LOOKS LIKE MURDER,
Maloney Was Shot and Then
Placed on the Track.
But the Mutilation of the Wheels
Did Not Obliterate the Traces
of Foul Play.

MARTINEZ, Oct. 17.-On Monday morn
ing, about 10 o'clock, a tramp walking
along the railroad track about two miles
east of Cornwall station, fourteen miles
east OF Martinez, discovered the body of a
man with his skull cut in two lying near
the track. The tramp hurried to the station
and informed parties, who fastened to the
scene and identified the body as that of
John Maloney, section foreman OF the
branch railroad running from Pittsburg
Landing to the coal mines. Coroner Curry
was notified and hastened to the spot and
summoned a jury. After viewing the
body the inquest was postponed until
Wednesday at 2 o'clock. From informa-
ton gathered by the Coroner the last seen
of Maloney alive was at Dick Yates
saloon near Cornwall station about 10
o'clock Sunday night, some say in an in
toXieated condition and others that he was
sober. Further inquiry elected the fact
that party had gathered at the house of
James Madden. section boss of the South
ern Parifc Railroad at Cornwall, and that
a general row had taken place. which
assumed such proportions that Madden's
wife became frightened and taking her

night. Near the body of the dead man
was found a pistol with one barrel dis
charged and about which Madden tells
conflicting stories, saying that he shot a
dog and that he did not; that IL was his
pistol and not his pistol, although he told
the Coroner it was his pistol.
The skull of the deceased was cut in two
as ii by a batchet or car wheel. DR..
George of Antioch made an examination
of the body to-day and found hole in the
skull, which he claims was made by bull
let. The remains were to have been
buried to-day. but on receiving the infor-
nation from the doctor the Coroner
ordered the remains kept until after the
inquest. The deceased was about 80 years
Of age, unmarried, and had the reputation
of being quiet and not addicted to drink.
and was never known to 90 up the track
in the direction his body was found. 1t is
a mysterious affair and has created quite
an excitement at Cornwall, where the de-
ceased was we'll known. The Sheriff will
accompany the Coroner to the inquest to-
morrow, and every effort will be made to
ascertain the cause of the death.

CAREFULLY PRESERVED.
How a Wonderful Discovery Has
Been Made Doubly Useful.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 1.-THE Country
Medical Socety's petition to the Board of
Health to isolate consumptives has in
creased the fears occasioned by the start
ling headlines in local paper declaring
the disease to be infectious. The State
Legislature of Michigan recently indorsed
this view as did the medical congress in
Washington, and deaths from consump-
tion having decreased everywhere recently,
DR.. Fieck, with few others, ascribes this
to isolation. The majority of medical ex-
perts, however. credit it to the free broad
cast distribution through physicians of
test outfits of the Amick treatment, by
which authentic cures are reported daily
in the medical and secular press.
MINNEAPoLIs. Oct. 17.-Recent local
editorials condemning the medical code.
while commenting Amick, the Cincinnati
scientist, for Withholding his consump-
ton cure formula, are exciting much dis
cusslon in medical circles. The Times
said: "His discovery greatly assists the
fight against this enemy of human life,
and thirty or more local physicians say
the medicine accomplishes more than his
claim"
The Journal said: at is one of the most
valuable and wonde erful discoveries ever
honed for in medical science, and the
formula is not given to every Tom. Dick
or Harry to monkey with and is preserved
from the tampering of fool empiricists."

misconduct. Thief soon afterward re-
turned with gun which he aimed at the
Count The latter atteml ted to seize the
gamekeeper and struggle followed.
Thiel managed to shake himself free and
fired both barrels of the gun at the Counts
head, inflcting injuries from which Count
Blurher died quarter of an hour later.
The Countess, hearing the shots. hurried
to the scene and was fired upon by Thiel. the
shot entering her shoulder and arm. She

DEFENDING THE LORDS.
Salisbury Resorts to the Old Policy
of ,IingOiSm,

LONDON, Oct. 17.-Lord Salisbury,
speaking at Preston tonight, denounced
the action of the Government in driving
the home-rule bill through the Commons
to the exclusion Of graver subjects. His
Lordship said the attack on the Lords was
cowardlv expedient to avoid consulting
the country. He admitted that the Lords
were not perfect, but he insisted that the
existence of the House of Peers was
necessary to guard against one-man power.
If. however, the h0me-rule bill does not
appear at the next session of Parliament
it must be regarded as having been aban-
doned.
I'm examining this measure you will not
only consider its internal effects, but its
weight and its external effects" said Lord
Salisbury. IF you look abroad you will
see the necessity for maintaining the
power and prestige of England. Ii you
will consider what has been passing in
Asia and what is now passing in the Med
iterranean you must agree that this is not
moment when England should put off
her arlnor or appear in the sight of foreign
nations weaker than she has BEEN"

At the birth of his son a father placed
at interest at per cent the sum of 81 900,

the same rate. When the boy was ? years

keep the money and he would take his

old the father notified him that his fortune
had grown to over SIS, 420, using round
