HIS SKELETON DISCOVERED. Found by American Prospectors in a Gorge Through Which the Fa etas Vcrdas River Runs? Effects Showed That I* 1 Was All That Remains of the So-Called Divine Healer?Seen Last by Cowboys. El Paso, Tzxas. (Special).?A week ago two American prospectors found in the foot hlllsof the Sierre Madre on the Puetas Yerdas River, thirty-flve milee southwest of G.asa Grande, in the State of Chihuahua, Mexico, all that remains of Francis Schlatter, the "Divine Healer," who, a year ago, was the subject of much wonderment throughout the Western States, particularly in the 8outhwest. The prospectors* attention was attracted to his camp by espying a saddle astride a limb in a dead tree high up in a gorge through which the river runs. Schlatter's skeleton was found lying stretched FRANCIS SCHLATTEE. (The "Divine Healer." whose skeleton has been foifhd in Mexico.) Alt* An o Klintat Mn trt thA trAA Wia bones were bleached white, and alongside lay the copper rod and a miniature baseball bat. Piled up alongside the trunk of the tree were saddlebags, a large memorandum book, a package of letters bound by a rubber band, some blankets, and six snits of underwear. A Bible and a canteen were alongside the pile, and the canteen was half full of water. The saddle ropes and some extra clothing were directly over the skeleton on a limb of the tree. In a knot hole in the tree were found needle, thread, and buttons. In the inside cover of the Bible was inscribed the name "Francis Schlatter," under two verses in prayer followed, by the signature "Clarence J. Clark, Denver, Col." There wert no signs of violence, and the prospectors believe Schlatter died of self-imposed starvation, as there were no cooking utensils of any kind in jamp. The Jefe Politico at Casa Grande was notified on May 30. and on June 2 the skeleton and effects" were brought to that village, R-here the authorities hold them awaiting a claimant. Casa Grande is situated fifteen miles from the present terminal of the Rio Grands, Sierre Madre and Paciflc Railway -a new line for the past year under construction from ?1 Paso to Casa Grande. Americans at Casa Grande examined the letters and other effects and pronounced them undoubtedly those of Schlat:er. An Indian informed" the authorities that several months ago he came upon a gray horse in the neighborhood wnere ine camp was found. The horse was hobbled. I A Mormon cowboy said that during the month of November last Schlatter rode j up to his camp, fifty miles west of Casa Grande on a gray horse. He was unarmed, carried no provisions or cooking utensils, refused to eat anything, and said he was fasting. The cowboy 6aid his visitor seemed strange and preoccupied, and during the few hours at his camp cured the cowboy's horse of a swelling on the back and forelegs by rubbing his hands over them. He identified the saddle at Casa Grande as that of his visitor in November. It bears the marks of a Denver manufacturer. Francis Schlatter, three years ago, was a shoe cobbler in Denver, and earned a precarious living at his trade. He began to hear "silent" voices, as he said, and in obedience to their commands gave away his tools and began a pilgrimage toward the Pacifio Coast. He was arrested several times as a vagrant and thrown into jails, He footed the entire distance, and returned to New Mexico, where he was heard of among the Indians as the messiah in the early part of last year near Albuquerque. The newspaper reporters discovered that he was followed by mobs of Indians and that he cured the sick by touching the afflicted with his hands. He fasted for forty days, laboring continuously, and went to Denver, where he was besieged daily by immense throngs from all parts of the country. He suddenly disappeared from there when some fakirs were arrested for selling handkerchiefs blessed by him, against whom he was summoned as a witness. He was soon afterward found in New Mexico, traveling through the most uninhabited part, going southward. He was last seen by coyboys near Lordsburg, nine months ago, going toward the Mexican line. Carpet Beating a Health Menace. It is probable that the San Francisco Board of Health will order the carpet beating establishments removed from thickly populated districts and placed where there is less danger from them to the public j health. Anciher Urbana Victim. One more victim was added to the fatalities at Urbana, Ohio, preceding the lynching of Mitchell when Wesley Bowen diedBowen wa< shot in the hip, having two wounds. The physicians had some hopes of his recovery, but his strength gave way, and his decline was rapid. Bowen lived at Cable, a small town on the Pennsylvania Railroad, northeast of Urbana. and he was one of the many country people who formed a large part of the crowd that surrounded the jail and court house.

