ATTEMPTED KILLING OF SAGE.
Interest Increased by the Arrest of w.


w.
ID. Southworth.
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.-Interest in the
attempt to kill Russell Sage was increased
to-day by the arrest ofW. d. Southworth,
the man who sought to interest Harry
Horne, the dime museum lecturer, in an
organization for general betterment of
mankind by overthrowing monopolies
1t was said yesterday that Southworth
had gone to Central America, but he was
found by Inspector Byrnes' men. South
worth is undoubtedly crank, and con-
fessed that he had been an inmate of a
lunatic asylum. He was taken to the
morgue and shown the head of the dyna-
inter. but said he had never seen it in his
life. In that particular he contradicted
the story of Horne, who said the dead
man introduced Southworth to him at the
museum two months ago.
One David B. Shaw called at police
headquarters during the day and identi-
fled SOuthworth as the man whom he
met on October 9th. Southworth un-
folded a scheme for the organization of a
secret society, with branches in the
large cities. Southworth was to be the
head of the society. The society was to
be of political nature. and could pro-
mulgate the idea of getting the votes of
the people to take away all telegraphs.
railroads and other monopolies from in
diyiduals and place them in the hands of
the Government
In this conversation he referred re-
peatedly to Gould, Sage and other capi-
talists. He thought the people ought to
be able to go to San Francisco for a dol
lar, and thought there should be three or
four meetings of the society to get people
interested in the scheme He said he
owned property in San Francisco.
Several days afterward Shaw received
a letter from Southworth asking him to
meet him again. This he signed "Com-
mander-in in Chief Grand Army of Labor.'
Inclosed in this letter was a lengthy
proclamation headed Overland for One
Dollar" and he signed it in the same
characteristic way.
Southworth was crank on the subject
of railways, and their management. He
started small newspaper and advocated
Government control and rate across the
continent for 81. While in this city he
was subject to crazy spells, and would
often apply to the City Prison to be
locked up, owing to fear that in his
temporary madness he might kill some
one. Harry Horne, the dime museum
man, called at headquarters this after
noon. He and Southworth at once recog-
nized each other.
Tonight Russell Sage is said to be
suffering from the effects of the shock
caused by the explosion more than at
any previous time. While he does not
suffer much pain he is greatly prostrated.
and it will probably be several days be-
fore he resumes active business. Sage's
residence has been besieged by callers all
day.

PARIS, Dec. Ga report of terrible
mining disaster comes from st. Etienne,
in the Department of Loire. An
explosion of a fre-damp occurred at
noon to-day in one of the numerous coal
pits in that region, and many workers
were unable to escape from the mine.
According to advices so far received
eighty men perished in the pit.
LATER.-It has been ascertained that
seventy-three miners perished.
The wives, children and relatives of the
entombed miners surrounded the mouth
of the pit, and the most heartrending
scenes were witnessed as the bodies OF
the victims were brought to the surface.
If the accident had happened on an or
binary working day instead of a fete day,
the loss of life would have been much
greater. The rescuers were greatly har-
rassed in their work by the collapsed
galleries, which prevented access to the
imprisoned men. The first miners taken
out, eight in number, were resuscitated

FRESNO, Dec. CD. w. Trumbo, one
OF the proprietors of confectionery store
known as the "Candy Kitchen" was
found dead in bed about l P. NJ. to-day
by his brother George, with bullet in
ms temple. a revolver was under the
cover at the foot of the bed, and bullet
hole was in the window. Two chambers
OF the pistol were empty.
There are two theories of the killing
one suicide and the other murder.
Irumbo was seemingly in the best of
spirits last evening, He and his brother
have prospered in business, and so far as
known both were Sell liked. Thev are
quiet, orderly, and their habits were of
the best.
The bullet hole in the window sustains
the theory of murder, and the surmise is
that after the killing the murderer crept
III through the window and placed the
revolver in the bed.

Rio Janeiro say that the news of the death
of Dom Pedro met with no official recog-
milton in the Brazilian Capital A num-
Der of merchants and shopkeepers in Rio
Janeiro closed their places of business for
a day out of respect for the ex- Emperor,

coincidence, offers the use Of the vault of
the Braganza family for the burial of the
ex-Emperor.
Dom Pedro was fully possessed of his
mental faculties till the end. During his
last hours the exEmperor repeatedly
exhorted his heir, Princess Isabella, to
pray with him for the peace and pros
perity of Brazil.
His body has been embalmed, and
other preparations made for the funeral,
which is TO be held on Thursday.
The body of Dom Pedro, attired in the

The Duke and Duchess d. Eu insist that
any political attitude is likely to offend

NEW YORK, Dec. Ga Herald'S Pan
anna cable says: Elections We're held
throughout the United States of Colombia
to-day, attended by number of exciting
scenes. In this State several attempts at
rioting were made, but quickly sup
pressed. 1t is impossible to say how the
elections have gone. Until the last of
October, the literary and civic wings of
the Conservative party were united in
support of Safaiel Nunez for President.
Nunez is now completing his third term
as Chief Magistrate. While agreed upon
their choice for the Presidency the
Conservative wings were divided as
to the candidate for Vice-President.
Nunez's health has been so poor for a
long time that the Vice-President has
really administered affairs.
The result of the convention differences
was that the military and civic factions
determined to put q Nice-PreSidential
candidate in the field. The military wing
put forward General Marciliano Velez,
and the civic, Miguel \. Caro-, a brother
in-law Of acting President Holguin. Nu-
nez was first neutral between the fac
tions, but when the old Liberal party
began to show a decided preference
! for General Veiez, Nunez repudiated the
latter and came out for Caro-. The mill
tary portion then withdrew support from
Nunez and proclaimed Velez candidate
for President. President Of the Senate
Ortiz was put on the Nelez ticket as Vice
President.
At the closing of the polls tonight the
Liberals are claiming big majority, in
spite of their opponents to the union.
