THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, MONDAY, JULY 13, 189L ill LOOKS LOVELY lots of Famous Trotters and Drivers at the Ilomewood Kace Track. SOME VERY FAST TIME EXrECTED. Ice Oirncr of Tcimy Declines to Enter His Great Runner in Any Sweep stake at 1'reaent, AT.Ii THE LATEST BASEBALL NEWS. Ilsnuiosps for the local SwiGinlnR Tonracy General Sjvurtinj Xews of Die Day. There was a deal of activity our ct Home wood Park yesterday and it visitor thero would ooi come to the conclusion that something great was appro:.rhing. Theru were score of horsemen and scores of horses on the tracks nnd in and abcut the "tables, and these horsemen and horses are the mosl funioiK. In the country. Of course it was quite evident truit it wns the "Sunday before the races." r'tttburRcrs m ere out in force and huggicR an J other kind ot vehicles were arriving in the park during the day There Is always t-onietliiiig interesting at Homowood Park on the Sunday before the .irand circuit meeting. Veterans who have been following the circuit for years are on hand to tell what has been and what will be iccording to their opinions and younc men just beginning to reach out for fame in the hoi so world are all to be met with. IIorcs of one kind or another are on the tracks almost durin" the entire day. Yesterday was no exception. All the horses entered in the races, except the stables of J. II. Goldsmith and liudd no ble, had arrived on the track yesterday. These two stables will be on hand early this morning. Tho last to arrive yesterday was rapa" Hamlon's f-tring from the Village 1'ara.i, and a line lot of horses they arc. -lustina and Belle Hamlin, tho famous trot ting team, were looking as line as silk and their veteran owner is confident that thoy will do something wonderful this week. Nellie King, another of the Hamlin entry, was looking as chipper as possible. She is in the 2"29 olas for tomorrow and she Is in line condition. Jocko, the Hamlin pacer, entered in the 2:1G pace, aIo looked well, and so was the great Hal Pointer. In short, Mr. Hamlin's stable is In first class condi tion. Uncle John Turner was also there with Happy Bee. Siglight and Abble V, and Ed Gears, who alw ayb has a first-class pacer or two, was prominent, and so was the Historic John Splan. The latter thinks the meeting will bo a great one, as the best horses in the country are here to take part in it. J. H. Goldsmith really has some excellent horses untercd. and extremely fast time will be made by the winners of the various events. The track was nover in better condition, and this pleased tho horsemen particularly. Vesterday some very fast miles were mado. and if rain does not interfere there may be a new record or two Lcm Ulman also ar rived, and, as usual, Iem is full of confidence about fast racing and big crowds. Frank Herdie will likely arrive this morning. Allo- ether the indications are that one of tho est mce meetings ever held in Pittsburg will be the meeting which starts to-morrow. TZNKT WON'T STAET. nis Owner Declines to .Enter Him in Big Sweepstakes at Present. New York, July 12. The efforts of both the Brighton and Morris Park managements to arrange a special sweepstakes has met with a failure owing to the refusal of Ten ny"s owner to let him run. The others were u tiling, and Mr. Pulsifer's consent alone was necessary to complete ho deal, but ho flatly refuses to run. He said to a reporter yesterday that later In the season he might be willing to go in for a race of this kind, but at present his horse had engagements enough to give him all the racing he wants without. matchos or nnvthrng like them. This, of course, puts an end to all hopes for a meeting between the swayback and the Dwycr cracks, yet the Brighton man agement intends to'get up a race of somo sort that will bring tho others together. They will endeavor to got ltncine to come on fbr a few days w hile on his way to Sa ra toga, and if he does the race will be made suitable for his entry. About Oiy Pirates. Tho Pirates have been running in the hardest kind of luck lately. Their pitchers began to show championship form about ten d.iys ago. and it was hoped then that the reum would show its i eal strength. But the friends of tho club were doomed to lurther di'ippoinlinent. The temporary weakness !' ihe infield handicapped the pitchers, and several games were lostthro'.igh unfortunate mlsp'.ays at critical moments by the men at the far side of the diamond. It is not my purpose to criticise thoe players. They tv ere doing their best to help win the games arid played really good ball with the few ex captions referred to. Tho errors happened to occur in close games, where not n point shonW hare been mused. The three Boston deirnta wre attributable more to hard luck than to poor ball plaving. ICing and Bnld vln pitched great bail in tbem and should have been victors instead of vanquished. The pitchers ha e more confluence in their suDport now that Pete Browning no longer covers leit for the team. The.e was un doubtedly antipathy to old Pete among the Pittsburg players. Sporting Times.

