CARA GROWS BOLD.

The Greaser Very Much Alive,
Although Rep Orted Dead.
BROWNSVILLE, Tex, Dec. 25,-It is
reported that Cara has made a bold
attempt to capture Fort Ringgold. The
report says that one of his band was
pursued by Mexican troops near Car
MARCO. The bandit abandoned his
horse and swan to this side, the Next
can troops after him. He proceeded to
Fort RinggOld, and told the soldiers
there that Cara was after him. Boots
and saddles were sounded, and the men
went out to meet CARA, but soon dis
covered that the troops were Mexican
regulars.
They rushed back to Fort Ringgold
and found that the fugitive had tricked
them and that Cara was coming in at
the other end to take Fort Ringgold.
The soldiers got back Just in time to
save the fort from being sacked. The
whole garrison is now under arms. The
United States telegraph operator has
pistols on his operating table for an
emergency. The report has reached
here that several Mexican army officers
are Joining GarZa'S band and that
company of Mexican regulars had re-
VOTED and killed their captain after
Capt. Bourke is moving along the
river near Laredo and several detach-
mentS are located at crossings between
RIO Grande City and Brownsville. The
Mexican government is said to be in
state of considerable anxiety over the
serious condition of affairs. A report,
said TO have emanated from reliable
sources, states that there is great deal
OF dissatisfaction amcng the Mexican
troops and that several considerable
bodies of them have joined the Cara
outfit.
LAREDO, Tex, Dee. 25.-The report
was current yesterday evening that
CatarinO Cara was killed in an engage
ment with Capt. Harde's command be-
tween Laredo and Garlic, but nothing
authentic can be aScertained. The COM
handing Offider at Fort Mcintosh at a
late hour this evening had received no
official confirmation of the report There
can be no doubt that CARA has been
receiving material aid from the Mexican
ranches on this side of the Rio Grande
In the vicinity of his recent encamp-
ment, where he recruited about 250 men.
and that Pena station has been the
point where he has received his sup
plies. The special train bearing two
companies of United States troops ar
rived over the International last even
ing, and they will be forwarded at once
to the scene of GarZa's disturbance in
the vicinity OF Rio Grande City and
CaTriZO.

MIGHT HAVE BEEN SAVED.
Physicians Opinions About the
Case of Senator Plumb.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 25.-There
is a great deal of talk about Senator
Plumb's case. This talk is not confined
to the friends of the senator. Ii extends
to all circles. Even the physicians are
discussing it. They say the case and its
sad ending serve to emphasize the diff
ference in the English and the Ameri-
can treatment. Some of these physicians
are not at all satisfied with the treat
ment. 1t is the American way, how
ever, to deaden pain with morphine.
The pain may be in the head, heart or
somewhere else. In goes the morphine
by hypOdermic injection. The English
practitioners would not have given
morphine in such case as Sen
atOr's Plumb's condition. They
would have opened vein at the neck
or used leeches to relieve the brains
congestion. The physicians do not ex-
actly censure the treatment pursued,
but they do question whether, with
different treatment, Senator Plumb
might not have been saved. And
this feeling is exaggerated in the minds
or the senator's friends. They can not
reconcile themselves to the result. That
the senator's system had become diSOr-
dered, and that his bra/I had been in
jured by OverwOrk they all admit. But
he was man of powerful physique.
His habits were good. The evidences
Of brain affection were not of long
standing. So far as age and wear were
concerned Senator Plumb was in his
prime. Why should he not have been
saved, then? He came to hissroom that
last night from no excess of dissipation
of any kind. He was attacked by
severe pains in the head. so that he
tossed about on the bed and groaned.
The doctor came and administered
morphine and another drug. From
shortly after o'clock until daylight the
senator slept under their influence.
Then, as is usual, nausea set in from
the morphine. At o'clock he sprang
out of bed, ran across the room to slop
jar and vomited. 1t appears now, from
the statement of the attendant. that the
vomiting was violent. Three fits of
retching occurred in a minutes time.
At the end of it the senator threw I'D
his arms and cried: "Oh, my GOdl my
head, my head" Then he fell back in
bed, was asleep or unconscious IN few
moments, aud never spoke again, al
though he lay there from until IL be-
fore anything dangerous III his condi-

