BKAT THE Itl-XOHD.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.—Signor Succi, the Italian faster, who begun a fast ol forty-five days on Nov. 5 at 8:10, ended his taslc at 8 20 Saturday ni^lit. The little bundle of nerves, sinews nd muscles has accomplished what no one else ever did or over attempted. Other fosters have gone forty days without food, but they were so weals thuttliey eoulil not sit up. Dr. Tanner could not sit up after the tenth dayj and could not write his name after the fifteenth day, but Succi has scorned the ideaof weakening all through the weary weeks. On his fifteenth day he rode seven miles on horse-back and has exercised every day since. The doctors took the last examination at 0 o'clock, the result of which is as follows: Weight, 104% on November 5 at 8:10, 14 7,[.{\ a total loss of 42X pounds, or less than a pound a day: temperature, 9S.2 pulse, 02 respiration, 19 gener*.l condition, weak tongue, clear, moist and steady. The bulletin was signed by the thirteen physicians who have watched during the fust. The worst attack of gastric trouble that he had during his fast occurred at 5 o'clock Saturday, during which his pain was so acute that it was feared that he would collapse, but liis indomitable will power carried him successfully through. From 4 o'clock until he took liis first cup of cocoa, at 8:20, his pain continued to be more or less acute. It was evident in many ways by the distortions of his face, which was terribly shrunken by his frequent change of position on the lounge upon which he was reclining: by the nervous twitching of his wasted hands by the restless glare of his deep, sunken eyes, and in various other ways. When the cocoa was prepared, shortly after 8 o'clock, Succi got oft' the lounge and staggered to the table where the nouirsliing diet was placed. The spectacle he presented was truly pitiable, lie looked like a skeleton automaton, and when he smiled it was simply ghastly. When he sipped the cocoa there was a burst of applause from the spectators.

During the forty-five days of his fast 'Succi drank 2!)l ounces of Croton water, 709 ounces of mineral water, and ate ounces of ice. Besides this he took 710 drops of his elixir, which he avers contained only IS grains of opium. He only took the elixir during thirty-seven days of the fast, as he used more of it during the first three and lust four days. [Succi bus undergone the orileal of going without fomMongnr ami moro froquontly thin any otlier nfthi. His llrst fast was In Italy a dozen years ago. when he essayed and carried out a last of lulrty days. This feat in a land where eating Is tho principal Industry at once made him famous, and to satisfy doubters ho fasted thirty-live days. Thirty-live times after that he showed to its people of Europe that he could do without food as easily as they could draw breath. In April of last vear he appeared In Lon don and created a sensation by proposing to fast for fortv days. He besan this fast on St. Patrick's day and carried It out successfully. Or. the day that ho ended tnc tin' del-taking 10.000 people saw him cat a hearty moot. He lost thirty four pounds In that fast, but regained It In two weeks He made SR.OOO In that undertaking, or about J3,!I00 moro than lie lia!j cleared in New York. em

Other falters liavc preceded Rucct In this country. In 187H_ Mitw Mollle Kane her, of Brooklyn, attracted the attention of medical men and scientists by going without food for fifty 'uys at least sho said she did but when Dr. Hammond offered to give hor SI,0.J0 If she would abstain for one month under surveillance she declined tlie offer. Dr. Tanner, who was then a practicing physician in a small Ohio town, saw Br. Hammond's Oder to the Fanclier woman and offered to bet that he could abstain from food for a period of forty days. Tlie wager was made and in February, ISS0, Dr. Tanner began to do without food ir Clnrendon Hail In this cfty. A committeo of physicians who wan-hod him dcclartul that Tanner bad partaken of nothing hut water in the spool* fled time. In the presence of y.OOO poople ho broke his fast, watermelon being his Jlrst meal. Tanner refused to undertake the feat a second time and has never tried it. Of recent years the most famous fasters have been "The Attica Sleeper*' and Mrs. Wuchter, the Allentown (Pa.) paralytic, whose friends say she went without food for 101 days.)