Electric Line Not Heady. Captain Kerr, President of the Homowood Driving Park Association, was complaining last evening abont the poor facilities fofll eaching tho track. He said Mr. itagee had'i w promised to have the electric road out to the grounds in shape for the races, but it is not finished. Plenty of omnibuses, how over, will be famished from the railroads and nearest points on the street car lines. HALL AND FITZSIMMONS. lloth Are Heady Tor Their Battle Notes About Their Training. Mikshatolis, Mnir., July 12. The Minne sota Athletic Club Is constructing an amphi theater in a central location, near St. Paul, for the battlo between Bob Fit7.slmmons, of New Zealand, and Jim Hall, of Australia, for $10,090 and the middle-weight championship of America, which is to be fought on July 22. Tho building will hold nearly 8,003 spec tators. There will be reserved seats for newspaper men round the outer ring. Then rows of boxes numbering 120. Outside the boxes will be tho reserved scats. It is ex pected fully 6,000 spectators will Journey hero to witness the fight, for already re served se.itannd boxes have been engaged by sporting men who are coming from tho Pacific Coast, Denver, Leadviile and adja cent cities. It is expected there will be no hitch over the rcterce, as the Minnesota Athletic Club will select a responsible man. Thoro will be a dispute over the gloves us Fitzilmmons is eager to flglit with the Piiicc Gazette cham pion boxing gloves, which Hall may object to. Fitzsinimons admits that Hall is a clever, scientific pugilist, but he is confi dent that lie can not only defeat Hall but nnv 151 pound man In the world. Hali is trainlue at Belolt, VTK Fitzimmons is training at While Boar Lake, near St. Paul. Prof John Donaldson, the first pugilist who engaged in a regular battle with John L. Sullivan, is training Hall, while Charles . Da vies, of Chicago, is looking after the Australian's interests. Fitzimmon' trainer is Dannie Ncedham. the well-known light weight pugilist, and Jimmy Carroll is as sisting. The fight will be managed by the Minnesota Athletic Club. The clnb is or ganized and chartered by the State, and in coiporated. consequently there is no danger of the contest not coming off. SIMPSON SLATJGHTESS SLTJSHEE.

Charley Slusher, formerly of Muldoon' combination and champion lightweight of Kentncky and Kd Simpson, the colored boy who is to meet George Dixon, fought with four-ounce gloves to-day at Wilrter's Park for State champion ship and a $500 purse. Simpson had the best of tho fight all the way through. In tho fourth round Slusher fouled him three times and Simpson's seconds jumped into tho ring and demanded the fight. It was finally awarded to him. Simpson fought at lit pounds and Slusher at 128. The former has received an answer to his challenge to Dixon, the champion agreeing to fight Simpson. He will leave for Old Point Comfort in a few days to go into training.

Marcus Daly denies that he eer ottered that Jockey ?18,0UU lor 18y2, which etlevtallj suurlches another rumor of the day.

MILLIONS TO EUROPE. Americans Spend Fully $100,000,000 Abroad Every Year AT AN EXTBEMELY LOW ESTIHATE. Tliis Is the Primary Cause of the Present Heavy Gold Exports. THE EXPENDITURE NOT WHOLLY LOST rSPECHh TELORAM TO THE DISPATCH.l Nr.w York, July 12. Matthew Marshal reviews the financial and speculative situa tion for the Sim to-morrow as follows: The incoming transatlantic steamers bring with them on each arrival numbers of wealthy and .luxurious Americans who went abroad early in the spring. The old fashion of commencing a summer's tour in Europe in May or June and ending it in September or October is gradually giving way to the new one of going over in Febru ary or March and coming back in June or July. The change has been produced partly by the desire of those who can afford the time to avoid the crowd of less fortunate people, who are limited to the dull season of business for taking their pleasure trips, and partly by the favor shown in London ami Paris fashionable society within the past few years to Americans able and will ing to contribute by their money to its en joyment. "Where formerly a rich American family was content to choose between an excursion to Europe and a season at an American summer resort, it now indulges in both. In fact, for many people, the social year is no longer divided into two parte summer and winter but into four; and consists of a spring in London and Paris, a summer in Newport or Bar Harbor,an autumn at Lenox, Tuxedo, or Hempstead, and only three winter months in jew York. Thcv are, of course, the comparatively few whom for tune has endowed with thenecessarv worldly means, but their number is growing year by year, and their example finds imitators in others of similar tastes and approximate ability. It is a legitimate result of the in creasing wealth of the country, and it marks the progress of luxury which that wealth fosters. millions Expended In Europe. Two months ago, in treating of the gold exports from this country, I called atten tion to the very important item, not men tioned in any official returns, of the money annually expended in Europe by American visitors tand tourists. I computed their number at 90,000, and their passages out and home at $200 apiece, and their expendi tures on the other hide at ?o00 apiece. Thus, allowing only 5700 to each person, I got a total ot ?3,b00,000. It has been pointed out to me that my number should be 100,000 rather than 90,000, and that $500 an an aver age will not cover all that each excursionist spends while he is away. Hotel bills nnd railroad fares alone, I am told, will amount to the $200 which I al lowed, leaving nothing for the clothes, jew elry and pretty things of all kinds which are sure to be picked up. Making onlj" a moderate addition for these omitted items easily brings up the total expenses per head to 51,000. and this, for 100,000 people, is S100,000,000, all of which has to be paid out of the products of labor in this country, and if it is not remitted in the shape of wheat, corn, cotton, tobacco, petroleum and similar articles, it must go as it has gone this year, in thehape ofgold. Discussing It Over Cigars. At the Eocene Club, where, over cigars nml drinks of various kinds, all sorts of topics are discussed, from religion and philosophy down to art and literature, with occasional digressions into stocks and politics, this one of American expenditures in Europe came up lately, while my old acquaintance, John Trump'er, formerly the junior partner of Peter Lalow, and con stituting with nim the eminently solid and respectable stock-broking firm of Lalow & Trumper, was present. Mr. Trumper made his first money in the drygoods trade, and then, drifting into Wall street with his capital, he went into business with Mr. Iilow, nnd for many, years the pair were the trusted advKers and agents in making investments of a select coterie of the richest men ot New York. As I think I have once told my readers, the wealth of the customers who frequented Lalow & Trumper's back office, and there exchanged ideas and information on many matters, caused the place to get the ironical nickname of the "Poor House." But this now is all ancient history. In due time Mr. Lalow died, and Mr. Trumper wisely tier, cided that he had money enough to retire from the fatigues and responsibilities of the business. Still, once in awhile I suspect the old habit comes upon him, and he likes to exercise bis judgment in buying and selling stocks for a rise or a fall, as circum stances influence him. The SInrket Went Against Him. On the occasion spoken of, Mr. Trumper had evidently been speculating for a rise, and the export of gold, by causing a fall in the market, bad rather interfered with his expected profits, for he broke out into a se vere denunciation of the American citizens who were so unpatriotic as to seek pleasure in travel abroad rather than at home, and to employ foreign tailors and dressmakers in stead of having their