CzARINA SPURNS ADVICE.
Shadow of Self, She Refuses to Leave
Russia.

st. Petersburg, Oct. 12.-Only the
shadow of her former self, with nerves
shattered from what the doctors fear is
incipient consumption, Empress Alex
andra has refused to take the only pos
sible course that will save her life
the abandonment of Russia s rigorous
climate for the sunshine of southern
Europe.
She will take the advice of the court
physicians and the nurses only on one
condition She announced today that
either the ear or the czarevitch must
accompany her. For political reasons
this is impossible. The fear Of ter
rorist violence has reduced her to sucf
condition that she believes she
would never see her husband or sol
again were she to leave them.

HE ONCE SHOT AT GUITEAU.
Chip Jones Stays Employe With
Buckshot-Deed Recalls Sensa-
tional Act of Years Ago.

Washington, Oct. 14.-Noted for hav
ing attempted to avenge the death of
President Garfield by shooting at
Guiteau, the assassin, William Jones,
locally known as "Bill" Jones, the
avenger, a farmer, tonight shot and
killed John A. Mcpherson of Detroit, at
Bates farm, near Brookland, on the out
skirts of this city.
The weapon used was a shotgun and
McPherson's breast was riddled with
bullets. An unloaded rifle was found
lying beside the body. The shotgun was
found ON the porch of Jones' house.
Jones was arrested shortly after the
killing and brought to this city and
lodged in Jail.
Mrs. Jones, who is said to have been
an eyewitness to the killing, has not
been found. Jones admitted to Coroner
Hewitt that he shot Mcpherson, but
declares he acted in self-defense. The
police have learned, it is said, that the
two men had quarreled over the pos
session of horse.
Mcpherson, who was 20 years old
had been working on Jones farm since
he was discharged from the United
States marine corps on July "a.

When Jones Shot at Guiteau.

Several days following upon Presi-
dent Garfield s death Guiteau was taken
to court for a preliminary hearing and
it was while he was being returned to
Jail under charge of District Marshal
Corkhill that Jones attempted to shoot
him. Jones was riding a spirited horse.
He followed the prisoner from the
courthouse to within several blocks of
the Jail, when he suddenly spurred his
horse, darted through the crowd, drew
revolver and fired into the prison van.
Guiteau. who was sitting near the door,
caught a glimpse Of Jones as he drew
the weapon, and lodged. The bullet sped
over his head and lodged in the side
of the wagon. Jones, believing he had
killed Guiteau, dug his spurs into his
horse S side and escaped.
He was captured shortly afterward
however, near Fredericksburg, Va. Jones
was tried and acquitted.
