4 Priests Crime and tho Dloodshct It
Eventually Caused.
New ionK, Jan. l7.-According to the
correspondent of the Herald at Santa
Anna, San Salvador, the scandalous
conduct OF Il priest in the little village
OF Teacalco has resulted in two mur-
ders, and the people there arc so ex-
cited that more bloodshed may be cx-
pectcd. In the village Jail are thirty

crimes.
The prettiest girl in the village was
recently botrothed to Adrian Garcia,
and pending the arrangements ior their
marriage the young man commended
his iiancc to the care OF the priest ut the
village church. The girl was betrayed
by tho priest. She confessed to her
lover, and on Thursday Garcia shot the
priest. Immediately aitcrward he sur
rendered himself to the village authors
tics and was locked up in jail.
All the religious fanatics OF tho town
were aroused by the shooting OF the
priest. They refused 10 believe the
story and demanded that Garcia be
turned over to them for summary
punishment for numbering the priest.
On Friday night mob surrounded
the Jail for tho purpose OF securing Gar
Gin and wruaking vengeance upon him.
The officer at tho jail refused to sur
render his prisoner, whereupon the

m. Justas it was leaving tho city thrco
intoxicated men named Wm. Reardon,
Albert Burnzen and John Van Nouis,
who arc employed by z. G. Ardte, Of
Albany, in breaking up old engines,
boilers, ETC., rushed on board throwing
their chisels, crowbars, and sledgcs on
the platform OF the buffet car. They
were very rude and boistorous and i'm
mediately took charge OF the car.
Chief Detective Humphrey was on tho
train and said to thcln, "Why don't you
behave yourselvesw 4S
Burnzen grabbed Humphrey and en-
deavorcd to push him of the car, Hum
phrey said, "look out, I'm an officer
At this Reardon advanced on Hum
phrey, and Humphrey drew his revolver
touso it as club. Van Nouis reached ior
one OF his big chisels, but Humphrey
succeeded in getting Rcardon on tho
cur, threw him down, and held him on
4 aseat, while some OF tho passengers and {
brakemen held the others back, and
Reardon got quiet. Mr.. Humphrey had I,
his wife and child on the train in rear
car, and went back to SEQ them. While
he was talking with his wifo Conductor
McCarrick, OF tho train, entered
the car and said TO the chief: "They
arc fighting with knives in the buffet
car" This was at Hudson. Chief
Humphrey went to tho buffet car and
found two OF tho toughs on the floor.
Reardon was on top OF Burnzen, both
lunsing at each other with knives. The
passengers shouted at Humphrey, say
ing: "They want to kill you, look :
out" When Reardon saw Humphrey
he started for him with uplifted knife,
exclaiming. 81 will kill YOU" Hum
phrey clutched with him and threw
him on his back, and dragged him
through the buffet car into the bag
gage car, and. with assistance, managed 1
to tic the desperate with q bell cord.
BY this time the whole train was in
an uproar. Women turned pale with I
excitement anu men rushed forward
from every car. Chief Humphrey had
just seated himself alongside OF his
wifo for the second time when the con-
ductor and several passengers again Z
came into the car in a hurry, exclaim-
ing, "Rcardon has 4 knife and is COM
ing to kill YOU, having cut himself
loose and driven. eight or ten mon
out OF the baggage car. Chief
Humphrey hurried to the front of
the coach and saw Reaardon coming
running through the car with coat and
oil, with blood streaming from his face
and an uplifted knife in his hand. Tho
conductor shut the car door and held it. 4
Mr.. Humphrey pulled out his revolver. Z.
opened the car door and seized Rearion
and took his knifc away from him, the
conductor assisting. Humphrey
dragged his man through the buffet car
again and took him into the baggage car.
and tied him with tho bell cord, and
remained with him until the train
reached Poughkeepsie, when Chief
Humphrey had all three OF the men
locked IN.

TIE NIGHT on

III New York Between Senator Hill and
Cleveland.
SYRACUSE. n. Y, Jan. 1.-THE Demo-
Gratis OF Cnondaga county are on the
skirmish line OF the presidential cam.
paign yesterday. Democratic caucuses
were called at noon for the election OF
city committeeman and delegates to the
city convention IN all tho wards OF the
city. 1t has been apparent for several
days that ex-AIayor Thomas Ryan in
tended to make fight against the rcgu.
lar organization headed by State Com
mitteeman W. B. Kirk. Tho point>to
be attained was the control OF the CITY
committee, which q month or so hence
will call the caucuses for making the
delegates to the state convention, who
choose the delegates to the national
convention. In this contest, therefore,
was involved the question OF Cleveland
or Hill.
Ex-Mayor Ryan is the acknowledged
Hill leader in this section. 1t has been
known for daysthat when the city eau
cuses were held Mr.. Ryan would be
heard from. but his opposition to the
machine took step altogether unex-
pected. a little before noon q number
OF cutters drew up before the court
house, and each was entered by sher-
ifs officer, who carried in his inside
pocket al injunction restraining the
holding OF the caucus. The order bore
the signature OF County Judge A. Judd
Northrup. There was 4 separate order
for each ward in tho city, and they
were granted upon application OF Colo
nel L. S. Jenny in behalf of ex-AFayor
Ryan and Police Commissioner Edward
d. Lewis.
At the meeting OF the city committee
Saturday evening Mr.. Ryan protested
against the holding OF the caucuses to-
day as being in violation OF chapter oG5
of the laws OF 1857, which require q
two days notice 10 the electors.

