ATTACKED BY HIGHBINDERs.
A Chinaman Murderously Assaulted on
the Streets

"A On1uaman MurderOuSIY Assaulted
the Streets.
Highbinders broke out in new place in
Chinatown last night about O'Clock, and
All Him, one of trio of thugs, was taken
to the old City Prison by Officer Winzler
and booked for assault to murder.
A Chinaman, Woo Sing, was passing the
corner of Waverly place and Clay street
when he was suddenly set upon by three
of his countrymen. He made dash to
get away, but at that moment one of the
highbinders slashed him across the right
side of the neck with large dirk knife,
cutting deep cash. The assaulted man
cried for help, and crowd soon gathered
around him where he fell to the ground
bleeding profusely.
The three highbinders made a rush to
get away and soon disappeared in the rear
of the building, 843 Clay street. One of
highbinders, All Him by name, was ar
rested, but the other two made their es-
cape.
Sergeant Christensen of the Chinatown
squad made thorough search of the
premises and found the bIood-stained dirk
with which the cutting was done on the
back steps of the house. A further search
inside revealed further evidences of high
blndery and desperate purposes. Among
other things Officer Christensen found a
long dirk, sharp as razor and evidently
of Chinese manufacture. and five boxes of
the most powerful Illuminating gun caps,
sufficient to blow up half dozen buildings
if exploded all at one time.
All the officers of the squad were notified
OF the assault and set on the alert for the
two highbinders who escaped, and to look
out for furiher assaults which might fol-
low this desperate attempt at murder on
the public street.
Woo Sing was driven to the Receiving
Hospital DR.. Berry fonnd long, deep
the scalp almost to his left ear. There was
another long, deep cut in his back. 1t took
the doctor nearly an hour to stitch and
dress the wounds, and all that time Woo
Sing never moved muscle. Neither of
the wounds is considered dangerous.

"Doctor," said patient in the offices of Drs
Copeland and Neal, "the relief that your treat
ment brings is worth the fee you charge, to say
nothing about the cure of the trouble. When
came here first did not know what 1t was to
breathe easy, my nose was always clogged up
and had TO breathe through my mouth, and
then the pains had were torture, but since
taking the treatment my nose is free, my breath
ing is easy and have no pains at all, and that

you; not only that, but am certain OF an

cure, but speedy relief from the annoying

Tho Interpreter of the argentine Lega-
ton admits the Crime.
WASHINGTON, March Emanuel AL
magro, accountant and interpreter to the
Argentine legation in this city, was to-day
arrested at the office of the legation and
locked up at the request, of Minister Zebal-
los, on charge of embezzling $1,000 of the
funds of the legation.
Almagro confesses his guilt. He says he
lost a large sum belonging to the legation
on the street last November. Being afraid
to confess he tried to make it up by gam
bling with the legation money, all of which
passed through his hands. By January he
had lost in all $500. He then confessed to
Minister Zeballos, who gave him time to
raise and replace the money. He visited
Cuba, where his father is said to be a
prominent man, but failed to secure the
money, and the Minister, finally losing pa
tience, caused his arrest.

dorsed by His Family.
NEW YORK, March 6.-There has been
considerable stir in society over the Van
derbilt divorce yesterday, and it is the
general impression that W. K. Vanderbilt
is glad to be free. At any rate his family
was heartily in union with him, and for
several months none of the Vanderbilts
have spoken to Mrs. W. K. Vanderbilt. 1t
has been embarrassing at times, when the
women of the family have met at balls,
but when they have done so it has always
been as strangers.
1t is quite we'll known that Mrs. Alva
Vanderbilt's desire was to live in Europe
most of the time. After the divorce
America is not pleasant to her, so she
had planned to take her children abroad
and join the American colony in either
London or Paris. The only concession
that W. K. Vanderbilt seemed anxious to
have made him was that his children be
educated in America

A TALE WELL TOLD.
EXPERIENCE WITH A MAN MAD
DENIED BY MORPHINE.
NJ. ID. Saves Himself From Death BY
Dashing ChIOrofOrm in the Face
of the Lunatic.

San Francisco, April 13.--Dr. W. o.
Wilcox, the demonstration of anatomy
of the California medical college, had
a narrow escape from death Friday al
the hands of maddened morphine
eater.
DIR. Wilcox returned from the college
OF the faculty about IL o'clock. In
the patients sitting room stood a
young man of about twenty years of
age with that sallowness of complex
ion which betokens the excessive use
Of some deadly drug. His eyes glared
fiercely, and he trembled with sup
pressed excitement.
He told me he desired to see me
urgently" said DR.. Wilcox, in speak
ing Of the affair. ST detected that he
was a morphine fiend, and, as 1 do
not care to treat such patients, 1 told
him he would have to go elsewhere.
I entered the consulting room, and,
despite my protest. he followed me. I
threatened to remove him whereupon
he burst into tears and begged I
would give him only one shot of the
drug. I hesitated, and his manner
became threatening. In the next mo-
ment L was in the presence of mad
man.
''The morphine fiend now command
ed THAT the request he complied with.
On the operating table lay a keen sur
geon's knife, with a blade six inches
in length. The madman's attention
was directed toward It, and in an
other moment he had possessed him
self of it. 'Give me morphine or /
will cut your heart out" he Missed.
DR.. Wilcox did not lose his presence
Of mind or evince fear. He laughed
at the fellows threat.
Il thought of calling for help" said
he, "but I feared that would precipi-
tate matters. The fellow showed by
his conduct that he thought only of
wreaking vengeance on me, aud in
fact. he had forgotten all about NOR
phine. 1 stood near my drug case,
and the first object that my eye rest
ed upon was q, six ounce bottle Of
chloroform. quickly grabbed it, and
had hardly done so when the fiend
made lunge at me with the knife.
removed the cork, and as he followed
me 1 dashed some Of the liquid in his
face. 1t stopped him for a moment,
and In the interval 1 soaked my hand
kerchief with the fluid. He sprang at
me again, and the next instant I
grabbed his right arm with my left
hand and with THE other held the
saturated handkerchief over his mouth
and nostrils. He struggled furiously,
but as he was physically weak 1 sue
ceeded in holding him long enough to
give the chIoroform a chance to do it's
work. He sank to the floor completely
anaesthetized. I then gave him
shot of morphine and when he be-
came conscious he disclaimed all
knowledge of his attack upon me and
left the office. I never saw him be-
fore, and hope never to see him
again"
DR.. Wilcox escaped without a
scratch, but his coat was badly cut.

