A RABBIT-SHOOTING WITNESS.
The Ingenious Story Told by Witness for
the Defense in Chicago Murder Trial.

CHICAGO, June 13-James Meyers, who
is on trial in Judge Shephard's court, along
with Ronald and Andrew lesley, for the
murder of Axel Gabrielson, offered q re-
markable defense to-day. Gabrielson was
killed in saloon row, in which the three
defendants took part The evidence for
the prosecution showed that somebody in
the party fired q pistol and inflicted the
fatal wound. but it did not place the guilt
upon any particular one. Then the defense
put Meyers on the stand, and he surprised
everybody by admitting that he killed the
man. He said he took the revolver out of
his pocket to strike GabrielsOn with it, and
it was accidentally discharged.
."What were you doing with the re-
y0lverw asked States Attorney Neeleyi

and was going out into tho country to sec

easily shoot enough to keep me from starv-
ing"

volver to shoot rabbits withf"
"Yes, sir, and if you don't believe it,
can prove that had salt in my pocket to
eat the rabbits with"
The ingenious Meyers and Andrew Tes-
ley are both deserters from the United
States army.

CAUGHT IN HER OWN TRAP.


CHICAGO, June ia suit for S25, 900 dam
ages against the Chicago & Eastern lili-
nois railroad. terminated in a sensational
fiasco in Judge Anthony's court to-day.
Mrs. Annie Z. Bailey, the claimant. claimed
to have received severe spinal injuries IN
the explosion of q locomotive OF the Mo-
mence accommodation, near the Polk-street
depot in Chicago, February, ,lsS7, and wassup-
ported in her evidence by her brother, Ma
thaniel b. Baldwin, and Mrs Frances k.
Foreman. The defense produced evidence
that the railroad ticket which Mrs. Bailey
exhibited in court had really been fur
ished her weeks after the accident by a
railroad detective. Mrs. Bailey having
been repeatedly refused ticket of date
previous to the explosion. Letters were
also produced wherein the claimant agreed
to pay man named Smith 500, and DAN
Vile man a like amount, for certain false
evidence which they were to testify in the
case. Mrs. Bailey was SO thunderstruck
as to even fail to deny the authenticity of
these letters to which her signature was at
tached. Her attorneys, Wood L. Willetts,
renOunced the case in open court. Judge
Anthony requested the States attorney TO
present the matter to the grand jury, and
ask for indictments against Mrs: Bailey,
Mrs. Fannie X. Foreman and Nathaniel B.

INTERNATIONAL TYPOGRAPHERS.
Colorado Springs Selected as the Site for the
Proposed Home for Invalids.

DENVER, Col, June 13.-At the third days
session of the International Typographical
Convention matters relating to the sending
of delegate to Paris during the interna-
tiOnal congress, which convenes next
month, was referred to a committee
of the whole. Considerable discus
sion was caused by the receiving of a
communication from the Knights of Labor
in the matter of using plates in the Gov
ernment Printing Office at Washington.
The matter was referred to q special COM
mittee, consisting of Sutton, Of Washing
ton; Cassidy, of Trenton, N. j.; Reichel. Of
Bloomington, Ill; Metcalf, Of Duluth. MinD:;
tions for the establishment of q home
for invalid and INDECENT printers were then
submitted to the meeting. The committee
to which the matter was referred report
unanimously in favor of the proposition
made by tho citizens of Colorado Springs,
who offered eighty acres of land near the
home be started within two
years and completed within, three
years. The convention, amid much
enthusiasm, by rising vote adopted the
report of the committee: both because Of
the value of the land, and because Colorado
Springs is the leading health resort of the
country for lung troubles. The reports Of
the various committees then were taken
up, the consideration of which took up the
remainder of the day.
The president ruled that there were no
vacancies and, consequently, no election
appeal was taken, and the ruling of the
chair was sustained. The delegates will be
entertained at an elegant banquet tonight,
and probably adjourn tomorrow.

THE ARMAGH ACCIDENT.

Many of the Injured in q Critical Condition
Cause Of the Disaster.
ARMAGH, June 13.-Many anxious friends
are making inquiries for missing children
at the infrmary to which the persons in
jured in yesterdays railroad accident were
snken. Crowds surrounded the building,
and the discussion of the terrible disaster
engrosscs the attention of the entire COM
munity. The interior of the infirmary pre-
sents sad spectacle. One of the wounded.
boy named Cleland, died this morning.
Both of his parents and two brothers were
killed outright. The dead now number
seventy-fve. Others of the wounded are
in criticize condition.
Clergymen of all religious denominations
represented in Armagh held a meeting
there to-day for the purpose of effecting an
organization for the relief of the sufferers.
The Protestant primate presided. The
Catholic archbishop made an address, urg-
ing the people to give literally. The Great
Northern Railway Company has given f20o,
and the Duke of Abercorn ESQ.
1t now seems certain that the coaches
which were wrecked in the terrible rail-
deliberately detached from the train, and
that this was done while the
cars were standing on very
steep grade. Stones were gathered from
the side of the track and placed under the
wheels of the detached coaches, and these
stones were expected to prevent their slid
ing down the steep incline to destruction.
Just who was responsible for this crude de-
vice is not clear. but the investigation
which has been set on foot will undouot-
edly place the responsibility for this idiotic
makeshift where it belongs. The plan
seems to have been to drag up the incline
and then to return for the others, but the
forward cars had scarcely begun to move
when the weight of the others forced the
loose stones from under the wheels, and the
doomed coaches started off on their fearful
journey down the incline.

