A WILD AND wooLLY STORY.

Found Near Paducah, KY.

Paducah KY, June 11.-Great excite
ment is prevailing in the neighborhood of
Fancy Farm, Graves county, over the dis
covery of a strange being which is max

a very uncouth appearance, being entirely
nude and running rapidly away upon the
approach of any one. "It" was first dis
covered a few days ago in a wheat field
devouring the unripened grain, by the
little daughter of w. H Eddrington A
day or two since Frank Wiley and his son
saw ''it' again in the same wheat field.
Wiley and his son went in pursuit, but
did not succeed in getting close enough to
solve the mystery Afterward crowd
went to the briar thiclKet One of the
party succeeded in getting within ten
feet of sit" before ''it" ran away.
Enough was seen. however, to know that
cit" was a well-developed human being,
with long, disheveled hair and wild, glar-
ing eyes Whether ''it' is a male or fe-
male no one is positive.

Paris, June 11.-James Gordon Bennett

easily Dr. Robin is living temporarily
at Mr. Benefits hotel, so as to watch his
patient. French etiquette forbids a doc

patients, and both DIR. Robin and DIR.
Ledentie refused to be interviewed.
It is understood, however, that DIR.
Ledentie's operation on Mr.. Bennett
consisted in his opening the patient 3
abdomen and removing a clot which col
lected after profuse internal bleeding,
and which if not removed, might have
proved fatal.
DR.. Robin does not allow Mr.. Bennett
to see his friends for fear their presence
might excite his patient. Even Mr.. Ben
nett's private secretary is not allowed to
enter the sick room All ringing of bells
and other unnecessary noise has been
stopped in the neighborhood and nearby

markable Fishing Excursion.
Winamac Ind, June 11.-John Quarles

because of an ingrowing nail on one of his
big toes. The other day he went on a
fishing excursion along the banks of the
Tippecanoe river, and after awhile he
found a nice shady spot, and seating him
self. he pulled off his slipper. As he was
rubbing his aching toe bright idea
came to him Were he to hold his foot in
the water it might ease the pain He did
so. and the sensation was so pleasant that
he went to sleep. Suddenly he was
aroused by something pulling at his sore
toe. He gave his foot tremendous jerk
and landed a ten-pound catfish. He lost
his toe-nail in the operation, as it re
mained in the fsh's mouth, but is gamer
thereby, for his toe gives him less pain.

ACCIDENTALLY Shot.

Carrollton, Ca, June 10-W. G. Strip
ling, young man living near Hickory
Level, eight miles north of Carrollton,
came near getting killed yesterday in an
attempt to scare some of his young
friends. It seems that quite number of
young men were in the Tallapoosa river
bathing, and young STRIPPING hid him
self in the bushes near by and commenced
making a noise like a wild cat. The boys
were terribly frightened, and most all
their wearing apparel behind. One of
the young men, A. J. Bashin, was more
brave than his companions and he got his
gun aud shot in the direction the noise
came from and hit young STRIPPING who
was hid in the bushes. Luckily the
wound was only slight, but he was badly
scared so much so that he win hardly

A DAYOF MANY FUNERALS.
Victims Of the FOTdS TheateT Crash
Laid to Rest.

Widespread Public sympathy for the
Surviving Families of the Dead.
None of the Victims of the Horror
Well-to-do Financially Purse
Strings Loosened to Give Subserip-
tions-No Subsidence of the Indigna-
tion Against Those Responsible for
the Disaster.
Washington, June 1.-THE remains of
the dead victims of the horrible wreck of
Ford's theater Friday have nearly all
been disposed of. Washington was to-
day city of funerals, and all day long
mourners have gone about the streets.
Every one knew what the sad professions
meant, and the sympathy of all was ex-
tended, albeit unexpressed in many cases
to the sorrowing, stricken ones. Inquiry
confirmed the statement that none of the
victims were men of property. Most of
them lived on their salaries, which fur
nished a means of livelihood but left little
for day like this. Most of them were
married and some had large families who
are now left, if not entirely dependent
upon friends and relatives, at least lack
ing in funds for immediate use.
RELIEF FOR THE SURVIVORS.
Much of the talk upon the disaster is
now of relief measures and the circu-
latOrs of subscription papers in the de-
partments and the Washington newspa-
pers in their efforts to gather funds for
the relief of the victims and their fam
lilies are meeting with success to a degree
that does credit to the benevolence of the
citizens. The government clerks, as a
class, are not well to do and the expenses
of living here absorb most of their sala-
ries, but few indeed were too poor to con
tribute a sum that appeared to be gener-
GUS in view of their means for the relief
of the widows and orphans.
One notable fact is the growth of the
feeling of resentment on the part
of the public against the persons
responsible for the wreck. In advance of
the verdict of the corOner's jury and of
the findings of the court of inquiry, there
is now general agreement upon this point,
and the public Is rather Unfortunately
cOndemning everybody who had anything
to do with the control of the wrecked
building, from congress down to the very
labOrers who were digging in the cellar
when the crash came.
The injured in Fridays catastrophe
now in the hospitals are, with the excep-
tion of two, in a fair way to recover. The
serious cases are those of J. p McCOr-
mack of Wisconsin and Frank Metcalf of
Massachusetts. p. j. Pennington of Ala

BREAsTwoRKs IN NICARAGUA.
American Marines Reported to Have
Thrown UP Fortihcations.


