THAT PENITENTIARY TUNNEL
All Survivors of Gen. Morgan's Raiders In

Discovered Hole in Ground.

COLUMBUS, o., Dec. 29.-All the sur
vivors of Gen. Morgan's party who es-
capped from the Ohio penitentiary dur
ing the war have been invited here to
inspect the recently discovered tunnel
through which it is claimed the raid
ers escaped, and settle for all time the
dispute as to whether Morgan
and his men escaped through the
tunnel or by the connivance of the of
ficials of the penitentiary. A carload
of dirt taken from the tunnel made
under the walls has been found in the
air duct under the cells which Nor
gan's men occupied. After the men
made their escape the hole was filled
up with loose dirt, and the clay around
this shows the exact dimensions of the
tunEcl.

TkhRIBLE TRAGEDY IN IOWA.
A Lover Shoots and Kills HIS Sweetheart,
School Teacher, and Afterwards
Commits Su eide.

CLARE, Ia, Dec. Wednesday aft
ernoOn young man came to Clare on
the mort Inbound Rock Island passenger
train, hired horse and drove out to
the school house where Miss May
Thomas teaches. He entered the
building and they conversed for some
{ me, finally walking out together. After
going down the road a short distance
the man drew revolver and shot her,
killing her almost Instantly. He then
shot himself and died a few hours
later. The young man was not known
at Clare, but it was learned that his
name is Harry Carney. He had been
keeping company with Miss Thomas,
who refused his further attentions.

the young man appeared TO show his
interested and interesting pupil.
Such amiability, however, was not at
all pleasing to John Warren, another of
the oldest, though by no means bright
est, scholars in school. Before the adj
vent of the new teacher, John had been
the recipient of an occasional smile
from the directors daughter, but Of
late the young lady had apparently for
gotten the young man in her deep alb
sorption in algebra and history.
1t was this unfortunate condition,
speaking from John Warren's stand
point, that had led to Mr.. Aliens dis
comfture. Squire Warren was neigh
Dor of Director Hathaway and the two
farmers were firm friends. So when the
squire's son began to make disparaging
remarks about the teacher, and the IA
Their, whose faith in his only son was
unbounded, had become prejudiced
against the young man, he mentioned
the matter to the director and easily
persuaded that worthy official, whose
acquaintance with the teacher had ex-
tended little farther than had been in
cidental to the duty of making con-
tract with him, that young Allen" was
not a eft person to conduct our school.
lie is too familiar with the scholars and
hasn't enough dignity to fill such re-
sponsible position"
Director Hathaway was man of
promptness and decision, whose will
was law with the board, so when he
called his colleagues together and de-
ivered the opinion that the teacher was
too young and inexperienced to con-
duct the winter term, the assessor and
the moderator meekly acquiesced,
though they both felt in their hearts
that the young man had performed
his duties well.
So it came about during the last week
of the term that Mr.. Allen had been
given formal notice that his services
would not be needed any longer. He
had been greatly surprised and morti-
fed at this announcement, and his pu-
pills had shown their disapproval of the
boards arbitrary action in a way that
threatened open revolt-all but John
Warren, who could hardly repress his
exultation at the turn affairs had taken.
One year before this incident Herbert
Allen had been the favored son of a
rich merchant in an eastern city. His
mother had long been in the grave and
Herbert had spent most of his boyhood
days in a famous preparatory school.
Just as he was ready to enter college,
financial disaster came upon his father,
resulting in his ruin and subsequent
death. This sudden blow of fate left
Herbert dependent upon his own re-
sources. Young and resolute in char

SIMILAR TO BOTKIN CASE.
Harry Cornish, of New YOrk-It
Killed Woman.

NEW YORK, Dec. 29.-After a draft of
what was supposed to be a harmless
remedy for headache, Mrs. Kate d.
Adams died Wednesday half an hour
later in violent agony at her home, No,
81 West Eighty-sixth street.
Henry Cornish, a member of the
Knickerbocler Athletic club, who
lived in Mrs Adams house, also took
some of the drug and was rendered
violently i'll.
The medicine came on Christmas
day in a small silver stand, bearing a
bromo seltzer label and was addressed
in a large masculine hand; ''Mr.
Henry Cornish, Knickerbocl1er athletic
club, Madison avenue and Forty-fifth
street, New York"
Immediately after taking a dose
from the phial Mrs. Adams was con-
vulsed in agony.
DR.. E. f. Hitchcock, of 70 West
Eighty-seventh street, was hastily
summoned, and when he arrived he
saw at once that Mrs. Adams was be
yond medical aid. He essayed to re-
vive her by the Sylvester artificial res
piration process, but failed.
The coroner is making a thorough
investigation, as is also the district
attorney, who has taken the case in
hand. The latter was seen at a late
hour Wednesday night, and stated
that he had had an interview with
Cornish, but preferred to remain quiet
on the matter. Asked why, he replied:
Something he told me leads to the be-
lief that we can locate the guilty par
ties but if made public would defeat
the ends of justice"
HARTFORD, CT, Dec. 29.-The wife of
Harry Cornish before her marriage
was Miss Addie Barden. She came
here from Worcester, Mass, and was
employed here as a clerk in store.
She separated from Cornish five years
ago and afterward obtained a divorce.
She has lived for year and half on
Huntington avenue, Boston.

