A MANAGES AWFUL WORK
Cuts the Throat of His Wife, a
Hired Woman and
Himself.
Crazad by Jealousy and the Election
EXcitement-All Three Will
Probably Die.

NASHVILLE, TENN. Nov. IA fright
full crime was committed in this city at an
early hour this morning. One person
was killed. another mortaly wounded
and the murderer then attempted his own
life.
For some months past Thomas Lynch, a
hard-working mechanic who lived on
Allison street, in the Eastern suburb OF
the city, has been acting very queerly.
His friends insisted that he was crazy, but
as none of his acts were violent his family
refused to have him shut up in an asylum.
1t was believed that Lynch was insanely
jealous of his wife, who was quite comely
and attractive woman. Lynch was also
greatly excited over the election. He took
deep interest in the financial question and
would talk for hours about the oppression
or laborers and how much money was
needed in the country.
Last night he went to bed quietly and
seemed to be IN happier frame of mind
than he had been for months. Early this
morning he rose stealthily, and going to
drawer he took out a razor. Creeping over
to where his wife was sleeping he delib-
erately cut her throat. Leaving her NOR
tally wounded he went to the room where
the hired woman slept, and, taking her by
surprise, cut her throat. Finally, satisfied
with his awful work, he attempted his
own life.
Lynch and his wife are now in the hos
pital, and it is believed that they will not
recover.

SPAIN SPARS FOR TIME,
Promises to Crush the Cubans
in Sixty Days or EVacuate
the Island.
Regarded as Clever Diplomatic
Move to Forestal1 Action by
President Cleveland.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. S.--A Journal
special from Washington says: Informa-
tion of the most startling character re-
garding correspondence between Presi-
dent Cleveland and the Spanish Minister,
Senor Dupuy de LONE, concerning the
future course of this country toward
Cuba, was current here to-day.
1t is said that few days ago the Presi-
dent, in semi-official manner, sent to as
certain from the Spanish Minister whether
he had any information that he might be
willing to give regarding the future course
of Spain toward the insurgents in Cuba.
To this suggestion Senior Dupuy de LONE
is said to have returned letter in which
he assured the President that within sixty
days from the date thereof November y,
Spain would have crushed the revolution
or Withdrawn her troops from the island.
To this astounding reioinder President
Cleveland is said to have replied, on the
following day, that he would consider tn at
information impaired by the Spanish
Minister as sufficient to justify this Gov
ernmenI in delaying any action until the
expiration of the time named, and by that
same token he would feel justified in
recommending recognition of the Cuban
republic should the Spanish Government
fail to restore peace within two months.
In the opinion of those who know the
Spanish Minister this move on his part is
regarded as q clever diplomatic attempt to
forestall any action by the President based
on the report that Consul-General Lee is
believed to be about to make, and to secure
postponement of action by the executive
until the winter campaign shall have been
inauourated

church and his wife, gave a reception to
the American colony at their residence In
kurfurstenstrass on Tuesday. The at
tendance was a veritable crush, all of the
members OF the American official and So
cial circles being present. Mr.. and Mrs.
Dicksee were assisted by Mr.. and Mrs. Uhl
and Mrs. Patterson, the wife of ]. G. Pat
terson, the Governor of Manitoba.
The American barytone Arthur Vane-
wyk will give concert on November 10
at the Saal Bechsteit. Miss Groewelt, a
protege of Miss Uhl, gave a concert this
afternoon.
Mr.. A. Loreher has two busts on exhi-
bition at Schultes Art Salon. They have
been very favorably criticized by the Ber-
lin press.
J. L. Taylor, general European agent Of
the Pennsylvania Railroad, with head
quarters in London, has been visiting
Berlin and has had an interview with
Herr Thielen, Prussian Minister of Pub
lie Works, being introduced to the Minis
ter by j. b. Jackson, first secretary OF
the United States EN- mbassy. 1t was Mr..
Taylor who made the arrangements for
the transit through the United States re-
Gently of Prince Hilkoff, the Russian
Minister of Public Works and Railways,
and assisted him in getting his special
saloon carriage across the Russian from
tier upon the occasion of the Minister'S
late tour of inspection of foreign railways.
United States ambassador Uhl requests
the United Associated Presses to correct
the statement made by some correspond
ents of American papers that his daugh-
ter. Miss Lucy Uhl, is engaged to be mar
rled to stud snt in Yale University. The
gentleman to whom Miss Uhl is engaged
IS Professor Guy Thompson, a member of
the faculty of Yale University.

FLEMING AFTER CARLISLE
The Discharged Chief of a De
partment Scores the
Secretary.
Accuses His Superior of Having Acted
in a Treacherous and Tyran.
nical Manner.

