A Man Supposed to be Joseph Pach-
nor of Milwaukee Receives
Fatal Injuries.

Chicago, H., Dec. IA man supposed
to be Joseph Pachner of Milwaukee died
at 2 o'clock this morning in the Emer-
gency hospital at Evanston. The mans
death was the result of a fracture of the
skull, the cause of which is as yet IN
known.
Last night when the Chicago & North
Western train pulled into Evanston at
IL o'clock the body was carried from
the baggage car and deposited on a
truck at the station, the trainmen say
ing not a word to anyone. The body
was found to be that of a man about
30 years of age. The head and neck
were covered with blood and little evil
dence of life could be detected. The
man was, however. taken into the wait
ing room, physicians sent for and finally
he was sent to the Emergency hospital.
The only clue to the mans identity was
a letter in his pocket from the chief of
police in Waukegan to the chief of po-
lice in Chicago. This letter said that
the bearers name was Joseph Pachner
and that he was a shoemaker OF Mil
waukee. but had been unable to get FORK
Of late and was on his way to the South
where he had friends. The physicians
were unable to tell how the man re-
ceived the wound from which he died,
but were inclined to the belief that lie
had been struck by an engine. Chief of
Police Rartram of Evanston is highly
indignant at the action Of the employees
Of the Chicago & North-We stern rail.

ON TIE CONTINENT
Considerable Loss of Life on British
Coast-AntWarp Showed
UD.

London, Dec. THE exceptionally
heavy weather which has prevailed dur
ing the past week over the British isles
continues today. There have been num-
berlese small wrecks reported and con-
damage has been done TO ship
ping. but the loss of life has been small.
The lightship at the mouth of the River
Dee was blown away this morning with
her crew of five men. The telegraph
lines in the northern part of the country
have been damaged and communication
is interrupted.
The gale is very violent over the North
sea and it is feared that the number of
wrecks will be considerably added to.
A dispatch from Antwerp says that
traffic in the streets of that city has been
stopped and that navigation of the
Scheldt is impossible. The Red Star line
steamer Friesland was, however, able to
leave for New York. Several ships were
ashore OF the Dutch coast and the Ger
man bark Libertas from Kotka has been
wrecked near Nieuwediep. Only two of
her crew were saved, the remainder being
drowned after the bark was driven
ashore. where she soon became q total
loss. The bodies of four members of her
crew have been washed ashore.

Chicago Department
Store.

Chicago, H., Dee. 9.-Five hundred
thousand dollars is the estimate made by
I'll. Wolf & Co. of the damage inflicted
early Sunday morning by a blaze that de-
stroyed the fve-story brick building at

ing alone. estimated at S3o,oo0 falls
Upon Katharine Seipp. The loss, iii
both cases, is covered by insurance, the
names Of the companies interested not
being obtainab1e yesterday. The only
casualty reported was the injury re
ceived by John Porr, a fireman of truck
6, who was struck on the head and
shoulders by falling debris while fighting
the flames. Slight losses were also in
ficted upon several firms occupying adj
jacent buildings by the food of water
that filed the Easements.
The origin of the fire is not known.

NO INDIAN OUTBREAK.
War Department Officials Think the
Trouble was Caused by
a Few Hunters.

Washington, D. c., Dec. Three dis
patches relating to slight Indian troubles
in Arizona were received at the war de-
Ger at Fort Grant reported that on the
periodical "round up" at the San Carlos
reservation December 5 it was found
that five Indian warriors belonging to
NOziaS' band of ApacheS were absent.
Capt. Bell was Immediately sent after
them to bring them iii if possible.
The commanding officer at Fort Apache
telegraphed that "Old George who
camps on Turkey creek on the road to
Sulliva n%sville. is suspected of having
killed Mr.. Merrill and his daughter. A
detachment of troops has been sent to
Georges camp and the Indian police
have been started out to ascertain if any
strangers are on the reservation. The
same officer later telegraphed that an In
dian has been reported killed near Cibuq
on December 5 by a party of five armed
white men. They left a pack mule in
the hands of the Indians by which the
party may be identified. A troop from
Ike Seventh cavalry has been sent to
investigate.
The wal department officials do not
believe there is anything in these small
events to warrant apprehension of my
general Indian outbreak lii Arizona.
The impression prevails in official cir
cles that the real foundation of the agi-
tation i'll Arizona over these happenings.
which are not unusual on the approach
of winter, is a desire to have the garri-
son at Fort Thomas restored.
a dispatch TO the Indian bureau today
announced that the Apache Indians
whom the troops were detailed to bring
back, have been returned TO the San
Carlos reservation. The dispatch is as
follows:
The six Indians from Nosey's camp.
ruInored to have done the killing. are now
at the agency, having been brought in by
futile and the Indian police. Their ponies
were loaded down with nine deer. VIII

ports of the threatened outbreak. The
Apaches have the reputation of being

OLNEY GETS THE NOTE.
Sir Julian Pauncefote Formally
Presents h Venezuelan
Document.

