LANSING, Mich, Oct. 15.--In the trial
of Mrs. HERE today the story of q most
unusual murder was told. Her son
George, years old, was taken i'll and
doctor was called. The boy began to
mend. Two days later. however, he
died with symptoms of poisoning, and
the doctors sent two women to watch
the corpse until the post-mortem exam
ination should be made. That night
the window of the room in which the
corpse lay was smashed and the women
ran home. The next day the body was
missing and it was not found until four
days later, in an unused we'll.
Today the detectives offered con-
fession in which Mrs. HERE admitted
she poisoned the boy because she feared
that he was going to the bad, and that
she threw the body in well because
she knew a post-mortem would show
poisoning. She says shat she gave him
rat poison on a piece of pie.

Interest In San Francisco.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 15.-The owners
of vessels and seafaring men of all
grades here are showing keen interest
in the fate of the big raft reported
wrecked off the mouth OF the Colum bia
river, they being by no means pleased
with the Southern Pacifc's scheme of
rafting lumber to this port.
If the raft is wrecked it will cause
but little sorrow among them, for had
the raft been towed successfully into
port, there is every possibility that the
shippers of lumber would follow the ex-
ample of the railroad company.

an invitation from Mr.. VIM. Fitzgerald
to shoot quail on his ranch, a few miles

was an incident at the Fitzgerald home
stead. Mr.. Fitzgerald went cut to shoot
a couple of chickens for his visitors
dinner. The gun he employed was his
personal property, and had been built
by the Winchester arms company with
a special view to execution, and the
effect upon Mr.. Fitzgerald's poultry
fully justified the expectations of the
builders and Produced dissatisfaction
and ground for domestic trouble be-
tween Mr.. Fitzgerald and his wife.

But She Offered an ArltnmeticaI

Lena Roebuck. young woman of
Gila Bend, was examined for insanity
in probate court yesterday, and was
committed to the asylum. Her malady
was of violent character, and was se-
perinduced by physical disorder and
too intense study.
The patient is q very handsome and
rather cultured Young woman.
In the course of the examination she
was asked by DIR. Mahoney if she had
been an inmate of the California asy-
lum. She replied that she had been
there.
when were you put ." she was
asked, and she replied.
When were you discharged ?" in
quired the physician, and she named
tine date. Later in the examination the
doctor asked her how long she had been
confined IN tba California institution.
She replied, II have told vou when !
was put in and when l was discharged.
Now. have you ever studied arithmetic
or that ele nentary division of it called
su ubtraction ?"
While the doctor was trying to catch
his breath the patient burst into tears
and humbly apologized for having been
rude to one so much older than herself.
During her stay ebout the court
house while waiting for the examina-
tion she gave way to many violent ae-
tions and e1pressions, but each was im-
mediately followed by fearful repent
ance and apology.
Her only relative is father at Gila
Bend.
"Have you any estate?" inquired
Judge Jordan.
You see it all here" she replied,
pointing at her clothing.

MoKELUMNE HILL, CAL, Oct. 15.-
One of the most shocking incidents that
ever happened in this vicinity occurred
this morning with possibly fatal re-
suits.
Two young men named James and
George Lipp, aged 10 and II years re-
spectively, we're horribly mu tilated by
the explosion of box giant powder
caps. They went for walk to Meser
mine near this place, and on their re-
turn discovered near the roadside box
of giant powder caps, piece OF fuse and
about half dozen giant powder cart
ridges. Just how the accident occurred
is not yet known, but the condition of
of the young men was terrible in the
extreme. The left hand of James
was torn to shfeds, necessitating
amputation at the wrist, his sight de-
stroyed, his head, face and upper part
of his body filled with fragments OF
metal from the cap shells and tin box
in which the shells were contained
while his brother George was mangled
about the head, losing one eye and
probably both. The first and second
fingers and thumb of the left hand OF
James were found near the place still
holding half burned cigarette. The
presumption is that while examining
the box spark fell among the caps and
caused the explosion while both young
men were examining it. The full ex-
tent of the injuries cannot yet be fully
determined.

Obituary.,

David ]. English departed this life
September %, 1894. Mr.. English was a
native of Illinois. He came to Phoenix
a little less than year ago in search of
milder climate, being somewhat
afflicted with pulmonary troubles. Had
greatly improved in this respect when
he was suddenly stricken down with
spinal meningitis. The progress OF the
disease was so rapid that it did its work
in less than three days. Mr.. English
was 35 years old, and was harness
maker by trade. He had made many
friends in this country who esteemed
him highly, and they extend their
heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved
mother, brothers and sister IN Illinois.
The funeral occurred one week from
the following Sunday, September so.

A MONSTER CAT.
Big as He Was, Load of Bird Shot |
Brought Him.


Brought Him.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. PIattner drove
out to their ranch south of Mesa last
Sunday. Just after leaving it on their
return big catamount pursued by
some boys and dogs bounded along the
road near their carriage and took refuge
on top of lofty cactus at the roadside.
The sharp spurs on the side OF the plant
seemed to offer no encouragement to
the brute in his ascent. Mr.. Plattner
had shotgun along with him but it
was loaded only with small bird shot.
He decided to try it on the catamount
and take the consequences if the charge
was too light. The shot struck the animal
under the jaw and he bounded a half
dozen feet into the air and fell to the
ground dead. He measured five and a
half feet from the end OF the nose to the
tip of the tail. This is said to be the
largest specimen captured in the valley
in recent years.

MUST REGISTER AGAIN.

The City Registration Last Spring
Was Not Sufficient.
The registration figures shown at the
recorders office at O'Clock yesterday
afternoon were 4079, and enough other
names were taken up to 9 O'Clock to
make it more than 400. Outside
officers have not reported for long
time, so that there is little doubt that
the total registration will be not less
than 4,500.
Registration will close at midnight
tonight. There are a great many per-
sons who believe that the city registra-
tion last spring was sufficient for the
territorial election, but it isn't. They
are. therefore, notified that they have
only twenty-four hours in which to
prepare themselves to vote this fall.
