TIE DEED OF A MANIAC.
Eccentric Character Goes Insane aud
Manages to XIII Himself.

Waterbury, Conn.,, May 6.-News was
received here from Morris of peculiar
method employed by man to end his
life. The victim in the case was known
as Was Churchill an eccentric charac-
ter, who. with his wife, occupied small
house in that place.
The story as told by Mrs. Churchill is
to the effect that her husband, who had
been acting strangely, attempted to burn
the building by igniting hay saturated
with tar in the cellar of the house while
she was lying ill in bed. Churchill then
went away. When he saw the efforts
being made to save the structure by
neghbors called by his wife, he dashed
through the fire fighters and sprang into
the blaze. He was hastily drawn out,
but a moment later broke away from his
captors and again jumped into the flames.
This time he was rescued with great
difficulty and was so badly burned that
death resulted few minutes later. The
building was destroyed.

PoPULIsTs In CONVENTION.
sioux Falls Full of Enthusinstic Del

Sioux Falls. May 6-The city is rapid.
ly filling with the advance guard of the
national populist convention. Elaborate
preparations have been made for enter
tanning the large crowds expected. See
rctaly Edgalton of the national commit
tee has arranged with the hotels to
charge the ordinary rates of 81 to $3.50 a
day. The city is gayly decorated with
bunting, flags, streamers and portraits of
favorite leaders. a huge wigwam with a
seating capacity of $4,000 has been erect
ed and gayly decorated, and several large
halls have been arranged for committee
headquarters.
Information received from various parts
of the country leads to the belief that the
attendance will reach from $4,000 to 20
600. General Weaver will head the big
Iowa delegation. Minnesota will send a
train load advocating the nomination of
Charles A. Towne for vice president.
The New York contingent is coming
ready to work for Congressman Sulzer
and Illinois will demand City Prosecutor
III. 5. Taylor of Chicago. 1t is conceded
that Bryan will be nominated for presi-
dent.
The great contest of the convention
will be the vice presidency. 1t is consid-
cred likely that the selection will be left
to committee which will confer with
similar committee appointed by the Dem
ocratic convention at Kansas City. The
real work of the convention will begin on

Brave Doctors Experiment.

London. May 6.-Under the auspices
and at the expense of the colonial office
Drs. Sambon, formerly of the Italian ar
my, and Low of the School Of Tropical
Medicine will commence to live on June
in the Roman Campagna, near Ger
vclata, which is described as one of the
deadliest spots on the globe. Their object
is to demonstrate dramatically to the
public that malaria is entirely due to
mosquitoes. Scientific men already recog-
nize this fact, but it is desired to convince
the public and residents of tropical coun-
tries. DR.. Manson, medical adviser of
the colonial office, considers that this
knowledge will revolutionizc the colonial
system and change the methods of hous-
ing the colonial staff. Better men will
enter the service, which will be less dan
gerous, and the cost of administration
will probably be reduced one-half.

The Army REORGANIZATION BiII

Washington, May 6.-In anticipation OF
the passage by the house of the army re
organization bill iii an unamended form
the officials ut the war department have
been figuring to learn what effect the
bill will have upon the numerical
strength of the army. 1t appears that
the only branch of the service which will
receive any addition is the artillery,
and the number of men to be added to
that branch is only 5,47S at the maxi
mum. This will make the total strength
of this branch of the service 17,44S.
The present enlisted strength of the
army is $1,000 regulars and $4,000 vol
unteers, or total of 100000. The re-
organization bill will increase that total
to 105, ,47S men.
