Henry O'Counor, 05 yoars pld, a boiler
maker, who mado a dastardly attempt
to murder his six-year-old Btepson,
llernnrd Wattberry, Saturday night, Is
nowunder arrest.
O'Connor recently married tlio widow
Wattberry, and, because the child seem
ed to engioss all ot Iter directions, ba
came insanely jealous and took n bitter
dislike to the clilld.
Saturday night ho Induced tho -child
to go walking with htm. He led the
boy about three miles out of tho city to
tho Fifth avenue bridge, mid when in
the centre of the structure he raised the
lad in bis arms and thrdw him oil. Tho
place was deserted, and O'Connor rap
idly disappeared In the darkness.
Little Bernard, in the meantime, had
fortunately fallen on u sand bar over
wlilch there was but a few feet of water.
He called fur help with all his might,
which, about fifteen minutes after, was
board by a farmer who was driving over
the bridge on his way to his home. He
took the reins from his horse, tied them
together, and threw the noose to the
boy, who was some twenty feet below.
Bernard placed the noose about his
waist and was drawn to tne bridge, al
most unconscious and badly bruised by
tho mass ot loe llo.ttlug down the river.
The farmer wrapped the exhausted boy
in his blankets and drove him to a hos
pital, wnero the lad now lies In a preca
rious condition. The polioo arrested
O'Connor at his borne yssterday.

Bit.TlMOHK, Deo. 31. Additional fads
hnre been learned regarding the Foots
tragedy, which prove conclusively that
Lewis Furman had no hanu in thi
atrocious murder. Mrs. Furman's con
fession is true, ex3pt so far us it re.
lutes to Furmau. This Is provod by the
circumstances subsequent to the tra
gedy. She Is very cunning, nud it is
the opinion of tho authorities engtged
on the cute that in vlow ot the fact that
she made him a party to the crime In
her previous contessiou ot the inquest
she felt thai she must again bring him
into the affair in some manner.
Detective Black ot this oity, who win
engaged by cx-Congressman S. C. Mil.
lard to find evidence which would provo
tho innocence of his client, says that
proceedings havo been begun to havo set
usldo tho iudictmonts against Furman,
as he oisn prove an alibi and show beyond
a doubt that Mrs. Footo was engaged
entirely alone in the commission of the
Qondlsti crime. He said:
"I can prove that Furman was work

tlmo Mrs. Fuote claims thnt he was iu
the bouse with her planning to destroy
tho evidence of the murder. He ru
mniued steadily at work in the field un

She washeit the garments, and supposed

Hungarian I .nine', ns Minister of
National Defe ic, fought a duel yester
day with Herr Ugrou, a member ot tho
Reichstag, who had uttered language
iu criticism ut his course us Minister
which tho Uaron considered personally
insulting.
The duel was fought with deadly ear
nestness. The two principals llrst llrod
at ench other with pistols. Neither
shot took effect. Then thoy coolly pre
pared for another shot, and again tho
bullets missed their miiric.
Handing nvur the pistols to thalr sea-
onds, the two men drew swords and at
tacked each other. Tne I), iron was by
far the better fencer, but ugrou bold
his own well, and made up iu dash
what hu lacked iu skill.
Ugrou received a wound in ths arm ,
but he succcoeded In slashing the
Huron's arm and also slicing his oar.
When tho blood appeared the sooouds
culled a halt, although both principals
were prep.trod to light on.
Tbu seconds, however, lnslstotl thnt
the demands of honor had beou satisfied,
and succeeded utter some intercession,
in inducing tho combatants to bo
reconciled. The wounds wera dressed
by a surgeon, who bad accompanied the
