SKULL Is LAID OPEN,

The blow was struck about S45 Sum
day night. To all appearances Kad-
Zina was dead for several hours. This
is how the story circulated that his life
passed out. Doctors We're sent for. and
they found II impossible TO do anything
for him. The skull was laid open four
inches and ee-quarterS of an inch
wide, the right side of the brain and
body was paralyZed. and he was uncon-
scous. The loss of blood had been so
profuse that there was scarcely any
strength left, and his pulse was almost
stopped.
For seven hours he laid without a
groan, but at 4 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing he recovered consciousness and
then spoke to those around his bed
side. As a member Of ST. Michaers
Benevolent society of Jessup, his heirs
are entitled to $500 at his death. He
disposed of this money by ordering tina t
headstone be erected above his grave.

Witnesses Testify Regarding Conflicting
Stories Told by Colonel Caleb
Dorsey's SLAYER.

SONORA, CAL, Aug. 12.-The trial OF
John T. Newcomer for the killing OF
Colonel Caleb Dorsey was continued to-
day before Superior Judge Nicol. Imme-
diately after the polling of the jury the
clothing worn by Colonel Dorsey at the
time of the shooting was handed to the
Jury for examination. The overcoat,
coat. vest and undershirt bore mute but
conclusive testimony as to the manner in
which the deceased met his death, all
showing bullet-holes. while the vest and
undershirt were marked by deep GRIM
son stain.
Edward Dorsey, nephew of the de-
ceased, recited the facts of the homicide
as far as he knew them, and in every par
ticular corroborated the testimony of Sam
uel Bateman given yesterday. He posi-
lively denied any knowledge of what had
he had last seen in the mine office on the
morning of the tragedy, and which was
still there when his uncle left. Dorsey
testified that during the time himself his
uncle and Newcomer were at the mill
Shortly before the killing, Newcomer had
asked him in his uncle's presence to loan
him his mule, as he wished to go into
town and have q areceiver appointed for the
mine, as he did not like the way the
dough" (amalgam) was going. His uncle
and Newcomer then left the mill and went
toward the cs bin, where Dorsey was killed.
Th is was the last time he saw him alive.
Benjamin Kollock, r. C. Davis and
Sheriff Yancey testified to the accounts of
the shooting as Newcomer gave them.

Are Slain.
PURSUING POSSE RUNS INTO
AN AMBUSH.
A Second Encounter Disastrous to
the Rurales-Yaquis Join the
RevolutionistS.

EOGALES, ARIz., Aug. II. - Blood
flowed freely to-day in Nogsles, Sonora,
a cross the Mexican line from this city.
At o'clock in the morning a party of
seventy-five of Santa Teresa de Cabora' s
Mexican fanatics-Mexican revolutionists
and Yaqui Indians-attacked the to WI
and attempted to carry the Mexican Gus
tom-house by storm. A bloody battle fol-
lowed, in which seven of the revolution
lists were killed, one taken prisoner and a
half dozen others wounded, the latter be-
ing borne away by their companions.
The Mexioans lost four killed, and as
many more were wounded. The sudden
ness of the attack prevented a combined
defense, and three of the custom house
guards were slain before assistance could
arrive.
The raiders were repulsed and driven
out of town. A posse started in pursuit
only to run into an ambush few miles
from town, and three of its members were
slain, while but one of the revolutionists
fell.
The battle in the darkness this morni ng
was waged for four hours. The invaders
entered the town on foot, yelling "Viva
Santa Teresal' The Mexicans and por-
ton of the Yaquis were armed with rifles
and mschetes, and the balance of the In
dians carried tomahawks and bo WIS and
arrows.
Before the guards of the custom-house
could prepare for a defense, the attacking
party was upon them, and two were shot.
Then an alarm was given, the big town
fire bell being sounded, and armed men
came pouring from every direction. The
soldiers had broken into the custom-house,
and when re-enforcements for the guards
arrived, they were firing into the resi-
dences of Collector of Customs R.
Ogario and Mayor Cara Uortina.
Following the general alarm from the
firebell citizens of the American side of
the line secured all availa bic guns, includ-
ing four militia guns at the armory, ran
across the line and Joined in the fight.
The battle then waged furiously until day
light, when the revolutionists Withdrew,
leaving the citizens of the town in pos
session of the field. During the fight the
townsmen had lost two more in killed,
and a number were more or less danger
ously wounded. The killed were: Manuel
Delahanty and Francisco Fernandez, Mex
lean customs guards: NJ. Penn, Mexican
gendarme, and Cresencio Urbino, a Mexi-
can citizen. Besides the seven Indians
killed and one wounded, one was taken
prisoner.
Captain P. Sanchez of the Mexican po-
lice and four men left on horseback in
pursuit, being accompanied by Juan Fer
nandez, cashier of the Mexican custom
house and brother OF the customs guard,
Francisco Fernandez. They were am
bushed by the raiders five miles west of
Nogales near the line. The revolutionists
opened fire, killing the captain and the
horse ridden by Fernandez. AS soon as
Sanchez horse fell the Indians imade
rush at Sanchez and beat him to death
with guns and machetes.

