ANOTHER MYSTERY.
A Woman Murdered In San Francisco.-
A Suspected Man Fatally Hurt.

San Francisco, Juno 3.-The police are
still looking for the murderer of Miss
Harrington, whose mutilated body was
found in her house on Ellis street yes
terday. The woman had been stabbed
and beaten to death by means Of some
blunt instrument which has not yet been
found. Other occupants of the house
told the police Of an elderly man who
called frequently on Miss Harrington
and who took her out driving.
In the murdered woman's room was
found photograph Of ex-State Senator
l.. w. Buck, one Of the most prominent
fruit growers Of the state. The people
of the house identified the picture Of
Buck as that of the man who called to
see Miss Harrington. The police sent to
Senator Bucks house in Oakland and re-
qucsted him to come to San Francisco
and tell what he knew of the case.
Mr.. Buck started to drive to the sta
ton, but on the way was thrown from
his buggy and seriously injured. He IS
suffering from conclusion of the brain
and may not recover. Senator Buck was
at his home yesterday between the hours
Of IL and 3 O'clock and it is known that
the murder was committed between IL
and l O'Clock.
A young japanese who had engaged
room in the house has been detained
pending investigation, but 1t is not be-
lieved he had anything to do with the
murder.
Ex-senator Bucks physicians said to-
night that the injured man could not
possibly survive. and his death is only
a question of few hours. When pitch
ed out of the buggy Mr.. Buck struck
the ground on his head, fracturing the
skull.
While the police will not say definitely
that they suspect Senator Buck of the
murder. their actions lead to the belief
that they think he knows something
about it. 1t has been proved that Buck
was n constant caller on Miss HarrinE-
ton and had taken her driving and TO
various resorts The police say that the
murder was committed by some one init
mately acquainted with Miss Harrington
and her habits.

THE PULLMAN COMPANY WINS
DecIsion In the Proceedings to Annul Its
Charter.

Chicago, June 3.-Several months ago
Attorney General MalOney began quo
warranto proceedings against the Pull
man Palace Car Co. for the purpose of
taking away the company's charter and
terminating its corporate existence. In
his information the attorney general set
up that the company had violated its
charter by buying real estate and build
ing the town of Pullman; by erecting
and operating the Pullman building in
this city; by manufacturing brick and
in other ways. The case has been pend
ing in the courts ever since. 1t was
elabOrately argued some time ago, and
Judge Baker handed down his decision
to-day. The decision was favorable to
the company in all points but one, and
the court held that the company had
the right to own the Pullman building,
the brick yards land, and to sell liquor
in cars, but had no right to own Pull
man iron and steel stock. No Judgment
was entered against the company.
1t Is understood that the company will
accept the finding of the court in tho
matter of the stock in the iron and steel
company, and will at once dispose of 1t.

Belligerent Popular Feeling In Argentine

Washington, D. c., June 3.-Reports
from the Argentine republic show that
there is a very active war party which is
agitating the prospects of a war with
Chill. The Argentine boundary com
missioners have returned from Chill and
reported satisfactory progress, but the
Argentine press keeps up the talk of
war, and the report received here adds:

or of public men, are to be sincerely de-
plored. Some street row in a border
town. some petty insult to either of the
national flags and we would see the eN-
perience of a quarter of century ago

The Argentine government seems to
regard hostiltieS as possible, and is TAX
ing every step of precaution. The na-
tional guard is arming and drilling. and
officers have been dispatched to Europe
to purchase armament. \ loan of S3o.-
100000 is being considered to meet pos
sible war expenditures. A report from
Rosano states that a popular outbreak is
imminent, so much so that the govern
ment has stationed the Monitor Ell Plata
in the harbor ready for action, and the
strategic points of the town are nightly
occupied by the forces.

ANTIDOTE FOR ELECTRICITY.

Rochester, n. Y, June 1.-GeOrge D.
Burton, the Boston scientist, says: "As-
suming the press reports Of the execu-
ton of William Lake to be correct, l
make the positive assertion that the man
could have been resuscitated within
three hours after he was pronounced
dead. The surgeons knife, not the cleo
tric current, was, | believe, the cause
of his death. The electricians simply
filed him with electricity and turned
him over to the surgeons to cut up.
II have not the slightest doubt in my
mind" continued Mr.. Burton, that if
his body, after it came from the cleo
trical chair, had been placed on wet
earth and saturated with water, every
particle of the electric fluid would have
been gradually drawn off the body. and
the man would have recovered within n