Special DEpc'rh 0he IR!clliGcHcT.
WAsnIHGroS, D. c., Jan. 17.-Nearly
onc.third OF the force at The Washing
ton navy yard was employed to-day,
Notwithstanding it was Sunday, in the
work OF completing the six, eight and
ten-inch guns now in process OF con-
struction. This is the first Sunday
work that has been done for long
time, and bears out the general impress
sion that the President believes con-
fict with Chile to be inevitable.
The intelligence received at Washing
ton is 10 the effect that Chile is pre-
pairing for war rs rapidly as Tho United
States, and this fact will probably be
touched upon in the forthcoming mes
cage OF the President to congress.
The officers OF the Chilean navy who
have heretofore been successful in Tor
pedo warfare believe that they can de-
stroy by means OF torpedoes any fleet
that this government can send into
Chilean waters. They are anxious for
IN opportunity to do this, and their
counsel is all for war, consequently
it is improbable that the Chileans
will attempt to make anything like q
satisfactory reply to the United States,
and their present attitude is one invit-
ing attack.
President Montt would like to have a
peaceful settlement but he cannot bring
it about in the face OF the opposition OF
the officials, who surround him. The
message OF the President to Congress
is awaited with anxious interest, though
1t may not be transmitted until after
the cabinet meeting ON Tuesday next.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 7.-Secre-

United States war.ship Yorktown, at
Valparaiso. Chile, in regard to the Bal
maccdist refugees put aboard that ves-
Fel by United States Minister Egan and
the Spanish minister:

The American minister informs me
that the Chilean minister OF foreign al

A!alrs; in deciding that thcNreiugces

New YonE, Jan. l7.-"Jacll tho
Slasher," that mysterious individual
who, since December %, has roalncd
abou! the lower section OF tho city at
night cutting the throats Of drunken
men with his ready razor, has been cap
tured.
Tho prisoner is Henry G. Dowd, an
Englishlnan, born in Liverpool, and who
came to this country when boy. Dowd
was arrested between . and 3 o'clock
this morning. He has been confronted
by John Clark, OF Elizabeth, n. j.,
whose throat was cuton tho 9th instant,
and positively identified by him as his
assailant. Dowd then confessed, adj.
mittiug also that he murdered John
Carson, the Baltimore lawyer, who was
found on the street last Thursday morn
ing with his throat cut from ear to car.
Then he retractcd this end doggedly
refused to talk. The prisoner is now in
u cell at police headquarters.
The oltention OF the police was called
to tho operations oil the "Slasher" when
John Helm had his throat cut on De
cember %. Then followed the cases OF
Louis Lawson, John Clark, George Will
liams and Edward Christensen. All OF
these were under like CIRCUMSTANCES.
Then came the Carson murder last
week. Inspector Byrncs was thorough
ly aroused.
Twenty OF his most experienced de-
tectives were put on to watch the down
town section. Policeman Masterson
was standing in plain clothing OIL the
corner of Chambers and Roosevelt
streets shortly after . o'clock this morn
ing when he saw q strange man ap-
proach him from the opposite side OF
the street. In few minutes the po-
licenlan saw Il drunken man approach
ing, The man he was watching saw the
drunken man at the same time and
walked toward him. Near James street
the policeman saw the stranger raise
his arm, grab the drunken man by the
neck. and in Z moment after saw the
drunken man sink to the sidewalk with
out word. The stranger darted away
with the policeman in hot pursuit. The
latter was joined by other officers and
the fellow was run down. In the mans
hand was razor covered with blood.
Tho wounded man, whose name is Will
liam Miller, was in scmi-conscious
condition
In Byrnes' private room the man con-
fcsscd 10 some OF his crimes He said
the impulse to kill under certain cir
cumstances was uncomfortable. He
said he wanted to kill all the Germans.
a Germanhad once ravished his mother
in her Brooklyn home. The face OF the
rayisher still haunted him and wherever
he saw man who looked like the one
he was pursuing he tried to kill him. :"
"Why did YOU kill Carson?" asked
Inspector Byrnes. she was not 4 Ger
man."
II could not help it," was the reply.
Then said he, quickly, "Oh, l did not do
it at all. ;"
The prisoner comes OF good family.
His mothers sister married Samuel n.
Hoyt, the millionaire, whose will was
stubbornly contested by his daughter,
Mary Irene 1ioyt.
About fifteen years ago Dowd was
placed in the Flatbush asylum forinsane,
but he escaped. These facts were OBJ
tanned from the prisoners brother, John
j. Dowd, who is q crank suffering from
religious mania. he was also put
under arrest.

PirrsDURGH, Jan. 17.-Within the

Farm mine at Dunbar will probably be
solved. Within that time the miners
who had been working for months arc
expected 10 penetrate the right heading,
whcro twenty-five miners arc known to
have been entembed on that fateful
June morning in 1890. In the dip head

All these months Mine Boss poran
has been at work with his forces
quonching the fire and lowering the

be compressed within a small area,
though it will take perhaps yoars 70
finally extinguish it, as ii is supplied
with air from humorous fissures which
can not be smothercd.
Months will be consumed before tho
