The Florida Murder Mystery.

NEW YORK, Dec. 14-Coroner Nessemsr n re-
ported as having announced that there are no
filings in the teeth OF the dead dyuamiter,
whose head is at the morgue. Inspector Byrnes
hesitaies 10 acknowledge the Boston iden:if-
cation of the dead crank, and i: is believed the
officers are disgrunsled and jealous of the re-
poriers, who outstripped the officials and
identified the head. The Boston dentist
who attended the teeth of Norcross, states they
were filed. This was the situation today. A
dispatch 10 the Associated Press from Boston
tonight states that Edward Coggins. who had
been Norcross dentist for ten years, says: u
have record on my books of nine filings in
serted for Soreross, six in the upper and three
in the lower jaw" An examination OF the
bomb-throwers head, confined TO tie teeth and
jaws, contrecicts MESSENGERS alleged statement,
and agrees with the showing from tie books of
the Boston dentist
According TO the statement of one of Norcross
intimate Boston friends, his brain had been af-
fected by the excessive and regular use OF cam
phor, alum and sulphur, which he asserted
had great effect in keeping man In excellent
health. He kept camphor in q small bottle
which was frequently taken from his pocket
He would remove the cork and with his finger
transfer caInphor TO his tongue, repeating the
process several times, saying il was an efica-
cious preventative OF disease.
The father and mother OF Henry L. Norcross,
OF Boston, arrived here late tonight, and will
visit the morgue tomorrow.
At l o'clock this TUESDAY, morning Mr.. and
Mrs. Norcross went TO the morgue and posi-
tiveiy identified the head as that OF their miss
ing son. The old lady was very much affected
and hysterical. They say there is no doubt as
to the identity, the filing in the teeth and
other points convincing them.

EDWARD NJ. FIELD ARRESTED.
The Insane Dodge Fails to Save Him
From Justice.

NEW YORK, Dec. l4.-Edward II. Field, son
OF Cyrus w. Field and partner il the bankrupt
firm of Field, Lindley, Weichers & Co., was ar
rested tonight by detectives on an Indictment
charging him with grand larceny in the first
degree. He was locked up at police head
quarters.
Field was taken at the private insane asylum
in which he has been confined since the col
lapse OF the firm. From orders given by the
district attorney, il would seem that he does no:

Field is SO insane 10 be irresponsible for his

The Trouble with Chile.

wAsHIsGTos CITY, Dec. 1.-THE Chilean i'm
hrogio bears an ugly look and is giving the ad-
ministra,ion more uneasiness than the presi-
dent or his advisers win be likely to admit.
The country has been lulled into fancies OF
peace by the assurances OF Minister Montt that
Chile did not want war and that justice
would he done in the examination into the
Baltimore affair, and therefore was not pre-
pared for the dispatch showing that the Chill
cans were preparing TO work themselves up
into another paToXysm OF frenzy which
would give them the required i'm
petGs 10 do something desperate. 1t
is evident that they are bent on returning an
other impudent answer to the claims of the
United states, and that that answer viii come
in a few days unless Minister Mont, who is a
cool-headed man, and appreciates fully the
power OF this country, both in peace and
war, succeeds II turning aside the torrent of
bOTlbast his coUntrymen are evidently ready 10
LEI loose. There is no doubt Of the truthfulness
OF the report that on saturday Secretary Blaine
received a dispatch from Consul MeCreery
stating that the ugly feeling against the
Americans was again cropping out
in Chile aud that trouble OF
serious nature might occur. About the same
time there came long eablegram from Minis
ter Egan, which was hastily deciphered and at
once placed in the hands of the president.
This was TO the effect that the finding of the
court OF inquiry into the bloody Baltimore
ma sacre would probably oppose the
claims of the United States, and might probably
be made the basis OF saucy and unsatisfactory
note to Secretary Blaine. The minister thought
the government should be advised OF this con-
dition OF things in advance. Consul McCreery
has special means of knowing what is Transporting
in Chilean government circles, because he is
probably the only American in the country who
can go where he pleases and when he pleases.
He has lived so long in Chile as to be almost
considered a Chilean, and his domestic rela-
tons with the people where he lives. as every
one knows, are extremely close.
