The modern tendency to regard any
unusual crime as symptom of in
sanity has received q blow in Ger
many, where the perpetrator of one of
the most revolving acts Of recent years
has been declared perfectly sound and
sane by the medical experts. Johann
Bittner, the man in question, was not
only q libertine and murderer, but n
cannibal. His outbreak of primitive
savagery will undoubtedly be made to
cost him his life.

A New Orleans special snys: After
two days OF improvement and OF
promise the fever situation on the
face of the record took somewhat of a
turn Tuesday. For forty hours there
had been no deaths and Monday the
number OF new cases had shown ma
terial falling off from the dry before.
Early Tu sday morning, however,
the reports OF the new cases began TO
come into the board of health Office
with considerable Iapidity and by
o'clock there had been fifteen cases
aud by o'clock Tuesday night all
previous records Of this season had
been broken, so far rs new cases were
concerned, with prospects that others
would come.
In n few hours three deaths had
been reported to the board.
The physicians were not at loss to
explain the increase in cases. They
took practically the position explained
in the Associated Press reports and
said il might be expected that numer-
Gus cases would still continue daily to
be reported.
In discussing the situation DR.. Oil

atty IL Death.

All day Thursday the Jail at New
port, Ky, across the river from Gin
cinnati, was surrounded by mob.
Wednesday night Thomas Gleason,
q lineman living in Covington, rushed
into the Newport police station shout
ing that his wife had been abducted.
Three months ago Gleason married
Bertha Raridon, aged eighteen. They
had started Wednesday evening for
Alexandria pike, back Of Newport, to
visit friend A little later four men
rushed up. One man pointed pistol
at Gleason and ordered him to return
to Newport, while the others dragged
the woman to a hillside where eight
other men joined them and the victim
was repeatedly assaulted. She man
aged to reach the Keller residence, not
far away.
Gleason had been turned loose and
threatened with death if he returned.
Eleven suspects were arrested and
one by one identified by Mrs. Gleason.
The men are; Harry and Matt Minor,
Harry and Richard Buschmiller, John
Dudoffi, Hubert Mittler, Ed Hending,
William Schorle, John Shannon, Geo.
Greer and William Dumall.
Thursday morning crowds began to
assemble about the Jail. BY 2 o'clock
1000 men had assembled.
Gleason, the victims husband, was
called for by the crowd, desiring him
to lead them, but the police kept him
away.
Judge Helm had special jury i'm
panelled. The offense in Kentucky has
tho penalty Of death. The crowd was
informed the men would be tried at
once, but this had no effect A special
train was ordered on the Ches-
apeake and Ohio railroad and
at 3 o'clock two furniture cars
backed up and the eleven prisoners
were hustled to the depot. The crowd
followed shouting, "Lynch them"
anu NJ the uepot o,OOo people Bhtner-
ed. The crowd became more and
more demonstrative, but the train
Numbered up. The prisoners were
hurried aboard and the start was
made without any violence. They
were taken to the Maysville Jail.
En- route to Maysville dad" Minor
said he would confess everything. He
said seven Of the prisoners were inno-
cent and the rest guilty and that seye-
raj of the guilty ones had not been ar
rested.
1t developed that Covington and
Newport people devised well laid
plan to lynch the eleven men, and that
they would have carried it out had not
the prisoners been removed.
Official advices received by wire
from Maysville, Ky, are that ten
identified men arrived there safely,
aud were securely jailed. The sheriff
of Campbell county, with deputies
and several Newport policemen, are at

Spaniards Honor Weyler.

A special from Havana says: In
spite of Captain General Weyler's pro-
hibition a notable demonstration took
place in Havana Wednesday in his
honor. General Weyler made speech
in which he announced that he did not
intend to resign.
The bourse was closed, as was also
the principal stores and the tobacco
and other manufactures. All the main
streets were gayly decorated.
The various professions united at
Central park and then moved together
to the plaza in front Of the captain
generals palace, where as many as
10000 people gathered. Several bands
discoursed patriotic music. The plaza
and the tEoroughfares leading into it
were densely crowded.
A number of Populations went to
the palace, where they were received
by the captain general.
They also expressed confidence that
the Madrid government was inspired
with altogether too high designs for
the welfare of the country TO withdraw
the illustrious chief who has subiugat-
ed the instruction.
Captain General Weyler, after thank
ing the Populations for their assur-
ances, said he had accepted the COM
mand in difficult circumstances and
without conditions. The success of
the campaign could be estimated aud
properly appreciated by the country
by the visible facts.
In the course of seven months four
important provinces had been nearly
pacifed and he was confident of being
able to pacify the two remaining prov
inces at the proper time with the forty
battalions ready for the task. He said
he expected to be able to pacify Puerto
Principe and Santiago de Cuba at an
early date, "for the rebels there know
me and fear me and will not resist
me-"

MISTRIAL IN MCCULLOUGH CASE.

For Convi

For the second time mistrial was
declared Wednesday in the Mccullough
case at Jonesboro, Ga.
At $50 o'clock p. m. Judge Gambler
had the jury brought into the court
room and determined whether or not
it was possible for verdict to be
reached. Every juror ssid that ver-
dict was impossible and the Judge de-
clared q mistrial.
The jury stood seven for conviction
and five for acquittal.
A verdict was an impossibility. The
jury was divided as strongly and as
widely as the different opinions of men
could separate them. One man on
the jury swore that he would stay
there till doomsday before he would
let Mccullough hang and another
affirmed just as solemnly that he
would never let him be acquitted

shows that the movement to provide
baths and wash-house facilities, which
originated in England in 1912, has
spread widely in Great Britain and on
the continent and has not yet spent its

mostly of the shower-bath type, which
are the cheapest and most satisfactory
kind for popular use; and such baths
are recommended for this country.

rendered. In short time the entire
annex was enveloped in flames and in
less than twenty minutes from the
time the fire was seen the building
was destroyed. Nothing whatever was
saved. There. were about twenty-five

piled the fuse and the match, but for
some reason the explosive did not go
off.
The robbers were afraid to return TO

sion, they hurriedly left the place.

will DO section devoted entirely TO
books for tho blind. This is an idea
that Librarian Young has had for

in motion to bring about its early
achievement in fact. There were
many volumes in the raised-letter type
in tho old library, but, like many other
good things, they were not available
to those they were intended for. These
volumes, together with others now be-
ing purchased, will soon be placed in
IL separate section in the new library,
