The ratral : FAILURE.

WAsHINufoN, Aug. 23.-The report
that the gunboat Petrol did not quite
develop the required horse power during
the official trial at Baltimore several
days ago is confirmed from reliable
source. An estimate of her average
horse power during the trip placed it at
1850 horse power, just twenty less than
the contract requirement. The Petrol
is now under penalty of $500 per day,
and should she be turned over to the
government without further trial the
contractor will have to add 81, 900 Ia
this for not making the l 100 horse power
required.

HIeH license is not moral meas
ure. We can hardly conceive Of
the matter Of morals entering into
the question. But the high license
advocates have the audacity to say
that the policy concentrates the sa-
loon business in the hands Of bet
ter class of men. This doubtless
ticklea the man who is able to pay
the tax, or who is fortunate enough
to secure the backing Of some rich
brewer. The payment Of the tax
makes him no better, but he feels
that the big sum has whitewashed
him, and he stands before the COM
munity as better man than the
poor fellow who has gone out Of bus
mess because he could not raise the
cash. He is henceforth respecta-
bic man. All saloOn-keepers are
not bad men, but We dare say there
are men to-day running high license

A MYSTERIOUS MURDER.
A Drug Clerk Butchered Behind
a Prescription Case,
A MOST HORRIBLE TRAGEDY
In Which a Woman is Supposed to
FIsure-A Man Hacked to Pieces
with an Axc-DIscOvered by
Customers Coming In,

New YoRE, March 7,-Guuther Wech.
rung, 20 years Of age, a German drug
clerk at 0S7 Third avenue, was struck
on tho head with an axe early this
morning by an unknown man who at
tempted to rob the store, His assailant
has not been arrested, The prescription
counter, where the murder occurred, is
concealed from the view OF customers in
the store and at It's rear a window over
looks the yard, An extension behind
the counter did service as a sleeping
room for the clerk, Wechrung came to
the store shortly before midnight and
as far as any one knows, slept there until
morning, Tho errand boy rang the bell
at 7 o'clock this morning and was let in
by WeChrung, who was In his shirt
sleeves. He went out to get rolls for
Wechrung's breakfast and the clerk
went whistling behind the prescription
counter to finish his toilet. The boy
was detained at the bakery for fifteen
minutes. In the meantime q plumber
In the basement came In 10 get some
drugs he had ordered, The clerk was
not In sight, but when called answered
family from behind tho prescription
case. Another customer entering after
a lapse Of about five minutes the plumb
er, MCCreery, went behind the pro.
scription counter. In q moment his
cries brought the other customer behind
the counter, where u fearful sight was
beheld. On the floor in front Of
lounge lay Wechrung weltering In q
pool OF blood. He was literally hacked
TO pieces, and from deep cut in his
head the brain protruded. One Of his
hands was cut and pounded into jelly,
and Ills coat was cut In dozen places,
where the hatcbGt blade had entered
his back. The walls and furniture in
the room were spattcred with blood.
WeChrung's senses were not gone and
when questioned said he Ind sat down
on the lounge when the boy left him,
and bent forward to lace his shoes.
While in that position he re.
ceived blow on the arm, and In at
to rise was struck on
the head. InstinCtively raising his
hand to ward of the blow, the hatchet,
in the grasp Of the butcher, again dc.
scended, and the member was nearly
severed. The Sll In the cash drawer
had been taken, but tho detectives are
OF the opinion that tho crime had been
committed by some one with a grudge |
against WeChrung and not a common
thief. The suspicion that woman is
concerned in the case Is strong in the
minds Of the police, but 1t cannot be
learned that tho clerk had any entangle-
ments. He died at 8 o'clock this evening
In Bellevue hospital.

sengez, Two hours before reaching
Chicago the train was fired upon by al
unknowR man, who took deliberate aim
at the rear coach and sent two loads Ol
duck shot crashing through the win
dows. Some OF the passengers narrowly
escaped serious injury. Tho shooting
took place at 4;30 o'clock In the after
noon. The train, an unusually long one,
was behind time and was running at q
high rate OF speed, not stopping at small
stations, When about mile south OF
Rose Lawn, q little station In Indiana,
tlity'six miles from Chicago, the en-
gineer noticed two men standing near
the track. One had double barrelled
shot gun, Supposing they were hunters,
he paid no special attention to them.

1t made u loud report and the terrified
passengers sprang from their seats as the
shot crashed through the windows and
sent q shower OF broken glass flying all
over the car. For an instant they were
almost paralyzed with fear, but realizing
what had happened, some ran to tho
rear door and saw the men still standing
by the track, almost hidden by cloud
OF smoke. An instant later the train
sped around curve. One OF the passen-
gers jerked the bell cord, bnt there was
so much slack that the gong in the loco.
motive cab did not ring. The train
could not be stopped until passenger
ran ahead to the baggage car, where the
conductor was found, and by that time
several miles had been covered and the
conductor would not run back. An OK.
animation OF the coach showed that the
last four windows on the left side were
smashed to atoms. The outside OF the
car was riddled with shot and handful
OF the missiles was picked up from the
car floor. Fragments OF glass were scat

Several OF the passengers were slightly
cut on the hands and face by broken