Cruelties Alleged to Hare Been Practised on the Philippine Islands. Further interviews with officers of the steamer Hupeh. at Yaneouver. British Columbia, elicit the fact that twenty-flve Catholic monks were roasted by the rebels ! in the Philippine Islands, and not by Span- J r ish troops, as previously reported. The in- ) formation was furnished by a prominent resident of Ilo-Ilo. in the group of islands, and corroborated by a foreign consul. In consequence of the cruelties practised by the Spanish troops on the rebels or those suspected of being in sympathy with the rebel cause, the rebels'in revenge perpetrated acts of cruelty on the hapless monks who came in their clutches. The customary mode of roasting sucking pigs in the island is by thrusting a bamboo through the pig and then fastening it to an iron and roasting it over a slow Are. This was done to the monks, the bamboo being thrust through them while they were alive. CANOVAS SUSTAINED. Queen Christina Decides to Retain Him as Spain's Premier. The Queen Regent of Spain has confirmed Senor Canovas, the Premier, in his ministerial powers and the Cabinet will remain in office, with personnel and policy unchanged. All the leading members of the Senate and of the Chamber of Deputies who were consulted by Her Majesty, as well as three marshals, advised the recall of CaptainGeneral Weyler from Cuba. But it is understood that the Government dees not contemplate anv immediate chanee ! In Jthe supreme command in Cuba. The surprise and displeasure of the various sections of the opposition are not easy to describe. SUICIDE OF A LAWYER. Knhn Killed Himself on the Eve of Hi* Wedding Day. A special from Ligonier, Penn., gives an account of the suicide of R. S. Kuhn, a lawyer, at Frank's Hotel there. Kuhn was to have married Miss Minnie Leasure In the morning, and had made every arrangement for the wedding. He went to his room at about 9 o'clock the night before apparently in the best of spirits. Later he was found lying on the floor dead, with a bullet hole in his temple. In the pocket of the dead man, who was said to have been worth $75,000, was found a will, in which he leaves $5000 to Miss Leasure and the balance to his brother, John L. Kuhn, a Presbyterian minister at Altoona, Penn. MINER AND SUPERINTENDENT KILLED Two Deaths Follow a Labor Kiot In Illinois. A serious labor riot occurred at Minonk, 111. The coal miners there have been on a atrike since May 1. Last week a few men were working against the wishes of the majority. While Superintendent A. Mor- 1 gan and one of the* bosses, Joseph Erbe- ' land, were escorting one of the men to work, a crowd of miners interfered. A ( light ensued and Morgan and Erbeland j began to shoot, killing instantly a young married miner, John Weloaki, and wound- ' Ing another. This so enraged the miners < that they Attacked Morgan and lErbeland with clubs and stones and beat them badly. Morgan died later. Chiselled off a Kiwi's XoH. Samuel Mellon, the successful aspirant for the hand of a Plymouth (Penn.) young woman, has been horribly disfigured by his 1 rivals. Joseph Riscock, John Prosus and s Anthony Sedok had also been suitors of the i foung woman. Mellon proposed, a few ' lights ago, and was accepted. His rivals 1 were furious and threatened his life. As t Mellon was returning with the young wo- < nan from the home of a friend he was ac- 1 tested by his rivals, who, without a word, { threw him down and hacked off his nose i with a sharp chisel. In his struggles his i lace was horribly lacerated. < i A Minister Killed by His Son. A dispatch from Barbourville, Ky., says that the Bev. Berry Lawson, a Methodist ninister, was shot and instantly killed by Ms fifteen-vear-old son, Isham. The father j irhipped the boy on 8undav for some tlight offence and he left home. The pui^shment rankled in the little fellow's tieart, and he returned home this morning,; ind finding his father in a cornfield, slipped ip behind him and blew his head from his thoulders with a shotgun. The youthful parricide escaped. These Are Good Indians. The Yaqui Indians, of Mexico, have been >rganized into a State militia, and Juan Baldonado, Chief of the tribe, has been ap- j pointed military commander of the force at ? salary of $60 a month.

