DYNAMITE DICK KILLED.
He Said He Preferred to Die With His
 Boots On and He Did.

Wichita, Kan, Nov. 15.-Charles Clifton, alias Dynamite Dick, the mo- torious outlaw, was killed yesterday at the house of Sid Williams, fifteen miles west of Checotalh, Indian Ter ritory, by deputy marshals. They had been on his trail for three weeks and had chased him all over the Cherokee Nation, but his knowledge of the country enabled him to e.ude them Yesterday they learned that he was at the home of Williams and the house was surrounded.
 Clifton refused to surrender and said he preferred to die with his boots on. He opened fire on the at kackiug party, but as Williams and his family were in the house they did not fire until the outlaw expos d himself
 Several of the deputies were wound ed by bullets from Clifton's gun, and the outlaw stepped to the door so that he could do better execution. He re- ceived a volley of bullets and fell for ward mortally wounded. The depu- ties carried the body to Checotah, where it was positively identified.
 Clifton had been the terror of the Indian country for several years, be- ing the head of one of the boldest oJtefw gangs that operated in that wild country. He got the name of Dynamite Dick because he used to bore hores in his cartridges and fill them with dynamite, which would explode with deadly effect after strik- ing a solid substance. He was inn plicated in numerous bank and ex- press robberies.

 Tossed Over the Ships Side.

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-The record of the captain of the schooner Lucille from Seattle never reached the Mer- chants exchange, because a greedy seagul mistook the papers for food and swallowed them. It is cus- tOmary when vessel enters the har- ibor for the captain to deliver to the Merchants exchange messenger in small boat condensed account of his voyage. As the day was fine the mes senger called out to the captain of the Lucille to throw his papers over board.
 As the man reached to catch them a seagull swooped down and grabbed the package in its beak. It was pur- sued by score of gulls, one of which seized the package and bolted it. Then all flew screaming away, and the messenger returned without his news.

Kingston, Jamaica, Nov. 15.-Th2 dispatches concerning i,he outbreak of yellow fever in this island have givsn rise to considerable comment here.
 The heavy rains, which, it was thought, would have check5d the dis ease, seem to have stirred it into re- newed virulence. Many new cases have occurred within the past few days, and, unfortunately, in almost every case with a fatal termina ion A panic has taken hold of tiha peo- pie, and the fact that, cont. ary to exempt from the disease has filled the colored population with the wild est alarm. In many cases business has been abandoned altogether, and the proprietors of stores have closed them and fled to the hills.
 At Port Royal ,the naval station, the disease has claimed many victims within the, past week. Among them have been Staff Commander w. J. Thomas, R. N, in command Of fine guardship Urgent, stationed in the harbor, and Lieutenant G. A. Duffey, First West India regiment Com mander Thompson's term of service had expired and he was to have left for England by the last Royal Mail steamship, but he took khe fever and died two days after the departure of the packet. H1is successor, Staff Com mander MoultOn, who arrived on Fri day last to assume the command, be- came i'll the day succeeding his ar rival, and his recovery is deemed hopeless. Major G. A. Smith, R. A., in chief command of the artillery forces here, has also been attacked and his recovery is doubtful. Owing to the grave character of the out break at Port Royal 1t has been found necessary to remove the troops stationed there to Newcastle, the military cantonmenE lia the hills.
 New cases are occurring daily at Port Royal and the death rate is very high. In Kingston several of the clerks of the Colonial bank have been attacked. In the meantime the dead lock betweem the city council and Eihe central board of heahth still con- tinues and not a single effort has been made on behalf of the authori- ties to stem the tide of the disease

Lamp Explosions.

