EXTRACTED THE FISH BoNE.-Mrs'
Daniel Sanders, of Bridgeton, N. j.,
has been suffering from fish bone in
her throat. Her physicians could do
nothing to relieve her and it was fear
ed the obstruction would kill her. Her
son on Monday thought of novel plan
for the removal of the bone. He pre-
pared ball of silk the size of large
pea, TO which were left four ends few
inches in length. The sufferer swal-
lowed the ball, leaving the four ends
projecting from her mouth. DIR. Oliver
and the son manipulated these ends
until the bone became fastened in the
ball of silk and was easily withdrawn.
Mrs. Sanders, in the thirty-six hours
that the bone was in her throat, lost
twenty-five pounds in weight.

DEATH OF A REMARKABLE MAJ
Mr.. Michael w. Wallace, merchant,
who died at his home, Hillsboro', in
Albemarle county, Friday, aged seventy
years, was a remarkable man. Since a
youth he had been totally blind. Not
withstanding. he attended to his bust
ness with an exactitude that was a
little less than marvellous. He was a
farmer, and carried on merchandising
and other operations. His loss of sight
seemed to make his other senses more
acute, particularly that of feeling. 1t
was difficult matter to deceive him IN
the matter of coin, and it is said he
could go into his store and take down
any piece of goods, or lay his hand up,
on any article required. 1t is also said
that he could 60 into his orchard to any
tree designated. and give its history
and quality. He had watch with
raised figures on the face; tffrccm which
he -eesstd iidi give the exact time. He also
read his Bible daily.

Nicaragua's Offer of Compromise Expected
at Washington.


at Washington.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-The Managua
dispatch stating that Nicaragua has
agreed to compromise by which she
will pay e15, 500 on condition that Cor
into be evacuated and that the British
feet be withdrawn, is accepted by Off
oials here as summing up the latest
status of the subject. At the state de-
partment the news was seemingly ex-
pected, though no direct advices have
been received by the department. In
fact Minister Baker is now in Costa
Rica, and there is very little communi-
cation between this government and
the legation at Managua. Il was
learned at the department that the ac-
ceptance by Nicaragua of the terms
which have been proposed does not
mean that the affair is settled. 1t is
understood that Ambassador Bayard
throughout the controversy has had to
Encounter the Difficulty
which is still presented. The British
government wants the money paid in
the presence of the British fleet at Cor
into, for while the feet is still there
and the troops are in possession of the
town, the British government, accord
ing to a state department official, wants
the payment made as though under
duress. 1t is hoped, however, that the
offer made at the suggestion of the
United States, and which Managua ad-
vices say have been satisfactory to the
Nicaraguan government, will be agreed
to by Great Britain, though no assur-
ances to this effect have been received.

The Compromise Said to Be
Unsatisfactory to the

MANAGUA, May NO definite in
formation has been given out here as to
the attitude OF Great Britain on the
proposal that her warships be with
drawn from the port of Corinto as a
condition precedent to the payment in
London Is days later by Nicaragua Of
$77, 500 demanded by Great Britain. It
is known, however, that communica-
tions are actively passing between the
Managua and Washington govern
ments through Senor Guzman, the Mic
araguan minister, looking to securing
Great Britain's assent to the prompt
evacuation of eoriuto. The actual
terms for the bringing about of this end
Have Not Yet iseen Settled,
but, according to the information at
hand, it can be stated that Nicaragua
is willing to settle the trouble by ac-
cepting the proposition for a compro-
mise on the lines above set forth.
Considerable comment has been
caused by the seeming indisposition of
the United States to more actively in
tervene in the dispute, some prominent
persons holding that she should have
gone far in support of the Monroe doc
trine, but the general feeling is that, if
the trouble is settled honorably to both
disputants, thanks will be owing to the
United States.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, May 1.-Two men
fatally shot and one seriously injured
is the result of frustrated attempt to
rob Burlington train coming into this
city. For some days gang of tough
characters have been hanging around
st. George, suburb of this city, and
Tuesday night information was
brought to the Burlington officials that
the Omaha express was to be held up.
William Haag, a hotel man, furnished
the information and the officers sent
guards who frustrated the design.
Late Wednesday evening, while Rich
ard Rau, an emplOye of Haag, was sit
ting in the bar Of Haag's place.
Thomas Farrell, one of the gang, stepped
inside the door, while his partner, who
gives the name of Dan Howard,
watched on the outside. Farrell stepped
up to Rau, and, without word,

realizing that he had failed to get the
man who had given the information.
Several citizens started in pursuit Of
the two men, who ran out on the rail-
road tracks towards the Kansas bridge.
A number of shots were fired by both
parties, but without effect AS the
fugitives neared the bridge ex-Sherif
Carson and Officer Barry, who heard
the firing, jumped into a buggy and
gave chase, catching up with the two
men just as they were leaving the Kan
sas end of the bridge. Carson covered
Howard with a revolver and
Forced Him to Surrender.
Officer Barry attempted to capture Far
rel, who whipped out two rovolvers and
began firing, shooting the officer
through the arm. Then Farrell dashed
into the weeds, followed by Barry and
two other officers, Franz and Shea,
who arrived by this time, and battle
ensued during which over 40 shots
were fired. Farrell was finally shot
through the left breast, the bullet pass
ing through his lungs, and he is in a
dying condition. Farrell is supposed to
hail from ST. Louis, while Howard's
residence is so far unknown, as he re-
fuses to talk.

LONDON, May lit is learned from

change in the attitude of Great Britain
towards Nicaragua, the British govern
ment having no alternative but to in
sist upon a settlement of its demands

of Great Britain to seize ports in Hon.
