Martin Threatened to do
Up the President"
But Ran Into the Arms OF a
Burly Policeman Instead.
An Aggravated Gag" Causes
the UnhOIy Outbreak.
Young Martin VIII Plead Guilty to
Assault and Pay Fine.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-An arrange
ment viii in all probability be made dur
ing the next few days by which Mr.. J.
Harry Martin, step-son of Senator Vance,
can 90 into the police court and plead
guilty to an oaense. punishable by fine,
and settle the charge against him grow
ing out of his breaking the white. house
windows last Saturday night
The charge pending against him is
house break ng. Should the case ever
come to hearing some surprising facts
would, no doubt. come to light and what
action the president took in the affair
would be shown.
When Martin, who was crazed by liquor.
broke away from his companions and
scaled the fence, it was done after he had
used such language as Pm going to do
the president" His companions feared
that in his reckless mood he would do
some rash act As soon as he started over
the fence one of his companions, young
Mr.. Earle. ran all the way round to the
front OF the executive mansion to notify
the officers that Martin was coming to-
ward the rear of the building. When he
reached the front door, Earle was ex-
hausted and nearly out of breath. He
started to tell as best he could of Martins
intended visit, but before he finished a
crash was heard in the rear.
Policeman Kenney and Dubois made 8
rush for the window leading from the red
parlor to the poriIco, and when they got
in sight Martin stepped one side. He did
not reach the parioT. The window was
raised, but before officer Kenney could get
outside Martin. who Is quite an athlete,
struck him a heavy blow which nearly
stunned the officer.
The presi lent, who had heard the crash,
wasupon the scene in a few seconds, and
if he had not assisted the officers there
would, no doubt, have been more trouble
than there was. President Harrison, seeing
the difficulty the men had in struggling
with the powerful young fellow, procured
rope-he cut away one OF the ropes that
fastened a cTrtain-and with the officers
assistance bound Martin securely. The
president tied the knots himself and made
a neat Job of it as he was less nervous and
excited than the others who had
been in the struggle.
After Martin had been secured and
taken from the place the president ex-
pressed satisfaction at the action Of the
officers.
Since the affair happened the president
has been visited by at least a score Of
people who have actually begged him to
intercede in behalf of the unfortunate
young man, but thus far, so far as is
known, the president has taken no action
in the matter The president. it is said,
does not think Martins conduct should
60 without punishment.
1t is said, however, that the president
is not DESTROYS OF having him sent to
prison, and for that reason a charge of as
saulting Policeman kenney will be filed,
if his counsel will agree to enter plea of
guilty, with the understanding that a fEe
will be imposed.

A DOUBLE TRAGEDY.
Tom Hurley Murders n white Man aud Is
LYnched by a Mob.

GlhCneu py ~
MIDDLEsBoRoUGH KY, March 26.-An-
other terrible tragedy took place this
morning at Cumberland Gap, Tenn, a few
miles from here, in which j. A. Burke, the
telegraph operator at that place, was shot
and instantly killed by Tom Hurley, a
negro. Reports are conflicting rs to what
caused Hurley to ommit the deed, but
from what can be learned from reliable
sources it seems that Burke and Hurley
fell out over some trifling matter in a ga
loon. The latter then left and procuring
a shot gun laid in ambush for Burke The
latter was on his way home when the
negro discharged the contents of both bar
rels at him, tearing out his eyes. cheeks
and teeth. He died instantly. The MUIR
derer then fed, but was captured here
this morning and taken back to the Gap
by circuitous route to avoid meeting q
mob which had gathered to lynch him.
The excitement at the scene OF the muir
der is intense. and unless the officers sue
coed in keeping Hurley in hiding until
the people cool down, the murderer's
hours are numbered. 1t was one of the
most cold-blooded and unprovoked MUIR
ders that has ever disgr ced this section.
The murdered man was well known and
liked here. He formerly resided at Louis
vii e. Hurley halls from Columbia, Ky.
LATER-A messenger has just arrived
here with the news that the officers who
were taking Hurley back to the Gap were
met 10y sixty armed men, who took Hurley
and went into the mount aims with him.
Before this dispatch reaches the press
Hurley's soul will in all probability be in
eternity

Iva Cid L ood.

VIENNA, March PA dispatch from
Kufstien, a fortified town of the Tyrol on
the Inn and near the Bavarian frontier,
brings news of a murder by Malta con-
spirator.
From the few details received from the
scene of the tragedy it appears that we'll
known merchant of Kufstein. who was
upon the point of entering a railroad car
at that place, was suddenly confronted by
an Italian who plunged a sti.letto in the
merchants breast, killing him almost in
stantly. The Italian, who turned out to
be a workman employed in the neighbor-
hood, was promptly arrested. and from the
investigation subsequently, made by the
police authorities il seems that the Italian
was member of the deous M;fia soci-
ETY., and that he had killed the merchant
for a conn atriot who had been detailed to
kill him for some real or fancied wrong
done to the Malta society and for which
the prisoners compatriot had been con-
demned to death by one OF the Mafia's
secret tribunals. The murder of the mer-
chant of Kufstein has created considerable
excitement and there is feeling of dam
gerous indignation growing against the
Italian secret society.