The London Lancet has deemed the
subject OF lamp explosions of sufficient
Importance to deserve the attention of
the authorities, and there are some
hints as to the kind and care OF lnmps
that are worthy OF attention. At the
same time, it is remarkable fact that
while lamp accidents are frequent,
there are comparatively few fatalities
resulting therefrom. It is also stated
that the quality Of the lamps is very
much inferior to the quality of the oil.
Indeed, it seems to matter but little
what the lamp Is or how imperfectlY it
isconstructed. .Itis o lamp, and il it
is cheap one, every other considera.
ticn is lost sight Of. Lamps may be
bought for twenty-five cents, and are
taken into the houses of the pur.
chasers, and filled and lighted with no
concern whatever as to their safety, if,
indeed, that subject is ever thought Of.
It would be an excellent idea if there
could be some official inspection Of
lamps, and, il possible, an oversight
of the oil supplied 10 families. Were
this done, many lives and much prop.
erty might be saved.

BIGGEST GRAVE MONUMENT.

Daniel Moriarity, retired New Or

County, California, is happy man at

ing all the quarries and cemeteries in
the United States. he has found peo.
pie willing to fulfill the desire Of his

the largest graveyard monument in the
country, and probably the largest in
the world. 1t will weigh 100000 lbs,
and when everything has been paid for
it will have cost over $4,000.
The monument is not for himself.
however. 1t is to be erected in honor
of his first wife, to whom he says his
present affiuence is due, and after her,
in honor Of his father, Joseph Moriari-
ty, who died in New Orleans in 1853.
His first wife has been dead eighteen
years, and Mr.. Moriarity has taken
unto himself another and moved to the
Pacific coast. He came to America
when boy, and got into the grocery
business. His boss was a widow, Mary
Farrell by name, who fell in love with
him and took him into partnership for
better or worse and the success of the
grocery business.

Morarity gave Herself up to domestic
duties and died. Daniel grew richer
and richer, but in the days of his pros
perity he remembered the cause there
of, and with the aid of Mrs. Moriarity
No. 2 he determined upon a fitting me-
mortal. When the plan was all worked
out, 1t was found that the memorial
would be large enough to stand for his
father, too.
Here are the parts and their dimen-
sons: On q foundation Of fifty-foot
piles there rests concrete block thir-
ty feet square and six feet deep. Next
comes four slabs, two of them 3OxS
1-2x1 and the other two 13xS 1-2x1.
These will be laid so as to form a
square 13x13, which will be filled with
concrete. Then comes the base stone,
l4x14x3, weighing about fifty tons.
Next are two courses of granite about
twenty tons each, which support the
die stone, eight feet high by six feet in
diameter, panneled on four sides, at
the Joining Of which will be granite
columns with Corlnthian capitals. Up
on each column will be statue carved
in Wesley granite-Faith, Hope, Chari-
ty, Temperance.
Then comes the great shaft Of Barre
granite, four feet at the base and ta-
pering to two feet. This will be sur
mounted by a simple granite cross,
making the total height Of the monu-
ment seventy feet.
The lot on which it will stand faces

A Strange Power.

1t is a curious thing, the power
which some human beings have over
animals. There is in Lowell o boy,
differing in no respect from his com
paniona, who has the power in marked
degree. Every etray dog or cat in the
nelghborhood knows him and loves to
be his companion. A vicious horse,
which the stabiemen can with difficulty
handle, will stand like lamb while he
harnesses and unharnesses him. The
doves fly around him and in the woods
the wild birds apparently regard him
as friend and ally.
The most remarkable exhibition of
his power, which has long been known
and commented on by his friends, was
given the other day. A large and
vicious rat was captured in the stable
in one of those traps which permit of
easy ingress and no egress. The men
who were looking at the animal were
were afraid to 60 near the trap, the
animal showed such terror, but tho
boy, when he beheld the imprisoned
creature. fearlessly put out his finger,
stroked its head, the rat manifesting
as much pleasure as would g cat or a
dog. Several days have passed since
then, but the stablemen are still afraid
OF their capture, but he has grown SO
tame and familiar with the boy as to
allow him to take him out and put him
IN the trap, WILL come at his whistle
and manilests every appearance Of Joy
at his presence, There seems to be no
question that the boy could train that
rat to perform almost any feat within
the power OF such an animal. Lowell
