DESPERATE AT LARGE.

Evans, the California Bandit, Escapes from
the Fresno JaiI-Aided by His Wife and a
"Detectlve."
FRESNO, CAL, Dec. 30.-Fresno is up
in arms and the whole country is ex-
cited. The jail delivery here. by which
at least temporary freedom was secured
by Chris Evans, the Visalia bandit, who
led the Evans and Sontag gang in the
Collins train robbery and through a
series of desperate battles that finally
resulted in the capture of Evans and
the two Sontag brothers, created such
excitement in Fresno that few men
slept
Evans was to have been taken to the
state penitentiary to begin to serve a
life term for the murder OF Vic Wilson,
a deputy United States marshal from
Arizona. who was one of the three men
killed by the bandits, Instead of wear
ing stripes Evans is again free to shoot
and kill
Evans and the young man who as
sisted in effecting the delivery disap-
peered in the direction of the mount
aims and big woods, and it is now sup
posed that the bloody encounters of
the past few months will be fought
over again. The people here now
recognize in Chris Evans one of the
most desperate of the many desperate
men who have figured in the annals of
California crime. Though the recent
gun fights at Visalia and in the foot
hills left him crippled in one arm, and
with one blind eye. the bandit is still
eq ual to 4 hard fight
1t is now learned that Morrell, who
played the waiter and caused Evans
release, is detective and has been in
Evans service for several months. lie
was a prisoner in the jail three months,
BEGINNING September ,. and it is now
thought that he managed TO get com
mitted to jail for the purpose of releas-
ing Evans

to the legislature. IL was a peculiarly
profitable session There were several
railroad charters up for consideration
Hans served faithfully. never broke

A KANSAS MYSTERY.
A Family Asphyxiated In a Manner T

A Family Asphyxiated In Manner That
Aroused Grave Susptciena
INDEPENDENCE, Kan, Jan. AT 9
o'clock yesterday morning the home of
George w. Read, manager of the Long
Bell Lumber Co., was broken into by
AL Brown, Mr.. Reads son-in-law, and
suspicious neighbors under the impress
sion that all was not right The dis
covery made was horrifying and in
wolves the greatest mystery known to
southern Kansas. Mr.. Read, clad only
in his night clothes, sat in a chair be-
fore hot stove fed by natural gas. his
body in an advanced stage of decom-
position. Miss Edith Scott domestic
of the family, lay dead on the floor Of
her room. Mrs. Read and her five-year-
old son were in led, the boy in dying
condition and the mother unconscious.
Mrs. Read may recover.
Many theories are current as to the
cause, one being asphyxiation. another
accidental poisoning and another foul
play. The fact that two gas stoves in
the house were burning at full force
practically explodes the theory of as
phyxiatio and the fact that no bruises
were found on either person renders
the murder theory almost incredible,
leaving accidental poisoning as the
most proba BILE cause.
None of the family were seen later
than Sunday evening, leaving no doubt
whatever that Mr.. Read and Miss Scott
had been dead thirty-six hours before
discovered. Every room in the house
was intensely hot, and there being no
ventilation, the fumes from the badly
decomposed body of Read were sti-

MANCHESTER SHIP CANAL.

Completion of Mammoth Work for the
Benefit of Commerce.
MANCHESTER, Jan. 2.-The great ship
canal from Eastman to Manchester is
now an accomplished fact and the town
of Manchester, situated about forty
miles from the sea board, can be reached
by sea from New York in about ten
hours after arriving at Liverpool On
December a steamer conveying the
directors of the canal made the entire
journey of the canal, but the formal
official opening did not take place until
yesterday.
In order to realize the full signifi-
canoe of this fact and all that It inn
plies, we have to consider the sudden
creation of a great port in direct COM
munication with all parts of the world.

DE MELLO WOUNDED.

Said to Have Been Strucs by shell While
the Aquidaban Was Running the caunt-

NEW YORK, Jan. 2-The Herald's
special dispatch from Montevideo says:
1t is reported in this city that the
Brazilian rebel, Adm De Mel1o, has
been seriously wounded and will come
here to have his injuries attended TO.
1t is surmised that fragment of a
shell must have struck him when the
Aquidaban was escaping some time
ago and had to run the gauntlet of the
loyal forts at the entrance of Rio har-
bor.
Postmen just arrived from Bage say
that the siege of that town by the in

DEFICIT GROWS.
Steady Decrease of Treasury Receipts to
Continue,

Continue.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-From the dis
cussions heard among politicians and
prominent men it is evident that some
thing in line with Secretary Carlisle's
bond issue recommendation will have
to be done at once. The treasury state
ment was, in the eyes of those ec-
quainted with treasury records. deplor-
able. The treasury balance has fallen
again. The available balance, how
ever, had crept up 100000. The pros
pective deficit grows. Treasury Off
cials are unwilling to furnish q esti-
mate of the probable deficit at the close
of the present fiscal year.
There are no indications that the Gus
toms receipts will increase next month,
and internal revenue receipts show a
steady decrease. The receipts from
this source for November were almost
81, 900. coo less than for November year
ago. The decrease in whisky taxes was
81, ,615, 900, in tobacco taxes 800. 600 and
in taxes on fermented liquors 1854, 900.
The aggregate internal revenue collec-
tions for the first five months OF the
present fiscal year amount to s6l, ,000,-
600, or S1,71o, 900 less than were made
for the corresponding period last year.
1t has been predicted, notwithstand-
ing Secretary Carlisle's report, that the
deficit will be 5000, 600, 900. This esti-
mate is based on the opinion that pub
lie works on which payments have
been suspended should be included in
such a statement, it being understood
that work on many buildings has been
stopped on account of the treasury's
condition

WILL HANG.
Verdict in the Prendergast Murder
Trial.
The Assassin of Mayor Harrison Declared
Guilty by the Jury-The Insanity
Dodge Did Not Work in
His Case.
The sfayor,s Assassin.


