ATTACK ED INSURGENTS.
Col. Lockett's Artillery Routs Reb-
}:n.s 3a els Intrepched in the
Mountains.

Manila, Dec. 2S.--Col. Lockett, with a
force. of $500 men, Including artillery, at
tackled yesterday morning astrong force of
insurgents intrenched in the mountains
near Montalban, about five miles north
east of San Mateo. The enemy was COM
/ pletely routed, the Americans pursuing
them through the hills, amid which they
fled in every; direction. 2 .i5 So
-Four Americans were wounded. The
Filipino loss was large, resulting from a
! heavy infantry and artillery fire for three
hours into the trenches.
1t is supposed that the insurgents were
those who We're driven out OF San Mateo
on the day Gen. Lawton was killed.
They numbered probably 1000. A dozen
lines Of insurgent trenches covered the
steep trail through the hills and likewise
the valley below. along which the Ameri7
cans passed. The main attacking party
consisted of the Forty-sixth Volunteer in
fantry, a troop of cavalry and artillery,
Col. Lockett commanding in person. The
rest of the command operated from re-
mote points in an endeavor to carry out
Col. Lockett's plan Of throwing his lines
around the enemy and thus cutting off
retreat.
The nature of the mountainous country
made it impracticable to execute this
movement successfully. After the insur-
gents began to run there was a vain at
tempt to use artillery.

ENORMOUS COST
OF MOLINEUX TRIAL.
Expense will Exceed that of Any
Other Hon. eide Case in
This Country.

New York, Dec. 2S.-When the matter
OF the cost of the Molneux trial comes to
be reckoned up there is likely to be troll-
bic, which may not be settled until the
AID of the courts has been invoked. Be
yond all doubt the expenses of the trial
will far exceed that of any other homi-
eide case in this country. Estimates have
already been made as to the probable
amount of money the state will have to
pay at the end of the case. LIE most
conservative of these estimates puts the
figure down at S15O,000 but according to
some well-informed officials the cost at
the present rate of progress may run up
to $25O,0OO In that event the city's
financial officers will PROFESSIONALLY pro-
test payment of the bills. When it re-
quired an outlay of over $4,000 to con-
vict DR.. Henry c. f. Meyer, in 1894, the
magnitude of the sum caused widespread
comment. There is likely to be comment
of much more emphatic nature when
the expenses appertaining to the Mol-
neux trial are footed up.
Expert Tyrrell was recalled today, and
Foreman Martin asked other questions
and again ventured an opinion.

A Lesson in Music.

Zones is a terribly ignorant man."
what makes you think that?"
why, I was talking with him the
other night on the subject of music, and
it turned out that he actually didn't
know the difference between a sonata
and symphony"
''He didn't?"
"It's a positive fact And yet Jones
had always impressed me as being a
rather well-informed man."
ooh, we'll, expect there are others
who don't know the difference between
a sonata and a symphony. To tell the
truth, l don't myself"
"Well, well. | should never have
believed that possible. In the nine
teenth century, too!' 51t
"Well, don't, and I am not ashamed
to confess my ignorance What is the
difference"
er-er-it's like this. A--er--

BOUTELLE IN A BAD WAY
Maine Congressman Suffering from
Paresis, and Confined in Hos
pitai for Insane.

New York, Dec. 2S.-A special to the
World from Boston says: Congressman
Boutelle is now in the Mclean hospital
for insane, at Waverly, seven miles out
of Boston. When ne was brought to
Boston last Monday night it was the in
tention Of the attending doctors to place
him in the Charming sanitarium at
Brookline, a private institution. He
was refused admittance there, the infer
ence being that his case was more des-
perate one than the managers cared to be
responsible for. From a thoroughly re-
liable source it is reported that the con-
gresham is suffering from paresis.
Bangor, Me-, Dec. % The report
comes from reliable authority in Port
land that Mr.. Boutelle is suffering from
Bright's disease in it's last stages, and
that the violent attacks, bordering on de-
lirium, which he has experienced within
the last few days have been caused by
uraemic poisoning, which results in con-
yulsions resembling symptoms of insan-
ity.
While the utmost secrecy; has been
maintained ever since Congressman Bou-
telle's return tt his home concerning his
real condition, it has become known that
his. case. is far more critical than has
been admitted by the doctors or members
OF .Ine4 family. - 800 tstts5f tSsfs;

about birthday present for Mrs. Grit
fin and Miss Drake remarked that she
thought carrom board would be ac-
ceptable. Gen. Griffin seemed highly
amused and threw up his arms and
laughed, and at that instant he was
stricken.
French, dentist in the building, was
first to respond. He lifted the general
from the chair and laid him upon the
floor. He igasped twice, but showed no
other signs of life. DR.. French sent for
physicians, and Dr. Haysn, who arrived
IN 9 few minutes, eSerted pressure on the
chest. Gen. Griffin gasped Twice more
and was dead, Il DIR. Daniels, father of
the general wife and Drs Dwight and
Henry Day arrived soon afterwards q
The doctors pronounced anopleXy the
cause of death. The funeral will prob
ably take place ON Tuesday,

ORE UNDER LAKES.
Explorations will be Made Under
Iron Mountain Lake Near
IShpeming.