PITTsBURG, June 13.-St Anthony's day
was celebrated at Father Mollinger's
church. the faith-cure priest. to-day. Thou
sands of cripples and diseased persons were
present from all parts of the country. At 6
o'clock this morning the church was
crowded with the lame, the halt and blind.
and by noon 1t was almost impossible to
pass along the street in front of
the church. The results attained
by Father Mollinger in several cases
were almost miraculous. His method
is different with the various cases.
Sometimes he uses no medicine, but rubs
the deformed limb, IN other cases he uses
medicine alone and in some cases both. He
pretends TO do no miracles. he simply finds
ont the malady, and having wonderful
knowledge of medicine and human ills.
prescribes and invokes Gods and the
saints all-healing power to aid him. He
will treat none who have not faith and
does not pretend to make complete cure
without reasonable time-in some cases
months must elapse, and in others the cures
are almost instantaneous.

REPORTED HOLOCAUST IN CHINA.
Rumor that Lu Chow Has Been Destroyed by
Fire and Ten Thousand Lives Lost.

Rumor that Lu Chow Has Been Destroyed by
Fire and Ten Thousand Lives Lost.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 13.-The steamer
City of Pekin arrived yesterday from Hong
Kong, via Yokohama. The Shanghai Cou-
rier of May 10 contains news which the lat
ter received from a correspondent at Chung
King, to the effect that Lu Chow. city
of some Importance in upper Pangtsze, was
reported as being nearly destroyed by fire
o month previous. Seven out of the eight
gates Of the city are said to have been de-
stroyed, and the loss of life, burned and
trampled to death, is estimated at ten
thousand.
Commenting on this. the Shanghai Cou-
rier says: I'm case this startling news is
true. it is a remarkable fact that 1t has not
reached Shanghai before now, as it is just
a month since the fire was reported to have
occurred. Still, this is not conclusive
proof that q great disaster has not hap
pened. as month is not too long a time for
letter to reach Chung King. We met
gentleman in Shanghai, to-day, who was
at Chung King less than month ago. and
he informed us that the mandarin was
fellow-passenger with him as far as
Hankow, and he told him about the fire.
mentioning that three-fourths of the peo-
pie of Lu Chow had been destroyed.

THE WAR In HAYTI.

Hippolyte Captures Port-au-Prince, and Le-
gitime Seeks American Protection.
New YORK, June 13.-The steamer Alene,
from Kingston, Jamaica, June 6, arrived
this morning. and brings intelligence sub
stantiating the London cable reports of
Hippolytes victory and Legitime's defeat.
Chief Officer Williams of the Alene, said
that Legitime had sought the protection of
the American consul at Port-au-Prince.
Hippolyte's officers had entered Port-au-
Prince and taken possession of the town.
The victorious warrior. however, Mr.. Will
Jams said, was not popular with the peO-
President of the black republic by the vote
of the inhabitants. A man named Marri-
ann, Legitime's Minister of Foreign Affairs,
or an ex-President of the republic, whose
name Mr.. Williams could not recall. would
doubtless appear as the next candidate for
the presidency OF Hayti.

CAPTURING A MANIAC.
A Scene of Terror Caused by Raving Lunatic
in Detention Hospital.

CHICAGO, June ia maniac confined in
the detention hospital broke loose from all
restraints, this afternoon, and took prac-
tical possession of the place, attacking peo-
pie with scissors. The lunatic is Seampallo
Grojello. an Italian. He had been in the
hospital about a week, and had been quiet
and comparatively easy to manage. This
afternoon he suddenly became furious.
With yells that could be heard for blocks,
he drove every body out of the ward, which
was being scrubbed at the time. Fortu-
nately. there were but few in the place at
the time, and they fed in terror. Attend
ant Harry Ferguson rushed into the ward
and grappled him, but he was no match for
the muscular lunatic. The Italian had in
some way got hold of q pair of scissors, and
he dug one of the blades again and again
into Ferguson's scalp, inflicting an ugly
cash each time. With the blood streaming
from his wounds. Ferguson was trying to get
away when Superintendent Todd came to
his assistance. The Italian compelled them
both to flee, and the men jumped back into
a little room which the county physician
uses as a private Office. AS Todd went
through the door he received a blow on the
side of the head which stunned him. Fer
and the latter was left in complete control
of the ward. Picking mp two hickory mop
handles one in each hand, he rushed up
and down. Yelling defiantly. Then he at
tackled the door at the south end of the hos
pital: 1t was protected on the inside by
iron bars, but the door itself was part glass.
He made short work of the glass and then
began on the iron bars, which he would un-
doubtedly have wrenched off had he been
given time. Just then. however, four po-
licemen, with patrolman Henry Bell at the
head, assaulted the Italians stronghold.
When Bell came face to face with the mad
man the latter was standing with his hand
''closed i'm on him and received the ugly
weapon Just back of the left ear. and the
blood spurted from the wound, but he bore
the mailman to TIE floor and i'm a moment
the 1eIiow was strapped hand and foot
attracted by the yells and the sound of
breaking glass
