HARRY HYPNoTlZED HIM
Every Detail Adds to the Shook.
ingIy Brutal Character OF the
Foul Crime Which Ended
Katie CinG's Life.

MINSEAPoLIs, Dec. i0.-Claus A. Blixt,
the confessed murderer Of Catharine
Cling, 10 . pitiable object to-day. He
wccps continually and says be wants 10
die. He says that Harry Hayward con.
trolled him, - he did Miss Gine. by hyp.
motto power. A largo crowd assembled in
front OF the municipal court to-day, q.
pecting that Blixt would bs arraianed,
and ominous mutterings were heard. 1t
was decided that Blixt bo taken directly
before tho grand jury. After reading
Blixt's confession in to-day paper Hay.
ward said the story was fake concocted
by Blixt to save his neck.
Tho belief 10 growing that Harry Hay.
ward mado use Of hypnotism to gain .
stronghold over his tools and victims.
Claus Blxt says he did. lie told tho OH
GERS that Harry had controlled him with
hypnotic power. rs he also had controlled
Miss Ging. Tho murderer shuddersd
when no made this statement and ap-
peared TO stand In mortal terror Of Harry,
even then.
With gestures Of his hands no illus-
trated the way Harry used to hypnosise
Rirls. He said whenever Harry told him
to do anything and he refused he would
make few passes at him with his hands,
and the result was that he did whatever
Harry told him. Tho time no fred tho
barn, Harry, he said, threatened to kill
him u ho did not obey his command.
''lio looked through me with those eyes
and went and burned tho barn without
saying . word," said Blixt. "On the
morning Of the IRE he made inc Sign Q
paper saying that had set fire to the
barn. I signed my namo to the paper
and after that whenever he wanted me to
do anything no would show mo the paper
and threaten to send me to Saltwater for
10 years II refused"
Il was decided this mqrnina there would
be no arraienmens Of Blixt in the munic,.
pal court, but tho case should 20 direct
before the grand jury. A largo crowd had
assembled before the municipal court on
Second street. Much talk was indulged
In and their looks were, to say the least,
threatening. Captain Hsine was detailed
10 announce to the crowd that Blixt WAS
not going TO be brought into tho munici.
pal court and that they were to dlspsrss
Immediately. His words had little slIast,
% the crowd remained IN front of tbs
building and were augmented In . few
minutes by tho appearance Of now faces.
Tho question In every mind now 10
whether Harry will confess.

sible and such a spirit should actuate all laboring organizations. At no time during the Pullman boycott was there any danger of sympathetic strike on the part of the brotherhood of locomotive firemen, and all talk to that effect was by persons not familiar with the brotherhood laws. He was sorry for those brotherhood tiremen who had gone out of their own accord and had lost their jobs, but they knew the consequences when they struck, as the firemen's organization had no trouble whatever with any of the rail roads.
 Sargent said that he was a personal friend of Debs and admitted his hon. esty of purpose and his intellectual ability, but declared that he made a mistake in ordering on this sympa- thetic strike of the American Railway union. What effect it would have on Debs' own organization he could not say. One effect it might have for awhile would be to make it harder for all railway organizations to get con sessions from the companies.

ELECTRIC FISH.
Living Galvanic Batteries and Their
 Anatomical Peculiarities.

Living Galvantc Batteries and Their
 Anatomical Peculiarities.
 Electric fish have always been plenti- ful in the Nile. The ancient Egypt ians were familiar with the capacity of these fish to communicate a shock to their captors, although, of course, the nature of the shock was not under stood. In picture in bas-relief from the Metropolis at Memphis, dating pre- sumably three thousand years B. C., we see the Pharaoh of the day engaged in watching the sport of spearing hippopotamuses, while a solitary fish erman in small boat is represented in the act of catching an electric shad. Galen, too (2O0 A. D., mentions the electric rayfish, the action of which he compares to magnet; and for cen turies the Abyssinians have used the electric eel as a remedy for diseases of the nerves. There are three species of electric fish now known: The electric shad, the electric eel and the torpedo or electric rayfish. The electric shad is from twelve to twenty inches long, and is found in the Nile and the Sene- gal. According to Brehm, the electric organ of the shad consists of tissue, resembling the fatty tissue, between the skin and the muscles, over the whole body. This tissue consists of six or more membranes superimposed one upon the other, with space between them for gelatinous mass furnished with a peculiar arterial and venous system, and with a very much branched nerve. On being touched with the hand, the electric shad gives shocks of varying strength. The utilization of its electric energy is absolutely under it's own control.
 The electric eel, first described by Humboldt, is capable of communicat- ing the most powerful shock. It some times reaches a length of six or seven feet and a weight of thirty or forty pounds. The skin, which is olive-green above and orange-red below, is covered with slime, which, as Volta showed, conducts electricity twenty to thirty times better than water.
 The electric organ of the electri c ray occupies the same space between the head, the gills and the pectoral fins. It consists of small cells, close together like the cells of honey comb, separated by cross-membraneous walls and permeated by nerves. Its shock is materially weaker than that of the electric eel, but nevertheless quite painful.-Literary Digest.

l2:3O o'clock, thus declaring that so far as they were concerned the strike was at an end.
 The action of the council of the Fed eration of Labor supplemented by that of the Building Trades assembly last night is accepted universally as the death blow of the Pullman boycott.
 The railroads are taking back their old employees who have been quiet dur ing the trouble, but they are not dis charging any of the men who were employed to take the places of the strikers, and such as are re-employcd are taken back as individuals. It ne sessarily follows that a numb Der of the strikers find themselves unable to secure reinstatement, and these are insisting upon continuance of the struggle

A Veteran Publisher Passes Away.

ORANGE, N. J., July 16.-George Rox Graham, the veteran publisher and journalist, died yesterday of heart dis
 ease at the Orange Memorial hospital. He was identified with Charles J. Peter
 son in the management of the Gentle mans Magazine in 1s4O, and later es- tablished Graham's Magazine. In 1864 he bought the North American In Phil adelphia, but financial reverses caused him to lose control of all his publica- tions. Through the liberality of George w. Childs he was maintained in Orange Memorial hospital from 1887.
