ENGLISH BLooDHOUNDs.
Man-Hunting Trials Soon to BE Held
In Yorkshire.

From the London Mail.
An Interesting series of experiments is
soon to begin under the auspices Of the AS
ISOLATION of Bloodhound Breeders. which is
arranged for man-hunting trials with
bloodhounds in Yorkshire.
The object of these experiments is to de-
termine what reliance can be placed upon
English bloodhounds in tracing criminals.
The trials. or "tests," as bloodhound
owners prefer 10 call them, will be carried
out under circumstances as nearly as pos
sible analogous to those which might be
supposed to prevail if the dogs were en-
gagged in hunting down an actual criminal.
The hounds will not be put upon fresh
ly-laid scent, but upon one which is at
least three hours old. The runners boots
will be 'clean"-lhat is 10 say, they will
not be anOinted with anise seed or with
any other substance calculated to
strengthen the scent.

Charles Warren, then the chief commits

round Hyde Park by a couple of Mr.
Brough's hounds
The trial in this particular instance took
place in the early morning and the press
failed to get wind of the affair until il was
all over Details are therefore lacking
but it was to be presumed seeing that no
further steps We're taken in the matter,
that Sir Charles was not convinced of the
practical value of blOdhounds for criminal
catching purposes.
The difficulty lies, of course, in keeping
the trail clear. The news that murder has
been committed soon spreads and thou
sands of people deem it incumbent upon
them to flock to the spot, celebrating all
footmarks and effectualy destroying that
scent which is the biodhound's only guide.
It was estimated that within twenty
four hours fully 1900 persons visited the
lonely villa at Muswell Hill where in Old
Mr.. smith was done to death by MillsOm
and Fowler, and quite as many more have

fine house in the Old city where Goethe

Dewey's gunners have not lost their cum

week. and the rest of the fleet, down to
the auxiliary cruiser McCuloch, follows
the lead to a liberal extent. There is no
needless waste Of ammunition, for it is
too precious for all that, but sub-calibers
are used Small shells inserted in large

CLAUDE MATTHEW'S STRICKEN.
Paralysis Seixes Him While Address
ing an Indiana AssembIage.

Indianapolis was startled last night with
information that Ex-Governor Claude Mat
thews was lying at the point of death at
the home of friend in Montgomery coun-
ty. There had been an immense assem-
blage of old settlers at Meharry's Grove,
near Wingate, and the governor was billed
to speak.
Soon after dinner he began his address
and spoke for about hour in an easy
manner, when he was noticed to stop and
waver for an instant. Placing his hand
to his head, he turned about to friend on
the platform and said in rather frighten-
ed manner, Il feel very weak and queer.
He then staggered for a moment and was
about TO sink to the floor when several of
those present rushed to his aid and, catch
ing him in their arms. carried him of the
platform and stretched him at full length
on the ground.
Medical aid quickly reached him. His
entire right side was paralyzed, and while
he could apparently understand questions
put to him, he could not reply. He simply
shook his head, if he comprehended
what was said. He was then taken to
