A Dominican War Vessel Attempts to Capture
n ship Flying the Stars and
Stripes-ALively Chase


n ship Flying the Stars and
stripes-A Lively Chase
on the Open Sea.
NEW YORK, April 1O.-Captain Stubs,
of the schooner Carrie A. Bucknam, which
arrived to-day from st. Domingo City, re-
ports that on Marcl p, when off Saona
Island, at about noon, he sighted vessel
steaming toward his vessel from the land,
then distant six or eight miles, The craft
proved to be Dominican war vessel. She
laid her course to intercept the Bucknam,
but could not do so owing to the strong
breeze then prevailing, and fell astern half
or three-quarters of a mile. When nearly
in the schooner's wake, much to the sur
prise OF the crew, she fred a shot which
struck the water only few yards from the
Bucknam's stern.
She then gave chase, but with good
strong breeze the schooner soon distanced
her. After keeping up the chase for about
two hours she gave it up, and putting about
steamed for land. She was a low, rakish,
three-masted steamer of about 500 tons bur-
den, apparently of French or Spanish
build. Her decks were crowded with men.
What her errand was can only be con-
jectured, as the Bucknam was far outside of
their jurisdiction and on the high seas,
where they could have no legitimate right
to overhaul her.
The American flag was flying at her peak
all the time, it having been hoisted as soon
as the steamer was made out to be war
vessel. Captain Stubbs says nothing was
heard by the Bucknam's crew of this vessel
or of the rebellion at st. Domingo City. The
better class of people there hesitate to speak
their minds even to foreigners. They no
doubt are afraid of compromising them
selves,

1T TERMINATED FATALLY.
The Accident 10 Colonel Richard Long, of
Chicago, Results in Death.

The Accident 10 Colonel Richard Long, OF
Chicago, Results in Death.
Colonel Richard Long, of Chicago, who
was injured last Thursday on the Ft. Wayne
Rail Road, died at the Allegheny General
Hospital about o'clock last evening, his
death was not caused by the injuries he re-
ceiVed, but was due to morphine. 1t was found
necessary to keep him under the influence of
the drug and. as he had been in the habit OF
taking it regularly, large doses had to be given
him to have the desired effect The attending
physicians and Superintendent Patterson OF
the Allegheny General Hospital, say that his
injuries we're not of fatal character and his
death was caused by the use of morphine.
In speaking of the accident last night Super
intendent Patterson said: Colonel Long was
a very delicate man. He was wounded twice
in the army. and was not able to indure the in
jury he received. He was addicted to NOR
phine. and his system was broken down
through the use of the drug. The accident
was not serious one. His hand was cut of,
and he received a scalp wound. Any ordinary
man would have recovered. but We found it
necessary to give him morphine. An ordinary
dose did not have any effect. as he was accus-
toned to using the drug. This had more to do
with his death than the in jury"
Colonel Long was widower, and his father
was with him when he died. He has taken
charge of the body, and it will be removed to
his former home to-day.
The deceased resided in Chicago, but was
well known here. He was connected with the
Pittsburg Forge and Iron Company at Werner
station. and was on his way to visit the works
when he was run over by locomotive.

HEALING WITHOUT MEDICINE! !!
The Grand Opera House Filled
With People.
A MEDICAL WONDER.


The interest manifested by inYalids of every
description in the public healing of the sick at
the Grand Opera House every morning from 10
to IL o'clock by DR.. Smith, seems to be increas-
ing.
The Opera House is filed to over1owing
every morning with invalids from all parts of
the country and city who are suffering from all
manner of complaints, eagerly waiting for an
opportunity to receive a magnetic treatment
from Dr. Smith. That this man is endowed
with strange and mysterious gift to heal dis
eases there can be no possible doubt. The
many wonderful cures he performs simply by
laying his hands upon the invalid is truly mar
velous Scores of helpless invalids are carried
upon the stage, and after receiving magnetic
treatment of not more than five minutes dura-
tion, get'up, walk around the platform and de-
clare to the audience that they are entirely
well. DR.. Smith is thoroughly educated ply
sician and surgeon, and performs all operations
known to surgery; he cordially invites both
the siok and the well to go to the Grand Opera
House and witness his many wonderful cures.
This morning man went upon the stage who
had been helpless invalid for four years, suf-
ferin from rheumatism in, his back and legs.
He was so lame that he was obliged to walk
with crutches and could not stand alone with
out them. In five minutes he was running
around the platform with his crutches over his
shoulder, as we'll as he ever was in his life.
Another gentleman who suffered from a lame
shoulder and who had not been able to put on
his coat without help in five years, was cured in
less than five minutes. A lady who had been deaf
five years was made to hear whisper. lady
suffering from rheumatic headache was re-
ieved of all pain in few moments time.
These wonderful cures were witnessed by an
audience of more than 1000 people. DR.. Smith
will treat the sick every morning this week at
the Grand Opera House from 10 to IL o'clock
free of charge; everybody is invited to attend
and listen to the lecture and witness the cures.
The Doctor is located at 502 Penn avenue,
where he may be consulted free from 8 A. M.
until P. NJ. The Doctor will also give free
lecture to ladies next Sunday afternoon at 2
o'clock in the Grand Opera House. This lee
ture will be illustrated with life-sized charts,
and will be the most interesting of any lecture
ever given in Pittsburg. Every lady should
attend. Letters of inquiry must contain two
stamps. apIG74
