to herself and Thorn, and these two
positively identified the prisoners. Peo-
pie in the neighbOrhOOd of the cottage
were found who had seen what they
considered to be bloody water flowing
from the drain pipe of the cottage on
that Friday evening. The drain pipe
in question is the only outlet from the
bath tub in which Thorn is said to have
cut the murdered mans throat In the
house itself blood stains We're detected
and bullets were found embeddedsin the
walls.
Since his arrest, Thorn, it is alleged.
has made a confession, and the author
tiles in Long Island City discovered the
compromising letter which he tried to
swallow.
The letter showed an intention on the
part of both the man and woman to
cheat the law by committing suicide.
While they were confined in the TOmbs
prison it was impossible for them to
communicate with each other, but since
they were transferred to the Queens
county jail they seemed to have been
able to exchange correspondence. Dis
trict Attorney Olcott of this county and
District Attorney YOungS of Queens
county, after due 'deliberation, decided
that it was better to try the case in
Queens county, as the murder is al
legged to have been committed there,
although the plot was concocted in New
York
Thorn, it is said, told a fellow pris-
Oner that he would have completed the
sibility of detection if Mrs. Mack had
not been too hurried about the DISPOSE
tiOn of the various portions of the body.
On the other hand, it is said that Mrs.
Mack, in letter to her paramOur, had
told him that he talked too much An
instance of his talking capacity is given
in a statement made by Frank B.
Clarke, who was Thorns cell mate in
the TOmbS. According to Clarke, the
alleged murderer, having drank some
whisky, supplied to Clarke incidentally,
became so communicative as to tell him
he had thrown Guldensuppe's head,
which has not yet been recovered, into
a clump of bushes near the WOOdside
cottage; that from there it was re-
moved by a friend of ThOrn's, who, af
terWardS, dropped it overheard near
the fishing banks off Long Branch, from
the fishing boat J. B. Schuyler, which,
by the way, was burned to the waters
edge a few weeks ago.
Clarke's story is considered reliable
and it is said that the friend who dis
posed of the head is Thorns brOther-in-
law, and will be produced at the trial
as a witness for the prosecution.

FISH CROP REPORT.
A Larger Area Sown Than Last Year
and a Good Stand.

Washington, Nov. 9.-Unfted States
Fish Commissioner John J. Brice has
submitted to the president a summary
of the work accomplished by the fish
commission since December 1, 1896. AS
result of the seasons operations at
the cod stations in New England, $50
million eggs were collected from which
9S million fry were liberated in the nat
ural spawning grounds along the coast
of Massachusetts. The results secured
were 40 million in excess of the pre-
ViOus year.
At the completion of the cod work
the propagation of the fiat fish (winter
hounder) was undertaken at Woods
Pole, Mass, on a scale much larger
than heretofore, as evidenced by an out
put of over 64 million of fry from to-
tai collection of 80 million eggs, SO mil
lion in excess of the previous year.
To further extend the propagation of
the lobster, over 128 million eggs were
secured, producing 115 million fry-an
increase of 20 million.
To further test the feasibility of the
introduction of the Quinnant salmon in
eastern waters, five million eggs were
transferred from the Battle Greek, Cal
ifOrnia station during the fall of 1896
and as a result ( million fry were lib
Grated during the past spring in the St.
Lawrence, Hudson and Delaware riv-
ers.
The rainbow trout, native only to the
mountain streams of the Pacific coast
has been successfully acclimatized in
nearly every state east of the Rocky
mountains. Reports from all sections
of country indicated the naturalization
of the large mouth black bass in
streams hitherto unOccupied by them.
The very active prosecution of the
fisheries in certain streams threatens
to seriously reduce the supply unless
effective measures are taken to over

BARRIOs is SUPREME.
Leaders of the Revolution Take Ref
uge in San Francisco.

San Francisco, Nov. 9.-General Dan
iel Feuntes, the prime mover in the re-
cent revolution in Guatemala, and COM
mander of the insurgent forces, was
one of the passengers who arrived here
from the south on the steamer City of
Sidney. When his plans failed, Flu
entes and Morales fed to Mexico, but
were ordered to leave the first halting
place, Tapachula, by President Diaz,
who feared international complications
if he allowed them to remain upon
Mexican soil. They therefore went to
the City of Mexico, whence they made
their way to the coast.
While conceding that BarriOs, his
brOther-in-law is master of the situa-
ton in Guatemala, FUentes says that
the feeling of the rebellion is still very
strong there and he expressed the
opinion that the Barrios administration
would not last much longer. The gen
eral attributed his defeat to the fact
that his force, which was sadly in
need of proper equipment, only num-
bered about 5000, while the government
had at least 25, 900 men in the field.

