EXPELLED F0R FRAUD.
A Bucket Shop Broker Thrown Out of
the New York Stock Ex-
cbnnno

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 30.-William
Euclid Young was expelled from the New
York Stock Exchange by formal vote of
the governing committee at the conclu-
sion of session which lasted from $50
until 7:30 O'CLOCK tonight. Forty out of
forty-two of the members of the commit
tee were present and the vote was said to
have been unanimous. The charge was
fraud.
The charge was in reality against the
firm of E. B. Cuthbert & Co., stockholders
at 80 Broad street. The Stock Exchange
authorities dealt with the member of the
firm who was member of the exchange.
Mr.. Young was the partner in the firm
who belonged to the exchange. He with
drew from the firm on December %, but
that did not relieve him from the charge.
The original complaint against Cuth-
bert & Co. was three months ago. A spe-
cial com mittee from the governing COM
mittee was appointed to Investigate the
business methods of the firm. The COM
mittee suspected Cuthbert g. Co. of en-
ploying buckeI-shop methods. or, in other
words, OF reporting to customers that
they had purchased and sold stocks ac-
cording to ORDERS when in fact they had
made no transactions whatever. The
committee discovered evidence that an ar
rangement had been made with Jacob
Kirkner, broker Of "a New street.

SAN DIEGO FAILs TO SCORE.

BerkeEey's Football Team Easily De
feafs the SoMtherners.
SAN DIEGO, CAL, Dec. 30-Berkeley
defeated San Diego at football this after
noon by score of 4S to 0. The university
boys were in fine condition and handled
the San Diegos with ease, preventing
them from approaching the goal or even
securing a temporary advantage. Ran
some. (fullback) and Hall (quarter) did
brilliant work for the visitors running
around ends.
Ransome did not equal Scnulenburg OF
San Diego in his goal-kicking. Schulen-
burg rather excelled Ransome in putting
also.
The catching by the university boys was
very good, but their best work was In IN
reference. This they had down to such
fine point that they carried the pigskin
into the enemy's ground almost as they
liked, though occasionally meeting strong
opposition. The Berkeleys formed line,
composed of their best men, and this line
marched straight through the enemy's
line, guarding the man with the ball.
San Diego did several clever plays tn at
won approbatio from the talented young
men of the university. Both sides played
clean football and the big crowd was well
satisfied with the outcome, believing that
San Diego did we'll to keep within gun
shot of the giants who confronted them.
Berkeley averaged 165 in weight and San
Diego 152,

CONTRARY TO THE STATUTE.
Peculiar Case From Montana Promptly
Dismissed BY the United States
Supreme Court

WASHINGTON. D. c., Dec. 30.-A case
was docketed in the Supreme Court OF the
United States yesterday the record of
which disclosed an entirely new ground of
offense in the State of Montana, and
which, if it had been held to be crime,
would have resulted in the speedy de-
population of that hourishing common
wealth.
On the 9th of April last T. A. Steele, q
peace officer in Lewis and Clark County,
appeared before G. F. Gage, a Justice of
the Peace in Helena Township, and made
complaint against one Yot Sang that s'on
or about the oath OF April, 1896, he did
with force and arms, carry on business,
tor the carrying on of which license is
required by law of this State, to wit: the
laundry business, other than a steam
laundry, said Yet Sang being a male per-
son, all of which is contrary to the form OF
the statute in such cases made and pro-
vlded, and against the peace and dignity
of the State of Montana"
When the Judges realized the possibill-
ties of the situation as defined in that
complaint, that 'sbeing a male person"
was contrary to the statute in such case
made and provided, and against the peace
and dignity of the State of Montana, !"
they promptly dismissed Yot Sang, and
now ]. II. Jurgens, Sheriff of the county,
from whose custody he was released on q
writ of habeas corpus, wants the Superior
Court of the United States to review the
Judgment of the District Court for that
State and to pass upon the con stitution-
ality and validity of the statute pleaded,
which requires license for operating q
hanQ laundry, but does not require one for
a steam laundry.

NEW TO-DAY.
THE SICK ARE CURED
The Depression Caused by
Disease Is Dispelled.

