how sick he is to-day. There are rumors
from time to time that Mr.. Blaine
is to be removed to some warmer
climate. but no preparations have Thus

such journey. The fact that Mr.. Blaine

evidence that tie period of his removal is

NEW YEARS EVE TRAGEDY.

Sad nenoument to Society Performance
by Amateur Thespians.
SAN Francisco, Jan. 1.-The old year
wac closed last night with terrible trage-
dy by which Sidney Mccoy, young law
yer, aged thirty three. lost his life and
Miss Grace King. aged nineteen, is in an
unconscious condition. A party of about
fifty friends assembled last night at Me-
Coy's house. on Guerrero street. to watch
the old year out and the new year in. The
feature of the evenings entertainment was
the production of a short play written by
Mccoy and performed by amateurs. The
plot was the betrayal of q BE- I'D of Rus
sian Nlhilists by one of the'c number.
The Nihilists discover tt ir traitor
and condemn her to de th. They
decide by lot who shall perform
the execution and the number fell
to the character portrayed by Mccoy, Miss
King playing the part Of the traitor. She
is given the choice of being killed or stab
bin9 herself and chooses tie latter alter
native. Mccoy handed her a stout dagger
which had been in his family for many
years. In the play. the girl instead of
killing herself was to stab her executioner,
and as Miss King received the knife she
reached forward to touch Mccoy on the
breast with the knife. At the same in
slant Mccoy started towards the girl
when she stumbled and, falling forward
with the dagger in her hand.
drove il through McCoy's heart
Mccoy showed wonderful vitality and
presence of mind. He walked into the next
room and aske for a doctor. and then fell
dead. The girl knew there had been an ac-
cident of some kind, but did not know Nc
Coy was killed. She was taken home. and
afterwards, on advice of friends, gave er-
self up to the police. She was taken to the
city prison at 3 o'clock in the morning. and
when she entered the prison tainted, and
has since remained unconscious. This
morning MoCoy's two brothers secured her
release by giving bonds for $4,000 for er
appearance. The girl was then taken home,
and is in critical condition. The accident
is explained by the fact that recently Miss
King suffered with q spraIned ankle, and
she had been using crutches to walk with
but had laid them aside to practice the part
in the play. AS she made q motion to stab
Mccoy she rested her weight on the weak
foot, it gave way and she fell forward.
