a few miles west of this place, is dying
from wounds received at the hands of
a sou, at the mothers direction. Bitter
uuarrels were common with the family,
but as far as the public knows blows had
never been resorted to. AT the time of
the affray, at the beginning of his wife's
outburst, Whiteside, who is a musician,
took up his violin and began to play.
This so exasperated his wife that she
sprang upon him, pinioning his arms to
his side by throwing her own about him.
A seventeen-year-old son thereupon
seized an iron poker and struck his
father over the head with it. fracturing
the skull. The inhuman son then at

CINCINNATI, Nov. 23.-Some months
ago the Big l'our railroad, believing the
conductors were knocking down" too
much money, put collectors on several
divisions of the road as an experiment.
Recently spoilers" were put on the di-
visions between this city and Indianapo-
lis and this city and Cleveland. The re-
suit of their investigation is the arrest Of
a number of collectors, charged with
having taken up tickets and not punch
ing them, and then disposing of them to
"scalpers." The trainmen generally are
jubilant over the downfall of the "tin-
soldiers" as they called the collectors,
who were almost universally detested by
the crews. Most of the collectors are
young men. who know nothing what
ever of railroad matters.

telegraphed to Minister Barso de
Lucena that Fonseca must resign as a
preliminary for the arrival at friendly
understanding Fonseca was very much
offended by this message, and, although
suffering considerably with nervous
prostration, he aroused himself to give
fresh and vigorous orders for tho prose-

LOSING HIS GRIP.
Things Look Decidedly Blue
for FOnseca in Brazil
While the ReVolutlonists Are
Slowly Gaining Ground.

They Are Said TO Re Continually Re-
eeiving ReinforcementsO of Men, Money
and Munition of WAr-One of Fonseca's
Squadrons Joins the Insurgent Forces.
The Dictator Very Sick Man.
LONDON, Nov 23. There is one i'm
pOrtant item of news here in regard to
the troubles in Brazil
The Times Santiago correspondent
cables that Silveria Martins now holds
the key" to the situation in Brazil. Ac-
cording to the same correspondent, Mar
tins is "strong democrat and friendly
to Dom Pedro"
From other sources the reported re-
pulse of Fonseca's two gunboats and
torpedo boat seem to be confirmed,
though the alleged details obtainable are
conflicting to great degree.
Claims of the Insurgents.
The insurgents, it is claimed, continue
to receive reinforcements of men, money
and munitions of war; and Fonseca
squadron in the Upper Uruguay river
is said to have hauled down the flag Of
the United States Of Brazil and to have
hoisted in its place the white flag with
red ball center of the so-called Republic
of the South" This squadron is then
said to have joined the insurgent forces
and to have been received with much
enthusiasm amid the firing of guns,
much cheering and entertainments of q
festive nature
Negotiatiations between the dictator
and the revolutionists are said to have
been broken off, as the latter will not be
content with anything less than his
complete surrender.
On the other hand, the negotiations
between the insurgents and the govern
ment Of Uruguay are said to be progress
ing III manner favorable to the cause
of the junta.
FOnseca in Bad Health.
The report circulated to the effect
that Fonseca was ''likely to die at any
moment" seems to have been an exag-
geration The dictator has been very
sick man for months past. Ho is said to
be suffering from cancerous affiiction,
and 1t had been reported that the state
of his health has been one of the factors
in bringing about the present state of
affairs
1t was explained, however, In the SEN
sational dispatch referred to, that the
news circulated might mean that the
dictator was in danger of assassination.
Over ten days ago it was stated in these
dispatches that, according to advices re-
ceived here from Brazil, the dictator's
friends thought it advisable to take the
strictest precautions to insure the safety
of the marshal, and that, as not infre-
quent in South American revolutions,
the assassin might put speedy end to
the political crisis.
1t has even been added that the dicta-
tor wears night and day shirt of mail
made of the finest steel, backed by
tough leather lining. But, such reports
are always circulated il political cases of
this description.
The basis of all these sensational ru-
mors seems to be the news forwarded to
the United States in these dispatches,
that Fonseca was suffering severely from
nervous prostration. That Is a fact and
out of it seems to have grown the more
startling reports.
