Cured early this evening at the home
of Theodore Blakesley, on ChnrcE
street, West side. A stranger called al

James Fox, who rooms at the Blakesley
home. He was admitted and shown
up stairs to the room of Fox. \
few moments later the inmates of tho
lower floor heard scuffle, and MIR.
Blakesley went up to see what was the
trouble. A short time afterward the
stranger came down, and, after telling
Mrs. Blakesley to 20 up stairs, took his
departure. The woman found her hu5'
band and Fox both lying in pools
of blood, which was flowing from
terrible wounds in the head, in

are still unconscious, with little
hopes of recovery. As yet no motive
for the crime has developed. A mau

picion, but he denies that he was near
the house. Mrs Blakesley says he is

Detective Sinnott Meets a
Horrible Death From the
Awful Shock.

VALPARAISO, Dec. 25.-Diplomatic
relations between Chill and Argentina
may be seriously interrupted. A CORE
spondent at Buenos Ayres telegraphs
that serious trouble is likely to grow out
OF pamphlet recently written by Mr..
Guerrero, the Chilian minister TO Ar
geFina. and Bnoni Tupper. These
two represented the Chilian junta de
gotsierno in Venezuela during the rev.
olution against Balmaceda's govern
ment. Tie said pamphlet, which may
cause war between Chill and Argen-
tina, says that they used certain sums of
money in bribing telegraph operators to
reveal the secrets sent to Europe by
Balmaceda during the revolution in
1891. These statements are regarded to
be insults to the Argentine Republic.
La Naeion, leading newspaper in
BuenOS Ayres, in long editorial on the
ramplet, vehemently suggests that the
government demand the
Withdrawal of Guerrero
as Chill an minister. La Nacion says
that the government must defend the
honor of the public and insist that
Chilli shall not be represented by man
whose record has been smirched. Min
lister Guerrero at Boenos Ayres, in an
interview OH the affair, insisted that
the statements in the pamphlet were
correct, but said they were printed
upon the responsibility of Mr.. Tupper.
He said he had no reply to make to the
attacks in the newspapers. The affair
is causing great excitement in Argen-
tina. Exchange has fallen. A meeting
of congress was held, at which consid-
cradle feeling was displayed. Congress
will request the government to give full
details of the controversy. 1t is re-
ported that the president has ordered
Argentina's charge d'affaireS at Santi>
ago to
Demand an Explanation
from the government of Chill and to
ask the recall of Minister Guerrero as
persona non grata. The police of
Buenos Ayres today arrested number
0fpersons who are charged with con-
Spiracy against the government. The
fact that war is probable gives emphasis
to my former cable suggesting that a
United States war ship be kept in
Chilian waters. A telegram from
Montevideo says that the band of Castl
histas from Rio Grande do Sui, Brazil,
eluded the entire guard and have ar
rived at Rivera. They killed the
federalist general. who had sought ref
uge on Uruguayan territory. The affair
has caused great excitement ard an en-
gagement between Uruguayan troops
and the-Casti lhistas will probably take
place.

1T HELPS LABOR.
Important Decision by Judge in
Georgia. s


MACON, Ca. Dee. 25..Judge Emory
Speer, of the United States court, rem.
dered decision yesterday in the case
of the striking telegraphers OH the Cen
tral railroad against the receiver. Judge
Speer said that the fact that man was
a member of a labor organization was
no reason for his discharge. On the
motion of the strikers asking the court
to reinstate them in their positions,
Judge Speer decided in their favor so
far as to order the receiver to replace
all the men, except where their posi-
tions had been filled. In one sense this,
is complete victory for the labor Or
carnations, inaSmuch as 1t establishes
the precedent that laborer cannot be
discharged for the sole reason that he
has allied himself to labor unions.
Judge Speer stated that there had been,
very inconsiderate action on both sides.
The case against Haggard and Heppi-
nestall for contempt was postponed I'M
til after the holidays.

A Queer Creature Dead.

Mason Evans, the much paragraphed
"wild man" of Monroe county, is dead.
The fatal grip took him off. Evans had
been great curiosity in this section for
more than forty years, during which
time he had roa1ned in the woods. apart
from the comforts of civilization, sub
sisting on roots and herbs dug from the
earth, with an occasional fowl surrepti-
tiously taken from some convenient
barnyard. He was captured several
times but always managed to escape.
Beven or eight years ago he was captured
by some fearless fellow with an enter
prising turn of mind for the purpose OF
entering him in a dime museum as the
"Wild man of Borneo."
When taken his body was as hairy as
that of bear and covered with filth
and vermin. His eye CLEANED like the
eye of d maniac and he had almost lost
the power of speech. For twenty years
he lived in a cave of the Chilhowee
mountains, and was never known to
have spoken word during that time.
He lived in II state of nudity, and was
fond of raw meat.
Those who know his history say that
he was born in Monroe county, near
Hiwassee college, in 1927 or thereabout
He was of good family and received a
splendid education. At about twenty
years of age he was engaged in teaching
school, and in the meantime fell in love
with handsome young lady of his
neighborhood. She received his atten-
tions with apparent favor. One night
he called and asked her to become his
wife. She said ''No." He went out into
the darkness and it was many years be-
fore he was seen again, and then he fled
from his fellow men like frightened
deer.-Cor. Chattanooga Times.

