A Man Looked Over Another's Shoul

A Man Looked Over Another's Shoul-
der and Was Knocked Down.
A war; ant was issued yesterday after
noon by Justice Owens for the arrest Of
one John Doe, who otherwise is known
by the name of Grant. This individual
has been frequenter of a gambling sa-
loon on Requena street, kept by COL
ored man.
On Thursday night he was engaged in
a game of cards for blood, and a young
fellow, who became interested, looked
over Grants shoulder. The gambler,
with the suspicion characteristic of his
kind, took exceptions, and, eventually
knocked the young fellow down. The
police are now looking for the pugilistic
player.

TseraaRlrabIe snstentntlos,.

There has been for some months iu the Emergency hospital ab Detroit q man who Is unable to swallow. and yet seems to suffer no particular incon- Senience therefrom. The doctors are watching his case with great interest. The patients throat is obstructed, and when he arrived at the hospital he had eaten nothing for couple of weeks and was in g starving condition. The physicians were not long, however, in devising plan for enabling him to take sustenance. The success of this was so great that the patient now looks as well as anyone. He is a great smoker, and ayers that his pipe never afforded him more solace than at pres ent. The apparatus which has pre- vented the patient from dying consists of a tube at one end of which is fun mel. At the other end there is 8 glass cylinder which, at meal times, is con- nected with a smaller tube, which is in turn inserted into the stomach through hole made for that purpose. Hannen- berg takes the food in his mouth, mas ticates it thoroughly, thus getting the benefit of the saliva, one of the greatest aids to digestion, and then ejects it into the funnel, whence it passes at once to the stomach. Numerous interesting ex- periments have been made by the phy- sicians; and one fact clearly demon strated is that,the old theory that con- ailments are harmful is fallacious, inas- much as salt, pepper, etc., have been shown in this to be particularly efica- cious in releasing the gastric juices.

Women and the Arts.

An English publication of the highest standing notes as significant thing the fact that the form of education which women seem now most anxious to ob- tain is almost purely literary. At a time when men are loudly complaining that Oxford and Cambridge have al- most cut themselves off from the active life of the country, and that, by neg lecting the practical study of law, medicine, surgery and technical produc- tion, they have resolved themselves into what would be called at a continental university gigantic faculty of arts, |" women are crowding to these discred- tied institutions and eagerly taking up the abandoned "arts' as the latest and most complete form of intellectual life open to them. In view of all this the able editor referred to is good enough to be- lieve it mot impossible that in time women's hands may have great share in the higher secretarial and education al work of the country"

IT has leaked out that prominent re- publican members of the senate finance committee wish to dodge the tariff issue by smothering these bills in com- mittee, that is, not reporting them back to the senate at all-they do not wish to hear, nor to allow the country to hear the tariff speech which Senator Carlisle has prepared, nor that of Senator Mills, which was not delivered in the house, because the senator preferred it to be his maiden speech in the senate. Another reason for wishing to smother these bills is that there are several re- publican senators who are considered by the republican leaders as shaky on the tariff question. Democratic senators have served notice on the republicans that they would resist the smothering process, and intended to have a vote and discussion, which would show the country where the senate stands, anG that may result in making the dodgers toe the mark.

AN INTERESTING CASE.
The Result of an EIopement of Forty
 Years Ago.

The Result of an EIOpement of Forty
 Years Ago.
 NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, April 12.-As the result of an elopement which occurred nearly forty years ago, the courts here will be called upon to decide an interest ing legal question in regard to the dis position of the estate of Israel Wohlman, who died last September leaving about $7,000 worth of property to Rebecca Wohlman, whom he claimed to be his lawful wife.
 A son, Louis Wholman, now appears and will make a contest for the property on the ground that the woman who lived with his father was not the lattea's legal wife. Proof has been forwarded from Warsaw which shows that Wohlman's wife, whom he deserted 40 years ago, is living there in destitute circumstances. Wohlman and the woman with whom it is alleged he eloped from Warsaw have lived in this city for nearly 40 years.

Cotton Dethroned. !.

Cotton recently reached the lowest price on record in Liverpool. Expert enced men declare that this is not a temporary result of speculation, but is the direct result of competition between American, Indian and Egyptian cotton fields. It is not denied, say commercial exchanges, that American cotton is of a shade better quality. American cotton is no longer king of the commercial world. The civil war abolished slavery and the plantation system. Under free labor the cotton lands of the south have been enormously increased in their pro- ductiveness. The total cotton crop of the world is now much greater than the spindles of the world can work into fabrics. Every market is glutted, and prices have fallen to the lowest point ever known.

