Washington, May.. . 28. Secretary
Greshara died at 1 :15 o'clock tbia (Tues
day) morning at bis rooms at tbe Arling
ton house. - Al
though his recovery
was practically
abandoned when
- his spell occurred a
little before 6 last
(Monday) evening,
tbe most powerful
heart stimulants
known to medical
science were inject
ed- periodically, and an infusion of nor
mal saline solution was made through
an open vein in the arm. He recovered
slightly, but owing to severe rigors just
before 11 o'clock, he began to fall rapidly
and his vitality began to ebb. The three
physicians saw that the end was near
and at 12 o'clock withdrew to the ante
room, leaving in the .sick-room.only the
members of his family and tbe nurses.
Still Catherine Testimony.
San Fbancisco, May 27. The police
are still engaged in gathering testimony
against O, W. Winthrop, who was ar
rested last week in connection with tbe
'death of Mrs. Jennie Mathews, who died
under mysterious circumstances at the
. grave ui uor cuuu. du iai nio umj mu-
ible clew at hand is the one discovered
by the Examiner, to the effect that Win
throp is named as the guardian of Mrs.
Mathews' daughter in a life insurance
policy of $2,000, taken out a few days be
fore her death. The child was made the
beneficiary in the policy. Mrs. Mathews' i
husband did not know she bad had her
life insured until after her death, Win
, throp, it la said, having cautioned her to
say nothing about it to anybody. While
the evidence againEt Winthrop is by no
means conclusive, tbe police say tbe clew
discovered by the Examiner suggests tbe
most plausible explanation of tbe mys
tery, taken in connection with the fact
that Mrs. Mathews said shortly before
her death that she bad been given a pill
by Winthrop, a statement in which her
daughter concurred.
Captain Lees, who has charge of the
investigation into tbe death of Mrs.
Matthews, looked up the law concerning
the right to open a sealed letter with a
view to ascertaining if he could be held
responsible If he opened a letter written
by Mr. Winthrop, and addressed to T.
B. Linn, which the head of the detective
force has in his . possession. Winthrop
had placed a stamp on the envelope, and
Captain Lees thought perhaps the feder
al statutes would indicate whether or
not the presence of the stamp suggested
the letter to the regulation postal service.
He found that only letters which bad
actually been in transit through the post'
office are protected by congressional en
act men t. But be found a statute in tbe
California code, which is so broad in its
- scope that letters and notes of every de
scription that are sealed by the writer
' re considered sacret, and to open them
9ithout the consent of tbe -writer or the
erson to whom they are addressed Vould
jbonstitute a misdemeanor . "In view of
that law," said Captain Lees,"I think I
will defer opening the letter until the
. coroner holds an inquest. Then we will
endeavor to obtain judicial sanction for
opening it."
Captain Lees has locked tbe letter in
a safe at police headquarters, as be re-

Winthrop has ever purchased stryebnine
in a San Francisco drug store. Lees has
made a systematic and thorough canvass
of tbe city, employing not only his de
tectives, but policemen from the various
precincts, and found no trace of what be
wants to know. Eetail druggists who
have been approached invariably , say
that they don't sell stryebnine except on
a physician's prescription.
BAIVEDAT'8 LTNCHISU.
It la the All-Abaorblag Tople at Dan
ville. -
Danville, 111., May 27. Saturday's
lynching is still the absorbing topic of
conversation here. There is a possibility
that those members of the mob who are
known will be indicted by the grand jury.
State Attorney 8. G. Wilson is much
opposed to lynch law, and bos taken a
more decided stand in censuring the mob
than any other prominent citizen in
Danville. He said todav :
"If the grand jury indicts the lynchers
you can rest assured that I will prosecute
them vigorously and fearlessly. Tbe
matter will be brought before tbe grand
jury. What action it will take, I am, of
course, unable te say. I believe in fol
lowing the law in every case. ' Last sum
mer some citizens complained that Dan
ville was overrun with mobs of striking
miners. I do not see a difference bet
ween a mob of poor coalminers and one
of rich farmers." ' v
Tbe people will pay the damages done
to the county jail. The amount will be
raised by subscription. The damage will
not exceed $209. Miss Barnett's condit
ion is improving, and it is expected she
will be removed to her father's home in
Indianola in a few days. The action of
the lynchers meets with her approval. '
Ik Wheat Market.
