Bacon's knowledge and he charg-
ed Sanders with it. Sanders denied and
Bacon struck him, Guns were in instant
use, for there was no chance for either of
them to run Sanders first struck Bacon in
the neck. and Bacon's aim was destroyed
by Sanders wife, who struck up his arm
He finally broke loose from the woman
and l%eveling his weapon, brought Sanders
to the ground with blood streaming from
a wound in his breast, Bacon then thrust
his smoking weapon in his pocket and
strobe out of the place which had been
vacated by all its inmates at the first
crack of the weapons. Sanders died at 4
o o'clock Thursday. Bacon and Sanders
were partners in the hog ranch, which has
recently been moved to Fetterman from
across the Platte. Bacon owned another
saloon at Fetterman, and was formerly
the owner Of TIE La Bonte ranch. The
settlement at Fort Fetterman is establish
ing a reputation as one of the worst spots
in Wyoming Territory. Nine people
have been slaughtered there in the last
five years. If Bacon dies there will be
two bad men less at Fetterman. But
there is really no reason why such u plague
spot should be suffered to exist. 1t is a
government reservation, and if the author
tiles of Albany county are powerlcss to
remedy the evil, the military authorities
at that point owe it to themselves that
this hog ranch" shall be broken up and
the hogs" driven away.

Considering the severity of the weather,
the Congregational church was well filed
last evening to hear the Rev. Mr.. Reed,
of Denver, in his very popular lecture,
bliss of Ignorance. Mr.. Reeds repu-
tation as an interesting writer, and an
eloquent speaker has long been assured
by his many warm friends in Cheyenne,
but to those who had never before had
the pleasure of hearing him either preach
or lecture, a very great reward was theirs
who braved the cold last evening to hear
him on one of his most popular subjects
as a lecturer.
An attempt to give even a short synop-
sis Of the lecture would be an injustice to
the reverend gentleman. for every express
sion of his discourse was noted for brilliant
thought and eloquence.

about twelve miles east of Cheyenne
