The effect of volcanic phenomena on
the lower animals has often been the
subject of discussion. The records of
most great earthquakes refer to the con-
sternation of dogs, horses, cattle and
other domestic animals. Fish and other
aquatic creatures are also much dis
turbed at such times. In the London
earthquake of 1749 thousands of fish in
the canal showed evident signs of con
fusion and fright. During the Toxic
earthquake of 1880 cats inside of houses
ran about trying to escape; foxes barked
and horses tried to tear down the stable
which confined them. There can there
fore, be no doubt that animals know
that something unusual and terrifying
is taking place.
More interesting than these are the
observations showing that nearly all
classes of animals are agitated just be-
fore an earthquake takes place. Horses
and ponies have been known to prance
around in their stalls in an uneasy man
ner, pheasants to scream and frogs to
cease croaking suddenly just before a
shock, as if aware of its coming. The
japanese say that moles show their fear
at such times by leaving their burrows
before the shock takes place, the pres
ence of four or five of the little creatures
on the surface in a garden being suffi-
clent to cause a panic.-St. Louis Re

SYRACUSE, n. Y, June As the
freight train going to the large limestone
quarries, near Brighton Corners. last
night. approached an electric light that
hung over a deep cut a dark, moving
mass, extending about sixty feet along
the track. was observed. The engineer
hesltated a moment, but not being of an
investigating turn of mind determined to
pillow through the obstruction. As the
wheels rolled over the mass a loud, crack
ling sound, like the successive explosion
OF toy torpedoes. came from beneath the
engine. The progress of the engine be-
came slower. and soon the driving wheels
began to slp upon the rails and the train
came to a stop. An examination re-
vealed the presence of swarms of peculiar
insect, which bore a resemblance TO the
electric light bug, so well known in these
parts, though the multitudinous possessors
of the track were somewhat larger, the
outer shell of the back being about the
size and shape OF half a Shanghai egg-
shell. Ii was this turtle-like armor that
gave forth the cracking sound. The shell
is black and partakes of the nature of
stone. An examination of the quarry
showed small holes bored IN the sides,
which were apparently the habitation Of
some insect, and the kind found upon the
track are believed to be a species of lith-
odOme or rock boring mollusk Those
who claim to know see in these the
shadow of a coming hot summer and the
precursor of the arrival of the dreaded
electric bug. To secure the shipment of
the stone it was necessary to let the
loaded train from the quarry above come
down the track with a momentum suf
ficient to plow n thoroughfare.

THEY FOUGHT FOR LOVE
Bloody Battle for the Hand Of
a Pennsylvania Girl.
John Paul Knocked Out, But
Captures the Prize.
George Burnham's Brutal Tor
ture of His Young Wife.

HAZELToN, Pa, June 4.-For months
past Julia Stromski, a good looking Slav
girl o fLopty, has been courted by John
Paul and Mike Drusko. Bad blood be-
tween the men has grown out of the
rivalry, and Drusko. who is much larger
and heavier than Paul. threatened to kill
him if he ever caught him with Julia.
Last night both accidentally met at the
girls home and Drusko made an attack
upon Paul. The girls father separated
them and said that if Paul loved his
daughter he should fight for her 10 the
ring, the victor to take her. Paul agreed
to this and they adjourned to a small plot
of green near the dwelling. A dispute
arose as to who should be the referee
Paul wanted the girl to act in that
capacity, but she objected. Her father
was finally chosen. No rules of any kind
were observed and in a short time,
Drusko, cheered on by the girl, had his
little but plucky antagonist almost
Knocked out. The mother OF the girl
strongly favored Paul and by the time he
was knocked down fastened to aid him to
regain his feet. The referee begged him
" tul"N up Tue spOnRe AS DruskO would
kill him, but he would not. saving he
would rather die than live without } ulla.
Drusko determined to knock him out and
went at him savagely, knocking him down
and beating him viciously in the face.
This brutal act seemed to disgust the
fair prize and she threw herself across the
fallen man body. crying out that Drusko
was a brute aud that she would never wed
him. This enraged Drusko and be swore
he would kill both, but her father and
mother set upon him with stones and
chased him for his life. Just as soon as
Paul is presentable he will marry the
woman for whom he fought.