Chicago, May 27. The wheat market
opened excited and higher today and
within a few minutes touched a point
only of a cent under top figures during
the recent boom. Liverpool was quoted
at l2d higher. Frosts were reported
in Nebraska and Minnesota Saturday
night and in parts of Illinois . last night,
and renewed reports of crop damage
were received from Illinois and Indiana.
Heavy buying orders from the. country
added to the bull feeling, as did tbe ex
pectation of a very heavy decrease of the
visible supply. , On the other hand the
weather map Bhowed the frost area was
restricted and there were areas of low
barometer, indicating rains.' These last
are an offset to bullish news tended to
unsettle the market. July wheat opened
with sales all the between 80c, and
81 c, against 79 c at the close Satur
day, sold at once to 81c, dropped to
80c, jumped to 81c, broke to 79c,
and then grew firm again. Then with
indications that tbe visible supply would
only show a decrease of about 1,500,080
bushels-, against estimates ranging from
2,t00,000 to 3,500,000, Saturday, the price
of July wheat broke to 79)4c, or Jc, low
er than Saturday's closing, after having
been 2jc higher. ' '..
Corn did not follow wheat in its up
ward movement, chiefly on account of
enormous receipt. Oats started higher
with wheat.
Grangers, encouraged by their suc
cesses in building wheat and corn, seem
to have turned their attention to hog
products. Estimated ' receipt of: live
hogs today were 44,000, many more than
were expected, ' consequently the price
of the animal was weak to 5 cents lower.
Heavy Ralna and Wind. Prevail In
California.
Andebson, May 27. A heavy rain and
wind storm has been prevailing since
Saturday afternoon, doing an immense
amount of damage and causing many
thousands of dollars' loss. Nearly tbe
entire bay crop has been cut and 1b lying
in windrows and in small stacks exposed
to the storm. The wind velocity is from
30 to 40 miles an hour. Great damage
has been done to fruit trees, tbe wind
knocking the fruit off and breaking the
young growth, especially on young trees,
Last nighta large warehouse belonging
to J. F. Bedford was blown from its
foundation and completely demolished.
BSNSATI05AL JAIL BBEAK.
A. Notorious Character LuTt the Pen
dleton Jail In Daylight. -.
Pendleton, May 27. There was a
sensational delivery Sunday ' evening
from the Umatilla county jail, in which
one of the most notorious chm-acters of
this county escaped. Ike Farr brought
three horses in from'the reservation, two
of them for Joe and Henry Parr, who
were captured after an exciting chase,
by Indian policemen, several weeks ago,
on charges of horsestealing and trying to
kill an Indian posse. A large bar was
sawed off and bent down and Joe crawled
through, jumped on his horse and flew
to his friends, who equipped him for
flight to the mountains.
The courthouse is in the middle of a
block of land, exposed on all sides,' and
the escape was mado in broad daylight.
Henry Parr was too large to get through
the opening. - How the thing was accom
plished is shrouded in mystery. The
officers are chasing Parr.
Anyone who has ever had an atack
of inflammatory rheumatism will rejoice
with Mr. I. A. Stnmm, 220 Boyle
Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortunate
escape from a siege, of that distressing
ailment. Mr. Stumm is foreman of
Merrian's confectionery establishment.
Some months ago, on leaving the heated
work room to run across the street on an
errand, he was caught out! in the rain..
The result was that when ready to go
home that night he was unable to walk,
owing to inflammatory rheumatism. He
was taken home, and on arrival was
placed in front of ' a good fire and
thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. During the evening and
night he was repeatedly bathed with this
liniment, and by morning was relieved
of all rheumatic pains. He now. takes
especial pleasure in praising Chamber
lain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a
bottle of it in the house. . For sale by

The State Commander writes us from
Lincoln, Neb., as follows: "After try
ing other medicines for what seemed to
be a very obstinate cough in our two
children we tried Dr. King's New Dis
covery and at the end of two days the
cough entirely left them. We will not
be without it hereafter ,as our experience
proves that it cures where all other re
medies fail." Signed F. W. Stevens,
