HE THREW THE BOMB.
Henry l.. Norcross, Noted Boston Brok-
er Was the Man.

Henry l.. Norcross, a Noted Boston BroI-
Was the Man.
A Boston dispatch of the 18th SAYS:
1.-The Globe says that Henry L. Nor
cross, of Sargent Avenue, Somerville,
a noted broker doing business at u
Pearl Street, Boston, has not been seen
at his office since the middle of last
week, and the other occupants Of
his Somerville residence say
that he was killed in railroad accident
about that time. New York detectives
were IN town to-day trying to identity
the missing man with the mysterious
bomb-thrower in Russell Sage's office
last Friday. The detectives brought
with them trousers button and portions
of the trousers worn by the bomb throw
er, as we'll as piece of his coat and por-
tons Of his underclothing. According
to the Globe these were taken to the
Norcross residence this afternoon and
the underclOthing positively identified
by Mrs. Norcross as belonging to her
husband. On the trousers OF the dead
man were buttons bearing the print
Brooks, Tailor, Boston," The pieces
of clothing were taken to Mr.. Brooks
store this afternoon. There it was posi-
lively stated that the firm had made for
Henry l.. NOrcrOss q coat of the cloth
presented and also a pair of trousers Of
the same cloth as the other piece fur
nished by the detectives. The button
was also identified as a peculiar one
used by this tailoring house.
"Henry l.. Norcross, who certainly
has not been seen at his place of bust
ness, and has not been home in Somer-
vile since before the day a week ago
on which the life of Russell Sage was
Further investigation tonight leaves
scarcely any room for doubt that the
bomb-thrower and Henry l.. Norcross
are identical. His father, who was seen
tonight, believes that such is the fact.
The Identification of the clothing
has been made complete by the dis
covery that the number upon the por-
ton of the trousers worn by the bomb
thrower and brought here from New
York to-day, corresponds exactly with
the number against the name Of Nor
cross on the books of Brooks. the Wash
ington Street tailor, who made suit
Of clothes for Norcross last October.
A photograph of the dead bomb-throw-
er's head has been compared with
likeness of Norcross taken about six
months ago, and the resemblance is
most striking. Mr.. Norcross, ST., says
that his son left home on the day pre-
ceding the New York affair, stating that
he was going upon business trip, first
to Providence, thence to Hartford, New
Haven, Worcester and Fitchburg. Since
then he has not been seen by the mem
bers of his family"

IRISH FACTIONS FIGHT.
Michael Davitt Receives q Blow in tho
Head from Stoy g.


DUBLIN, Dec. 14.-Michael Davitt, the
famous Irish leader, was seriously
wounded during riot in Waterford
City yesteday. Mr.. Davitt and William
O'Brien had gone to Waterford to sup
port the candidature of Mr.. Keane, the
nominee OF the McCarthyites, for the
seat in Parliament made vacant by the
death of Richard Power. The rival
candidates and the various contingents,
armed with formidable blackthorn shil-
lalahs, marched through the streets to
music of brass bands. The factions met
and began one of the fercest conflicts
that has characterized prevailing hos
tilities. In the midst Of the ARRAY MIR.
Davitt received a nasty cut on the fore
head, from which the blood flowed free
ly. Mr.. Tanner and others were in
iured by stones. At last the police
formed Gordon and divided the oppos-
ing mob, and the Davitt crowd reached
the club rooms.
Despite the injuries received by Mr..
Davitt, that gentleman IS still in the po-
litical field, and it has been determined
by the McCarthyite leaders that Mr.
Keane, the nominee of the Mccarthy
ties for the seat for Waterford in the
House of Commons made vacant by the
Qeatn OF RlcnarQ rover, SnOulQ De
withdrawn from the contest, and that
Mr.. Davitt himself should stand as the
McCarthyite candidate. Mr.. Davitt and
William O'Brien had gone to Waterford
to support Mr.. Keane's candldature
when attacked by the supporters of
John Redmond, the Parnell candidate.
This incident seems to have convinced
the McCarthyites that it would be good
politics to go into the Waterford fight
with Mr.. Davitt as their standard bear
er, and, though he had previously re-
fused to accept the nomination, the at
tack upon him yesterday evidently in
duced him to change his mind.
A conference was held with Mr..
Keane, and shortly afterward he an
nounced his withdrawal fran the con-
test. He gave "press of business" as
his reason for declining to further con-
test the seat. A letter written by Will
lam O'Brien, which is published this
morning, states that Mr.. Keane was
only persuaded to stand in the event of
Mr.. Davitt refusing to do so.
The newspapers supporting the Nc
Carthyite faction are rejoicing at the fact
that Mr.. Davitt has finally concluded to
make fight for the seat himself. They
Eelieve that he is a very strong canGi-
Gate, and that the prospect for victory
is greatly enhanced by his action in TAX
ing the fed in person against Mr.. Red

BALMACEDA WAS BETRAYED.
The Story of the Death of the CHILEAN Die
tator Told by an American.

