'Tr'-f Pi fJ5 vwBy ;."iwr"?-SHp-5 THE PITTSBUHG DISPATCH. FRIDAY APRIL 1. 1892. TOTELLALLTO-DAY. Bayacliol, tlie Arch Anarchist of Paris, to Make a Clean Breast of It. HIS ACCOMPLICE CAUGHT. Murder, Counterfeiting and Bobbery Confessed on the Stand. THE SOISSY ROBBERY PLANNED. The Fiend's Butcheries 'Are as Heartless as QLose of Teeming. SEWS FROM THE EUEOPEAX CAHTALS Paris, March 31. It is stated that Rav achol will be tried lor murder at Mont Brison. He has a black ere and is covered with bruises, which injuries he received while resisting arrest. His accomplices, no longer tearing revenge, readilv consent to reveal what they know about Ravachol. They say that he glorified in the murder of two women who kept a wine shop near Saint Etienne; that he boasted of having supped In a room where their corpses lay, cutting his food with the bloody knife with which he had murdered them. It was reported late to-night that Gustav Mathieu, Kavachol's most dangerous accom plice, has been arrested. Kavachol is now volnble-in his cell. He speaks most fluent ly, although he is not an educated mau. He promises to reveal everything to-morrow. The police have learned from inform ers that Kavachol planned the Soissy rob bery and proposed to kill everybody met on the way to the dynamite depot who was likely to bear witness against them. The accomplices opposed Mm, however, and the idea as dropped. Why lie May Be Tried for Murder. Kavachol carried the bomb used in the Boulevard St. Germain, and placed it in position, leaving the house only a few sec onds beiore the explosion. The supposition that he will be tried for murder is due'to a belief that the evidence of attempts to murder by causing explosions is too weak to send him to the guillotine. The police state that he will, in any case, be first tried for causing the explosions. The Anarchist prisoners who were con cerned in the explosions in the Boulevard StGcrmain and at the Lobau Barracks have made a detailed confession. They say that Kavachol was concerned in a murder and robbery at Mont Brison, by which he real ized 4,000 franc He cave the bulk of the money to a'vociates in St Etienne, drawing sumsiUien icquired for dynamiting pur poses. Kavachol assisted in stealing and burying the dynamite taken lrom the fac tory at Soissy, declare the informers. Chaumartin asks to be sentenced to im prisonment, as lie tears assassination if released. Kavachol's examination, which was held last night, occupied five hours. It chiefly related to his past life, and he was sub jected to a string of questions revealed that he was a greater villain than even the police supposed. tCon'essed Some Crlxne( Denied Others. He confessed the murder of the old her mit of Notre Dame de Grace. He denied the murders of an old man servant at Vari zelle in 1S85, and his former wife in 1888. His denial of these crimes, however, was not very strong, and manv discrepancies appeared in his replies in relation to them: The police are confident they will yet discover evidence showing that he killed both those persons. Some time ago an old man was killed with an ax which belonged to the victim. The murderer stole a sum of money and a quantity of valuables, and eliected his es cape. Kavachol was questioned as to this crime, and here, too, his denial was very weak. He admitted that he was a grave yard ghoul, and told of a number of graves that he had robbed. "When the police searched his lodgings yesterday they fonnd, among other evidences of his criminal oper ations, a set of counterfeiters' tools. When questioned regarding the possession of these unlawful belongings he coolly acknowl edged that he belonged to a gang of coun terfeiters, but he persistentlv refused to make any admission that would lead to the detection of his confederates. The Paris Echo to-day states that Kava chol has admitted that he was the author of the Boulevard St. Germain explosion. Betrayed by an Accomplice. The chief detective asserts that Chau martin, an accomplice of Kavachol, who is now under arrest, betrayed his leader, and told the police that Kavachol intended to blow up the house ot M. Buiot, one of the prosecuting counsel in the recent Anarchist trials. M. Bulot's residence, it will be re called, was at No. 39 Hue Clichy, the scene of the destructive explosion on Sunday morning last. Kavachol lived nt St. Mande, near the wood of Vincenne, four miles southeast of Paris. He