DEATH EYRAUD'S DOOM. T?.e I'nrlrt Strungler la Condemned—Ex* tcnnntlng: Clrcumatnnee* Itetliica Gabrlrlle iloinpitrri'H PanUhment to Twenty Years lit TrUon.

PARIS, Dec. 22.—Eyraud, the strangier, must die by the guillotine, and Gabrielle Bompard, his accomplice, is doomed to pass twenty years in prison. This was the ending of one of the most celebrated trials that ever excited Paris. The arguments were concluded Saturday afternoon and the case was given to tho jury. After a short' deliberation a verdict was returned finding both' defendants guilty. The announcement of the verdict caused great excitement In tho crowded court-room. Gabrielle liompard covered her face with her handkerchief and seemed overcome bv her terror. Eyraud turned deathly pule, but maintained, his stolidity of manner. The court then sentenced Eyraud to death by the guillotine and Gabrielle Bompard to twenty, years' imprisonment with hard labor. [Qouffc, the victim or fcyroml and Uabriclle

Bompard, was a mlsi they deliberately planned to take his lift in order to get his money. The woman Jured him Into her room and played with his sinful fancy until tho man sebicd and strangled him, she says with his hands, be says with a cord supplied him for that purpose by her. They disposed with shocking indifference of his body by putting It Into a sack, and then fled tho country, the woman, after traversing the United States, going back oi her own free will and confessing, tho man, pursued by a noted detective, captured in Cuba and taken back to Paris. The woman, either Impelled to It by the Instinct ot self-preservation or Induced by an ambitious lawyer to adopt tho novel theory that ho might oxplolt it, claimed.' that she did not voluntarily incriminate herself, but was made an involuntary accessory by Eyraud, who hypnotized her. Expert* were Introduced by both tho State and the dofense, without, however, demonstrating positively cither that Eyraud hypnotized liompard or that persons can be made involuntary agents of crime by hypnotism.)

Rival Politician^ Hold MeeilngK Ht tike Cliuroli Doom, Haranguing the Vor«hlpf»ri HH They Come from Musi.

HARIUNOTON AIDS PAIIXKM..

KII.KKN.VV. Dee. 22.—The Catholic churches all over North Kilkenny were literally raided Sunday by rival politicians. who captured the congregations en masse as the people left their pews and harangued them 011 to-day's elections. Davitl and six other Irish members went into I'aniell'sstronghold and held sixteen ehurehstep meetings. After early morning mass twenty meetings were held and more after the last morning mass. During the afternoon they canvassed from house to house among the people whom I'arnell has considered surely 011 his side.

I'arnell personally only made two speeches, but liis aids seatt,-red through the country in time for early mass and kept the church campaign going merrily throughout the day. Kilkenny town was aroused early by the stirring music of fife and drum squads, the men inarching through the streets with green flags and banners. The morning was cold, the trees and fields being white with a thick frost. I'arnell started early in a closed carriage with I aiulidate Scully, and hurrying across the country caught the congregation of Pitt Catholic Church just as iliey were coming from mass. ile was temporarily checkmated l»y the curate of the church, who, seeing Tarni-ll's crowd advancing, mounted the stone wall of the churchyard and began to organize rival meeting assisted 1.v Thomas Ksmonde. When I'arnell arrived this meeting was in full swing. The priest upbraided him for interfering. "I have no intention of interfering," said I'arnell. "We, will wait till you have done." In a few minutes the priest stopped speaking, the crowd moving away. I'arnell mounted a wagon and began a speech. The priest renionsl rated against it. "If your mcetyig is over," answered I'arnell. shortly, "we will hold ours." Thereupon he con-(i-mi-d to talk .and finally suecceded in ring the rival crowd, which lis-

I attentively to him for fifteen minutes and cheered heartily when lie drove away. His speeeh was of 110 special importance. The only noteworthy incident was a party of women and girls in leaving shaking Farnell's hand nnd giving him a large bouquet. "If you women could only look into niv heart and read the truth there." said Mr. I'arnell to them, "you would have no reason to bo ashamed of your confidence in me. Some day you shall know the truth."

