MYSTERY IN HER DEATH.
wounds in Mrs. Cabus's Neck Made by
a Knife, Not by "a Dog.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Coroner Bausch.
in speaking of the case of Mrs. Caroline
b. Cabus, who was reported to have been
killed at her home. 323 West Twenty-eighth
street, by her pet terrier, said to-day: Il
am waiting for a report from DIR. O'Han-
lon before L decide what to do. If the re-
port of DR.. O'Hanlon warrants ii an inveS-
tigation will be made in the matter. From
what have read about the case knife
wounds were found in the throat, and it
must be from. those that the case is either
one of suicide or homicide. If it proves
to show either 1 will at once make an in
vestigation." Coroner Bausch refused a
burial permit.
An autopsy will be held on the body of
Mrs. Cabus for the purpose of determining
whether apoplexy had anything to do with
the woman's death. In describing the
wound the coroner said several arteries had
been ruptured and that death was undoubt-
eddy the result of slow bleeding. He has a
knife such as is used for pairing vegetables.
The blade of this knife. when introduced
into the wounds. fitted their shape perfect
ly, and he was certain the cutting had been
done with the knife he held. Whether Mrs.
Cabus used the knife herself or whether il
was in the hands of an unknown party re-
mains TO be discovered" said the coroner.
The knife was found beside the body. Ow-
ing to the fact that the knife was very dull,
the coroner thinks Mrs. Cabus would hard
~ be able to inhict on herself so deep a
wound and one with such c~lean-cut edges.

Near Racine serious flood is feared. Rail-
road and telegraph company officials at Mil

another twelve hours it is likely that the
telegraph wires will go down again and
Milwaukee will be shut off from the world
at large. The railroad people also fear

CHOSEN FOR SENATOR

BRAsKA REPUBLICANS.

Into Caucus and There May BE
No Election To-Day.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 19.-In the Re-
publican senatorial caucus to-day David
+. Thompson, of Lincoln. was nominated
for the short-term vacancy on the seventh
ballot, receiving fifty votes, five more than
necessary. Seventeen or eighteen members
declined to go into the caucus under the
rules provided i'm the new call, and as they
refuse to be bound by it's action, it is a
question whether Mr.. Thompson's nomina-
ton will be ratified by the joint conference
of the Legislature at noon tomorrow.
In to-night's balloting Thompson led from
the start. The caucus, without adjourning
after Thompson's election, decided to con-
tlnue balloting for the long-term senator.
But three candidates were brought out
for the long term, Rosewater, Meikeljohn
and Currie. The Thompson men divided
between Rosewater and Meikeljohn and
the contest soon settled down to these
two, the vote through t~hirty-eight ballots
standing about the same.
Up to 2:15 a. m. this wednesday, morn

the long term, the forty-third resulting:
