Acting QueerIx for Some Time

LOUISVILLE, KY, Nov. 12.-John c.
Bullitt jr., of Duluth, Mimi, who COM
mitted suicide in New York city to-day,
was the son of Hon. Joshua f. Bulitt, of
Jefferson county. Kentucky 1t was learned
here tonight that for some time past Mr..
Bullitts actions had been very peculiar
The dead man was about thrty-six years
of age. He was educated at Washington
and Lee University On completing his edu-
cation he went to ST. Paul. Mimi, and en-
gagged in the practice of his profession. In
a short time he was made assistant counsel
for the Northern Pacific road at ST. Paul
and later became resident counsel for the
same road After holding this position for
some years Mr.. Bullitt resigned and went
to Duluth, where he engaged in the general
practice of law. He has resided there UP to
the time OF his death. Mr.. Bullitt was mar
ried in Duluth some years ago and left a
wife and one child. 1t was stated that
some months ago Mr.. Bullitts actions be-
came so different from what they had for
merly been that his relations came TO the
conclusion that his mind was deranged. He
gave up his law practice and engaged in
various gold-nlne speculations in Mexico,
which were thought to be of a rather wild
cat nature. Two months ago In promoting

DISGUISED AS WOMEN
MISSOURI PACIFIC PASSENGER TRAIN
STOPPED BY BANDITS.
Another HOId-Up Near the Famous
Blue Cut-Only $2.S5 Secured
by the Robbers.

KANSAS CITY, Nov. 12-The Missouri
Pacific passenger train known as the st.
Louis fast mail, which leaves Kansas City
at p. M, was held up by five masked
robbers at $3.50 o'clock tonight, at the Chi
cago & Alton crossing, just east of Inde-
pendence Mo-, and less than a mile from
the famous Blue Cut, in which three train
robberies have occurred within the past
year. Two of the robbers were disguised
women, and when the engineer saw them
swinging a lantern across the tracks, an
apparent signal of danger, he did not hesi-
tate to stop. The engine crew were imme-
diately covered with revolvers. Conductor
Dennis O'Brien and Brakeman McMichael
stepped out to see what was the matter,
and were greeted by a volley of bullets,
which at once caused the greatest cOnfu-
sion in the passenger coaches.
The conductor and brakeman were COM
PEELED to cut the express and baggage cars
from the rest of the train, and the engineer
and fireman were made to get down from
their cab. The robbers quickly Jumped
aboard and took the engine and express
car about two miles farther east, where they
stopped and compelled Express Messenger
Williams to open his car. He offered no re-
sistance, as he carried no treasure. The
robbers had evidently intended to stop the
st. Louis limited night express, which leaves
Kansas City at a later hour, and were
greatly surprised on discovering that the
cars which they had captured contained
nothing of value. In their rage they
pounced upon the express messenger and
went through his pockets but 81. IS was all
that they secured After this they quickly
left the train and disappeared in the dark
ness.
After delay of over an hour the train
was got together again and was started
on its journey. The county marshal and
his men were at the scene OF the ropnery
that the robbers were safely in Independ-
ence or Kansas City before any organized
effort was made to capture them

THE AUSTRIAN CRISIS.
New President for the DisOrderiY
Lower House of the Reichsrath.

VIENNA Nov. 12.-Dr Abrahamovics, the
first vice president of the Reichsrath, has
been elected president of that body in sue
cession to DR.. Kathrein, who resigned that
office on Oct. 26. 1t was understood that
DIR. Kathrein's resignation was due to the
fact that he was opposed to taking extreme
measures against the obstruction being
carried on by the aggressive section of the
German representatives.
DIR. Ebenhoch was mentioned on Tuesday
last as likely to be the new president OF
the lower house of the Reichsrath. 1t was
added that the latter was a man of the
most robust type and of the most deter
mined disposition. Therefore it was expects
ed that his presidency, supposing he was
elected, would be marked by repetition OF
the violent scenes which have been witt
messed in the lower house of the Austrian
Parliament for a long time past. DIR.
Abrahamovics has acted as president since
the resignation of DIR. Kathrein but he
does not appear to have been able TO quell
the uproars which have repeatedly occurred
in the house. although in mis- efforts TO do
so he has repeatedly suspended the sittings.

KEPT ALIVE SIX WEEKS.
Artificial Respiration Failed When
Her Lungs Became Congested.

ST. PAUL Mimi, Nov 12.-Miss MathIda
Anderson a young woman who has been
kept alive at the City Hospital for six weeks
by artificial respiration, died last night of
congestion of the lungs. For forty-two days
the nurses and house physicians of the hos
pital have been filing Miss Anderson's lungs
with air by artificial means, at first by
raising and lowering the arms. and, when
that became painful, by operating on the
chest BY this method. however, the lungs
were but partially filled at best, and had the
nurse stopped even for five minutes Miss
Anderson would have strangled and died:
And yet the young woman had become so
used to the manipulation that she ate and
slept almost naturally and could carry on a
conversation. The young girl was q victim
of Laudry's paralysis when received at the
hospital and when that disease was COM
plicated with congestion of the lungs it was
Impossible to save her. The case has at

LONG RESPITE FOR DURRANT.
He May Not BE Hanged Before the
BEGINNING of March.


SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 12.-In view of
the fact that the Supreme Court, which Is
now in session at Sacramento, will adjourn
on Tuesday next until the second Monday in
January, it is not considered probable that
W. H. T. Durrant, the condemned murderer
of Blanche Lamont and Minnie Williams,
will expiate the crime for which he was
sentenced to be hanged in December, 1895,
during the current year In the ordinary
course of events, abe matter cannot come
up for hearing on the points involved in
the order granting the certificates Of prob
able cause, to which Durrant owes his Sec
ond lease of life, until the middle of jan
uary. After the case has been decided an
other thirty days at least must intervene
before the remittur from tie Supreme
Court can reach the trial court and the
condemned man be resentenced for the sec
ond time. This course would not allow the
execution to take place before the latter
part of February or the beginning Of
March next. 1t is possible that the attorney
general may apply to the Supreme Court to
advance the case, but this action is un-
likely. Meantime Durrant has been re-
moved from the condemned cell and re-
turned to his old cell, No. 81 in murderers'

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Nov. 12-"Bud"
Beard a rapist, was lynched at Carrollton
last night Beard outraged the seven-year-
old daughter of Farmer Crocker, at Re-
form. A mob had been after him for
week and had followed him from place to
place in a most determined manner Beard
was finally captured and the sheriff of
Pickens county took him to Carrollton for
trial. Late yesterday afternoon a bowling
mob had the courthouse surrounded and
prevented the sheriff from carrying the
prisoner back to JAIL as the mob would
have torn the negro to pieces. The sheriff
assisted by several deputies, guarded him
in the courthouse. Meanwhile a messenger
was sent across the country to Tuscaloosa
and from that point Governor Johnston
was notified Of the situation. He at once
ordered Colonel Foster, of the Second Regi-
ment, to send troop to the scene. The
order was executed and the company
started to Carrollton last night, but did not
reach there until this morning after the