I'arnell. encouraged by this triumph, marched along the highways, drums playing and banners flying. He spoke to the people who elieercd him, and paid no attention to those who greeted him with groans. I11 this manner lie entered Johnswell. where the principal meeting of the day was held.

While Mr. Scully was addressing this meeting Mr. Timothy Harrington, one of the delegates to America, arrived, and was received by the crowd with much enthusiasm. Being called upon for a speech. Mr. Harrington addressed the meeting. I11 the course of his remarks he. said that his colleagues in America had been led astray by messages from this side of the ocean. Though the leaders of tho Irish organization in America and tho men who hitherto had been conspicuous in raising money for the Irish cause were against, Tai-nell in his fight, he was authorized to say the masses of the Irish-Americans were with Farnell. No matter, lie said, what American opinion may have been at first about the policy of Farnell's temporary retirement, any man who to-day advocated Farnell's expulsion from the Irish part}- dared not show his face on an American platform.

Mr. Farnell returned to Kilkenny in the evening and addressed a large gathering outside his hotel at 9 a. m. Mr. I'arnell goes I 1 Avondalc after the election in Kilkenny and will proceed thence to I'aris to confer with William O'Brien.

SHE WILL HANG.

No Hope for Mrs. I'c,i rcy, tlm I,oil (Ion 1 ur.ler.-MI. LOMION, Dec. 22.—The Home Secretary has declined to commute the sentenccof Mrs. I'carey. and she must hang Tuesday. An effort was .nadc to postpone the execution to allow an investigation of the prisoner's sanity. Evidence has been furnished that on four occasions the woman attempted suicide, and that she is subject to fits of epilepsy. Dr. 1'orlK's Winslow, who has studied the case. is convinced that if Mrs. I'earcy did commit the murder she was not responsible at the time for her action. The woman's name is in everybody's mouth, and tin- case has created quite as much sensation as that of Mrs. Maybrick. Mrs. I'earcy was convicted of the murder of .Mrs. Hogg and the lattcr's child.

THE INDIAN TROUBLES. General Allies Said to Ile In a I'oMtioii to Hring Tliem to a Sp.-eily Kml.

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.—"Well, tho end of our big Indian scare is very near now, I think," said Colonel Corbin at army headquarters Sunday eveniug. "WI1011 Two-Strike came in with 000 tepees it left only about 700 hostiles all told, and General Miles now has these surrounded and will bring matters to un Issue to-day or Tuesday. 1 think the Indians will probably surrender peacefully sit least I hope so, for if they don't their destruction is simply a matter of time. Cooped up in tho Bad Lands, communication cut off, supplies growing scanty, fodder almost gone, against a vastly superior force, what can .they do? From the first, General Miles Intended to l-uu no risk in this campaign. Previous experience was dearly bought. This time it was decided to sacrifice, no olllcer or man by 'awaiting developments.' Without firing a shot (icueral Miles has reduced the liostilcs to 700»-a thing which at one time seemed impossible. If these fellows pursue a wise course they will come in and submit to being disarmed. If they don't do that 1 feel sure it's all up with them. There will be no further trilling. If. the troops have to fight tlicy will make short work of the redskins."

CHICAGO, Dee. 22.—General Brooke telegraphed from Fine Ridge agency to Assistant Adjutant-General Corbin that he had purposely announced to the Indians in council the death' of Sitting Bull, giviug them the facts in detail, withholding nothing. This the (icueral did that lie might note the effect of the startling informatior. for it must be remembered not one of those who haw accepted the protection of the agency and tho troops had heretofore been aware of the tragic fato bf the great medicine man. And, singular to say, they were not wratliy or sorrowful, excited or perturbed. In fact, the General relates that they all recognized tlie justice of Sitting Bull's death, and said it WQ9 a good thing had thus mfit tJfl fatp.
