knew that Sullivan was physical wreck and in no shape to do battle The formidable name of Sullivan slone terrified him. At the opening of the "aotle he was painfully nervous and had to be braced up by mysterious
 eontes." /" It was only after he discoy- cred that Sullivan was slow as 0 cart horse and could not possibly hit him ?, saat he picked up courage and went at hls man. This was after the third round. He was very brave then and hammered the half-dead old lion un- ihercltully, the same as he did that eeher dissipated, broken down old man, 0naries Mitchell, of England.

 IL is only necessary here to consider the mental and physical attributes of two of these renowned gladiators and l will eonfne myself to them. These twain are James J. Corbett, heayv- weight champion of the world, and Robert Fitzsimmons, challenger of Cor bett and 1hiddle-weight champion of the world.
 When I say believe Corbett to be a coward 1 do not take into any consider alton whatever the unmanly assault he made on Fitzsimmons when backed up by q number of adherents in PhiladeI- phia few days ago or his timorous conduct when dared to an impromptu battle by Charles Mitchell at Miners theater two years ago. These, with other incidents of similar nature which have come to my knowledge, merely form links in the chain of argu- ment which go to prove the theory have enumerated.
 have made study of Corbett, the man; put him through a physical and mental diagnosis, so to speak, and through this means and this alone have arrived at the conclusion given above. Corbett came to me for treatment few months prior to his contest with John L. Sullivan. am violating no confi- dence when l say that among other things he was possessed of an abnor- mally high-strung nervous system, which I discovered to be the source of his greatest power and at the same time weakness. This nervous energy gave him wonderful quiclzness of hand and eye and nimbleness of foot, yet it detracted from his physical strength As q crisis of any kind would approach Gorbett would become so nervous that he actually seemed on the verge of prostration. He reminded me for all the world Of that HercuIean oarsman, Charles E. Courtney, of Ithaca, N. Y. late trainer of the Cornell college crew. Courtney, who was at one time invincible, it will be re- membered, would be overcome with nervous prostration as the hour ap- preached ftra consest with a foeman worthy of his steel. This was notably the case in his races with Hanlan at Chautauqua lake and at Washington. With an adversary whom he knew positively he could defeat he would not experience these prostrations. So with Corbett. When he was going up against Joe Brady, the Port Costa giant, Dave Campbell and clumsy chaps like them, Corbett would never be unduly nervous, but the moment he faced an opponent whose courage and skill he had reason to respect he would be overwhelmed with extreme nerv- ousness. Excessive nervousness causes eowardiee, and Gorbett is certainly afflicted with this disagreeable malady.
 ] am told on the best authority that Gorbett became so nervous and fright ened as the train bearing him and his party approached the scene of the pros pectiye battle between Sullivan and himself that he was overcome with diarrh@a and fell away in his trained condition from one hundred and eighty six to one hundred and seventy-eight pounds. This, too, mind you, when he

Covington. KY, April 11.-State Sena-
tor w. e. Goebel shot and killeu Cashier
John Sanford, of the Farmers and
Traders bank, this evening in front of
the First National bank of this city.
Senator Goebel, accompanied by At
torney General Hendricks, of Kentucky
and Frank Helm, president of the First
National bank. was Ell route to the
bank. When they reached the door,
there stood Sanford. He shook hands
with Hendricks. using his left hand.
Then he asked Goebel II he wrote an
article that lately appeared in the pa
pers attacking him. Goebel answered
'I' did"
Immediately Sanford fired, the ball
passing through Goebers trousers
Quick as a flash Goebel leveled his re-
volver and fired. To do so he had to
place the pistol beneath Helms chin.
The ball crashed through Sanford $
forehead, who fell in the doorway Of
the bank, blood oozing from his fatal
wound Helms chin was badly pow
der burned
Great commotion prevailed instantly
the street and bank being crowded at
the time. During the confusion Sena-
tor Goebel walked to the station house
and called up his brother Justus, who is
member of the firm of Lowry & Goe-
bel, of Cincinnati. Senator Goebel then
emerged from the telephone box, and
addressing the lieutenant in charge,
said: II wish to surrender myself

Chief Goodson placed Goebel under
arrest. but allowed him to sit in his
private office. Senator Goebel was calm
at first, but later became visibly ex-
cited. At first he refused to discuss the
affair, but under the excitement he
finally gave his version of it.
Here is the reason | killed him." ex-
he, as he showed where the ball of San
ford's pistol had passed through his
trousers, tearing away a portion of
cloth.

