The vice-admiral did not recover consciousness after being taken to a hlspltal following the Utfaek made upon him. The accident occurred near Crawley and was caused the failure of the brakes on the vehicle to work. Hand Cross Hill is one ug the most dangerous hills In all EnglHnd. As the omnibus started down (he hill the chauffeur tried to set tilt brakes to control its speed, but their.-refusal to work allowed the huge vctlicle to gain great momentum. The schooner, which was bound from New York to Charleston, S. C., sighted the burning bark off her port bow, and Captain Furness headed his vessel toward the endangered ship, despite the fact that a stiff northeaster was raging at the time. Leslie SI.

Coming as closely as ho could, the Pennlwell stood by while Captain Furness ordered his lifeboats lowered and sent to the burning craft, which was by this time allre from stem to The admiral was walking In the garden of his villa, where the assassin lay in wait hidden in a clump of hushes. As the admiral was passing the sailor shot hi in, the bullet lodging In a lung. The doctors hold out 110 hope of his recovery. French Lick, Ind., July 12.—'Thomas Taggnrt, president of the French Lick Springs Hotel company, acting on advice of his attorneys, refused to b»D exnmlned under oiitli by the auditor of state and the attorney general.

It Is desired to make clear the exact relations of the hotel companies and the casinos, which were raided by the state officers last week to stop alleged gambling. Taggart Refuses to Talk. It was traveling at a fearful rate when It overturned and the fatalities are due to this fact. Mr. Combs will remain in the Ouatemnltin capital to keep the United States advised concern Ing the trouble and to protect American interests. Salvadorean and (luatemalean troops have been massed near the common boundary of the two countries for some time, and a serious clash was expected, but a temporary armistice seemed to have been agreed upon, and Salvador announced that J. R. Paeus had been named as a special envoy to Washington for the purpose of malting representations to the American government concerning Salvador's position. John Jenkins, the American consul general at Salvador, was to accompany Mr. PncuB to this country. stern Not only has Mr. Smith signed the certificate hut he also made affidavit THE MARCUM • ASSASSINATION The men could be seen plainly clinging to the rigging and the Spanish Hag of the bark flapping in distress, rigged upside down. The assassin escaped. It Is thought he belongs to the crew of the battleship Otchakoff and tlint he sought revenge for the putting to death of Lieutenant Schmidt, the naval revolutionary leader. Tlie diplomatic and consular officers were commissioned under the new low reorganizing that service. It being the Intention to inaugurate the reforms provided for as rapidly as possible. that the tellers agreed in their count and handed it to him for announcement. He In turn handed it over to Dr. Lake, the chairman of the convention, but the latter refused to announce it to the delegates. It Is believed by those competent to judge that in view of these facts Congressman Palmer will have no trouble In securing his proper place at the head of the Republican ticket. "Curt" Jett, the Convict, Queered the Prosecution by Another Confession •Hill}. neattyvllle, Ky.,jJuly 12.—' Jett, the -convict, who had freely confessed to his part |n the Marcum assassination, "doubls crossed" the prosecution when placed on the stand today. lie declared that he alone did the killing and at his own volition because Marcum had prosecuted him on several charges and the lawyer was his bitter enemy. The Penniwell's crew, only six men, rowed as near to the bark as they could. They were unable to go alongside owing to the intense heut, and Captain Furness, who was in personal command of the rescuing party, yelled for the Margarita's crew to jump into the sea and he would pick them up. Rings Up the Prosident. Hated by Sailors. Elislm Moore was arrested here because he was trying to Impress the villagers that he was In charge of the secret service force. lie telephoned to Sagamore Mill that lie would soon be out there and warned local saloon keepers that he would arrest them as soon as he got his uniform because of defects in their licenses.

