Thorn Again on Trial.

New YORK, Nov. %. Martin Thorn,
jointly indicted with Mrs. Augusta
Mack for the murder of VIM. Guden-
suppe, was again placed on trial to-day
at Long Island City. Thorn's first trial,
which was begun two weeks ago, had
to be abandoned on account of one oil
thejurors becoming seriously i'll. About
$50 talesmen specially drawn for the
trial were in attendance to-day. Many
of them were farmers from the remote
parts of Long Island, and from their
convers alton, it was evident that they
had not read or heard much about the
Guldensuppe murder. This is regarded
as favorable for getting jury within a
reasonable time. One of the new wit
nesses is Mrs. Ida Zegler of New York.
Counsellor Howe will endeavor to show
by this witness that Mrs. Mack was
planning to murder Guldensuppe early
as last March. Thorn and Mrs. Mack
will each swear that the other killed
Guldensuppe, and it will be for the jury
to decide which is to be believed.
Judge Smith went upon the bench,
formally opened court and announced
that, owing to illness, he would not be
able to preside, but that Judge Mad
dox would sit instead, after which ad-
journment was taken until II o'clock.
At that hour Thorn was brought into
court and Judge Maddox took his place
upon the bench. The panel of jurors
was called and other formalities were
gone through with preparatory to the
ELECTION of Jury.

THE MBRDER OF TWO CHILD
REN

A mysterious and shocking tragedy
was committed at Oconomowoc, Wis,
some time Friday night, at the resi-
dence of Ernest Cornell. Two little
children-Willie Cornell, aged six
years, and Lille, aged four years
were found dead, lying on their bed
with their throats cut and Ernest Cor
nell, their father, was lying on the
floor with a cash across his throat
which extended from ear to ear. Cor
nell was able to make statement after
his throat was sewed up. He said that
q man named Lewis, who had boarded
with the family for some weeks, Friday
induced him to drink a quantity, of
whisky, and after drinking liquor he
soon lost consciousness, and knew
nothing more until he was awakened
by the clock striking at $50 Saturday
morning. Cornell also stated that his
wife and Lewis were together much of
the time, and that Friday evening he
asked his wife not to leave the house
with Lewis, but she refused and went
in spite of his entreaties. When Mrs.
Cornell entered the house Saturday
morning she expressed great surprise
at the condition of Cornell, aud later
appeared shocked when she beheld the
two children.

SAID SHE WAS A RESIDENT OF RICH

SAID SHE WAS A RESIDENT OF RICH
MoND-A handsome, apparently re-
fued, woman was arraigned in the
Myrtle Avenue Police Court, in Brook
Ign, on Saturday, charged with intoxi.
cation. She gave the name of Flor
ence Kim ball, which she afterwards
acknowledged was fictitious. She sad
she was resident of Richmond, Va,
and member of one of the oldest
families of that State. She attended
the horse show, she said, the night be-
fore, drank wine at dinner OF the Wal
dorf and then started for a friends
house in Carleton avenue, Brooklyn.
A policeman found her sitting on the
stairs of the elevated station in Brook
Ign. She wore a fne gown of rich
black satin. heavy chinchilla cape
and large hat profusely trimmed with
large feathers. On the fingers of both
hands were many fine rings, while at
her neck was a large diamond SUM-
burst.
She appeared dazed, and was not
able to answer the polceman's CUES.
tions intelligently. He took her to
the station house, where she spent the
night in the sergeant's sitting room.
When arraigned in court the woman
appeared much ashamed and hung her
head while telling her story to Judge
Worth. She said she had come North
for the sole purpose of attending the
horse show. The judge discharged
her and she departed in carriage.

GREAT R1yER UNDER GROUND

GREAT RIVER UNDER GROUND
A dispatch from Larned, Kan, says :
The excitement over the disappearance
of the station at Rczel is increasing.
Hundreds of persons have visited the
scene and many are convinced of the
wonderful freak of nature only when
they stand Ga the brink of the chasm
aud gaze down upon tho dark waters.
The school children had halt holiday
and Prof. Mayberry took his classes in
natural history, science and geology to
the ''hole."
Some contend that the earth dropped
into an immense cave; others that the
underfow of the Arkansas river, which
fer the first time in more than year is
now bank full at this point, caused the
disappearance. A plausible theory Is
that this section of Kansas is over an
immense underground river or sas.
While graphing in the hole Friday
with line, to which was attached sew
eral hooks. Mr.. Carver, station agent
OF the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
rosG, hooked and drew out blind fish.
Two others were caught in the same
way. Mr.. Carver shipped his prize to
Chancellor Snow. of the State Uniyer-
sity, and one of the others was forward
ed to the Kansas State Fish Commits
sioner.