ROBBER PERRY ESCAPES.
The Central Train Ropber and Four Other
Birds Fly by Night from Mattcwan.

Mattewan, n. Y, April 11.-Oliver
Curtis Perry. the noted New York Cen
tral train robber. and four other pris-
oners, escaped from the state asylum
here at a late hour last night. Perry's $
companions We're: Patrick Mcguire
and Michael O'Donnell, both burglars
of New York city; John Quigley, of As
toria, and Frank Davis, of New York.
All were dressed in the asylum garb
and were without hats when they es-
capped The men had been locked in
separate rooms last evening and were
supposed to be absolutely secure. Night
Attendant Carmody, while making his
rounds in the isolation annex, was at
tackled and overpowered, tied to the
bed in .Perry's room and his mouth
stuffed with rags to prevent him max
ing an outcry. With keys obtained
from Carmody the prisoners gained ac-
cess to the attic over the chapel and by
the aid OF q scaffold easily reached the
roof which is about twenty feet from
the ground. The men escaped from the
roof by means of the water conductors.
1t is considered very singular that
while hours have elapsed since the
men left the hospital not a person has
been found who admits having seen any
of them. The fact is strengthening a
suspicion that taccomplices have been at
hand who aided the escape, for unless
they are in hiding very near the hos
pital they could not very well have
gone far without being noticed in their
peculiar garb

Presiding Elder Henry M. Cryden-
wise of the Chenango district present.
ed the annual report of his district,
from which X appeared that over $S, 900
had been raised for church work; 81, 800
had been devoted to the Preachers Aid
society; all the pastors had received
their salaries and the money raised for
missionary purposes was sufficient to
bring them within the million and a
half line. The year which had just
closed was the happiest in his life and
ministry, and he thanked the pastors
and laymen for the great and valuable
assistance accorded him.
Chaplain McCabe was prevailed upon
to make an address, in which he asked
the meeting to help him in procuring
100000 subscribers to his missionary
periodical, so that he could command q
large patronage of advertisement. A
large number of subscription pledges
were made.
Mcthodism In Rome.
Rev. w. ii. Pearce spoke of a visit
paid by Mrs. Pearce, last summer, to
the Methodist church now being built at
Rome, in which the chaplain was in
terested, and urged that assistance
be given toward defraying the cost.
William Connell was introduced by
Bishop Andrews. and, as treasurer for
the conference trustees made an ex.
planation with regard to request from
the trustees that the conference would
sanction the payment of the salary of
Rev. A. Griffin, the agent for Preachers
Aid society. Mr.. Griffin was appointed
one year ago, but under the bylaws,
section Z, article 3, it was necessary that
conference should sanction the expendi-
ture. The request was unanimously
granted.
Presiding Elder Thorpe, of the Homes
dale district, presented his annual re-
port. in which he said:
'Honesdale district includes ninety
seven different preaching places.
SiXty-nine of these are in our own
churches. three in union churches
two in halls especially provided and the
other twenty-three in school houses.
This field during the year has been
manned by twenty-eight members of
the conference and seven supplies.
"The average salary paid the regular
pastors is $3.50 and parsonage, the pre-
siding elder being privileged to live in
his own hired house." at the cost of
two hundred ,dolla1s per year. The
salaries on several charges are supple
mented by donations ranging from
twenty to one hundred and fifty dollars
1.-The highest salary is 81, 200, the low
est $500, excepting two special arrange
ments made with supplies.
THE amounts expended on church
and parsonage improvements Aand re-
pairs exclusive of $4,000 paid by Car
bondale on their debt, $3.5O0 by Peck
vile $1,000 cash by Girdland and 81 ,O0O
cash in the Waymart parsonage, aggre-
gates fully $1,000
THE letter and spirit of the economy
of Methodism is being regarded so far
as the pecularities of rural territory
will allow. The devotion and labors
of pastors and churches in many in
stances promised larger results than
will appear on the face of the reports.
Seven hundred and forty-seven have
been reported to me as the accessions
by probation during the year"

