Mr.. Milliken bad been suffering from the
effects OF an attack OF grip very nearly a
month, and his throat and lungs had been
very sensitive. On last Tuesday he caught
another cold, and pneumonia, with some
congestion of the lungs, had resulted.
There was the complication of serious
kidney and liver troubles in his case. His
breathing had been very labored; be had
been losing siren 9Th, and his mind la been
slightly affected at intervals all the time
since Tuesday. His physician had been DR.
Morris Smith, and he had been in consulta-
ton with him on the case Drs. Young and
Johnson. After their consultation on Sat
day the physicians had nearly given up
hope. 1t was thought for time yesterday
that Mr.. Milliken was rallying. Oxygen
was administered, and at first it seemed
to have most beneficial effect. Toward
evening, however. it could be seen that he
was sinking very rapidly.
The body of Mr.. Milliken will be con-
veyed to Belfast, Me. Short services will
be held at his home, No. 1870 street, to-
morrow afternoon at O'Clock, probably
by the chaplain of the House, and the
body will be accompanied by the family
and the Congressional delegation on the
Road. They will reach Belfast on We'd
nesday and services will be held on Thurs
day. The Congressional delegation con-
ssts of Congressman BouteIle, HiIborn,
Bankhead, Tate, Hicks, Sherman, Skin
ner, Stevens, Vandiver and Weymouth
The Senatorial committee has not been
appointed
During the forenoon today Senator Frye
and Mrs. Frye, Senator Hale. Mr.. Dingley,
Mr.. Hilborn and many other friends have
called to express their coincidence with the
family.
Representative Millken was born at
Montyille, Waldo. county, Me, and is
about sixty-five years old. He was edU-
Gated at Union College, N Y, and is
lawyer by profession.
Mr.. Milliken was very popular ma in
his district and State. He was personally
acquainted with very nearly everybody,
and universally liked for his good friend

IMMERSED IN ICY WATERS.
Four Score CoIored Converts Bap-
tized in the Chilly Allegheny.

Pittsburg, Pa, April IL. Two by two
in the early morning yesterday seventy
seven colored converts marched to the shore
Of the Allegheny River, and, entering
the icy waters, emerged members of the
Shiloh Baptist Church. The converts
were clothed in white rairnent, preceded
by the pastor, Rev. Samuel Smith, and
followed by the choir and congregation
At 3: 80 a m, the converts and members
gathered at the church. After preliminary
exercises the march to the liver, mile
away, was taken up. At the shore thou
sands of persons were gathered, and
bridge across the river at that point bent
beneath it's load of spectators While
the choir and congregation sang, the pas
tor, assisted by two stalwart elders, began
the work of immersion.
The majority of the converts submitted
heroically to the ordeal, and came out
chilly, but full OF spiritual ordor and praise,
but two or three became nervous.
After the baptism the converts marched
back to the church in their wet robes,
where the services were concluded None
Of the converts appeared any the worse
for their plunge into the river.

ed of Visiting Cuba.

age, fairly well dressed, registered at the
Brunswick House, Cumberland, as Charles
Clark Chicago He paid for his meals and
lodging in advance and did not state his
business. He was sober and rather an
entertaining converse tonalist-
On the following Thursday he told the
hotel clerk that he would take stroll to

clan, who was to have accompanied him to

young girl There were five wounds on the
left side OF the body Three were flesh
wounds and two penetrations, one imme-
diatefy over the heartinto the ieftlung and
the other in the chest cavity.
IL Is supposed he unloCsed his coat and
vest and lifted up his shirt aud undershirt
to inflict the wounds, as his coat and vest
were care fully buttoned when he was found
and there were no cuts in any of his gar
ments. The wounds were probably inflicted
with short penknife with wide blade,
which could not be found He purpOseiy re-
moved all means OF Identification.
1t is thought he stabbed himself and bhen
tried to reach house short distance
away to die, but fell from exhaustion be-
fore he had gone far.
He wore dark, ready-made suit. cloth
top boots and black sloueh hat, and was
nearly six feet tall He had a short gray
beard Some think he was victim of
foul play, but the general impression is
that he committed suicide. An effort is
being made to discover his relatives.

LIBERAL TERMS FOR A FIGHT
The ex-Champion Determined to
Bring on Another Battle With the
Pugilist First if Neeessary-Brad
Hints at kaleidoscope Sensation.

