PARIS, May 21,-Considerable excite
ment has been occasioned here by the
discovery of a dynamite cartridge at
the residence, in the Avenue Klebef,
of M. Beaupaire, the public prosecutor,
who had charge Of the case against

not display any fear Of what the

be. There is not the slightest doubt
that the cartridge was placed where 1t

cred before any damage was done.

Rather Gauzy Story from Canadian In

SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich, May 21.-
The Indian village of Garden River, on
the Canadian side, twelve miles from
here, is the scene of transactions quite
unusual. The trouble was caused by
the Inconsistency of q young Indian, the
beau of the reservation. He whispered
his affections to two young squaws and
then only married one of them. This
offended the mother of the Tilted
maiden, who is widow, old, wrinkled
and uncanny, and formerly a medicine
woman.
Suddenly the newly-married man be-
came violently i'll and had terrible
spasms. Wabnosh, the chief medicine
man Of the tribe, was summoned. He
pronounced it a clear case of witchery,
and said the old medicine woman had
previously bewitched those with whom
she was angry. Wabnosh thereupon
appealed to the Canadian reservation
authorities to search the old squaw' s
wigwam for the medicine bag. The
reservation officials refused to in
terfere. Wabnosh ana his supporters,
however, threaten to make search on
their own account, while the friends of
the old squaw and those who fear her
are as determined she shall not be mo-
Tested. Meanwhile the beFitched In
dian is said to be suffering all manner
of fortunes and is slowly dying. Trou-

TEST OF A SUBMARINE GUN,
Firing p Huge ProjectiIe Under the Sur
face of the Ocean.


New York, May 21.-Experiments
with the destroyer submarine gun,
which have been in contemplation for
several weeks were begun at the navy
yard, Brooklyn, yesterday. At dis
lance of ten feet nets of cord, about the
size of a clothes line, were stretched.
The destroyer's bow was 100 feet from
the first net. A charge of twenty-five
pounds of cocoa brown powder was used
for the first shot. When the gun
exploded there was a sound like a
snort and grunt, and the water swirled
about in great agitauon. The craft
kicked five feet backward, and there
was a sort of prolonged, hum-hke
whistle. A tremor or furrow on the
surface of the water marked the pas
sage of the twentv-f0ot projectile until
Just before it reached the first net, when
it rose and showed itself ike a big red
water snake as it shot over the net.
Then it sank little, again came to the
top and finally plunged into the second
net, 0 feet from the gun. There it
seemed to have a prolonged struggle
and finally sank.

THEY FILE A Big BOND.

The defendants in the celebrated case Of
M W. Fox VS.. the Hale s. Norcross Silver
Mining Company have filed notice of an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court from the judg-
ment rendered on June II last. in the
Superior Court, and also from the order Of
That court of October IL last, denying them
a new trial.
The judgment was for S1,011.S36 and
$40 40 costs.
A bond to the amount of s2,030O0o as
Undertaking OF the appeal has been filed
with the County Clerk, the bondsmen being
the Western Surety and Guarantee Com
pany, the same being a corporation with
paid up capital of not less than 100000, for
the purpose of guaranteeing bonds.
Separate undertakings for costs have been
hled as follows: For Joseph w. Souther,

iced by Andrew w. Rae Jr. ana 7. b.

Another phase Of the case affecting one OF
ane defendants in the action was deter
mined yesterday by Judge Hebbard.
:. Alter the action had been decided against
the defendants, one Of the latter, Major
Charles L. Eagan, o. S. A. on September
10, 1917, made motion TO vacate the Judg-
menl as FAR as he was concerned on the
ground that he bad never been served with
any summons or copy OF the complaint or
DINER paper in the case, that he had never
authorized any attorney to appear for him.
anu that the judgment was void as lar as he
was concerned in that tie court had never
acquired any jurisdiction over him.
Judge Hebbard carefully considered the
record and found that defendant Egan had
nled an affidavit to this effect on Septem Der
II, 1892, that the original summons dated
FEBRUARY 2, 1892, did not show service on
MIN, that at the trial ne was individually
represented by counsel. that no affidavit was
read at the time OF the trial denying the
defendants affidavit, that he had testified
personally to the facts of his affidavit, that
Judge Mesick, counsel for certain of the
defendants, had testified that he had no
personal authority to appear for Eagan, his
only authority being recollection of re-
quest TO that effect from defendant Hobart,
how deceased, which was uncontradlcted.
Judge Hebbard, therefore, found that
although the trial OF the case, so far as
Eagan is concerned, was as fair to him as to
the other defendants. and as ably conducted
Dy the attorneys who assumed to act for
MIN as II be had given them absolute
authority to appear for him. Yet he was of
opinion that the court never obtained juriS-
0letlon over the person of defendant Eagan.
The Judgment, as far as it affects Eagan,
was therefore declared to be void.
This clears Major Eagan, not only of la
Dlllty for his share of the heavy Judgment
In the case, but also from the odiuIh Of
fraud involved in the judgment.

Mountain.
A statement has appeared in some OF the
papers that the original cross on Lone

land expedition of Portsla from San Diego
when they discovered San Francisco Bay.
In this party was Father Junipero Sierra,
who placed cross on the northwest point
Of Carmel Bay. south of Point Pinos. on
their return southwark. None Of the ex-
petition Of 1863 come farther north than
the high hills or mountains mouth OF HALF
moon Bay, from which San Francisco Bay
was discovered as a great Mediterranean
Sea-"
Application for the date Of the placing oil
the first cross on Lone Mountain having
been made to Professor Davidson, he begged
the assistance OF Mr.. George Alfred, the
principal OF st. Joseph's School, at Tenth
and How ard streets. to ascertain the exacl
time. Mr.. Alfred has given tho following
memorandum as the result of his inquiry:
'The original wooden cross Oh Lone
Mountain was erected by direction OF the
Most Rev. Archbishop Alemany in May
1862. The memorandum book OF Mr.. Jane.
Doyle, the builder of the cross, shows thai
the building was commenced May Is, and