shortly before O'Clock this morning by
an explosion of natural gas. MIR.
Pritchard, vile and three children, a

buried in the ruins. The cause of the
explosion was leakage in the cellar.
Mr.. Pritchard keeps a grocery store
in his building and went to the cellar
to get basket for a customer. which
he had stored away. He struck match
nd the explosion occurred. The con-
cusSiOn was terrific, pieces of the build
ing being blown half square away. 1t
is considered a miracle that any of those
in the building at the time should have
escaped with their lives. Mrs. Prit-
chard and the three children, aged four,
seven and nine years respectively, were
in bed on the third floor and were taken
out of the cellar. The loss on building
and contents was $4,000, on which there
was 81, 800 insurance.

A MOTT STREET EVENT.
n Fashionable Wedding in New
York Chinese Society.

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The following
description of Chinese wedding was
written by the well known Chinese coli
tributOr to the press, Wong Chin Foo:

man, of 81 Mott street, is the happy
man and the center OF attraction in
Chinese society, as yesterday he took
unto himself a brand new wife. She Is
only a wee bit of girl, said to be seven
teen years old by Chinese calculation,
probably little less according to the
European calendar. The bride was
Miss Chin, and is the daughter or maid
of one Chm All Kin, of San Francisco.
a cigarmaker. She was brought here
nearly three weeks ago, it was said, i'm
male attire, and was placed in pretty
apartments of relatives of the groom.
Late yesterday afternoon she was form
ally married in the Chinese fashion.
The eOmely little bride was dressed
and primped up like a gorgeous butter
fly i'll the richest silks the Chinese en-
pire could produce. There were two
other Chinese women with her in her
apartments, while the male guests were
feaSting at nearby restaurant with
the old groom. As soon as the third
course was concluded the groom arose
and told his guests to follow him to Is

apartments of the couple. The floor of
the sitting room here was bare, with
Straight-back chairs all around the
room. while here and there upon the
nlcely-papered walls were flaming red
Chinese notices and scrolls of oriental
drawings.
After the guests were seated the
bride, accompanied by a fine-lOoking
Chinese maid, slowly entered the room
from an inner chamber with q big red
fan held before her face, only daring to
look at the assembly of males through
the cracks OF the handles of the fan. She
stood fOrone moment in the center of the
room as if daZed, and an elderly man
quickly stepped up 10 her and told her
to go around the room and TO bow
to the guests. This she aid very grace
fully and slowly, with the little maid
following in her wake with big tray
containing SweetmeatS, which she Of
fered to each man. The latter replaced
each piece of candy with a silver dollar
wrapped in red paper and sometimes
s. gold piece, when rich friends and
relatives were present.
The most embarrassing ceremony was
when the groom was pushed forward to
stand with his bride (the latter still held
the fan lightly before her face and The
two were maid to drink the cup of eter-
nal peace, unity and prosperity, which
was handed them by the best friend of
the family, an elderly man, and then
they were congratulated with Coon

ton was recognized. Some of the doc
tors now suspect that the violent vOmit-
ing burst blood vessel in the brain,
and that while the senator was sup
posed to be sleeping quietly for over
hours the hemOrrhage was flooding out
the intellect.
Mr.. L. De f. Jennings, at whose
house Senator Plumb lived for years,
says that Or. Wales administered NOR
phine injections to relieve the pain in
Mr.. Plumb'S head. His forehead was
burning with a feverish heat. He
placed his hand on his brow and it felt
as if fire was raging within. In his
opinion number of injections were
warranted by the condition of the pa
tent. Mr.. Jennings has studied medi-
cine and knows something about the
treatment of such cases. He states that
he was told by a gentleman who dis
cussed the subject with him, that in
England the physician would have bled
the patient, in such case. behind the
ear, but the American practice approves
the morphine cure, which is applied in
all cases of excessive pain, whether in
the head, the heart or elsewhere.

