Alice Mitchell Case, This Time Near
Altoona.
ALTOONA, March 81. - -CSpecia1. ] - The
mystery surrounding the shooting of Emma
Fox, on Gospel Hill, last night, was solved

became acquainted with the family of Mr.
George Boale, who then resided on Broad
street, ard took a great liking for Mr.
Boale's daughter, Miss Birdie, being in her
company on every available occasion. Some
time ago, when the family of Mr. Boale was
stricken with diphtheria and scarcely any
one would go near them, Miss Fox cared
faithfully for her friend.
After all the family had either died or
recovered from the disease, the girl at times
spent several days with them, and although
the companionship of the two girls never
ripened into close friendship on Miss
never entirely happy or appeared satisfied
unless she was in her company. She
seemed to be perfectly infatuated with her
At length Mr.. Boale forbade his daughter
to accompany Miss Fox on the street, but
she continued to call at his house, and no
matter where Miss Boale would CO. Miss
Fox was likely to meet and accompany her
home.
This state of affairs continued until last
evening, when Miss Boale and a sister-in-
law had been downtown and were return
ing home. They noticed they were being
followed, and were soon Joined by Miss
Fox, who drew revolver and said: "Birdie,
here I go for the last time" fired one shot
and fell to the ground in the agonies of
death. The two women screamed and ran
around to the back door of their home. In
short time persons came running to the
scene and found Miss Fox lying on the
ground unconscious, while the weapon with
which the deed had been committed, 32-
caliber revolver, was lying on the ground a
short distance away.
Physicians were summoned, and the am
bulance called, but she died in few
minutes without regaining consciousness
The Coroner's jury to-day rendered their
verdict Of suicide, assigning no cause for
the deed.

FAITH CURE IN MEXICO.
A WONDERFUL WOMAN WHO HEALS
BY LAYING ON OF HANDS.

Her Patients Call Her Saint-She Takes
No Pay for Her Services. and is Kept
Busy All the Time-Theresa Urea, a
Female Mollinger.
GUYAMAs, MEXICO, March 3O-[ Special. ]
1t has now been nearly four months since
the reports began reaching here of the mi
raculous cures of all diseases effected by a
young Mexican woman, Theresa UREA, who
lives on the Santa de CABRERA ranch, about
100 miles west of here, in the heart of the
Sierra Madre range of mountains. The
nearest town to her home is Trinidad, some
Is miles, She cures by the simple laying
on of hands, and is called saint by the
thousands of ignorant Mexicans and Indians
who have learned her wonderful powers.
She was visited by THE DISPATCH cor
respondent three weeks ago. The scene at
the humble ranch home battles description.
Living in improvised jacals and tents all
along the mountain side from Trinidad
to the wonderful woman's home were
thousands of decrepit, diseased and haggard
looking Mexicans who were patiently await
ing their turn to be cured of their re-
spective Affections.
Saint Theresa, as she is called, is II years
of age, has a strikingly beautiful face,
straight black hair, and was dressed IN the
pIainest kind of q wooden garb. She stated
that she was first made aware of her won.
derful power five months ago, and while she
firmly believes it is divine gift. yet she is
at a loss to account for it being given to her
any more than to any one else. She per-
forms her miraculous cures by merely
placing her hand on the head of the person
afflicted, and giving the command to arise
and depart in health.
A stream of unfortunate sick people
poured through her room during The Dis
PATCH correspondents visit, among them
being men and women afflicted with rheu-
matism and many cripples. All who
have submitted themselves to her magic
treatment claim to have been instantly
cured. Three cases of leprosy and seven of
smallpox are among those which the strange
claims to have cured. She will ac-
cept no money or gifts of any kind in pay
ment for her services. The whole States of
Sonora and chihuahua are excited over the
unexplained power which Theresa Urea
seems to possess.

She Now Asks That Uncle Sam Keep Her
Little River in Repair.
WASHINGTON, March 31.-A delegation
of Chicago railroad and steamboat men,
composed of T. T. Morford, j. S. Dunham
and Hugh Mcmillan, argued before the
House Committee on Rivers and Harbors
this morning in favor of a proposition to
repeal the law of 1890, which exempted the
Government from any supervision over the
improvement of the Chicago river, and
left it to the care of the city.
The delegation asserted that the
bridges and docks along the river front
were constantly encroacning upon the chan
mel and blocking traffic, and that it fire.
quently happened that one steamer dis
charging or loading cargo would interfere
greatly with the passage of other craft 1t
was argued that this had been going on for
years, and that the Government should take
a hand in the matter and prevent this inter-
ference to commerce and trade.
The delegation also thought the Govern
ment should provide for dredging the river
in certain places, and stated that many of
the dock owners had to dredge in front of
their property every year, in order to have
sufficient depth of water.