Ihe story OF the Death of the Gillian Die
tator Told by an American.
PORT TOWNSEND, Wash, Dec III.
P. Shanks, an American engineer, who
for the past two years has resided in
Chill, and who arrived here a few DAYS
ago, tells the story of how Balmaceda
was betrayed. He says Balmaceda
was betrayed by the Argentine
minister, Senior Uribirru. Balma-
ceda sent his minister to request
Senior Uribirru to shelter him against the
attack of insurgents. When he arrived
at the legation he was met by the senior,
and on entering he met, face to face,
the wife of his most bitter enemy, Mrs.
Carlos Walker Martinez, who had taken
refuge in the same legation, fearing an
attempt on her life on the part
of the Balmacedans. The lady was
compelled to take a solemn oath
not to divulge the whereabouts of Balma-
ceda, but entered into intrigue with
the Argentine minister to betray Bal
maceda Mont Immediately took
steps to induce the Dictator to surrend-
er, promising fair trial Balmaceda
agreed to surrender after the holidays.
From the day Balmaceda received the
first word from Montt, he commenced
preparing for death and began writing
instructions, disposing all his personal
affairs, and when the time arrived for
him to surrender he killed himself.

LONDON, Dec. 11.-Justin Mccarthy.
as sole surviving trustee of the Paris
fund, Mr.. Parnell and Mr.. Biggar being
the two deceased trustees, has been
served with writ at the suit of
Messrs. Timothy Harrington, John Red
mond, Clancy, O'Connor, Kenny and
Richard Lalor, all of whom are mem
bers of the Parnellite section of the
Irish parliamentary party, who claim
that the funds are subject to a trust in
favor of themselves and other members
of the National League. They request
the removal of Mccarthy from the
trusteeship and pray for the appoint
ment of a proper trustee. Mrs. Parnell
is included in writ as co-defendant as
administrators of her husbands estate.
Mr.. Mccarthy, when spoken to in re-
gard to the action brought against him,
said that no proceedings in an
English court could affect the control of
the funds. He stated that his own suit
against Mr.. Munroe, the Paris banker
in whose custody the funds were placed
by the trustees, to recover the money
will be reached by Easter. Mr.. McCar-
thy declared that he did not entertain
the slightest doubt as to the success Of

GIRLS MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Lena Dietrich Found Dead in Bed at Iron
wood.

Lena Dietrich Found Dead in Bed at Iron
IRoNwooD, Mich, Dec. 14.-Lena
Dietrich, q years old, daughter of
John Dietrich, of this city, died early
this morning under peculiar cir
cumstances. She retired at 9
o'clock last night, seemingly in the
best of health. At 8 O'clock to-
day the girl who slept upstairs,
had not made her appearance, and her
sister, who went to arouse her, found
her dead in bed. Doctors were sum-
moned, who expressed the opinion that
the girl had been dead about two hours.
Members of the family state
that the girl was subject to
epileptic fits, and that she took small
dose of chloroform before retiring, to
relieve her toothache. They are of
the opinion that the chloroform
brought on fits, which latter caused
her death. There are many suspi-
cious circumstances connected with the
the case. An inquest will be held this
afternoon, when startling developments
are looked for. The DIETRICH family is
highly respected in this community,
having been residents of Ironwood Tor
three years. They came here from La

Much Valuable Shore Property Destroyed
and Many Vessels Lost.
LONDON, Dec. 10.-The gale which set
IN last night has already done an i'm
mense amount of damage, and has been
attended with a number of fatalities.
The gale shows not the least sign of
abatement; on the contrary, it seems to
grow in violence as the dav
grows older. Reports are being
received from all parts of the
country, and they all concur in
stating that the present gale is as severe
If not severer than any Of its predeces,
sors. From every direction kilograms
are pouring in describing the great
damage already wrought by the storm.
Houses have been unroofed, chimneys
blown down, outhouses demolished and
fences destroyed. A large number of
cases are reported where persons have
been very seriously injured by being
struck by falling bricks and tile In the
Channel the gale is blowing with great
fury and very nasty sea is running. tits
very certain that disaster will overtake
many vessels that have not been able
to make harbor Of refuge. The hur-
ricane has already caused the loss of
number of small coastlng vessels along
the south coast Of England. The life
boat crews at Rams Gate and Dover
have gone to the assistance Of vessels
near those places which have been fly
ing signals of distress.

PUMPING" INDIAN LANDS.
Deeds of Whites That May Cause Trou
BILE with the Flatheads.

HELENA, Mont, Dec. 14.-Trouble is
brewing in the northern part of the
Flathead reservation between some
claim-jumpe rs and several Indian fam
lilies who y ere placed on allotment
lands on Dayton Creek short
time ago. Under orders from
the authorities at Washington, Maj.
Roman, agent Of the Flatheads, located
nineteen Kottenai families on choice
land bordering on Dayton Creek,
which had been set apart for them.
Yesterday twenty-five armed mon
drove to the section and jumped the
lands, driving the Indians off. The
young bucks among the Kottenais
wanted to fight, but the old men pre-
vailed upon them to make no resist
ance. 1t has been difficult for the old men
to mold the bucks in restraint as long
as they have, and it is feared that they
will not be able to do SO much longer
Maj. Roman has been in communication
with the commissioner of Indian affairs
by wire, who telegraphed that the at
torney-general has instructed the
United States marshal at Helena to rem
der Roman any assistance necessary.