was seen going to rnris Sunday morning, carrying with him a small portmanteau. Kavachol is watched in prison night and day by detectives. He is the illegitimate son of German parents, and was born in France. It is now acknowledged on all sides that the police had good reason to believe that he would make a desperate resistance against arrest, and those who condemned them for not arresting him some days ago now admit that the police were right in not attempting to effect his capture until they had made sure there was no chance of fiis escaping them. Kavachol Deemed Very Ills Game. The Government looks on the arrest of Kavachol as of the greatest importance, not only in that it has thrown into its hands a man already condemned to death for murder, but in that it is believed that his capture will put an end to the dynamite outrages in Pans. No doubt is entertained that he is a most dangerous criminal, and his incarcera tion has removed a great source of trouble and uneasiness. The Government has rewarded, or intends to reward, everyone in any way connected with the making of the arrest. The pro prietor of the wineshop at the corner of Kne Lancey and the Boulevard Magenta, in whose place Kavachol was captured, and the waiter who notified the police that Kava chol was in the wineshop, receive a reward of 1,000 francs. The man who made the ar rest will be decorated with the ribbon of the Legion ot Honor, and the sir gendarmes who assisted him will receive medals and will be promoted for the share they took In effecting the capture cf the notorious Anarchist. The recent raids made upon the lodgings of the Anarchists, aad the arrest of so many members of that party, has had the effect of somewhat frightening them. Anarchists ''retry Well Cowed. As a rule, those who are still at liberty no longer make loud threats in public of the great damage and destruction they in tendto cause. It is believed that several Anarchists who expected that the police would search their lodgings have sought to rid themselves of all evidence that would connect them with the dynamite conspiracy. The police have reason to think that some of these men.who are Known to mem, nave miifnu uiu imc Seine laree quantities of stolen dynamite and a number of infernal machines, in their efforts to escape capture for having these articles in their possession fomnlawlul pur poses.

The strike of the miners in Durham, which began March 12, will probably be prolonged a fortnight longer. The coal shipping trade of Sunder land, Seapam Harbor and Hartlepool is entirely suspended. The trade on the Tyne has been greatly curtailed in consequence of the strike, and the iron and steel trade is at a standstill. Seventy furnaces in Middlcsborough have stopped operations. Thousands of workmen at Stockton are idle owing to the scarcity of fuel. At yester day's meeting of the Board of Poor Law Guardians, it was reported that hundreds of people were in a starving condition. Relief works for the benefit of the unem ployed have been opened. A compromise has been effected by which a strike affecting 80,000 miners in South Wales and Monmouthshire has been averted. The trouble grew out of a threatened reduc tion. The Federation Board of the Dur ham miners has asked the Coal Owners Asso ciation to withdraw its notices and allow the men to resume worlc The Coal Owners' Association, in reply, informed the Federa tion that the resumption of work by the men must be accompanied by a settlement of the wage question, either by agreement or arbitration. blHKELSPIEL BLAMES A CREDITOR He Admits lie Gambled, bnt Merely as a Matter of Investment. London, March 31. William Dinkel spiel, the American insurance man, whose failure with liabilities of 27,000, and assets not worth 2, was announced yesterday, blames a Mr. Dcpinto, one of his London creditors, to whom he owes 520, for his misfortune. Dinkelspiel says: Depin to had a receiving order made against me for X500, when the other creditors agreed to i pi lvate arrangement. Depinto was con stantly my guest. Ho dined at my table and claimed to be inv friend. It appears to me that hi action was due simply to his desire to obtain revenge for a supposed insult to his family by failure to speak to his sister-in-law at a partv. True, I lived high, but 1 had to live up to rov class of business. Mv gambling was all done in my own house. It was practicallv nothing but an investment.

