EFL—The de- fense in the Lattimer trial called wit- nesses rapidly yesterday. They all told of being, chased or being fired at by strikers. The testimony is almost with- out exception given in English, and rapid progress is made. ‘The jurymen showed great interest in an announcement made by Judge Woodward that if they deSired they might take a bath at a bath house, where everybody else had been exclud— ed on the occasion. It is three weeks since the jurymen have bathed, as +here are no conveniences of that kind in their present quarters in the court house. Michael Becannon testified that on September 9, the day before the shoot- ing, he was chased by a crowd of strik- ers armed with clubs and that he heard shots from a revolver. August Winters, who works at the Pardee strippings, was chased from his work by six men armed with clubs. Next day a big crowd intercepted. him on his way to work, and told him ,he would be killed if he Avent on. ~ Ludwig Lowden, a pump runner, swore that he had been driven from his work in spite of' his telling the strikers that he was pumping the wa— ter out of the mines. ’ Robert Killiouse, a boss at the Cran- berry workings, told how he and two others were prevented from going to work by a crowd. of strikers. The strik- ers, he said, threatened to kill the men if they did not obey them and keep away from the works. George Ermold, a mine foreman, said he was on his way to work on September 9 with his little son, nine years old. Strikers stopped them and attacked the boy and beat him. Lawrence Ermold, the boy who had been beaten by the strikers, testi- fied as to his injuries. Robert McHugh, a breaker hand, swore that he was driven from his work by a crowd of strikers on September 9. He saw the crowd go to the woods and cut sticks for use as clubs. Many of them carried bludgeons shaped like a baseball bat. George Manskill testified that he was stopped by a crowd of strikers on Sep- tember 9 while on his way to work, and told that no workingman could get through alive. _ Philemon Hotchkiss swore that he saw the crowd chase John Kress and fire at him with revolver. Jacob Williams, boss of the Craberry breaker, swore that the mob stoned the oflicers of the breakers and stoned a crew that passed on a coal train. The croWd also entered the breaker and drove, the workmen out. They were armed with sticks. and mine tools. W'itness went to the breaker tower under orders to transmit signals of the movements of the marchers. From there he saw the mob go into the yards and houses and drag several men out of the houses. He also saw the crowd go to a heap of scrap iron and take such pieces of iron as they could carry. Mrs. Carrie Haas of Cranberry, saw the Strikers drag a sick man out of his house and forced him to go to Latti- mer with them. The man had been too sick to run away with the others. Several who ran into the bush were pursuedand two shots fired at them. During the cross-examination of a witness in the afternoon the alarm of fire sounded by the Court House bell boomed out. The fire was near the Court House, and Judge Woodward, old fireman that he is, adjourned court in order to give the spectators, a chance to get to the blaze. . Rev. Dr.. Hamlin, of Silver Brook, a Methodist minister, stated that armed strikers entered his yard and roughly handled and jostled him, pulled him on to the highway and forced him to march with them. He said he told them he was a minister of the gospel, but they paid no attention to that. He said he was rescued by Superintendent Snyder. The last witness for the day was W. H. Snyder, superintendent of the Sil- ver Brook Coal Company. He declared the strikers surrounded the breaker and compelled the engineer to stop his engine. American Exhibit. at Paris Exposition.

California Catarrh Cure, and now people buy and use it in per- fect confidence that it will do what it claims: that it- will cure every form, every trace of catarrh. Read what Mrs. I. F. Williamson. 24 Spring strecL,__ South Norwalk, says: ‘I got a bottle of California Catarrh Cure at Plaistcd‘s Drug store, for my daughter Kitty, who has been troubled quite badly with catarrh, and she finds that it has helped her very much. My sister has a15o used the medicine with most satisfactory results and joins me in saying that it is a fine medicine.” , Catarrh in its fully developed forms is a hideous disease, involving decay, filth and actual rottenness, with most offensive odors in the very seat of the organs of taste ahd smell; firmly fixed there, it begins to attack the membrane lining of the passages leading to the lungs or the stomach, resulting either in consumption, or what is often called dyspepsia. It is really catarrh of the stomach, intestines, liver, kidneys and various internal passages. Catarrh Cure will cure all forms of ca- tarrh, and will check even incipient consumption.