He sold lie had a wife and family In Tompkinsville and if allowed Ills liberty would go to them. lie was sentenced to ten days' Imprisonment at Nassau for being drunk. "Curt" Admiral Chouknin was universally hated by Ills sailors, and when Bchmldt was put to death March 1!) the revolutionaries condemned him to death, 100 of their number pledging themselves to carry out the sentence. It was with much difficulty that this end was accomplished owing to the high seas, but as each man sprang overboard he was picked up and placed in the lifeboat. " From what can be learned there will be no certificates of nomination filed from the convention held in the afternoon, the minutes of the secretary showing that the convention adjourned at tD:30 to meet at 8 o'clock, to complete the nominations under the call of the county committee. Some of those who took a leading part in the proceedings following the adjournment do not believe that their action will stand and they appear to be salisllctl to let the matter rest in tiie interest of harmony. They will leave everything settled except the Congressional nomination, which will have to be aired In the Dauphin Chouknin, who has seen much active service, sternly suppressed the sailors' mutiny at Sevastopol last November. In February Cecelia Shabad, a Jewess, twenty-five years old. went to the admiral's official residence at Sevastopol and sent In a card and the message that she was the daughter of a rear admiral here," an old acquaintance'of Chouknin. On entering the admiral's office the woman drew a pistol and fired four shots, all of which hit him. As she turned to escape she was killed by the orderly at Chouknln's door. The police finally identified her as the daughter of o well to do merchant at Minsk, a former member of the Jewish bund there. Snivndor's nlleged nssistnnce of revolutionists In Guatemala who wore attempting to overthrow President Cabrera en used Guatemala to protest bitterly to the United States and Mexico nnd resulted In representations to Salvador by those two republics which indicated that they objected to foreign Interference In the Internal affairs of Guatemala. BAY STATE PROBES MEAT. It was so apparent that Jett has experienced a change of heart since the confession that Hargis and Callahan hired him to assassinate Marcum that the prosecution turned him over for cross-examination without asking who induced him to lire the shots. In this way every one from the bark was saved. According to Captain Furness, the crew would surely have perished In a few more hours, as the vessel seemed to be allre in all quarters. As near as he could determine, the flames must have originated in the midship hold, as the greater blaze was coming from this portion of the bark. The vessel being loaded with bituminous coal lent additional fury to the lire and made the heat more in Praises Manufacturers, But Finds Much Adulteration In Product, Boston, July 12.—In order that the people of Massachusetts might know the truth with regard to the nature of the canned meat products which are sold In this state the stato board of health has made public the result of an Investigation which It has been conducting into the matter. The board examined nearly 150 different kinds of canned meat from every possible source as well us the canned meat establish mepts. The reason for Jett's unexpected change In front may be found in the statement of Commonwealth's Attorney Adams, who said Jett was beastly drunk and that another attempt will be made tomorrow to get him to repeat Ills confession. As Margin is not mentioned the defense could not cross-examine him. The Roosevelt children are planning an informal party for tomorrow evening, when their playmates In the neighborhood will lie invited for a frolic and children's dance.

Ex-Candidate Objects to Statements From a ('IIIT Tills Morning Willie Made In Secretary's Speech Picking Berries. New York. July 12.—Former Judge Alton B. Porker in a statement mode public takes issue with some of the utterances of Secretary of War Tflft in the speech delivered at Oreensboro, N. C„ by Mr. Taft last Monday. Stella Miskell, aged 14 years, daughter of foreign-speaking parents living in Sugar Notch, met a terrible death this morning. The girl left her home for the purpose of picking berries along the line of the Lehigh Valley Railroad, a short distance from Sugar Notch.

The Margarita arrived in Philadelphia on May 13 from Santa Pola with a cargo of salt. The vessel came here, the captain being told that his vessel had been chartered to load coal for Barcelona, Spain. Developments In Democratic circles the past 4 8 hours indicate the nomination of former assistant district attorney Martin J. Mulliall as the candidate for district attorney. Although Attorneys Farrell and McCormick are putting- up a hard fight to capture the place it looks as though the powers that be are for Mulhall and that his competitors will find it an exceedingly hard task to overcome the big advantage he has gained In enrolling the big chiefs under his banner.Attorneys for the railroads mild that they had not been able to hrlng witnesses Into court to testify because the witnesses feared prosecution. The court in passing sentence said that he could see no extenuating circumstances In the granting of the rebates. After the entering of the sentence the defendonts gave notice of appeal. The fine Inflicted by Judge Landls Is Identical with that Imposed on Jhe Chicago, Burlington and Qulncy railroad In a similar wise by Judge Bethen In the United Stales circuit court. The large meat establishments were found to be conducted In nil particulars In a scrupulously nent and clean manner. Of twenty-five smaller establishments tive were found to be entitled to grade "excellent." The grent majority of slaughter houses in the small towns were found to be conducted without decent regard to ordiuury cleanliness. Judge Parker declares that the secretary 111 Ills speech sought to have the public draw the Inference that the recent prosecution of alleged Illegal combinations are due to new statutes. To this Judge Parker takes exception, and to support his contention lie quotes from Ills letter of acceptance and a speech subsequently delivered during the last presidential campaign. In ltoth the speech and the letter Judge Parker Is quoted as saying that the laws then on the statute lDook were entirely adequate If enforced. When the Margarita arrived hero the. Barcelona charter was found to bo a fake, and it was not until forty days later that Captain Alslen was able to charter his vessel. He then obtained a cargo consisting of 700 tons of bituminous coal for Halifax, where he was to load out -laths for Barcelona. Captain Alsien was the principal owner of the bark. The Terek was formerly the Hamburg-American line steamer Columbia. The Russian government bought her and converted her Into a cruiser during the war. Several armed robbers attacked Assistant Cashier (Jasperovltch as lie was leaving the navy paymaster's olttce. With him were a clerk and a porter carrying a bag containing $12.rD00.

There was a plan on foot to bring out Mayor Kirkendall, but ftis honor would not listen to it, John T. being his first choice If he wants the place.

Some of Lenuhan's closest friends aie booming Farrell, but It is believed that only a wave of the hand from the big chief will be sufficient to line them up for the candidate who will bring strength to Denahan's Congressional boom at the polls.

SMIES From a reliable source It was picked up yesterday that not only will Denahan be the nominee of the Democrats but his friends also hope to see him at the head of the Lincoln ticket In the county. They claim that his battle for Emery, Coray and fusion at Harrlsburg entitles him to some return from the local Dlncoln- Ites. How this is to be brought about Is Impossible to understand at the present time, as local Llncolnltes are just aa earnest In their advocacy of national Republican principles as are the stalwarts.