berry, Formerly of Easton.
Easton, Pa, April 11.-Frank Rose
berry. of Omaha. Neb., formerly of
Easton, who obtained so much money
on fraudulent mortgages, reaped quite
a harvest in this section. One mort
gage for $1,000 was drawn payable to
Sarah A. Stryker, of this city, and
another for like amount to her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Sharps Shipmen, of Phillips
burg, N. j. Others were to Henry Pur-
sell and wife, Phillipsburg. for amounts
aggregating $1,000, and still another to
Edward Hughes, of Flnesville, N. j.,
for $4,000.
In addition to these he invested his
mothers estate. valued at $4,000. BY
this investment, his brothers and sis
ters, who were heirs with him, will lose
all their inheritance. Roseberry left Eas-
ton thirteen years ago, and frequently
came back. He represented that he
was quite wealthy and owned blocks of
real estate in Omaha, and that he had
an orange grove in California. He
promised eight per cent. interest on the
money borrowed and for the first three
years paid Mrs. Stry ker her interest.
After that the money was not forth
coming.
Roseberry, while resident of Easton
and Phillipsburg, was an exemplary
young man.

man said: i've killed our son."
Then she went rapidly on and de-
scrlbed her deed. The murder was Of
the most brutal description.
Shortly after her husband had gone
to work Mrs. Hobbley arose, leaving the
boy in bed. She went into the yard and
secured a large stone. Then returning
to the. side of her sleeping boy, she
crushed his head with repeated blows.
Mrs. Hobbley gives as her reason for
the crime the fact that the boy had to
work too hard and would be happier
dead. She is about 40 years of age, and
has acted strangely lately. The wo-
man has not yet been placed under ar

signs OF Tragedy Arc Discovered on a
Minnesota Parm.
Long Prairie, Mimi, April 11.-What
is supposed to be murder mystery is
exciting the people OF this section The
case was brought to light by Frank
Gallus, Of Hartford. at the old Gusind
farm. which has not been occupied dur
ing the past winter. While driving past
the place, Gallus noticed a buggy
standing near the tumble-down barn.
Going to the place he found horse,
almost dead from starvation, in the
barn and outside signs which indicated
that a tragedy had occurred there.
Today 1t was learned that a week ago
Saturday Frank Whittier, farmer liv-
ing near Hartford, was visited by a
young cousin from the east, Miss Norah
McManus. She went away suddenly
one day, and Mr.. Whittier supposed she
was visiting with some neighbors
Since she disappeared she has not been
seen. but a farmer living near here
claims to have seen a young woman
and a man driving in the direction Of
Gusind's place, nearly ten days ago,
engaged in q wordy war. Word has
been received here from Miss McManus
home that she is not there.

OIL ON THE JUMP.
Phenomenal Advance i'm the Price Of
Unparalleled Since 1915.

Unparalleled Since 1916.
Oil City, Pa, April 1.-THE fourth
consecutive day of the phenomenal ad-
vance in the price of oil was passed to-
day and the boom in oil markets this
week stands without a parallel since
1876 The first quotation on the certi-
ficate oil market today was 15OA, and
the first sale was 100. The market
broke to 1853 at 1890, then advanced to
1891 at Ills a. m, and to $50 at 12.45
p. m, the highest price since Dec. 20.
1877, when 1914 was touched. 1t fluc-
tuated wildly during the last hour.
reaching IT'S bid at 2.30 p. M. declining
to 16S near 3 p. M, and closing at 1863
bid.
An advance of fifty points per gal
lon on refined oil was quoted from New
York at noon, which was the cause of
advance in May option oil to $50. Re-
fined oil in barrels Is quoted at eighth
and half per gallon and 9 cents per
gallon in bulk.
Producers and not spectators are
reaping the benefit of this advance in
OIL Prior to 1890 the oil exchanges
were the curse of the oil producers.
In 1882 and 1888. the last big advance
in prices the oil country went mad
over gambling on the exchanges. OIL
producers would sell their credit bal
ances to buy certificates on margin and
the large producers would deposit their
certificates with brokers to buy op-
tions. Now they are selling their crude
and banking the cash. 1t is rumored
here tonight that conference of some
sort is in progress in New York be-
tween officials of the United States Pipe
line and Standard Oil company people
Just what the conference is about no
one seems to venture an opinion, but
it seems obvious that IT has to do with
the big advance in prices.
