MAN WHO WEIGHED
525 POUNDS DEAD

Berlin, May 2.-It is reported from
Willenbery, East Prussia that Herr
Hans Fromm, the proprietor of a hotel
in that town, died there after a short
illness Since the death Of Thomas
Longley of Dover, Herr Froomm en-
joyed the distinction OF being the
heaviest man in Europe. Herr Fromm
turned the scale at 525 pounds. lie
stood five feet, eight and one-half
inches in his socks, and measured 72
inches across the chest, by 79 inches
around the waist. Deceased, who al
ways enjoyed a magnificent appetite,
was of a very happy disposition, al
though, owing ohis vast bulk, loco
motion soon became troublesome to
him. He seldom left the house The
last time he showed himself in public
on the streets was in August, 1900,
when he went to inspect a new rail-
way station, and this was quite an
event for the inhabitants of Willen-
berg. At one time there was some
talk of Herr Fromm accepting an en-
gagement 10 appear on the, music hall
stage i'm Paris but the project fell
as there was not a railway
carriage that would accommodate him
and he fatty refused to travel in a
freight car

A NEW TRIAL FOR
LIEUT.. IGNAlZO PASQUiNl

Rome. May "A group of deputies
have introduced a motion in the
chamber with the object of bringing
about a revision Of the Pasquini trial,
which caused such a great sensation
in 1863
Lieutenant Ignazio Pasquini, of the
Turin garrison, was charged with
embezzling 81 400 belonging to the
regimental funds. The accused very
strongly protested his innocence, but
being pronounced guilty was publicly
degraded. deprived of two medals he
had received for valor, and sentenced
to seven years of penal servitude,
Some years afterwards, a captain of
the same regiment, who had been
one of Lieutenant Pasquini's most
fiery accusers, was obliged TO leave
the country, owing to various for
geries he had committed.
Lieutenant Pasquini served his SEN
tence, and on his release was able to
earn a humble living. He never re-
laxed his efforts to procure a revision
Of his case, but without result. Now,
however, news has arrived from a
Spanish town, that the fugitive cap
tain mas died there, after having maze
a death bed confession, that il was
he who committed the theft for which
Lieutenant Pasquini suffered the
penalty The case will be reopened
and tin lieutenant may look forward
10 his complete rehaHlitatiOu as soon
as certain legal formaliries have been
complied with.

WORK, LEAVE, OR GO TO
JAIL, SAYS CHIEF OMAN.

San Francisco. Cal, May 2.-An
able-bodled men must go to work or
leave the city. This Is the dictum of
Chief of Police Dinan, which it Is
said he will strictly enforce. The re-
lief work and the distribution Of
food and clothing are attracting GER
tain element to the city which does
not desire to labor. while some al
ready here prefer to live on the gen.
erosity of others rather than work
Chief Dinan has determined that those
who apply for relief and refuse work
when offered. shall leave the city or
be arrested for vagrancy. Perhaps,
never in the history of San Francisco
has there been so little crime. With
the saloons closed, with Chinatown,
Barbary Coast and other haunts OF
criminals wiped out, and with the
soldiers and marines in almost every
block of the residence districts. there
are but few crimes of any kind. It
is the opinion that most of the crime
element has left the city. The sa-
looms will not reopen for couple of
months, or until normal conditions
shall have been entirely restored.

CORONER WALSH CLAIMS
VERY LARGE DEATH LIST.

San Francisco, Cal, May 2.-Coro-
ner Walsh still believes that the re-
mains of hundreds of earthquake vic
time lie under the ruins in the burned
district.
When the debris is cleared away"
he said, ''there will be at least 1000
additions to the death roll. / would
net be surprised If the number would
reach 1900. A great number of per-
sons perished in the cheap lodging
houses that collapsed. Down in the
fish market district several hundred
men were at work at the time of the
earthquake. Many structures col
lapsed, and the workers had no time
to save themselves. Few victims are
being found now because the debris
in the places of death is as yet un-
touched. We cannot eXcavate the
ruins, for that work would require
thousands of deputies. We can only
wait for what we know must be the
terrible harvest"
