SET HIS BRAIN ON FIRE. A DRIINgARD'S SKULL CONTAINED ENOUGH ALCOHOL TO iifAKE FLAMES. "I was present at the autopsy of a noted old `rounder' of my town a few weeks ago," s•iid John A, Hollilay, of T'ioy N Y., at the Lindell, to a St Louis Globe Demo- crat reporter,,'"and 1 was atartled and shocked at what I saw. The dead man was about 60 years old and had been the town drunkard for 40 years. The doctors Fled ear- mised, that when they cut his head upsu a pfououncod smell of alcohol would isdna from the skull. "1 thought is only oue of 'those grim sore of j.tkr:s that the Esculap- inus imleI'e in sometimes when they A carving a fellowman to mince meat iu the interest of their eetence, "But I soon learned that it was no juke, for when the surgeon's saw had cut off the top of the mob's skull the odour of alcohol that filled the t•ooin was strong enough to al- most sifkeu one. "Then one of the surgeons struck a match and held it close to the brain. Immediately a blue flame envolgped the entire portion of the coreb•ral oruan exposed, and the quivering flesh sizzled as i.f ou a gridirou," "That experiment and disclosure set rue to very seriously thinking about the errbr of my way. I am not 'a temperance lecturer nor a Prohibitiou politician, but I roust moat respectfully and firmly decline your invitation to have something. I don't want my brain to fleet around in a sea of alcohol, as did that of the poor old town drunkard of Troy. There is no tolling how many other men's brains will reveal` the seine coudition it au autopsy is held upon them " • ONE OF POLITICS. Sir Chilies Dirace intimated that, although the coriit had found him guilty, he had evidence in his pos• session that would •enable him to clear his character, and he declared that he should not try to le•enrer Parliament till he had dune ea. This was apparently a pure piece of bravado. He never has cleared himself ; but, after waiting a few years till the -matter has somewhat blown over, he annunnces himself as iteein a candidate for Parlia- ment. A man with Dilke' srecord, including the circumstances which made his case so peculiarly heinous, couid not be elected to the L'aisla- ture from tee worst ward in Boston. Ile may quite possibly be elected in England, as he is uudor•stood to hold the miners of the Forest of Dean in tl:o hollow of hia hand ; bet his candidacy has naturally excited indignation and prostest. When Lady Aberdeen and many other members of- the Women's Liberal Federation, taking the same view as Lady Somerset, expressed them- selves in a letter to Mr. Gladstone as oppoaad to "the return to Parlia- ment of men who have been proved by the law court to have been guilty of gross immorality," they only voiced a sound and wholesome public sentiment. '1'o soy that Sir Charles Dilke "may have been" a sinner is hardly stating the case fairly. Sir Gharles was convicted by the courts of adul- tery with a young married woman, with whose msther he had been criminally intimate many years be- fore and who, there was only too much reason to fear, was his own 'daughter. The case excited a good deal of horror, and Sir Charles 1)ilke, in his behavior in co'lrt, did not scalp to the public to coed.. tlet, hinte'elf Pat' iculr!�ly '(.lino a Melia" life tr1E to '4hroit all the hl tete upon the WOMen -see SVOretql yaultg enough ,tv 'be kis daughter, OW relieved by litany jrereQ ia' to be 'actually his daughter, 14 Irae beep the .vt•ay of Aetna Mon, Prow Adore dowil, to, lay the Islat>ie of their own' misdoode lrcnt}e women tet 1 i uu } Lt u to aharacGgrize such a pOnree ire "manly'" would be a libel upon ntenheod. A Penland paper lately declared that tm jury would Convict Mr. Deacon for shoot' ing M.