acter, he made his way to the west and
finally found the congenial work in the
country school which he had pursued
so happily until a cruel fate had again
thrown him upon a selfish world
without the means of employment.
Finally the young ex-teacher, as he
now felt himself to be, was aroused
from his reverie by rap at the door,
and before he could collect his wan
dering thoughts a curly-pated lad,
breathless from running, stumbled In
to the room with letter in his hand.
Say, teacher" said the boy, Il was
down to the corners to get DAD mail
and Mr.. Jones wanted me to fetch this
letter for yoB. He said it had been in
the office most two weeks"
Thank you, Charlie; my CORE
spondepce is so limited 1 had forgotten

and he took the business-like envelope
in his hand and wonderingly tore It
open. II read as follows:

the house ever sence we sent you notice,
and last night after school the whole
crowd of scholars came traipsin' down
to my house with petition askin' Us
to reconsider our vote. So, Mr.. Teach
er, we have thought best to yield to all
this pressure and ask you to stay. What
is more, we've decided to raise your
wages to $50 a month"
During this long speech the spirits of
the young man again rose to an exult-
ant pitch, but he replied in a calm and
dignified tone, which the gathering
darkness helped him 10 assume:
Gentlemen, it is indeed gratifying
to me that you have thus indicated me
from the suspicion of failure in my
work. But whether l can accept your
! offer at this late day is a question which
cannot decide without some reflection.
The generosity of your offer to raise my
wages is appreciated, though 1 shall
decline to accept the increase. l will
carefully consider your kind offer and
leave my decision with Director Hath
away tomorrow morning"
The interview was now ended, and the
board solemnly and with some surprise
at the independent but perfectly cour-
teous manner of the youthful master,
withdrew.

ant, JOHN w. PENISIMAN.
Herbert read the welcome news in
dazed sort of way. He reread it more
carefully, and as its full import dawned
upon him exultation took the place of
dependency in his breast. He picked
up the draft with feeling of elation.
"This is indeed New Years gift! This
little piece of paper is worth ten times
as much as I have earned this whole
term. No more need to worry for the
future! The news is too good to be
true. Now can bid defiance to that
august body, the school board of the
Brown district"
Just then his eye happened to rest
upon some very neat algebraic char
acters on the blackboard which he had
purposely directed mot to be erased"
in order to attract the wondering atten-
ton of his visitors that afternoon. An
instant change came over his spirits.
'Still I would have enjoyed another
term in this district. 1t is shame that
ones efforts are so little appreciated"
The gathering dusk of a winters day
admonished him not to linger further,
and he began to gather up his books
with a constantly sinking heart. He
had nearly completed his task when
heavy footsteps and deep-tOned voices
in the hallway attracted his attention
and in walked Director Hathaway,
Moderator Stevens and Assessor Sim
mons.
Good evening, gentlemen" was the
pleasant salutation of the eX-schOoI
master.

conclusion to reconsider our former ac-

AS I've been sayin' to Mr.. Stevens and

hasty in our course. The teacher has
taught us a good school, there amt no

FIRED ON AMERICAN TROOPS.
Detail of the Tenth Regulars in QueIIing
Riot Returned the Fire-Cubans and
Spaniards Killed aud Wounded.

HAVANA, Dec. 2S.-The American
troops were fired on in Havana Tues
day night.
The whole city is in an uproar and
serious rioting is threatened.
A detail of Company M, 10th regular
United States infantry, while quelling
riot which broke out on Bombay
street at 8 o'clock Tuesday evening,
was fired on.
The regulars returned the fire, and
sent volley after volley into the crowd
of rioters az they fed out of the street
Two Spanish sailors were wounded
and Spanish marine was killed by
the Americans. A number of other
persons whose names could not be Sc
cured " ere also wounded in the melee
which caused the interference of the
American troops. Three Cubans were
fatally injured. Several Spaniards
who were carried away by friends
were wounded, but it is not known
how seriously.
None of the American soldiers were
wounded.
In the small riots that occurred in
various parts of the city Tuesday IL
persons were wounded, several fatally.
A Spanish soldier, marching with his
company to the wharf, attempted to
pull down a Cuban flag and
an American flag waving over
the door at 1O8 San Lazaro
street. This started the fight. The
Spaniards were fired upon from the
hOusetOps and windows. They re-
turned the fire, Kidding the front of
the buildings with bullets. The soldier
who attempted to take down the flags
fell on the steps of house bleeding
from wounds in the head and shoulder.
The Spanish soldiers withdrew, carry
ing their injured comrades.
Residents of San LazarO say the
withdrawal of the Spaniards was due
to the appearance of an American Off
Ger, who persuaded the Spaniards to
retire. The town Tuesday night was
prac ically in the hands of the Amer
leans. The Spaniards Tuesday night
are supposed to still hold possession Of
the strip of ground between the prado
and the port, but their soldiers have