JOHNSON, NORTH DAKOTf made an error
at the start. President Harri>On'S in
tiuence will not have much effect in a
senatorial fight in North Dakota, nor
upon any other issue. Congressman
Johnson may succeed in securing few
minor offices for his friends by his efforts
at the White house, but they will Ire of
little avail. This was proved in the
case of Senator Pierce. WHO failed when
everything at the White house was
poured into his hands.
Speaking of coinage and other mat
tiers, Mr.. johnson says:
Il know very little about those sub
jectS, but if hard work, good health,
and StudiOuS habits will enable me to
master those subjects. | am willing to
pay the price. l once heard President
Larson, of Luther college. say it was
not expected of an educated man of our
day that he should carry all learning of
the ages in his head, or have it always
at command on the tip of his tongue,
but it was expected that he should know
enough about the use of the tools of
craft to be able 20 go into a library and
gather up and produce. on reasonable
notice, the learning of the wOI Id up to
date, on any given subject. l fancy the
demands of Statecraft are not much
more eXacting."
Mr.. Johnson probably means by this
that lie will pull down books from the
congressional library, which will enable
him to master the financial subject
upon which he is called upon to act.

HER PICTURE DID 1T.
Romantic Wedding the Outcome
of Il Prize-Beauty Contest.


RONDoUT, n. Y, Dee. 25.-A ro-
mantle marriage was celebrated at Sau-
gertes, on the Hudson, last evening.
the contracting parties being Albert d.
Steenken, of Brooklyn, and Miss Maytie

1t fell TO the lot of Miss Adams to rep
resent Texas, and the citizens of that
state could not but feel gratified at the
fortunate selection. Miss Adams, now
Mrs. Steenken, is an exceptionally
beautiful lady of twenty-three years.
She is blonde of the most ravlshing
type, having wavy yellOwish brown

ures, and graceful and delicateIy
carved figure. Besides these charms
the bride is gifted musician and con-
verSatiOnalist of rare ability.
The groom is twenty-SiX. and will in
herit the greater part Of his fathers for
tune. which runs into the millions. His
IdlIler OWLS enormous interests IN the
National Lead trust, and has a mOnop-
oily of the sulphur and nitrate of silver
business in this country. The romance
of the wedding comes III, according to
the friends of the couple, who say that
the groom fell in lovei with the brides
picture when it was published. His
business took him to Saugerties very
often. and he there obtained an intro
duction to the lady who became his
bride. The bride Is daughter of Lewis
B. Adams, a leading merchant of the
village. The wedding was very quiet,
owing to the recent death of the
grOOm's mother. Only the immediate
family of the bride and groom were
present. The honeymoon will be spent
in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

seemed anxious to know how his mother
was. He did not know tnat she had
been instantly killed. The child had
been sleeping in the same berth with his
mother. Two young girls were among
the injured.

WHITMAN RALLIES.
The Aged Poet Passes the Seasons
Compliments.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. %. Walt
Whitman again rallied today and his
condition was improved. The aged
poet, knowing his death was expected
last night, has regained a little of
his usual cheerfulness and in
dulged in several little chats during the
day with his biOgrapher. DR.. Buckead.
This morning Mr.. Whitman gave him a
smile and wished him merry, merry
Christmas" The venerable bard also
expressed the same cheer to his
attendants, the physicians and his
relatives. For the first time
in nearly two days the pa
tient was able to eat piece of toast,
a small glass of milk and little Juice
of a lemon. At 4 O'Clock this after
noon DR.. McAllister and DR.. Buckead
held a consultation. The lungs of the
patient were examined. and were found
to be in slightly improved condition.
Some of the mucus in the lungs had
been discharged. There is no more rat
Ting in his throat owing to the mucus.
There were many callers at the little
cottage today.
