the outside went to work to try to put
out the fire and save the men. One
Englishman named Richardson, an ex.

of the rescue operations, but persisted
from sutfocation. All the Mexicans
died from the same cause, or from
burning. The bodies have not yet been
recovered. The affair caused great
excitement, as it is one of the worst
accidents in the history of Pachuca.

The Nicaragua Canal.

Washington, Jan. 4.-One Of the
main objects of the formation of a new
Greater Republic of Central America
is said to be the completion of the Mic
aragua canal. Senior Rodriguez, re-
Gently recognized as the diplomatic
representative of the new country in
the United States, is said to be charged
with the duty of interesting this gov
e1 ment in the enterprise.
This aid to the project comes at a
time when it is needed. The support
ers of the measure ON both sides at the
capital have hopes that the great peti.
iton sent to Speaker Reed, asking that
time be given for discussion of the bill
after the funding measu is disposed
of, will be needed, and at least two
days so allowed.
There are enough friends of the plan
on the senate side to bring it up if
there is any hope of getting in a few
hours while the funding debate is on
in the upper house.

CLOSING UP THE OLD YEAR.
Triple Murder in an Atlanta
Boarding House.
THE ACT OF AN INSANE MAN

Guests Were at Dinner When One
of the Boarders Concluded That
All Must Go-TwO Badly Hur'.
Atlanta, Ga, Jan. A triple MUIR
der was committed New Years eve in
a clearinghouse kept by Mr.. and Mrs.
G. W. Allen, at Poplar Springs, a sub
urb of this city.
Just as the inmates of the house were
sitting down at the supper table, Theo'
dore Flanagan, a boarder, entered the
dining.room, smiling and greeting the
guests with Good evening, my
friends" He added: 1.-THE old year
is going, and l think all of us would
be better If we were done with it"
He then whipped out a revolver and
shouted: prepare to meet your God
tonight"
Without further warning, he fired
into the affrighted people. The first
bullet went crashing through the brain
of Mrs. Allen, an old lady of 65. She
fell to the floor dead, without a word.
Il. w. Allen, aged 10, was the next
victim to fall. The next bullet killed
Miss Ruth Slack, the 1S-year.old
daughter of Colonel Slack, of Green's
boro, Ga, who had arrived at the
house on a visit. Other boarders ran
out into the street to seek safety, two
of them badly wounded by the flying
bullets. Flanagan is now in Jail,
having narrowly escaped lynching. He
feigns drunkenness, but the testimony
of all who were present was that the
man was perfectly sober when the
shooting occurred.

MOTION.
The Clever Device o n Minnesota
INVENTOR.


INVENTOR.
st. Paul, Jan. Al. q. Kaller, of
Mankato, Mimi, has applied for a
patent for an invention which he says
will take the place of steam engines
and electric motors.
The device is called a hydraulic
motor, and the principle upon which it
works is the natural one which causes
lighter substances than water to raise
to the surface. An endless chain of
small alright tanks is placed over two
sprocket wheels in such a manner that
on n side it will pass upward
through a large tank of water.
AS each air tank enters the water
tank from below through a water-tight
valve, it will be forced to the surface
by the superior weight of the water and
in this way the chain will be in per-
petual motion, revolving the sprocket
wheels to which shafts are attached.
Thus, if the claims of the inventor
are true, the motor will run on indef-
nitely without feul. He claims that
the first cost will be less than of a steam
engine, while the operating expenses
will be so small that all other motive
powers will be driven out of use.
Hydraulic motors to furnish any
horsepower required can be con.
structed.

st. Louis, Jan. 4.-Jospeh B. Nc
Cullagh, editor of the st. Louis Globe

as the result of a fall of twenty-five
feet from a second-stOry window of his
apartments at the residence of his sis.

There seems to be a difference of
opinion as to whether Mr.. McUullagh's
death was due to an accident or was
the result of his own act. The latter
story is secuted by the dead mans
friends. The body, which was cold in
death and clad only in a nightgown,

servant, without touching the body,

A SALOON RIOT.
Two Policemen Nearly Killed While
Doing Their Duty.

