Slept for Seven Years.

BUsHKILL, Pa, Jan. 13.-After a cata-
leptic sleep of seven years, William De-
pue, prominent citizen of this place, has
suddenly returned to consciousness and
good health. In the years that have passed
all that medical science could do has been
done to arouse-the sleeper, but without tho
slightest effect. On Friday he awoke and
announced his intention of going to work.
He set about his usual labors as if he had
been asleep but seven hours instead Of
seven years, and is as vigorous and healthy
as ever he was. The only result of his long
sleep is that his eyesight has become dim,
and it is feared that he may soon become
blind. The seven years has been blank

Foul Work Committed at a Wedding in
Trenton.
SOME GOOD DETECTIVE WORK |
They Got Five Hours Start on the Police
but All Clues Have Not Run Short.
Man Arrested at East Mauch
Chunk on Suspicion.

If the guilty parties can be apprehended
in time the criminal court Of this county will
have murder case to try at its next term.
A Lithuanian wedding at Trenton, near
Delano, forms the nucleus of the affair.
Peter Magalunis, 20 years of age, Is the
victim, and Martin Magklet and Andrew
Rabdulfski are the men accused of the crime.
They are at large and, as they had several
hours start on the authorities, it may be
difficult to trace them.
The wedding at which the murder took
place started Friday night Beer and
whiskey flowed all night and Saturday until
the murder took place, which is fixed at
about three o'clock in the afternoon.
1t is stated that Magalunis, the murdered
man. was an intruder at the wedding. He
was elected repeatedly and the last time was
beaten and kicked SO badly that he died
shortly after being found by his friends and
removed to his boarding house.
Constable Neil Brennan was armed with a
warrant to arrest the murderers, but the
riotous conduct of the people where the
wedding ceremonies were in progress made
him timid about attempting an arrest single
handed. Brennan therefore summoned aid
and at eight o'clock Saturday night he went
to the house accompanied by c. Il /. Police
men Geiger and Smith and eight citizens of
Mahanoy City, but the murdcrers had fed
with five hours start.
Deputy Coroner Fogarty, with the aid of
DR.. w. S. Horn held post-mortem. A cot
of blood found on the brain, ON the left side,
was decided upon as the cause of death. The
body of the victim was covered with bruises.
The authorities have since been actively
engaged in tracing clues of all sorts in the
hope of running down the murderers. This
morning c. & l. Policeman Geiger received a
piece of information that caused him to make
a hurried departure for East Mauch Chunk,
and at noon to-day arrested John Kornoufky
at that place on suspicion. He will be given
a hearing this evening before Squire May, at
MahanOy City

THE VENEZUELA DIFFICULTIES.
Mr.. NOrman'S Final Proposition Re-
garding the Dispute.
ARBITRATE ALL CONTROVERSIES
An Agreement by England Direct with
Venezuela Would be Welcomed by
President Clevelands Cabinet
and Our Government.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13-Mr. Henry Nor
man, the special commissioner of the Lon
don Daily Chronicle, sent the following
dispatch to his paper before leaving Wash
ington yesterday:
"There is a simpler solution of the pres
ent difficulty and restoration of cordial re-
lationS between England and America
than any have yet suggested But first
L must make one point clear. l observe
that the foreign office is reported to have
confirmed the statement that Canada has
not agreed to the Behring sea arbitration
treaty. There must be a misapprehension
in England concerning this. / know pos
itively and assert for the third time, des-
plte any denial that Canada has agreed.
If the foreign Office has really denied this,
then the foreign office is unaware of the
facts.
Now this treaty is about to be returned
to the American government. Why should
not Lord Salisbury attach to it Il clause
providing for the arbitration of all pend
ing questions, and even of all future ones
Besides Venezuela and Canada, there are
the Alaskan boundary, the eastern fish
cries and other questions causing discord.
If he does this l am able TO state that the
administration will accept with pleasure
the treaty so altered. This is a method of
accomplishing everything with perfect
honor and dignity to both parties.
'As | cabled a week ago an agreement
by England direct with Venezuela would
be welcomed by the cabinet, and this is
still perhaps the most probable settlement.
Therefore l may add on authority that if
Lord Salisbury will inform the American
government that he is willing to resume
diplomatic relations with Venezuela the
cabinet here will press Venezuela to re-
quest England to renew diplomatic rela-
tions.
But this, even if possible, would only
be counter irritant and not radical
cure, eXtirpating international discord at
its root. 1t is, therefore, infinitely desir-
able that Lord Salisbury adopt the former
method which would be equally simple,
honorable and effective 1t is certain now
that he will not attempt to uphold the
| Schomburgk line without arbitration, so
| surely it would be the best policy to secure
| everything at once by master stroke GER
tain of welcome here, and remove all
sources of discord with the United States
from the person of British politics.
Moreover, Lord Salisbury would be
wise to terminate the matter before }razil
demands arbitration of her end of the
Schomburgk line, thus adding a new and
difficult complication.

