CRUISING OFF HAYTL
Two Relief Vessels to Be Sent on Ac-
count of the Fever.

Two Relief Vessels to Be Sent on Ac-
count of the Fever.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA telegram was
received at tine navy department to-day
from Rear Admiral Luce, on board the
United States steamer Galena, dated King
ston, Jamaica, saying that due regard for
the health of the officers and mel on that
vessel requires two more ships for relief
during the Haytien revolution. The United
States steamer Atlanta, now being repaired
at the New York navy yard, will probably
be ordered to Port au Prince to relieve the
Galena, as il is deemed prudent to have that
vessel leave the infected neighborhood as
soon as possible. According to the present
policy Of the department, two naval vessels
will cruise in Haytian waters until tue
present revolution is at an end, but
no one vessel will be exposed to the danger
Of fever contagion for any great length Of
time. Tho Ossipee aud Atlanta are said to
be the only available relief vessels. The
Ossipee has already sailed from Norfolk for
Port-au-Prince, and the Atlanta will prob
ably follow her as soon as she can be gotten
ready for sea.

TWO LIVES ENDED BY ONE HAND.
A Dentist and His Wife Prove Devo-
ton by Death.

a D0nDlbb anu his WIG ErOV0 DeVO-
ton by Death.
HAzLEToN, Pa, Jan. 7.-Dr. ]. H. Nyer,
the Oldest dentist of the town, shot and
killed his wife this morning and then COM
mitted suicide by placing the muzzle OF his
revolver at his temple and sending bullet
into his brain. The death of both was in
stantaneous. The deed was evidently pre-
ireditated double suicide by the doctor aud
and his wife. The latter had been an in
valid for a number of years and suffered
considerably from an incurabe disease
The doctor had large practice
and all the money he msde was
spent in attempts to obtain relief
from her malady. No children blessed
their union. The affection Of the couple
was strong, and nothing was spared by the
husband to add to the comfort II his wife.
Last winter was spent in Florida with the
hope Of helping his wile's health, and re-
peated visits have been made to physicians
in nearly every part Of the country to secure
relief for her. Last Saturday they returned
from one of these trips, aud Mrs Nyer had
been confined to her bed since that time.
Every circumstance points to mutual un-
derstandlng between the two that death
would end their trouble and her suffering.

yesterday brought in the mangled body of

thrown from the top of train by a goat

The animal belonged to theatrical com
pany, and got on the train at Cheyenne, it
is supposed. from a low shed adj lining a
water tank. After the train let Cheyenne
the goat chewed the bell cord awhile and
then drove two of the brakemen to the
caboose, where they remained in mortal
terror, believing that the animal was a
wild cat. Sumner was on the front of the
train, and had not seen the goat until the
latter rushed at him full tilt. In the dark
ness he lost his balance and fell from the
train. His companions, peering over the
top Of car, saw his lamp go out The
train was stopped as soon as possible and
run back. Summers body was round lying
beside the track. His neck had been broken.
A cowboy lassoed the goat when he train
arrived here, and the coroner ordered him
to the pound, pending an inquest.

GEFFCKEN'S RELEASE.

A Claim That He Was Not Accountable
for His Action.
BERLIN, Jan. THE Reichsranzeiger
saws in connection with the Gefcken case:
"The conrt held that although the initial
inquiry showed sufficient reasons for assum-
ing that Prof. Geffcken had published
information which it was necessary for the
interests of Germany to conceal from for
eign countries, the evidence was not suffi-
cient to show that he was aware of the
nature Of the news. The court therefore
abandoned the prosecution and ordered the
treasurer to pay the costs of the case"

SOCIALISTS BACK BoULANGER.
A meeting of socialists was held tonight
to choose a candidate for the vacant seat IN
the department of the Seine One hundred
and ten delegates, representing all the
socialist committees in the department,
were present. The meeting voted unanl-
mously in favor of Gen. BOuanger This
action, it is believed, insures the return OF
Gen. Boulanger to the chamber of deputies
by great majority.
NJ. Jacques has issued an address to the
Seine electors. Inlt he says: "Clerlcallsm
is leading to fight all the malcontents aad
enemies of the republic, for whom Gen.
Boulanger is the standard bearer" He ap-
peals to the electors to save the country
from dishonor and a return to personal
power.
NEVER FELT SURER.
In an interview to-day Gen. Boulanger
said that his election experience enabled
him to feel the pulse of the constituency as
well as any one, and that never,
even during his triumphs in the depart
ment of the North, did he consider his
success so certain as now. The exaggerated
importance attached to this contest by his
opponent would only influence the provinces
still more in his favor in the event of his
election. Therefore ne would work bis
hardest to secure a brilliant success, a sue
cess that would lead to triumph in q gen
eral election.
