rience with an insane man last night.
Mr.. .Laugenour and his wife were passen.
gers on train No. 49 from Oakland to

well-dressed man approached Laugen-
our and demanded that he stop talking
about him. Laugenour supposed that his

placate the stranger and at the same time
rid himself of undesirable company prom.
ised that he would not talk about him
again.
A few minutes later the man hastily
walked up to Laugenour again, and, grasp
ing him by the throat, attempted to choke
him to death. He was finally shaken off.
Laugenour then realized that he was deal
ing with a crazy man. and wisely deter
mined not to aggravate him by further
resistance. if it were possible to avoid it.
Laugenour asked for protection and was
removed by the brakeman to another car.
1t was ascertained that the insane man
was from Marysville, and that he had been
in San Francisco home for inebriates.
During the remainder of the trip he was

A TRAGEDY At IBONDALE
Diver Pecarle Killed While At
tempting to Blow Up a
Hulk.
He Is Hurled Into the Sea by ar
Explosion and Sinks to the
Bottom.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, March g.
In attempting to break up the hulk of the
wrecked steamer Idaho at Irondale this
afternoon Peter Pecarle, a professional
diver of Seattle, exploded seventy six
sticks of dynamite, and is now corpse at
the bottom of the sea. He was standing
on float near the wreck, dressed in his
armor, and there calmly lighted fuse
and waited for the explosion. He was
warned to stand back out of danger, and
replied, "I'm all right"
Scarcely had he uttered the words when
frightful explosion occurred within five
feet of where he was standing. The float
was sent up into the air to height Of fifty
feet, and the diver came down with the
debris. His body has not been recovered,
the heavy suit of armor having carried il
to the bottom. He had taken off his he'll
met, belt and shoes, which permitted the
water to flow inside the diving suit.
The distressing accident was witnessed by
dozen workmen, many of whom were
carried off their feet by the force of the
shock. Every effort was made to recover
the body with graphing hooks, but with
out success. and it is supposed to be
caught in the timbers and debris of the
vessel.
Pecarle lived on Puget Sound for many
years. and used the schooner Ellida in his
trade of recovering iron and valuabies
from old wrecks.

THE NEWS OF SAN JOSE,
Amelia Robertson Secures a Par.
tition of the Chynoweth
Estate.
A Drunken Mans Error Leads to His
Arrest for Forgery-A Queen for
the Carnival.

SAN JOSE, CAL, March 6.-Judge Lori
gan this morning rendered a decision in
the suit of Amelia Robertson ct al. against
Ellen G. Lyon ct al, an action brought to
have one third of 1O0-acre tract of land
near EdeDvaie partitioned in favor of the
plaintiff The land is valued at $50, ,OOO.
Mrs. Robertson was the wife of Louis
Chynoweth now deceased. In his life
time he executed deed to his wife of his
one-third interest, delivering it to her with
the instruction that it was not to be re-
corded until his death and he was not to
be deprived of the ownership until then.
The defendants did not deny the execu-
ton of the deed, but held that it was only
intended to act as security for debts, and
that the interest of the deceased in the
property should constitute part of his
estate and be administered upon and dis
tributed according to law.
The court held that according to the
presumption of the law the delivery of the
deed was to be concurrent with its date,
and judgment was given for the plaintiff.

walked up to Constable Clarence Kelton
and pointing revolver at his breast re-
marked, "Well, my boy, I've got you

Kelton turned the weapon aside with a

The assailant was Mortimer Kilgore, and
this is the second time within twelve
months that he has attempted young
Kelton's life. Kilgore is an old man,
much respected in this and Ventura coun-

CANNOT BREAK THE DEADLOCK
Speeches Made by Democrats Cause
Great Excitement in the Joint
Assembly.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 6.-Interest
in to-day's joint session exceeded any
thing since the first days of the long and
tiresome session. The nomination of Col
onel st. John Boyle by the Republicans
last night and the wide split on the Demo-
cratic side as result of Black kburn's re-
fusal to withdraw had created belief that
to-day might bring some sensational
changes in the monotonous situation.
The break to Carlisle began on the Dem
ocratic side when Senator Eliiston's name
was called. He voted for Carlisle and was
followed soon by Senators Holloway, Noe,
Halyer, Smith, Stephenson. besides Weis-

Speaking of this dispatch President
Cleyeland to-day said to reporter of the
United Press:
II see that it is assumed in certain quar-
ters that deliverance published few
days ago on the Cuban question may be
taken as defining the attitude of the ad-
mlnistration on that subject. l wish you
would say that l never saw the state
ment nor heard of it until I read it
in the newspaper, and even then
neglected TO read all of it, sup
posing 1t represented nothing more than a
newspaper guess. l don't know how it
originated, nor by whom it was constructed
or inspired, but do know that am in no
manner responsible for it nor in any way
related to it.
The statement thus repudiated by the
President wasslargely made up of clip
pings from Senate debates, but it was al
legged to have been furnished to the Chi
csgo Associated Press as a special favor
by Secretary Olney.

ROMANCE ENDS IN TRAGEDY.
The Cause of the Trouble Assists in the
Murderer'S Search for His
Rival.

