A JRKYL AND HYDE.
How Livernash Led One Life Asleep
and Another Awake.

How Livernesh Lea One Life Asleep
and Another Awake.
SANTA Rosa, CAL, May Edward J.
Livernash, an intelligent young journalist
with cranky instincts which frequently led
him into trouble, has made an original
defense In a suit for assault with intent
to murder. IL is that he was in a somuam-
bulistic condition at the time and recalls
nothing OF the crime, hence he claims to be
irresponsible.
Lvernash got into trouble early last year
by Disgusting himself In San Francisco as
negro woman. He tried to kill policeman
who arrested him, and he was sent to an
insane asylum. He was soon liberated, and
one morning last October he went TO the
him to make his will in his favor, leaving
HIM all his property. Etherldge demurred.
and then Livernash fired four shots at him,
two of which took effect, but only slight
wounds were inflicted.
Livernash was arrested and told such
wild stories that he was examined for in
sanity and committed TO the Nopa asylum
A few weeks ago he was discharged from
that institution and pronounced cured
He was then brought back here to answer
to the criminal charge. Atthe preliminary
examination at Cloverdale Drs. Mardner
and Robertson of Napa testified that Liver
nash was subject to somnambulistio in
fiuence that made him capable of leading a
dual life, and that when In his somnambu-
llstic state he was not accountable for his
actions. In their opinion he was in that
condition when he made the attack on Eth
eridge. Opinion is divided upon the matter
among Sonoma county people, and the case
will be stubbornlY contested.

SENATOR SHERMAN SOUR.
HIS INABILITY TO GET THE PREs1-
DENCY CALLS BIN.

He Wanted the Office as a Crown Co
His Cereer-He Feels That Re Be-
longs to the List of Men Kept Out
of the once by Fate.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-Senator Sherman
will not make the speech nominating Presi-
dent Harrison at Minneapolis. Neither will
he make one OF the seconding speeches.
The statement that he would, 90 confidently
made last week, was made without knowl-
edge. This is not because Senator Sherman
is a candidate himself. He is not, for be
knows he has no chance of being nominated,
The opponents Of President Harrison would
be glad to beat President Harrison with
him, but they would not give him the nom
ination or let him get it il they could help
it. Senator Sherman realizes this. He
feels very keenly his inability to
get the presidential nomination.
He knows his fitness for the presidency. but
believes that be would be able to give the
country an administration which would
confirm his reputation for all time. 1t frets
him, as it does Secretary Blaine, and as it
did Webster and Clay, to think that he can
not have this crown to his career. This is
what makes him unwilling to help President
Harrison, or anybody else who is a candi-
date. He is regarded by President Harri-
sons friends as having acted ungratefully,
for President Harrison supported him for
the presidency in 1888, and undoubtedly
it was President Harrison's aid which
reelected Senator Sherman to the Senate
this last time, yet Senator Sherman has not
said a word or lifted finger to hslp Presi-
dent Harrison. The report is received that
Senator Sherman, who will be in his roth
year when the present congress expires,
will then retire, in spite Of his recollection
to the Senate, which, it is said, he wanted
for the prestige rather than the position,
and devote himself to the publication of the
correspondence between himself and his
brother. Gen. Sherman, covering thirty or
forty years, including the war. In that
event Secretary Foster, who has always
served Senator Sherman. will. it is said. be
Senator Shermans candidate, for the suc>
cession but Gov. Mckinley and ex-Gov.

Of Man Heavily Insured.
Fort WAYNE, IND. May 1.-For six
months Karl Koch, aged 48, OF 25 Washing
ton street, has besn slowly dying. A num-
Der of physicians were called in turn, but
no two could agree upon diagnosis. Mean
while Koch, who was a burly cabinet
maker. slowly wasted away. until he was
but a shadow. He was insured in eastern
companies for 80, 900. The local medical
examiners Of the insurance companies re-
ported the matter to the home office, and
medical experts were sent on from New
York to LOOK into the case
After consultation they boldly announced
It as their opinion that Koch was being
slowly poisoned TO death by his friends in
order to get the insurance. This was in
diRnantly denied by his family, but the in
surance men took voluminous notes and
memoranda to be used in fighting the claim
when it should be presented:
Friday Koch died, and a post mortem
examination was demanded by the insur-
ance men. This was had yesterday, and
showed that Koch died of a cancerous
growth of the stomach, which had almost
closed up the space between the abdominal
walls, and prevented digestion 10 such an
extent that the patient practically died of
starvation. The insurance men will not
contest the claim.

