actions caused him to be raised to the
rank of colonel. In 1872 he, in conjunc-
tion with Gen. Garcia, took Holguin.
At the time when Commander in Chief
| Agramonte ordered him to move his
forces into Puerto Principe he was
made brigadier general, and it was in
this last-named province that he dis
played such vigor in warfare that the
surname of "The Terror" was given to
him by the Spaniards. The battles of
Palo Seco and Las Guisamas were the
most important actions of this period
in which he commanded. Maxine
Gomez and his soldiers invaded the
province of Santa Clara in 1874 and
pushed their way as far as Cienfuegos;
the Spanish Gen. Jovellar was defeated
at Iona del Gibaro. When Gen. Agra
monte died Gomez became commander
m chief of the Cuban forces, having
meanwhile been promoted to the rank
of major general. When the revolution
was brought to an end by the treaty of
Zanjon in 1878 he fed to Jamaica.
When Jose MART, at the end Of 16 years,
organized another uprising in the cause
of Cuba's freedom Gen. Gomez again
came to the front. His arrival in Guam
tanamo was speedily commemorated by
the battle of Arroyo Hondo, in April,
1895. Under his able leadership battle
after battle was lost by the Spanish
army, until it was scarcely to be won
dered that Spain recalled her GLORIOUS
Campos," who, after his defeat at Co
HES, lost the confidence of his regular
soldiers. Gen. Weyler succeeded Cam
pos; he was the fourth captain general
in one year! Gen. Gomez is said to
handle the Cuban revolutionary army
in superb fashion, his men put absolute
faith in their leader and the efficiency
of his strategy and tactics is such that
he has been called Cuban Hannibal.

Slashed With A Razor BY A Jealous
Rival.
Minnie Brown, a colored servant girl
living in the rear of 400 Soledad street,
was cut severely in the arm yesterday
afternoon about 4 o'clock with a knife
or razor by a colored woman whom
she only knows by the name of Sarah.
At the hour mentioned it seems Min
ME was in her room at the above num-
Der and a colored gambler named Har
ry Washington was visiting her. Sa-
rah seems to have some claim on
Washington, as she broke open the
door on her arrival and proceeded to
carve Minnie. She had a razor and
a knife. After the attack both Wash
ington and Sarah left and the wound
ed woman was left to herself. She
bled very profusely and was only
found by her mother about an hour
as the elder woman hap
pened to call by to see her daughter.
A physician was summoned and stop
ped the flow of blood.
Thus far no affidavit has been made
before the courts in this case, though
the police are aware of the fact.

An Uneducated Boy.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 2l.-A shockhead-
ed boy of fifteen summers whose school
days have been limited to three short
years, and whose life has been passed
chiefly in little country town in Wash
ington, delivered lecture here last night
upon the different religious systems of
the world now and in the past.
Charles Anderson is the boys name.
He was born in Colusa County, in 1852,
and lived there until two months ago.
When lecturing the boys language and
manners seemed to belong TO some gray
haired old patriarch. and lots of his hear
ers pronounced the discourse a deep and
learned dissertation, and yet his conver-
sation reveals a woeful lack of education
and he can scarcely read. His friends
claim he is a medium.
Charles says he has been able to pro-
duce his condition at will, and, though
unable to foretell his subject after the
trance, he is able TO remember a little of
his discourse. but not enough to render
him any more intelligent in his every
dly life and not enough to do anybody
else any good.

Brother Married Sister.

WICHITA, Kan, January 22-- The vii
here, is stirred up over disclosures
brought to light on the occasion of the
thirty-ninth wedding anniversary of
Peter Wilson and wife a few days ago.
Their nine children and several grand
children were present, with many neigh
bors. In the company was Isaac Ashton.
foster father of Mrs. Wilson, who was en-
route TO Oklahoma, and Robert Wilson,
foster father of Peter Wilson, who lived
in a neighboring county. The men were
neighbors forty years ago, but had not
seen each other since. Their reminiscent
talk brought out the fact that in 1888 AL
exander Taylor, his wife and two chill
dren located in Richmond, Ind, having
moved there from Noble county, Ohio.
Taylor went as a volunteer to the Florida
Indian war, and died while on the expe-
dition. Mrs. Taylor died soon afterward,
leaving her children, Peter and Rachel,
six and two years old, respectively, to
the care of strangers. Isaac Ashton and
Robert Wilson had been friends of the
Taylors. Ashton adopted Rachel and
Wilson adopted Peter Taylor. Ashton
moved to Iowa soon afterward, and Will
son went to Northern Missouri. They
never spoke to the children of their ante
eedents, and they grew up to consider
they were the children of their respective
foster parents
When Peter Wilson was seventeen
years old he went to Sioux City, Iowa, to
learn the carpenters trade, and at a tenn
perance meeting he met Rachel Ashton,
who was visiting her foster aunt They
became sweethearts, and three years lat
er were married. They settled in Sum
ner county, Kan, where they have been
highly respected. They have nine chill
dren. Three children are deaf mutes and
two others are deformed. All are mar
ried except one of the deaf mutes and
two of the younger children. Peter VIII
son swooned when he heard the old
neighbor's talk, and for time he was
thought to be dead, but he was revived.
He aud his wife are almost crazed with
grief.

No Use For An Undertaken.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. 2i.-Robert
Richmond, young man from st. Louis.
was taken sick at Maria, a small town 400
miles west of here on the Southern Pacif-
ic Railroad. He grew rapidly worse and
became unconscious and his attending
physician telegraphed the patients par
ents in st. Louis that their son was dying.
The parents wired instructions for the
body to be embalmed and shipped to st
Louis. There is no embalmer and un-
dertaker nearer than San Antonio aud a
telegram was sent here for one. The
young man was still alive, but his ply
sician was positive he would be dead in
few hours.
The San Antonio undertaken arrived at
Maria next morning, and found the
young man still alive. He waited SO
hours and Richmond showed signs of i'm
provement. The undertaken left with
the coffin for San Antonio and Richmond
was brought here on the same train, ar
irving last night. The trip did him so
much good that he will leave the hospi-
tai in few days a well man.

