"Perhaps you would not think so,
but a very large proportion of diseases
in New York comes from carelessness
about catching cold," Says DIR, Syrus
Edison. sit is such sim pie thing and
so common that very few people, unless
it is case of pneumonia. pay any at
tention to cold. New York is one of
the healthiest places on the Atlantic
Coast and yot there are great many
cases Of catarrh and consumption which
have their origin in this neglect of the
simplest precaution of every day life.
The most sensible advise is, when you
have one get rid of it as soon as possible.

HIS MURDEROUS ATTACK.
Thomas y. Hanly Attempts to Kill His
Mother and Brother With a
Hatchet

Thomas J. Hanly, 233 Valencia street,
made murderous attack with hatchet
last night upon his mother, Mrs. Annie
Hanly, and his brother, Jesse C. Hanly, a
compositor.
Mrs. Hanly, who had been sick for two
or three weeks, was sitting at the open
window of the front room looking out
upon the street when her son Thomas
crept up behind her and dealt her blow
with the blunt end of a hatchet. She
screamed and he struck her again and
again. Jesse G. Hanly was stretched out
on the lounge asleep and Thomas turned
his attention to him. He attacked him
with the ak and struck him repeatedly on
the head.
Policeman Cooke was standing on the
corner OF Fourteenth street and ran to the
scene. When he got there Thomas turned
upon him and a desperate struggle ensued,
till he was finally oyerpowered and hand
cutted. Two charges of assault to murder
were placed against him at the City Prison
There were eight wounds in Jesse's scalp
and his skull was fractured in one place.
Mrs. Hanly had six wounds in her scalp
and her skull was fractured in four places.
She is in critical condition.
Thomas has not been well for several
months. and it is said has been insane of
late, which is the only reason that can be
attributed for his attempt to murder his
mother and brother.

In New Quarters.

On account of the proposed removal OF
the building at the southwest corner OF
Third and Market streets preparatory to
the erection of the big building for the
San francisco CALL, several very promi-
nent merchants have been compelled to Sc
cure new quarters. Among the number
vast. Lundy, who for more than twenty
years had conducted jewelry business on
that corner. His new location, No. 16 Ellis
street, is splendid one, being practically
upon Market street. The salesroom is
large, and presents that carefully selected
stock of Jewels, silverware and precious
stones, for which this store has become
celebrated. This handsome establishment
marks an innovation among the mercan-
tile houses of Ellis street, and furnishes an
opportunity for congratulation on the part
of old patrons of this firm. While there
are large number of men engaged in this
particular line of business, few are so prac-
tical in the application of their knowledge
as Mr.. Lundy, and consequently few are
able to give such universal satisfaction to
their patrons.

the Exercise Spins Yes
+arIov

The Y. NJ. c. A. cyclers were out in rae
ing togs of the colors of the rainbow yes
terday afternoon trying their speeding
qualifications on the fve-lap track at Cen.
tral Park.
Two exercising spins, in the way oi
races, were down on the card, and, while
they were not particularly exciting, they
demonstrated the easy superiority of J. E
Edwards over the rest of the riders entered
against him. The first was a half-mile
scratch, with J. E. Edwards, J. Keller, f.
Bronson and A. Larsen entered. 1t was 8
walkaway for Edwards, his competitors
being beaten in the first 100 yards. He
bumped in first in ! IL 1-5, with Keller
who made the next good showing, second
Larsen was never in it.
In the mile spin, handicap, there were
seven entries: j. E. Edwards, scratch; ]
Keller, 80 yards; T. Stackpole, 50 yards
f. Bronson. 80 yards; t. Burr, 80 yards
B. Waterman, ITO yards, and A. Larsen
lbs yards
At the signal the men were pushed of
nicely, Edwards, the scratch man, making
such wonderful squirt that, by the time
the first lap had been covered, he was uI
with the winning. He took things easy
following Keller and Burr, who were rid
ing fast ahead, and, as the bell announced
the beginning of the fifth lap, he spurte6
ahead and came in ahead in 2:27. Burr
was second, Keller third and the rest no
where.

SAT ON GIANT POWDER.
He Touched Off the Deadly
Explosive and Was Blown
to Atoms.
HIS RESIDENCE DESTROYED
James Fisk Was Determined to
Deprive His Wife OF
Home.

PORTLAND, Or, July 20.-A special
from Ciatskanie gives particulars OF the
fearful death of James Fisk, well-known
resident of the Clatskanie country, who
blew himself up with can OF giant pow
der.
Fisk was a wealthy lumberman. He
was happily married, but recently began
to have difficulty with his wife. Domestic
troubles, coupled with financial losses,
made him despondent, and he carried out
Iong-threatened plan of committing sui
eide. A few weeks ago his wife left him
and Fisk got desperate. He had home
elegantly furnished, and remarked to a
friend:
''I'n fix the business so that my wife will
not get the house-you see if 1 don't"
He went upstairs to the garret, where he
kept several kegs of giant powder for blow
ing ND stumps He brought a keg down,
sat down upon it, and lighted match. A
fearful explosion followed, and the house,
together with all contents, was blown to
atoms.
What was left was reduced to ashes, and
nothing but few charred embers are left
to tell the tragic story of the lonely man s
fate.
When the nelghbors searched Tor Fisk
all that could be discovered were one foot
with a portion of the ankle attached, a
part OF hand and some fingers. These
Z fragments had been blown some distance
from the house, and in that manner es-
capped being destroyed by fire. Several OF
the rafters to which were attached shingles
were also found quite a distance from
where the dwelling mad stood, where they
had been hurled by the force of the explo-
sion. On the under side of the rafters were
found a quantity OF blood and traces OF
powder.
Fisk was At years old, and bore an excel
lent reputation as a steady, industrious
man. He had decided nearly all of his
land to his wife, and the house and con-
tents, valued about $4,000, he evidently in
tended she should not have.