DISEA SES, ESPECIALLY THOSE OF
~ chronic nature, cannot be cured ex.
cent by treatment that strikes directly
of the root of the trouble. The new, origi.
nal and marvellous method of treating dis.
eases that is pursued at the State Electro
Medical Institute is one that never fails
The salutary effects OF the treatment on
any disease are at once perceived and
speedy and permanent cure IS invariably
made in every case.
The treatment is medical and electrical
combined. The peculiar method Of ad-
ministering these two great curative RENE
dies is a new, original, scientific discovery
of the Institute. 1t is used exclusively by
them and the most amazing results are
accom- plished in the treatment and cure OF
all diseases.
The Institute is splendidly equipped
with every device known to the scientific
world for administering medical electric
ity, including large Static, Faradic and
Galvanic batteries, Electric Belts, Body
Batteries and a great variety OF other
electric appliances that are manufactured
and used exclusively by the Institute IN
their Electro-Medical treatment. By
means of these electric batteries and ap-
pliances, vitalizing, life-giving electric
currents are used to aid in sending the
Institute medicines directly to the dis
eased organs and diseased parts of the
body.
The medicines prescribed at the Inslk
tute are perfect laboratory triumphs. fer-'
mulated from true appreciation of the
medicinal wants of the body; and when
these medicines are aided in their recu-
perating and healing work by electricity
scientifically applied, every symptom of
disease is rapidly dispelled, the patient
soon regains perfect health and strength,
while the depression caused by disease is
displaced by the happiness and pleasure
that is the natural heritage of those twin
blessings, ''a sound mind in a sound
body"
If you are sick or ailing, if you want to
know what is the matter with you, and if
you want to be cured, you should resort
without delay to the State Electro Medical
Institute. The Institute TREATS AND

DES MONIES. Iowa. Dec. 30.-Repre-
sentatives of the Democratic free-silver
forces of all the counties in the State
rounded up at the Hotel Savoy yesterday
morning for general conference concern
ing the condition of the party and to dis
cuss plans for maintaining and solidify-
ing it during the next four years. Talks
with the delegates indicate that so far
from the result of the election having
thrown wet blanket on the free-silver
movement in Iowa, they are determined
to maintain the organization and to force
the issue in every Congressional and other
election to take place during the ensuing
three years. Plans will also be discussed
for reconciling the two factions OF the
Democrats and for fusion between the
Populists and the Silver Democrats. The
PopuIists. however. have given it out fat
footed that they are not prepared to give
up their distinct organization.

GOVERNOR-ELECT
Miss Cora English Becomes
the Wife Of John R.
Tanner.
Every County in the State Has
a Representative at the
Ceremony.
She It Was Who Prompted Him 10
Make the Race for the Ex.
ecutive Chair.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec. o0.-St.
Paul's Episcopal Cathedral was crowded
with society and political folk at high
noon to-day, when Governor-elect John r.
Tam er and Miss Cora English stood be-
fore the altar and pIighted their troth.
The marriage took place after the ritual
of the Episcopal church, Rev. DR.. Freder-
ick w. Taylor officiating aud Bishop
George F. Seymour pronouncing the bless
ing and benediction.
Twelve hundred invitations had been is
sued and the congregation or audience
represented every county in the State and
many outside commonwealths. TIE
brides toilet was of pure white mir
rored velour, with short pointed bodice
edged with embroidered null, frills OF
the same material edging the high, close
collar.
About the shoulders and at the throat
the bodice was sprayed with lilies of the
valley. The sleeves, which came down to
the knuckles, were close fitting to the
shoulder, while the skirt was perfectly
plain and with a train three yards in
length. Miss Mollie Katherine Stuve was
maid of honor and Miss Edith English
Buck served as flower girl. The ushers
were Messrs. English and Willoughb by
Walling, Henry Walker, George Pastield,
Harry Dorwin and Louis Miner.
After the church ceremony there was a
small wedding breakfast at the residence
of the brides father, and the Governor
elect and his bride then left for short
Southern wedding trip. They will return
a few days prior to the Inauguration.
Governor r-elect Tanner marriage to-day
is his second venture on the sea of matri-
mony, his first wife. by whom he has chill
dren now married, having died several
years ago. The bride of to-day is the
daughter OF Turney English of this city,
and has been one of the queens of BELLE
dom. She belongs to one OF the oldest
families in the United States, which traces
its ancestry by noted men and women
back through Virginia and Maryland his
tory to old England.
With American history the family has
been identified since 1900. Among her
near relatives are Governor Peter Turney
of Tennessee Judge Hoke of Louisville
and General Daniel Mcclure, formerly as

President on the ticket headed by General
Hancock; the late DR.. Norvin Green, pres

Company, and The late General ]. B.
Frye, United States army, whose death
occurred recently.
A spice of romance attaches to the we'd
ding from the fact that it was the bride
who first prompted i'll him the ambition
which led TO his becoming candidate for