The protest declares that the people of Ulster have an unchangeable distrust of and hostility to an Irish legislative assem bly and expresses their determination to take no part in its proceedings, to offer re sistance to its laws and to appeal to the English and Scotch electors not to commit the two Irelands to a struggle that will be disastrous to both.

Will, of this city, says he believes the war balloons from whibh the Germans have been observing the Eussian fortifications and armies, are his own invention.

The German Government, he states, kept his plans long beyond the time set for their return in case of rejection, and a few weeks alter they were sent back to him the news that the novel balloons were hover ing over Russia was received. He asserts that he is convinced the Germans have ap propriated an American invention without giving either credit or price for it. BLAND ON CLOTURE. Free Silver's Champion Explains What is Much Misunderstood. HE DOESN'T CRITICISE MR. CRISP For Doing What the Fnles of the Present Congress Demand. INTERESTING ITEMS FROM THE CAPITAL Washington, March 31. Representa tive Bland, the champion of free silver in the House, in conversation with a reporter to-day, expressed the opinion that consider able misunderstanding existed throughout the country on the subject of the proposed "cloture rule," which a large number of the Democratic members ot the House asked to have adopted to expedite action on the sil ver bill. Mr. Bland said: "The difficulty we have had with the silver bill is an ap parent misunderstanding as to the real nature of the rule that the Speaker had in tended to report to the House. It is not a cloture rnle further than it is In aid of the previous question. "The previous question is the cloture rule of the House. We have had It for over 50 years. There is no cloture rule in the Senate. The rnle proposed to be reported to pass the silver bill was simply a rule made to prevent filibustering by declaring it to be out of order for the Speaker to en tertain filibustering motions. The standing rule thai we have adopted gives to the Committee on Kules the power in this way to stop filibustering. That is to say, the Committee on Kules reports a rule to the House providing that pending a proposi tion on which the House wishes to come to a vote the Speaker is absolutely prohibited from entertaining filibustering motions. When this rule is reported the House itself must adopt it or reject it, so that it is the House that must determine whether or not the House wishes to stop filibustering. The Difference Between Bales. "The difference between this rule and the rules of the last Congress is that the rules of the Fifty-first Congress gave to the Speaker himself the absolute power tore fuse to entertain a dilatory motion. The rules of the Fifty-first Congress Vested this power in the Speaker. The rules of this Congress vest this power in the House it self. But the House cannot act upon it without the report from the Committee on Rules. It seems that enemies of the silver bill, after ascertaining that the Speaker in tended to report a rule to prevent filibus tering, raised a hue and cry against cloture. A great many of our members, be ing new members, were misled as to its actual nature? Since the matter is over, I have learned to my satisfaction that the Speaker was beset by a good many members who had voted for free coinage, and they told him they would not vote for such a rule. Con sequently he was apprehensive thnt the ma jority of his own party would vote against him. In view of this fact he changed his mind and refused to report a cloture rule until a majority asked for it. I criticised his action very severelv, but did so without full information as to the true situation. I do not censure him at this time tor his action. When Filibustering Ran Mad. ' "During Mr. Carlisle's administration as Speaker filibustering became so common that it was impossible to pass a bill where a few active opponents filibustered against it and nearly every bill of importance was fili bustered against, it was a notable tact that General Weaver, of Iowa, then a member of the House, acting alone prevented the transaction of any business in the House for three or four days, until the Speaker and the House and the country were dis gusted with the scene. The Democrats then realized the necessity of some rule by which filibustering could "be prevented by the House, and had the Kepublicans in the Fifty-first Congress gone no further than our Tules go now, the Democrats could not have reasonably objected to them." CHICAGO WANTS M0EE HELP. She Now Asks That Uncle Sam Keep Her Little Blver In Repair. "Washington, March 31. A delegation of Chicago railroad and steamboat men, romposed of T. T. Morford, J. S. Dunham and Hugh McMillan, argued before the House