FRESNO, CAL, Aug 12.-About year
ago bonds, securities and notes to the
value of S25OO, together with some jeweIry,
were stolen from the room of Miss Mac
Mel, sister of the teacher of sciences in the

ton in Fresno for October s, 8 and 10 was

Colvin and lotion were employed as
loggers, and Mrs. Colvln, who is lotions
sister, cooked for the camp. According to
a meager report from the scene of the
tragedy. which is seven miles above Sc
ouoia Mills, Mrs. Colvin and husband
were auari cling when her brother came
up. He took her part and began up
braiding Colvin, and accused him of abus-
ing his wife.
Colvin became enraged at the interfer-
ence of his brother -in-law, and when an
accusation of mistreatment was made he
flew at lotion and knocked him down.
Then he whipped out razor and spran 6
upon the PROSTATE man. In the presence
of his wife Colvin slashed her brothers
throat nun Der of times, almost severing
the head from the body. Colvin executed
the terrible deed so quickly that lotion
could not resist. Blood spurted from the
wounds, and the victim died in few min
utes.
Coivin then quietly ran to his room and
secured his rifle before the other loggers
learned what the trouble was and ran into
the brush. Since then he has not been
seen.

An important step in the prepara-
lions for the exhibition of 1900 has lust
been taken in the selection of NJ. Charles
Girault to superintend the drawing up
OF a model plan for the large building
which is to replace the Palais de I'm
dustrie. This selection was made by
M. Alfred Picard, general commissary
of the exhibition of 1900, and NJ. Bouch-
er, the minister of commerce, and has
given satisfaction to all parties. It was
Charles Girault who was awarded the
first prize for the small palace and the.
fourth prize for the large palace of the
two destined to take the place of the
present Palais de l'Industrie, on the
Champs Elysees. He is a very well
known architect, having been awarded
the grand prix de Rome and having OBJ
tanned first medal at the salon OF 1888.
Under his direction the work of drawing

the exhibition, will be divided among
NM. Deglane, Binet, Thomas and Lou-
vet, the other architects who received
prizes in the recent competition The
work of this council of architects will
be begun at once, and the demolition Of
the old Palais de lIndustrie will probab-
ly be commenced in October.

A dispatch to the London Chronicle
from Tromso, signed by DR.. Nansen,

voyage of the Fran after DR.. Nansen

"The ice pressure was never as Sc

DR.. Nansen left us. During June, 1896,
we were regularly exposed, however.
to violent pressures, caused by the
changing spring tide. The Fran was
once or twice lifted from six to seven
feet. Her bottom became visible as 1t
rested on the ice. So little effect did
this have on the Fran timbers that
the men continued their slumbers un-
disturbed. An easier arctic exploration
one could hardly imagine. The princi-
pnl work was to take regular observa-
tions, sleep and eat. The health Of the
men was perfect during the entire ex-
petition. There was not sign of sour

"When the efforts to advance the ship
through the ice by the force Of steam

found that gun cotton mines proved
the best means Of shattering the ice.
AS rule very high ice foes prevailed,
so extensive that their termination
could not be discerned, even by the tele-
scopes. Often it looked like hopeless
task to break our way out of the ice

construction of our boat, we finally sue