JAMAICA FRUIT nv LONDON.
An Experimental Sale the Result of
Which Nay in Time Affect California
Chfnnarc

LONDON. ENG, Dec. 30.-Garcia, Jacobs
& Co. conducted the sale at the Covent
Garden market to-day OF an experimental
cargo of Jamaica fruit, which arrived by
the steamer Port Victor. The sale at
tracted crowds of buyers both of London
and from the country. The offerings in
cluded 1000 boxes of oranges, of which
one third was unsuitable, but the remain
der was of excellent quality and averaged
from IS to los per, hundred. About half of
the bananas were in bad conoition, bring
ing only from 5s to IS a bunch. whereas
they ought to have fetched from los to 20s
per bunch had they been in good Greer.
The steamer Eiderslie also brought a
cargo from Jama aica. but the fruit was con-
demned as being unfit for use through de-
fective cooling on board the ship. The
general opinion as to the result of the sale
is that there is no doubt as to the success
of the venture of bringing Jamaica fruit
for sale in the London market when it
arrives in sound condition.
About 800 boxes of the Eiderslies s
oranges were found to be in sound condi-
ton and were sold at from 9s Sd to It's Cd
per box. Riverside oranges sold at from
15s to 22s per box and were adjudged as
excellent in condition and quality.

SHOOTS HIS WIFE
IN A COURTROOM
Sensational Incident in a
st. Louis Divorce
Suit.
The Frenzied Husband Causes a
Panic Before He Is Dis
armed.
Turns the Weapon Upon an Uncle of
the Woman and Tries to Kill
Himself

ST. LOUIS, ILL, Dec. 30.-One of the
most sensational scenes ever enacted in a
courtroom here took place to-day. Jacob
FlscheI shot his wife in the courtroom
and then attempted to kill her uncle as
well as shoot himself. The room was
crowded at the time, and the scattering of
spectators was very active for about five
N inutes.
The trouble between Fischel and his
wife has been of long standing. He
was jealous of her, and when divorce pro-
ceedings were brought, he not only
threatened her life but said that he would
kill himself before she got a cent out OF
him. No attention was paid to him, and
it was believed that he would not execute
his threats.
To-day when the matter came up in
court the first thing the Judge did was to
make an order that Fischel pay his wife
alimony. Fischel first turned red and
then white. With quick movement to
his hip pocket ne faced the Judge and his
wife. In an instant pistol was cleaning
in his hand and pointed directly at his
wife.
Look outl He is going to shoot!"
cried DyStanQer.
The courtroom bailiff rushed toward
Fischel. He was too late, however. for
Fischel fired, and in the binding flash
which followed Mrs. Fischel was seen
to stagger and then fall to the floor.
Fischel rushed over to her and shot her
again.
His wife's uncle then claimed his at
tention and with an oath he shot in his
direction.
By this time every one was climbing
over benches and trying to get out of
range. Judge Wood left his seat and got
behind a cabinet. When the uncle had
escaped Fischel turned the pistol on
himself. He was finally overpowered and
the weapon taken away from him.
The wife's wounds are serious and it is
believed that she will not survive.

DEADLY PLAGUE IN INDIA.
Its Frfghtfut Rara9cs Cause Panic
Antong the People.


Among the People.
LONDON, Eng. Dec. 30-The Bombay
cores spondent of the Daily Mail reports
that the bubonic plague is spreading rap
idly and is exacIiAg much fear. The Off
cial figures show e3aSe ehere were III new
cases and 130 deaths from the disease dur
ing the past two days. These figures,
however are misleading, owing to the in
accuracy of the native doctors, and the
number OF new cases was probably con-
sidera bly, in excess of the official returns.
The death rate is stated to be extremely
high.
Two hundred thousand natives have fled
from the city and the panic is spreading
Special trains have been put on the rail-
ways for the use of refugees, and these are
crammed with people seeking to escape
attack by the disease. The European resi-
dents have so far remained in the city, but
they are getting anxious. 1t is doubtful
whether any Europeans have fallen vic
Tins to the plague. The commercial in
terests combine to stihe the facts regard
ing the ravages of the disease.

Swiss Federal Council to-day rendered a
decision in the matter of the arbitration
claims of the French merchant and ship
owner, M. Fabiani, against Venezuela.
Fabiani asserted that President Bjanco
ruined him. and his claims for indemnity
were submitted to the Swiss confedera-
ton in 1891. The award promulgated by
the Federal Council to-day says that
Venezuela must pay Fabiani 4.346, ,656
francs. The decision solves great many
points affecting the rights of nations, and
the document is expected to be OF the
