CAUSED BY STAR DUST.
Dr.. Gentry of Chicago Discovers the
Microbes of La Grippe.

Dr. Gentry of Chicago Discovers the
Microbes of La Grippe.
CHICAGO, March 27.-Dr. w. G. Gen.
try, of this city, has secured in novel
way, what he thinks is undoubtedly a
microbe of la grippe. The doctor has
been studying the peculiar influenza
ago. He found that tbirty-four
years ago, and again sixteen
years ago, la grippe was epi-
demic among human beings, and that
seventeen years ago it attacked horses,
causing the we'll remembered epizootic.
DIR. Gentry was inclined to believe that
the earth at intervals passed
through stretches of space inn
pregnated with what astronomers
call "star dust" Several days ago
it occurred to him he might trap some
of the dust or microbes. Carefully pol
ishing a blank microscope slide, he
took it out doors and passed through
the air. Placing the slide un-
der his microscope he counted
seven heretofore unidentified microbes.
He had the slide mounted and then OBJ
tanning some mucos from patient af-
ficted with la grippe, found in it mi
crobes identical in every respect with
those caught in the air. The microbes,
as described by Dr.. Gentry, are
generally of round form, varying occa-
sionally in outline, but always distinctly
marked by series of lines surrounding
them. Radiating from these lines are
others which resemble fine, irregular
hairs,

MORE BLUTFING By HALL AND
FITZSINMONs.
Astoria Offers $4,000 Purse, and Both
Men Accept-Kilrain Will Meet Slavin
or Any Other Man.

PORTLAND, Ore., March 27. "A dispatch
from Astoria, Oregon, says the Astoria
Athletic club has raised a $lz .lOQ purse
b6tween Bob Fitzsimnnonsa and
E Jim Hall. Fitzsimmons's backer, who is
now in Chicago, wired his. acceptance Of
the offer. Hall, who is now in Portland,
accepted the terms today. The date of
the fight has not been decided on, but
it is to take place before August 18th.
BALTrMoRE, March N.-William Null
doom has received telegram from
Joseph Harris. Jim Halls former backer,
dated Port Townsend, instructing Null
doom to make a match for Hall with
Fitzsimmons. Fitzsimmons' challenge
money on deposit in Chicago was not
covered, Muldoon says, because Harris
understood it to be challenge to Pritch-
ard. Harris has $500 deposited in San
Francisco to bind match for Hall with
Fitzsimmons, and Muldoon says he is
ready to put up $500 here as prelimi-
nary bond to secure fight.
Kilrain, who was with Muldoon, said
of the Slavin match: II hardly under
stand why Slavin should offer $4,000 to
Sullivan in case he failed to whip him
in six rounds, and only offer to venture
$4,000 in the same number of rounds
with myself. He also makes an offer of
presents to lesser lights in the tistic
arena. If none of the others accept, /
am ready to meet Slavin or any other
man looking for fight"
Muldoon said the Slavin challenge
was meant for an advertising boom.

shield himself by attempting to throw
the blame upon the innocent head of the
defendant.
H. T. Gage, Esq, then took up the
cudgels on behalf Of the defendant, and
made characteristic address of some
thirty minutes duration, ridiculing the
"feeble efforts of the prosecution to
ensnare his client in the tolls, and
adroitly picking out every flaw in the
testimony, until it was exhibited to the
jury in threadbare condition.
The closing address was made by Dis
trict Attorney McLachlan. who in q
manly, straightforward manner re-
viewed the main points in the case, and
laid bare the many weak points in the
defense. He secuted the idea that Lau-
terio was the real culprit, and dwelt
particularly upon the defective memory
of the witness L. B. Cohn, who was q
cousin of the defendant, and had been
shown to have cashed most of the fraud
ulent warrants.
The court then read it's instructions,
which we're somewhat voluminous, to
the jury, and the case was finally en-
trusted to that body at :15 o'clock.
The jury not having agreed by late
hour last evening, were locked up for the
night.

General GrOsvenor Hauls a Witness Over
the Goals.
WASHINGTON, March 27.-The trial of
Charles 7. Kincaid, for the murder of
ex-Congressman Taulbee, was resumed
today. After putting in some cumula-
tive evidence, the prosecution rested its
case, and General Grosvenor made the
opening address for the defense. He
said the testimony to be presented
would show that Kincaid had acted in
self-defense.
Grosvenor recalled Sam Donaldson
and asked him if, about two weeks be-
fore the shooting, he did not remember
standing on the floor of the house with
Taulbee and newspaper correspondent
named Frank Morgan, and looking up
to the press gallery, remarking to Taul-
bee: "You ought to 60 up there and
cut that damned rascal's CUTS out" or
words of that character. Donaldson
denied the utterance.
Grosvenor asked Donaldson further if
he was not indicted at the close OF his
term as clerk of Dawson county, Tennes-
see, court for the embezzlement OF
defaulter to the state treasury to
the extent of $1,000, and whether he was
not short in his accounts as doorkeeper
of the house to the extent of $500. OBJ
jections were made and sustained to
these questions.
Several physicians testified to Kin
caid's feeble and nervous condition at
the time of the shooting.

panic, all were gotten out safely.
The flames spread rapidly, and the
court house, including the municipal
council chamber and city and county
Offices, were totally destroyed. Some OF
the archives were saved, but many doc
uments, some of them dating back for
centuries, were destroyed. When the

THE JURY LOCKED UP.
NO VERDICT LAST NIGHT IN THE
EDELMAN CASE.
The Proceedings Yesterday-Po Points Made
in the Arguments-The Jury Locke
UP for the Night.

