located, Deputy Marshal Sine, as
we'll also, as the railroad company,
have taken the matter up and
thorough and vigorous effort will
be made to bring the guilty
to justice. Only week ago
at about the same point a shot
was fired through a window of a
passing train. Deputy Marshal
Sine has jurisdiction In the matter
on account of the train carrying U.
S. Nail. At the time the deed was
committed Mr.. Sine was occupying
a different car. otherwise he would
have stopped the train at once and
make an attempt to apprehend the
Williams on the spot.
This sort of crime Is reaching
alarming proportions day by day,
and many innocent individuals
have been victims of the villianous

will be made an example of by CIV

Opening of the venezueTan Claims
 Arbitration.

Opening of the venezueIan Claims
 Arbitration.
 THE HAGUE, Oct. 2.-The first ses- sion of the tribunal appointed to arbi- trate the question of the priority of the claims against Venezuela of Great Britain, Germany and Italy over those of the other claimants was held. At the opening M. Muravieff, the presi- dent of the tribunal, pointed out the significance of the arbitration proceed ings, in which he said for the first time the bulk of the nations of Europe participated and the calanities of war were averted, thus scoring 8 victory over the argument of force.
 The question as to the language in which the proceedings should be con Hucted was discussed. Great Britain and Germany claimed that the memo randa of the claims should be in Eng fish, though the pleadings might be in other languages with the permission of the court. A decision in this matter will be announced at an early date, when an answer to Wayne MacVeagh's s request for Venezuela to be allowed to commence her case at once will also be given. Great Britain opposes MT. MacVeagh's application.

SMOKING OUT SNAKES.
Three Hundred Dollars of Easy Money for a Trio of fEnterprising
 Lads I'm Maine.

A Boston druggist who came to Maine two years ago told the farmers and lumbermsn in Tildan he would give from 25 to 50 cents for every skin of the Down East water snake they could send him. He had a great demand for them from customers who made them into belts and wore them around their waists next the skin as 8 relief for rheumatism. Owing to the retiring disposition ofwa- ter snakes few were captured and the druggist increased his offer to 75 cents for whole skins which were four feet in length. Even this did not bring as many as he wished. Then the state of Maine placed 8 bounty of 25 cents head on ,hedgehogs, and all the hunters forgot the premium on snake skins in their zeal for. the new way of earning money,
 Last week while three boys were building fires at the mouth of the cave at the end of Beech hill pond and trying to smoke out score or more of hedge hogs which were inside, they noticed that water snakes were swimming down the brook which emerges from the cave
 It was then that they remembered FeA

Revealed Escaped Convict After Twenty Years of Mental Torture Revealed His Secret to Friend Who Betrayed film to the Prison Authorities.
F. KELLY, alias Felix Daly. who

~ F. KELLY, alias Felix Daly. who
 has just been brought back to
 the Mississippi penitentiary from Birmingham, Ala, to complete his sen- tence, interrupted by an escape from the penitentiary 20 years ago, tells re- markable story of remorse and inability to keep 8 secret The New York Sun says that Daly was living in Birming- ham under the assumed name of Kelly. He had married there, had a son almost grown. had done well in business and had prospered generally. During the 20 years since be had escaped from the Mississippi penitentiary he had greatly aged, and had changed so in appearance that even the old wardens would not have known him. There was never the slightest chance of his rearFest and inn DTisonment, indeed, the fact that man by the name of Daly had escaped from the Mississippi jail had been forgotten by everyone.
 The only person wpo knew of it was Daly himself, but the knowledge so preyed upon his mind that he could not keep the secret. He wanted to confide @AA CFCA JOAO nO u10LS t4t1Q uud41y LO4U HIS story to a man who investigated it, found it true, and communicated the facts to the Mississippi penitentiary au- thOFities Daly was rearrested, to the great surprise of his family, and taken back to the penitentiary. He made no denial, but confessed his identity at once, and expressed great relief that the secret was off his mind
 It has kept me in condition of ner- vous excitement for the entire 20 years" said Da1y. Every day I expected the officers to come and arrest me. Every. day felt that ought to confess to the authorities that was an escaped convict and go back to the penitentiary and complete my term.'
 There can be no question that Daly is telling the truth in regard to his mental anguish and suffering. As a matter of fact, he has twice gone insane through worrying over the matter with 0ut anyone imagining the secRet that had mentally unbalanesd him. After a short rest fn the asylum he recovered and went back to his home his mind still weighted with his past.
 Filled with the wild desire that pos sessed him to share his secret with some one he opened the subject several times with strangers he says. He even wenW to the goverR nf Georgia to tell hisl

 British Premier Defends His Fiscal
 Policy.
 SHEFFIELD, England, Oct. @-In The artillery drill hall Mr. Balfour, the British premier, made his tariff reform speech, saying that for fifty years Eng land had watched in silence the build ing up of wall of hostile tariffs against her. Even her colonies were building up a system of protection which, when it reached it's natural con- clusion, would make it as hard for the United Kingdom to export goods to her colonies as to export goods to the United States and ether protected ceun- tries. The premier said free trade was an empty name and vain farce. Golden never dreamed of the modern trust sys- tenn.
 MT. Balfour did not think the coun- try was ripe for the taxation of food, but the evils of food taxation had been exaggerated beyond what reason and logic justified. He advised the Union tst party as the best result of his re- dections that to tax food would be against public opinion and not within tue limits of practical politics.

asylum at Tuskaloosa for insanity but when released was apparently as sane as anyone else, although a physical wreck and with his nerves unstrung.
 Daly was convicted of assault with in- tent to murder William E. Smith. The crime was committed at Moss Point, Miss, in 1879 He was convicted on May 26, 1881, and sentenced to the peni- tentiary for five years. He escaped on January g. 1883, after serving little more than year and half There was no trouble about the escape, but Daily never got over 1t.
 It is probable that he will be pardoned, as he has suffered during his 20 years of freedom more than if he had been con- fined all that time, and he is such physical and nervous wreck that he could not possibly hope to serve out the remaining three and half years of i'm prisonment he owes the state; indeed, il would take 8 very short term in the snenitentfarv to Kill hfxaa
