SWALLOWED HIS BEADS.
The Strange Notion of a Crazy
Man In Philadelphia.

He Believes That the Salvation of His
Soul Depended Upon Swallowing a
Rosnry--Terribly Injured by the At
tempt.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 5.-Half crazed
with drink, James Mullin, of No. 1919
Wood street, endeavored to swallow a
rosary yesterday, fanatically imagining
that the salvation of his soul depended
upon the accomplishment of the strange
feat.
Mullin is 3s years old, cigarmaker,
and has been living with family
named Gallagher at the Hood street
house, but for the past few days he has
been on a protracted debauch and de-
veloped violent form of religious
frenzy. He borrowed set of rosary
beads from his landlady, Mrs. Gallagher,
yesterday afternoon, and shortly after
lay down on the sofa, presumably to
say his prayers. His real object, how
ever, was to carry out the strange fancy,
or duty" which had taken possession
of his muddled brain.
PUSHED DOWN WITH STICK.
The rosary was 10 inches long, and
appended TO it was large brass cross.
He poked the beads down his throat
successfully, but found great difficulty
in making the cross follow, but with a
stick eight or nine inches in
length. he finally pushed that down too.
He continued to force the beads with
the stick until the latter was also half
way down his windpipe.
Mullin then obtained another and
larger stick, and was in the act of send
ing it after the first, when little girl of
Mrs. Gallagher's happened into the
room. She Immediately sounded the
alarm, and William Burdock, living
next door, rushed across the street to
the Ninth district sub-station, and ap-
prised the officers. Sergeant Green and
several of the officers hurriedly bundled
the man into the patrol wagon and drove
OIL to the Hahnemann Hospital.
TERRIBLE WOUNDS OF THE THROAT.
At the hospital DR.. Dacey forced Null
Inns mouth open, and succeeded in
catching hold of the cross, which had
lodged In his larnyx, and pulling them
out The beads followed, and with them
large volume Of blood and bits of torn
flesh. After a time the man recovered
sufficiently TO state to the doctor that he
had had as revelation from God, COM
handing him to swallow rosary if he
valued his souls salvation.
Mullin now lies at the hospital in q
dangerous condition.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. This is the
day on which Roswell P. Flower
assumed the functions of the chief
executive so long welded by David B.
Hill. The inaugural ceremonies were
hold in the Assembly chamber, which
was gorgeously decorated with Ameri-
can flags, bunting and potted plants.
The streets along the line of march were
crowded, and on many private resi-
dences the American flag was gener-
ously displayed. The military display,
in accordance with MIR. Flowers ex-
pressed wish, was simple. The process
sion stopped at the State street entrance
of the capitol, where Mr.. Flower and the
direct escort entered, being met by his
staff. They proceeded to the executive
chamber, where they met Governor Hill
and staff, who formally received Mr..
Flower. The party then proceeded to
the Assembly chamber, where they were
enthusiastically received. Secretary of
State Rice administered the oath of Office
to Mr. Flower and Lieutenant-governor
Sheehan. The ceremonies were brought
to close by Bishop Doane pronouncing
benediction.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Jan. A Republic
special from Helena, Mont, says: A
stage coach between Bonner Frey and
Keotenai station, in Missoula county,
near Idaho, was held up Saturday night
by three men who went through the
passengers and secured a quantity of
jewelry and some money.
The heaviest loser was Ed. L. Buntley
of Chicago, travelling man for whole
sale clothing house in that city. He
lost watches and diamonds which he
says were worth $4,000. Buntley has
been travelling In Flat Head county and
thinks the job was done on his account.
There were three feet of snow on the
ground and the stage was on runners.
About 6 o'clock, in the tall timber,
three masked men stopped the coach
and presenting revoivers made the pas
sengers, four men and two women, hold
up their hands. Contrary to the estab-
lished precedent, the women were robbed
as well as the men.

SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Jan. 2.-The
grip, which has been prevailing here
this winter, has begun to affect horses,
and large numbers of them are sick.
Infirmaries for animals are filled with
sick horses.
The appearance of the disease, in
horses, is marked by Discrimination
for food, rough coat, repugnance for
water in the early stages and feverish
appetite for il later, running at the eyes,
and finally swelling of the glands of the
nose, throat and other respiratory
organs. The disease seems to be con-
fined to San Francisco and vicinity, as
no cases have been reported from the
interior states. Unless the disease "a
checked the swelling and'aeeumulation
of pus closes the tubers of the thfoat
and suffocation ensues.

DENVER, Jan. 4.-Dr. Graves en-
phatically repudiates the alleged confess
sion published here yesterday. He says
he did not tell anything to Deputies
Wilson and Means, and declares that
Ballou is gentleman and truthful In
every respect. Few people here believe
the confession story.
In an interview to-day DIR. Graves
denied that he had wished to state in
evidence that he had sent bottle of
good whisky to Mrs. Barnaby, and said
that Colonel Ballou came here at his
earnest solicitation. He then continued:
"while was lying here asleep Deputy
Wilson came in and woke me up, stating
he had just come from District Attorney
Stevens and that Mr.. Stevens advised
that | should make u confession impli-
eating Ballou and that it would help me
out more than anything else. refused
to make any statement and he went
away"
Deputy Sheriff Wilson still maintains
that the doctor confessed but Deputy
Means refused to either confirm or deny
what the doctor is alleged to have said.
When the jury meets Colonel Ballou's
ulSllV Will Dt tOustuClCu. IL 10 CA p6Cltu
that he will be indicted within the next
few days.
Mrs. Ballou is here and is quite i'll,
but has not gone insane as was Mt first
reported, DIR. Graves wife has at times
since the verdict been out of her head
and to-day has grown worse and is con-
tinually raying about the doctors being
hung The relatives in Providence have
been sent for to take charge of her. The
doctors gray haired motheris Frustrated
with grief at her hotel, but bears the
trouble with greater fortitude than the
DOCTORS wife.
1t has been charged by the defence
that the jury was unduly influenced
during the trial by having access to the
daily papers, but this is strenuously
denied by the twelve jurors.
Another sensation developed to-day.
Colonel Daniel Ballou of Providence,
being missing, he took the Rock Island
train for Chicago when the verdict was
rendered, and probably arrived there
this morning. This Is admitted by the
proprietors of the Vallejo, where the
lawyer was stopping. All last night
reporters kept constant vigil at the
apartment house. A detective was en-
ployed to watch him, but he escaped
their vigilance and left the city.