WASHINGTON, D. e., Nov. Judge
W. B. Fleming, who was removed from
the position as chief of the law and record
division of the Supervising Architects s
Office, Treasury Department, on Wednes-
day last. to-day sent the following letter
TO Secretary Carlisle:
SIR: Our Government guarantees to all its
citizens the privilege OF free speech SO that
every man has the natural right to express in
proper manner his political opinions. In
accepting office the citizen forfeits neither his
civil nor his religious liberty. The civil
service law was intended not to destroy these
rights, but to protect them, so that the minor
official should at least be as secure in defend
ing the creed and nominees OF his party as
would be q cabinet officer in exercising the
same inalienable rights.
No objection on your part to my activity in
the campaign which has Just closed was ever
made known to me pending the campaign.
On the contrary, was informed that you held
TO the view that you could not consistently
remove any man from Office for exercising the
same rights which you yourself were exercis-
ing. Ny removal from Office, the first Intima-
ton OF which was obtained from the news
papers while on the train on my return to
Washington from my home, was therefore q
complete surprise to Ine.
No one knows better than yourself the
long friendship had manifested for Won the
interest had taken and the sacrifices of time
and money made by me in promoting your
ambitions In view of all the facts ii seems to
ing and notice before being kicked out of Office
without even the opportunity of declining TO
resign.
Had known or suspected that could not
hold Office under this administration and at
the same time exercise the rights of an Ameri-
can freeman would have promptly rendered
you my resignation at the opening OF this cam
paign.
Inasmuch as other appointees of the present
administration, including many in your own
department, have been permitted to take an
active part against Mr.. Bryan in the cam
pa1gn not only on the stump but in the work
OF organization, without rebuke or removal,
1t is evident that the cause of my offending
lies not in my actions but in my convictions.
1t follows therefore that you have used your
great office to suppress freedom of thought
and action and to punish those who dare to
differ from you-a thing insupportable in free
government-by terroriZing over the weak and
humble. For such abuse of public Office,
which is public trust, you cannot but be
held accountable at the bar of public opinion
as well as by the verdict of history.
In conclusion, can only say that humble
as am would rather be a discharged en-
| ploye OF the Treasury Department, discharged
for doing my duty as l see it for my people,
than TO be Secretary OF the Treasury with a
record OF standardization such as you have
made for yourself, staring me in the face.
This much OF a protest deem it proper to
make against your treacherous and tyrannous
action. Very truly yours, w. B. FLEMING.

IN A FLOODED c0LLIERY.
Eighty Miners Have Thrilling Experience
and Miraculous Escape From
Dr0W1ino

SHENANDOAH, Pa, Nov. Eighty
miners had thrilling experience and
miraculous escape from drowning in
Packer No. colliery to-day. The recent
rains had caused the flooding of part of
the mine and dam was built in No. l to
head off the fooc and give the pumps a
better chance to catch up. Edward Will
son, miner employed in No. gangway,
noticed the water rapidly rising in this
place and investigation showed that the
breastwork in No. was breaking. Wilson
Immediately gave the alarm inside, but
the water rose with such rapidity that the
miners were obliged to wade several hum
dred feet through water up to their necks,
and before they reached the bottom of the
slope they were frequently obliged to
swim. One of the men lost his cap bear
ing the mining lamp and was left behind
in the darkness. Three miners, after
heroic efforts, returned and found the
missing man fioundering about in deep
water and so much exhausted that he was
hardly able to Keep his head above water.
They finally succeeded, however, in get
ting him out. No one was injured.

GENERAL BRECKENRIDGE REPORTS
Recommendation That the Confederate
Dead be Taken From Trenches
and Regularly Inferred.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. I'm
spector- General Breckenridge of the army
in his annual report shows that accounts
of disbursing officers aggregating over
$72, 100000 have been examined during
the year. Recommendations to avoid an
unnecessary number Of entries and need
less handling of the same sum and report
ing IL over and over again have been fol-
lowed out and great improvement is
noticeable. The National homes for dis
abled soldiers are in fine condition and
reports from them show no decadence
anywhere. The fourteen arsenals and
armories of the army indicate that the
officers in charge display excellent iudg-
ment in the administration of affairs.
In the report OF the inspection of the
National cemetery at Lexington, Ky., it
IS stated "that the Confederate dead still
lie in the trenches where they were buried
after the battles of Perryville and Mill
SPRINGS, uncared for. To make the ceme-
terry National in the true sense I strongly
recomm end that these bodies be moved
and reinterred beside those whom they
fought in the nearest National Gem eterv
and the care Of the Government extended
to all alike
The colleges at which military instruc-
tion by army officers is given are declared
to be in a hourishing condition ana ac-
com plishing useful results.

THE WONDERFUL X-RAY.
It's Incalculable Benefit to the
Physician or Surgeon.
Doctor Cook. the First Specialist on
the Pacific Coast to Operate
the X.Ray.

Few events of modern ages have so
greatly agitated the scientific world as
Prof Roentgen's discovery of the X-Ray.
By its aid the physician or surgeon can
look farther into the mysteries of life and
penetrate deeper the secrets OF disease
than has ever before been done by human
eyes. The living skeleton is laid bare.
Flesh becomes as transparent as crystal.
The exact position of the bullet, fracture,
tumor and other diseases or deformities OF
the internal organs is easily located and
plainly seen.
The mammoth X-Ray now in use By
Doctor Cook is of the very best and latest
improved edition, and shows beyond the
shadow of a question that this distin-
guished specialist is strictly up to date in
everything pertaining to his profession.

