passenger on the train from Chihuahua City
this morning says that it Is known positively
that Governor Maceyra has ordered the Paso
del Norte authorities, in case of an attack
from Texas, to cut off the prisoners head and
deliver it to the Americans. The statement
is given for what it is worth. Eight hun
dred Mexican troops are said to have
left Lagos for Paso del Norte
on Sunday night. 1t is asserted
that second demand has been made that
American officials be notified to leave Mex
leo. Large crowds gather at every street cor
ner, and the arrival of a company of the
Tenth United States infantry at Fort Bliss,
which was assigned here two months ago,
has caused rumor to the effect that eight
carloads of United States soldiers were on

Bayard and the Cutting Case.

BALTIMORE, August 9.-Secretary Bayard,
speaking to a correspondent last night OF
the Cutting case, saw no reason why salts
factory adjustment of the difficulty should
not be reached. He has been assured that
such was the desire of the Mexican govern
ment by the resident Mexican minister, who
said some days ago that his government
would act promptly in the matter. Secretary
Bayard said impressively that he considered
the Cutting affair OF the greatest Importance,
and one as to which the whole country, with
out reference to party, should be unit. The
personal merits or demerIs of Cutting HIM
self had nothing to do with the matter. 1t
made no difference whether he was an angel
of darkness or an angel of light; but 1t did
make possible difference to the American
people whether the contention raised by the
state department in his case should be main
tanned or not. Mexico claims the right to try
an American citizen for an Otfense commit
ted in the United States, and Cutting actual
ly has been convicted and sentenced for pub
lishing libel in Texas.
Mr.. Bayard thinks this raises the gravest
possible question, and II MeXlco's claim is
once conceded no American travelling in
said, with evident feeling, will not

will never consent that one of their fellow
citizens shall be tried by foreign power for
an offence committed in this country. Had
Cutting stabbed his Mexican rival in Texas
instead OF merely attacking his reputation,
does any one pretend that Mexico could have
tried him for nurderp Certainly not"
The secretary said that he had no idea OF
retreatng from the, position taken weeks
ago, when he demanded Cuttings release.
Secretary Bayard says that no ultimatun
has been sent to Mexico. The only army
order made in connection with the American
troubles came from the west last night. say
ing that local troops had been sent to disarnl
reyoluti0nists who had crossed into Texas.

An Investia alton That Should Have Its
Sequel at the Ends of Two Ropes
Fiends in Human Form Who Cumber
the Earth and Poilute the Air.
SCRANTON, Pa, April 6-John Mean
drew AMI his wife Winifred, who live in the
Providence suburb Of Scranton, were in
licted Saturday for the murder of 13-year-
old Mary Gaughan and her little brother
John, the children having liven at his house
since the death of their parents,
more than a year ago. Soon alter
the girls death, which occurred
,omething over a month ago, some of the
neighbors made no secret of declaring that
she died from cruelty and starvation. SO
general became these charges that Coroner
Dean was asked to make an investigation.
This the coroner did, but he did not succeed
in getting evidt nee to warrant the holding
OF McAndrew and his wife.
Then the people o. the neighborhood said
it was a shame for such matter to remain
uninvestigated, and John Murphy, backed
up by few of the residents of Providence,
rad Mr. and Mrs McAndrews arrested the
charge Icing that the defendante had, by
inhuman treatment, deliberately and by
slow degrees, murdered the little girl whom
they had pie iged themselves to rear and pro
tect When the accused persons were
arraigned before Alderman Fuller there
was no difficulty in getting all the evidence
that was necessary to send them to jail
even IL the coroner had admitted that he
was unable to get witnesses to testify
against them
Maggie McAndrew testified that Mary
Gaughan was healthy and robust girl
when she went to the McAndrew house to
live, and that Mary had frequently
told her that she was cruelty
treated by McAndrew. A Mrs. Gal
lagher testified that she had seen Mary
crawl up and down the steps in bitterly cold
weather with nothing on her feet, her only
garment being a calico dress. The testi-
mony of Mrs John Murphy was to the eff
feet that Mary's little brother had told her
that McAndrew had often put a bit in
Marv's mouth and yanzed her about and
McAndrew had branded her cheek with a
hot iron in order, as he said, that he
might recognize her in case she should
appear before him after her death Dr.
Dean swore that the girls limbs were al
Atst HeshitSS, anu lidJ HtE iett bcth
frozen so that one of her toes had actually
dropped OIL. Other witnesses testified that
Mary had been compelled by McAndrew to
sleep on bed of straw in cold room dur
Ing the winter, with but little covering on
her.
The substance of the testimony was that
the girl had been exposed to the rigors of
the cold until her feet had been badly frozen,
and that she had been deprived of clothing
and necessary nourishment until she died.
McAndrewS and his wife are coarse,
brutal people, between 40 and As years of
age and when the aldermen at the close O:
the investigation committed them to Jail for
murder, they seemed not to thoroughly real
ize the gravity of their sitnation- They
| will be tried for their lives in the last week
of the present month

My son GEO years of age) was an inva-

tent that he was unable to walk, stand,
or even touch his feet to the floor. l
have tried many of our best physicians,
but in vain, all agreeing that there was
no help for him. and that he could live
but very short time, but hearing of the
unparalleled success of DR.. Nichols, and
of the remarkable cures he was perform
ing, | concluded to take my son to him,
which did on the 18th of November, and
with the assistance of friend carried the
helpless sufferer into the consultation
room of Dr. Nichols. The doctor after
making careful examination, pronounc
ed the case one that could be greatly
benefited, if not entirely cured, and
commenced the treatment. After one
months treatment my son was able to
walk about the place, and has since been
steadily improving, and we have every
reason to hope for perfect cure. | wish
further to state that DR.. Nichols knows
nothing of this testimonial, as | under
derstsnd he does not approve of the pub
fishing of testimonials. But the doctor
has brought health and happiness to my
home, and l feel it my duty to make this
statement TO the world, knowing there
ore thousands suffering from chronic dis
eoses who know not where to 60 for re>
lief. Either myself or son can be seen at
any time at my home in Moline, where
We will cheerfully converse on the subject
of my sons restoration to health, as we
feel that we cannot say enough in praise

and perfect gentleman.