• Abei}ie, became .everybody liked see a man behave "like a wan.' '1'hjs called out from a Portland woman the pertinent query, "Like which maul" There are men and men. If Sir Charles Dilke should be elected, it will be a striking object lesson showing the need of 8ulfrage for womeu. Anti since Lady floury Somerset, with all her ability, philanthropy, and large "stake in the country," has not the privilege which belonge to the lowest of her day laborers., of oasttng a vote for members of Parliament, it would be hard if she might not use her in• direct influence against such a candidate as Diike,—The Woman's Journal. MANAGER FRICK SHOT. The preachments of so called liberty lovers are producing the natural consequences of their ex. ol•bitant preteriaions. 111r. Frick is manager of the Homestead iron works where the big strike for liberty, by a lot of workmen, to do what they like with what does not belong to them, is going on. As was his custom Mr. Frick took Juliet) at the Dugnrane Club at noon and returned to hia office at 1.30 o cloak. He went to the fifth floor, where be rr'uhauted but a few minutes. The office of Mr. Leigh• virtu, a business. partner of Mr. F,hck, adjoins that of the chairman, Mr. Leialona i came in and the two were holding a private conference, no one els,: being in the room. A flew minutes before 2 o'clock, Harry 1lecklsy, the office boy, noticed a man hastily push open the swinging gate in the railing that runs be, tweru the public portion and in. closure where the desks of the eteno;;raphers and clerks are located. There was no one near the private office door, and the boy hurried up to ask the intruder what he wanto.1, but he was too late, ite the strang- er had already entered the private apartment. As he entered the oflice Mr. Frick looked up, as dirt also Tdr. Leishivan, to see who it was. Mr. Frick was exerniuing a bundle of papers. The man sprang within about five feet of Mr. Frick and quickly draw. ing his revolver, pulled the trigger. The first cartridge did not explode; the second shot entered the back of Mr. Frick's neck,and,glancing down. ward, passed to the outside below the arm pit. Frick made an exclawa tion and jumped to the circular window on Fifth: avenue and tried in vain to oven it. The assailant passed quickly in front of the desk and, approaching close to Mr. Frick, fired again. The ball entered the muscle on the left ,tide of the neck cruel passed around to a lodgment under the right ear where it was later reached by the probe. At this instant Mr. Leishman threw himself on the would,be.assassln and wrestled for possession of the revolver. Leiahuhsn clutched the barrel and turned the muzzle ups ward as the catridge exploded, the hall entering the plastering near the ;lass partition. With agility tTie desperate man drew a dagger and attempted to stab L,vishman, ,who was holding the assassin lay the shoulder arid body. Mr. Frick saw tate gleam of the steel and although staggered by the shock of the wounds and bleeding profusely, jumped between the men and seized the man's arm. The latter freed himself from Leisthman's-grasp and plunged the dagger in Frick's right side just above the hip, making an ugly wound three inehee long. He made another lunge. This time the knife struck higher up but the point struck a rib and glanced down with- out inflicting much 'of an injury. Twice again was the knife thrust at Frick, but he was merely scratched by these last attempts to kill hire. The struggle was in full view of those on the street. By tide time the office boy and Deputy•Shoriff May. who just entered the .office as the first shot was fired, throw thmselves on the assassin. May had drawn hie re• volver and was about to shoot the fellow in the hack, when Frick cried out, "Don't kill him. We have got him all right ; leave him to the law." The man broke sway and tried to escape, but was secured and taken to the Central Police Station. The prompt action of Mr. Frick saved the lives of Mr. Leishman and his self appointed executioner. Mr. Frick's ivonnds are not be- lieved to he fatal. The would--be- murderer is Alex. Bergman and he came from New York. He is supposed to be an anarchist and that he was hired by the strikers to murder Manager Frick. After his arrest Bergman was found to have ityilabifte r'rtritlg(.& itt l►i • mouth with-'sxhiultta lClll ithueo11;: talle+i to t3zj,lada. APRIVAT.4lvTH . P.EY SY" ,.

