A COUPLE OF FOOLS.
They Cannot Agree and Cannot Keep
Away From Each Other. .
Anniston, Ala., .Sept. 9. Mr. and
Mrs. John Dickson were married and
after living together a couple of years ob
tained a .divorce. A few months later
John married a fascinating widow.
Mrs. Dickson followed suit with a wid
ower, and two weeks later she was Mrs.
Thompson. , Mrs. Dickson No. 2 lived
only a year or so, and after .her death
Dickson -made overtures to his former
wife, who repented and deserted her
second husband and came with Dickson
to Alabama. - They located in Anniston
in 1883, and had only been living here a
few months when they again separated
and were divorced. Both married again,
Dickson taking a young girl . not then
out of her teens. In the summer of
1886 Mrs. Dickson was married to a Mr.
Baker. Last year Baker died, and
again Dickson and the much-married
woman made up, but to get Dickson's
wife out of the way was the question.
For several weeks they puzzled over it,
and planned to no effect. Finally the
opportunity came. Trumped-up
charges were brought against her, and
so plain a case did they make against
the unoffending girl that Dickson was
again divorced. The decree was made
last spring, and a few days ago Dickson
and Mrs. Baker were married for the
third time. How long they will live to
gether now no one can tell.
Presidential Election In Honduras.
Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Sept. 9.
The presidential election, which was
held on Sunday, was quietly conducted,
no serious disturbance being ' reported.
Returns received show that that Pon
ciano Leibo, the nominee of the pro
gressive party, was the more popular
candidate, and his election is assured.
Borillo, the candidaie of the opposition
and socialists, was left far in the rear by
his opponent.
A Hint to the Sultan.
London, Sept. 9. It is rumored that
the British fleet, now in the Mediter
ranean, will shortly be ordered to Con
stantinople, as a hint to the sultan of
the possible fate of his city, should he
become too aggressive toward England.
It is also stated in a dispatch from Stam
boul that the British fleet, when it ar
rives, will pass the Dardanelles into the
Black sea, and give notice thereby to
Russia that the Black sea is not a Rus
sian lake.
England Accused of Making Trouble.
Constantinople, Sept. 9. There is
no doubt that Klamil Pasha's fall is due
to his supposed anglo-phile policy in re
gard to Eervnt and Yeman. The recent
revolt in Yeman is believed by the sul
tan to have been fomented by England.
Owing to a slight received some time
ago, the British ambassador declines to
revisit the sultan unless officially invi
ted. It is reported that Kiamil Pasha
is under police surveillance.
He "Wandered From Home.
Portland, Sept. 10. Edward Holt,

Distress in Russia.
London, Sept. 9. The Standard's

come. '

BLOOD-THIRSTY FIEND
A Boston Man's Scheme to Rob and
Murder His ' Brother-in-law The
Plot Exploded by a Friend.
Driven to Desperation a Russian Jew
Murders His Whole Family Re
fusal to Honor the Prince.
Boston, Sept. 9. The arrest of James
E. Cutler by the Boston police tonight
spoiled a diabolical scheme to murder
and rob, and brought to light a collec
tion of infernal machines sufficient to
blow up half the city. Cutler's sister
married Luther H. Rowe, a wealthy
manufacturer. Mr, Rowe's home is in
Melrose, but his manufactory is at Hav
erhill. Cutler was angry because his
wealthy brother-in-law refused to ad
vance as much cash as his extravagant
tastes demanded, and tried to take his
life. In 1888 he made the first attempt,
was arrested and sentenced to two years'
imprisonment. As soon as he was re
leased he agin laid his plans to secure
his brother-in-law's wealth. He roomed
on Chambers street, and after his arrest
today, the nature of his plot was re
vealed. His original plan was to blow
up his victim. He laid in a big stock of
giant powder, nitro-glycerine, dynamite
and a regular arsenal of firearms. In
addition to these weapons, he had many
bombs ready for use. His original
scheme was to conceal a bomb in an um
brella and leave it in Mr. Rowe's hands.
