Prepared For His Suicide.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, July S.-A
special to the Times Union from
Tallahassee, Fla says:
About five years ago Elliott
Todd came here from st. Louis
and engaged in dairy farming. He
had a place eleven miles from
town. Yesterday morning he was
found by a servant, in his bed in an
insensible condition with a sixty
grain morphine bottle by his side
with half the contents gone and it
is supposed that he must have
taken about 80 grains. He died in
q little while.
Todd was a single man aged
about 40 years. He was not finan-
cially embarrassed and his friends
are at loss to account for his
rash act. Negroes on the place say
that he acted strangely on Thurs
day. He had prepared for death,
1t is said, by writing detailed in
structions as to his business affairs.

A SEWER SUGGESTION.

Now that the City Council has
got control Of the sewer contract
and is about to make q transfer to
another firm, and to let the con-
tractor out, 1t would be we'll to
clear up any doubts in the con-
tract. How about the connections
from the sewer mains to the curb
will this work be open to competi-
tion, or will the property owners
be subject to the exactions Of q
monopoly? The city should take
bids for those connections. 1t is
understood that the contractors
claim exclusive right to put down
connections.
There is big loop hole here, and
an opportunity Is offered for the
people to be gouged. It ia claimed
that private contractors are ready
to do this work at about one-half
of what the sewer contractors pro-
pose to charge.

LIEUT.. o'sRIEN RECALLED.
He Spoke His MIND Too Freely
About the Japanese Cruelties
at Fort Arthur.

NEW YORK, July S.-A special to
a local paper from Washington
says: "Lieut. M. j. O'Brien of the
army, military attache at Pekin,
has been directed to return home
and the fact is one which the off,
GERS on duty at the war depart.
ment are discussing quietly but
with much interest. Lieutenant
O'Brient was attached to the lega-
tion at Pekin shortly after the war
between China and Japan began.
He was selected by Lieut.. Gen.
Sheffield. The course of the war
would, it was believed, develop re-
suits which for military reasons it
would be necessary to observe and
report upon. Other countries
would hove their army and navy
officers in China and Japan and
the United States must be in a pc.
sition to obtain the valuable in
formation on the field and seas
that foreign representatives would
secure. Officials at the war de-
partment will not speak frankly
in relation to their unexpected &C.
ton in recalling Lieut.. O'Brien.
They say in the way Of explanation
the war in China is at an end and
there is little necessity of retaining
officers In the Orient. They
say also that it has never been in
tended to keep an officer perma-
nently at Pekin. Considering the
circumstances the explanation is
not considered satisfactory. Well
informed subordinates at the de-
partment intimate that the real
reason why the officer has been re.
called is diplomatic question.
They speak of the case with much
caution but one more laxative
than others limited that Japan has
informed the state department
that Lieut. O'Brien is a persona
non gratis. 1t appears that a
short time ago Lieut.. O'Brien
wrote letter to Minister Dun re.
lating the alleged Japanese atroci-
ties at Port Arthur, in which while
speaking In complimentary man.
ner Of the conduct of the Mikado's
troops during the campaign, he
said he witnessed at that place
shocking acts OF violence and bru-
tality on the part Of the Japanese.
The letter has not been published.
Lieut.. O'Brien says some pleasant
things OF the army which lessen
but do not relieve the sting of his
words,

storm washed out bridge near

and there were signs of a bad

THAT SIBERIA FIGHT
Confirmed by the Testimony of An
Eye Witness.

LOUISVILLE. KY, July S.-Jo-
seph Lucas, who was at his home
near Siberia, Ind, when the battle
of religious factions took place on
July 4th, arrived in Louisville to-
day, and confirms the story. Mr..
Lucas was seen tonight by a re-
porter for the Com mercial. When
asked about the matter he said:
81 see that since the first report
was sent out 1t has been stated that
no such battle occurred. Now, l
have just come from Siberia, and l
know that there was fight, and
big one at that. One man was
killed and several more were badly
wounded.
81 do not know how the fight
started, except that the partici-
pants were a number of German
Catholics, who were having
Fourth Of July picnic, and crowd
of outsiders who attended the pic.
mic. The fight was desperate one,
and in it clubs, knives and beer
glasses were used with terrible ef-
feet. The fight lasted nearly three
quarters Of an hour, and at the end
of that time over dozen men were
stretched on the ground.
"Sam. Wilson, who led the at
lacking party, was killed, his skull
being crushed. Three other men,
Robert Dodge, Peter Bennett and
Fred. Elmer, were injured. l do not
know to which party they be-
longed."
From Mr.. Lucas statement 1t is
evident that the first account, ii
not absolutely correct, was true in
the main.
