LIncoln's Views ON Assassination.

Lincoin's Views ON Assassination.
That night as we walked back 10 tlt
White House through the grounds 10
tween the war department builhnes
and the house fancled that l saw in
the misty moonlight man dodging be-
hind one of the trees My heart for {,
moment stood still. but as we passed in
safety came to the conclusion that the
dodging figure was creature OF the
imagination. Nevertheless as parted
from the president at the door Of, the
White House ! could not help saying
that thought his going to and fro III
the darkness Of the night. - IL was
usually his custom. often alone and MI
attended. was dangerous recklessness.
That night. in Difference 20 his wife

PLEADED NOT GUILTY
Blixt Cringed Like a Consum-
mate Coward in
the Dock.
The Authorities Have Evidence That
Harry Hayward Was the Western
Agent of Big Green
Goods Concern.

MISNEAPoLIs. Dec. 17.-Claus A. Blixt.
the self.confessed murderer OF Gather
inc Cling. was arraigned IN the district
court this morning and In a weak voice
pleaded not guilty. The case was set for
trial Jan. /, in spite Of Attorney O'Dell's
demand that il not be set earlier than
Jan. u.
When Blixt stood up at the bar and
his attorney entered plea Of not guilty
County Attorney Nye was much taken
aback. He spoke sharply to the prison
er and asked il he understood what he
was doing. Blixt seemed dazed. but
finally said. nalf defantly. that be did.
Nye was, therefore. forced to face the
probability OF the trial of the case where
he had expected plea of guilty. Blixt
made no explanation Of his action and
the state asked none.
The defense OF Blixt will be on the
plea Of temporary insanity brought on
10y the use Of alcoholic stimulants given
by another for the purpose Of provoking
the deed.
An afternoon paper says. The latest
development in the GIng murder case is
the discovery of eviJence that leads the
authorities TO the belief that Harry
Hayward rs the western agent OF the
green goods combination whose head
quarters are at New York. with the
principal branch at Chicago.
The first clue to this was gwen one
of the members OF the gang whose con-
science was quickened by the murder OF
Miss Cling.
The money which Catherine Cling OBJ
tanned from Hayward just previous to
her death will be shown to have been
portion Of the green goods which
passed into her possession from Hay
ward, who afterwards found it necessary
to put the victim out of the way to pre-
vent exposure.

Are Our Legs tn Vanish /.

DIR. Emil Young. professor Of physio-
logy at the university Of Geneva, allow
ing scientific speculation to run away

and yeare or sol the legs Of the human
species will practically disappear. Men
refuse more and more to walk, though
walking is the wholesomest Of physical
exercises. Steam. electricity. the rope
railways, t,icycles and bicycles have
changed the whole aspect OF Swiss tour

everywhere any way except by the use
Of his legs. In another generation our
travelling balloons will hang ::outside Of
our windows or our electrical coaches
stand outside our doors. They will be
produced 90 chsaply that every man
will have his own chariot. Hence our
legs will become suPerfluous. then they
will be crippled and shrink to hideously
small dimensions until ut last they will
finally disappear" This seems to be

With the score 10 to against them In
the ninth, two out and thinner on third,
all the visiting players congregated around

back, but they refused TO go.
Captain Tabeau snatched the mask
from Hoagiand's hands and then stood
hisground defiantly. The crowd hissed.
thinner came running down from third.
The ball was thrown TO the plate
to catch him, but O'Connor inter-
cepted 1t and threw II over the stands.
Hoagland promptly fined him and Te-
beau f25 and forfeited the game to Pitts
burg, too. The entire police force Of

Clevelands from being mobbed.

AN AWFUL FALL.
Morgan Sheahan's Terrible Plunge
OF a Freight Shed.

A serious accident occurred at the dock
OF the Providence, Norfolk and Baltimore
Steamboat Company this morning at
about 1880 O'Clock. Morgan Sheahan, an
employee of the company, was engaged In
painting the roof Of one of the large
freight sheds on the dock of the steam
ship line. No one can definitely state
whether he lost his hold upon the
roof or was overcome by the heat
but without any apparent cause he fell
from the roof, striking heavily upon the
railroad track at the base of the shed.
The distance that he fell was nearly 20
feet, and he landed partly upon his head.
He was picked up in an unconscious
condition and was cared for by
his fellow laborers and the officers of
the company until the arrival of the
ambulance. Examination at the hospital
showed that his injuries were very seri-
Gus. He was suffering from fracture OF
the skull, and at the latest reports was
still unconscious. Sheahan is about SO
years old, and lives at 80 Trenton street.
He has wife and two children.

East Manning street he was attacked and
and stoned by the gang Of which McEwen
appeared to be the leader. The latter
was arrested yesterday andhpleading not
guilty was held to appear for trial to-
morrow.
Thomas Burke was charged with assault
ing Mrs. McSoley. According to the
neighbors, Mrs. McSoley was enjoying
the cool breeze in the doorway of her
husbands saloon at the foot of Broadway
hill. Burke felt the need OF stimulant,
and asked Mrs. McSoley to furnish it for
MIN. She refused with the result that he
tried to brain her with chair. Neigh
bors interfered and Burke spent the night
in the station house. This morning he
piehueu uob Sulty auu WAS nelu Iof $SUU
to appear for trial tomorrow.
Johu Dugan, boy apparently without
friends, was charged with stealing from
p. Wilbur Card IL bottles and conents--
the latter unnamed, however. He was
sent to the Reform School for two years.
