Able MINUS A HEAD
Execution of u French Priest Who
Was Found Guilty Of Afro
ciOus Crimes.
Very Composed Until He Reached the
G~uillOtine, Then lie Broke
Down.

LAVAL, France, Aug. 3O.-Tho execu-
ton of the Able Bruneau, formerly
vicar of the Church Of Entreemez, con-
victed Of the murder of Able Fricot,
passed off mor quietly than the au-
thorities anticipated. Fully 5000 peo-
pie were present. Able Bruneau was
awake when the public prosecutor, ex-
aiming magistrate, and other officials
entered his cell in the morning in order to
inform him that his last hour had ar
rived. Unaided he donned his black
pants and then put on his shirt, stock
ings, and shoes. When dressed he was
led to the chapel Of the prison, where
representatives of the press we're already
seated, He showed great GOODNESS until
he arrived at the feet Of the scaffold,
when his fortitude seemed TO desert him.
Upon the guillotinc platform the able
kissed the crucifx held up before him by
the chaplain, murmured a short prayer
with eyes turned toward the sky,
and then at a signal from Deibler
he was overturned upon the bascula,
thrust rapidly forward and about sos a.
m. the knife fell and tho priests head
dropped into the basket. The death of
the priest was a signal for loud cries of
bravo from the crowd.
The Able Bruneau was found guilty
of the murder Of Able Fricot, cure at
Entreemez, by stunning him aud throw
ing him into a well, pitching blocks of
wood upon him as he struggled for his
lifo, ard tin lily pclting him with a long
pole until he was dead. He was also
shown to have committed roEberics,
spent much money in fast living and
was indicted for the murd,r of 4 widow
named Baurdias, a florist, found stabbed
to death and her place Of business ran
sacked. Some of the stolen money was

LARGE INCREASE
Facts from the Report Of the Su-
preme Chancellor Knights
Of Pythias.
SOME CHANGES RECOMMENDED
Suggestion that Guns BE substituted
for Swords by the Military
Branch.

WASHINGTON, Aug. D.-The annual
report Of the supreme chancellor
knights Of Pythias, gives the following:
Grand lodges. "a; subordinate lodges,
6.262; total number Of members, 465,74l,
a net increase of TOPS members during
Che mast two years The financial con
dition is most satisfactory.
Many topics are discussed and recon-
m~endations made concerning the work
OF the order. 1t is recommended that
the term OF Office Of subordinate lodges
be one year instead Of six months and
that the use of castle halls for burleeque
"side ranks" be prohibited.
81 am strongly Of opinion" says the
supreme chancellor, that a general
change from sword to gun would bring a
great revival and influx Of new members
into the military branch or our order. l
suggest that steps be taken to obtain
the views of all the divisions upon this
subject, with the determination, il the
majority 30 wish, to make the change. l
am told that a good Springfield rife.
such az we could use, can be purchased
in lots about as cheap as we now have
to pay for swords. ! suggest a commits
sion for the purpose Of investigation.
Should the idea pravail l suppose it will
be necessary to obtain consent in each
state to bear arms as a body.
The report of Thomas G. Sample, su-
preme master of the e%xchequer, for the
year ending March 81 last, is recapitu-
lated as follows:
Total receipts during year, s9l,1OS.S6;

The report Of Maj,Gen. James r. Car
nahan, commanding the uniform rank,
says:
The work of organizing n W divisions
has been difficult because Of the financial
depression and for the reason that our
Knights Of Pythias, for the most part,
being men of moderate means, have felt
constrained TO husband their resources.
Notwithstanding this condition Of af-
fairs, we have had a reasonably healthy
growth. From the best information to
be gained from the reports as made, the
value Of the property owned by the uni
form rank today aggregate very nearly

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Sept. 1.-Dr. An
drew O'Malley. a p~racticing physician
here, shot and killed his 3-year-old son
last night under the most peculiar cir
cumstances.
His wife, believing that there were
burglars in the house, asked him to 60
into the next room to o whether the
c~hildren-two boys-were safe. Tho
doctor took a cooked revolver and went
into the next room and presently his
wife and sister hearing two shots rushed
into the room and found, not q dead bur-
glar, but their W son, dead with two
bullet holes in him, and his father stand
ing with a smoking revolver over him.
The statement made by the doctor,
there being no other witness, is that he
went into the room to find out where
the noise came from and saw that the
little boy had his arm against an open
door which made the creaking noise. In
trying to wake him be touched him with
the cooked revolver and it went OF and
struck the child, and then he, strange to
say, shot him again to put him out OF
misery.