Washington, June 1.-Secretary Her
bert tonight had received no information
relative to the reported private advices
from Nicaragua via the City of Mexico to
the effect that there was imminent danger
of collision between the United States
marines and the populace. The last dis
patch from there he received several days
ago. Capt. Higginson of the Atlanta

thorities having guaranteed ample pro-
lection to American interests,
the marines had been Withdrawn from
shore. DR.. Guzman, the Nicaraguan
minister. was shown the telegram. He
doubted the truth of the story, as he
knew of no such place in Nicaragua as
Santa Fe, where it is said the marines
have thrown up Notifications to protect
the canal company's property He pre-
sumed that the marines referred to in the
dispatch were on the Atlantic coast but
he could not locate town of that name.
On the Pacific coast, where the United
States steamship Alliance is stationed,
DIR. Guzman said there was no canal

A QUEENS LAoEs STOLEN.
Startling Discovery on Unpacking an
Exhibit at the Fair.

Chicago, June IA startling disclosure
was made at the worlds fair grounds last
evening when the priceless laces sent
here by Queen Margarhetta of Italy
were unpacked. While the laces were
being taken out of their cases and each
piece counted, it was found that thirty
pieces were missing. Cablegrams were
Immediately sent to Rome apprising
the queen of her great loss,
for it seems, as developments
thus far indicate, that the loss will not
fall upon the exposition company, their
bond not covering the safety of the laces
in transit. An effort was made to keep
the discovery secret, but customs officers
divulged the startling news. These rich
possessions, out of reverence for the mem
ory of her countryman, the discoverer of
America, the queen consented to send
to Chicago for the fair. She sent
noble trusted lady, the Countess di
Brazza, to watch and guard her treasures,
and the government of the United States
gave bond of $100,00 to guarantee their
return to Italy.

BURIED TREASURE UNEARTHED.
Gold and Silver Found Which Maxi
milan Concealed.

City of Mexico, Mexico, June ia few
days ago some old and musty documents
were found here, by which it was learned
that treasure consisting of jewelry and
gold coin amounting in value to $2,0O0 900
is buried at Perpucta street in this city.
The documents bear official marks, and
state that the wealth was secreted by
orders of Emperor Macmillan.
The discovery of these documents pro-
duced a sensation among those who were
permitted to share the secret, and prepa-
rations were at once made for unearthing
the treasure.
The excavating was begun, and in a
short time a clay vessel filled with gold
powder was unearthed. Then came sew
eral pieces of silverware.
A depth of only few feet has been
reached the work having been interrupted
by great flow of water into the cavity.
AS soon as the water can be shut out or
controlled the work of excavating will be
resumed.
There seems no doubt that the docu-
ments are genuine, and it is believed that
all of the great wealth will be unearthed.

An Othc1al Statement Concerning Kali
noky's Speeches.
Berlin, June 11.-An official statement
has been made to several newspaper cor
respondents concerning Count Kalnoky's
last two speeches and the improvement
of the relations between Austria, Hun
gary and Russia The statement asserts
that the Austria Hungarian government
attributes the betterment of its relations
with Russia to the favorable influence of
Chancellor Won Caprivi at St. Petersburg
1t is not the opinion of the Austria Hunga-
rian government, nor was any such opin-
ion expressed by Count Kalnoky, that
Germany has no need to increase her
army. On the contrary, if Germany is to
remain powerful enough in Europe to be
able to render her allies such peaceful
services as she rendered in this case to
Austria Hungary she requires stronger
military force than she now possesses.

LIZZIE BORDEN JUB1LANT.
The Prosecution Conceded to Have
Made Out Very Weak Case.

Made Out. Very Weak Case.
Fail River. Mass, June u.-An day
long talk has been plentiful on the sub
ject of the Borden murders, and there can
be no denial that the general opinion
about town is that the prosecution thus
far has very weak case. This opinion
is being strengthened by rumors current
here to the effect that Lizzie Borden's s
counsel will shortly explode a bombshell
IN the camp of the authorities. 1t is
limited that the defense will show con-
cluslvely that Lizzie Borden purchased
some paint few days before the murder
and that 1t was not an uncommon thing
20 burn dresses in the Borden household.
The fact that the girl burned the dress in
the daylight, when officers surrounded
the house, will also be related to show
there was not the slightest attempt at
cOncealment. The defendants lawyers
do not attempt to disguise their joyful
feelings because of the present status of
the case and the girls friends here are
jubilant.
THE HATCHET INCIDENT.
OThe hatchet incident with its accompa-
nying denials is a source of much comfort,
but while the prisoners friends are buoy
ant, the spirits of the police authorities
Maullay's strange, unexpected statement
about finding the handle is, they say, in
keeping with the general tone of the tes-
timOny given by him before the courts.
He has been known several times to take
a position in less important cases, in def
ance of the fact that five or six
other officers and witnesses testi-
fled positively that he was wrong.
One of the police authorities
thinks so little of the circumstance that
he says he will not advise the district at
torney to contradict Officer Maullay's
alleged erroneous statement. The mat
ter of wrapping up the hatchet, testified
in two ways by Officers Medley and Des-
mond, can be easily explained. They say
both men did wrap up the hatchet, Des-
mond wrapping it up first and passing it
to Officer Medley, who afterward opened
it in the cellar to show another officer. 1t
is frequently expressed opinion here
that the defense has built a mine under
Officer Medley's testimony, and will set
it off before the case is finally sub
mitted