Description OF an Interesting Scientific
Discovery.

CHICAGO, March 27.-Dr. William NJ.
Gentry of this city claims to be the pos
SCISSOR of a microbe of la grippe, the first
ever captured or even heard of. The lit
tie wriggler is imprisoned on the glass
slides OF DR.. Gentry's big,microscope, and
today was carefully inspected by many a
scientific eye.
Ever since the grip made its appearance
a year ago, the doctor said today, he mas
been on still hunt for the microbe, if
any existed. He found that thirty-iour
years ago and again sixteen years ago
la grippe was epidemic among human
beings, and seven years ago it attack
ed horses, causing the still remembered
"epizoOtlc." Owing to the recurrence OF
the disease DR.. Gentry was inclined to be-
lieve that the earth, at such intervals,
passed through stretch OF space impreg-
mated with what astronomers call "star
dust" Four days ago it occurred to him
that he might trap some of the dust, or
microbe, or whatever it was. Carefully
polishing a blank slide, he took it out
doors and passed it through the air.
Placing the slide under his microscope,
which magnifes Ito times, he counted
seven heretofore unidentified microbes in
the field 81 the instrument.
The creatures were very lively, and
seemed TO float or swim upward toward
the glass. Before the doctor could secure
the microbes they had disappeared. The
next day, with the Rev. Dr. Blggs of the
Rogers Park methodist church, DIR. Gen
try tried again and found more. Again
they escaped, but by using micro-glasses
he secured the next lot ami had them
mounted for the microscope. His next
step was TO procure some mucus from q
patent afflicted with la grippe. A neigh.
Dor, Mr.. W. }. Jefferson, furnished it, and
10 the delight OF DR.. Gentry the same
sort of microbes were found in the mucus
that had been caught in the air-iGenti-
cal in every respect.
The grip mic ones, as described by DR.
Gentry, are generally of a round form
varying occasionally in outline, but al
WAYS distinctly marked by a series OF Sc.
we're lines surrounding them. Radiating
from these lines are other lines, which, il
the magnitied image, resemble fine, irregu
lar hairs. DIR. Geniry's entire time today
was occupied in exhibiting the microbes
to brother physicians aud in beginning g
technical account of the discovery for the
benefit OF the profession.

Peculiar Circumstances That Led to n
Murder in Tennessee.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, March 2S.-News
was brought to this city last night by a
travelling salesman OF killing in Williams
county. From the information he gives It
appears that Hebrew peddler stopped at
O farm house on an isolated road and,
without the knowledge or consent of the
woman who was at the moment the sole
occupant, entered the room where she
was at work with her back TO the door.
The itinerant colporteur dropped his pack
on the floor and tho noise of the fall
startled the woman, who looked around
suddenly and seeing a strange man stand
ing just behind her was frightened into a
fainting fit.
The peddler stopped to pick her M, and
at that moment the farmer appeared on
the scene. Seeing his insensible wife in
the arms OF stranger, he seized a billet
of wood and Drained the intruder at one
blow. The wife, when she regained her
consciousness, was greatly shocked at the
tragedy, and stated that she did not think
that the dead man intended her any
harm, but was only trying to place her on
the bed.

least four murders that have heretofore
remained a mystery.
One of these was the shooting from
ambush of Alex Handlin, thirty miles
west OF Purcell. 1. T., on IN v 8, 1890, and
for which two men named Samuel and
Ramev were arrested. but subs ,quently re-

shot and the station robbed. Evidence is
now accommodating that will prove that
Hudgins committed all of these murders,

old.

RACINE, Wis, March 25.-Jackson l.
Case, son of j. l. Case and candidate for
mayor, had sensational encounter with
ex-Mayor Secor on Main-st last night
Case asserted that he had traced the au-
thorship of certain scandalous stories af-
fcting his character to Secor. Meeting
him on Main-st. he stepped in front of
Secor and charged him with havingstarted
the stories This the ex-mayor denied.
The charge was repeated and again de-
MED angrily. By this time a large crowd
had gathered, which did not serve to cool
the temper OF the two men. Finally the
wordy war was brought to an abrupt con-
ciusion by Case striking Secor heavy
blow in the chest, staggering him back
into the crowd. As soon as Secor could
gather himself he started on run down
the street with Case in hot pursuit. The
latter being younger and more active soon
caught the ex-mayor and added one or
two more blows to that already given.
SecOr, however, managed to shake off his
antagonist and escape.

PITTsBURG, March 2s.-Something Of

charge that the desperate who murdered
Detective GiIkinson last Saturday was the
real murderer of Farmer Umberger, for
which crime David and Joseph Nicely are

John Myers, a reputable citizen Of
Homestead, says Fitzsimmons was recog-
nized as one of the two pedders who were
seen in the neighborhood of the Umberger
homestead the night of the murder and
robbery and who are believed to have
been the murders of the Old farmer. The
Nicelys were convicted on purely circum-

Institute yesterday morning that wa:
attended by ell the teachers in the
city.
Rev. A. Machette delivered a most
excellent address on the two revela-
tions-Nature and the Bible. Al

been short the effort was q splendid
one and heartily appreciated by those
present.
This was followed by a fine selection
on the piano by Miss Blanche Bron-
