Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, September 16.-Word
has reached here from Steiner's Flat, an
isolated spot in Trinity county, in North
ern California, that last Tuesday night,
Ole Iverson, a man whose mind had
been apparently growing weaker for sew
eral months, shot his wife dead and then
after reading sections in prayer book,
placed the muzzle of his rife in his
mouth. pulled the trigger with his toe.
and killed himself. The deed was COM
mitted at night when both were in bed.
When the neighbors found their bodies
next morning they also found VERSIONS
babe who was with them at the time,
with it's face and body completely COW
cred with blood, in which it had crawled
in its effort to awake its parents.
The thought that seemed to prey most
on Iverson's mind was that some one
was planning to kill him. No reason is
known whv he should have taken the
life OF his wife unless it was insanity. The
indications are that his wife was quietly
sleeping when he arose, took Winches-
ter rifle, placed 1t to her left ear and fired.
She was sleeping at the front of the bed.
The upper part OF her skull was carried
away and the larger portion of her brains
was found lying on the floor some dis
tance from the bed. The bed clothes
were completely saturated with blood.
After committing the deed he evidently
arose, seated himself in chair for a
time and perused his prayer book, with
the possible purpose Of preparing himself
for another world. He then climbed
over to the back side of the bed again
and shot himself. Every bone in his
head was shattered. They leave seven
children. Iverson always had been con.
sidered kind to his family.

A THRILLING VOYAGE.
Charley Percy's Latest Adventure
i'm Niagara whirlpool.

NIAGARA FALLs,N. Y, September 49,
Charles A. Percy, who went through the
whirlpool rapids August %, 1887, in his
life boat, and some lays afterward pro.
ceeded from the whI!. pool to Lewistown,
attempted the same feat this afternoon.
He left Old Maid Mist landing above
the suspension bridge at 4:15, and
crawled into one of the inclosed apart
ments of his boat. The boat passed the
whirlpool rapids and came out of the
whirlpool safely. When about half mile
below the whirlpool the waves dashed
in the manhole, forcing him out into
the boat. Being thrown overheard, he
swan through the dangerous rapids to
Lewiston, a distance of three miles,
where some fishermen picked him up in
an exhausted condition at 80 o'clock.
Percy had contracted to make the voyage
from the suspension bridge, through the
Niagara river and across the lake to To-
ronto, to be put on exhibition there with
his boat.

GOLDEN SON,
Buried I'm Odd Fellows, Cemetery
The Poison Episode.

Nur1ed IN Odd Fellows Cemetery.
The Poison Episode.
SAN Francisco, September 16.- The
body Of Alexander Goldenson, the MUIR
derer of Mamie Kelly, was buried in the
Odd Fellows Cemetery here to-day.
Father Fasanotti appeared at the house
of Goldenson's mother this afternoon to
take charge of the burial service, but as
the family positively stated that Catholic
services should not be held over Col
denson, the Father withdrew his
permit to allow the body to be buried
in the Catholic cemetery. Application
was then made to the Jewish cemeteries,
but as Goldenson before his death had
embraced the Catholic faith, those in
charge would not permit the burial of his
body to take place in Jewish grounds. A
lot was then secured in the Odd Fellows
cemetery, and the burial took place with
out any services whatever, either Jewish,
Catholic or Protestant.
Father Fassanotti, in a statement
given out tonight, says on Thursday
Dight (the night before the hanging),
before he was baptized he revealed to
me the fact that he had poison in his
possession, and he gave me gelatine
capsule containing about ten grains
OF cyanide of potassium-sufficien
to kill twenty men. He said
he intended to commit suicide that
same night, and could easily have done
SO. l told him I would not take the
poison from him, but would trust in his
word of honor and in his new faith that
he would not commit suicide, as such an
act would not be consistent with his con-
version. He promised, and l returned
the poison to him and received him into
the church. Next morning he gave the
poison to the Sheriff and Jailor.
