A very curious after-effect of the influ-
enza is puzzling the physicians in some
parts of Italy. A man named Emilis, after
having been in bed several days with the
grip" fell into deep sleep, and every eff
fort to arouse him has been unsuccessful.

A girl is undergoing the same experience.

Englishmen are somewhat inclined to re-
gard Americans with contempt, but the
English hotel proprietors seek after Ameri-
can guests most anxiously, and some Eng
lish noblemen have been known to marry
American heiresses. American money. at
any rate, seems to be regarded by English
men as being as good as British gold.

WASHINGTON, March 2.-The accusa-
tions OF cruelty on the part of army and
navy officers to sub0rdinates, as charged
in the cases of Private Wild and the
sailors on board the United States
steamer Enterprise, have created a
great deal of gossip in army and navy
circles here. Within the next few
weeks courts martial will probably be
under way-one trying Lieut.. Steele.

Commander McCalla, of the navy, as
Brooklyn, for cutting down with his
sword sailor for breach or naval
so close together, have attracted un-
usual attention. Even in departmental
circles, where the cases have been
topics of conversation, 1t is not an un-
usual thing to hear the practice of
cruelty by army and navy officers
roundly denounced. Brutality on the
part Of officers, 1t is maintained,
is not at all necessary to the proper en-
forcement of discipline. In the case OF
Lieut.. Steele, Gen. Crook IL now pre-
pairing a court martial for his trial.
Officially the case of Commander Nc
Gala. of the Enterprise, has not been
called to the attention of Secretary
Tracy, but, as soon as it Is, the secre-
tary will doubtless follow the example
of Secretary Proctor and order court
martial to ascertain all the facts In the
case. Private advices received here re-
specting the two cases mentioned cor
roborate the newspaper accounts which
have been published about them.

SALTWATER, Minn., March 2.-The
most CHASTITY tragedy in Stillwater'S
history occurred early this evening.
when August Grath, at his home, No.
1907 South Fifth street, murdered his
wife by cutting her throat and killed
himself in the same manner. Not long
after supper the parents kissed their
children Robert, fourteen years of age ;
Paul, twelve, and August, eight-and
sent them to bed, saying to the chill
dren: "When you go to live with other
people be good children" The boys
went to bed and the parents passed to a
front room, closing the door. About
1880 August was awakened by
a noise, as he says, like water running
in the front room. He could not force
the door, and called in Fred Relich, a
neighbor, who saw through the window
bloody scene. The woman lay On her
back with her throat cut
FROM EAR TO EAR,
her limbs composed and no sign of q
struggle. The husband lay at her side,
his lefthand pressed tightly over his
wife's mouth. His right hand rested on
the floor above his head beside razor.
with which both thrOats haG been cut.
The floor about their head was wide
pool Of blood. Grath left a note in Ger
man. saying that his wife told
him March 2, 1890 (to-day), that in
1883 in POmmern. Germany, police
man had seduced her while her hus-
band was in America hying to make
her home. Since that time she joined
him here, where they lived three years.
1t is supposed that to-day the wife, for
some reason. told the husband Of her
unfaIthfulness, and both agreed to die.
Gratb was a cooper in the employ Of
Apple, the brewer, and he and his fam
lily were much respected by the neigh
bOrs. The dead bodies were removed
TO Spindle's undertaking room, where
an inquest will probably be held TO-
morrow.

included one or two small fights. the

which was two laps to the mile, with
square corners. Mccormick won the
toss and took the side which
gave him the wind in his back on the
start. Paulsen got away little ahead
and both men Immediately began to
skate. From the first 1t became evil

he was clearly outfOOted from the

COVERED With BRUISES.
"A Clergyman thought to Have
Been Murdered.

PHILADELPHIA, March "A man
supposed to be Rev. Father Peter Her.
bert Feron, of Baltimore, died in the
Pennsylvania hospital, this city. this
afternoon, under circumstances which
lead the hospital authorities to believe
that he had been severely beaten
by some unknown parties. He
registered at the st. Charles
hotel on the evening OF
Feb. 2s as 'P. Herbert" He went
away yesterday morning and was not
seen again until this morning, when he
was brought back, In what the hote!
people described as patrol wagon, and
placed in a chair in the hotel rOtunda.
Inquiry at all the patrol stations has
brought forth denial of the statement
that any of their wagons conveyed the
man to the hotel. 1t was seen that
Herbert was very i'll and he
was taken to the hospital. The sick
man complained to the physicians OF eX-
crucating pains in the chest and abdo-
men. One of the doctors, discovering
that his condition was very serious,
asked him If he had any relations to
communicate with. To this the re-
sponse was: II have no one. If must
die | cannot help it," He had given the
name of p. Herbert, and his age as
thirty-three years. and he stuck to this
to the last. Immediately after uttering
the sentence quoted above he rolled
over on his cot and died. Ex-
animation of the body revealed
the presence of bruises on the
abdomen, chest, arms and other
portions of the body. Papers found
among the dead mans effects at the
hotel revealed his true name, and
showed him to have been connected
with the Jesuit institute at Frederick,
Md. ana also with Catholic church in
Baltimore. He had evidently been a
wanderer for some time past, having
lived at Montreal, New Orleans and sew
eral Western cities. 1t was also shown
that he had corresponded with Rev. D..
K. Slattery, of st. JOseph's seminary.
Baltimore, and that gentleman has been
communicated with by the coroner.
1t has since been learned that Father
Fer0n was picked up ou the street last
night in an almost unconscious condi-
ton by policeman, taken to the sta.
tiOn house and locked up on charge OF
drunkenness. This morning. when his
true condition was discovered, he was,
it is alleged, placed in a patrol wagon
and carted to the hotel ana left there.
