JoKERs UNDER ARREST.
Ammonia Given to an Intoxicated
Man May Cause Death.

Am Onta Given To an intoxicated
Man May Cause Death.
SCRANTON. Pa. Feb. Civilian Bush
saloonkeeper, and George Lux, a miner
of Fell Township. were committed to the
county Jail last night upon a peculiar
charge which is likely to end in murder
On Tuesday night a man by the name
Of John Cor5y went to Bush's saloon, and
after drinking FOR some time, went to
sleep in a chair. Soon afterwaTd his snor
ing attracted the attention of Bush and
Lux. who thought that it would be good
joke to awaken Corby by holding a 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 the
ammonia. and still slept on. The couple
were at their wits ends. and it 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 I'M
conscious. He was engaged for some hours
in endeavoring to restore him to con-
seriousness. 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.

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 DO
lice, and the shooting occurred during the
progress Of a fight in the Inglaterra Hotel
over the distribution Of the $1,000, 600
among Cuban veterans. Cassi was born in
Italy, but is an American citizen. Feeling
ran high against him among Cubans, who
threatened Iynching.
A wealthy Cuban girl. Miss Castillo. be
came infatuated with Cassi, and married
him in Jail about a month after his impris-
Onment- She had given away fortune to
the reyOluticniSts during the war and after
the marriage appealed to 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
hinley, and the military authorities here
Nothing daunted her. To gain her purpose
she offered jailers large brides 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 I'd
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

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


NEW YORK, Feb. Civilian T Eddy
the kite man, sent up a kite at Bayonne
yesterday to test the electric conditions Of
the upper air toward the close OF a storm.
At 1880 the kite went into and through
the clouds. but there was no sparkling, and
there appeared to be an almost total alb
sence of atmospheric electricity aloft- The
more the storm scattered, the more cleo
tricity appeared. and by ? 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 cleo
tricity attains what may be considered the
normal point. At the commencement Of a
storm il attains its greatest power, and
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.