Prick bad been shot, Private lacus gave vent to his feel- ings in this peduliar way, and wee overheard by Liuuteuaut•Colonel Streator, who is commanding the Tenth. Colonel Streator ordered the entire regiment to be drawn up in lice, and then he directed the man who proposed the cheers for Berkman to advance to the front. After ik little delay Iams stepped forward. When asked why he had been guilty of such a thing he as sowed the air of a braved° and re- fused to answer. Ile was asked to apologize, but he refused to du so. He was then sent to the guard house and his case was re- ported to blajor General Suowden who ordered a court martial. The regimental officers held the hearing in the matter, and as latus admitted his guilt and refused to apologize, court martial ordered that half the hair of his head and half his mous tache be shaved off and that he be strung up by the thumbs thirty min- utes, tie stripped of his uniform, dis- honorably discharged and drummed out 01 camp. Atter having his head and lnuustaehe shaved as directed, Iams was hawed 01 by the thu'mbe. Fur twenty minutes he sudured the -torture and tiler he lust csnacious- ueas. Two surgeons ordered that he be cut down at once or he world soma be dead. He was cut down, and alter the doctors revived him he was stripped of his uniform and given an olcl pair of overalls to wear. \V ith °lily those, a shirt and au old hat, he was led out of the camp to Swissvale staliou, to the time of "Rogue's March." The entire provisioual brigade witnessed the humilatiug spoctacle.t .Iams is 24 years old, and is a fa'rber. Ile is a member of oars of the oldest fatuities of Greene couuty, and is related to litany of the most prowl inent people of the county. Opinion is divided as to the punish- ment, and many of the ofliceis of the guard think it too severe. Some of them say that haugiug up by the thuwbs is not permitted by the regulations, nor is the shavigo of the head. As General Snowden approved the finding of the court inertial, they refused to give their views publicity. SI1OO1'ING STARS. A PLAIN EXPLAINATION OI'' A SIGIiT TET IS PUZZLING Every year shooting stars present the most interesting spectacle on elle night of Aug. 107 and frequent- ly also on the two following nights. If the ]light ie clear and the obser- vation is not disturbed by the mooulight, one may couut hundreds and even thousands of falling ears these throe nights, all coming ap- parently from the same quarter of th# heavens, the constellation of Perseus. ,THE STARS' 0REIT, the fact that the earth takes three days to pass through the shower of shooting stars affords a measure of the enormous s':ace they occupy, the more so that they cross our orbit at tight angles to the earth's course. Their orbit ,is a long one and corresponds with that of the great cermet of 1862, which reaches a distance of 7,104,000,000 kilo - graces from the sun, approaching it at intervals of 121 years. This immense orbit appears to be full of shooting stars. Another date equally interesting for the observe. Lion of shooting stars is Nov. 14. —It has always been generally On this date they are even more believed that snow keeps the ground numerous than on Aug. 10. At warm, hut no very accurate data on intervals of thirty-three years they the subjoot has hitherto been forth - fall on this date as thick as snow- coming. Accordingly it is inter - flakes. Two hundred and forty esting to learn, from observations thousand are estimated to have recently made at Katherineburg, fallen on Nov. 14, 1833 ; the phen• that at a depth of fourteen inches omenon repeated itself in 1866, the soil, when covered with two and we look forword to its recur- feet of anew, was 10 degt•eoe warmer rence in 1899. The November than at the surface. shooting stars appear to come out of the constellation Leo. The course of this group corresponds to that of the comet of 1886, near the orbit of Uranus, at a distance of 2,840 kilometers from the ern, which it approaches every thirty- three years. In the year 126, A. D. this comet, under the attraction of Uramus, was deflected from its original course and Dade a member of the solar system. The two dates above mentioned are not, however, the only odes on which shooting stars in considerable numbers may be observed. Among others Nov. 27 may bo mentioned or on this clay in 1872 and again stuff -gown and ready to go on Aro Were . pIserved. 