BARCELONA, Nov. 22.-It is current
~ reported here that friends of Gen.
Weyler have advised him not to land

TO-DAY'S TELEGRAPHIC NEWS
Imnortant From Cuba.

HAVANA, via Key West, Fla, Nov.
22.-General Psndo, who started by
train from this city on Saturday last,
has. it is stated on very good authority,
been commissioned by Marshal Blanco,
the Captain General, to enter into
communication with the insurgent
leaders. With the view of arranging for
peace. It was General Pando who
brought about the release from con.
fnement of Caballero who was impris'
oned for acting as spy for the insur-
gents. General Pando furnished Cabal-
lero with considerable Gum of money
and caused him to be landed at Manzan-
lilo, where horse was placed at his
disposal. He was also furnished with
official documents empowering him to
act in behalf of the Spanish comman-
der. Caballero made his way secretly
to the Jiguani hills, where General
Rabi has his headquarters. Caballero
was instructed to offer General Rabi q
high rank in the Spanish army and a
large sum of money to be distributed
among the insurgent leaders of that
part of Cuba, and in addition a large
amount of money for himself, in the
event of his succeeding in arranging
terms for peace. Although Caballero
has not returned advices which have
reached the Spanish officials indicate
that Caballero has so far been unsuc.
cessful; thst General Rabi las replied
that he believes successful ending of
the war in favor OF the insurgents is
approaching; that the Cubans with the
sid of the United States will gain their
independence, and that, therefore, he
prefers to continue fighting the Span
iards uotil the final victory is won.
liz some quarters it is believed that this
reluctance to accept the Overtures OF
General Pando is due to the fact that
the insurgents are anticipating some
strong step in their favor when the
United States Congress meets. If cur.
rent reports among the friends of the
insurgents are to be believed, the revo.
lutionary leaders hope to strike a de-
cisive blow at Spain before Congress
meets, as an encouragement to their
friends in the United States who are
urging a recognition upon the part OF
the US. government of the belligerency
of the insurgents of Cuba. General Pan.
do, although somewhat disappointed,
will, it is understood, continue his eff
forts to come to an understanding with
,, the insurgents and the military au
thorities believe the best way to do this
is to iuflict upon the enemy signal de-
feat, which General Pando hopes to
accomplish. 1t is now known that two
OF the prominent ex-insurgent leaders
have been induced to start on another
effort to induce the insurgent leaders of
Santiago de Cuba to arrange for peace
on the basis of autonomy being granted
to Cube.
1t is announced that fifteen more
armed insurgents have surrendered to
the Spanish authorities, and, it is
further stated, other insurgentt are ex.
pected to follow their example in tie
near future.

DURING the last ten days two good
Virginia daily evening one-cent news
papers have suspended publication, one
in Lynchburg, the other in Richmond.
The labor, worry and expense of a
good daily newspaper are great deal
more, and the profits, great deal less,
in small cities, than most people imsg-
inc. The same amount Of intel
telligent work, applied to any other
business, would be more remunerativ

enced in the business know this to their

learn it sooner or later. Why, even

publication, saying: San up.to-date
evening paper at cent does not pay.
Therefore, those who are publishing
evening papers at l cent are either

ONE OF the democratic members OF

that body, and that he. at least, will
take no part nor lot in any attempt 10
defeat Mr.. Hanna. He is perfectly
right. AS previously remarked, and as

the republican who could be elected in
Mr.. Hanna's place might be worse, but
certainly could be no better than that
President buyer himself. Having sold
themselves to Mr.. Hanna. the republi-

A Water Famine.

FORT SCOTT, Kans., Nov. 22.-Save
for one or two artesian wells, this city
is without water. The efforts of &c
men who for two days and nights have
been dynamiting the Marmaton river
bed for water to supply the city have
failed and last night the water com.
pany's pump house began drawing
wind and the entire city supply was
shut of. Unless water can be drawn
from the river four miles above in a
short time, many mills and factories
will be forged to shut down. The rain
fall for the past month OF two has been
too light to afford relief.