ST. PAUL, June 4.-Since the publ
cation of his interview of a few days ago
regarding Cahensly's Lucerne memorial,
Archbishop Ireland has had many tele-
grams and letters of Endorsement of his
views. Today, in an interview with an
Associated Press CORRESPONDENT, he talked
further on the subject. He SAYS as the
details OF the plot are unfolded the IN
diguatiOn OF Americans, Catholic or
Protestant. cannot but grow in intensity.
The whole proceedings are an insult to
American n~ationalism aud reveal the TACT
that certain Europeans imagine America
to be a sort of African Congo, without
autonomy of its own and incapable of lite
without the constant application of
European galvanic batteries. The
Catholics are mortified that their religion
Is made the occasion and pretense Of this
lnsolent foreign in~termeddling.
IL Is strange news, indeed, for American
ears to hear that the Australian and Prus-
sian ambassadors in Rome have been 10
structed by their home governments to
bring to bear upon the vatican their in
fuence in aid OF Herr Cahensley's plan of
campaign. The contagion spreads to the
extent that 1t compels a smile of amuse-
ment in the midst of our anger. We find
Monsieur MERCER, minister of providence
of Quebec, a colony of England, running
to the vatican and praying III the name of
his little constituency that a Canadian
bishop lie named for the see of Ogdens-
burg in the state OF New York.
We can easily picture the further ex
tension of this foreign ambition to rule
Catholic affairs IN America, and in a few
years the ecclesiastical map of the country
would show the fingerings of every for
eign principality whose emigrants choose
to touch our shores. This attack of for
eiRnism upon the church IN America, how
ever, is killed from its own audacity. So
long as it worked stealthily, by secret EN-
bassies. and back door entrances. it was
and was doing harm. Ii has
now entered into open combat. and the
outcome will be most favorable to the
church and country.
| have seen the official denial of a
representative of the Deutsch-
scher Priester Verein. or German Clerical
society of America, disclaimiug all knowl-
edgo of the Cahensley memorial What
he will not deny is that the Cahensley
memorial is nearly word for word the
document which the German priests OF
st. Louis, founders of the v%erein, sent to
Rome In 1886, nor will he deny that a few
days ago the Amerikd. a paper which is
ted on verein food. declared openly that
it will ceaselesslv work for Cahensley's
programme. Whatever OF the latter. the
spirit of the CahensleY movement thrives
in the halls of the v%erein, and the verein
is an exotic to which American air is most

Report OF the Experts.

PHILADELPHIA. June 4.-The report
Of the expert accountants who have been
investigating the accounts of ex City
Treasurer Bardsley was transmitted to the
city council this afternoon by Mayor
Stuart. The report Is a voluminous one
and gives in detail Bardsley's accounts
with various banks. The report shows
that on the 2lst OF May, according to the
books of the city treasurer's office, there
was on hand S32, 81. 6OS belonging to the
city. OF this amount the books of the
1ity treasury show there was on deposit iu
the Keystone bank 81, 437, 900. This sum
is claimed by Receiver Hardly and Bank
Examiner Drew to be wrong, aud that the
banks books show the actual deposit TO
have been $639, 1863. Bardsley has been
carrying as cash in the city treasury $lg,-
043 OF worthless checks drawn on the
Keystone bank. In some way. not yet
definitely known, he raised the amount IN
cash and substituted it Tor the checks.
He then went to Bank Examiner Drew
and asked that this amount be charged to
his account as city treasurer in the Key
stone bank and credited to his personal
account. This Drew refused to do. The
only specific evidence of any criminal act
of Bardsley with city money is the mis-
approximation of $39, $40, for which he
was indicted. The examination is still
going on,

SAN F~RAsCIsCo. June John l..
Sullivan went on another tear yesterday
and wound 40 his spree by a speech at
the Bush street theater. which was de
clared by those who heard it to be more
amusing than his acting. Sullivan started
IN early in the morning to drink liquor in
a cheap variety theater. He kept at 1t
for several hours and marked his debauch
by smashing his gold watch and losing
his diamond ring. Then he adjourned to
the Grand hotel bar and took possession
OF the place. The entrance of the big
negro porter seemed to remind Sullivan
OF Peter Jackson, and seizinR the mot
iensiye darkey he began to demonstrate
how he could knock Peter out. His
friends had hard work to get him way
and then it looked shaky for the evening
performance. a barber shampOoed John
all the afternoon, aud when evening ca me
he was sober enough to walk and talk.

a speech. He said: Ladies and gen

The audience howled its appreciation,

His Dead Mnte,s Double.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, June Airs.
Charles CobIn lett Waukesha, Wis, a
few days ago for New Orleans, accom-
panyIug the remains of her husband to
his old home. The dead man was but 80
years of age, and yet his history is
stranger than fiction, for the events
crowded into his short lite would seem to
come only to an old man. Born in an OBJ
scure Mississippi town, he married a
wealthy girl when he was only Is years of
age. She died three wears later, leaving
him a son and her fortune, amounting to
nearly $500, 900. He grieved over his
girl wite's death until he became a con
sumptive, when he sold his estates and
with his infant son went to California.
The boy died, and the Young father, hav-
ing nothing to live for, became reckless
and s%quandered his wealth IN gambling in
San Diego. When his fortune was gone
he shot a barkeeper in the hotel there
and fed TO Colorado, where he saw a
Young woman, Maggie Ryling, who was
the image of his dead wife. She was an
actress. and in his hours of in
fatuatiOn CobIn wrote her a note
btIluk hcI u hlLuhSlls anu OF neT
resemblance to his former wife. and ask
ing her to marry him. She replied tersely,
saying that he had sq~uandered one fortune,
and that when lie made another and
retrieved his past follies to come to her
then and he would receive another and
more favorable answer. Goblin, on read
ing his letter, pressed her for an inter.
view, which was granted. What passed
between the two will never be known, yet
she swore to wait for the Invalid to re-
cover his fortune and then to marry him.
They parted seven years ago at Denver,
and until last December Goblin has been
pursuing his lost fortune. when he wrote
her that she must come to him at New
Orleans, as he was dying. She went
promptly to his bedside. and finally
promised to marry him when he got well.
There he lay until April, when they
thought him diving, and to make his last
hours happy, she married him. A burial
lot was bought and the vault built, but
Goblin did not die. He rallied. and the
i've came to Waukesha to spend the
summer. There a relapse set in, and he
died Friday. His wife, according to his
wishes, will bury him in New Orleaus.
