SHOT BY CIDER.
Peculiar Accident That Gives a sac

Peculiar Accident That Gives a Bad
Scare.
Cases of getting half shot by ci-
der are frequent. but when a man is
shot in earnest. by bottle of the stuff
and injured so badly that he has to
have medical attendance to sew up the
wound, 1t is strange happening. That
is what happened to Michael W. Hand
lin, the well known railway mail clerk
at the Union station, a few evenings
ago Mr.. Handlin had occasion to go
into the pantry of his home and was
standing near the window, when there
was a report like that cf revolver
or gun, and ne felt Ct singing SEN
sation in the side of his Iieck and the
blood began to flow from the wound,
His first thought was that he had
been shot by somebody in the street,
ana he ran from the vicinity of the
window before the fellow with the gun
could get another pop at him. AS
he ran out Of the pantry, he cried that
he had been shot, and as the members
of his family heard The report and saw
the blood trickling from the wound
in his neck, they thought that murder
had been attempted and Immediately
there was a rumpus. Nejghbors, who
live in the same house with Mr.. Hand
lin, rushed out of doors to find the man
with the gun, and in II few minutes
the street was crowded and back yards
were being searched, but without any
discovery being made.
One of the neighbors, not knowing
how seriously Mr.. Handlir had been
WOlIndad Of ri cd for n ,1anfnT blIf he
had difficulty in finding one, During
the excitement that followed the
Shooting" one Of the neighbors went
into the pantry to investigate the mat
ter from that end and made an inter-
esting discovery. Mr.. Handlin had not
been struck by a bullet. The wound in
his neck had been made by a fragment
Of flying glass from a bottle of cider
that had been standing on one of the
shelves and had exploded. Other pieces
of the glass were found in the pantry
and the cider in the bottle had run
all over the shelves. 1t is probable
that the cider had been fermenting,
and had worked up to that point where
the bottle could not hold It, and then
there was an explosion.
The searching party was called off
the hunt for the wouldoe ASSASSIN and
quiet was once more resumed on Ledge
street. Mr.. Handlin started himself to
have his wound dressed and he went
to DR.. M. J. O'Meara's Office. While
he was in the doctors office the doctor
was summoned to the door by the
messenger who had left the house be-
fore Mr.. Handlin. The messenger said
man had been shot in the neck and
he was wanted to dress the wound
DR.. O'Meara said he could not go right
away, as he was dressing another kind
of wound in another mans neck.
BY this time Mr.. Handlin had heard
what was going on, and he came out
of the office to tell the messenger that
he was all right, and then explanations
followed.
Although Mr.. Handlin's wound is not
serious, 1t has been painful at times,
but he will get, over it all right.

THE NoRTHLANDs OF EUROPE.

DR. Gunnison has selected the above
attractive subject for his forthcoming
course of illustrated lectures, which are
soon to be announced. The lectures of
DR.. Gunnison have attracted large au-
diences, the attendance being SO large
that two years ago it was necessary to
have a duplicate course. They have
been repeated in many of the churches
of the city, and he has received more
calls for them in other places than his
duties at home would permit him to
accept.
This seasons course gives promise Of
exceptional interest. The countries
visited are not only attractive, but they
are unfamiliar, and concerning them
there is much curiosity Dr. Gunnison

er and aims to give to his lectures a
| literary quality which makes them of
value independent of his pictures In
addition to bringing back the finest col
lection of lantern slides he has ever
had, he took his own camera and was
successful in making a large number
of pictures which he will use. He Sc
cured many slides, colored by native
artists, and will be able to show nearly
all the wonders which he saw. DR.

BIS MARCK is DEAD.
The Iron Chancellor Passes Peacefully
Away to the Great Beyond.

