Gon's name placed on the Republican
ticket next year. there viii once more

On account of his recent decision en-
Joining the proposed South Carolina

Republican managers could not put up
q man more thoroughly obnoxious 10

If they want ga Southern man on

putting one there they can break into
the Democratic South, they viii make

A sepoy soldier Runs Amuck.

The military station at POOna has been
thrown into deep sorrow by TRACED Y which
Involved the death of an English and two
native officers. This was brought about
by a sepuy, in a wild burst of Eastern
age, running amuck. He had, it seems,
been reduced to the ranks, and as his regi-
mental team was firing at the rifle range
the scpoy, Sengat Singh, saw the subadar
ma joT, to whom he believed he owed his
punishment. He became greatly excited.
and though his comrades tried to calm
him, he eventually raised his rifle. shot
the suiJadar in the neck, killing him in
stantly.
Pay Orderly Havlldar Yasin Khan ran
forward shouting, when the sepot fired at
him, the bullet passing through and killing
him. The culprit next attempted TO shoot
Drill Havildar Sheik Kassm of his own
regiment, bat missed him. Lieut.. Henry V.
Eiddeg of the Fourth Bombay Rifles. who
was range officer for the time went toward
the mau with a view to getting him TO put
down his arms. The man shouted to the
lieutenant not to approach, as he did not
want to shoot him. Mr.. Riddell was not
deferred, however, by the mans threats,
but went toward him. The man fired, hut
only struck the officers wrist The sepoy
fired again as the officer advanced. aud
Sengat Singh then ran some considerable
distance, knocked off his boot, and, placing
the rifle against himself, pulled the trigger
with his toe and put an end to his exist

In CHRISTMAS SESSION
1conoclasts' Assembly Talked Over
the Philadelphia Strike.
Visitors From Other Orga nizations
Made Speeches and an Enjoyable
Evening Was Spent.

The Iconoclasts Assembly held rousing
Christmas meeting last evening at Cos
tello's Hall, corner OF Sixth and G streets
northwest. 1t was an open session and
there were present visitors from several
of the other local labor orga nizations-
The meeting was presided over by Master
Workman Cuff OF the Laundry Workers
and on motion of Mr.. sam De Nedrey
routine business was postponed until the
next regular meeting, aud the evening was
spent in listening to short addresses by
some of the visitors.
The tirst speaker was Mr.. De Nedrey,
who spoke or the strike OF the street car
men in Philadelphia and its effect on or
ganized labor. While the necessity Tor
strikes at any and all times was very
much to be regretted, stin there were
times, he said, when they We're unavo d.
able. The Union Traction Company was a
soulless corporation and was trying TO
force the men to submission whether right
or wrong, and with them 1t was a choice
between strike and starvation.
Mrs. W II. Wider, OF the Laundry Work
ers' Assembly, spoke on the good OF the
order. The knights OF Labor, She said,
was refuge of safety for the working
men and women OF the country, and that
without 1t and the other bodies OF organ
lied labor the laboriDg class OF the country
would necessarily be plant tools in the
hands of capital.
Master Workman Cuff also spoke of the
good results OF organized labor. There
were very few large cities in the country
where organized labor did not exert a
powerful influence, and the time would
come when, through its influence, the
workiDginen would get their Just dues.

DECLARES HE WAS rHUGGED.
Strange Young Man Tells the Police
Il Very Fishy Story.

AT l O'Clock this morning a young man
broke breathiessly into police station No.
/, and between gasps shouted that he had
been knocked down with a black lack
and touched for his watch and chain, which
he valued at $50.
He gave his name as William Keamey,
and he also gave an address, but d $50 gave
the additional Information that the name
and address were fictitious, and he a bso-
lutely refused to give his real name or
address,
Policeman Williams. who had the case
i'll hand, tried to persuade him to diyulge
his identity, but the persuasion was of no
avail He said that he had passed cut
of one of the houses down in that quarter
of the city, and was moving along u street,
on the north side, toward Penns ylvania
avenue, and when in 4 particularly dark
spot man stole up behind him and struck
him blow on the head, presumably with
black jack, which rendered him uncon-
scious.
When he regained his feet there was
nobody near him and his watch and chain
were missing. His pockets had been turned
inside out and rifled of one dollar, Ill the
money he had.
There is suspicion on the part of the
police that the man was robbed in a dis
reputable house, and that he cannot afford
to make complaint on this ground.

