TRAGEDY IN COURT.
Shot at His Prosecutor and Killed the
Wrong Man.

WAUKEEGAN, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-
Daniel Core shot and killed John
Dillon in Justice Shatwelrs court.
Core had intended to kill his
enemy, Joseph Backer, but as he
fired the shot Dillon jumped in be-
tween them and received the fatal
bullet in his left breast. All three
men were farmers living near Half
Day. Core and Backer owned land
adjoining and had trouble about
the fence. Core had threatened to
shoot Backer. Sunday Core and
Dillon met Backer and had an
other quarrel and again Core threat
ened to shoot Backer. On Monday
Backer decided to have Core ar
rested for threatening to kill him
and was in Half Day. Core came
along with shotgun and revolver
and called for Backer to come out
of a store, where he was, but
Backer went out the rear way and
avoided the angry farmer. He
drove to Waukeegan and swore out
warrant for Cores arrest for
threatening to kill. Constable
Rice arrested Core ard brought
him to jail, but neglected to search
him. 1t seems that Core had "a
revolver in his pocket, and when
brought into court for a hearing he
pulled his revolver and fired at
Backer, killing Dillon instantly
Core was disarmed and taken to
jail, saying he regretted having
killed the wrong man. A coro'
ner's inquest was held at once and
Core was held to the grand jury,
which meets in March. Dillon
who was killed, was bachelor
aged 80. The occurrence was SO
unusual that it caused great. eX-
element here and at first there
was talk of lynching. The author
tiles are blamed for their careless
ness in allowing him to go I'M
searched.

Brazil Is Not Friendly.

legation has made public a dis
patch from the Brazilian govern
ment as follows:
"The Brazilian government de-
MES officially the reports spread in
Europe during the past few days,
by kilograms from Rio de Janeiro
and New York, that the relations
of the Brazilian government with
the minister of Great Britain are
of friendly character, and the
claims of Italy are in course Of
settlement. The cruise Of the Ben
jamin Constant has no connection

A SPANISH STORY.
THE WORK OF GENERAL GOMEZ.
Residents of Havana Beginning to Realize
the Power of the Insurgents.

HAVANA, Jan. 23.-As the news
of the ruin and devastation
brought by the rebels throughout
this and adjoining provinces slowly
reaches this city, in spite of the
omission Of the most of 1t from the
newspapers, the people are begin
ming to realize that Gomez and his
followers go where they wish,
destroy what they please and have
not once been rounded up and prop
erly classified by the vast army
which has been sent over from
Spain, and they have begun to
wonder where it will end. The
Spanish residents do not for a
moment believe that Gomez can
defeat the armies of Spain and win
the freedom of Cuba, but they now
realize that he can wreck her re-
sources.
They see that he has kept his
word and burned their sugar crop /;
that he has burned small hamlets,
then towns, and now event. cities
have been given over to the torch.
He has decided that railways car
rying troops be destroyed, and as
the companies had either to carry
the troops or forfeit their charters
they have fallen under the ban and
are now stopped after losing trains,
engines, bridges and stations
amounting to many hundred thous.
and dollars. Plantations which
have defied the rebels and have at
tempted to grind cane have had
their buildings burned and their
costly machinery destroyed. Towns
Of 5000 Inhabitants down to ham,
let's of a dozen huts which have re-
fused to surrender, have been
looted and then burned.
Bejucal, fifteen miles from here,
illustrates Gomez's method. He
sent word to the alcalde calling
upon him to surrender. There
was meeting Of citizens,and white
flags were hung over the houses
all over town. Spanish volunteers
numbering $50 turned over their
arms without firing a shot, but a
small detachment Of Spanish regu-
lars in a wooden fort refused to
surrender and held out. Gomez
entered the town and occupied all
of it except the plaza about the
fort. He was leaving town when
a shot was fred from house Kill
ling one of his men. He then
ordered all the houses in that part
of town burned, and thirty.six
were laid in ashes. He burned
the railway station and loaded
train Of freight cars.

A NEW ALLIANCE.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY BOUND BY
TREATY TIES.
Turkey Entirely at the Disposal of Russia
in Return for Protection Against the
Other Great Powers-France May
Also Enter the Alliance.

LONDON, Jan. PA dispatch to
the Pail Mall Gazette from Con-
stantinople, dated yesterday, says
an offensive and defensive alliance
has been concluded between Rus
STA and Turkey. The dispatch adds
that the treaty was signed at Con-
stantinople and Publications ex-
changed at st. Petersburg between
Aarej Pasha and the car. The
basis of the treaty is declared to
be on the same lines as the treaty
Of 1888, by which Turkey agreed,
in the event of Russia going to
war, to close the Dardanelles to
the warships of all nations. The
Gazette's correspondent says the
treaty must soon be abandoned,
owing to the refusal of the powers
to recognize it. He also says the
French ambassador had a private
audience with the sultan yester-
day and there is a possibility that
France will be included in the new
alliance.
Commenting on this dispatch,
the Pail Mall Gazette says: "We
regard the news as true, and the
result of the treaty is that the OAR
danelles become the southern out
post of Russia and Turkey is Rus
sia's vassal. We presume the Brit
ish government will protest
against the treaty for all it is
worth. The information is plainly
of the very gravest Importance.
The first intimation reached us
four days ago, but we withheld ii
till the arrival of the strong con-
firmation which we received this
morning. This brings Russia in
to the Mediterranean with ven-
geance, and may necessitate the
strengthening of the British fleet
in those waters. Politically, the
effect will be far greater. The
treaty means that Turkey has re-
allied her own impotence against
disorders, both from within and
without, and has decided to seek
safety in the arms Of Russia, She
is now Russia's vassal, and Russia
is entitled to dispatch troops to
any part of the sultan's domin-

A MIGHTY CLOSE SHAVE.
Express Has Close Call for Terrible
Accident,

New YORK, Jan. 23.-The pas
sengers on the express train from
New York to Elizabeth, on the
Jersey Central road, had narrow
escape from being the victims Of a
terrible accident last night. AS
the train started out of the Eliza
beth station, the axle connecting
the driving wheels of the engine
snapped and the heavy engine
was wrecked. When an investiga-
ton was made it was discovered
that the steel axle, which was
about eight inches in diameter,
had snapped off close to the right
hand driver, and that an old flaw
was in the steel, so that the heavy
engine had run, no one knows how
long, depending upon one piece of
axle, piece about two inches
thick. The train consisted of ten
heavy cars, and is run at express
speed, without stops. Railroad
men, upon viewing the wrecked
engine, were astounded at the
miraculous escape the train had
had from a terrible catastrophe,
for, as an old engineer said: "Had
that small piece of axle given away
while the train was making its run
from Jersey City to the Elizabeth
draw-bridge, during which it runs
nearly a mile a minute, there
would have occurred one of the
most terrible railway accidents
that has ever occurred in this sec
ton of the country. AS you can
see from the condition of the en-
| CINE as she lies, the sudden col
lapse Of that axle and the spread
of the drivers would have piled the
engine and her long train in a heap
before you could say Jack Robin
son. / tell you what, boys, that is
one of the closest shaves l ever
saw in my railroad experience"
The train had stopped at the
Elizabeth station, unloaded the
Elizabeth passengers, and had
just started for Dunellen, the en-
CINE having passed over the Union
street bridge, when the break oc-
Cured. The wheels had just be-
fore struck the point of a switch,
and the sudden jolt thus oc-
casioned is supposed to have
caused the weak axle to give away.
The passengers bound for points
west of Elizabeth were transferred
to another train, and after hours
of labor, the wrecked engine was
removed to the company's shop,
after blocking the main track four
hours,
