News.
PARIS, Nov. 4.--Another great sensa-
ion has developed in the Deacon case.
As soon as the tribunal of the Seine de-
ivered its decision dismissing Mrs. Dea-
;on's suit for divorce, and ordering that
he eldest child, then in a convent, be
delivered up to Mr. Deacon, Mrs. Deacon
fastened secretly TO the convent of Our
lady of the Assumption in the depart
nent of the MaIne, bent upon carrying
)ff the child and thus both defying the
authority of the French court and baf-
fling Mr.. DeacOn.t
The sympathies of the nuns Of the
convent and of the people of the neigh
borhood have been with Mrs. Deacon,
who was known to the latter as LA
Princesse Americana" and was much
beloved for her goodness and kindness
TO the poor and suffering. When Mrs
Deacon arrived the news of the court S
decision was unknown at the convent
and Mrs. Deacon was admitted as usual.
But little is known of what occurred
within the walls.
Mrs Deacon had a carriage at the gate
and she seemed calm and serene as
usual evidently suppressing her emo
tions in order not to excite suspicion.
She asked and obtained leave to take the
elder of the children to ride and after
kissing the younger tenderly she walked
with the former to the carriage.
Mr.. Deacon drove up to the convent
shortly after his wife had gone. He
was amazed and maddened when he
learned the situation, but no more amazed
than the lady Superior when she learned
the strategy of the good Mrs. Deacon.
Mr.. Deacon at once appealed to the
police, who readily joined him in attempt
ing to overtake his wife. 1t seems
impossible that she could escape from
France as the police everywhere have
been warned to be on he lookout and tC
arrest her and the child wherever found.
Deacon is determined to get possession
of the child
Wrapped I'm Blazing Petroleum.
1t is said that the British bark Nor
cross which left Philadelphia October
for Rouen, France, with a load oi
petroleum has been burned in the Sien'
with loss of three and probably ter
lives. Captain Roop who was in com
mand of the Norcross had his wife with
him and both were saved.
How the fire originated is not known
When it was discovered it had gained
considerable headway and every effort t.
prevent it from spreading to the petrol
cum was in vain AS soon as the petrol
cum caught fire series of explosion
followed and q bright flame shot up il
the air while a dense smoke almost hi'
the barque from those on shore. Tn
crew who escaped the flames rushed t.
the side and leaped into the river.
The captains wife was saved chiefly b.
her husbands exertions. Five other
were also saved. The remains of thre
horribly burned, were found in the river
and seven others are missing.

by the burning petroleum which fOate,

A Horse Doctor Attempts TO Cure an
Invalid by Brutal Torture but BoiIs
Her Instead.
lBy Telegraph to the Evening Journall
CINCINNATI, Nov. A case of horri-
bic torture came to light yesterday.
For months Mary A. Kohacke. II years
old, had been an invalid, suffering from
dropsical consumption. The family
physician, pronounced the case hopeless,
but Tuesday Gustav Hoyer. horse
doctor and liniment ped6ler put in an
appearance and declared he could cure
the girl.
The parents having consented to the
treatment, he bought pack of timothy
hayseed, which he put into tub and
stepped IN boiling water He sat a small
chair in the water and made the girl sit
in il, covered with heavy blankets. The
hot steam burned her and she began
screaming. The mother and younger
sister tried to get her away, but the
horse doctor stood guard and forced the
girl to endure it for half an hour
Her screams alarmed the neighbors and
an excited crowd gathered, but the
doctor" would brook no interference.
Taking her from her torture of hot
steam he laid her on a bed. The Skin
hung from her legs in twisted strings
He bound the legs in linen bandages
drawing the rolls as tight as he could
Then he took pint bottle of horse lini
ment and saturated the bandages. Al
this the girls screams became terrific
but the doctor" said that was good fo
her. He ordered that she lay in bed witt
ten bandages on for three hours. Thl
girl lay and moaned till the mothe
could endure it no longer and remove
the bandages after they had been on bu
an hour. The strong liniment had com
pleted what the hot steam so well begun
and the legs resembled great chunks o
half-boiled meat.
For twenty-five hours the girl la
and moaned, never once closing her eye
and becoming at no time unconscious
At l o'clock this morning she died. Tn
Coroner was summoned and after view
ing the body, which was literally cooked
and learning the facts pronounced it tn
most fearful and agonizing case of tn
many that have come to his notice tn
father is almost frantic and declares h
will kill Hoyer, for whom warrants hav

Democrats. s'He lives at 1908 Washing

said the money was his sons and TO gC

the bets had been agreed upon, one oi
the Democrats said;

SETH LOW FOR CLEVELAND.

The President OF Columbia College and
Republican Ex-nIayOr of Brooklyn
VIII Vote for the Democratic Candi-
date.
IBy Telegraph TO the Evening Journall
NEW York, Nov. 4-Seth Low, pres
ident of Columbia College, said yesterday
that he had decided to vote for Mr.
Cleveland.
Mr.. Low has been one of the best
known Republicans in the state. and his
decision to cast his vote for Mr. Cleve-
land will have great weight with men
who think Independently upon the sub
iect of politics and who do not follow
the Republican party to the extreme
lengths it goes in its devotion to the
doctrine of protection.
Mr.. Low was twice elected mayor Of
Brooklyn as a Republican candidate, the
city then as now strongly Democratic,
and the opposing candidates men of
great strength in their party. No doubt
many men who followed Mr. Low in his
Brooklyn canvass will follow him now
and vote with him for Grover Cleveland.
Mr.. Low was asked last night if he
would give his reasons for deciding ia
vote for the Democratic candidate. He
said that he did not care to make any
public statement.
"The report is true" said Mr.. Low
Il intend to vote for Mr.. Cleveland, but
do not care to give out any statement
| in regard to the matter.
