Foretold in q Dream.

LAUREL, Del, April 23.-Charles
Fooks, son of Daniel Fooks. .Laureps
wealthiest citizen, died yesterday.
Three months ago Edward Taylor, an
aged citizen, was laughed at for telling
the story of a strange dream he had had,
foretelling the death os eight prominent
citizens.
A few days later he seriously said that
he was worried by the return of the
dream, and that the four persons first
named to die would be the most prom
inent and wealthy citizens of the county.
They were Benjamin Fooks, Governor
Marvel, William Daniels and Daniel
Fooks. The first three are dead and Sc
is the eldest son of the Iast-named. Two
other seen in Taylor's vision are i'll.

A Ra Iroad Rumor.

TACOMA, Wash. April 2S.-Report here
has it that president Jim Hill, of the
Great Northern, has secured control Of
Northern Pacific railroad. This report
is given as the cause of the recent shak-
ing up among the officials of the latter
road.
None of the officials here can confirm
the rumor, and do not take much stock
in it, although it is generally believed
by the people.
A general feeling of uneasiness still
prevails among Northern Pacific officials,
as it is expected several more of them
will be asked for their designations.

Second Day of Durrant's
Examination.
BUT FEW WITNESSES TESTIFIED
His Imprisonment Is Beginning to Tell
ON Him--Rscess Was Taken Until
= O'Clock This Afternoon.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 23.- Another
large crowd assembled in Judge Conlon's
court room this morning to hear the ex-
animation of Theodore Durrant, which
commenced about 10 80. When Dur
rant entered the court room in charge OF
the officers, he appeared pale and
slightly nervous, his muscles twitched,
his lip worked slightly, but otherwise
he appeared cool and possessed. The
court room was packed by the same
crowd that attended yesterdays pro-
eeeding, with a number of new faces
added.
Miss Williams, who created the scene
at yesterdays session, applied for ad-
mission this morning, but her request
was refused.
The first witness was Harry Part
ridge, a clasemate of Durrant's, at the
Cooper medical college. Partridge tes-
titled that he answered to Durrant's
name at roll-call at one of the clinics on
April 9th, Durrant not being present
to answer for himself. April 9Th is the
same day that Miss Willis, who testified
yesterday, said that she rode on the
same train with Durrant in Alameda,
the day he is supposed to have called on
Miss Williams, the murdered girl.
Charles A. Dukes, another student,
testified that he saw Durrant at the
| ferry on the afternoon of the 18th inst,
and in conversation with the prisoner,
Durrant asked him to answer to roll
call at the clinic next day, as Durrant
would be absent on trip to Mount
Diablo with the signal corps. Durrant
said that he was at the ferry to see some
comrades of the signal corps. Clarence
Dodges, also student, who accompa-
MED Dukes, gave corroborative evidence
of meeting with Durrant at the ferry.
Emma Struven, young girl, was
next introduced to prove that on the
Friday on which Miss Williams was
murdered Durrant accosted the witness
and two girl companions near the
church, between 9 and 9:45 o'clock.
The witness said she did not get good
view of the mans face, but he looked
like Durrant from the back. Cross-ex-
animation failed to shake her testimony.
Miss Lucille Turner was the next wit.
ness. She said she had known Durrant
about year. Durrant had spoken to
her in words not those of gentleman
and had asked her to undergo an exam
ination, and had suggested quiet place
in the church to conduct the same.
She told him her folks could attend to
such matters. He spoke to herof an
examination some time during the first
of this year. The witness said she
treated Durrant as If nothing of the
kind had ever taken place, because she
didn't want a GOODNESS to attract atten-
ton. She said Durrant had given her
several questions to answer on the cub
ject. A paper was introduced which
she said contained her handwriting.
The paper is said to contain the answers.
A recess was then taken until 2
O'Clock.

1t Is curious now to remember the

Russian Traits.

The Russians are zyand effeminate;
n the winter they seldom walk, and
when they do SO they crawl along, muf-
ied up In furs. One sees a great many
military officers in Moscow, and their
want of smartness is noticeable. They
are always to be seen lounging about
the boulevards with their hands in the
pockets Of their gray ~overcoats- These
boulevard warriors do not appear very
formidable. The Cossacks are dirty
looking rufians, badly dressed, and
mounted on small horses, which are
said to be excellent animals, gifted
with wonderful staying power. I was
told by an officer that the Cossacks
have degenerated very much, and have
been spoiled by being turned into regu-
lars. The Cossacks of the Don, especial
", have deteriorated, but those Of the
Caucasian regions are fine soldiers.
One Of the worst characteristics Oh
the Russians is their dishonesty In
trade. In Moscow, even In many Of the
best shops, one has to bargain for pur-
| chases, as a much higher price than Is
expected is always asked. In this way
| foreigners In Moscow no doubt fire.
quently pay three or four times the
proper price for articles. In the same
way one has to bargain for everything.
and this constitutes n OF the most
disagreeable things connected with life
In Russia.
That the Russians are q dirty people,

even a footbath in them. and though
there are fine public baths the Rus
slams, even of the upper circles, seldom
make use Of them. Indeed, the lower or
