BALMACEDA'S END.
Chili'e EXPIRES don't Commits Sui
eide in Santiago
by Sending Bullet Through His Brain
aable to Escape From His Enemies
He Chose suicide Rather Than
Death From Their
Hands.

The New York Herald's Valparaiso
cablegram states that Ex-President
Balmaceda, of Chilli, shot himself
through the temple in his room at the
Argentine Legation, in Santiago, Sat
urday morning. The story became
known in Valparaiso in the afternoon,
and created the greatest excitement Sat
urday evening the city was brilliantly
illuminated, and on every hand was
heard the sound of rejoicing.
1t now seems that the story
that Dalmaceda escaped from
Valparaiso in the United States steam
ship San Francisco was erroneous. In
stead, he LETT Santiago on August 90 in
hope of escaping from the country, but,
finding every avenue closed, returned
to the city September ., and went di-
rectly to the Argentine legation. Since
then he has been in an extremely nerv-
Gus condition. No one save the minis
ter of the Argentine Republic and one
other man devoted to Balmaceda, was
permitted to see him. About o'clock
Saturday morning Senior Urri5urin
heard pistol shot in Balmaceda's bed
room, and rushing there found that the
ex-president had put bullet in his
brain. The Junta was notified, and
committee imm edately went to the
house and viewed the body. The body
was still warm. There was q gaping
wound in the temple. The body was
undressed and lay on the bed. The re-
volver was still in his right hand. Bal
mac ,da left letter to his mother. Also
statement to the Herald. AS almost
the last declarations of dying man,
they are of especial importance. He
says: II acted all during the past eight
months with the firm conviction that l
was right. had no one in the army in
whom l could place any trust. My gen.
erals were false to me. They lied
all through the war; Had my
orders been obeyed l believe
the battle of Concon would have
resulted in decisive victory
against the enemy. My heart all
through this trouble has been with
Chill. sought to rescue my country
from foreign domination. l strove to
make hor the first republic in America.
My enemies say that was cruel. Cir
cumstances compelled me to sanction
certain acts but many bad deeds that
were attributed to my orders were
never known by me until they had
been committed"

RUNAWAY HORSES.
A Chicago Mans Plan For StoppinC:
Them.

A Chicago Mans Plan For stopping
Them.
A new system of stopping runaway
horses by electricity was given a prac-
tical test on the lake front, Chicago, by
A. Il. Holson, the inventor. Michigan
avenue was lined with spectators. Hol-
son got into q carriage to which two
horses were attached and with no driver
on the box: a man lashed the horses
with a whip and they dashed away
at break-neck speed. Suddenly the
animals raised themselves on their
launches and came to full stop The
invention consists of dry battery un-
der the drivers box connected by wires
with metal balls place in the horses'
nostrils. There are two buttons, one
on the drivers box, the other INSIDE,
which will close the circuit when
pressed. The result is mild shock,
which the inventor claims, will invar-
iably bring runaway horses to stand
still

heretofore been a legend to the scien.

have been found. This Is the first dis
covery of that race known to the white

and record kept thereof. Measure
ments were taken, and these will be

RAIN MAKERS,
An Interesting Discovery Made by One
of ths Party In n Balloon,

An Interesting Discovery Made by One
of tbs Party in Balloon.
The active work of sky bonn bardment
to produce rain was commenced near
Ell Paso, Tex, by Mr.. Ellis and his as
sociates shortly after 10 o'clock Friday
morning. To prove the immense force
exerted on the air currents by even a
slight explosion Mr.. Ellis, the hero OF
the sensational ascension of Thursday,
relates peculiar experience. While
he was almost mile above ground,
and probably three or four miles from
the starting point, Prof. Kessler cxplod-
ed some half dozen charges of dyna-
mite. These charges were small four
sticks of the explosive, weighing each
one-half pound, were set off at time.
"Yes," said Mr.. Ellis Friday, II felt the
effects of these explosions. First saw
the puff of smoke. A few seconds later
came the dull deadened reports; then to
my great surprise the side of the bal
loon nearest the scene of the explosion
collapsed slightly. with sharp crack,
the folds continuing to quiver and vi
brate from the effects of the shock for
several seconds after. If that does
not conclusively prove that explosions
cause cornmingling of upper air cur
rents. l would like to know why and
if the concussion resultant upon that
charge of only two pounds of dynamite
should produce such results, what must
be the effects on the currents when we
touch off one of these balloons, contain
ing 500 cubic feet of one of the most
powerful explosives ever invented? My
instruments worked perfectly, and the
data l obtained is already on my rec
ord"

MIpN1eHr FIRE.

rive Lives 60 Out in Flame and Smoke
in Chicago Tenement House.
Fire broke out about 1880 o'clock
Friday morning in three-story tcne-
ment in Chicago. Although the blaze
lasted but fifty minutes, the loss of life
only made the trifiing damage to prop
erty stand out more insignihcantly.
Five people are dead, and another will
probably die. The basement and lower
floor of the building were used by VIM.
Kafitz for bakery, and it was in the
rear of his oven room that the fire
originated. When discovered the flames
had already gained considerable head

of confusion that followed were terri

had cleared away and the confusion
had in a measure subsidized, the firemen
were able to work more easily in rescu-
ing those who were in the burning
building. Men, women and children,
all in their night-clothes, had been re-
moved from windows and stairs above
All cgress had been cut off in the
rear of the house, as the fire had made
rapid progress up the stairway. There
were no fire escapes, and the single
fight of stairs in the front portion of
the building afforded little opportunity
of escape. On the first floor lived VIM.

smoke and heat when the partitions
of his room were smoldering. He awoke
his wife and four children, and they
managed to get down the stair
way only slightly burned The
fire did its worst on the second floor.
When Officer O'Neil broke into the
rooms occupied by the Schalk family in
company with firemen, horrible sight
met them. The rooms were filed with
smoke, and water stood on the floor to
depth of eighteen inches. The officer
heard a weak voice crying for help,
and as he pushed into the main room
he found the body OF Cynthia Schalk,
aged II, who was just barely alive In
this room in one heap were found Mr..
John Schalk, his wife, two sons and
one daughter. All were dead.
