Many physicians believe that the
fumes of kerosene. when the lamp is
turned low. may cause diphtheria.
Many sleeping rooms are thus semi
lighted all night, and the windows
closed, or raised but slightly. A
turned-down kerosene lamp is a mag
azine of deadly gas, to which the
healthiest lungs cannot be exposed

PLAYED BUFFALO BILL.
And as a Result Harry Long Is Quite
 Seriously Wounded.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Oct. 15.-A boyish desire to emulate the brave deeds of Buffalo Bill almost resulted yesterday evening in the death of liar ry Long, the 12-year-old son of sa- loon keeper at Twenty-fourth and Fairmount avenue. Young Long and a friend about his own age named Louis Hewer, the 1O-year-old son of W. H. Hewer, foreman of the Chicago & Alton car works, agreed to play highwaymen on Terrace street, be- tween Twenty-third and Twenty fourth streets. Hewer was ito act as the robber, and Long was to be his vic tim. The former stood behind high fence, and when the Long boy came along. he was to rush out and hold him up. He had a small knife, and when Long came past his hiding place, he seemed to forget that he was in fun, and, rushing out, plunged the knife in Harry Longs stomach.
 The accident was discovered soon, and Long was removed to his home, where several physicians worked on him during the night, finally bringing him out of danger. Young Hewer was arrested by Officer Todd and is held waiting the outcome of Longs wound.

SPAIN MUST YIELD.
Three American Demands Which Will
 Not Be Withdrawn.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-The state department has received some import ant information from Minister Hannis Taylor at Madrid relating to three de- mands made upon the Spanish govern ment by Secretary Olney short time ago. MT. Taylor reports that Spain has acceded to two of these demands and emphatically denied the third. Relative to the denial, he says he has sternly protested and in earnest language again presented the American case. Minister Taylor now reports that Span has &C., ceded to the demands of the United States in the cases of the Competitors crew and Julio Sanguily, but that she has turned deaf ear to the American claims in behalf of the Delgados. He states that the case of the Competitor 8 crew has been decided by the Madrid court, that the sentence has been an- nulled, and that the case has been re- handed to the ordinary courts of Cuba, and adds that public announcement to this effect will be made by the foreign | office in few days. A letter will, it is thought, be sent to General Weyler in- forming him of the decision of the court and directing him to bring the mem bers Of the crew before the proper civil court at Havana. Consul General Lee will be instructed 10 see that the trial is a full and fair one. The state departmen nt officials are of the opinion that nothing more than this could be property UT der. taken.
 The information from Minister Taylol in regard to the Sanguily case is that the Madrid court has remitted the case to the Havana court for retrial, on the ground that there was insufficient evi dence to warrant conviction. Sanguily is naturalized American. He was ar rested early in 1895 on the charge O conspiracy against the Spanish authori ties and tried by court martial. It II believed here that with fair trial San gully will be acquitted upon the re hearing the Madrid court has granted to him.
 The news from Madrid in relation tt these two cases is gratifying to official. of the state department, but the in formation that Spain has refused to ac cede 0 Secretary 0lney's demands il the Delgado case occasions considerable dissatisfaction. MT. OIney is known tt regard thls as one of the most if not tn, most serious of the Spanish cases befor him. A copy of Mr. Taylor's note t the foreign office at Madrid is expected here in week or ten days. If It is no strong enough Secretary Olney will. i is understood, forward to Madrid dis patch which thoroughly and frml, states the position of the United State and demands prompt action by Span

IOWA ALL RIGHT.
Mir. Hepburn Says Mckinley Will
 Surely Be Elected

WASHINGTON, Oct. 15.-Represent ative Hepburn of Iowa, who has been busy in campaign work, was in Wash ington few hours today.
 Iowa is asolutely safe for McKin- ley," said MT Hepburn. ''The Repub- ican ticket will be elected by a ma jority that will certainly not be less than 30,000 and will probably be more. There is not a well informed Republi- can in the state who is at all anxious. I cannot imagine how unfavorable re- ports could be circulated in the east about our state unless it can be charged to the general tendency of the opposi- tion to disseminate falsehoods in this campaign. This talk of Republican disaffection on account of silver is all nonsense. The Republicans in Iowa who will vote for silver and leave their party to do it can only be counted by ones and twos in a township, and they will not figure in the result

 Catalemen in the Tonto country are jubilant; they are getting good prices for their cattle and the forage is bet ter than for years past.

