DIED IN JAIt,.
An Eiigiisli Clergyman's Loth for Liquor
t Causes Bis Downfall.
London, Sept. 7. Gloucester is ex
cited over a clerical scandal. Last eve
ning Henry Radge, the senior curate of
Newent, near that city, who was well
connected and had been highly " con
nected, died in jail. His downfall has
been rapid. A short time ago he began
drinking, and it was soon learned by the
parish trustees that he was using a large
amount of parochial funds. Through
the influence of friends, who restored
the money, the matter was hushed up,
and-it was hoped that the minister's
failings would be controlled, but after a
brief period of uprightness he again fell
from grace, and it became necessary for
the parishioners to dismiss him. A
week ago Kudge was forced to leave his
house for non-payment of rent. Over
come by despair and shame he at
tempted to commit suicide, but was pre
vented from carrying out his purpose
and was sent to jail for the offense of
trying to end his life. It is believed he
obtained poison through some friend
while in jail and was thus enabled to
finally complete the wotkof self-destruc
tioh, as an autopsy shows signs of vol
son. Very few of the curate's parish'
loners had an idea of the disgrace into
which he had fallen ; the prevailing idea
mat ne was Buttering from nervous pros
tration. The revelations following the
suicide have caused a profound sensa
tion.
REFUSED TO HOLD HIM.
Minneapolis Authorities Release a Picfc
pocket Wanted at Portland.
bt. -aul, sept. v. jonn Doiey, a
somewhat noted character, commonly
known as :"The Goat," was released
from imprisonment at Minneapolis to
day upon the understanding that he
would leave the city. Foley is a pick
pocket. His favorite plan of operation
is among women at funerals and other
solemn occasions, where the people's
minds are on the ceremony. He was
arrested at the exposition by Detective
rioy. rne authorities at Portland, Or.,
wanted Foley held until an officer could
arrive from that city. The county at
torney thought it would require too long
a time lor an omcer to come irom the
coast, and that the prisoner, would have
oeen a Die to get out a writ of habeas cor
pus in the meantime, holey was ar
rested on general principles at Portland
aliout a year ago. He broke jail and
came east. About four years ago he
stole a pocket-book from Mrs.. John
Fleethaine's pocket, while that lady
was attending a funeral in East Minne
apolis. He was arrested at the time but
managed to escape conviction.
ACCIDENT OR CRIME.
A Wealthy Ranch Owner Gives
His
Friends Poison to Drink.
Haktington, Neb., Sept. 7. Andrew
Olsen", a well-known farmer of this vi
cinity, died last night from the effects of
a dose of poison taken in a drink of al
cohol. Marti h Knulson, neighbor to
the deceased, lies at the point of death,
and Hans Seager, another friend, is
slowly recovering from the effect of
poison. Dennis b laherty, a wealthv
ranchowner with previously a good rep
utation, has been arrested, charged with
poisoning them. Last . week - he met
them and after a brief friendly conver
sation offered them to drink from a flask
of alcohol which he drew from his
pocket. He asserts he had two flasks.
one containing alcohol and one poison.
The men who drank asserts he had but
one flask, that the liquor therein was of
a milky hue, and he remarked it was
not clear as alcohol should be.
. A Desperate Woman's Deed.
Atcbison, Sapt. 7. Justice Moss, of
Everest, . yesterday held Mrs. John
Bradley ' without bail for the murder of
the infant of her cousin, Miss Curley.
The child was the illegitimate offspring
of- Mrs. Bradley's son, Charles. The
condition of Miss Curley,- and the gen
eral knowledge that young Bradley was
the cause of her trouble, threatened to
break his marriage engagement with
Julia Garvey, whereupon Mrs. Bradley
poisoned the child and drove the Curley
girl, who is simple-minded, away. She,
nowever, returned to visit the grave of
her child, and the story came out.