THE acquittal by the consular court of

THE acquittal by the consular court of Yokohama of Lieutenant Hetherington of the United States navy, who shot and killed Gower Robinson, an Englishman, who was said to be too attentive to Mrs Hetherington, is out of the ordinary course of procedure in such cases. By treaty the United States has acquired the right to extend its own laws over its own citizens in China, Japan and other eastern countries, and our diplomatic representatives in those countries are authorized to organize courts and con duct trials in all cases where the rights of citizens of the United States are in, volved. The verdict rendered in this case may be said to err on the side of the injured husband, but the same criticism applies to most of the verdicts rendered by regular juries in similarcases.

THE aphorism, 'on the outside of things seek for differences; on the inside for likenesses," could be we'll applied to the meeting held in City hall last even ing. All seemed united in the opinion that it is high time the Second congress sional district of Connecticut was repre-. sented by resident of the city of Wa bury. It is now twenty-two years since Waterbury man has had the nomina tion and no good reason can be urged that it is not our time again-not even the shattered and disjointed state of oul political party at the present time. We believe that local pride will cause full party vote to be cast for the candidate for congressional honors, provided he halls from our city. This alone should make the convention consider carefully the claims which our delegates mus now make, as 1t will no doubt have { salutary effect on the vote cast for th' state ticket also.

It Became Weary of the Struggle Against
 the King.

Some New Facts Given by One o1
 spreckels' NIOst Intimate Friends-The
 Story of How He Used the Sugar Trust
 to His Own Advantage-The ola Man is Immensely Wealthy and Made it All
 Out of Sugar.
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 12.-Since Claus Spreckels, the sugar millionaire, returned here, there have been many conjectures as to the real status of the compromise between him and the Sugar Trust. Some of the trust people declared that the combine had brought Spreckels to his milk, while Spreckels' friends assert that he had made practically his own terms. One of Spreckels' most intimate friends gave new facts in regard to the recent dicker between the California sugar king and the trust. He said:
 'The formation of the trust about five years ago was 8 surprise to Spreckels, but he was still more surprised when the trust gave him the option of going in with them or being crushed. Their of fensive way of bluffing him aroused the old mans wrath, and he defled them to do their worst. While they were laying plans to shut down the refineries here he went to Philadelphia, built $S, COG, ,000 rennery, ana opened an acClVe ngnG ID their own camp.
 ''They stood the competition until this winter, when they became weary of the struggle and agreed to Spreckles' terms, $S, GOO, 900 for his Philadelphia refinery and liberty to control all the sugar in- terests on the coast. So Spreckels came back with his $5, GOO, 900 in profits, ready to meet the Hawaiian planters and secure control of all the sugar crop o1 the islands. Spreckels gave $1 ,000, 0OO each to his three children. The old man is worth fully $20, GOO, 900, all made out of sugar.

MANY eastern drug stores have adopt ed the precautionary measure of having two persons attend the preparation of any prescription containing poisonous drugs. The Medical Record calls atten- ton to the Harris murder trial in New York as an illustration of the impor- tance of this check, because eff single clerk received the prescription, pre- pared the capsules and delivered them, it might readily have been claimed by the defense that a mistake had been made by the druggist. As it was, the druggist was able to go on the stand and testify that an assistant had also read the prescription and seen the amount of morphine which it called for properly weighed and dispensed"

 When freight train Mo- 72, on the Louisville 6 Nashville road, reached E7ilEisc yesterday morning, four negroes attempted in daylight to break open a sealed freight car When Conductor Martin and his brakemen interfered, the negroes drew pistols and defied them. Just then the train pulled out. The tralnmen jumped aboard, the robbers shooting at them.
 At Falkwith the officers were notified, and n posse of officers and section men started in search of the robbers, who were met near town. The negroes re- fused to surrender and drew pistols. A fight occurred, both sides firing several shots.
 One of the robbers, Tom Wright, was killed. Tom Randall, another, was cap tured. The other two fled. Conductor Rudder, of a construction train, boarded his engine and pursued them, capturing Tom Head, after desperate resistance, on Sand Mountain. Henry Williams, the fourth man, was caught at Laconte.
 He made confession in which he said the gang were the same ones who, on the night of March 30, held up and robbed the Georgia Pacific mail train at Weems, seven miles east of here. He also said they were the parties who attempted to wreck the Louisville & Nashville train near Boyle's recently, and shot at the fagman.
 They reside here and are most desper- ate characters. Their captors will get the $5, GOO. reward offered by the Cover nor for their arrest.
