A DIsoRDERED BRAIN.
It Causes Spanish Consul to Jump from
Window TO Death.


BALTIMORE, Md, Nov. 20. --Crazed,
supposedly from overworl1ed and worry,
Senior Don Carlos Diaz, the Spanish
consul at this port, took his own life
at 6:45 Friday morning by jumping
from the third story of his residence,
746 North Eutaw street, receiv-
ing injuries from which he died
shortly afterward at the Marylany gen.
eral hospital, Madison and Howard
streets. The desperate man was seen
hanging to the cornice above one of the
windows by passing pedestrians few
seconds before he dropped. His body
was entirely nude. Suddenly the fingers
that sustained his weight upon the corr
nice were relaxed and he plunged
downward. In the fearful descent the
body turned several times and struck
the earth with terrific force. His neck
was broken by the fall and he received
other injuries. The police were imme-
diately notified and removed him to the
hospital. He did not regain conscious
ness before death.
| The wife, son and daughter of Senor
Diaz were asleep in the adjoining apart
ment when he hurled himself to the
pavement. They knew nothing of the
occurrence until they were awakened
by violent ringing of the front
door bell by a police officer Mrs.
Diaz stated that Senor Diaz had
been in deranged condition for some
time, although never violent. He had
never threatened to take his own life
or indulged in expressions that
would lead them to think that
he contemplated suicide. The dead
man was 46 years of age. He
had been in the Spanish con-
sulate service for twenty-five years be-
ing located at Tunis, Africa, twelve
years previous to coming to Baltimore
two years ago Since he took charge
of the consulate here he had been
greatly interested in the coming Span
ish international exposition at Madrid.

these wages until February, when a

A FURIOUS RIDE.
Railway Laborers Thrown from a Great

Railway Laborers Thrown from n Great
Height by Runaway Hand Car.
HAZLEToN, Pa, Nov. 2O.-The Beaver
Meadow branch of the Lehigh Valley
railroad was on Friday the scene of a
thrilling accident, in which five men
narrowly escaped instant death. 1t was
about noon when Track Foreman Eek,
with six Hungarian laborers, boarded a
hand car at Beaver Meadow, intending
to reach Hazel Creek before the express
would leave there. The road is marked
by heavy grade with many deep
ravines. They were going at lively
rate of speed about halfway down
when the brake chain broke. The men
lost control of the truck and, like flash,
it rau down the mountain side. Realiz-
ing their danger the men cried wildly
for assistance, Many persons on the
road saw them go by in helpless hor-
ror. Hazel Creek was reached, and on
the edge of high embankment snap
| went the framework, and in an in
slant the truck with its human load was
precipitated to the bottom of the bank
! 800 feet below. Andrew Koitz was
| taken from the wreck dead. Mike
Mority was fatally wounded. Fore
man Eek sustained severe contusions
on the body and head cut. The other
three men escaped with severe but not
| dangerous wounds.

rive PERSONS Lose Their Lives IN Two
Accidents Near Boone, Ia.
BOONE, Ia, Nov. CIV. o. Whit
taler, wife and 6-year-old daughter
Fannie were killed by Northwestern
passenger train at Coal Valley
Saturday morning Whitaker was
a farmer living in the western
part of Boone county and was
on his way to Boone. The Coal
Valley Crossing is miles west and
is a dangerous place. The railroad
runs along the foot of long, steep hill,
and about 100 feet from the bottom. The
ro;kl on the hill zigzags to get down,
and coming down the railroad cannot
be seen so yards away. The Whitaker
family had "a covered buggy and
also had their heads bundled up
so they did not hear the engine whistle
for the crossing. The engine hit the
buggy in the center. The horses We're
struck and knocked off the track and
killed instantly Mrs Whitaker had
u part of her head torn off. The child
was caught by the wheels in the center
of the body and cut in two.

QUIT WORK.
Employees of Every Branch of the Lehigh
Valley Service Strike.

valley Service Strike.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Nov. 21.-All the
employees of the Lehigh Valley railway
went out on q strike at 10:45 o'clock
Saturday night. The railroad officials
have notified the sheriff to be in readi-
ness, as they may need his assistance.
The officials say they can get all the
men they want and can fill the places
of the strikers in few hours. The
strike involves more than 90 per cent.
of the employees, including engineers,
firemen, trainmen and telegraph ope-
rators.
The immediate cause of the strike is
the company's refusal to recognize any
committee or body of men as the rep
resentative of the employees of
the road. After repeated at
tempts made by the grand officers
of the several railway organizations
to gain audiences with the officials of
the road, and after subcommittee
from the general committee sitting at
the Binham house in this city COM
posed of bona fide employees of the
road has failed to secure recognition
from the roads highest representative
in this city, First Vice President Voor-
hees, a further consultation was held
among the grand officers of the organ
lied train workers, and the order to
quit work was telegraphed to all the
employees along the line of the road.
The result was a general strike was
declared.
The effect of the strike, it is said,
will act very disadvantageously against
the anthracite coal trade on all points
between the coal regions and the lake
and seaports if it is protracted any
length of time. By this it will pro badly
be the cause of shutting down many of
the mines and throwing thousands of
men and boys out of work until the
| trouble is settled and create general
anthracite famine.
| Reports from Easton to Buffolo show
! that only the passenger trains are
moving and that a majority of the
old time employees of the company
are quitting work. The employees have
at last awakened to the fact
| question and they are unanimous in
stopping work. 1he quitting of the
telegraph operators has proved most
| serious blow, and new men cannot
readily take their places. The weak
point in the strike is the great number
of unemployed in this section, and they
are hocl1ing to points in the Lehigt
valley to take the strikers places.
All along the lines switches have
been tampered with and signals de
stroyed. Unless the trouble is quickly
! settled the destruction of DrODcrtV will
be great That this trouble was ex
pected is shown by the fact that mum
ber of insiders sold out their Lehigl
Valley stock last week. At the time
the sales caused comment and now
they are readily explained.
The New Jersey Central and Della
ware & Laclawanna men declare they
will not handle Lehigh Valley freight
and that they will quit first. The sit
uation looks serious.

While the police of Montreal con-
gratulate themselves on the timely dis
covery of the plot the consummation
of which possibly meant the loss of
many lives, the affair has caused a
tremendous sensation. For some weeks
the French press has been agitating
the removal of the monument from the
famous French square, and incidental
ly have bitterly attacked the private
life and personal character of Nelson,
claiming him to have been moral leper.
This no doubt led to the conception of
the plot
That the destruction of the monu-

was evident 10y the fact that hole had
been bored in the base to admit the

Mckinley, 43S, 1886; Neal, 352, 329; Mack