art, a married man with four children,
and Mrs. Jane Kennedy, a married
woman with two children, went out for

them, in another boat, two companions,
Gignilliat and Miss Ida Harmon. The
lake is away out of town and is in a
lonely spot. The two couples took sepa
rate 'boats and there in the dark were
having a pleasant time. Suddenly Gig
nilliat heard a scream, and looking
around beheld no trace of the other boat.
It had disappeared with its occupants as
completely as if it had never existed.
Miss Harmon fain ed, and it was with
difficulty that Gignilliat saved himpelf
from the fate of hie companions. Reach
ing shore and laying his unconscious
companion upon the grass, he rushed off
and gave the alarm. About 10 o, clock
200 men bad gathered from the city
with drags and grappiing irons. For
four hours they dragged before success

house early in the evening and suggested
the trip. His wife is on a visit to Ten

in Douglas county.
MATTERS IN CHILI.
President Bslmaceds Upholds United
States Minister Egan.
San Fbancisco, Sept. 7. The Exami
ner's Santiago correspondent, under date
of August 8, reports an interview with
Balmaceda, then president of Chili, in
which the latter claimed' foreign specu
lators had more to do with the disrup
tion of the government than was gener
ally known, and that a great deal of
money had been advanced the insur
gents by foreign capitalists. He refused
to state whether or not United States
Minister Egan had expressed an opinion
as to whether the United States govern
ment iavorea toe jsaimaceaan govern
ment .or the insurgents, but eaid the
United States minister was a very con
servative man, and bad chosen to re
main eiient as to nis own sympathy in
the patter. Balmaceda expressed the
opinion that the chastisement which - he
said Egan had received from the Ameri
can press was not merited, and that the
insurgents were trying to "down" the
latter simply from spite. The interview
was brief, as the correspondent says the
president refused to discuss acmy or
state affairs. ' '.

AT SEA IN A DORY.
Two Young Men Sail From Rockaway
Beach In a Seven-Foot Boat.
New York, Sept. 7. Yesterday after
noon at 2 :45 o'clock two young men
sailed from Rockaway beach in a dory,
bound for Boston. Harry Tumbenback,
the captain, sat in the stern just before
starting, while Robert Valkepberg, the
mate and crew, went forward
and christened the craft Little Rover.
Then they sailed. Two hours later they
had made about half a mile. Their boat
is seven feet long and two feet six inches
in -width. It has a square stern, is flat
bottomed, has a centre-board, and car
ries a mainsail and jib. With its two
occupants it draws about six inches,
while its gunwales are about eight inches
above water. The sides are made of a
single board about three-quarters of an
inch thick. The mainsail is five feet
high and about three feet wide. In this
cigar box two men expect to reach Bos
ton in about nine days. They expect to
capsize frequently, and so ' they carry a
reel and a long line. When they go
overboard they will swim ashore and
draw the boat after them, bail her out
and proceed. Both voyagers are robust
young fellows, who have made a record
as life savers at Rockaway and A'sbury
Park. They will trust to their swim
ming powers rather than to the boat to
save them. They will pass up East
River through the sound and around
Cape Cod, keeping as near shore as pos
sible. They carrjr canvas to shelter
them at night. It is said they are sail
ing for a purse or wager.

A Snake Story.
A man named Bayley down in Modoc
county, California, a short time since
killed a rattlesnake five feet long and
twelve inches in circumference and hav
ing forty-four rattles and a button and
the Ashland Record man avows that he
has the rattles on exhibition in his office.
That reminds the Chronicle man of a
rattle snake story he heard the other
day from the lips of a pioneer lady of
this county, in whose truthfulness and
sincerity he has'tbe utmost cbn6dence,
otherwise he should be disposed to take
it cum grano salt's. In the eummer of
'53 a party of surveyors at Stony Butte
in Lane county, on the farm of Mitchell
Wilkins, one of the Oregon commission
ers, we believe, to the world's fair came
upon a den of rattle snakes and in the
space of about three hours they killed
980 finakes of all sizes from the infant on
its mother's knee, and young rattlers
just cutting their eye teeth, so to speak',
up to the old battle scarred veterans of
two or three feet long. One man, a
farmer of the neighborhood named Jes
sie Hasket, who had engaged in the kill
ing match, died a few days afterwards,
from the effects,-as his physician alleged,
of inhaling the deadly ' fumes of the
snake poison. Our informant was then
a school girl of the neighborhood, and is
now the honored wife of Mr. J. H.
Mosier of Mosier in this county.