Committee on Elvers and Harbors this morning in favor of a proposition to repeal the law of 1890, which exempted the Government from any supervision over the improvement of the Chicago river, and left it to the care of the city. The delegation asserted that the bridges and docks along the river front were constantly encroaching upon the chan nel and blocking traffic, and that it fre quently happened that one steamer dis charging or loading cargo would interfere greatly with the passage of other craft. It was argued that this had been going on for years, and that the Government should take a band in the matter and prevent this inter ference to commerce and trade. Tbe delegation also thought the Govern ment should provide for dredging the river in certain places, and stated that many of the dock owners had to dredge in front of their property every year, in order to have sufficient depth of water. MEXICAN FRIENDS OF GARZA Who Live In Texas and Sympathlzs With the Outlaw's Campaign. Washington, March 3L General Stan ley, commanding the Department of Texas, has made a report to General Schofield in regard to the case of Captain J. G. Bourke, Third Cavalry, from which it appears that the charges against that officer in connec tion with the Garza campaign were pre ferred by Mexican citizens, who, although residing in Texas, disavowed any allegiance to the United States, and, notwithstanding this fact, and the further fact that they aided and abetted Garza's band in the in surrection against the Mexican Government, assert that they are entitled to the protec tion of this Government General Stanley added that these men were now being pros ecuted by the civil authorities of Texas for violation of the neutrality laws. General Schofield said this afternoon that he had submitted the case to the Secretary of War, with the recommendation that no action be taken by the militarv authorities with regardto the charges against Captain Bourke until after the conclusion of civil proceedings against his accusers.

A WONDERFUL WOMAN WHO HEALS BY LAYING ON OF HANDS. Her Patients Call Her a Saint She Takes No Fay for Her Services, and Is Kept Busy All the Time Theresa Urrea, a Female Molliriger. Gtjyamas, Mexico, March 30 Special It has now been nearly four months since the reports began reaching here of the mi raculous cures of all diseases effected by a young Mexican woman, Theresa TJrren, who lives on the Santa de Cabera ranch, about 150 miles west of here, in the heart of the Sierra Madre range of mountains. The nearest town to her home is Trinidad, some 15 miles. She cures by the simple laying on of hands, and is called a saint by the thousands of ignorant Mexicans and Indians who have learned her wonderful powers. She was visited by The Dispatch cor respondent three weeks ago. The scene at the humble ranch home baffles description. Living in improvised jacals and tents all along the mountain side from Trinidad to the wonderful woman's home were thousands of decrepit, diseased and haggard looking Mexicans who were patiently await ing their turn to be cured of their re spective afflictions. Saint Theresa, as she is called, is 17 years of age, has a strikingly beautiful face, straight bbek hair, and w as dressed in the plainest kind of a woolen-garb. She stated that she was 'first' made aware of her won derful power five months ago, and while she firmlv believes it is a divine gift, yet she is at a Toss to account lor it being given to her any more Jban to any one else. She per forms her miraculous cures by merely placing her hand on the head of the person afflicted, and giving the command to arise and depart in health. A stream of unfortunate sick people poured through her room during The Dis patch correspondent's visit, among them being men and women afflicted with rheu matism and many cripples. All who have submitted themselves to her magic treatment claim to have been instantly cured. Three cases of leprosy and seven of smallpox are among those which the strange woman claims to have cured. She will ac cept no money or gifts of any kind in pay ment for her services. The whole States of Sonora and Chihuahua are excited over the unexplained power which Theresa TTrrea seems to possess. A TEXAS TRAGEDY. Honston Shocked by an Awfnl Crime Two Well-Known Women Murdered by a Worthless Son Suicide Supposed to Have Been His Choice. Houston, Tex., March 31. Mrs. Anna Shaw, an aged lady, Mid her widowed sis ter, Mrs. Johnson, have resided at 274 Prairie street for a long time. Mrs. John son was a teacher In the public schools. With them lived Walter E. Shaw, son of the former lady, a young lawyer about 35 years old. The young man has never done any good for himself, giving up his time to dissipation. Last night at 8 o'clock Shaw was at home with the family. This morn ing at 9 o'clock some