SLIGHT HOPES FOR RECOVERY Elsenhower Bursts Into Tears When Told That He Shot the' Wrong Man Bis Story of His Wrongs and William Swlndt's Denial. John Switult, tho victim of tho shooting on South Main street yesterday afternoon, Is still allvq, butin a very precarious condition and his chances for recovery are very slight. Ho is completely paralyzed from tho walt down and tho jabbing of needles into his lower Hm1s caused no sensation that ho ex perienced. It is belioved he has received a fatal wound, but may linger for many days. Last evening Ur. J. C. Church, tho family physiciau, held a consultation with Drs. Callcn, Straub and Roberts and all seemed to concur in this belief. Thoy probed for the bullet, but wcro unable to locate it. Swindt complained of intenso pain in tho abdomen. The bullet entered tho bank, on the left, on lino with tho elbow. Tho doctors beliovo that its course was turned by a rib and that It struck tho f-pino and passed down into tho abdomen. Tho paralysis is probably duo to a fracture or dislocation of ono or more of tho vertebra, which causes a pressure on the spinal cord. If such is tho case it is only n question as to how long tho cord will last under tho pressure. Tho ease has caused a sensation and the dUcussiou of it lias, to a great extent, over shadow! d the interest in tho election. Swindt was to have been on duty as a watcher for John 1. lioelini at tho Second ward poll to-day. Ucnernl sympathy is expressed for the victim, especially so that ho should bo an Innocent sufferer, The ease has also been cited as oue of the striking instances of life's uncertainties. Swindt worked a4 a miner at the Turkey Hun colliery. After successfully passing through all the dangers that con stantly surround men who must earn their living In tho bowels of tho earth, and was cheerfully walking home to join his wife) and children, it' seems especially distressing that ho should find death lurking on tho way and at tho hands of a cowardly assassin whom ho had nover wronged, and who is now in agony over the terrible mistake he made. Eisenhower, tho assailant, was (list made known of tho mistako .by a Herald re porter early last ovening. "Do you know that you shot tho wrong man?" ho was asked. "No!" ho oxclajmcd with lnlngleii sur prise and doubt. "Yes, you shot his twin brother, John." Tears tilled tho man's eyes and for a mo ment ho did not attempt to speak, but tried to subdue his emotions. Partly recovering himself ho said, "Well, gentlemen, if I did shoot the wroug man I am very sorry; but if I didn't shoot tho wrong ono I am satisfied. Hill Swindt broko up toy family and I mado up my miud that ho would have to bo shot," When questioned as to what ho meant when he said Swindt had broken up his family Eisenhower said, "I'll tell you the wholo story. Ono night last August Bill Swindt took mo home. I was drunk, but not as drunk as they thought I was, and as I laid on tho lloor, pretendiug to be, asleep I saw my wife sitting on Swindt's .lap, I jumped up aud grabbed hold of my wife. Swindt kicked me and split ono of my ribs. 1 had him arrested, but ho bettled thocitso by paying tho costs. A fow days after my wifo had mo arrested for assault aud battery, but wo settled tho easo and I agreed to go away. I went to Pittsburg, but couldn't stay away. I finally went to livo with my family again, but my wifo had mo arrested and taken beforn 'Squire Dengler, That was on tho 27th ot December, last, and she has kept mo away over since. What mado mo foci worso than anything was that this attemoon I met my six-year-old son on Centra street. I took him into a storo aud bought candy. I asked him if ho wouldn't liko to livo with ino, but ho said, 'No, mamma, told mo that if I met you on the- street I shouldn't look at you.' That made mo worso than ever. I left tho child and walked down Main street. I saw Swindt I thought it was Bill Swindt and shot him. My wifo lives with her soveu children in Itobbins' row, on East Apple alley. Tho youngest child is four years old. I know that Swindt put her up to suo mo aud keep mo away." Tho most important witnoss to tho shooting is Harry W. Smith, son of Ex-Chief Burgess James Smith. Ho was engaged with George Hover in painting a sign nt the saloon located at the northwest cornor of Main aud Laurel streets, and was but a fow yards distant from tho scene of tho shooting. Ho says John Swindt and another man walked along the Lehigh Valloy railroad in a northeastern direction and towards the Main street cross ing: Eisenhower walked south on Main streot. Swindt reached tho crossing blight ly before Eisenhower did and failed to notice tho latter. Eisenhower passed to the rear of his victim, drew a rovolvcr, and shot him in tho back. Swindt dropped like a log, but while prostrate pointed lu the diroctiou of Ids lleelng assailant, who ran up on tho rocks soutli of tho railroad witli Smith and Dover in pursuit. Eisenhower ran around tho two houses on tho rocks and back to Main street, down that Btrcet to tho highway loadiug to tho limo kiln. Smith and Boyer caught him about 300 yards distaut from the scene of tho shooting, Elsenhower's right hand was in his overcoat pocket, still grasping tho re volver. Ho made uo resistance. Thcodoro Eisenhower is a very heavy built man, about Ave feet eight inches in height. He has a Iicavy crop of dark brown hair and a very heavy brown mustache. His features are repulsive, brutal to a degreo At no time does his faco become frpe of a scowl. Ho is 40 years of ago and was bom at the cross roads near Slabtown, in 1 1 o Cata wlssa Valloy, His reputation is against him, JIp is, credited with being a, man of vory in temperate habits, quarrelsome, overbearing and exceedingly suspicious, Ho coustautly brags that ho is able to whip every one ho meets. Eisenhower was a teamster at the Turkoy Run colliery until last summer, when ho lost the position on account of his intern perate habits. Mrs. Eisenhower stoutly denies theaBper- slons her hubbapd throws upon her cuarac tcr and condemns him in the most bitter terms for being unwarrantably jealous brutal and dhsoluto. William C. Swindt, Eisenhower's intended victim, resides with his family at 310 North Jardln street. Ho was seen by a Heijald reporter to-day and in most emphatic terms denied the charges made against him. "As true as there is n God in heaven," said he, "I have never had any improper relations with Mrs. Eisenhower. That night in August, Eisenhower eamo down to the colliery at 12 o'clock. Ho was beastly drunk. I was on duty watching at the , drift. I tried to coax him to go homeand finally took him there. Ho was too drunk to understand What was going on. Whilo Mrs, Eisenhower was telling me of her troubles ho staggered to his feet and eamo at mo. To defend my self I kicked him away aud then left tho house. Ho lies when ho says M.-s. Eisen howct was on my lap. Wo nover wero so Intimate. Ho had mo arrested for assault and battery and solely to avoid notoriety 1 settled tho caso by paying tho costs. Since that time I have had nothing to do with cithc Eisenhower, or his wife, except that wheri I have passed Mrs. Eisenhower I h.ivo saluted her respectfully. That is all." This morning Eisenhower was given a hcarlilg before Justice Williams. John A. Lewis'. W. H. Smith and George Hoyer testi fied to the shooting aud capture substantially as already stated and Eisenhower was com mitted to tho county jail without bail. lie was taken to Pottsvillo at noon by O. & I. olicdman Bedea. ! senhowcr mado nonlca or statement w bile before the Justice. To-day Dr. J. C. Biddle, of tho Miners' Hospital, with tho assistance of Dr. Church, performed an operation upon the wounded man and found tho bullet imbeded in tho spinal column. It was removed. Tho bullet was lound in the tenth vertebra, which was badly shattered and the spiual cord was barely uuehed. Tho operation consisted of au in clusion over tho backbone so that tho skin could bo Happed over and gave a full view uf the bullets location. About an hour and a mlf was consumed in the operation. His belioved that should the victim survive his lower limbs will bo peunanently paralyzed. The latest collars and cuffs, MAX LEVIT. A Ulg Success.

A JOINT COMMISSION PROPOSED I To be Composed of Two Americans and Two Englishmen, to Ascertain the Facts and Report to Their Governments. London, Fob. 18. A Washington dis patch to The Times, commenting upon Unit nuwspnpcr's suggestion that Great Hrltulu should appoint a commission of Its own to exivmlno Into uml report upon tho Gulnun boundary, nsserts that tho Washington government would proposo a plan, If thcro woro reason to bollovo it would bo ac cepted by England, to croato a now com mission of two Englishmen and two Amer icans, not to fix tho boundary, but to as certain tho facts and report to their gov ernments. If thoy should fall to agree a, fifth member could bo appointed by tho president of tho Swiss republic, or somo other acceptable- personage, thu findings of tho commission to bo binding, and to servo as a basis for subsequent direct ne gotiations to fix tho boundary. "Should tho negotiations full," Tho Times correspondent continues, "tho question could bo remitted to a tribunal composed, say, of tho chief justices of England and tho United States, with, if necessary, a third neutral member. "Tills plan, I repeat, in Its present tox tii.il form, would bo accepted by this gov ernment. Thero would be a disposition, moreover, to agree In advanco upon stuiio satisfactory dollnltlon of the settled dis tricts, and to some doflnlto rule to deter mine such questions, and, with referonco to all that part of tho subject, to tako n, liberal view. Thoro would bo no objec tion to tho Idea of compensation or somo equitable nrrangemunt to nvoid tho dis turbance of actunl settlers." An editorial In Tho Times dwells on tho Importance of tho foregoing, and say3: "Tho plan in many of its features is such as England can honorably accept, and offers excellent prospects of au ulti mata agreement. Lord Salisbury lins al ready hinted at something of tho kind, but it may bo assumed that on tho main ques tion of procenduro tho two governments have agreed. Happily parlinmont has given tho ministers a freo hand." Proceeding then to crlticlzo tho plan The Times says: , "It ought to bo mado clear that tho gov ernments would only bo bound by tho re port of the original mombors (of tho pro posed commission) or a majority ot them, and If, with regard to tho settled districts, International arbitration can really bo mado to icsemblo municipal law on tho question of prescriptive rights, tho greater part of our objections to arbitration on tho wholo question will disappear.' Tho Daily Nows reproduces Tho Times' suggestion for tho appointment of au in dependent Venezuela commission. Tliu Dally Nows thinks that tho suggestion is signilloanrt and adds: "As a matter of fact, deliclto negotiations mi tho Vene zuela dispute aro now in progress." Incrc.lHed Coal rrodiu-tion.