clothes made in this country. Against those who reside perma nently abroad and spend their entire in comes there, he was especially earnest. He would have them forced to come back and live here, under pain of forfeiting their whole property. The company listened to Mr. Trumper's denunciation with respectful amnsement, for, being notoriously the most generous man alive, he lavishes upon his two hand some married daughters no end of money, a good part, of which they spend on imported dresses and adornments, with the result that they are among the smartest and best gottcn-up women in the city. Nobody is prouder pf them and of the compliments that he hears -made to them shan their father, and we all smiled to think how miicklv he woiild resent the los) of admira tion which would follow their employment of any but the best modistes in Paris and London. " , Should Look to Home. Nor does lie deny them the pleasure of annual trips to those centers of fashion, and what they cost him on those occasions iorms no inconsiderable fraction of the expendi tures he so vigprously denounced. None of us ventured to remind him of this,howevcr, and those -vvlioiliffered with him, of whom I was one. judiciously limited ourselves to supporting our positions by other argu ments than these of his personal example. The views that 1 presented in opposition to Mr. Trumper's were these: "Wealth is not an end in itself, and is worthless except as a means of. procuring enjoyment. A certain- amount of it is, indeed, necessary to be preserved as working capital, and those who impair their capital by spending it for their immediate pleasure, either in their own country or abroad, deserve cen sure. But whether a given amount of ex penditure consitutes an impairment of capital, or is" merely the consuniption of income, is a question which each individual must settle for himself. Since, too, the aggregate capital of a country is the aggre gate of the various little capitals belonging to individuals, it may well be that in cer tain contingencies it would be wise for a nation to legislate against the dissipation of their earnings by individuals, and to enact measures for its repression. " The Example of Ireland. Ireland, for example, suffered at one time severely from the drain upon its wealth by absentee laud owners, nnd if it had been able to compel the reinvestment at home of its annual surplus "wealth it wouhl now be in a much more prosperous condition. So, too, thero wasji period in the history of this connlry when ,laws intended to encourage the retention, of the products of our indus try on our ow.soil and the employment Of them in increasing the machinery of produc tion were, eminently wise. But "this is not the case now. The country is bo rich that it has all the capital it needs for its healthy progress, and the mode and the place of spending its income has ceased to be im portant. Tiie proof of this is found in the low rate of interest at which capital can be borrowed for judicious enterprises, and in the diffi culty of finding safe investments for it. This being so, I cannot see any ground for find ing fault with Americans who prefer to travel or live in Europe rather than in this country, either to buv their clothes and their personal and household ornaments there rather than here. A Trip Abroad Desirable. As to the attractiveness of a European trip, I can testify to it from experience. All my patriotism dbes not blind my eyes to the fact that in Europe natural scenery is as beautiful as it is in America, while its cities, public buildings and works of art afford far more enjoyment than can be procured from the same sources here. About clothing I do not know much, ex cept that I found men's clothing much cheaper in London than they are in New York, and those expert in such matters say that, while the workmanship may not be 'o good, the cut is better. All my ladyfriends, however, declare that London and Paris made gowns are better than any they can buy at home, and I will certify that their wearers are very charming when arrayed in them. Since it is the business of women to make themselves look pretty, and they are responsible for the result, I think'they ought to be allowed to select their own means of adornment, and, since fathers and husbands usuallv have to pay the bills, they ought not to object to the saving that is effected by employing the cheaper foreign dressmakers. Besides this, the indirect advantages to the country from the familiarity of its citizens with Europe are a very considera ble compensation for its cost in money. In ventors and manufacturers pick up the ideas and suggestions which they can turn to good account in their bnsiness; archi tects, decorators and houseowners have their tastes improved, and even in the matter of domestic life every head of a household can get hints which (will prove useful. The transmission of wealth from genera tion to generation in the same families has developed in Europe