A llIEXICAN REIGN OF TERROR.
All Suspected Revolutionists Put to
Death and Then Tried.
RIO GRANDE CITY, Tex., Oct. 27,—A
reign of terror exists all along the Men-
can border of the Rio Grande river, and
the inhabitants are flocking into Texas in
droves. So frightened are the Mexican
authorities that a person even suspected
. of having intercourse with any of the
Garcia band is arrested, hanged or shot,
ifter which he is tried.
The body of a nephew of Julian Flores,
ii suspected revolutionist, was found
swinging to a. tree, with nineteen bullet
holes in it, about seven miles below R10
Grande City, on the Mexican Side. He
had been arrested some days beforehand
left for Victoria under a guard of soldiers.
No one was bold enough to cut the body
down for fear of meeting a similar fate.
Felipe Salinas, another member of Gar-
cia’s band, was also caught and Shot
Oct. 8. , _
The soldiers say these men were killed
under warrant of a statute called “La
Ley Fuego.” It is a law permitting the
shooting of a prisoner who attempts to
escape. By its warrants hundreds of men
have been executed in Mexico within the
last two years. A political prisoner is
given to understand that he must make a
break for liberty, and if he does not he
will be shot anyhow. The victim is al-
lowed to put some ten yards between
himself and his captors, and is then tum-
bled on his face with bullets through his
back.

Caiigan left Woburn she was in her usual
health.

WALT Til-llTlilN DYING
The “Good (logy Poet” is Fast Ap-
proaching Dissolution.
STRICKEI‘T Wire—PARALYSIS
It Is Slowly Nearing the Heart and the
End‘May Come at Any Moment—
The Poet
“There His Body Is to Lie.
Has Chosen the Spot
CAMDEN, N. J ., Oct. 27.——It is believed by
friends of \Valt W'hitman that the “good
gray poet” is fast approaching his end.
He is now nearly seventy-three years old,
and during the past few months his in-
firmities and feebleness have increased to
an alarming degree.
He cannot leave his bed without assist-
ance, and his one faithful servant is in
constant attendance upon him. His doc-
tors say that the paralysis, which has now
rendered him completely helpless, is slowly
approaching the heart, and that he may
pass away at any moment.
Despite his enfeebled condition, his mind
is apparently clear
and active, and he
spends some time
every day in read-
ing and dictating
_while sitting in
his easy chair at
the front Window
. ’ of his study in his
modest little cot-
tage. Only his
pgmost intimate
it friends are allow-
” ed to see him, and
his callers are few.
It is too much of
"1’ l 5 lg/
'-’ _ an effort for him
WALT WHITMAS‘ to receive stran-
ers, many of whom formerly visited him
in his quiet retreat.
His Grave Picked Out.
The poet realizes that death is not far
off, and has already chosen the spot where
he desires his body to rest. It is in the
prettiest and most picturesque corner of
Harleigh cemetery, about a mile from
Camden.
It is a natural mound, shaded by majes-
tic oaks aztd chestnut trees, near the edge
of a steep decline, at the bottom of which
a swiftly flowing mountain stream dashes
over the rocks and loses itself in a beauti-
ful little lake. A winding roadway passes
through the woods close to the spot which
he has selected for his last resting place.
W alt \Vhitman was born at West Hills,
Suffolk county, L. I., on May 31, 1819. His
education was obtained at the New York
and Brooklyn public schools, and at an
early age he learned the printer’s trade.
In 1847 and 1848 he made a tour of the
country, roughing it everywhere and
studying the life of the people. He after-
ward edited a paper in Huntington, L. I.,
and then at New Orleans.
“Leaves of Grass,” which has made him
famous among the poets of the world, was
published in 1855. He has been styled the
“Poet of Democracy,” although the critics
at first made fun of his “barbaric yawp,”
as they called it.
Mgr. Preston Rallies.
NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The condition of
Mgr. Preston, who is very ill at St. Ann’s
rectory, and who was given the last sacra-
ments on Saturday, has improved, and
hopes are entertained that'he will recover.
Harrity May Succeed Brice.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 27.—It was reported
here, about circles where Democrats con-
gregate, that William F. Harrity, secre-
tary of the commonwealth, would succeed
Calvin S. Brice, as chairman of the Na-
tional Democratic committee. Mr. Har-
rity having been chosen to fill the vacancy,
caused by the death of Congressman Scott,
on the committee, this fact is taken as
strong basis for the report.
Children Perish by Fire.
VVINNIPEG, Man, Oct. 27.—A Fiertled
dispatch says that two sons of Robert
Newsham, aged three and five years, being
left alone in the house, were playing With
powder. The powder caught fire and the
house was burned. The two children per-
ished in the flames.
Her Hundredth Birthday.
GAYSVILLE, Vt., Oct. 27.—Miss Lettice
Lee Bowen, who was born in Royalton,
Vt., Oct. 26, 1791, celebrated her 100th
birthday Monday. She has been bodily
feeble for the past four years, but her
mind is clear and she reads without
glasses.
Eton Flooded.
LONDON, Oct. 27.—-The town of Eton and
a number of the streets of Windsor are so
flooded as to be impassable for pedestrians.
People are being conveyed from house to
house in flat bottomed boats.
Editor Spaulding Dead.
WINSTED, Conn, Oct. 27.—Frederick
Spaulding, editor of the Norfolk Tower
and well known in Connecticut, is dead.
BRIEF MENTION.
Afiurder which occurred in Berlin bears
all the horrible evidences of having been
committed by Jack the Ripper or by some
one who closely imitated his bloody work.
There is no clew to the perpetrator.
The jury in the case of the Scranton
councilinen, accused of bribery, failed to
agree and were discharged.
Extensive floods arelravaging certain de-
partments in France and causing a great
deal of damage. At one point a landslide
occurred which caused great consterna-
, tion along the country side.
Michael Hamle committed suicide in the
Scranton jail by hanging himself with a
towel.
It was authoritatively announced in
Washington. that Dr. von Hollehen, Ger-
man minister to Japan, had been appoint-
ed minister to the United States to succeed
the late Count Area-Valley. It is not ex—
pected, however, that he will assume
charge of the German legation in this
country before the spring.
Two colored men shot and killed Jerry
Buckley and wounded Harry Stein at
Sharpsburg. The two men were taken to
the Pittsburg jail for fear of lynching by
an angry crowd.
Hughes De Long and Howard Sheeder
were arrested at Douglasville for attempt-
ing to wreck a train on the Philadelphia
and Reudin g railroad.
Detectives unearthed the headquarters .
of the green goods business in New York
and arrested the two head operators and
leaders. A cipher code, some list of. names,
and a great deal of information of value to
the police was obtained.