Upon reflection he decided that there
was too much danger to himself in that
Elan, so he abandoned it for the plan of
lowing up the house. . But that might
involve the destruction of his sister,-and
that scheme also was given up. Last
Wednesday he confided bis plan to an
old friend, William Butler. He and
Butler had worked together in the same
shop. He asked Butler's assistance in
removing Rowe, and promised, him half
the money that was expected as a result
of the crime. Butler at first thought the
whole matter was a joke, but when he
discovered that Cutler was really bent on
murder and robbery, he pretended to
approve of the scheme in order to hold
the man's confidence, and then he re
vealed the plot to the police. Cutler's
flan was to have been put in operation
ast night. He was. at the rendezvous
waiting for his accomplice when the po
lice arrested him. He and Butler were
to have proceeded to Mr. Rowe's house
in Melrose. Butler was to ring the bell,
and it was anticipated that Mr. Rowe
would answer the bell in person, and as
soon as he opened the door, Cutler was
to shoot him. If he missed his aim But
ler was to open fire. - Then having dis
posed of Mr. Rowe, the two men were to
cover Mrs. Rowe with their revolvers
and force her to give up all the money
and valuables in the house. In case she
refused, she too was to be murdered.
DRIVEN TO DESPERATION.
A Russian Jew Murders His Entire
Family.
Berlin, Sept. 9. From Kieff comes
the account of a horrible tragedy. A
Jew named Kaplan, driven to despera
tion by an order to leave Russia, he hav
ing been deprived of a comfortable busi
ness by former decrees, first shot his
wife and then one by one his five chil
dren. He afterwards killed himself.
Kaplan left a note, stating the motive
for the crimes, which was a desire to
save bis family from otherwise inevit
able misery. From other parts of Rus
sia comes news of tragedies attendant on
the failure of the harvest and the conse
quent suffering and struggle for exist
ence. While no cases of cannibalism
have been reported, there have been
several cases of mysterious disappear
ances that are attributed to suspected
cannibalism, and in Bessarabia the
police are carefully watching for evidence
against persons under suspicion. Many
suicides are stated to have occurred
among the peasontry, who, owing to a
strong religious feeling, have been, as a
rule, slow to commit this act. There is
nothing reassuring in Russian advices,
and the propect for the winter is terrible
to contemplate. '
STURDY SONS OF TOIL.
They Refuse to Bow to the Prince of
Wales.
London, Sept. 9. The refusal of the
trades committee to propose a resolution
that would include the Prince of Wales
is regarded here as a widespread non
conformist sentiment which has set a
mark of condemnation on the social life
of the prince. The discussion in the
committee of arrangements is said to
have been very pointed, and took in the
whole range of the royal brood of Vic
toria. One delegate boldly asserted that
the family of the queen, apart from her
self, had no claim whatever on the coun
try, and that it was an outrage that the
people should be expected to contribute
to their support. The long list of royal
descendants was canvassed in vain for a
name that the workingmen could con
sistently honor by special mention at
their banquet, but not one could be
found worthy, on his own account, of
any such testimonial. The baccarat
trial was gone over, and altogether it
was a discussion to make the ears of roy
alty tingle. The conclusion was reached
that none should be honored but the
queen. ,
CHURCH AND SALOON.
Church People and Saloon-Keepers En
gage n a Bitter War.
Mascoutah, 111., Sept. 9. The town
of Okawaville, in Washington county,
fifteen miles south of here on the Louis
ville & Nashville railroad, is in a high
state of excitement over a bitter fight
between the church and the saloon
keepers. Two weeks ago the church
leaders determined to slop Sunday beer
picnics. Accordingly, the following
Sunday the law was enforced and every
saloon-keeper in the place was forced to
close his place. The two factions are
about equally divided, and each one has
a strong following. Sunday night about
fifty armed men on horses rode jip to the
residence of "Mr. A. Morgan, a pillar of
the church, and one of the wealthiest
citizens in the county. Each member
of the party had a high white cap on hia
bead and a handkerchief over his face.