1E'. ai906 where &• woo :on Che 'latter deter tate plterloo,Qoa11 exoit,ed mot Wow. I►o oven ,the Pope was evidautiy Pow Uon oved,. for eolue• days later, when 1 had the honor, of bollig re, celee.d by hia iolineee, his firet words were: l'tfrt Silowi9tt or 1872. "Did D .l see ee the golden Y ggll u shower of .Donee?," The shower of fixed stars of 1§7Z was entirely unexpect- ed by the "aetronomers. They had been lurch disturbed at the loss of Bala's comet, wilich, after its discovery, eteadily mado ite . appalling() at intervals of six and a half years until 1846, in aeoordanoe with its computed ooul•ee. Olt this occasion, while pursuing its course on the night of Jen 13, it split in two pieoee diver— ging from each other as theypur ued their several courses. Both wore visible on their return In 1853, but they were pale and faded and more than 2,000,000 ltilotnetere apart. It was the last sight. From that date the Bela cothet has never been seen again. It i8 vanished, anni- hilated, burst up into shooting stars. Were this not so it roust have trisect• ed the earth's orbit on Nov. 27, 1872, and actually bavo come into contact with it. In its stead there appeared unexpectedly the above mentioned shower of stars, and the conclusion was that theee smell bodies were the remains of the Bela comet, a conclusion unquestionably confirmed by the observations of Nov. 27, 1885. This, then, is one of the latest conclusions of science : Shooting stare ere the fragments of shivered comets, Comets, iti fact, are coin paratively short-lived bodies, few of them persisting beyond a few thous- and years, and the smaller ones for a much less period only, while the duration of a planet like our earth extends to trillions of years. The great comets which frightened our ancestors would doubtless he found to have lost much of their brilli- ancy, if wo could see and ideutify them ; for during their course around the sun they coutinually throw off vapor and fiegulents, and are thus constantly subject to diol inntion. HACKED TO DEATH. A CRAZY SCOTCo BANK CLERK'S GORY DEED—TIIttEE VICTIMS. Jarnes Frazer, a ban siding in the village Scotland ono oven rushed into the house clerk, re- olnlont, TT all; week f a neigh- bor with a drawn sword. in hia hand' and without a word of warning made a murderous attack upon him; slashing with his weapon at all who came to rescue his victim. The neighbor made a good fight, but all his attempts to disa"i'f• n Frazer were unavailing, and at last, weakened by loss of blood, which flowed from, tnany wounds, he was unable to re• slat longer, and was hacked to death. The murderer then turned his attention to the wife of his vic- tim, inflicting upon her wounds which will result in her death. Not satisfied with his bloody work ho rushed from the house, and meeting a young women on the highway, cut and stabbed her with the sword he still carried until he had killed her. • The murderer was finally captured after a desperate struggle. He is believed ,to be in- sane, —. —mak —Sheriff Sutton, Bruce county, Watt fined $5 and costs on a charge of assaulting Constable Heffernan while on duty in the court house. The sheriff appeared and Judge Barret quashed the conviction. The Telescope says .—After bearing the evidence, His Honor held that Heffernan had received no bodily injury, and that he had not com• plained of injury in any other way. He held that the sheriff, as the chief officer in charge during the pro- gress of the court, had a right toeen- force obsdienco from his subordina• tea, and had a perfect right to dis- miss those who were insubordinate, He therefore sustained the appeal, the costs following the event. In other words, Heffernan had to pay the costs, which amounted to $28. —Hermann Roeder, who died a few days ago in Lisbon, was former- ly the tutor of Queen Maria II. Roeder was born in Saxony, but went to Portugal in 1850 as pro• lessor of German in one of the col- leges. Ile was very popular in his adopted country, and for a time was private secretary of Ring Don Luiz. --Prince Alfred of Edinburgh is studying law at the University of Munich, but will have to finish off his education and "eat his terms" at the Middle Temple, London, whence 11e will emerge, as his uncle, the Prince of Walee did, a full fledged barrister, entitled to his in 1885 at least 100,000 shooting circuit. s The NEWS -RECORD Is in a better position than ever to turn out The Very Finest Printing At prices as low as any other office in the West, Those in need of any class of Job Printing should call on THE NEWS-StECORD, Albert Street, Clinton CLINTON FURNITURE WARUROONIS. • For the House Cleaning season we have a complete Stock of BEDROOM SUITS, 1)INJNGROOM SUITES, PARLOR SUITES, • ODD CHAIRS, CENTRE TABLES, HALL BACKS, PICTURES, PICTURE MOULDING, CURTAIN POLES, Etc.

It appears that Varner and the young lady were engaged tos-be married, and that during their court- ship he gave her various sums of money, 013 ono occasion as much as $50, besides providing her with various articles of clothing and giv- ing her some valuable presents. For some reason the wedding did not come off and Varner accused ]]Mies Walker of breaking off the engagement, and resorted to the police court to recover the money he had given her. Miss Walker agreed to return the $6 hat ebe was wearing as well as some dresses he had bought for her and her engag ment ring. A satisfactory agree- n-ent could not be reached, how- ever, and the case was enlarged until next Tuesday. STRONGER EVERY DAY.