neighbors who went to visit the ladies found both of them dead on the dining room floor. Mrs. Shaw's throat was cut from ear to ear, while her sister's was slashed through the jugular to the windpipe. In an adjoin ing room was found the bloodv razor, all hacked to pieces, with which the worst tragedy ever known in Houston was com mitted. Beside a washbowl filled with bloody water was a half-smoked cigarette with bloody finger imprints upon it. Young Shaw, the son and nephew, is missing. This morning E. W. Shaw, printer, saw "a mau jump from the San Jacinto bridge into the Buffalo river, and it Is supposed this man was Shaw. The city is wild with excitement, and if Shaw has not suicided he will be lynched as soon as caught. Dynamite is being used to resurrect the body in the bayou, while the country is being scoured. The family is one of -the oldest and most respected in Texas, having a wide connection. An examination of the premises shows that all the doors had been unlocked with bloody hands, and all the drawers had been burst open, supposedly for the purpose of robberv. TROLLEYS WIN OUT. The Quaker City Mayor Vetoes the Ordi nance, bat It's Fassed Over His Head. Philadelphia, March 31. The ordi nance granting permission to the traction company to operate their street, car lines by the trolley system was vetoed this after noon by Mayor Stewart. The ordinance was passed over the Mayor's veto in Select Council by a vote of 25 to 10; in Common Council by a vote of 76 to 31. No measure in municipal legislation in recent years called forth as much interest and action by all classes of citizens as this ordinance. Most of the newspapers and many of the trade organizations and prom inent business men vehemently opposed it. It was contended thnt the overhead poles and wires used in the trolley system are not only unsightly, but a menace to life as well. In addition, many were, opposed to the fiassage of the ordinance on the ground that t granted too great privileges to the trac tion company without the city reaping a fair advantage from them. FIGHT TILL THE LAST la to Be Waged Against the Cleveland-Pattison People IN THE GREAT KEYSTONE STATE. The Opposition Confident It's Whipped, hut Won't Surrender. GROYER'S STRENGTH IN MINNESOTA SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO TIDE DISPATCH. Philadelphia, March 3L The Demo cratic State Convention will be held in Harrisburg, Wednesday, April 13. While it is pretty- generally conceded that the Cleveland-Pattison, or State administration element of the party, will easily control the convention, the opposition will endeavor to make some something of a show until the last The State convention will consist of 463 delegates, of whom 365 have already been elected. The State administration people claim not less than 275 of those already elected, and believe they will elect at least 80 of those yet to be chosen. In support of the latter claim they invite attention to the reports of the 14 counties that have not yet selected delegates. Among the moat deci sive of their victories they point to the re sult in Dauphin county, where the friends of Postmaster B. P. Meyers were badly de feated; and to Franklin county, where some of the most bitter of Governor Pattison's enemies reside and are in control of the or gamgation. Candidates for tbe Honors.

For election as delegates at large there are many candidates, although it is believed that there will be comparatively few when the convention meets. William M. Sin gerly, of Philadelphia county, and State Senator George Ross, of Bucks county, will be likely to be supported by the delegates from Ea'stern Pennsylvania, including those of Philadelphia. Senator Ross is known to be in line with the State administration element of the partv, and will receive its support. Attornev General Hensel has been urged to be a candidate fordelegate at large. It is claimed by those who ought to know that he will certainly be elected if he should be a candidate.

Cleveland Decides to Help Ont His friends In the State. PEoyiDENCE, R. L, March 31. Both Re publicans and Democrats claim that next Wednesday will give them the victory, and the campaign is being prosecuted in a more energetic manner than has been witnessed in this State since the overturn of the Re publicans in 1887. The Democrats are very enthusiastic over the visit of ex-President Cleveland, while the Republicans, by bringing Messrs. McKinley and Reed here, evidently are not overconfident that their protection has been grasped so fully by the voters as would indicate sure success for Senator Aldrich's aspirations. Ex-President Cleveland will reach this city Satur day on the 3:15 p. m. express from New York, and will be escorted to the Opera House, where a rally will be held, and ex Governor Campbell, of Ohio, and Congress man William L.