Ishpeming, Mich, Dec 2S.-[Special.
-Laughlin & CO., large Pittsburg fur
mace men who are exploring for ore at
Iron Mountain lake, near this city, are
going to set UP a diamond drill on the
ice, which will cover that body of water
as soon as it becomes thick enough to
bear the weight of the outfit, and ex-
plore the ground beneath the lake for
deposit Of workable ore. The drill will
be set up on an arm of the lake which
lies between two diorite hills. 1t is
likely place for the location of a good
deposit of ore and the promoters of the
exploration expect to make lind. De
velopments at this point will be watched
with much interest. Ii ore is found be-
meath the waters of the lake it certainly
exists beneath Lake Sally, from which
the city's water supply is drawn

DOG In THE MINE.
Assists in the Search for Bodies of
Operatives.

Brownsville, Pa, Dee. 2S.-No bodies
We're discovered at the Braznell mine to-
day, but the chances of adding few
more dead to the present number are So
strong that the inquest will not be begun
until next Wednesday. Five or six feet
of debris remain to be removed from the
bottom of the shaft and it is expected
that two or three bodies will be found.
Today small dog was taken down to as
sist the workmen. He has been in other
wrecked mines in this district and was of
great service in finding bodies. He trots
along until he catches a scent. then he
stops and digs until his master arrives.
1t may be another day or two before all
debris is turned over and removed.

ing of the Wholesale Groeers' associa-
ton, called by President III. d. Lee,

WATCHING THE PRIMARIES.
PROHIBITION QUESTION is UP IN
MANY COUNTIES.

From All Reports the Opinion Is the
Anti-Prohibitionist VIII BE in the
Aajority-Many Interesting Con-
tests for Judge and Solicitor Cen
eraI VIII he settIed-OnIy Con-
uressionaI Race Is tn the Third
District.
Atlanta, May 1.-THE primary to-mor-
row promises to be one of the most in
tensely interesting ever held in the stale.
In the district. senatorial and county
legislative races, the prohibition question
has been made an issue to an unusual
degree. There Is no class of people that
keeps more in touch with the general
sentiment of the state than the men who
run the affairs of the state at the Capitol.
Reports have been coming in from all
parts of the state, and If these have made
any one thing clear, it is that state pro-
Inhibition is a dead letter so far as the next
general assembly is concerned. Il Is even
doubtful if the prohis can muster a ma
3ority in the House, as they did at the
last session The new Senate will be
more Overwhelmingly and-prohibitlon
than the last.
In several of the judicial circuits there
are some very warm contests on for judge
and solicitor. In two-thrds of the coun.
ties there are anywhere from two to five
candidates for the Legislature.
In the senatorial districts there are sew
eral warm contests over the prohibition
question, notably in Coweta and Walton.
In the first instance, Representative Post,
prohi, is running against Judge Hardaway,
anti; and in Walton, ex-Representative
Stone and ex-Representative Felker, anti
and prohi respectively, are waging bit
ter fight The ants are regarded sure
winners In each of these contests.
In Baldwin county, Hon. Daniel B.
SCR ford prohibition candidate for the
Legislature, has withdrawn from the pri-
mary, declaring that he could not get
Justice.
IS a red hot fight being made on Judge
George Gober.
similar fight is being waged in Bar
tow county, where spicy features have
been injected into the campaign.
The four-cornered legislative race In
Washington is attracting state attention
from the fact that Hon Thomas W. Hard
wick is making a heroic fight to come back
on his bill to disfranchise the negro. 1t
will be remembered his bill only received
three votes in the last House, those of
himself, Hon. Roland Ellis of Bibb, and
ex-Congressman Hiram p. Bell of Forsyth.
A point on HardWick's bill In Washington
county is, that under the grandfather
clause, the mulattoes of the state would
not be DISTINGUISHED. This race is attract
ing widespread attention
In the third district, represented by Hon.
e. b. Lewis, there Is a contest for con-
gressional honors. With this exception
there are no other contests in the congress
ional districts in the state Congressman
Lewis is opposed by Judge Allen Fort
The fight is very bitter and many sensa-
tional charges and counter charges have
been made.

POLITICS IN sgUsCoGEE.
End of a Warm Campaign-Canning
Factories to Be Built.

Columbus. Ga, May 1.-THE hottest
campaign ever had over a Democratic
primary. closed here tonight. Every
county officer has opposition. Some of
contests will be close, but the belief is
that all of the present officials will win
again on account of the immense number
of tickets printed and numerous combina-
tions. Some surprises are likely to occur.
Betting is lively on the contest for ordi-
nary. Pou is the present incumbent
John d. Little practically has no oppo-
sition for representative. Miller, Hargett
and Chapman are candidates for the 9TH
er place. Chapman has the best chance TO
win, the way it looks tonight, but Miller
has the Endorsement of the Workingmen's
League, an unknown quantity In the vot-
ing.
Local capitalists will establish large
canneries here. The plan is to concentrate
the canning business of the state here
utilizing the entire over-ripe and surplus
fruit of Georgia orchards. Tomatoes will
also he canned largely. II Is intended to
make this city a canning center to rival
baltimore by concentrating the business
at one point. The promoters of the move
ment say they will get freight rates that
viii enable them to compete with Gamer
les elsewhere