During the early part of the war, when a
mere youth, he was member of the Sum-
ner Light Guard of the First Regiment of
California and resigned to take a commits
sion for the purpose of raising Company
K, Seventh Regiment, California Yolun-
teers. He was commissioned as second
lieutenant conditionally that if he raised
the company IN forty-tive days he should
be commissioned captain of the company.
He raised 115 men in thirty days.
The company rendered hard frontier SER
vice IN this State, Arizona and New MeXi-
co, participating in many skirmishes and
fights with Indians, Captain Shepard be-
ing wounded in the neck and breast, the
last wound nearly proving fatal. He was
honorably discharged March /, 1866, at San
Francisco, Cal, and was rendered second
lieutenant's commission i'll the United
States army, but declined. He was subse-
quently appointed to a position in the sur
geon-general's office III Washington, d. G..
Captain Shepard has been prominent in
Grand Army circles for many years past.
When in Washington he was member of
Kit Carson Post No. of the Department
of the Potomac. In 1884, on account of i'll
health, he resigned his position i'll the
surgeon-generaps Office, and returned to
California, where he engaged In the pro-
curing of pensions for the old veterans.
He soon discovered that the old SOL
diers were compelled to pay from 81 to 81
every time they wanted paper signed re-
lating 10 their claims for pensions. After
trying to persuade the County Clerk
of San Francisco to remit the charges, he
framed bill and had it introduced into the
Legislature to do away with all fees by
County Clerks in pension cases, but it
failed to pass After three efforts the bill
was passed IN 1887, since which time all
papers relating to pensions have. been
executed by County Clerks free OF charge,
thus saving thousands of dollars yearly to
the old soldiers and their heirs.
This he followed up by having bill
passed by Congress doing away with fees
in all United States Courts and by terri
torial officials, for executing vouchers IN
pension cases.
Last winter he introduced a bill in our
Legislature for the benefit OF widows and
heirs of soldiers of all wars. 1t failed to
pass.

TEACHERS PENSION FUND,
Treasurer Widber Will Begin
Preparing for 1t on
Next Payday.
Taken Under Amusement Until
More Legal Advice Can
Be Obtained.

The Schoolteachers' Retirement Fund
Commission, consisting OF Mayor Sutro,
City Treasurer Widber and Superinten-
dent of Schools Moulder, decided to put
the new teachers pension law into full
operation on the 1st day of August, and
will attempt to render it active in spite of
the antiquities in the wording of the doc
Ument.
The reading of a letter from the secretary
of the Board of Education, calling atten-
ton to the fact that William White, a
teacher, had applied to be retired on an
allowance Of $40 month, brought the mat
ter up, and the measure was discussed at
length to ascertain, if possible, how the
apparent obstacles in the way of making
it fully operative could be overcome.
Treasurer Widber stated his reasons for
not beginning to deduct from the salaries
OF teachers at the last payday. He said
that at that time there were many matters
in relation to the law which he did not
fully understand, and that, as his Office was
in turmoil, he had no time to look them
up and he also wished to consult the other
members of the commission before pro-
ceeding He thought that while other
means of carrying out the law than those
prescribed by the measure might be of
greater advantage, it was best to give
the letter of the law full trial before
departing from it. After some further
talk it was decided that from the present.
and until it is proved worthless, the law
must be carried out. Treasurer Widber
was instructed to begin on next PAYDAY to
withhold 1 per cent of the pay of those who
had given notification that they desire to
take advantage of the law.
William White, asking to be retired on
pension Of $45 a month and inclosing a
check for $500. This was made necessary
by the provision of the law, which says
that three years must elapse between the
time pension is applied for and the time
the first installment falls due, unless iu
cases of great necessity, when $500 must be
paid by the applicant to cover the install
ments until a sufficient sum has aceumn-
Ia ted from the l per cent deductions to
carry the former on.
Mr.. Whites case was considered a good
one on which to base precedent. He
was stricken with paralysis some months
ago while engaged in giving lesson, and
has been unable to do any work since.
The discussion was favorable to the dis
abled teachers petition, but no action was
taken on it, as the Commissioners wished
to obtain legal advice on some minor mat
ters before bringing the question to con-
clusion. The meeting was adjourned for
this purpose and will meet at the call of
the chair at the earliest moment that the
proper advice can be secured.

Mrs. Anderson's Suit.

The papers in the suit of Mrs. Christine

great amount of trouble in convincing the
