ST.. Louis, Mo, March ia special
from Tacoma, Wash, says: A promi-
nent Tacoma physician has made d
horrible and startling revelation, in
which he alleges that he was called two
months ago to the death bed of a
poor Swede named Lars Petersen.
He told the physician he wished his
dying confession written and it is as
follows:
Peterson worked in Armour's pork
house in Chicago until 1887; then he
went to Sioux City to Silverhorn's pack
ing house, where he worked until the
spring Of 1889, when he killed a man
named Larson Harstrum, who worked
with him cleaning the floors in the
killing room. lie stabbed him many
times and his blood flowed down
the gutter to the fertilizer, mixing
with the blood of the swine
killed that day. He then put
him in the shoot and ran his body
in among 1000 carcasses killed that day.
Near morning he took the body to the
chopping blocks, cut in pieces, covered
1t with salt and ran them to the fertilizing
rooms among piles of pork left there for
months He then burned the clothes in
the furnace. Petersen lived in Sioux
City for two months after the murder
and then came here.

The mall which has Just arrived from
China, says the London Times, brings
news Of the death, at hts place ct Honam,
iii Canton, CT probably the wealthiest
man Iii China. In the history OF the
fBreign trade Of China no name Is So
celebrated as that of Howqua. For the
last forty years OF Its existence he was
the head of unique corporation OF
monopolists known as the Co-Hong,
which was usually composed of eight
Canton merchants. His wealth was
almost fabulous. In 1884 he put 1t down
himself at over $26. 00O, 900. In 1841,
when Sir Hugh Cough levied ransom
of SIG, 100000 on the city of Canton,
Howqua advanced over 81, 600, zoo to
the authorities. He was the leading tea
merchant of China of those days, the
congou teas which he grew on his own
estates being especially renowned on the
London market The Napoleon Of the
trade OF China died, aged "a, In 1s43,
and was succeeded by his son, who died
last month. The magnificent gardens of
his residence In Canton were one of the
many sights of the city. He was always
pleased to show them and his mansion
to English visitors, and he never failed
to draw attention to the presents which
his father and himself received from
successive English sovereigns In recog-
milton of services rendered to British
subjects In Canton. The younger HowQua
was nearly so years Of age at the time OF
his death

The Deaf, OF washinrton.

On the 18th of December, 1899, Gem
eral Washington spent several hours on
horseback, riding over his farm and Civ
ing directions to his manager. He re-
turned late in the afternoon, wet and
chilled with rain and sleet. The water
had penetrated to his neck, and snow
was lodged in the locks of his hair. Next
day heavy snow fall prevented his GO
ing out much. He complained of sore
throat, but passed the evening cheerfulIy
with his wife, reading the newspap ers.
In the night he had an ague, and be-
fore the dawn of Saturday the 14th, the
soreness of throat had become so severe
that he breathed and spoke with difficult
ty. He was bled, at his own request, by
his oyerseer; physicians were summoned,
but their remedies were useless To-
ward evening he said to DIR. Craik, his
family physician:
81 die hard, but am not afraid to die
believed from my first attack that
should not survive it My breath cannot
last long"
A little later he asked the doctors to
do nothing further, but let him die qui-
city. He sank quietly into death be-
tween 10 and Ii on the night of Dec. Ii.
His last words were: II am just going.