When the trial OF the Edelman case
was resumed before Judge Smith and
Jury yesterday morning, in department
one of the superior court, the defense
called a number Of witnesses for the
purpose of showing that prior to his in
dictment, the DEFENDANTS reputation
for honesty and integrity was irreproach-
able. Among other prominent citizens
who were examined and testified that
Edelman's reputation was good in that
respect were General John Mansfield,
HI. w. Hellman, DR.. L. w. French, w.
H. Workman, H. X. s. O'Melveny, w.
A. Cheney, Gen. E. Bouton, G. F.
Heinzeman, @. H. Dunsmoor, W.. H.
Crane and J. R. Toberman.
followed,by HI. H. Appel, Esq, an attor-
ney at law, who testified that Frank
Lauterio had made the remark in his
presence "that it would be. good idea
if he (Lauterio) and Montana were to
stand in together and 'cinch' Edel-
man."
! Detective G. HI. Jennings swore that
one evening in 1888 he saw Deputy
County Auditor Frank Lauterio, who
apparently believed he was alone in the
court room of department one, examin-
ing the jury book. The witness was at
that time officiating as bailiff of that
court, and entered the room unexpect-
ediy.
The defendant, Henry Edelman, then
took the. stand in his own behalf,
and entered general denial of
all the charges preferred against
him, and denied all knowledge of
the fraudulent warrant for $54, drawn
in favor of F. A. Bliss, for services
rendered as juror in department one
during the month of January, 18S9,with
presenting which he was specifically
charged. The defendant was not cross
examined at any great length, as moth
ing could be extracted from him, and at
the close of his testimony, the defense
rested it's case.
The prosecution then recalled Frank
Lauterio in rebuttal, and on being ques.
toned, he denied having tampered with
the jury list.
This closed the case, as far as the
evidence was concerned, and recess
was ordered until 1 O'Clock p. m.
On reconvening at that hour, Assist
ant District Attorney McComas opened
the argument in vigorous address OF
half an hours duration, in which he in
formed the jury that the evidence for
the prosecution was conclusive and pos
tive as to the guilt Of the defendant.
He was followed by Hon. 8. M.White,
who for three-quarters of an hour tore
the evidence for the prosecution into
shreds in the most approved legal style.
He referred to the witness Frank Lau-
terio as an "unconvicted felon," and
scored him numerically for trying tc

SAN FRANcIsco, March 27.--The dis

noon, in tow of the tug Vigilant. The
captain reports that gale struck the
Weatherwax on the night Of the 22nd.

suddenness and severity as to strip the
vessel of nearly everything but her
mainsail. Both jibs whistled away, and
so did the foresail and spanker. This
left only the mainsail and three topsails
available, but the navigators managed
to work her into Santa Barbara. Cap

The tug left here at 5 80 p. m. Tuesday,

NORFOLK, Va. March q The Norwegian
bark Dictator, from Pensacola, Fla, for
England, with lumber, and carrying a
crew of fifteen and the captains young
wife and three-year-old boy, came
ashore in o strong easterly gale this
morning, two miles north of the Vir-
ginia Beach hotel. The weather was SO
thick that the vessel was not seen until
. O'Clock, and then she was in the
breakers broadside on, a quarter of a
mile from shore Crews from the two
life-saving stations were promptly on
hand, but could not use boats because OF
the tremendous surf. They tried re-
peatedly to fire life line over the ship,
but the guns could not deliver the line
80 far. The ship finally succeeded in
getting line ashore tied to barrel
which the surf carried in. A breeches
buoy was quickly rugged and sent out,
but unfortunately the sailors seemed
ignorant of its use, and work was de-
layed until the life-savers wrote instruc-
tions and sent them to the ship in a
bottle over the life line. The crew then
proceeded to carry out the directions.
The first man was delivered ashore in
eight minutes, and seven others rescued
before sunset, four coming in life-boat
which was capsized in the surf. They
were rescued with great difficulty, half
dead. The beach was lined with people
from the country houses and hotels, and
to the spectators the anxiety and sus-
pense was awful.
At nightfall there were still nine per-
sons on board, including the captain, his
wife and little child. The captain urged
his wife all day to take the buoy and
come ashore, but she steadfastly refused
to leave her husband and child, as only
one could be brought at time.
Soon after dark, the bark went to
pieces in a tremendous sea, and the
wife and six sailors were lost.
Just before the ship broke up, the