EMMA FOX SHOOTS HERSELF BECAUSE OF UNREQUITED LOVE. She Was Infatuated With Birdie Boale, a Girl Who Didn't Love Her Another Alice Mitchell Case, This Time Near Altoona. Altoona, Maroh 31. Special The mystery surrounding" the shooting of Emma Fox, on Gospel Hill, last night, was solved to-day. Miss Emma Fox, some months ago, became acquainted with the family of Mr. George Boale, who then resided on Broad street, and took a great liking for Mr. Boale's daughter, Miss Birdie, being in her company on every available occasion. Some time ago, when the family of Mr. Boale was stricken with diphtheria and scarcelv any one would go near them, Miss Fox cared faithfully for her friend. After all the family had either died or recovered from the disease, the girl at times spent several days with them, and although the companionship of the two girls never ripened into close friendship on Miss Boale's part, it is said that Miss Fox was never entirely happy or appeared satisfied unless she was in her company. She seemed to be perfectly infatuated with her. At length Mr. Boale forbade his daughter to accompany Miss Fox on the street, but she continued to call at his house, and no matter where Miss Boale would go, Miss Fox was likely to meet and accompany her home. This state of affairs continued until last evening, when Miss Boale and a sister-in-law had been downtown nnd were return ing home. They noticed they were being followed, and were soon joined by Miss Fox, who drew a revolver and said: "Birdie, here I go for the last time," fired one shot and fell to the ground in the agonies of death. The two women screamed and ran around to the back door of their home. In a short time persons came running to the scene and found Miss Fox lying on the ground unconscious, while the weapon with which the deed had been committed, a 32 caliber revolver, was lying on the ground a short distance away. Physicians were summoned, and the am bulance called, but she died in a few minutes without regaining consciousness. The Coroner's jury to-day rendered their verdict of suicide, assigning no cause for the deed. A CAB EXPLOSION. Thrilling Experience or the Passengers on an Erie Train in Ohio. Lima, O., March 31. Passengers on the west-bound Erie train had a thrilling ex perience last night The train had just left New Portage, and the conductor on his fare collecting trip opened a closet door to see If there was anyone inside. As soon as he thrust his lantern in an explosion occurred which hurled him backward, badly burning and otherwise injuring him. The coach im mediately took fire, the flames spreading rapidly. Before the train was stopped the whole coach and one of the sleeping cars were in flames. Passengers barely escaped, losing their personal effects which were in the two cars, both of which were entirely consumed. It is supposed one of the gas reservoirs in the closet sprang a leak.