Literally Death by Inches,

. A Los Angeles physician told us the
other day that the most trying time in
all his experience was during the past
five weeks, when he stood hopelessly by
and saw poor ranchnan near Puente
die by inches Of what is known as pro-
gressive paralysis. The patient was first
affected in one big toe. In short time
the limb was paralyzed to the knee.
Two physicians were called, and all the
known remedies were applied to stay
the progress of the deadening attack,
but in vain. Hour by hour death moved
on its victim. The patient was propped
up in an armchair and fully realized
his condition. He awaited the end with
the GOODNESS and bravery of a martyr.
AS the line of death crept nearer and
nearer his heart he made calculations as
to how much longer he could live. He
said, Now it has reached the body
indicating the exact place with his
finger. In a little while he said. 1T
has reached the bottom of my lungs.
Another short wait and he said family,
at has touched my heart" and he fell
over dead. Express.

SILVER'S FUTURE.
The Shelving of the Bland Bill Eel
Abroad.

The Shelving of the Bland Bill Felt
Abroad.
New YORK, March 2S.-The Herald's s
London correspondent cables his paper ::
The shelving of the Bland silver bill by
congress is a greater blow than the peo-
pie on this side care to admit. True,
they never believed unreservedly in its
success, but had much hope, and now
the difficulties of the silver question are
beginning to be appreciated. No one
cares to express any definite opinion in
regard to the future, even the best expe-
rienced being altogether bewildered.
The greatest dealer in silver said to
me: 81 cannot tell anything about the
future of silver. We suppose things
will just drift for while. The demand
for the metal is small and not likely to
increase much, while the supplies,
strange to say, do not fall off, despite
the fact that the price Is now at the
lowest point of record"
Nor did one of the leading English
economists, with whom 1 had conver-
sation on the subject, feel differently.
but the feeling prevails that some ac-
tion will soon become necessary if the
United States does not adopt free coin
age. This although regarded as preju-
dicial to the United States, is acknowl-
edged to be of immense value to India.

PINoLE, CAL, March 2S.-An explosion
occurred at the California Powder
works this morning, entirely destroying
the nitroglycerine mixing house. All
the buildings OF the works were more or
less damaged. The cause was the over
heating of one OF the air-heaters.
Four thousand, five hundred pounds
of nitroglycerine were destroyed. Four
men were at work in the building, and
when the foreman saw there was no
possibility of preventing the accident he
gave the alarm to his fellow-workmen
and they made good their escape.
The shock was telt for miles around
and soon messengers came pouring in
from all directions, making inquiry
either for friends of relatives, who were
at work for the powder company. The
total loss of property will reach twenty
thousand dollars.
The Oregon express was just rounding
the curve when the explosion took place,
and the passengers jumped to their feet
and thought dynamiters were at work.
Pieces of the destroyed building were
picked up two miles distant.

A NARROW ESCAPE,
Officer Gus Smith Averts What Might
Have Been Terrible Accident.

Have Been Terrible Accident.
The Rev. H. w. Bowman, the evan
gelist clergyman, known as "The Boy
Preacher" S. w. Chase, the contractor,
and Mrs. A. j. Bradley, wife of the east
side grocer, had very narrow escape
from serious injury yesterday afternoon
about 3 O'Clock, in front of the Hoffman
House, on North Main street.
The parties named were in a two
seated covered surrey to which were at
tached two lively young colts. At the
corner OF Main and Arcadia streets the
spirited animals became frightened and
unmanageable. Mr.. Chase, who was
driving, being unable to control them.
they came in contact with VIM. Lacy,
jr.'s buggy. which was standing in front
of Wells Fargo & Co.'s Office, partially
wrecking the same, and continued their
course up Main street. In front of the
engine house the horses rushed on the
sidewalk, upsetting the surrey and
dragging the occupants along the pave
ment. Officer Gus Smith who happened
to be in close proximity to the accident,
stopped the wild career of the ami
mails by seizing the horses by
the bits, and having himself carried
along some distance. It was lucky that
officer Smith was near, as the occupants
of the surrey would certainly have been
frightfully hurt or probably killed if the
runaway had not been checked at the
time it was. When the two gentlemen
and Mrs. Bradley were taken from the
debris of the wrecked vehicle it was as
certained that the Rev. Bowman had
received fracture of the left leg below
the knee. DIR. j.. J. Choate was in inn
mediate attendance and pronounced the
injury only " slight tne. Mrs. Bradley
and Mr.. Chase fortunately escaped with

plices have been arrested, but the police
are unable to capture him. Notwith.
standing this, reporter for the Gaulois

says the Anarchists have sufficient dyna-

EULENBURG's FIRST ACT.

Consideration of the Education Bill In
definitely Postponed.
BERLIN, March 2S.-In the lower
house of the Prussian diet, Count Won
Eulenburg, the newly-appointed presi-
dent of the Prussian council, made a
statement, in which he justified the
separation of the imperial chancellor
ship from the presidency of the Prussian
ministry. Continuing, he said that in
view of the fact that the discussion of
the primary education bill had created
such serious and irreconcilable differ
ences, and as no satisfactory result
could be expected at present, the gov
eminent would refrain from insisting
upon further consideration OF the bill.
But, he added, the government would
reserve the right to call up the bill in
the future without overstepping the
limits of the constitution.
1t is said that the reichstag will be
indefinitely prorogued this week, as will
also be the landtag.

quest of the board that he file specific
complaint for any matters needing adju-
dication, he says: SIN our organic law
there is no prescribed method as to how

fortunately, the Traffic association is
unable to invest me with authority to

Leeds goes on to say that by the atti.

ton from the power which created the
board, by throwing the burden of proof
upon others, when the board itself
