THE EAST FINISHED

NEW YORK, Dec 20-Signor Succi. the
Italian faster, who began fast of forty
five days on Nov. 5, at $40 p. m, ended his
fast at $40 tonight. He has accomplished
what no one else ever did, or even attempt
ed. Other fasters have gone forty days
without food, but they were so weak they
could not SIT up. DIR. Tanner could not sit
up after ten days, and could not write his
name after the fifteenth day.
Succi scorned the idea of weakening.
On his fifteenth day he rode seven miles
on horseback, and has exercised every day
since The doctors took their last exami-
nation at O'Clock tonight. Succi's
weight was 1919. On November it was
145l4, a total loss of 1919 pounds, or less
than pound a day. Temperature, 9S ,;
pulse, G2: general condition, weak: clear
tongue. The bulletin of his condition was
signed by the thirteen physicians who
have been watching Succi during his fast
The worst attack of gastric trouble that
he had during his fast occurred today at 5
O'Clock, during which his pain was so
acute that it was feared he would collapse:
but his indomitable will power carried
him successfully through. From ) O'clock
until he took his first cup of cocoa, at $40,
his pain continued to be more or less acute
1t was evident by the contortions of his
face, which was terribly shrunken: by his
frequent change of positions on the lounge
on which he was reclining; by the nervous
twitchinGs of his wasted hands, and by
the restless glare of his sunken eyes.
When the cocoa was prepared, shortly
after O'Clock, Succi got off the lounge,
and staggered TO the table where the
nourishing diet was placed The specta-
Gle presented was pitable. He looked like
a skeleton, ard when he smiled it was
simply ghastly. When he slipped the
cocoa, there was burst of applause from
the spectators. Tomorrow Succi leaves
for Boston, where he exhibits on the
stage for a week for 81 800

Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad company

TOPEKA. Kan, Dec. 20.-In view of the
distress existing among the farmers in the
border counties of Kansas and Nebraska,
the Rock Island railroad has made a
special reduction in the rate on shipments
of corn and oats to those localities. The
maximum rate is 10~eents per 100 pounds
in straight car load lots from any station
on this line in Nebraska or Kansas, when
destined to any station on this line in
Nebraska or Kansas west of shipping g
station. This rate will expire March /,
1891, and must be understood as an emer-
gency rate, applying to west bound only,
and only on the two commodities, and that
it is authorized on account of the crop
failure in western Kansas and Nebraska
1t will be remembered that the railway
commissioners in their late new distance
table made their principal cut on the grain
rates, and this makes a still further reduc-
tion

General Superintendent Dunlap, of the
Rock Island Kansas line, has succeeded in

a DARING ROBBFR

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 20.-A daring at
tempt was made this afternoon to rob the
pay train Of the Louisville, New Orleans
and Texas railroad, two miles south OF
WoOdville The pay train was returning
to Bayou Sara from Woodville, and as the
engine was crossing a trestle the engineer
saw the rail in front of him drawn away
by a man whom he recognized as Daniel
Bradford. 1t WAS too late to stop the
engine, which was deraied, while the
tender and pay car were thrown from the
embankment.
Bradford, who was in hiding. entered
the car and attempted to open the safe,
which was locked. The train crew soon
recovered from their surprise, and, as their
injuries were slight. Bradford. recogniz-
ing that he was overpowered, fled into the
woods, but was pursued and captured and
lodged in Jail at Woodville.

A CAVE MYSTERY

ST. PETER, Mimi. Dec 20.-The cave
wherein the Younger and James boys hid
during the raid on Mortified, where six
men were killed, has been discovered. and
at the same time the mystery of the disap-
pearance of the youngest of the James
boys has been solved, his skeleton having
been found in the subterranean rendez-
vous. The cave is in the great Fayette ra-
vine, in Nicollet county. There were
enough bunks found in the cave
TO accommodate thirty men. Cooking
utensils. tables, stools. etc. were also
found, and letter referring 10 some sto-
len horses, from Jesse James to Jim
Younger, was discovered. The cave con-
tanned several rooms. one OF which had
evidently been used to stable stolen horses

EPIDEMIC AMONG HORSES.

TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 20.-The state veter-
marian is investigating new contagious
disease that has appeared among the
horses in Shawnee and jefferson counties
in this state and some parts of Missouri
The epidemic is a serious one and the dis
ease is new to veterinarians aud horse
dealers, no cause or remedy having yet
been determined In some localities en-
tire stables of fifteen to twenty horses
each were stricken within a week. The
disease made its first appearance in Jetter-
son county in the vicinity of
Meriden about three weeks ago. The
horses live but a few hours when once
the disease strikes them. If left alone they
are inclined to run around in a circle.
They refuse 90 eat or drink, and nothing
has been found that seems TO afford them
any relief 1t is believed the disease is an
affiiction of the brain and spine. The
state veterinarian went to ROssville,
Shawnee county, today in response to
telegram urging him to investigate the
matter there at once. One farmer living
near Rossville lost five horses on Wednes-
day, and eight farmers within a distance
of seven miles of Rossville have suffered
more or less. They are all very much eX-
cited about the matter, and at meeting
on Wednesday raised fund with which
to bring veterinarians 10 investigate the
epidemic, and measures will be taken to
quarantine all cases.

acres of the best land in bestrip, had been
filed, and line of 100 men are still wait

wicket to preserve order, filing claim for
himself. His application was refused.

Richardson, of Chippewa Falls, fought
her way, and when she reached the desk
her hat was gone and her hair disheveled;