A SOLDIER LYNCHED.

Lytle, the Veteran Fiend at FindIay, Hanged
After Midnight-The Laborious Attack
on the Jail.
FINDLAY, O., March 31.-Joseph Lytle,
the old soldier who mangled his wife and
two daughters yesterday, died at the hands
of mob about o'clock this morning. A
mob of about 1000 men surrounded the
Jail. The windows of the Jail were broken,
but the cell of the prisoner could not be
reached by that means. Then the deter
mined men procured oil well drills and bat
tered down the doors, and the murderous
wretch was at their mercy. Lytle was per-
fectly game, and called the mob's attention
to his own cell as the one they wanted.
After working nearly an hour the cell door
was battered down and the doomed man
dragged out.
He was taken several blocks away to the
Main street bridge. A rope was furnished
and one end thrown over one of the top
girders Another moment and the body of
Lvtle swung in the air; only for a mo-
ment, however, as bullet from a revolver
cut the rope in two and the body fell The
mob then caught the end of the rope and
dragged the victim through the street about
200 feet, and again the rope was hoisted
over telegraph pole arm. As the body was
pulled up the second time dozen shots
were fired, and the end of the awful tragedy
came. The mob is said to have been COM
posed of the best citizens, but was poorly
organized.
Lytle had evidently expected the fate he
met, for he left note asking that his body
be turned over to his brother. and that it be
buried beside his mother. The authorities
had intended to secretly convey the prison.
er to suburb at 1 o'clock, where a train
was to have been taken for Lima, but their
plans we're frustrated by the vigilance of
the mob.

He Admits He Gambled, but Merely as a
Matter of Investment.
LONDON, March 3l.-William Dlnkel-
spiel, the American insurance man, whose
failure with liabilities of e27, 600, and assets
not worth 60, was announced yesterday,
blames a Mr.. Depinto, one of his London
creditors, to whom he owes e520, for his
misfortune. Dinkelspiel says:
Depinto had receiving order made against
me for $500, when the other creditors agreed
to private arrangement Depinto was con-
stantly my guest. He dined at my table and
claimed to be my friend. 1t appears to me
that his action was due simply to his desire
to obtain revenge for a supposed insult to his
family by failure to speak to his sister-in-
law at party.
True, lived high. but had to live up to
my class of business. Ny gambling was all
done in my own house. 1t was practically
nothing but an investment. 1t induced busi-
ness. invested f2 000 in this manner, while
earned in commissions during the last two
years over f16 000 My relations with Fisher
Smith, the London manager of the New
York Life Insurance Company were straight.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-General STAN
ley, commanding the Department of Texas,
has made report to General Schofeld in
regard to the case of Captain j. g. Bourke,
Third Cavalry, from which it appears that
the charges against that officer in connec-
tion with the Cara campaign were pre-
ferred by Mexican citizens, who, although
residing in Texas, disavowed any allegiance
to the United States, and, Notwithstanding
this fact, and the further fact that they
aided and abetted Garza's band in the in
surrection against the Mexican Government,
assert that they are entitled to the protec-
tion of this Government General Stanley
added that these men were now being pros
ecuted by the civil authorities of Texas for
violation of the neutrality laws.
General Schofeld said this afternoon that
he had submitted the case to the Secretary
of War, with the recommendation that no
action be taken by the military authorities
with regard to the charges against Captain
Bourke until after the conclusion of the
civil proceedings against his accusers.

A Baltimore Man Claims the Invention Of

BALTIMORE. March 31.-Prof VIM. R.
Will, of this city, says he believes the war
balloons from which the Germans have
been observing the Russian fortifcations
and armies, are his own invention.
He declares the descriptions of the
balloons in the dispatches from Europe
coincide exactly with plans which he per-
fected some time ago and submitted to Chief
Won Lindenberg, of the aeronautical de-
partment of the German army.
The German Government, he states, kept
his plans long beyond the time set for their
return in case of rejection, and few weeks
after they were sent back to him the news
that the novel balloons were hover
ing over Russia was received. He asserts
that he is convinced the Germans have ap-
propriatcd an American invention without
