RAPID cRowTh KILLED HIM.
1t Is Said Harry Foye Could Not
Have Been Saved.

New YORK, September 2.-Dr A. W.
Shepard made an autopsy yesterday on the
BODY of 15-year-old Harry Foye. who died on
Sunday afternoon at the Christian Scientist
Home at Al Greene avenue, Brooklyn, and
who, as supposed. was another victim to the
Faith Cure delusion. The boy had been
brought on from Portland, Me-, to the in
stitution about six weeks ago by Charles and
Mary FOye, his parents. More than year
ago his remarkable growth excited the alarm
of his parents. and soon afterward when he
became an invalid, leading physicians in
Portland were called in, but the boy con-
tinued steadily to become weaker and hope
of his recovery had been almost abandoned
before his arrival in Brooklyn.
The result of DR.. Shepard's autopsy
partly relieves the Christian Scientists from
responsibility for the boys death. He
found that death was caused by an@mia and
heart trouble following the boys rapid
growth, and that he could not have been
saved by medical skill.
No arrests, PROBABLY, will be made in the
case. The Green avenue institution has
been in existence only year. The house is
owned by a Miss Soye, and has been con-
Quoted by her on the Christian Scientist
plan. She Is at present out of town, and the
Institution Is temporarily in charge of Matron
Robinson. 1t is said there are generally
from eight to ten sick persons in the insti-
tuition. Young Foye's death is the first that
has occurred since its establishment.

the DEATH OF BARRUNpIA.
Reported Attempt on the Life of
rHinister Mizner.

NEW YORK, September "A Herald spec
ial from the city of Guatemala says that the
daughter of General Barrundia, who was sho
to death on the Pacific Mail steamship Aca-
pulco at San Jose de Guatemala last week,
attempted to kill United States Minister Miz-
ner yesterday The young woman entered
his office with pistol in her hand and, ac-
cusing him of having been the direct cause
of her fathers death and aiming the pistol
directly at his heart, pulled the trigger
Minister Miner had picked up large book
that laid on his desk which he held between
himself and the girl and the bullet intended
for him embedded itself In the leaves of the
book. Before second shot was fired assist
ance arrived and the pistol was taken from
the young woman. Minister Miner says he
will not prosecute her.
A special from the City of Mexico says the
widow and children of General Barrundia
have sent telegram to President Harrison
protesting that the General was vilely as
sassinated on board an American steamer
where he was found under the shelter of the
American flag, and that his death was lille
gally consummated by the government of
Guatemala is due to the oficious and cIimi-
nal cooperation of Minister Miner who or
dered the captain of the steamer to deliver
up the General.