The Greatest Monarch

Is fit subject for pity if he is troubled
with dyspepsia, while his poorest subject
who digests properly may well be envied
by prince thus afflicted. The dyspeptics
of every CLINE and nation owe debt OF
gratitude to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which rescues them from one of the most
obstinate and troublesome complaints
against which medical skill is directed
On this continent, in Europe and the
tropics, this sterling remedy is pre-emi
nently and justly popular, not only as
but also as a means ofprevent-
ing and curing malarial, rheumatic, kid
ney, bilious and nervous disorders. II
improves appetite and sleep, hastens con
valescence and the acquisition of vigor
after exhausting maladies, and counter
acts the infirmities of age. A wineglass-
ful taken before retiring has tendency
to promote tranquil, health yielding
sleep, boon much coveted by nervous
inyalids.

Death in a Love Letter.

SHAMoKIN, Jan. 2l.-Miss Helen Mus
grave, of Cameron township, found death
in letter TO her lover. While moisten-
ing the back of the envelope preparatory
to sealing it the young girls tongue was
slightly lacerated, from which she died
Sunday.
The girl had quarrel with her lover,
Herman Schultz, about two weeks ago,
and he was gone; however, she repented,
and for several days she worried over the
affair, and sat down and wrote the letter,
asking forgiveness and pleading with
him to return. 1t was in sealing this let
ter that her tongue received the lacera-
tions that caused her awful death.
Her tongue began to swell, and on the
fourth day after the letter was mailed
sharp pains racked her system Doctors
were called in, and after a careful exam
ination found that she could not recover.
The patient bore the announcement of
her fate bravely, but asked that her lover
be notified of her condition. His response
was prompt and he arrived last Saturday,
but only to find her dying. With tears
in her eyes she asked him TO kiss her,
and then they sobbed in each others
arms. Death ended her sufferings early
on Sunday morning, and she was buried
this afternoon.

This Boy Hero Nay Die.

FRANKLIN, Pa, JAN 2s.-There are i'm
Jail here four men who attempted to
commit midnight burglary at the home
of 20 year-old Jane Richardson. of Plum
Centre, this county, but were heroically
driven off by I6-year-old boy. who with
an old-fashioned shot gun successively
held the robbers at bay, although he
himself received pistol wound that may
yet prove fatal.
Len Fortune is the name of the lad.
He is an orphan, and for some time past
has lived with the aged Miss Jane Rich
ardson. whose reputed wealth-gold hid
den in trunk-made her and her lonely
burglars.
The attempted robbery occurred last
Wednesday night and the men under ar
rest, and one of whom has confess ed, are
West and Samuel Stanford, brothers, and
Silas Carnahan and Henry Strait, father
in-law and son-in-law respectively.
1t was after IL o'clock at night when
Miss Richardson was awaked by ter
rife humping on the door of her little
house. She called to the boy, Len For
tune, but before he could raise the win
dow and inquire of the rude callers what
their mission might be the front door
gave way in the face of their onslaught
and a minute later the inmates of the
house heard several men coming up
stairs. But young Fortune was not a
coward and he asked the iniruders what
business they had there. In reply a
pistol bullet imbedded itself in the cell
ing above him.
Then it was that the lad, having armed
himself with the old-fashioned shotgun.
put himself on the defensive. He fired
in the direction of the men, who by this
time had halted at the foot of the stairs.
His salute was answered by two pistol
shots from below, and one bullet struck
him in the side. Nothing daunted, how
ever, he fired the second barrel of his
gun, and moment later he had the sat
I isfaction of hearing heavy footsteps de-
parting from the yard outside.
Reloading his gun, young Fortune fled
across the fields to his nearest neighbor,
and half-hour later two young farmers,
r. NJ. Bilig and George Grave, mounted
on horses and heavily armed, started in
pursuit of the robbers. The farmers fol-
lowed four mems tracks in the snow, and
after covering nearly is miles and just at
the break of day, Bilig and Grave came
up with two men, who were almost ex-
| hausted from walking. These they made
prisoners and before a half-hour had
passed the elder of the two, who proved
to be Silas Carnahan, confessed that he
and his companion, Henry Strait, a mere
boy, were two of the four who had broken
into Miss Richardson's house the night
before. subsequently the other two were
also captured while breaking away tc
escape from their home in Oil City.
At the jail Strail confessed that it was
he who shot young Fortune.

The End Of Little Pete.

SAN Francisco. Jan. 4.-Little Pete,
the most noted Chinaman i'm San Fran
CISCO was murdered by his countrymen
in Chinatown last night. lie was sitting
in chair I'm a Chinese barber shop when
three Chinese entered and shot him, in
ficting q wound from the effects of
which he died in short time. the muir
derers were arrested.
The murder Is tao outcome Of quarrel
between two of the Chinese Six Compan-
les, and it is supposed the murderers are
Highbinders hired to do the job.
Little Pete had varied and remark
able career in San Francisco, and for
years was the most influential Chinaman
in this part of the country. Whenever
any of his eountrymen were in trouble
Little Pete was called upon to help them
out, and he achieved a reputation for
jury fixing that almost landed him in the
penitentiary. He was at the head of the
business of importing Chinese women to
this country for immoral purposes. and
waxed wealthy. Little Pete, although he
spoke English fluently, retained his
Chinese dress as matter Of policy. He
controlled many of the gambling dens in
Chinatown, and his revenues from that
source were large.