Deer and Partridge Eating Crops In Yer.

Deer and Partridge Eating Crops In YER
RUTLAND, VT, Aug. 30.-In the mount
ain districts east Of this city partridges
and deer are go abundant that they are
destroying crops. The black bear is
also taking a hand in the trespassing.
George H. Woodward, a farmer, living
five miles from hore, has made complaint
to the Vermont Game club that a herd
Of deer has destroyed an acre and a half
Of buckwheat and devoured his vege-
tables. He demands damages and legal
complications are likely to grow out Of
the case. He says the deer come into
his fields seven or eight at a time just
after sunset and remain until he drives
them away in the morning. They stay
until he approaches within three or four
rods.
Within a mile of the heart of this city
deer arc met trotting along the travel, d
road. Up in the mountains farmers are
frequently compelled to drive p~artridges
from their gardens and deer are found
feeding with the cows.
This lie the result Of the laws forbid,
ding the killing Of game until 1900. The
next legislature will probably modify or
repeal the laws or the farmers will rebel.

Black Eyed Beauty.

PORTLAND, Ore, Aug. 31.-Nettie
Neustretter, the woman who figures in
the family troubles of the Vanderbilts,
was we'll known in this city four or five
years ago and spent about fourteen
months between here and San Francisco.
The number of men in this city who
have fallen more or less under her capti-
waiting influences is legion and the talk
incident to her connection with the Van
derbilt scandals awakens many stories of
her exploits. Every blood Of five years
ago in this city could give volumes Of
unwritten history regarding the black.
eyed beauty. While she was living with
her husband she became very intimate
with Mrs. Eddie Foy, the wife Of a gam
bier in Spokane. The nature Of the in
timacy grew to be of a character which
the husbands Of both women was cogni-
zant of and which they fruitlessly at
tempted to break up. Foy finding his
wife's affections estranged by the wiles
Of the Neustretter woman committed
suicide with morphine.

WHISPERS AGAINST the Wife
Further Information About the Woman
Who Was the Cause OF the

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-The Herald says:
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt has been unpop-
ular socially for a long time. Two sum-
mers ago at Newport comment on a fir
tation between Mrs. Vanderbilt and o.
II. P. Belmont was very general and un-
favorable, and only the immense wealth
Of the family kept condemnation down.
They we're constantly together and he
was one Of the few visitors admitted to
the marble house. Their intimacy was
80 notable that the general talk was that
a divorce surely would be procured.
After Mr.. Vanderbilt's return to New
York the gossip increased. As far as
could be judged outward harmony pre-
vailed and when Mr.. and Mrs. Wander
bilt left Newport in the early autumn
they drove to New York on a brake with
four horses. Mr.. Belmont was n Of
the party and continued on with them to
Oakdale, their Long Island country
seat. Mr.. Vanderbilt went to England
seeing to the construction in his yacht
during the following winter, and Mrs.
Vanderbilt remained at the Fifth avenue
residence and Mr.. Belmont continued
bis attentions. Early in the season Of
1893 Mrs. Vanderbilt returned to New
port and opened the marble house and
matters we're much the anne az usual
until the arrival OF Mr.. Vanderbilt
After that there was a visit to Chicago
with Mr.. Belmont on hand, as usual, and
then came the projected trip in the Vigi.
liant which ended, as everyone said il
would, disastrously. Mr.. Belmont was
it is believed, persuaded to 60. He is
not a man Of means. 1t was the talk al
the time that w. s. Hoyt, who was
urged to be Of the party, declined when
he asccrtained that Mr.. Belmont was to
60 along. General gossip at Newport
now is that w. X. Vanderbilt wants tc
be free and to marry the Duchess Of
Manchester.

SAN Francisco, Sept. IA rise in
rates on flour, the result Of combination

shipments by the steamer China today.
Still she carried the largest cargo that
has gone out Of Frisco in years, having
17,4SO barrels Of -four, Of which only
800 we're for Japan. The sudden rise 10
freight rates led to the cancelling by
cable from Shanghai Of orders for 10000
barrels of -four. The action Of the steam
ship companies is censured by local mer.
chants, as it will cripple the boom in
California -four, and will induce Shang-