DENSE FOGS CAN BE SCATTERED. A Pittsburg Inventor Dissipates the Super saturation Theorj. NAVIGATION WILL BE MADE M0EE SAFE New York, March 3L A wide-awake inventor has discovered a means of over coming fog. The fog has always been the greatest enemy of the mariner, the ona which he has never been able to control. It makes the huge steamship as helpless as a dory. It is the one element of danger in ocean voyages with which human ingenuity has thus far been unable to cope. This inventor is now in New York per fecting the details. Experiments were made last week at Sandy Hook and- have been made in Boston harbor. These were eonducted with the greatest secrecy because the application for patients has not yet been filed at Washington. The result of thescexperiments was perfectly satisfactory, apd if this be thoroughly demonstrated there are big fortunes in the scheme. The man representing the business end of the fog annihilator Is M. E. Johnson. He inherited a large sum of money and has turned it to good account His home was in Pittsburg. For many years, however, hf has been a bird of passage. Force In an Electrical Discharge. He has spent much of his time in London and returned to this country only three months ago. While in New York he stays at the Murray Hill Hotel. Mr. Johnson has been interested in a number of inven tions. He made a large sum ot money out of a chemical refrigerator among other things. The inventor is a man who keeps altogether in the backgtound. Mr. John son, however, described the result of the experiments. "The force nsed," he said, "is a form of electrical discharge. The eflect is in direct ratio to the intensity of the foe; that is, the denser the fog the more easily it is aflected by discharge. The consequence is that with a dense fog a larger area can be cleared with the release ot the same amount of energy. There is no electric spark to be seen, and no detonation or explosion accompanies the discharge." Continuing, he said: The largest area we have been able to practically clear by one discharge has been 70,600 square feet, nearly two acres, which is approximately 150 feec in every direction from tbe site of the discbarge. This was done in Boston harbor. With greater energy, such as will readily be obtained on ocean steamships, many times that area can b cleared. Foe Will Fall in the Form of Bain. The foz falls in the form of rain. Thoat. mosphere of the cleared area is exceedingly clear, ust as it is after a shower in summer. The'periodof absolute absence from fog is merelv momentary in duration. The fog immediately begins to lorin again and to drift in from surrounding areas. This takes place so rapidly that within five minutes the original condition prevails. In our ex periments in Boston Harbor, seven minutes elapsed before the fog reformed. It Is, of course, impossible to obliterate the fog, but by a succession of discharges at intervals of two minutes it keeps the area I have re ferred to practically clear. Therefore, In the immediate neighborhood of the particu lar steamer from which the discharges are made, no fog exists. Now, in order to understand this new dis covery, it is necessary to know something about fogs. A fog is a body of aqueous vapor in the atmosphere, like clouds, but distinguished from them both by its posi tion and Its manner of formation. A large class of clouds result from the diminution of temperature produced by the elevation and expansion of moist air, and a small class is due rather to tbe cooling of the air by radiation in a horizontal direction to bodies of cooler air; while axaln, a very im portant class arise from the radiation of heat vertically into the cold Interstellar regions. To these simple onuses must also be attributed tbe formation of a large class of fogs. On the other hand, the peculiar feature In the origin of a number and especially of the heaviest fogs is that the moist air radiates Its beat downward to a comparatively cold body of either water, earth or air. Tho former case occurs when the earth, after a period of low temperature, becomes very cold, and the winds waft warm, moist air over the cold regions, while the small con ducting power of the earth, ice or snow does not allow its surface to at once adjnst Itself to the change In temperature.

Lytle, the Veteran Fiend at FIndlay, Hanged to a Telegraph Pole by a Mob Shortly After Midnight Tho Laborious Attack on the Jail. Findlay, O., March 3L Joseph Lytle, the old soldier who mangled his wife and two daughters yesterday, died at the hands of a mob about 1 o'clock this morning. A mob of about 1,000 men surrounded the jail. The windows of the jail were broken, but the cell of the prisoner could not be reached by that means. Then the deter mined men procured oil well drills and bat tered down the doors, and the murderous wretch was at their mercy. Lytle was per fectly game, and called the mob's attention to his own cell as the one they wanted. After working nearly an hour the cell door was battered down and the doomed man dragged out. He was taken several blocks away to the Main street bridge. A rope was furnished and one end thrown over one of the top firders. Another moment and the body of ivtle swung In the air; only for a mo ment, however, as a bullet from a revolver cut the rope in two and the body fell. The mob then caught the end of the rope and dragged the victim through the street about 200 feet, and again the rope was hoisted over a telegraph pole arm. As the body was pulled up the second time a dozen shots were fired, and the end of the awful tragedy came. The mob is said to have been com posed of the best citizens, but was poorly organized. Lytle had evidently expected the fate he metj for he left a note" asking that his body be turned over to his brother, and that it b buried beside his mother. The authoritiet had intended to secretly convey the prison er to a suburb at 1 o'clock, where a train was to have been taken for Lima, but their plans were frustrated by the vigilance of the moo.
