CONSUL'S LIFE ASsAILED-
Startling Episode at st. Johns
Ss,amisla soldiers Act.

QUARANTINE, March 10, 1S96.-The
steamer South Cambria of the New York
and Porto Rico Steamship Company,
which arrived this morning from St.
Johns, P. r., brought news that an at
tempt was made on the life of u. S.
Consul ]. D. Hall by Spanish soldier
at st. John on March 4. From what
could be learned from Felix Taussig, one
of the South Cambrias passengers, it
seems that Consul Halls residence ad-
joins the Spanish prison in that city.
On March the Consul was fired on by
Spanish soldier from the prison wall.
but fortunately was not struck by the
bullet which whlzzed by close to the
Consul's head. The shooting created
quite an excitement. Consul Hall has
written home by the South Cambria to
the State Department at Washington,
giving a full report of the attempt on his
life.
1t was reported that the shooting was
accidental, and that the soldier was firing
on an escaping woman prisoner. Passen-
ger 1Taussig says it was a deliberate at
tempt on the life of Consul Hall. The
news that Congress was about TO recog-
nize the Cubans had just reached st.
John on March 3 and caused considerable
comment.
Mr. Taussg represents the large inn
porting house of N. w. Taussig & Co.,
No. III Wall street, New York, and Is
ready TO give full particulars.

TOLD THE TRUTH THIS TIME.
Police Don't Think Scott is TIL.
Paterson NInrderef

Paterson Murderer.
Richard Scott, the negro who was ar
rested on Tuesday night on Summit
avenue for insulting women, and whom
the police thought might be the MUIR
derer of Miss Sullivan of Paterson. was
arraigned before Justice Douglass this
morning, but the case was laid over
until tomorrow morning.
The prisoner admitted that he had told
a Lie when he said he lived in Richmond,
Va, and that he had not been there for
fourteen years. 1t will be remembered
that the police yesterday telephoned to
the police authorities in Richmond ask
ing if Scott lived there Word came back
that he had lived there fourteen years
ago, but did not live there now This
caused Scott to make the above state
ment this morning. He said he had
been wandering around a great DEAL but
never meant to harm anybody. He had
served a three months sentence in a
Philadelphia prison for being sus-
picious' character, ana was discharged on
January 20, last. He had been in Cam
den. Trenton. New Brunswick, Newark,
tractor in New York. He did not know
why he came over here except that he
was drunk and did not know what he
was doing.
The theory about his being the mur-
derer wanted in Paterson has been all
but knocked out. The police say he will
probably get thirty days in Snake HILL
The case will be heard tomorrow morn
ing before Justice Douglass.

Ninth ward, on West Side avenue, was
for short while the scene of lively
fight. The registry lists showed ninety
five registered and the number of votes
polled was 100. The registry officers say
that the only way they can account for
this is that the registry was SO rapid
they missed five names When the result
was known Health Inspector D. Benjamin
remarked, We'll. boys were beaten,

Just as he said this Jack Graham

Graham then inquired what the vote
was and was told about the five votes

retired to the rear roorns where a con-

y WASHINGTON, March 49, 1S96-The
Democratic members of the Senate will
hold caucus this afternoon upon the
adjournment of the Senate. The meet
ing has been called for the. purpose of
considering, among other. things. the
question of the patronage of the Senate.
For several weeks Senator Elkins, rep-
resenting the Republicans, and German
for the Democrats, have been devising q
scheme that will adjust the patronage of
the Senate SO as to give the new 'Sena-
tors an equal standing with the old men
on this matter Under existing conditions
the old Senators have much patronage
and the new ones little Or none. The
scheme that has been devised adjusts
these inequalities and does it, it is claimed
without making wholesale removal Of
employees.
Susf how this can be accomplished
does not seem to be clear but the Sena-
tors who have perfected the arrangement
insist that such is the case. Mr.. Cor
man Will submit the matter to his coll
leagues. and within few days the scheme
will likewise be submitted TO the Republf-
cans Proposed legislation may also be
considered and an agreement sougftSto be
reached on the policy Of taking any action

In the House of Commons today Mr.

ment if any alliance existed between
Great Britain and Italy
Mr.. Curzon, Under Foreign Secretary,

ment of any kind between the two coun-
tries, but the circumstances in which
they were placed pointed to the ex-
pediency of a friendly cooperation be-
tween the two governments in defence
of their common interests.
Mr.. Curzon also announced that NJ.
Berthelot, French Minister of Foreign
Affairs, had informed Lord Dufferin, the
BrtlSh Ambassador to France, that he
repudiated all responsibility for the state
ments made in reporting the purport of
the interview between the Minister
ana the Ambassador on Tuesday, in which
the former is represented as having de-
manded to know the reasons for the
British expedition up the Nile and as
having pointed out the gravity of the
statements, NJ. Berthelot had said, must

been informed of the intended plans of
Great Britain in the Nile valley, but the
French government had not as yet made

The star. (Reynoldsville, Pa.) 1892-1946, 1896-11-25

1t is well known fact, even among
those who make no pretense of having
their heads stored with geological and
archaeological lore, that the beasts and
reptiles which existed in the early ages
of the world were giants when COM
pared with the very largest representa-
tives of the same types which still sur
vive. This fact has recently been strik-
ingly illustrated by a find made at
Poitiers, where excavations are being
made under the auspices of the Oriental
Academy Of Science. At that place q
crocodile tooth was found which weighs
almost seven pounds. M. Gerard, the
professor in charge of the working
corps, says that there is no doubt that
the tooth formerly belonged to a gigan-
tic crocodile. and that there is no possi-
bility whatever that he has COMPOUNDED
the tooth with that of the megalvasau-
rus, as some scientists have limited.
M. Gerard says: "It is typical croc-
odile tooth and is probably the largest
specimen of the kind ever seen by man.
In my estimation 1t is from the head OF
q reptile not less than 100 feet in
length. ST. Louis Republic.