Two Policemen Nearly hilIeu hhIie
Doing Their Duty.
Grand Rapids, Jan. 1.-Two po-
licemen were pounded half to death by
a crowd today, and two of their assall.
ants were shot. The trouble was the
result OF a crusade, which the police
have been waging against saloon
keepers, who have been violating the
law.
Today Patrolmen Viergiyer and Har-
rington found the saloon of Sommers
& Treadwell doing a thriving backdoor
business. As the officers entered the
air was filed with clubs, bottles and
glasses. Officer Viergiver was struck
on the head and felled with a club.
He was drawing his revolver as he fell,
and as he fell he pulled the trigger.
Several shots were fired from the
crowd and Harrington managed to get
his revolver out and pulled it upon
Treadwell, who was pounding him ON
the head with a bottle. The next mo-
ment Harrington went to the floor. A
great crowd had gathered in front of
the saloon, and the excitement was in
tense. One officer outside guarded the
door and sent for the patrol wagon. A
squad of eighteen policemen responded.
with orders to arrest every one in the
place, but most of the crowd had man
aged to slip away.
Officer Viergive had an arm broken
in two places, a finger broken, his nose
dislocated and an awful cash across the
scalp. His injuries are not necessarily
fatal. Officer Harrington was cut
with broken glass. He has a severe
scalp wound and serious bodily in
juries. Treadwell was shot in the
right lung. An examination late to-
night showed that he is suffering severe
he%morrhages. He is not likely to re.
cover.

THE BLIND SAW.


An "X" Ray Penetrated sightless Eyes
in New York.
New York, Jan. 1.-The Herald
says: The tx" ray has given a glim-
mer of light to eyes that had been
sightless for ten years. The subject of
the test was John F. Martin, who is
submitting to experiments as a substi-
tute for Charles Broadway Rouss.
Martin has submitted to a series of
tests, perhaps half a hundred.
Two attendants took him to the office
of DR.. David A Edison. The blind
man, though he has grown accustomed
to experiments, was vislbly nervous.
He was placed in front of the electric
apparatus, the Horoscope was placed
at his eyes and the tx" ray turned on.
There was an instant of the swapping
of the current, then absolute stiffness,
as all in the room watched the face of
the man in front of the electric glare.
At length DR.. Edison said, "Do you
see anything?'
"No," answer ed Martin,
His lips had scarcely framed the re.
ply when there rang from him, 81 can
see-l can see light" and the Joy in
the tone moved all who heard it. DR..
Edison at that turned off the ray.
Martin vas deeply moved by the
CLEAN which had penetrated his long
darkness and he was led to a seat to
compose himself before the experiment
was continued.
DR.. Edison questioned him about the
effect of the ray, but the blind man
only repeated that he had seen light.
Again the Horoscope was placed be.
fore him. This time he received the
impression of light more quickly, an6
when he had reveled in it for a moment
a piece OF metal was passed in front of
the Horoscope. Martin detected the
movement instantly.

is like the sun going behind a cloud"
Enough had been done for a day, and
the man, rejoicing in even this little
relief that had come to his years of
blackness, was led from the Office.

His Faith Cure Doctrines Opposed by

His Faith Cure Doctrines Opposed by
His Congregation.
Monmouth, Ill. Jan. AT a meet
ing of the Monmouth presbytery of the
United Presbyterian church, Rev. j. &.
Stewart, OF this city, was deposed from
the ministry and also from church
membership. Owing to the peculiar
features in connection with this case,
much interest has been manifested in
church circles as to its final disposition.
About two years ago Mr.. Stewart was
a prominent divine of the United Pres
byterian faith, doing service as an
evangelist. Suddenly he espoused the
cause of faith cure, healing through
prayer. The church reprimanded and
admonished in vain. Several trials en-
sued, resulting in his suspension from
the ministry. Last fall he made appli-
cation before the Illinois synod for re.
instatement. That body referred the
case back to the Monmouth ~presbytery,
which was unanimous for expulsion.
For the past year Stewart has been
engaged in the formation of what is
known as the Full Bible church, which
advocates his peculiar doctrine. He
has organized a church at st. Louis and
one in this city. He has also sent out
several missionaries.

liams, aged 80. and Mrs. Jane Mayes.
aged 81, living north of this place,
were arrested today, charged with the
outrage and murder of Anna Belle
Williams, the 12.year.old girl whose
body was found Wednesday near En-.
dora. The body bears evidence of a
dreadful assault on its person. The
nnger marks ON the neck and BODY
shows that the murderous fiend who
committed the assault covered up his
foul work in sealing her lips with
death by strangulation. Williams is
the father of the girl and accuses the
Mayes woman of the deed. The pair
agreed to take the girl to Kansas CITY.
in order to have her placed on a Door
farm. the woman to accompany the
girl. She says that when they reached
Eudora she became sick, and a strange
mar offered to take care of the girl.
That is the last she saw of Belle. The
pair are in Jail, and the officers expect
to prove a deliberate scheme to make
away with the girl.