The Iron Chancellor Passes Peacefully
Away to the Great beyond.
Berlin, Aug. Prince Bismarck died
shortly before IL p. IN. Saturday.
His death was painless and peaceful,
having occurred while the prince was
unconscious. For several hours he had
been gradually sinking.
The death of the ex-chancellor comes
as surprise to all Europe. Despite
the family's denials, there was an un-
dercurrent of apprehension when the
sinking of the prince was first an
nounced. inspired more by what the
family left unpublished than by any
information given. But when the daily
bulletins ehronicled improvements in
the princes condition, detailed his ex-
tensive bill of fare and his devotion to
his pipe, the public accepted DIR.
Schweninger's assertion that there was
no reason why Bismarck should not
reach the age of 90.
Bismarck's public career began in
1877, when he was elected to the Prus-
sian house of bourges, three years later
being elected to the German diet. His
life work was the cementing of the
empire and giving the people part in
the government of their country, which
made them more patriotic. 1t took
several years to accomplish this result.
The German empire, composed of a
number of former weak and in1Gpend-
ent states, is the fruition of Bismarck S
efforts. The progress of Germany sin re
that time has been due largely to ais
sagacity and craftsmanship. When
William IL ascended the throne the
young emperor made the old prince
understand that he was not congenial
Bismarck, therefore, resigned March
Is, 1890, and retired to private life.
He was SO years old.

London, Aug 2.-The examination
of Ernest Terah Hooley, the bankrupt
company promoter, is creating panic.
The most surprising conditions OF dis.
honesty are being brought to light. A
number of lawyers were pre- sent in be.
half of the distinguished clients who
denied Mr. Hooley's charges in connec.
tion with the payment of large sums
of money for the use OF their names,
or for introductions to people of prom

the Earl of Winchelsea, that the latter
himself suggested he ought to be given
100000 for joining the directorate OF

witness adds, said he could not take
the money personally, but remarked
that it would be given to his brother,
Mr.. Fitch Hatten. Continuing Mr..
Hooley asserted that the Earl of Win.
chelsea also received $4,000 for Joining
the directorate of horseless carriage
company.
As to the Earl Of Albemarie. Mr..

AWAITING A REPLY.
UNLESS TERMS ARE ACCEPTED
WAR WILL CONTINUE.
French Ambassador Has Power to Act
But the Agreement Must be Ratified
at Madrid-Depends on Spain
When War Shall Cease.

Washington, Aug. Persons best
informed as to the probabilities declare
that the answer of the Spanish govern
ment to the terms of peace outlined by
the government Of the United States
is not expected before Tuesday. This
opinion is based upon a knowledge OF
the time when the United States com
municatiop was received in Madrid
which is not until an early hour this
morning, the time required to decipher
it. the necessity for an extended con-
sideration of the matter by the Spanish
cabinet and also the necessity for care
fully framing the rejoiner 1t is not
meant by this statement to question in
any manner the plenipotent tiary pow
ers of Nj. Cambon, the French ambas-
sador, in dealing with the subject. On
the contrary, they are in latitude wider
than those usually conferred in such
cases. But his position is somewhat
similar to that of the president him
self, who is obliged to secure the sane
tion of the United States senate to any
treaty of peace that he may prepare,
for the ambassador must submit to
the Madrid cabinet for its approval any
agreement that he may enter into.
But in the drafting of such an agree
ment he is fully authorized to proceed
in his discretion and to guard against
any possibility of reputation of his
action he has been given the minutest
definition of the concessions that will
be made by the Spanish government
on every point that by any possibility
could be expected to arise in the course
of the negotiations.
1t was not known to our government
that NJ. Cambon had such powers when
he appeared at the White House to re-
ceive the American answer, and as
only the president was satisfied that he
was competent to deal in any author
lied manner with our government, the
production of his credentials was hailed
with satisfac ton, as tending to hasten
the reaching of an agreement without
loss in time and in the most direct
manner. Technically the United States
is now treating with Spain without
the intervention of any third power
1t may be said, also, that NJ. Cambon
is proceeding with straightforwardness
towards his object and that there is no
fear of devious diplomacy being intro
duced into the negotiations.
The progress made in the negotia-
tions has given rise in some quarters
to an expectation that hostilities are
to be suspended very soon. This will
depend entirely upon the attitude of
the Spanish government and the future
of its answer to our demands. 1t has
been made clear to the French am
bassador that hostilities will not be
suspended except upon the assurance
of full acceptance of our conditions
and he has undoubtedly informed the
Spanish cabinet it depends on Spain
when the war shall cease.
