Is HE INSANE?

BY Special Wire to Sunday Light.
Ava, Mo-, Aug. 15.-Mrs. Mahala
Harris was shot here by Annanias
Harris, her divorced husband. Har-
ris went to the home of Elder Dur
ham, father of the woman, and, after
she refused to again live with him,
pulled revolver from his pocket and
shot her in the breast, producing what
is believed to be fatal wound.
Crowds of men, assisting the sheriff,
are out hunting for the murderer, and
as excitement is high a lynching bee
may be expected. Harris has had two
barns burned recently, and his dwell
ling house has been set on fire, but
the people now believe ne Is tempo
rarily insane and the fires are the re-
suit of his own acts.

KILLED BY A SPIDER.

by SpeCldl w lie W ouuudy LiSul.
New York, Aug. 15.-After a week
of the most intense suffering Miss
Cora Sanfelise, % years old, of No.
562 Lexington avenue, Brooklyn, died
On Friday morning from blood pois-
oning, which-is believed to have been
caused by the bite of an ordinary
spider.
Miss Sanfelise was bitten on July
80, just below the knee of her right
leg. She paid no special attention to
it at the time, but whenthe pain in
creased the next day DE- William e.
Wamsley, of No. 797 Putnam avenue,
was summoned.
The fever subsidized after three days
and she appeared to be getting bet
ter. The swelling continued. how
ever, until the limb reached an enor-
nous size. DIR. Wamsley called in a
surgeon to see if amputation could be
safely tried, but it was decided that
nothing in that line could be done.
The girl during this time had been
gradually growing weaker, and the
hot weather of the past week taxed
her strength heavily. On Thursday
evening she felt well enough to sit up
for a short time in steamer chair,
which her brother had procured for
her use. The heat and humidity Of
the afternoon and night induced ex-
treme exhaustion, however, and dur
ing the afternoon and night she sank
rapidly and died at 4:30 o'clock Friday
morning.

Moberly, Mo-, Aug. 15.-At 1870
o'clock persons who were walking in
front of the Arlington hotel heard a
shrek, and glancing up saw a body
falling from a window, and a second
later the crowd that rushed to the
spot found a woman, entirely nude,
lying on the pavement and blood
gushing from a wound in her thigh.
She was at once given medical atten-
ton, and before becoming unconscious
stated that the man who was with her
had lifted her from the bed and
thrown her out Of the window. An
examination showed that her thigh
and arm were broken, and that she
had received internal injuries, which,
the physicians say, will prove fatal.
During the excitement the man who
had registered as Milton Morris made
his escape and has not been appre-
hended.

7 CAUSES GOSSIP.
Some Attribute the Cause of His Return

Others to Politics Which

By Special Wire to Sunday Light.

By Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New York, Aug. 15.-The decision Of
Richard Croker to return to
New York within a few weeks has
been the cause of great deal of gos-
sip among those who know something
of his private affairs. Mr.. Croker
has notified his friends here that he
is coming home. In the early part Of
the racing season he said that he
would remain in England indefinitely
so that his determination to return to
this country has been reached within
a comparatively recent period.
1t is said that Mr.. Croker has lost
heavily on the English turf. His
horses have won but two or three
races during the season, while on the
other hand, in addition to his expen-
sive racing stable and the cost of
maintaining a fine country home in
England, he is known to have lost
large amount of money in turf spec
ulation.
Recently Mr.. Croker disposed Of
$4,000 worth of real estate in this
city, the proceeds of which We're
placed to his credit in London. He
still owns property in this city valued
at 100000, and has, besides, an inter-
est in stock farm in Tennessee, for
which he paid small fortune so
that, Notwithstanding. his ill-luck,
there still remains a good round sum
to his credit at home.
The belief prevails here that Mr..
Croker is out of active politics r.,
good, but that he will advise witt
Tammany leaders upon hiS retv
interest himself Indirectly the ~,
paign. On the other hand some o.,
district leaders say that IL the ~
chief comes home he will be reins als
ed as the leader of the Wigwk
forces, regardless of his own wishes
in the matter.

New Orleans Rescued From Fanatic
al Oppression by Picnic Party.
BY Special Wire to Sunday Light.
New Orleans, Aug. 15.-The Sunday
law, which has been systematically
observed for two Sundays, will be
practically ignored tomorrow. The
Traction companys employees, giving
a picnic at the Fair grounds, obtained
an injunction against the city re-
straining it from interfering in the
sale of liquor out there.
The recorders have promised to pa
role all offenders in the city who vic.
late the law, so the prospects are good
for every thing being wide open.
A sensation was sprung when it
was announced this afternoon that, a
majority of the council intended to
resign because of the press censure of
their action in refusing to adopt the
new city charter.
The main objections are the civE
service features and these were in
serted to crush boodleismf and ring,

recalcitrant solons to reconsider .neir

The work is progressing nicely and
we have hopes of good flow soon. 1t

our present system of water works is

The Populists of this county held
their primary election last Saturday.
Notwithstanding the fact that they
claim to be reformers and seek an
honest, intelligent and pure ballot, it
was one of the filthiest elections that

seems that drinking was the order of
the day. AS many as three of fam
lily went to the lookup.
1t has been but few weeks since
the Populists resolved and where
ased and asked the members of other
parties to join them in purifying the
ballot. Many Of their own members
are thoroughly disguised and will
vote with other parties hereafter.
The three gins of this place are run

BY Special Wire to Sunday Light
Savannah, Ga, Aug. ia special
from Jacksonville, Fla, says;
Beyond reasonable doubt, Bruins
wigs tug Dauntless is en- route to Gu
ban waters with a filibustering ex-
petition, and several hundred cases
of small arms. The Spanish and the
United States government officers
have been greatly excited and are try
ing to intercept it, but have not sue
ceeded.
The Dauntless is reported by Cap
tain White, of the steamer Passport,
to have steamed away from the Sa-
tilla river bridge ON the Florida Cen
trail and Peninsula railway with a
cargo of Cubans, who left the late
train from Jacksonville at that point
to board her. The name and home
port painted on the Dauntless were
covered with canvas, but she was
recognized by many.
John E. Dubignen, managing own
er of the Dauntless has returned to
Brunswick from Jacksonville. He de-
MES the truth of the intimation con-
tanned in these dispatches that he
was hidden out and says his address
was known here, that his business
was in no way connected with filibus-
tering, that he is not in that business,
and as far as he is personally con-
cerned the public will be made aware
of that fact at the proper time. Co
ney and Parker state that the Daunt-
less has gone to Florida waters to
tow a barge.
The facts and circumstances Of the
Dauntless, as far as known here, are
as follows:
For several days she has been pre-
pairing for the expedition; all her bal.
last was unloaded and sacks of coal,
together with boxes of munitions of
war, were placed on her With a pick
ed crew of men under Captain Lomm,
and Engineer Demeraux, she steamed
up the river and there awaited the
Cubans' arrival from Jacksonville.
All her lights were out and the trip
was made under darkness. An indem-
nifty fund of $35, 900 was put up to Sc
cure her owners, which will go to her
whether she lands the cargo or is
sunk or captured.
When the men were placed on board
the Dauntless steamed away and will
either transfer her cargo to another
vessel, land them on Cuban soil, be
sunk or captured. Such information
in substance was wired by United
States Marshal Harrell to the attor-
ney general last night. Spanish Vice
Consul Torras has done his utmost
to prevent the expedition, as have the
customs officials, but so quietly was
the work done that nothing could be
prevented.
