i Chicago, Sept. 18.-Many mem
bers of the Illinois militia have vol
unteered their services, to Macedo
nia, in the . war against Turkey by
New York, Sept. 17. A crowd
of several thousand saw an Italian
laborer slowly roast to death against
the electric' supply rail of the Brood
way line in the Subway ditch under
Forty-second street and Broadway
this afternoon and were powerless
to belp him for nearly twenty min
u'tes. ' I ' . .
The man was caught between a
great iron sewer pipe and the eup
ply, rail and the pipe was so charg
ed with electricity - that it was im
possible to move the burning 'man
until the. current Was ! detached.
His screams of agony could be heard
for blocks and traffic'on Broadway
and Forty-second street ; was bus
pended for nearly half an " hour by
the enormous crowd attracted , by
his cries. ,'y ''Z 'r' "'
Fully ' ten minutes . workmen
fought to get hold of an iron pipe,
while the screaming man slowly
roasted. At last a policeman ' se
cured a pale of water and poured it
through the trolley slot,, drenenmg
the burning clothing," but seeming
to add to the agony of the sufferer
by increasing tie electric ' contact
between the pipe and the feed rail.
Finally a policeman tore off his rub
ber coat and tossed it to the men in
the ditch, telling them to wind it
about the pipe and drag it off the
burning man. Ihis they did, An
ambulance surgeon said that the
man could not live.
Dr. E. F. Dimmick, of Oakland Is
Dsad -His Wife and Two Com-.
panions Are Arrested ,
, and in Jail. : .
Oakland, Sept., 19. Dr. Edwin
F. Dimmick was found in the throes
of death in a lonely canyon of the
Contra Costa hills last night. Thurs
day he threatened the lives of his
wife and Edward Troy, coming at
them with an axe.- Today he is
dead, and unless the circumstances
that surround is demise are
more j clearlv ' explained Sheriff
Veale will hold the whole camping
bartv of which he was a member
under arrest. : Obviously the whole
storv has not been told
This was a camping party from
Oaklandcomposed of Dr; Dimmick
Mrs. ' Dimmick, -. Edward ; Troy,
and a man named t Bishop. Their
explanation is that Dimmick turn
ed violently insane yesterday, and
in the evening fled from the party
and va lost in the bills. The tact
that his insanity; if there were noth
ing more, ' should have proved so
quickly fatal, appears to Sheriff
Veale in need of a clearer ' explana
tion than has yet been gi ven. Pend
ing that explanation; the surviving
campers will stay in jail at Martin-

peared suspicious. -- J.

threw his hands into the air, and,
falling backward, started to roll
down the side of the hill. At the

canyon, he iecovred himself and

Washington Sept., i8.r-The end
of the investigation into the great
postoffice - scandals, both i by the
Washington grand jury and the
postoffice department itself, is near
at hand, and no one of political
prominence charged to have been
implicated in the scandals has been
indicted. ' : ' ' '
Already the charge is being made
openly that the tifficeis - of the ad
ministration who are charged with
"aoing to the bottom of things" are
making frantic efforts to indict mi
nor people in oraer , 10 unina , ine
people who are r really 'responsibla

It is of course known to the in

Beavers nor any of tne lesser lignts
had authority "to make" contracts,
The v could recommend contracts
and they could assign reasons why
certain people, firms, incorporated
or otherwise, should get the gov

All of this will come out on the
trial of Macben and Beavers, and if
there is no indictment at this term
of the grand jury of some higher
officials, it is not possible that they
should escape when the minor . of'
ficials open their mouths and tell

He ceat the secretary of - the organi- -

Constantinople, Sept. 19. From
the latest dispatches it appears thai
insurgents are daily pressing near

foreign ministers unlesa they; re
