THE "TIGER'S" FASCINATION,

1t Causes Il. T. Blanchard to Forge Secre-
tary of state Rotwitt's Signature.
Last night Policeman Martin arrested r.
p. Blanchard on complaint of o. w. Car.
penter. Blanchard entered Carpenters
store and asked to have a check for $50
cashed. The check was signed L. Rotwitt.
Carpenter advanced $50 On it and
later became suspicious. He hunted
up DR.. Rotwitt and showed him
the check. 1t was pronounced a
forgery. When arrested Blanchard
confessed his guilt and said his love for
gambling WAS the cause. He had 30 cents
of the money left when locked up. Blanch-
ard has been doing some clerical work in
the secretary of states office for about two
weeks. He is an elderly man of short
stature and smooth face OF keen expression.
1t is said that he was formerly a prominent
lawyer in Chicago. Last summer he
figured as the principal actor in an east

Wales IN Disgrace for Comforting "a Re-
Gently widowed Lady.
LONDON, Dec. 11.-Rumor is busy with
the conduct of the prince of Wales. 1t is
whispered. and sometimes talked loudly
enough III the clubs, that his royal high
ness has a new fayorite, the young widow of
a nobleman who died not long ago. The
lady is certainly beautiful, and the prince
used to be somewhat attentive to her before
her husbands death, but not more than to
Il number of other ladies. Since the nus
bands decease the prince has been Il fee
quent visitor at the house of mourning,
aud has, no doubt. il report is correct, as
sisted the widow to throw off some of the
burden of her SORROW.
Ihe prince appears 10 be incorrigible in
these matters. and 1T il even asserted by
some who ought to know him intimately
that he is just as readily captivated by a
pretty face now rs thirty years ago. The
princess of Wales shows extreme discre-
tion, and whatever her feelings may be,
she manages very we'll to conceal them.
she ignores hsr husbands faults, SO far ~
the world oan perceive. and deyotes herself
TO her children.

The Dynamiters Have Gotten the
Town Into a Regular State
OF Terror.
They Threaten to Send Buildings
and People Skyward for
Revenge.
Dctectives Are Guarding All the Points
Where the Explosions Are Ex-
pected to Take Piace.

LONDON, Dec. lit is now London's
turn TO be put under the terror Of dynam-
it's iends. A gigantic plot il on the eve of
execution and all the energies of the gov
eminent are being exerted to avert the
catastrophe. The police know tho anaroh-
lists have planned a ftightful revenge for
the extradition of their comrade, Francois.
bat they do not know just where the blow
ia to fall. The result is Westminster,
Downing street. the Law courts and other
public buildings are guarded day and night
by ali army of detectives. The explosion
was expected TO take place last night.
Three hundred men from Scotland Yard
guarded the parliament building alone. A.
detective stood in front of every door. ev-
cry window, md at ever y corner and angle,
and the residences OF the detectives vine
arrested Francois. the magistrates who
heard the case and the court and
Jail where he was confined were sim
ilarly protected. The fact that moth
ing happened does not prove the
alarm to be b~aseless. Information which
! the agents of Scotland Yard gained a few
days ago among the anarchists is said to be
very authentic. The plotters have an ample
supply of dynamite. They lacked only a
reliable detonator for exploding the APP
paratus. This their confreres in Paris
agreed to supply. The stric.est watch has
been maintained ever since at Dover,
Folkestone and other channel parts to
detect the device in transit, if possible. Ii
was not discovered and the detectives are
presumably ignorant as to whether it has
yet been delivered. Several anarchists in
London are under suspicion. but as the 10
cation of the discriminating explosive is
unknown no arrests have been made. AS
soon as the investigation has progressed
further it is said to be the plan to throw
out q drag net and suddenly arrest many
suspected dynamiters in London. Mean
time the policy OF maintaining a sp ecial
guard over the government buildings will DO
co utinued.

gossip WAS started in the hotel corridors last
night by a remark made by hi. III. De

yanced the claim that he, and not Thomas

to this position Carter had been chosen.
That being tho case, De Young. AS vice

organization. De Young spoke last night
as If he intended to assume the duties OF

certain when he would call the committee

Two Men in Illinois Engage in a Fatal
 Fight.
 VANDALIA, ILL, August 29.-- Word has just been received here of a fatal stabbing affray which took place near Avena Saturday night. John Fraley and Charles Chandler were the principals. Both are we'll to do farmers, residing in London township. They came to vandalia to transact some real estate business.
 Fraley was a Republican and Chandler a Democrat. Both had been drinking and quarreling all along the road over politics. Chan dler finally got out of the wagon and said he would walk. Fraley declared he should ride, and climbed out and began plying the whip to Chandler. Chandler drew his knife and stabbed Fraley once in the back and twice in the left breast. During the alterca- tion the horse became frightened and started to run. Fraley called to Chandler to stop cutting him and catch the horse. Fraley got up and started with Chandler after the horse, when he complained of be- iLg sick and sank down by the roadside and expired.