Washington, D. c., Dec. THE reply
of Lord Salisbury to Secretary Olney's
note of instructions to Ambassador Bay
ard relative to the Venezuelan boundary
dispute was delivered to Secretary Olney
at noon today. Donelson, the messenger
Of the British embassy, came early to the
state department this morning, with a
note from Sir Julian Pauncefote asking
for an appointment to see the secretary.
This was arranged for speedily and Sir
Julian presented the note in person to
the secretary, the ambassador himself
reading its contents to Mr.. Olney, as is
the custom when important documents
are presented.
For some reason the state department
officials took steps to prevent the fact
that the note had been delivered from
gaining publicity, but without avail. AT
the British embassy there was the same
indisposition to give any publicity to the
proceedings. All inquiry as to the ma
ture of the note failed to secure response
from any official and it probably will be
preserved as an official secret, as far as
the Washington authorities are con-
cerned, until the President, upon his re-
turn, has had an opportunity to con-
slider it and send it to Congress, but it
is known to be on the same general lines
indicated in the Associated press dis
patches of this week. .rl

TO CURB THE JUDGES.
Louisiana Congressman Thinks La
boring Men Need Pro-
teCtiOn,

Washington, D.. c., Dec. 7.-[Special.l
The labor people of Milwaukee and the
Northwest in general, and Judge Jenkins
and the Northern Pacific people in par
t%icular, Will be interested in two bills in
troduccd in the House yesterday by Mr..
Boatner of Louisiana. 1t will be re-
membered that Mr.. Boatner was one of
the leading spirits in the movement in
the last Congress to impeach Judge Jen-
kins for his famous strike" decision in
tho Northern Pacific railroad case and
that be served as chairman of the COM
mittee which went to Milwaukee to in
yestigate the judge.
Those who remember these circumstan-
ces will not be surprised that he has in
troduced two bills intended to curtail
the powers of the United States courts
in respect to the management of rail
roads in receiyerships in SO far as they
effect the workingmen. One bill prohib-
its the courts of the United States from
enforcing specific performance of con-
tracts for personal services by writS of
injunction or other legal process and the
other limits the power of the judges of
the United States to punish for contempt
of court, practically destroying that
power where it might be exercised
against laboring men who refused to
obey such an order as the amouS strike
injunction. 1t will be remembered that
Judge Jenkins celebrated order took the
ground that a w~orkingman employed by
a railroad was under contract with road
and could not quit work when he
pleased, and it will be seen that Mr..
Boatner's first bill takes the ground out
from under the judges feet, while his
second bill pr:,cticallNtakes away from
the court its power to enforce an order
against the W~orkingInen.

Is HAYWARD INSANE?
He May be Only Feigning Madness
lie Passed q. Wild
Night.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dee. 9.--John j..
Smith, who was associate counsel for
Harry Hayward in the trial, forwarded
to Gov. Clough this morning a last ap-
peal. The attorney asserts strongly his
belief that Hayward is insane and that
it would be a crime to hang him. He
asks the governor to stay the execution
until he can appoint a commission to-
look into tho prisoners condition. There
is little likelihood that the request Will
be granted.
Hayward passed a wild night Of it.
He is either rapidly becoming insane
or is f~eigning such a condition. About
; O'Clock this morning he got up from
his pallet and shouted to his death watch
that Jesus Christ was in one corue of
his cell and Satan in the other. He
rayed frightfully and declared that he
was afraid of neither. Then he began to-
throw imaginary intruders out of his
cell. 1t was daylight before he quoted
down.
This morning he said he would write
a history of the past ten years of his
life, telling everything without reserve.
His cousin, Ernest Goodsell, would ar
rive today from Chicago, he said. to take
charge of the publication. He would
dictate the matter to someone tomorrow.
The carpenters are hard at work on
the gallows and the clatter of the ham
mers easily penetrates to Harry's cell.
At the first soun4 he said to his watch,
with that horrid, mirthless laugh of his:
They're off,
May the curse of God fall on Won
and yours. and allow me from the min
ute | drop from the scaffold to haunt you
dav and night until your death. Then I
will welcome YOU on the brink of hell
with a red-hot iron"
These were the farewell words of Har-
ry Hayward to his brother Adry the 9TH
err afternoon. He hurled them at the
latter as he passed through the iron
doorway to the outer office. 1t was
their last meeting on earth, and such the
murderer intended it to be. Adry was
az calm as the prisoner was impassioned.
He was unmoved by the anathemas. ex-
cept toward pity. His was the brother
" affection and the fervent Good bless.

ELECTED the remark quoted above.
