Hot Springs. Ark, July q
Murderer Dougherty, who is in Jail
here sentenced to be hanged Au-
gust IA, this morning attacked Ed
Williams, the alleged fake foot.ra-
Ger, who was his cell mate, with a
razor and almost cut his victim in
two at the center of the body. Citi-
zens here are greatly excited and it
seems impossible to avoid lynch
ing or a burning.
The trouble between the two men
was the result of jealousy over a
more or less morbid young woman
of good family who has been in the
habit of bringing flowers to Dough
erty. Williams impressed the girl
favorably and yesterday she brought
him cake. This ranked in the
heart of the murderer and bicker-
ings continued during all last night
between the two men.
Matters eliminated this morning
when Williams told Dougherty that
he might as we'll give the girl to
him, as the latter would soon be off
the earth under the most favorable
conditions. This so angered Dough.
erty that he jumped on Williams
and committed his second man.

St. Louis, July 3.-Fifty persons
were injured this morning in col.
lisiou beiw-en5 two street cars at the
intersection of Olive street and Tee
ferson avenue. A g.. Killu, motor
man on the Oliye-street car, is not
expected to recover, but most of the
others will, it is believed. Both cars
were filled with passengers. The
Olive street car has the right of
way, but the Jeferson.a7enue car,
instead of slackening speed at the
crossing, sped on and crashed into
the other car. When it was seen
that collision was imminent, the
passengers became panic-stricken.
The impact was SO violent that
the Olive-street car was hurled COM
pletely over on its sids ani all its
passengers piled in a. heap. All the
injured were taken III ambulances
to their homes Or to the city hos
pital.

Pittsburg, July 4.-During the

ed in an accident of most unusual
character.
A large American flag suspend
ed from a grocery store became
soaked with rain, and the high
wind blew it against an electric
light wire which was carrying 1000
volts. The wire snapped under the
pressure and it fell into the street,
one end lodging in a pool Of water
and charging it. John Visa, run

pool of water and fell dead.
Shortly after this the Statti
family, numbering seven per-
sons, drove by. The driver was
hurrying to reach place of shelter
and as he approached the broken
wire hundreds of people attempted
to warn him of the danger but
could not make him understand
until too late. One of the horses

Magnetic Persons.

Professor Murani, a distinguished
Italian scientist. says that certain
persons possess a strange magnetic or
electric influence which produces very
curious results.
A few days ago while he was at
work on some electrical experiment,
one of his friends suddenly entered the
room, and at the same moment the
needle of his galvanometer moved to
and fro very rapidly. He was sure
that his friend had in one of his peck
cts either a magnet or some other
electrical instrument, and in order to
convince him that he was mistaken
his friend removed all his clothes. To
the professors surprise the galvano-
meter continued to act just as though
powerful magnet was near it, and
the closer his friend approached the
more marked its action became. More
over, the front of the body acted on ii
the same manner of the positive pole
of a magnet and the back as mega
tive pole.

TYRANNY versus Liberty.

Virginia newspapers chronical the
fact that Gen. John S. Wise has per-
manently expatriated himself from
the State in which he was born and
reared, and which he has honored by
his attachments. because of social os-
tracism visited upon him by the first
families of Virginia for the crime OF
being Republican and having the
courage to say so in public. There is
not state in the Union permanently
and certainly under Democratic DOM
ination where Republican dare ex-
press himself without The forfeiture
of life, property or social position.
There is not Republican State in the
Union where men are not permitted
to hold their own views on political
questions and to express them openly
without fear OF punishment. The one
condition represents tyranny, the
ether American liberty. The gap be-
tween them represents the chasm
which yawns between intelligence
and intOlerence.-Wa Times.

Funeral of Jesse D, Chaplin.

The funeral Of Jesse D. Chaplin,
held at Bourbon Sunday, was quite
largely attended Notwithstanding the
heavy rain. The services were. held
in the Methodist church and tributes
to the character of the deceased were
made by the pastor and Rev. Mr..
Crews of lnwood and on the part OF
the Marshall county bar by Hon. Sam
uel Parker and Senator Parks.
The tremendous downpour of rain
at the close of the services and for
hours afterward, made it. impossible
to take the remains to Warsaw, Sum-
day, consequently the interment did
not take place until Monday forenoon.
Deceased had large class Of young
men in the Methodist Sunday school.
His extensive general information, his
knowledge of scripture and ancient
history, coupled with faculty Of tel
ling what he knew in choice and con-
else language, made him teacher
whose place it will be impossible to
fill. He will be greatly missed in all
circles Of society in Bourbon.

PLYMOUTH, Ind.
Dear Sir: If there is a spot in your
paint where the water gets in, the
wood underneath is rotting or rotten.
The timbers go too.
Such spot develops unseen in some
corner-under the caves perhaps
while the paint is still in good condi-
tion generally.
Look out for such spots, or paint at
random for looks. Ii you paint for
looks, you are likely to stop such spots
before there are any spots.
Extravaganza pays in paint. Econ

Irish Fighters On the Decline.

For a long time it was considered
that man to be of any account in the
prize ring must have Irish blood in his
veins. .'Second-crop Irish," or
American born of Irish parents, were
looked ON as the only legitimate heirs
to championship honors in the ring.
John @. Heepan, aOhn Morrisey and
Ned O'Baldwin lent color to this ar
gumeEt, and for long time it seemed
futile to try TO debate the question at
all. The careers of John L. Sullivan,
Paddy Ryan and Jake Kilrain appear
ed to settle the matter beyond all
doubt. When Corbett put Sullivan
out of the business IRISH blood was
still to the fore, but the reign of the
men of that race IN the ring seems now
to have come to an end, as there, is
not a man at the top OF the heap in
any of the recognized classes of box
ing at the present time who is of
Irish blood. Jeffries is Pennsylvania
Dutch; Tommy Ryan, the recognized
middleweight champion, is Jew, Ry-
an being merely his fighting name;
Joe Waicott and Joe Cans, the welter-
weight and lightweight champions.
are negroes, and Young Corbett,
whose right name is Rothwell, is of
German descent. Just how long this
state of affairs is likely to last is hard
to say.

precautionary measures regarding Co
