AN UNPRECEDENTED CASE.

Harper, the Southside Man Who Shot
Himself Through the Brain Nearly
Three Weeks Ago, Died Yesterday.
George Harper. the man who shot himself
with suicidal intent by placing pistol to
his mouth on the 18th of last month, died
yesterday morning at his home on Ellsworth
street, Thirty-frst ward. The bullet went
clear through his brain, and how he man.
aged to live for almost three weeks is a
question which is now bothering the med
ical fraternity of the two cities. The case
is without parallel in this part of the
country, and will be reported to the medical
journals by the attending physicians.
An investigation bordering on a post
mortem examination was held yesterday
after his death. 1t was found that the bull
let entered the head through the middle of
the roof of the mouth. 1t passed vertically
upward and came out OF the top of the skull
little to the right of the median line of the
head and between that and the left ear. 1t
was found that the fragments of skull had
been driven out and no bones from the
mouth driven into the brain. There was
great destruction of the brain tissue, but it
was also found that paralysis came on grad
ually. Another peculiar feature of the case
was a fracture by transmitted force upon
the opposite side of the eye, destroying the
socket.
The patient did not lose consciousness
until Friday morning. Up until that time
he had been feeding himself and could take
the cup of nourishment given him. He
refused to say why he committed the deed,
and the secret, whatever it was, died with
him. The physicians who had been attend
ing him on account of the peculiar features
of the case, were Drs. English, Brumbaugh,
Mccain, Ayres, Young and Hustled.
Harper worked at the American Iron
Works, and leaves family of wife and
five children, who are in straightened cir
cumstances

BLAZES NEAR DIXMONT.


The LarRe New Barn Near the Insane Asy-
lum Destroyed.
The large new barn on the Dixmont In
sane Asylum grounds was completely de-
stroyed by fire last evening, and for a time
it was believed the other outbuildings would
ignite and cause panic among the inmates.
Although the barn is about quarter of
mile from the institution the building would
have been in danger had the other frame
structures caught fire.
The inmates were locked in their rooms
and not permitted to see the fire and mes
sage was sent to Chief Grow, of the ALE
gheny fire department, asking for assistance.
A fat car and locomotive were soon OBJ
tanned and the Chief was prepared to ship
an engine and hose down when he received
word that his services were not required.
The barn that burned had just been filed
with hay during the week. When the fire
was discovered about Z o'clock, the horses
but the flames had gained such head
way that it was found impossible
to extinguish the blaze. The
apparatus was in good order,
and the employees devoted their efforts to
preventing the flames from spreading to the
adjoining buildings. A bucket brigade was
formed and operated by number of the
milder inmates of the asylum, who did very
effective work.
The Superintendent estimates the loss at
about So, 900. The origin of the fire is not
known.

THE MANAGER HERE.
MIR. Locke Says the May Festival Will be
Second to None Ever Given in America
Round Tn he N C.raof Succeas.

Second to None Ever Given in America
Bound to be Great Success
Mr.. Seymour E. Locke, of New York,
who will manage the May Festival, arrived
in the city yesterday from California and
registered at the Anderson Hotel. Mr..
Locke said he hadn't been in Pittsburg since
1885. when he had charge of the Wagner
Festival.
He couldn't say much about his plans for
the coming musical event until he had
learned what had already been done, but
Mr.. Locke expressed the opinion, judging
from the character of the singers and musi-
clans selected, that the festival would be
second to none ever given in America.
Mr.. Locke had an interview with Carl
Retter yesterday afternoon. He will begin
at once to actively take hold of the i'm
portant work yet to be done.
81 do not care to talk in a general way
about opera in America" he said. "My
connection with the unfortunate American
Opera Company was so unpleasant that 1
have no desire to refer to it. The venture
proved failure, and they still owe me some
money. Mrs. Thurber is an enthusiastic
woman, but she got into deep water. 1t is
pity that such a magnificent company
could not have been held together. I
shouldn't think Mrs Thurber, after her last
experience, would care to go into any more
such enterprises.
"In Europe all the large play houses are
subsidized by the Government This ac-
counts for European success in very many
instances. The American Government will
subsidize great many things before they
will adopt the European plan with refer
ence to theaters. The American people are
not quite ready for a display of such mag
nanimity. I would like to see more inter-
est taken in American opera. I am doing
all I can to further the good work, but do
not want to repeat my past experiences with
operatic ventures in hurry"

The fire was discovered by H. P. Hub

The Liberal League held its regular

FAST OCEAN SAILING,
The Paris Exhibition is the Attraction in
Europe This Year-A Reason Why
Ocean Travel is Increasing.

The Paris Exhibition is the Attraction in
Europe This Year-A Reason Why
Ocean Travel is Increasing.
The prospects for steamship travel to
Europe are better than they ever have been
before in the ocean steamship business. One
reason which accounts for this is the fact
that the Paris Exposition takes place dur
ing the summer, and the facilities offered
by some of the steamship companies are so
tempting that a large number of people
who would otherwise spend their annual
holidays in this country will go to Europe
this summer.
Mr.. J. J. Mccormick, the well-known
steamship agent, in speaking of the ocean
travel for the coming season, said yesterday:
Eyes, 1 believe that the number of tourists
to Europe will be nearly doubled this year
to what it ever has been before. The Paris
Exhibition, which is the great attraction of
the year, will induce many people to 60 to
France this summer.
However, there is another. reason which
will greatly encourage ocean travel, and
that is the enormous Improvements which
have been made in the building of ships.
This summer will see the fastest ships on
the ocean that have ever been plying be-
tween any two ports on the globe.
The latest accounts Of the new twin screw
steamer City of Paris beat anything that
has ever before been achieved. She made
81 knots an hour on her trial trip from Glas-
gov to Liverpool. 1t is said that she is to
make the journey from Liverpool to New
York in days and II hours, which is Is
hours and 80 minutes faster than the quick
est trip of the Etruria, the great Cunard
vessel.
This year the trip to Europe will also be
cheaper than ever before. There is one
company that will undertake to carry one
saloon passenger from Pittsburg to Paris
and back for S129, and second class they
charge only $50 for the same trip.
Among the many well-known people who
will leave for Europe very soon are the fol-
lowing named persons: Mr.. and Mrs. Jonas
R. McClintock, Mr.. Wilson and Miss Ar
buthnot, Mrs, Miss and Mr.. Alexander
Crawford, Mrs. Chambers, Mrs. Rogers,
Miss Bissel, Mr.. T. A. Gillespie, Major
Joseph Speer and William McCague.

IightfuI Place in the Country.
Mr.. F. c. Stokes, of Grand Forks, North
Dakota, who was formerly Register of
Beaver county, is in the city, visiting Dr.
Rahauser, on the Southside. Speaking of
the new State to DISPATCH reporter, last
night, he said:
Since the Territory of Dakota has been di-
v1ded into two States, the general condition of
the country has very much improved. Every
thing is booming up there, and we are making
rapid strides. We feel now like we are taken
care of like any other part of the United
States, and consequently we have become more
buoyant in our energy and enterprise.
All we lack, however, is strength. There are
not enough of us up there. The country has
somehow or other always been in bad repute
and for no true reason whatever. We have
everything a man may desire. The Govern
ment gives him land free, and land on which
the best grain in the United States can be
raised. Wheat, barley. rye, corn, buckwheat-

ANOTHER STONE FIGHT.
The HOodlums Above Twenty Eighth Street
Had a Battle Yesterday.

Had a Battle Yesterday.
There was a lively fight on the hillside
above Twenty-eighth street yesterday after
noon among the boys who live along Jones
avenue and the boys who make the brick
yards on the hill their headquarters. Stones
were used at first, and as the fight grew
warm pistols were drawn and several shots
fired. The brickyard boys were
the stronger and beat their opponents
down the hill. As they ran they went
toward the house of George Benjamin
Keller, colored man, on Wharton avenue.
He was standing in the doorway when
stone struck him on the head, knocking
him down. At the same time several of the
persons engaged rushed against the house,
breaking in the door and smashing several
panes of glass in the windows.
When Keller fell the fight stopped. The
injured man was placed in bed and physi-
clan called, who found that he had suffered
a severe scalp wound. One of the boys en-
gagged in the fight had his lip split open
and his face cut by stone.