There Is no Ferris wheel at the Tennessee Centennial Exposition, but they have something which is quite as original, a giant seesaw that will tilt hundreds of people at once nearly 200 feet up into the air. This gigantic seesaw is built entirely of steel and its height is greater than that of the Ferris wheel. A. J. Dyer, a Nashville man. designed it, and the thing occupies a prominent place on the Nashville Midway, which is known as "Vanity Fair." The seesaw is the most popular feature of the fair % ~ HAST SEESAW AT TEXXESSEE EXPOSITION.! i ind visitors prefer to ride on it rather than :o look at the many wonderful displays of | irts, crafts and sciences tnat may ne seen | , n the main buildings. . *, The foundation is placed on a terrace wenty-flve feet high. The main support >f the structure is a tower 100 feet in height, ' milt entirely of steel. Across the top of I his tower there is swung a rectangular iteel beam 200 foot in length. On either 1 ind of this beam is suspended a car capable ! >f holding about forty persons. < When one end of the beam is depressed; 1 ind the other raised to its greatest limit he total height is somewhat under the; , (eight of the supporting tower. This makes he greatest height of the structure some- 1 hing less than 200 feet. To this must be (ddel the height of the terrace, namely, wenty-flve feet. A person, therefore, who ! akes "a ride in this seesaw is gently lifted rom the earth to an elevation of nearly I 25 feet. ! The motor and machinery are built es>ecially for the seesaw, and, rather curious- ' y, are located in tho top of the tower, a "act which enables the engineer who runs he motor to assert that he is the highest ' n the world. The machinery drives the earn by means of cog gearing, operating in two large twenty-llve-foot arcs. MASSACRE Or A BRITISH FORCE- 1 i Treacherous Natives on India's Frontier i Annihilate a Military Column, A despatch from Simla, the residence of , he Indian Government officials during the ] leated periods of the year, announces seri- ; us trouble on the northern frontier and ^ he massacre of a number of British officers i md native soldiers in the Government emdoy. t From the particulars abtainable at pres- f nt it seems that two guns belonging to a ; lombay mounted battery, escorted by 300 s nen belonging to the First Regiment of j iikhs and to the First Punjab infantry,were ; reacherouslv attacked in the Tochi Valley ( y a large fo'ree of hostile natives. The first report said that Colonel Bunny, j wo officers and twenty-flvo privates had 3 ioen killed, and that three officers and 5 wenty-fivo privates had been wounded, n addition, numbers of mules and horses i re reported killed. i Further details show that a political , ifflcer, Mr. Gee, was voting Shiran! with 4 m escqrt of troops, when he was attacked ,t Mniza by vastly superior forces. The v Jritish troops were compelled to retreat, * nd were followed for several miles by a iverwhelming numbers of the enemy. 5 The fighting was desperate. All the j tritish officers were severely wounded, laptain Browne, of the First Sikhs, a son : f the late Sir James Browne, and Lieu- , enant Crookshank, of tho Royal Artillery, i rere killed, and 8urgeon Higginson, Lieu- ] enant of the First Sikhs, and Lieutenant <, eaton-Browne, of the Punjab infantry, 3 rere wounded. i iCED WOMAN STARVED TO DEATH. ler Idiotic Brother Sat Beside the Body v ?large Sams of Money In the House. t Miss Hannah King, aged eighty-five, was j, c<und dead in bed at her home in Philadol- i hia, and sitting beside her on a chair, n live, was her idiotio brother, a man about '' er age.

The only food found in the house ras a crust of bread as hard as a stone and a overed with mould. The two occupied he same house for fifty years, but for the 1st eight years have seldom been seen on be streets. The aged couple possessed' onsiderable property between them, rhich, it is said, will amount to $100,000. t is believed that large sums of money are idden about the house, and a squad of polee has been placed on guard. The idiotic rother. who is unable to give any explanaion, was sent to the Philadelphia Hospital. THREE-CENT FARES UPHELD. upreme Court of Indiana Declares the Law Constitutional.