California, l<iLLED sv'AN AVALANCHE. it Swept Down a South Quebec Clifl‘, and Killed Eonr Persons. Quebec. Que, Feb. Zak—Four lives were lost in an avalanche at South Quebec Tuesday night, and two houses, built directly under the cliff, opposite the Grand Trunk Railway sheds, were destroyed. The disaster occurred with- out a moment’s warning. One house was crushed down by the weight of the snow, while the upper stories of the other were cut clean off from the first story and overturned in front of it upon the street. A whole family named Labrecque were in this upper part of the house during its somersault and es- caped practically unhurt. In the lower flat resided at man named Angers, his wife and six children. The father and two children, aged two and five, were taken out dead. Mrs. Angers is in a critical condition, and four children es- caped. In the other house James King re- sided witb his wife, son and daughter. Mr. King and his son and daughter es- caped serious injury, but Mrs. King is still under the ruins and is undoubt- edly dead. a' An Alaska Avalancc. ' Tacoma, Wash. Feb. 2i.——Two weeks ago an avalanche came thundering down the mountain slopes at the south end of Lake Bennett, in Alaska. An immense mass of snow and ice was de- posited on the Klondike trail and 200 tons of supplies were buried many feet. Their owners had stacked them up together in what seemed to be a. sheltered spot while they were whip- sawing lumber for boat building. They are now trying to dig out their outfits. So far as learned no one was injured by the avalanche. This news was brought down by John Ohlegschlager, who has just arrived here from Alaska. AUTONOMY A FAILURE. Lee’s Statement to 'Be Sent to Congress uin the Correspondence. Washington, Feb. 24.—IVhen the cor- respondence now being prepared on the Cuban situation is sent to Congress it will contain some startling information, and nothing will be more startling than the letter of Consul-General Lee, dated December 13, in which he states that autonomy is a failure. General Lee after giving his positive opinion in regard to the Sagasta policy, discusses at length the condition of the island under General Blanco and gives his views on the new plan of govern- ment. General Lee’s letter, while dated December 13, is corroborated by letters later in the month from all the Consuls on the island. All make the same state- ment. The Consuls report terrible suffering and loss of life all. over the island, and say that two-thirds of the inhabitants have died since the beginning of the war from disease and starvation. These letters will be sent to Congress in the correspondence which was asked for by the House, but it is the Administra- tion’s plan now not to send it to Con- gress until the Maine matter is settled. Much speculation is being indulged in asto what course the President will pursue after the correspondence is made public, because. in his annual message, he taed distinctinly that if autonomy was a failure he would act. WONDERFUL WORK. If This Had Happened in San Francisco Instead of Nor- walk More Than One Reader Would Dis- pute It. ' The average man is a doubter. due to this fact, coupled with necessity that such rapid strides have been made in mechanics and science. Curiosity and investigation are necessary in every business. Without it i ilurc is the inevitable result. Norwal people are asked to investigate the following; it- is a simple thing to do. The party interested is a South Norwalk citizen. He doesn’t live in Detroit or New York. Ask Chas. E. Warren, son of the well known oyster planter, George N. War- ren, of 2 Chestnut street, South Nor- walk, if the following is not literally true. “I had backache and weak kidneys from early childhood. i tried all kinds of remedies but never received any permanent benefit until I commenced using Dean's Kidney Pills. My father had been using them, and was so pleased with the result that I was in- duced to try them. I am satisfied that they are all that is claimed for them. They cured my backache. I am glad to recommend them to anyone who suf- fered at times as I did.” Glendening & Co., the druggists have scores of customers who testify just as emphatically about the results received from Dean’s Kidney Pills as Mr. “’ar- ren’s son. Drop in and see them. MAINE WAS BLOWN UP By an Explosion on the Port Bow, Outside. Havana (via Key W'est). Feb. 24.—— Divers have discovered cases of brown hexagonal powder for the ten—inch guns unexploded, and, believing also that others unexploded will be found in the ten-inch magazine on the star— did not grows that this magazine growns that this magazine did not blow up. If this be so—and many have insist- ed from the first that it is—the further conviction is forced that the explosion which wrecked the Maine came from the outside on the port bow. The main portion of the wreck, as seen from above and noted from be- low, was blown to starboard. The highest American officials here are confident that General Blanco and the other high Spanish officials had no knowledge, direct or indirect, of the conception or execution of a plot to blow up the Maine, if such a plot ex- isted: but they believe the junior Span— ish officers, who, from the nature of things, are more conversant with mod- ern explosives than their elders and superiors, were at the bottom of the disaster, if there was any outside agency. i l i F DYSPEPSIil, MALARIII.‘ .
