Natural History of the Criminal.

Natufal AlsLOry OF bne Crlm1naIs
Of late years there has sprung up a
new science, which seeks to investigate
the natural history of the criminal. 1t
regards the criminal as variety of the
human species which has degenerated
physically and morally. The most emf
nent living authority on this subject
thus describes the two great criminal
classes: "The murderer" he says, "has
a cold, concentrated look; the nose is
often aquiline or hooked, always large;
the ears are long; the jaws powerful;
the cheek bones widely separated; the
hair is crisp and abundant; the canine
teeth we'll developed and the lips thin;
often the eye appears bloodshot, and
nervous contraction on one side of the
face uncovers the canine teeth, producing
a sardonic effect"
The thief, he asserts, has less brain ca
pacity than the assassin; he has remark
able mobility of countenance; the eye is
small and restless; the eyebrows thick;
the nose fat and the forehead low and
retreating. Another writer on the same
topic declares that one visiting prison
can, by the aid of these outline descrip-
tions, distinguish those condemned for
murder from those convicted of theft

SACRAMENTO, August 3I.-The worst
accident that has yethappened on arail-
road in the vicinity of this city occurred
this afternoon seven miles west of here,
on the California Pacific road. The train
was a combined mail and express. There
were about 130 persons on board, includ-
ing the trainmen. The train was going
at an average rate of speed, when it en-
countered warped rail, caused by ex-
cessive heat. The locomotive left the
track and went humping along over a
trestle. Engineer Beldin opened the
throttle of the engine and pulled loose
from the mail and express car; this and
the baggage car went over the side OF the
trestle and landed bottom side up.
SMASHED INTO sPLINTERs.
The parlor Car next went over, end
first, the rear portion remaining on the
trestle. The other coaches, although
they left the track, remained on the
ties, as did the locomotive. Those who
were not injured, scramled out to assist
recovering from the wreck the less fol-
tunate ones, making them as comforta-
BILE as possible until relief train ar
rived.
Mail Agent M. L. Quimby, of San
Francisco, was found terribly mangled
and dead. His skull was fractured. No
other person was killed, but several in
the parlor and smoking cars were more
or less injured.

A German Officers Valuable Services
Rioting at Valparaiso.
New YORK, August 31.-The World
prints as Valparaiso special, the state
ment that the insurgents owe their sue
cess in great measure to the skill and
experience of Colonel Kioder, who was
brought from Germany by the Chilean
government as instructor in modern
warfare, but who quarrelled with the
Balmacedans and gave his services to the
opposition.
The fighting was not only fierce,
but fendish. The bodies OF
the Balmacedan generals, Barbosa
and Alzerreca, who fell in the hottest
part of the engagement, were frightfully
mutilated.
At sundown riotous mob of laborers
united with the rabble of the deserters
from the government and burned and
looted many buildings on the outskirts
of the city belonging to Balmacedas g par
tisans. Fourteen fles ragged all night,
but are now under control. Two mill
ions of dollars worth of property was de-
stroyed. The city rang all last night
with rifle reports, and this morning the
bodies of 200 rioters and pillagers Uttered
the streets.

CoNsTANTINoPLE, August 3l.-The Sui
tan has yielded to all of Russia's de-
mands respecting the Dardanelles, which
henceforth will be opened to Russian
vessels when closed to others. The Sui
tan abjectly apologized for the recent
detention of a Russian vessel, and dis
missed the officers responsible therefor,
and promised indemnity.
GRAVE PIECE OF NEWS
LONDON, August 3l.-The St. James
Gazette, this evening, holds that the
submission of the porte to Russia's de-
mands, has established a precedent
which permits Russian warships to use
the passage of the Dardanelles, as they
please, while warships of other nations
must not enter those straits. Thi 9 news
is, therefore, according to the pap er, by
far the gravest published for some time.
WILL THE POWERS PERMIT IT?
The Standard suggests that the Sui
tan's action in regard to Russia and the
Dardanelles may be due to pique and
irritation at England's refusal to reopen
the Egyptian negotiations. 1t saws:
English ambassador has not been re-
ceived at Yildiz Kiosk. 1t is for the
powers to consider what course to adopt
to enforce the observance of the exis ting
treaties. Clearly the straits must be
closed to all nations or open to all ma
tions. England cannot alone champion
the rights of the powers"
THE GERMANS ARE INCREDULoUs.
BERLIN, August 31.-The press here is
incredulous regarding yesterdays report
of the Turkish sultan's submission to
Russia's demands respecting the recent

of steamers at the Dardanelles. The

sultan's part would justify the removal
of Turkey from among the independent
states of Europe.
ENGLAND MUST ACT.

initiative in the Dardanelles matter falls
upon England, saying sit would be an

Chile, but that he begged to be excused
from telling what was going an in Wash

Senior Montt expects the junta, which
has left lquique for Santiago, to reach

distance, he says, is between 500 and
900 miles.