CHICAGO Dec. 30.-Patrick Eugene
John Prendergast was found guilty of
the murder of Mayor Harrison on Octo-
Der %, and the penalty fixed at death
by hanging. The jury refused to be-
lieve that the assassin was insane at
the time he committed the crime.
When the jurors returned to the court
room, after being out one hour and
three minutes, the prisoner was not in
the room, having been previously re-
moved to the Jail. It was fully five
minutes before he could be brought
back When he had reached his seat
Judge Brentano, addressing Foreman
Sutter, asked if the jury had reached a
verdict.
1--WE have. your honor" replied Mr..
Sutter.
"What is your verdict?" asked the
court.
Foreman Sutter then proceeded to
| read in solemn voice the following ver-
dict: 1--WE. the jury, find the defend
| ant, Patrick Eugene John Prender-
gast, guilty of murder in manner and
form as charged in the Indictment and
fix the penalty at death"
Prendergast, who was fear stricken
anu tTeIuD D1luS WHcH brought pdch GO
court, utterly collapsed when the an
nouncement was read. He sank back
in his chair, his chin dropped and he
| seemed completely paralyzed. He
looked appealingly at the court
and at the jury, and tears glist-
ened in the eyes from which
| heretofore only angry glances had been
shot AS soon as the verdict was an
nounced the bailiffs seized the miser-
| able, trem bling prisoner and started
to rush him back to his cell in murder
ers' row. They had nearly reached the
door when Judge Brentano ordered
them to stop. LET the prisoner re-
main while the jury is polled," he said
Prendergast took his stand before the
chair in which he jerked and
squirmed around while the polling was
in progress
When the last juror had made his an
swer Prendergasts knees shook, his chin
; dropped down and he would have fal-
len had not one Of the attending bailiffs
lent supporting arm He was half
led and half carried back to his cell.
Before the adjournment of court Mr.
Wade applied for new trial and the
judge announced that he would hear a
motion to that effect at a future date.

Mitchell and Corbett Arrested In Florida
and Give Bonds
JACKSONVILLE Fla, Dec 2o-Those
who doubted the sincerity of Champion
Jim Corbett and Charley Mitchell in
their individual efforts to pull of
the big fight here in January must
give way to the stronger evidence of
facts.
The big fighters voluntarily gave
themselves up to the authorities. in
order to forestan arrest at a later date
and to test the legality of
their proposed contest. 1t was
all prearranged and as far as the
plan itself goes, it was cleverly de-
vised and satisfactorily carried out It
had its amusing features, too. for Cor
bett was not at hand at the appointed
hour, and Mitchell ragged and fumed
when he discovered that he had to face
the court alone. Champion Jim had
all along viewed his possible arrest
with feelings akin to horror, but to-
wards the close of the afternoon he
came up from his training quarters and
took the sheriffs warrant without a
murmur.
The pugilists gave bonds for their
appearance, and will test the case. If
the arrest proves legal the match will
be declared off.

YELLOW JACK.
The Plague Has Appeared at Rio de Janeiro
In Dreadful Form.

In Dreaofui Form.
BUENos AYREs. Dec. 29.-Very bad
news has reached here from Rio de
Janeiro 1t is announced that the un-
fortunate city, which has for months
past been suffering from the ravages of
war, is now victim to the ravages of
the worst and most dreaded of all dis
eases-yellow fever-and five deaths
from this disease are already reported.
The news that yellow fever has added
its burden and horrors to the suffer
ings already endured by the people has
caused widespread attention here, and
much sympathy is expressed for the
plague and war-stricken inhabitants
1t is added, however, that the govern
ment has taken every precaution possi-
bic under the circumstances to prevent
the spread of the disease, but the work
of the officials at Rio de Janeiro is
greatly hampered by the condition
to which the city has been reduced by
the horrors of war.
1t is added that the scourge is not the
mild form of that fever, but is the
worst form of black vomit
Following the news that the black
vomit has broken out comes the addi-
tional information that the bonn bard
ment OF the city and forts continues,
and that the forces of both parties
the government and the insurgents
seem determined to bring matters to a
termination in one way or the other.
The fire of the rebel warships upon
the forts is said to have been unusually
severe and to have resulted in killing a
number of the defenders of President
Peixoto's Notifications 1t is also said
that several people have been killed in
the streets of Rio Janeiro, and that the
people of that city are SO panic-stricken
that all stores have been closed and
business is practically at standstill.
The forts have been replying fercely
to the heavy fire of the ships, and have
SO far succeeded in holding their own.
It is reported that battle at sea be-
tween the rebel and government ships
may soon be expected, and that upon
this engagement will depend the fate
of the rebellion.