OUTRAGED AND KILLED.
AWFUL FATE OF AN EIGHT-YEAR.
OLD CHILD.
Crime That Has Sent n Thrill of
Horror Through Boston-The Au-
thor of it Has Been Caught-Body
Found in n Manure Heap.

Boston, April 13.-'The most revolt
ing crime known in Boston in many
years was unearthed by the police Of
Dorchester district, late this after
noon. when the body of Alice Sterling,
the S-year-old daughter of George w.
Sterling, of Savin Hall. was found
buried in the manure pile of the stable
on the Dennis estate.
The little girls skull had been
crushed in by a heavy blow with an
ak, and there were unquestionable in
dications that she had been outraged.
Angus d. Gilbert, might station
agent of the Savfn Hill station of the
Old Colony division of the New York
&c New Hampshire, is under arrest,
charged with the crime.
George Sterling, who is a hair dres-
Ser, reported to the police at mid
might last Wednesday, that his little
daughter had disappeared some time
during the afternoon. while Mrs.
Sterling and other members of the
family were away from home. Search
ing parties looked all day Thursday,
GERS Perkins and Smith were given
charge of the case, and yesterday the
latter were informed by Miss Edith
Reid that she had seen from her resi-
dance a man with a red mouStache and
light overcoat, leading the little Ster-
ling girl down the railroad track to-
ward the beach. From the description,
the officers decided the man they
wanted was Gilbert, the night station
agent at the depot. In the day time
he worked for G.. w. Em1nons. He
slept in an old stable on the Dennis
estate near by, and Miss Reid stated
she was positive that the man went in
this direction. The officers this after
noon instituted a search of the prem
iseS surrounding both the Dennis e5-
tate and the ErnmonS place. During
the search Gilbert was found at work
at the E,nmons place, and was placed
under arrest. The old stable was then
searched. Two old towels and bloody
rags were found in Gilbert's room
When the manure pile was searched,
Officer Perkins struck a human foot.
A body was pulled out and identified
as Alice Sterling. Her skull was
crushed, and the cause of her death
was apparent. Her clothing was torn,
showing the motive of the crime. A
bloody ak was found near by, con-
cealed under a beam. An autopsy will
be held Monday. Gilbert would not
admit the crime, but when brought
handcuffed to view the body. he trem-
bled like an aspen leaf.
Gilbert is rather stout. almost six
feet tall. and is IS years old. He came
from AIusquedoberl Harbor, Nova
Scotia, over a year ago and was con-
sidered a good business man.
Miss Reid, who furnished the clue,
and another woman living near by.
called at the station late tonight and
positively identified the prisoner as the
man they saw with the little girl on
Wednesday. Mrs. Sterling is prostra-
ted over the affair and is in a precar-
ious condition.
Gilbert was an acquaintance Of Ster-
ling and consequently was not I'M
known to the child.

Coming in Rapidly.

Washington, April 13.-Reports 20 the
internal revenue office here say the in
come tax returns are coming in very rap
of an additional clerical force has been
necessary. 1t is probable the revenue bu-
reau Will hold that the sale of standing
timber and royalties on COAL minerals,
Oil and gas-well producers. will be treated
as rents; and, therefore, not subject TO
tax.
As to the salary of United States judges
no official action has yet been taken, and
1t is probable nothing will be done until
the courts have decided the question. It
is believed many judges have already
made returns.
The petition asking re-hearing on the
Monday by Lawyer Guthrie. In view of
the Importance of the case, the impress
sion prevails that the court will grant tie
motion.
Justice Jackson's health has improved
considerably, of late, and 1t Is known he
recently expressed a determination to
come to Washington and resume his Off
clal duties at once, in case the income tax
suits are set down for immediate hear
ing. In view. of this fact, it is believed
the cases will be reopened and an early
decision will be given upon those por-
tons of the law upon which the eight
justices are now equally divided.
This sudden forcing of the income tax
suit to another early trial, is not agree
able to all parties to the last suit. and
very strong intimatiOn was given here to-
day that some of the counsel preferred
waiting until next autumn as the impress
sion prevails that Justice Jackson is IA
VOrable to the income tax law.