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
Ne Probability of a Vote on the senate's
Silver Bill This Week.

WASHINGTON, Jan 13.-The greater part
Of the time of the senate during the pres
ent week will be consumed in the discus
sion Of the finance committees silver sub
stitute for the bond bill Senator Morgan
leads off with speech today, and Senators
Daniel and Dubois have also given notice
Of speeches. Various other senators arc
known to be prepared to take the floor
either in advocacy of or opposition TO the
substitute. The probabilities are all
against securing vote on the measure
during the week The advocates of the
bill have special reason for desiring q
temporary delay. Approaching the close
margin on the vote, they are desirous that
the Utah senators, of whose support they
feel confident should be in their seats
when the vote is taken There are several
other questions Of minor Importance on
the senate calendar, which Will receive at
tention during the morning hour each day.
The week in the house will be devoted
to routine matters. As soon as the con-
sideration of the rules is completed the
pension appropriation bill will be taken
up. As quite number of members desire
to be heard on various matters connected
with the administration of the pension
office, and various proposed reforms there
in, it has been decided to allow ample
time for debate, and it is not believed that
the bill will be disposed of before Thurs
day. The remainder of the week will be
devoted to such other matters as may be
brought up.

murdered Nobody seems to be able to

marked effect, and when the police arrived

nearing on Case Of Alleged Malicious Prose.
cution by F. Gilman on W. 4. Rhoades.

On warrant of malicious persecution.
Frank Gilman was arrested, Tuesday
night, by instigation Of ". A. Rhoades a
trader on the East side
1t will be remembered that Rhoades re.
celved vailse and clothing from Frank
oliman. A suit was brought against the
iormer for receiving goods, knowing them
to have been stolen. 1t was then shown
that the goods had not been stolen, and a
search and seizure made upon Rhoadcs to
recover the property.
In the civil suit which followed
Rhoades was compelled to pay the costs
of court. But he claimed that n search
and seizure was an unwarrauted action
and caused Frank Gilman arrest on that
account.
A trial was held in the jail Wednesday
evening, before Justices of the Peacs F.
j. G. Little and +. NJ. Thompson, to rem
der decision in the case brought by Gil
mans counsel, Whitehouse < Fisher that
the prisoner was entitled to release on a
disclosure being poor debtor
The hearing of the case was continued
until Thursday, the prisoners counsel
maintaining that his claims could be sub
stantiated by similar decisions.
The counsel for the prosecution, Will
Hanson q Burleigh claimed that the
law did not apply, because Gilman was
not debtor; and because the prisoner was
not intending to leave the State.
The case will not come up in court for
trial before June, until which time Gil
man. in default of securing the necessary
bonds, will have to remain in Jail, unless
he can be released on account Of his
poverty,
He came here, four weeks ago and was
at the time of his arrest engaged at work
in the mills of the Edwards Manufacture
ing Co. He came from Ware Village.

family dependent upon him.
