papers in Cowell's court Mrs. Delyska
said last night that she came from Og-
den one week ago, and had roomed at
the Centennial hotel at Eighteenth ana
Blake streets up to the time she was
engaged by the men regarding whose
conduct she now complains. Gardner,
hearing that she was out of employ
ment, called at the hotel and secured
her services as housekeeper. Friday af-
ternoon, alleges Mrs. Delyska, she was
compelled to remain in a room with
Davis, and Friday night, being unable
to escape in the meantime, was subject
ed to i'll treatment by Gardner.
Mrs. Delyska left the house yester-
day morning about o'clock. She
says that her husband. Anthony De-
lyska, a carpenter. died two years ago.
and that she has lived for Is years in
Ogden. At Ogden, she says, she was
employed at the Troy laundry. w. A.
Grandjean, Danish consul, called at
headquarters last evening and inter
viewed the witness. The case is set
for hearing Monday.
A News reporter found young Davis
at Mr.. Wilburham's residence. 1888
Stout street. last night. Gardner was
absent down town sending kilograms
EAST. Davis was reclining on a sofa.
He would be a superb specimen for
Max Nordau to dissect, mentally and
morally, as degenerate. His fore
head slopes backward far enough to
produce the facial style of a progna-
dhous individual. He has black hair,
large black eyes of an unnatural lus-
ter, a small black mustache, thick,
sensuous lips and pale cheeks. He Is
slender in build and under the medium
height. He was attired in a natty
business suit of brown material and
looked to be the son of a wealthy man.

rambling. However, without any
coaching, The fatty made damaging ad-
missions.
Mr. Gardner by this time returned.
and taking the reporter into a separate
room, he told his story, and it was a
disjointed and conflicting defense. He
wished instinctly to impress on the re-
porters mind that young Davis is al
most an idiot, and he will say any,
thing, and no reliance is to be put in
his worlds
Mr.. Gardner is a tall, slender bach
elor, of sandy hair and a sandy-colored
mustache, streaked with gray. His
voice is soft and his ways are femi-
nine.
Mr.. Whitman is an expressman,
whom L have known for years" said
Gardner, told me that Mrs. Delyska,
stopping at the Centennial hotel, could
be obtained for our housekeeper per-
haps. l went over to see her last
Thursday and made a bargain with
her. She came up to our house Friday
afternoon. The next morning the wo
man cooked breakfast and served it,
but while we were eating she left with
out our knowing it. Then we were sur
prised by being arrested. Her stony
that Davis assaulted her is a lie"
Gardner. in answer to questions. said
that they hired the woman as house
keeper without knowing anything
about her antecedents. He stated, at
first, that she did not know who Da-
Wis was. or whether his father was
wealthy or not.

HOW TO TREAT RURNs.
A berlin Physician Introduces New
Remrdy in the Appictt. of Thioi.

A Berlin Physician Introduces New
Remrdy In tine Application of Thiol.
From Current Literature.
According 10 a Berlin physician thiol
is highly approved as an APPLICATION in
the treatment of burns in all degrees.
The first step is to wash the surface
with a very weak solution Of corrosive
sublimate. then remove whatever Gu
ticle hangs loose, taking care not to
break any blisters that are whole. The
burn is busted with powdered boric
acid, then the entire burned surface
and a considerable portion OF the
healthy skin around it are painted
with a solution Of equal parts Of thiol
and water. then layer OF creased cot
ton is kept i'm place with bandage.
This is undoubtedly a very scientific
way TO handle a burn. but for the
masses of the people. many OF whom
live some distance from drug stores
and doctors. there Is nothing better
than the old-time application of pure
lard and -four IL is well worth while

may be applied to the burn without
loss OF time. The experience OF years
has demonstrated that II this applica-
ton is followed up there VIII be neither
scar not irritation following the heal
ing OF the injured part.

TERRIBLE HURRICANES.
The FIJI N and samoan Islands Laid in
Waste by Winds.

Victoria. b. C.. March 2S-The Cana
dian-Australian steamer Warrimoo, which
arrived late tonight reports encountering
a terrific hurricane on the 9Th inst, she
then being one day out of Suva. Fiji. So
fierce was the storm that the steamer was
forced to slow down for 40 consecutive
hours. and her officers assert that not
only Suva, but every settlement in the
Fijian group. must have been totally de-
vastated by the gale. which. for ferocity,
surpassed even the memorable hurricane
of three years ago which laid both the
Fijian and Samoan ISLANDS in ruins. Pur-
ser Humphreys has communicated with
the imperial authorities, so firmly con-
WINGED is he and the other officers that
Suva cannot have escaped desolation.
The Warrimoo brings word OF the loss
of the temporary ferry steamer Pearl I'm
the Brisbane river on Feb. Is, through
coming i'm collision with a strong current
with the anchored government steamer
Lucinda. the ferry being cut in two and
81 lives being lost.