HAD TO KILL 'EM.
Colorado Game Commissioner Says
it was Necess ary to Kill Indians.

Denver, Nov 9.-Game Commission
er Swan has submitted to the governor
his report on the encounter between
Game Warden Wilcox and posse and a
camp of Uintah Indians in Routt coun-
ty, October "a last. While Mr.. Swan
depIOres the taking of human life, he
believes that it was necessitated by the
exigencies of the situation.
He states that in his opinion Game
Warden WilcOx'S version of the fight
was correct and that the killing of the
Indians was unavoidable and neces-
sary. However he recommends that
in justice to all concerned there should
be the fullest possible investigation by
a committee appointed for the purpose
He also suggests that the commission

SHUT OUT OF LAKE 'FRONT.'.
State Supreme Court Rules Against
Chicago.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-The supreme court
at Springfield has affirmed the decision
of the lower court, holding that the
city of Chicago cannot erect buildings
on the lake front
The case was that of the city VS.
Montgomery. Ward & Co., and applies
to the territory lying between Ran
dolph street and Park Row, and Mich
igan Boulevard and the Illinois Central
tracks, known as the Lake Front park.
The decision affects the temporary
postoffice and Battery D armory. The
postoffice will be allowed to remain un-
til the completion of the new govern
ment building, but the decision will un-
doubtedly result in the tearing down of
the old armory.

SAVED BY QUICK SURGERY.
A Child That Crushed its Skull Will
Soon be All Right Again.

The year old son of VIM F'ritts, a
farmer who lives seven miles southwest
of the city, was injured on Saturday
morning, and from that time up to the
time he lost all consciousness under the
influence of anaesthesia at the hospital
yesterday his existence was a success
sion of epileptic cOnvulSionS.
Saturday morning the little boy
climbed to the top of a broad stone
fence which encloses a cattle pen on
his fathers farm, and started to enjoy
himself by running around the enclos-
ure. But a few feet from the point
where he started. he tripped on a ladge
of stone, and fell headlOng to the
ground. The back of his head struck
on a stone, and a few minutes after
ward his mother found him rolling on
the ground in an eyileptic CONFUSION
A physician was called from Topeka
and on examination it was found that
the skull had been pressed in on the
base of the brain by the fall. The in
jury was. not of such a nature as to
prove fatal, but without an operation
it would have left the child con-
firmed epileptic for life
At the hospital the indented bone
was raised from the brain, and now the
child will feel no effects from the in

LODGEROOM CAVERN.
Masons in Arizona Have a Remark
able Retreat.

Phoenix, Ariz., Nov. 9.-The Masonic
Grand Lodge of this state cOnVenes on
Wednesday in a cavern at Bisbee, an
unrOmantic mining town set in a gorge
of the Mule mountains.
The sessions will be held not in a dis
NAL quarry, roughly strewn with the
products of the chiseI and mallet, but
in a temple of SURPRISING beauty, a di-
rect gift from Supreme Master Viii
liams, unmarried by touch of human
Workmen.
Large it is as the largest lodge room,
with fluted and frescoed rooms, with
WOndrOus columns and pillars, such as
mortal could never hew; the walls the
spotIess white of purity, with here and
there a stripe of blue of truth.
At the masters right hand nature has
placed a pedestal of creamy white, that
will ring like a bell under the gaveL
On either side the dais are snowy cur
tains of purest lime, through which the
lights will shine, only mellOWed by the
barrier.
Though the lodge room is 300 feet
below the surface, yet it will be reached
from below, and well guarded may it
be, for the approach for rods is by a
narrow tunnel. Then the way leads up
a short shaft and through portal bro
ken in the cavern's side.

A FINANCIAL CRISIS.

Business is ParaIyzed.

Caracas, Venezuela, Nov. "a severe
financial crisis exists in Venezuela. The
payment of the coupons of the German
loan has been postponed. The pensions

per cent. In fact, nobody has been paid
and the banks refuse to discount or ad-
vance money. The Carenero Railroad

Everyone is awaiting the arrival of Gen
eraI Ignacio Andrade, who has just been
elected president in succession to Crespo,
believing or hoping that the new presi-

Holding little Leon by the hand, they
strolled quietly along under the trees.
Presently they came to one of the
many merry-go-rounds which are to

were looking on.
Here little Leon clamored for ride,
and Sutherland placed him on one Of
the horses. AS he rode round and

Sutherland thought to himself:

When the ride was done and the

seemed to have forgotten al her trou-

Close to the Madeleine they parted,