KNOCKED OUT BY CORBETT.
Daley, His Sparring Partner, Put to Sleep
 on the Stage.
DOES NOT KNOW HIS FORGE.
This is What His Admirers Say-Suiiivan Will Exhibit--viewed in Different Lighfs-Wiil Leave for
 Battle Septem-
 

NEW YORK, August 27.--About the only thing the average sporting man feels of any importance is at present the great prize fight. The unfortunate occurrence Thursday night at Asbury Park, the knocking out by Corbett of his sparring part ner, Jim Daley, is the talk of the town to-day. Many seemed to think 1t was entirely un- necessary. The majority of people, however, are more liberal in their views. and are willing to accept Corbett's apology that 1t was an unintentional blow. Daley was put to sleep and had to be carried off the stage in dazed condition.
 Corbett says Daley will come around all right in day or so. Different people view the knockout in different lights, while it has raised Corbett in the estimation of some neople it has just an opposite effect with others. Jim's admirers assert he is in such magnificent condition he does not know his own strength, and could net realize the force of the blow that put Daley to sleep. The fight is drawing so near it is unlikely Sullivan or Corbett will have much further use for their present training quarters Sullivan will leave his good grounds Monday, after his benefit entertainment in the evening, and prepare for the journey to New Orleans, as special train which is to convey the Sullivan party will leave West Shore station, Weehawken, at 5:15 pm, Septem- Der g. The train will be composed entirely of sleeping cars, and will carry about 300 passengers. A party will go via West Shore to Buff falo, then bee line to Cincinnati, the Queen and Crescent to New Or. leans. Corbett's party will take the shortest and quickest route to New Orleans, the Richmond and Dan- vile Railroad, Piedmont Air Line. They will not leave the city until 4:30 pm, September 3. They will make the trip in forty hours, and arrive at the Crescent City Monday morning.

MURDERER CRAIG ESCAPES.
He Gets Away Again From Marianne Au'
 thorifies.

thoriiies.
 POPLAR GROVE, ARK, August 27.-The murderer, Craig, who was in the Lee county jail at Marianna, Ark, broke jail Wednesday night and is now free. Peter Rhodes, an officer of that county, passed through this place last night with a posse in hot pursuit of him.
 About four years ago Craig and another man passed through Mari anna in two-horse wagon, The other man owned the team and wagon, and met up with Craig in the road and offered him a ride as far as tLey went together. From Marianna they travelled to Moro, Ark, about twenty miles west of Marianna, where tLey camped for a few days. When they left no one knows, but in few days some citizen pass ing by the camp noticed that some thing had been dragged into the woods Curiosity prompted him to follow it, and he finally came to where something had been buried. Collecting some neighbors they dug in and were mortified to find the body of 3 man who they recognized as one of the men in the wagon. The officers of Lee county, who are ever on the alert, put out for the man. They followed him all over the coun- try, via Clarendon, Stuttgart, Pine Bluff, and finally to Hot Springs, where they caught him. They started home with him, but at Lo. noke the murderer made his escape. The officers called into service the whole community, and some with bloodhounds, but could get no trace of him.
 At the end of week the men came home and everybody thought the matter was forgotten, but the sheriff had one of his deputies on the road, and after two years his dili- gent search was rewarded.
 Craig, the man who murdered the man who had so kindly offered to let him ride with him, was found in the United States army in Kansas or Missouri. He was arrested and brought to Marianna, and had been in jail ever since, with the con tinuous changes of venue and all the other law delays, ntil night be- fore last he and two negroes made their escape. Altht ugh the proof was positive of his killing the mover, his trial had been postponed un- necessarily long.

 JENNINGS, FLA, August 29.-A peculiar drowning accident occurred here. A. F. Fields the station agent of the Georgia, Southern & Florida Railway, was bathing with a party of friends in the Alapaha river, near the village. The river is full of rapids, whirlpools, eddies and subterranean outlets, which come to the surface many miles distant in the form of springs. Fields swan out from shallow water into the current where he was suddenly caught in whirl- pool and drawn under before his companions were aware of his danger. The body did not rise again, and the people there think that the river will never give it up, but that 1t will appear sooner or later in some one of the "sinks" which discharge the waters of the river through those mysterious under. ground passages. Fields was young man and mem Der of tie Order of Railway Photographers.

DON'T GET ALARMED.
Ex-Surgeon General Hamilton Gives His
 Views on the Cholera Invasion.
SANITARY REGULATIONS
Are Better Looked After Than Ever Be- fore--A Panic More Dangerous Than the Epidemic
 Keep Cool.

CHICAGO, August 27-John s. Hamilton, ex-Surgeon- General of the Marine Hospital service, and at present in the Marine Hospital service here, sounds the note of warning to those health officials in the country who are doing much to convince the public that cholera is near at hand. Professor Hamilton takes the view that while there is no danger, there is absolutely no occasion for alarm. Unnecessary and repeated warnings, he says, are liable to produce a panic and result in resulting in justice. In answer to a question on the subject of cholera, Professor Hamilton said: "I think there is no occasion for alarm, although there is every reason for extreme vigilance on the part of those intrusted with the management of our sanitary matters.
 National and local boards have better sanitary arrangements than ever before. Laws are more practi- cable and sanitary science of more resources than formerly. Sanitary officers throughout the country are fully on the alert, but some of them seem to forget that the most impor- tant duties of an officer charged with the sanitary administration is the prevention of panic. A panic, which paralyzes industries and dries up the channels of trade, does al most as much harm as the epidemic tself"