PASADENA, CAL, March g. A Coro-
ner's inquest was held this afternoon over
the body of William Handel, who was
shot yesterday by John A. Barker. The
verdict was that death resulted from gnn-
shot wounds inflicted by j. A. Barker,
with intent to kill. The testimony showed
that Handel was shot III the back either
while lying down, or that he fell at the
first shot and received the second bullet
after the fall. His pockets contained 81 IS.
He was unarmed.
Handel was engaged to marry Mrs.
Barker in his youth. They drifted
apart, and she went to live with
Barker, who had deserted former wife
and daughter. Handel, never forgetting
his old sweetheart, followed her to Pasa-
dena, and they again became intimate.
Handel lived for many months in Bar
kers house, and relatives of Mrs Barker
claim that, by means of threats and black
mail, Barker succeeded in getting money
from Handell who at that time held q
lucrative position, while Barker was idle
Letters from Mrs. Barker to Handel are
in the possession of the officers, and q
written statement from her acknowledg-
ing her relations with Handel is said to
be in the possession of the District Attor-
ney. 1t is alleged that Barker and the
woman were never married. They have
three children.
Handel married some years ago, and
his wife is confined at the Highland in
sane asylum, where Handel was also once
sent but made his escape. Their two chill
dren are in an orphan home in South Pasa-
dena. Since his escape from the asylum
Handell's one idea seems to have been to
win back the affections of the woman he
courted in youth and followed and perse-
cuted with his attentions with or without
encouragement. 1t is believed that he
sought Mrs. Barker yeste rday with no in.
tention of molesting her husband, as be
was unarmed.
Mrs. Barker testified at the inquest that
Handel came to the house about 9 O'Clock
and upbraided her with having illtreatee
him and testified falsely against him. Shs
denied the charge and begged him to &c
away, as she feared that if her husband
found him there would be trouble. Wher
her husband came in, however, she as
sisted in the search for Handell, pointing
out the path he had taken.
Barker is lodged in the county Jail, tc
await the results of the preliminary exam
ination, which will be held Monday.

Horse and Rider FaU From a Scafold-
ing During q Rehearsal
CHICO, CAL, March 6.-During a re-
hearsal of the drama, Pleasures of Paris"
at the Armory Opera-house last evening,
one of the horses used in a scene fell from
high scaffolding. A young boy was rid
ing the animal, but fortunately escaped
injury, as did the persons taking part in
the rehearsal, but the accident caused a
panic on the stage.
The drama was given by Theodore Kre-
mer, an actor, assisted by local talent, to-
night, the rehearsal last night being the
last before the presentation. In one scene
three horses mount large scaffoIding.
The rehearsal was progressing nicely when
the signal was given for the animals to
enter. The first one. ridden by young
John Robinson, went brayely up the scat
folding, but after reaching it made a mis-.
step. Suddenly there was heavy crash
and horse and rider went tumbling to the
stage.
The women who were to figure in tsThe
Pleasures of Paris" screamed and one
tainted. Several of the male amateurs
hastened to the assistance of the boy, but
he was found to be more scared than hurt,
having received but few bruises. Blood
was pouring from the horses nostrils, but
the animal survived the crash.

They Are Taking the Body of
Their Mother to Her Old
Illinois Home.
THE ELDEST TEN YEARS OLD.
Secret Society Members Will Look
After Their Welfars Until the
Journey Ends.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, March 6.-Four lit
tie children, the oldest under ten years,
started alone to-day for Charleston. H.,
with the corpse of their mother. They
boarded the Chicago Limited and took
seats among number of strangers, who
were laughing and chatting. There was
no indication in the faces of the men and
women that death was near. Outside on
the platform there was rafting and
banging of trunks and the usual noise of
railway station. Baggagemen tenderIy
picked UP a long box and placed it among
the trunks in the forward car, the remainder
of the trunks and valises were piled in,
and the conductor looked again at his
watch as the time for departure neared.
Everybody seemed to be lighthearted,
but the children were sad-faced, and
the youngest. a 3-year-old tot, began to
cry for its mother. The eldest girl wiped
away the little ones tears and spoke COM
forting words, although the spring of her
own sorrows was full TO overfiowing.
A man and woman entered the car with
the little ones and endeavored to make
them cheerful, but they could not bring
smiles to the sad faces, though the
tears were dried. When the conductor
shouted" All aboard !''the man and woman,
their own eyes filled with tears, hurried
out to the platform, after giving the little
ones farewell kiss. The engine started and
soon the last coach was out of sight around
the bend at Cedar street. The man and
woman watched it as far as they could see
any part of the train and then turned
away. Poor little things" they said.
The four little children were those of
Mrs. Ada Mathes, who died at 234 Grand
avenue on Wednesday from consumption.
She had come here five weeks ago from
Charleston, ILL.,, with her children, and
when she died the little ones were left
alone, and alone they are going with her
remains to Charleston.
The father of the little children had be-
longed to fraternal organization, and
the members of the organization did
everything they could to make the or
phans comfortable. kilograms were sent
ahead to-day to lodges along the road re-
questing that the travellers be looked after,
and it is probable that they will be well
cared for along their homeward way.