New York, April 19.-James j. Corbett,
the former worlds champion pugilist. ar
arrivedfrom Philadelphia atnoon yesterday
He was met a I the depot by Manager Will
lam A Brady, Kid Mccoy, and few
other of ms faithful frien Corbett looks
remarkably well, and says that he does
not feel any in-efrects from his recent
fight lie says he was greatly disappointed
at the result OF the Carson city tight

world, but he must meet me again. l have
So, 900 that / want To deposit with any
reputable stakeholder that can stop Fitz

entire purse If l don't stop him in ten
rounds, and l will promise not to annoy
him again with any proposition for tight
I know i can beat him, and he must give
me another fight Mymanager and friends
desired TO make protests many times as to
the fairness of the last fight, but | stop
ped them all, as 1 thought had been fairly
and squarely defeated. IL l wasn't fairly
licked, or i f there was a foul blow delivered,
the pictures taken Of the fight will tell the
story TO the public"
Corbett further said that he fought FitZ-
simmons according to has own ideas He
thought il was best to stave him off with
jabs, and heavy counters. He does not
blame anyone for his defeat, but he is sure
that he lost the championship without being
knocked clean out. He says it is likely
that he will be compelled 70 meet some other
pugiiist if Fitzsimmons is serious in the
intention TO ignore him.
Manager Brady said that he had spent
several hours in carefully examining with
a magnifying glass the series of pictures
and said: THE rumors and fnsinuations
that have teen made as to the delivery OF
foul blows viii be verified or denied when
the pictures OF the fight are thrown upon
the screen before New York audience
Ny Brady refused to say anything more.
His manner and expression of his face gave
evidence that there is a story, and a new
story, Of the Carson City battle that the
public will soon hear.
Bob FitZsimmOns didnot leave for Phila-
delphia yesterday as was expected, but
started this morning. FitZsimmons, when
apprsed OF the fact that jim Corbett was
in town. simply shrugged his shoulders
and said, Huh" FitZsmmons enter

HEARING FOR sPALDING.
Case Set for Saturday-New DeveI.
Opments Looked For.

Chicago, April 19.-JUdge Dunno has SET
the Spalding case for hearing next Satur-
day morning The attorneys representing
the university trustees applied to Judge
Tuley today for an order requiring the re-
ceiver Of the Globe Savings Bank to turn
over to the trustees all the personal Sc
curities which had been pledged to them
by Spalding.
1t Is expected that a new scandal WILDE
developed when all is told concerning ths
safety boxes in the Globe vaults 1t was
only by accident that Receiver Leman
learned Of the property which Spalding
had assigned to Miss ErAn, the deeds to
which had been seereted in a dress-sUit
box in the deposit vaults. It was when
closely questioned by the receiver as To
what she paid for certain property, the
deed to which was in her name, that Miss
Erwin weakened and signed it over to the
receiver.

Dumping Mcmahon Says His Arm
Is as Good as Ever.

Is as Good as Ever.
Baltimore, April 19-John Mcmahon,
once Baitimore's greatest pitcher, at which
time he was without a superior, is no
longer an Oriole. On Saturday he was
promised his uncond itionaI release by
Manager Hanlon upon the payment of his
training expenses in the South His formal
release will be sent him when Mr. Hanlon
receives the money to cover expenses
On Friday Mcmahon was rendered a DO
sition on the Louisville Club by President
Pulliam, who offered to buy his release
But Mcmahon thought he could do better
by getting his unconditional release, and
Manager HaDlou let him have his way
He said before leaving for his home in
Wilmington, Del, that he had good posi-
ton offered him on League team, and
would probably accept.
Capt. Robinson said last night that he
understood from Mcmahon that he had had
limitations from both New York and Bos-
ton that either club would like to secure
his services. He said also that Mcmahon
considered President PUlliam's tender of
$4,000 to go to Louisville a standing
offer. President Pulliam, however, stated
Il
offer had been withdrawn
MCMa hon came to Baltimorein $50 Man
ager Barnie securing the release of the A tn
letics' star battery Mcmahon and Robinson
He remained Baltimore's winning pitcher
until his arm gave out, in August, 1894 His
great work that year, when he was almost
the sole relian of the Orioles in the box,
will always be gratefully remembered by
Baltimore rooters. 1t was appreciated by
the Baltimore management, too, who al
lowed Mcmahon to lie off for whole year
at a big salary and raised his salary last
year.
He showed great form In the fall of S95
for few games. Last season his w ork for
the most part was first class, but he was
very unlucky, and was not in good pitching
condition large part OF the time. He ex-
hibited better physical condition in the
South this spring than for years and better
form at the bat.
Mcmahon says his armis all right, and he
seems confident OF his ability opitch win
ming ball, but he has not let himself out
enough to demonstrate it
