JoKERS UNDER ARREST.
mmOnia Given to an Intoxicated
Man May Cause Death.

SCRANTON, Pa, Feb. 23.-WIlliam Bush
saIoonkeeper, and George Lux, miner
of Fell Township were committed to the
county Jail last night upon peculiar
charge, which is likely to end in murder
On Tuesday night, a man by the name
of John Corby went to Bush's saloon, and
after drinking for some time, went to
sleep in a chair. Soon afterward his snor-
ing attracted the attention of Bush and
Lux. who thought that it would be good
Joke to awaken Corby by holding bottle
of ammonia to his nose. This did not have
the desired effect, as Corby slept on. Soon
afterward they decided to resort to more
stringent measures and poured the con-
tents of the bottle dow Corby's throat In
his drunken sleep, Corby swallowed tne
ammonia and still slept on. Inc couple
were at their wits ends. and 1T dawned
upon them that, to awaken Corby would
be no easy task.
Eventually. a medical man was sum-
moned, and he found that Corby was un-
conscious He was engaged for some hours
in endeayoring to restore him to con-
sciousness, but failed. Observing that
ammonia had been used freely, he made
enquiries which resulted in his acquiring
some information regarding the serious
Joke that Bush and Lux had played on
Corby. AS a result, they were promptly
arrested. Corby is expected to die.

A MISSING MOBILE DRUGGIST.
Thomas 4. Moore Mysteriousiy Dis
appears in New York.

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-Thomas f.
Moore, business man Of Mobile. Ala, has
disappeared in this city, and although his
brother-inlaw, Robert o. Harris. has been
here two days looking for him. he has been
unable to find any trace Of the missing
man. Mr. Moore arrived here on January
81. to attend to some business with a
wholesale drug firm in this city. He is
engaged in that business, has been married
for twelve years. and has four children.
of whom he is very fond and proud
Mr. Moore went to the Grand Union Ho-
tel. He wrote his wife a long letter that
evening. and told her that he expected to
complete the business which had called
him to this city without delay. and would
return very soon to his home.
He remained at the Grand Union Hotel
until February 3, when at about noon he
paid his bill. took his grip. and walked out.
Since that day bis relatives have been able
to get absolutely no information as 10 his
whereabouts, although he has written sew
eral times to his wife in Mobile.
The last OF these letters Mrs Moore re-
ceived on Monday. it having been written
on Friday. in vein which led her TO be
lieve that her husband was an inmate of
a hospital or sanitarum in this city. The
letter was mailed somewhere in the Madi-
son Square district, and as soon as she re-
ceived it Mrs. Moore became alarmed and
asked her brotheT-in-law. Robert o. Har-
ris wholesale grocer. of Mobile to come
10 this city TO look for her husband.
Mr. Harris reached here Wednesday, and
began a search of the public hospitals
even visiting the wards under the suppo
sitiOn that Mr.. Moore might have been
taken to a hospital under some other name
than his own.
Il cannot imagine where Mr.. Moore is"
said Mr.. Harris last evening at the Grand
Hotel. He was very happy in his home
life, and there is nothing so far as We
know that would cause him 10 disappear
in this way. We judged by the tone of his
letter that he was sick and an inmate of
hospital. although he did not say so. He
spoke in one OF the letters of having met
a man he knew in the next ward so we
judged by that he was in hospital
Il have asked the police to send out a
general alarm for him, and also have ad-
vertsed. Mrs. Moore is very much worried
at his strange disappearance. which she
cannot account for in any way. There was
absolutely nothing in his business or in
his family affairs which would occasion
his absence for such a period. l hope TO
heac something about him tomorrow

FDDY's KITE EXPERIMENTS.
Important Deductions Made Concern
ing Atmospheric Electricity.

NEW YORK. Feb. 23.-William 7. Eddy.
the kite man, sent up kite at Bayonne
Yesterday to test the electric conditions Of
the upper air toward the close of storm
At 1870 the kite went into and through
the clouds, but there was no sparkling, and
there appeared to be an almost total ab-
senee of atmospheric electricity aloft. The
more the storm scattered. the more cleo
trieity appeared. and by 2 O'Clock, when it
was perfectly clear. sparks one-eighth OF
an inch in length were obtained. This was
about the normal for clear weather.
Mr.. Eddy's deduction from the series OF
experiments which closed yesterday was
that in clear weather the atmospheric elee-
tricity attans what may be considered the
normal point. At the commencement ot a
storm it attains it's greatest power, ana
then reduces as the storm proceeds; SINK
ing to almost nothing at the tail end OF the
storm. and then slowly increasing to the
normal of fair weather.

BUGLER EMILIO cAssI FREE.
A Rough Rider Secures Liberty
Through a Wife's Devotion

HAVANA Cuba, Feb 23.-Emilio Cassi
who was a bugler in the Rough Riders was
released from Jail yesterday by Governor
General Wood. Cassi was serving a three
years sentence for having killed Lieuten-
ant Martinez, of the Cuban army, last
March.
Cassi at the time was lieutenant of po-
lice. and the shooting occurred during the
progress of a fight in the Inglaterra Hotel
over the distribution of the $4,000, 900
among Cuban veterans. Cassi was born in
Italy but is an American citizen. Feeling
ran high against him among Cubans who
threatened lynching.
A wealthy Cuban girl. Miss Castillo, be
came infatuated with Cassi. and married
him in Jail about month after his impris
onment. She had given away a fortune to
the revolutionists during the war, and after
the marriage appealed 10 General Gomez
to use his influence for her husband.
Gomez refused, because Cassi is an
American. Since then she spent another
fortune striving to gain her husbands re-
lease. She pleaded with Governor General
Wood. Governor Roosevelt, President Nc
Kinley. and the military authorities here.
Nothing daunted her. To gain her purpose
she offered jailers large bribes until or
ders were issued denying her entrance to
the prison.
She disclosed to the military authorities
last summer a plot of Cubans to blow up
the Tacon Theatre and another municipal
building in Santa Clara on the night of the
Fourth of July. The information caused
alarm in military circles, and for her con-
duct her husbands pardon was promised
if the conspirators were arrested. Havana
was put under military guard that night.
and a regiment of soldiers watched the
buildings in Santa Clara. An attempt was
made at both places. exactly according to
details furnished by Mrs. Cassi. Three
men were caught in the act of placing
packages of dynamite under the Tacon
Theatre.
This occurrence was looked upon at first
as an indication of a general uprising
among Cubans. An examination of the
arrested parties disclosed in Santa Clara
the same conditions.
Since Governor General Woods arrival
he has taken an interest in the case, and,
considering Cassi's heroism at Santiago.
he granted the pardon. Cassi left Havana
secretly after release and will probably go
to the United States with his wife imme-
dIately as he fears death at the hands OF
the CubaIis.