STABBED BY A COMPANION
Assailant of Young Frederick Gis-
ser Has Been Arrested.
Lieut.. Amiss Has To Reprlnrnd IL
Special Officer lar the Part
He Took

Frederick Gisscr, the sixteen year-1id boy
who was mys,cTicusly stabbed III the left
side at the corner OF Pennsylvania avenue
and Eleventh street on Christmas eve as
stated in The Times Of yesterday, is i'm
proving slowly and the physicians at Emer-
gency Hospital, where the lad is lying, do
not fear that he will die. This Stahting
case has developed two fresh points of
interest within the last few hours. namely,
the arrest of Gus W. Ste wart, on the Charge
of having committed the crime, and the
reprimanding of Special Policeman Wan
nell, by Lieutenant AmisS Of tiIe First pre-
Cinct.
Stewart was at Kernan's thcater with
Gisser, and was the central figure Of the
excited throng OF people ON The corner in
diCated. at the time the cutting took place.
Gisser did not know that hc mad been hurt
till few minutes later nc sauntered into
cigar store to light a cigar. which he was
carr ying In his left vest pocket. As he
reached in and withdrew the roll of tobacco
he felt that his clothes Were wet, and in
speeding his fingers, saw that they were
crimsoned with blood. The cigar man
escorted Gisser to police station No. / and
the ambulance conveyed him to Emergency
Hospital, where the wound was pronounced
of serious nature.
Directly after the excitement on the corner
udu suDSlutt, Ste"dtO I'-tiiitEfu lltt tilth-
ter, from which he had been elected and
was arrested Ill the gallery By Special PO-
hceinan Wanneil. Wanneii took from the
young man large. sharp knife, the blade Of
which was red with blood. He carried the
knife in one hand and with the other led
Stewart to police station No. 1, whence
GissCr had but a few minutes before been
removed to the hospital. Standing before
Desk Sergeant Ebcrly, Wannell stated that
Stewart had nothing to do with the cutting,
and that he just wanted hun locked uponthe
charge of being drunk.
The desk sergeant asked Wannell where
he got that knife, pointing to the bloody
wea pom, from the blade of which WanneIl
was wiping the gore. Ebcrly shouted at
the special not to wipe that blood away and
again asked where the knife came from,
whose it was, etc. Wanncll refused to
answer these questions and said only that
Stewart was drunk and knew nothing about
the cutting.
When these facts were brought to the at
tention of Lieutenant Amiss, he waAed
wroth and gave the matter careful investi-
CATION. He held Stewart at the station on
the charge of cutting Gisser and hunted up
Wannell to whom he gave electure, telling
that special that IL he expected to retain
his commission In the First precinct he
must cooperate with the policemen of that
precinct. He intimated strongly that Wan
nell had shown a desire to shield Stewart
from the law, and raised fog with the
special.

MURDER MYSTERY LONGER.
The Police Have Learned the History
of Mrs. Maria Horan,

lie fOHce HhNe Leerneu the History
of Mrs. Maria Horan.
New York, Dec. 25.-The police have
nearly cleared up the Horan supposed muir
der mystery. The woman's body was
found in a yard in the rear of No. 432 East
Fourteenth street last Saturday. Patrick
Horan went to the coroner's office yester-
day and then to the morgue.
He identified the body as that of his wife
Maria. Koran is a veteran of the Sixty
ninth Regiment, and a nephew of former
Excise Inspector Martin Horan. He is
glider, and has been employed by some of
the largest firms in this city and in Bos-
ton. The police know enough to be sure
he had nothing to do with his wife's DEATH
and he will be discharged from custody.
They came here from Boston two weeks
ago, and, according to the husband, had
been on a spree ever since. Acting Captain
O'Brien has no doubt the woman came TO
her death by a fall. From Boston the
police have learned that the Horans had a
room at No. 1874 Pleasant street, that city,
prior to March, 1894, and that from there
Mrs. Horan was sent to an inebriate asy-
lum.
Horap at the same time fell through a
window and cut his arm so that he was sent
to a hospital. He had just got pension,
and had spent most of the money in drink
lfor himself and wife. Two months ago
the Boston police found the woman begging
in the streets, representing that she had
four or five starving children.