habits which con tribute greatly to the pleasure of life, and our newly enriched people had much better profit by their experience than waste time in learning for themselves. The money spent in European travel is, there fore, not lost, and that which we get in re turn for it, if not visible to the eye, makes itself felt in the increased enjoyment of life which it produces. HALF-HOLIDAY HILARITY Sends a Good Sprinkling of Festive Cele brators to the Station Houses Gist of the Sunday Morning Police Hearings Several Stiff Sentences. Police Magistrates had little to vary the usual Sunday morning cases at yesterday's hearings. A large proportion of the prison ers were those whom the Saturday half holidav had found itching to to get drunk. Quite a number of them will go without a holiday for some weeks. Sentences at Central. There were only 19 cases to be heard be fore Magistrate Gripp at Central station, but out of that number lie gave eight workhonso sentences. Mnry Finnefrog, an old offender, recently released from the workhouse, got a three months' sentence. She had been drunk and was found In a hallway. Frank Butler had entered a house occupied by a colored family on Second avenue and created a disturbance. He wns very Impudent to tho Magistrate, saving that if sent to the Work house, ho would get out in a few days on a writ, and he didn't caro what he got. The Magistrate said but little In reply four months but It will probably mean a great deal to Butler. Catherine Cochrane, Just out ntter serving CO days in the Workhonse, had been arrested for being drunk, disorderly and begging money from men on Old ave nue, sne win go oacK ior 30 aays. Joseph Lambert and John Bj'nn, waiters at Carr Bros.', were on tho street having a stand-off light when arrested. They got 30 days each, but will probably pay the alter native fine before tho workhouse train pulls out this morning. Joseph Little went home to supper at 5 o'clock Saturday night, but his wife had not expected him until S;30 nnd supper was not ready. This so enraged him that he began throwing dishes at her. A plate struck her In the face cutting her badlv. She appeared against him and he got 30 days or a $10 fine. She relented and paid the flno. Dan Mclntyro approached Detective Conlson. who was engaged in con versation with a couplo of gentlemen on Fifth avenue on Saturday evening, and ad dressed some very filthy language to tho officer. He made no defense to tho magis trate nnd got a 90-days' sentence. Mlchnol Smith, arrested for being drunk and disor derly on Old avenue by Officer Devlin, fought and bit the officer nil the way to tho patrol box. He had abused a drunken woman pievlously. A 93-days' sentence was im posed. Southside Sinners. Magistrate Snccop had some very ugly cases to handle at the Twenty-eighth Ward station. John Ayers, a married man with a family, had been arrested on a serious charge. He was held for trial at court. Edw ard Doran was charged with assaulting his mother. The mother testified that her son came home on Saturday night and de manded 50 cents', and because it was re fused him lie knocked her down and kicked her. fracturing her ribs. The prisoner was sent to the. workhouse for 60 days. Joseph Keenun was accused of kicking in the door of his mother-in-law's house. He wns fined $25 and costs.

The Emperor William Says Goodby to the Queen of England. ROYAL BANQUET IJf THE MARBLE HALL Paris, July 12. A council of Ministers was held at the Elysee Palace yesterday to discuss the rescinding of the decree against American pork. 31. Develle, the Minister of Agriculture, advocated the withdrawal of prohibitions. He asked 3L Constans if the Ministers doubted the expediency of directing the Superior Council of Hygiene to make an examination and report on the subject. M. Constans and M. Itibot also favored rescinding the decree. It was agreed to refer the matter to the Council of Hygiene. United States Minister Reid is pressing for a prompt decision in the matter, if pos sible, before the adjournment of the Cham ber of Deputies, now expected within 10 days. M. Viger, deputy chairman of the sub committee on customs, says the Superior Council of Agriculture will also consider the question. He is a member of the Coun cil, which has been supplied with informa tion as to the United States meat inspection regulations and says he will do what lie can to have the decree abolished. Dr. Pietra Santa, Secretary of the Society of Hygiene, a different body from the official Council of Hvgiene, but having much influence there, joins in the efforts to rescind the prohibi tion. The reports received here that the Ger man Government is about to withdraw the prohibition in Germany ought to hasten French action. At a meeting to-day of 400,000 railway employes, held in the Winter Circus, it was resolved that if the Paris-Orleans Company refused the demands of its workmen by Tuesday there will be a general strike of the five great railway companies.

