taken away in carts and are buried in rough
pine collins with a cover of lime. The re-
ports from Guatemala also give narrowing
details of the progress of the disease there.
Lack of medical attendance and bad sani-

The doctors, however admit that the
scourge is Of a particularly violent nature
and does rot yield to treatment readily
even in favorable cases.

ZWALD'S CRIMES.
Confirmation Of the TTuthfulneSS Of The
WifG-MuFdeTaFS Confession.

SACRAMENTO, June Al. H. Robinson,
Deputy Sin eritf of San BernardinO County,
has written to Under Sheriff Buggy as fol-
lows: II saw to-day some more about
John Zwald. Now, 1 am from Wayne,
Nebr.. aud when his wife was hung in their
house | was the officer that summoned the
Cor0ner's jury, and was present at tie in
quest. MI Zwald told a straight story, and
he was not suspected by many people. The
trouble between ZWald and his wife was
that he had $500 IN bank and quarter
section of land, and he wanted to get hold
Of it. He was put I'D TO get 1t by mao
Eamed Fred SebUld, a barber-at least that
was the talk at the time of Mrs. Zwald's
death. l want you to ask John If he did
the job alone, and if Fred SebOld did not
help him. for DO not think he did 1t alone.
His wife was strong woman"
The letter, il will be seen, Is further con-
frmation of the tru,hfulnesS of Zwald'S
terrible tale, If any further proof WAS
needed. Wien Zwad was told OF Robin
sons letter to-day, he told Mr.. Rugby most
earnestly aud emphatlcaliy that he killed
his second vile alone, and without assist
ance from any one. 1t was Ssbold, he said,
who introduced him to the woman and who
recommended her as a good catch, but there
his connection with the affair ended.
Zwald then again detailed the ciTcum stances
of the story how the woman had reviled
hin and abused his children by his former
wife. aud how after she had kicked him cut
of bed one night, he smothered her aud
then hanged her lifeleSS remains from
rafter. when l first placed the bed
clothes over her head" SAID Zwald, -
don't think / intended to kill her, but
thought of the stories she would tell tie
neghborS next day, so l concluded to I'm
ish tue job"
Zwald also told how he dragged the body
of the large woman upon the table, lifted
the body as high as possible, when he fast
ened the rope about her neck ana then over
a rafter. This accomplished, he tipped the
table, and the lfeless form slipped there
from, ard hung suspended, her feet touch
ing the floor.

visited him in jail. The boys eluug to their

Of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific

elected except Sidney Dillon, succeeded by
Alexander T. Van Nest. The question of
the future policy of the board WAS discussed,
and it was the unanimous opinion of the
Directors that the earnings should go TO

fact that there was deficit of about one
half of per cent on the capital stock after
paying the usual per cent dividend, the
board decided the August dividend should
one half of per cent. The report for the
year ending March 31st shows the gross
earnings to be Sl7,473,545. a decrease of
SI65, 427. The operating expenses and
taxes were reduced from So. 475,067 in 1890
