Buzaneck, a l2-year-old somnambulist,
leaped from second-story front window
of his home, in Manayunk, Pa, early
Yesterday morning and landed on meat
hook in front of his fai hers butcher shop
on the first floor. The sharp prong tore
numerically through the flesh of the un-
fortunate youths leg, and then, swapping
in half, dropped with its human burden
to the pavement below There his agOn-
lied parents found him. Perambulating
his sleep has long been habit of
Young Buzaneck. His father and mother
have repeatedly saved him from rash
noctural adventures. Fearful that he
might elude them, they had the boy
sleep in the same room with them. In
spite of all their precautions, however,
their son eluded them yesterday morn
ing and succeeded in landing on hos
pital cot The sharp hook which caught
the youth had been hanging about six
feet from the ground. During the day
Buzaneck has been accustomed to hang
ing thereon his choicest cuts of meat.
These were taken inside the shop at
night, but the hook was fastened to a
frame and was, therefore, not removable.
1t has held much heavier weights than
that of the boys body, but the force
with which he fell broke it off sharply.
Young Buzaneck was suspended on the
hook for only a second or so.

SAW BOOTH KILLED.

Rev. DR.. r. b. Garrett, pastor of the
Court Street Baptist Church, Norfolk,
saws that there can be no doubt that
John Wilkes Booth was Killed by
Sergeant Boston Corbett and that the
Identification of the remarks of a man
named George in Oklahoma as those of
the assassin of President Lincoln can
not be other than mistake. "Ihe
SLAYER of President Lincoln died in my
fathers barn. His remains were most
thoroughly identified from photograph
and the printed description that was
possessed by the soldiers" said Rev. Dr.
Garrett. There is not the shadow OF a
doubt but that his wild life was ended
bv Sergeant Corbett's bullet. was
there and was present at the identifica-
ton. | know how thorough it was be-
cause it was the first intimation that my
father had that he had entertained for
two days as his guest--as an injured
stranger in need-the slayer OF President
Lincoln. | know how surprised we all
were when it dawned upon us that the
man living dead before us could be no
other than Booth. There was the tattoo
marks Of his initials on the arm, and
the comparison h the picture was
perfect. God never made two men as
exactly alike as that dead man and the
one whose photograph there could he no
doubt was Booths. Point by point the
printed description held in the detectives
hand was followed out. Height, color
of hair and eyes, every sea" and mark
tailed exactly. The crowning evidence,
of course, was the name of the actor
done in india ink on his arm. As the
man shot in my fathers barn was dying
he exclaimed Tell my mother ]
died for my coLntry; did what |
thought was right ~ Turning his eyes
toward the burning barn, the property
of the people who bad befriended the
lame and sick wayfarer he said
Captain, it is hard that these good
people should be made TO suffer fer
what | have done. They do not even
know who ! am Some question
had been raised in an effort
to substantate all the myths about
Booths subsequent escape, as to the Sc
crecy employed with regard to the body.
Well if you had lived near Washington
in those troublous times and known the
wild rage of the people this would be ans
wer enough. Two other reasons suggest
themselves to me: One petty spite
that refused to give the assassin decent
burial and the other not so generally
known was that the body had been hOr-
riby mutilated. The brain and back
bone were removed and may be seen in
the Medical Museum in Washington. As
to the Oklahoma story, do not see how
anyone can believe it. | was present at
the death of Booth, and what | have said
is my recollection Of the event--a recOl-
lection impressed indelibly upon my
mind. / know X. l.. Bates, the Mem
phis man who claims to have represented
George, or Booth, for 40 years. As to
the Identification which is said to have
been made. prefer not to speak. 1t
cannot be correct. John Wilkes Booth
died at my fathers farm, in Virginia, on
April 2G, 1865.

GIRLS ENGAGE IN A FIGHT.

Disintegrated sandwiches, n prema-
ture harvest of black hair and foTlOrn
fragments of millinery strewu across
City Hall Park in New York Saturday
marked the scene of a savage battle.
1t was Amazonian, shrll and inexpli-
cable. but very sincere, and the net
results were nine Italian girls and wo-
men, who work in shirt factory, sob
bing in one anOther's arms in City Hall
Police Station. 1t was at 1880 O'Clock,
when the Brooklyn tide of humanity
was coming in, filling Park Row and the
avenues of City Hall Park with huryirg
people. Screams caught the ear Of the
patrolman stationed at that point, and
standing on tiptoe he saw what looked
like whirlpool in the bobbing stream !;
fowered hats tossed in the air, arms
madly in motion and a rush of the mass
of people toward one spot. Calling a
colleague, the two dived into the thick
of the crowd. When they reached the
scene or eruption things were in pretty
bad shape. A fragment of angel food
struck one of them on the left cheek,
and lunch basket exploded on the
chest of the other. Hard-boiled eggs
were popping, and the air was as full OF
passionate, dark tresses as if a bomb had
struck a wigmaker's shop. A good deal
of miscellaneous millinery mixed with the
haze from the forest fires. The two officers
began separating the combatants, most
of them girls less than 20 years of age,
whose flashing black eyes, olive cheeks
ahame and hair flying, indicated that a
good deal of rich Italian anger was
being wasted in purely feminine en-
counter. Shrieking, hurling lovely
vowels as if they were ugly Slavic con-
sonants, tearing one another's waists as
if their purpose was to make business
for their employer, they were so ab-
sorbed that it took the policemen some
minutes to attract their attention. 1t
looked at first like conflict of a hun
dred, with thousands ofspectatOrs cheer
ing them on, but when the two police
men, each with his arms full of girls, who
were diligently kicking their shins, got to
the police station they found they hadnine
prisoners. 1t is estimated that perhaps
three or four escaped. While the affair
is still wrapped in mystery, it is con-
jectured that in the factory where the
girls work there have been differences
between the hands, which resulted in
the bad blood finding an outlet yester-
day. An insulting remark from one
woman to another causeda general fight,
IN which scratched faces and slight
bruises resulted. None was much hurt.
Nine girls and women were arrested.
and after a lecture by the magistrate
were discharged.

Many Jews Going to Palestine
Zionist Movement Making Great Proeress-dea Is Ultimately
10 Purchase the Territory from the Suhan-He
Is Very Friendly in His Altitude

Jewish immigration to Palestine
continues apace under the auspices of
the Alliance Israelite, which alone
spends 100000 francs a year on the
Hebrew colonies and schools in Tur-
key and other philanthropic societies.
The latest phase Of this migration,
known as the Zionist movement, has
for it's object to revive the Jewish
state by purchasing Palestine from
Turkey. The movement, though con-
demned by some as Utopian, and ridi-
culed by others as sentimental in
origin, possesses considerable inter-
est for the unprejudiced observer of
Eastern affairs. No one who has
watched its growth can doubt its
practical Importance.
Although the Sultan is not prepar-
ed to grant all that DR.. Herzl demand
ed, there is sufficient ground to be-
lieve, with DR.. Herzl, that the nego-
tiations will most probably, at no
distant time. lead to conclusion sat
isfactory to the sultan and the Zion.
lists alike. This hope is. strengthened
by the Sultan's attitude toward the
Jews, which in its beneKolence con-
trasts curiously with the treatment