OUGHT TO BE SERVING TIME IN THE PENITENTIARY, SATS A NOTICE ABOUT A PREACHER. He WasAccnsed of Grossly Immoral Con- ductjand Turned Out of the Advent Church He Is Preaching; to His Follow ers In a Hired Hall. rSFECIAI, TELEOBAM TO THE DISPATCH. New Havex, July 12. There is a fight in the Beers Street Advent Church. Last April the Rev. A. S. "Withington, of "Wor cester, Mass., was engaged for a year. He was a popular minister and a powerful ex horter. The church was congratulating it self, when somebody started a story that while in "Worcester he had been guilty of embezzlement, that he had deserted his wife, and, finally, that he had yielded to the temptations of women. A committee wns appointed to go to "Worcester. It went, aud soon came back determined to make short work of the pastor. The Rev. Mr. "Withington, when confronted with the charges, was overcome, and promised the committee to resign at once, provided that they would be lenient with him. He went to Providence, but his trouble followed him there, for the Beers Street Church sent letters there telling all they knew. Notwithstanding the work of the Investi gating Committee, a large faction of the church did not want Mr. "Withington to go, and is determined to have him back. The "Withington faction assert that it is not the pastor's conduct that has caused his perse cution and dismissal, but that the real trouble was a sermon he recently preached which touched some of the members in tender places. Unable to reinstate him in the Beers street pulpit, his followers have secured a hall on Gofic street for him, and at the prayer meeting on Friday night it was an nounced that Brother "Withington was com ing back to the city to vindicate himself, and would preach to-day. The anti-Withington men were thunderstruck when they heard the announcement. A. D. Sanborn, a prominent politician and a pillar of the church, wrote the follow ing notice, which hasbcen circulated: "Hav ing heard that a few disaffected and mis guided persons have engaged A. S. With ington to preach to-morrow, I think it is a duty I owe to the public to let them know who he is. He has been expelled from the Advent Church for grossly immoral conduct, and ought to be serving his time in the penitentiary instead of being allowed to de ceive the public under the garb of a minis ter of the gospel. A word to the wise is sufficient." A big crowd listened to Mr. Withington to-day and the result of the contest is in doubt. AVENGED THEIE H0THEB.

Jtllvl2. This mnmlnr, at 1 o'clock a disastrous cave-in occurred at the Old Slope ol tlie Kingston Coal Com pany, near LarKeville, five miles from this city, and the inhabitants of that village, which is built directly over the mine, were in great fear of their lives and their prop erty. The cave was caused by the snapping of the old timbers in the slope directly under the fanhouse, where the surface sank so suddenly that the upward rush of the air lifted the roof off the fanhouse, depositing it within 100 feet of the opening. For hun dreds of feet in all directions the surface is covered with large seams and cracks, some of them a foot wide and extending down into the workings. A number of houses in the vicinity are damaged. A dozen men were at work in the mines at the time, but they all escaped through a second opening. MURDERED HIS BROTHER. THE VICTIM WAS AN EX-CONVICT AND STARTED TnE FATAL FRACAS. Five Bullets Find Their Mark In a Quarrel Which Was the Culmination of a Long Fnmlly Feud Refused Feed for His norse. tSPECIAL TEr.EGBAM TO TIIE DISPATCH. Butler, July 12. News reached here to day of a terrible tragedy committed about four miles south of this place on Saturday evening, the principal actors in the affair being two brothers named Mininger. Ten years ago Adam Mininger married and settled on the old homestead in Penn township, and his brother John, his senior by four years, took up his residence with him. The relations between Adam's family and that of John soon became un pleasant, and numerous quarrels be tween the brothers resulted. Seven years ago John was arrested for steal ing Adam's horse, was tried, con victed and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. At the "expiration of his term of imprisonment John returned to Adam's house, and, promising to lead a better life, was again taken into the family. All went well ior a time, but finally trou ble again arose and John was told to leave. He went over to the little village of Great Belt, about three miles distant, and engaged in the junk business, driving a horse which Adam had bought for him. He did not cross the threshold of Adam's house, nor appear on the premises for over a year. On Saturday evening he drove out from Butler in his one-horse wagon, stopped at his brother's place, and tied his horse. He met Adam at the gate and informed him he intended feeding his horse in the stable. To this the brother objected, reciting the old troubles, and insisting that John go to his own home and feed his horse. John resented this inhospitable reception and denounced Adam in vigorous terms, threatcning'him with personal violence and finally catching him by the collar. At this Adam whipped out a revolver and began firing at his brother, three shots being dis charged before John fell. He was on his feet in a moment only to receive two more shots. Although bleeding profusely and dazed by the wounds, John succeeded in getting over the fence and into the yard of William Anderson and started for the house, which was about 30 rods distant. Anderson saw him coming covered with blood, and having heard the shots, ran out and assisted him into the house. Bv the time John reached the porch, he was in a perfectly helpless condition. Dr. Headland, of Butler, was sent for and examined his wounds, ascer taining that every bullet had struck him, and it was wonderful that he was not in stantly killed. One" bullet pierced John's left breast, just above the heart, and has not yet been dis lodged; another struck him on the top of the forehead, and tore the scalp to the crown. Immediately back of his left ear, a bullet had struck and flattened against the skull; another bullet passed through the back of his neck and still another had lacerated his throat. At 9o'cIock to-day he was still living, but with his chances of recovery almost impos sible. Adam rode into Butler between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning and delivered himself up to County Detective Allen, not for getting to bring the revolver with him. Having done this, Adam said he thought the officer should permit him to return home, but instead he was promptly locked np in jail. He said he had received many threat ening letters from his brother, and that he believed he would have been killed had he not pursued the course he did. The pris oner is 30 years of age, and has a wife living but no children. In conversation he shows a fair degree of intelligence, but does not appear to imagine that lie has done anything for which he should be restrained of his -liberty. He is well to do, and has always lived peaceably with his neighbors. Jonn has a wife and children. MTJEDERED HIS WIFE. Tho Woman Killed by a Fiendish Husband in Her Father's House. SPECIAL TELEGEAM TO THE DISPATCH. Kansas City, July 12. Charles H.