The white caps surrounded the house
and called to Mr. Morgan to come out.
The man they called was at home, and
the gleaming barrels of their guns had
no terror for'tiim. He walked boldly
out with a Winchester rifle in his hand
and opened fire upon his midnight visi
tors. Three shots were fired in quick
succession into the crowd, and they fled
in haste. It is more than likely that
the white caps will stay clear of Deacon
Morgan in the future. Yesterday two
strangers alighted from the train, and
stayed at Okawaville all day. They
hired a horse and buggy and drove about
the town. They finally met John Te
beau, a church deacon and a prominent '
citizen. They had evidently been look
ing for him, and as soon as they saw
him, both sprang to the ground, and
pounced upon the deacon. The latter
was badly beaten, and may not recover.
The affairs have' greatly embittered the
feeling between the factions, and it is
feared there will be more tragedies
enacted before the war is ended.
ENGLISH POLITICS.
The Earl of Aberdeen Interviewed by a
Persistent American Reporter.
Boston, Mass., Sept. 9. The Earl of
Aberdeen,, the Countess of Aberdeen and
Lady Marjorie Gordon left Boston yes
terday for the White Mountains. When
asked the opinion of the English people
on the Behring sea settlement, he replied
that the modus vivendi agreed upon was
considered very satisfactory. Of the
McXinley bill, he said there was an
opinion in some quarters that the bill
was intended to corner Canada and force
her into the United States. In England
business was very good indeed, though
he thought shipbuilding had been quite
enough rushed forward. In regard to
the Irish question, the earl, who is a
liberal, said it was the opinion of the
liberals that Mr. Gladstone would have '
a majority at the next general election.
Mr. Gladstone is just as serious for home
rule as ever. The last special election
showed that a majority of the Irish peo
ple were not with Parnell. The liberal
party would work with the home-rule-party
the same as ever.
Good Coke Coal on the Sound.
San - Francisco, Sept. 10. Robert '
Ramsey, superintendent of Frick and
company's great coal mines and coke
works, Connelsville, Pa., the iron and
steel company of Youngstown, is in the
city. He ia of a party now exploring
the Pacific coast to' look up coke and iron
researches with a view of manufacturing
coke, pig iron and steel, "we have
looked over the country." said Superin
tendent Ramsey "from Fairhaven down.
We have found good coking coal from
the Wilkinson mines on the Puget
Sound. As to iron we are not certain
that there is a supply of bessemere ore,
but we think there is. We are satisfied
the Pacific coast has coal to manufacture
good coke."
Blaine is Their Choice.
Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 10. A can
vass of delegates to the republican state
convention as to their preferences for a
presidential candidate for '92 resulted as
follows: Blaine, 639; Harrison, 16: Fos
ter, 2 ; McKinley , 1 ; Alger, 1 Absent,
6; non-committal, 107. Fifty-six marked
non-cammittal admittdd they favored
Blaine but did not wish to be quoted.
Explosion in a Mail Car.
Berlin, Sept. 9. A parcel of fireworks
exploded in the mail van of a train near
Garlitz today, setting fire to the mail
matter, most of which was consumed,
the car was badly damaged, and the of
ficial in charge of the mails seriously in
jured. . It is not known where the pack
age was from or who sent it. The pen
alty for mailing anything of an explo
sive nature is heavy. If the sender
could be discovered it would go hard
with him, but as the fire destroyed all
evidence of the origin and destination of
the package, it is not probable that the
guilty person will be traced.
A Big Failure.
' London, Sept. 10. Alexander & Son,
the coin brokers, have ' failed. Liabili
ties, 1,870,900 and assets, 27,000.
They attribute their failure to losses in
curred since last May in speculation in
grain. r
Major Bundy's Funeral.
Paris, Sept. 10. Simple and impres