THE GILA RAGING.
High Water Partially Damages the
 Railroad Bridge

The Gila river is again booming. A telegram from Florence yesterday stated that the river is higher at that point than it has been for eight years. The rushing, swirling waters in some places covers wide area of country.
 The Gila bridge was rendered unsafe and the train from Maricopa yesterday morning was unable to cross. The billing supporting one of the bents of the bridge was loosened and one of the supports was broken and carried off. The structure rests entirely on piling and the force of the water moved the

bridge a couple of feet at one of the approaches.
 A special train was sent from Phoe- nix to the Gila, where the passengers and baggage were transferred across the bridge. The mail and express mat ter was taken across on a handcar. Several of the passengers crossed the bridge in fear, for to them it looked as if the madly rushing waters would carry the bridge away at any moment and they would be engulfed.
 The special arrived here about 1 o'clock. It will take a couple of days to strengthen the bridge SO that trains can cross. In the meantime passen- gers will be transferred across the river to the train on the Maricopa side.

STORY OF AN ABUSED WIFE
Seeks Release From Her Mar
 riage Ties.
Alleges Tha. H CT Husband Subjected Her to the Most Cruel IndiGnitieS. Stirring Tale of an Unhappy Mar ried Life.

A strange story of marital infelicity will soon be related in court. The pa pers were filed in the district court clerks office yesterday. The suit is in the nature of divorce proceedings, and the plaintiff is Mrs. Mora Morrell, who prays that the ties which bind her to her husband, Lafayette Morrell, be dis solved.
 Mrs. Morrell alleges that she was welded to Lafayette Morrell in this county on the 17th day of September, 1890. Only two years later a boy was born to them. Several months prior to the advent of the babe the domestic horizon became clouded.
 The first family tilt happened when the husband raised his hand and with clinched fist struck his wife After that, according Ito the plaintiffs story, he struck her almost daily. He after wards threatened to kill her and was only prevented from doing her bodily injury by the interference of bystand- CTS. The complaint embodies the following thrilling story: In the winter of '95, in a fit of rage, he armed himself with a butcher knife and Threatened to use it, but changed his mind and attempted to gouge out her eyes. Her eyes gave her excruciating pain for week and for that period she was almost blind
 A short time subsequent to that oc- currence he dragged the woman from her bed at night in a scantily clad con- dition. He forced or dragged her to a brush shed near the house and tied he1 hands and feet with ropes. He then securely bound her to a post and com pelled their 4year-old child to hnni her with a stick. When the child
 to desislt from exhaustion, the fathel took the stick and beat her while in { helpless condition for period of abou two hours.
 At various times he tore the clothe. from her back and she had to go tt neighbors for clothing with which ft cover herself. On one occasion ht took her ill a buggy to the Hole-in-the Rock and tried to choke her, at thu same time making his oft repeated threats to kill. He finally threw he. from the buggy.
 One night in November of last yea he secured a bottle of chloroform ana making his wife go with him, he drov, towards the Salt river During tn journey he told her that he was goin, to tie her in the river bed and admin ister the chloroform, then leave he there to die. Her screams attracte, the attention of some people and h was forced to leave the road and driv into the brush. Her continues screams, however, prevented him iron carrying out his purpose.
 For self preservation she was force to leave him two months ago and cam to Phoenix, where she has been sup porting herself and boy by kaking il washing and performing other manua labor. Since she has lived in the cit her husband calls almost daily, an using vile and obscene languagt threatens to burn her house down an poison the water on the premises.
 All of the statements related abov are alleged in the complaint