RUDE END or A ROMANCE
Charles Fisher, Wandering Piano Tuner.
Arrested for Inducing a Harvard
Girl to EIope.

HARVARD, ILL.,, Nov. z. = Charles
Fisher. wandering piano-tuner, who a
short time ago induced Miss May O'Con-
nor, the daughter of wealthy resident of
this place, to elope with him, was brought
back from Chicago by the Sheriff of this
county to-day. They were met at the de-
pot by an indignant crowd OF Harvard
citizens and the authorities with difficulty
protected the prisoner from being vio-
lently dealt with. He was fastened be-
fore Justice Card, who held him in bonds
OF $500 on the charge of abduction and
then the prisoner was taken to the Wood
stock County Jail.
Fisher came here from Chicago short
time ago and induced Miss O'Connor, in
the absence of her parents, to elope with
him. They were apprehended by the
Chicago authorities and, it is claimed,
had not been married civilly. Miss O'Con-
nor is at her home.

Mr. CASTLES GRATITUDE
Thanks Embassador Bayard and
Urges Him to Further
Effort.
Mental and Physical Condition of His
Unfor tunate Wife a Case for
the Home Office.

LONDON, ENG, Nov. Walter M. Cas-
tie, whose wife was sentenced yesterday.
addressed letter to United States En-
bassador Bayard this morning, conveying
an expression of his thanks for the assist
ance rendered to Mrs. Castle and himself
by the ambassador and members of the
embassy. Castle also urged Mr.. Bayard
to use every possible effort to effect the
release of his wife. He pleaded her inno-
cence of any crime. He said she was men,
tally irresponsible and in a precarious
condition of health.
copy of the letter was also sent by
mail to-day to Secretary Olney at Wash
ington. Mrs. Castle will be taken to
America Immediately after her release.
1t is learned that at the consultation OF
judges in the Clerkenwen sessions yester-
day a number of magistrates voted for
Mrs. Castles acquittal, but were outvoted,
whereupon they signed petition to the
Home Office praying for her release.
In view OF the strong influence being
brought in her behalf and the evidence
given by the doctors that she is irrespon-
slble, It IS considered almost certain that
she will soon be set at liberty:
When taken to the prison yesterday
Mrs. Castle was treated like any other
prisoner, no special orders having been
given to the contrary. Mr.. Castle accom-
panied his wife to the prison, and the
scene was most pathetic when he parted
from her.
Mrs. Castle was examined by the prison
doctor. who at once ordered her into the
intirmary, where she was made as com
Portable as possible, and two nurses were
detailed to take care of her. Much of the
afternoon she was hysterical and seemed
hardly to know where she was.
The prison doctor displayed great SYM
pathy and said: "Thls woman is not ri ght.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. THE one
hundred and twenty eighth annual din

the most memorable in the entire history
of that body. The sound-money trium ph
has communicated degree of en- nthusiasm

Among these are President Cleveland and
his Cabinet and Vice-President-elect Ho-

but may not attend.
An invitation has been sent to former
President Harrison, but it is not known
whether he can accept it. Governor Nor
ton will be there, together with Governor
elect Black and Mark Hanna.
The list of speakers has not yet been
made out, but it will include some of the

This is surely case for the Home Office

This is surely case for the Home Office
officials"
Other officials OF the prison, accustomed
to such scenes, were deeply sympathetic.
The mental and physical condition OF
Mrs Castle continues the same as when
she was first removed to the hospital in
Wormwood Scrubs prison. She is no
better, nor can she be said to be any worse.
The prison physicians are of the opinion
that prolonged confinement would greatly
lessen what chances she may have of per-
manent recovery.
The Globe, commenting upon the result
OF the Castle trial. says: We hope that Sir
Matthew White Ridley will not delay in
releasing Mrs. Castle. 1t is a degradation
OF justice TO punish this unhappy victim
OF q serious mental disease.

FREAK BETS ARE DUE.
Severe Penance on Many Men Hho Lo,

Severe Penance on Many Men Hho Lost
Bryan.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Nov. THE season
of exhibition for those who made eccen-
trio wagers on Bryan's election to the
Presidency opened yesterday. This Gus
tom in New York is prevalent chiefly
among the Germans. In many cases the
penance is not so easy as it sounds. For
instance, one Bryanite has contracted to
roll peanut mile with toothpick: an
other has to eat a sandwich made of shay
ing soap, and another has agreed to paint
ton OF coal white. taking each particular
piece in turn.
General j. Madison Drake of Elizabeth.
n. j.. will go with his hair uncut until
William Jennings Bryan is elected. In
August last the general made bet with a
friend that in case Bryan was defeated he
would not again have his hair cut until
Bryan was sent to the White House, and
as result of the bet the general already
has a crop of hair that is the envy of local
football players. As General Drake does
not seem inclined to badness, he will
probably become character in the State.
unless the bet is Cancelled.