Mayfield, where he lived with his wife, and after a brief quar rel drew a revolver and fired four shots at her. Only one took effect. It entered the left temple and penetrated the brain. She fell to the floor and died almost instantly. Lily Mayfield, the 17-year-old sister of the murdered woman, was present. TEESOE-STBICKEK AUD DE0WKED.

An electrician, who is a lazy fisherman, has invented a new fishing contrivance. His line is a flexible wire, ruhber covered, the hook being insulated with rubber tape, excepting a small section near the barb. "A battery and condenser are connected in the boat, one side of the latter being grounded by a plate in the water, while the other is connected to the spindle of the boat. As soon as the fish nibbles he pulls down a cap closing the circuit, and receives the contents of the condenser, thus paralyzing, if not killing him outright. The fish will then float to the surface and can b landed in a scoop net. VIKTUE OF BERMUDA ONIONS. Actor Florence Tells How a Sick Man Can Become Sound as a Dollar.

While Whooping Up a Chorus HelsFitched Overboard From a Steambo.it His Mother and Friends Were Mourning His Death Wtien Ho Jleappeared. TSPECIAL TELIGEA3I TO THE DISPATCH.l ( New York, July 12. The apple woman who has a stand near the south ferry read in a newspaper to-day that a young friend of hers, Andrew Urcnnan, had committed suicide by jumping into the river from the j steamboat John Sylvester on Saturday j night. She was lamenting his untimely fate when she was thrown into a perspira tion by a vision. She crossed herself and I prayed for the protection of the saints. The j vision held up a copy of a newspaper and! said: "Do I look like I have been drowned? This is a pretty thing to put in the paper about a man." The apple woman became calm. She recognized the vision as Brennan in the flesh, and asked him how he got out of the river. He said that he had fallen over-" board while leaning or sitting on the aft rail of the John Sylvester and that he had swum to Governors Island. He was sitting on the railing astern when the boat was about a quarter ot a mile off Governors Island. He was singing, and as he whooped up the last words of a chorus his feet went up and he fell backward into the water. He said to-day: "It seemed as if I trod water for an hour to-day out there in the dark while that steamboat was going away from me. AVhcn I saw that they were making no effort to save me I struck out for Governors Inland." Private John Brigg, United States Army, was walking his post on that side of the island. He notified the guard that somebody was swimming that way, and Frank Sanford, of Battery H, met the stranger as he struck the island almost exhausted. Brennan was put into dry blankets and put to bed in Castle William. After breakfast this morning he took the first boat for the city. He found his mother on the doorstep. She had not slept since -the other boys had told her Andrew was drowned. She nearly fainted when he approached her. His sisters punched his ribs until they were satisfied that he was no ghost, and great were the rejoicings. 0-'' MOTHERS! jou Turkish rut Boy, -VYcr DuTj R.E5V That's it, exactly; you fur nish the boy, we do the rest, You furnish the boy, and we furnish him with what?