BRUSSELS. May 1.-Maydsy has passed
here without an incident worthy of note.
The workingmen carried out their pro-
gramme for observance Of the day without
a hitch. and there was no trouble OF any
kind. The only dispatch that has marred
the peaceful tenor of the reports comes from
Aublin, town near Couvin, in the pro-
vince of Namur. At that place dynamite
bomb was exploded in front of the burgo-
masters house. Little damage was done.
A tin cylinder with fuse attached was
found between the collonades of the foreign
Office tonight This discovery created
great alarm.
EXPLOSIONS AT LIEGE.
The alarm was intensified by the news
from Liege, where two dynamite cartridges
were exploded this evening, one in the resi-
dence of Senator Deslys, and the other in
the residence Of his son. These explosions
caused serious damage to property. Enor-
nous crowds collected at the scenes of the
explosions. Later another explosion oc-
Cured in the choir of st. Martins church,
by which stained Windows valued at $40, 900
were shattered into fragments, and hun
dreds of paues Of glass in adjacent
houses were smashed. A fourth cartridge
with a spent fuse was discovered later on.
A feeling Of wild panic prevails there.
Reports from all other parts of Belgium
speak Of the labor parades and meetings as
remarkable for the display of the greatest
good humor. The miners of the Mons,
Borinage and La Louviere districts assem-
bled in strong force.

a measure of precsution detachments Of
Italian troops were kept on guard at the
vatican ali day. A large congregation
heard mass at st. Peters this morning.
King Humbert, at the accustomed hour, set
forth on his usual daily drive through the
crowded streets. He met with a contin-
uous ovation from the populace. Many
indoors lectures and meetings marked the
day but those in attendance we're orderly.
During the evening a rain stern set in
which had the effect of clearing the streets.
Telegrams from the provinces report for
most part day of tranquility. In Milan
and other places the bulk Of the inhabit>
ants regard the socialist demonstrations
with Indifference. At Bologna and Raw
emma persistent attempts made to hold out
door labor meetings led TO scatfles with the
nolice. At Bologna it was considered
necessary to have a detachment Of cavalry
olear the streets and an order to that effect
was carried out.
A dispatch sent from Ancona at mid
night says that during the evening bomb
was thrown into the casino in Dinogaglia.
The missile exploded with great force. The
windows Of the building and all the furni-
tnre In the casino were demolished. Several
arrests of persons suspected OF implication
in the affair have been made.

CHICAGO. May IA highly sensational
incident occurred in the Mayday celebra-

the seizure of three sanguinary emblems
which were a feature of the days celebra-

which lined the street meanwhile
cheering wildly. A few minutes later the

corner. Another nod by Inspector Marsh
and the officers quickly seized the bearer
of the red banner. He made little show
of resistance, but was quickly placed in the

The men stated that they were innocent Of
any wrong-doing; they only read the
Arbeiter Zettung and did not know they
were violating any law or disobeying the
police orders. They were selected, they
said. by their organization to carry flags
and dld not intend TO defy the police.

city gathered at thirty-two different centers
to-day and marched In procession to Nuss-

by the workmen to enable
them to loot the establishments, The pro-
prietor denies, however, that the fire was
of incendiary origin. AN immense crowd

DUBLIN, GA, May Hon. II. @. Tur-

ovation. IL was Mr.. Turner's first visit TO
Laurens county, and the people gave him a
royal welcome. At IL o'clock sharp an I'm.
mense concourse of people wended their
way to a large cotton warehouse by the
railroad depot The building was jammed
and packed to its utmost capacity. The
stage was elegantly adorned with
flowers and evergreens by Dup
Inns fair women. When the
music Of the brass band died away MIR.
Turner in a clear and earnest manner
opened his argument by comparing the
third party principles as similar to those
which ruled when the commune assumed
control Of Paris when the German legions
invested the city. Mr. Turner said that the
silver issue was a question of second
ary Importance; that other issues
overshadow this. He denounced the Nc
Kinley bill, and to it attributed the de-
preston in the country. Mr. Turner closed
his speech with an earnest appeal for
democratic unity, and begged the people
not 10 divide when victory was in sight
His speech was singularly honest, straight
forward aud manly. Hundreds OF Laurens'
citizens met him, and his name Is on every
lip. The third party in this county is
dead beyond resurrection. Judging from
the voice Of popular approval, Mr.. Turner
will carry this county.
