LATEST PHASE OF RELIGION.
Fanatic nj Upper Sanduslxy Says He

Fanatic nj Upper Sandusky Says He
II q Descendant of Christ.
An odd religious fanatic appeared in
Upper Sandusky, O., the other night
and delivered singular sermon on the
public square. He claims to be de-
scendant of Christ, the intelligence hav.
ing been impaired to him in dream a
few years ago. The doctrine that he
proclaims is that of electrical Chris.
tianity. He asserts that all Of the mir
acles of Biblical times were performed
through the agency of electricity, and
that the Saviour's endowment was a
pronounced electrical nature. He says
he was born at the same hour as the
birth of Christ and has special gift OF
hearing two distinct sounds at once.
At will he can hold communication with
the power above, and TO substantiate his
claim of electrical power he alleges that
within his head continual rumbling
can be heard, like that of the electric
motors in operation. In other words
he is a sort of double telephone. He
was born Christmas eve, 1850, and his
name is George Washington Wilson. He
says he has no home, but is travelling
the world over, preaching for electrical
Christianity. He positively asserts that
within two years he will be empowered
to cure diseases.

trouble. In an open space two bull ele-
plants were fighting. One of them was
q leader of the herd, the other an old
warrior bull tramp who had lost tusk.
"Tt is the rogue Ilunga,' whispered
Keema, and he will kill the other
beauty-no use to try to stop him.
"The hunters watched for a chance
to fire as the brutes drew back a little
and sprang together with lowered heads
and big ears outspread, the skulls COM
ing together with stunning force. On
recovering they came together again,
rising on their hind legs and striking
down with their tusks as with sword,
shrieking with rage, and using their
trunks like whip ashes. The men
came from the tree and drew near to
the fight through the bushes.
"'Shoot the leader said Keema. Tt
is no use to try for the other
"Then 1t dawned on Robard that the
savage deemed the wanderer an evil
spirit not to be tried for, since 1t pos
sessed magic powers. The man came
into sight of the leader of the herd be
hind Iunga, as the native called him
and the beast drew back startled at the
sight of a deadlier enemy than the wan.
dering bull. The shrinking of the lead
er gave the tramp a chance, and like a
fencer he gave sharp thrust with his
tusk. The leader staggered, but shot
behind IIunga's ear killed the other ele-
phant. The leader rushed forward as

Keema was Just behind the elephant,

LEAVENW ROTH SHAKEN
ANARCHIST ATTEMPTS TO KILL UN-
sUsPEOTIEG VICTIMS.
Explosion Of Dynamite Felt Three Miles
Away-Luckily Futile-A Tough
Veteran Implicated.

Leavenworth, Kas., June ia dia-
bolical attempt was made upon the
life of Governor Andrew ]. Smith, Of
the National Soldiers home and on the
lives of his wife and daughter, between
four and five o'clock this morning. by
some bastard unknown. Dynamite
was employed in the outrage, and the
explosion, which all but demolished the
governors residence, aroused the resi-
dents of the city and shook house, as
if an earthquake had occurred. Mrs.
Smith had a miraculous escape from
death, the base of the explosion being
directly beneath her bed chamber. Be-
side being cut and bruised by broken
glass ard pieces OF tiyins b-ic-a-brac
and furniture she Wa 4.4s .eteiy pros
trated by the frightfu shock and is
now in a precarious condition. Gov
ernor Smith, and his daughter, Miss
Daisy, occupied rooms on the second
floor and were far enough removed
from the explosion to escape the Sc
rious consequences suffered by Mrs.
Smith. The report of the explosion
was UlStluCtly nedrQ III lnlS city, luTee
miles, away and many residents were
aroused by the shock, which was not
unlike the trembling peculiar to an
earthquake. Veterans in the oar
racks were thrown from their cots and
a panic was with difficulty prevented.
Governor Smith attributes the at
tempt on his life and that of his fami-
ly as a direct result of the persecution
that has been waged against him dur
ing the past five or six years. Veter-
ans at the Home are standing by him
manfully and swear they will lynch
the wretch if caught.
Joseph w. oliver, a dishonorabIy
discharged veteran, has been arrested
by the police of this city. Circum-
stantial evidence against him is strong.
He had just come to his room after be-
ing out all night. His clothes were
bedraggled and he said he was sorry
the explosion had not killed the gov
ernor as he deserved such a fate. OIL
yer bears a rough reputation.

A SURE ENOUGH FIGHT.
British Soldiers Attacked by Native
Indians and Massacred.

Bombay, India, June 11,-Advices re-
csived from Simla the residence of the
Indian government officials during the
heated periods of the year, announce
that serious trouble has occurred on
the northern frontier and the massacre
of number of British officers and ma
tives soldiers in the government en-
ploy.> From particulars obtained at
present, it seems that two guns be-
longing to the Bombay mounted bat
terry, escorted by 800 men, belonging to
the First regiment of Sikhas and the
First Punjab infantry were treacher-
ously attacked in Tochi valley by a
large force of hostile natives. The first
reports said that Col Bunney, two off,
GERS and twenty-five privates had been
killed and three officers and twenty
five men wounded.
Indications now, however, are that
the affair was no more than a conflict
with the warlike natives and that the
notorious Mullah of Powindaat is at
the bottom of the trouble. Latest ad-
vices say that all the British officers
were severely wounded. Captain
Browne and Lieut.. Crooks Rank, of the
Royal artillery, were killed and Sur
geon Higginson, Of the First Sikhas
and Lieut.. Seaton Browne, of the Pun
jab infantry were wounded. A second
dispatch does not mention the death
of Col. Bunney, but from the fact
that it says Col Gay, from Miranshah,
has taken command of the British
forces, engaged, it is inferred that Col.
Bunney was also among the dead as
at first announced.

Recently her brother died In California
and left her big fortune, which she
purposes to spend In the amelioration
Of the sufferings of her fellow-affiicted
kind. Miss Holmes lives In quiet and
pretty street in Jersey City, and for 25
years she has struggled through de-
cent poverty. Her brother in Califor-
Iia has always looked after her wants,
but Miss Holmes pride would not al
low him to support her, and she has
earned her own living well through the
years of her solitude. Early in life
she conceived love for music, and al
though deprived of her sight she man
aged to master that difficult art. Once
that she became proficient she desired
to teach. And, strange to say, she was
quite as proficient as teacher as she
was as a performer. She found she
could succeed with pupils who had their
eyes as well as with pupils who had not.
And in that way she supported her

rendered independent, she will devote
