JJenuxcrat DECATURIND. N. BLACKBURN, - - . Publisher, THE NEWS RECORD. A SUMMARY OF A WEEK’S EVENTFUL HAPPENINGS. IntelUgenc* by Electric Wire from Every Quarter of the Civilised World—Political, Commercial, and Industrial New*. Fires, ~ Crimes, Sal<Dides, Etc., Etc. Riddled with Bullets, A J oß ® 8. De., Guatemala, dispatch says; Everything was prepared to capture the Revolutionist Gen. Martin Bar- » rundia who was on board a passing American steamer. The port Captain,, boarded the steamer and demanded the surrender of Barrundia from Capt. Pitts, who answered that he would deliver up the revolutionist and Invited them to Barrundia’s cabin. The . Assistant Chief of Police, Capt. Calderon, - and three officers were among those who went with the Captain to the cabin. W hen there Maj.

Post Huron (Mich.) special: Fire destroyed the Tunnel House, a large frame hotel at the Sarnis entrance to the St. Clair river tunnel and one of the female employees unable to make her escape from one of the rooms was burned to death. Two mon who were in the house at. the time cannot be found and it is (eared that they also met their death in the flames. The house was a big wooden one and was occupied by the diggers and tdtovelers in-the tunnel. It was surroßnded by little houses, also filled with laborers and it is a wonder that fire lidn't destroy these too. ' :zs Acids Put son the Water. JawsW. Saulsberry, who owns valuable Residence property in the western part of Anderson, Ind., has brought suit to recover $5,000 from th© American wire and rod mills that recently moved there from Covington. The cause of « the action lies in the fact that the offal or refuse from the wire mills, which consists of poisonous acids and lime, is turned into Green’s Branch, rendering it poisonous and unfit for any purpose. This stream flows through Mr. Saulsberry s suburban estate, and detracts . largely from its beauty and value. Two Young Men Drowned.

DASTARDI.V DEED! An Attempt tn Wreck a Midnight Passenger'Train in New York State Frustrated. ' . , A dastardly at teifipt.to Wreck a passen- I ger trait; was made, near Earners, about ' '.seven mi.es west of Albany, N. Y. By almost a miracle the Chicago express, heavily laden with passengers and being run flt ightning speed, was brought to a st;,i,d o still within twenty feet of a it?T< * <»f heavy lies and' railroad iron plavi-d across the track. The attempt was made in a,most systematic was. for both the switclynan and a Pinkert/e. guard \vere locked up in their houses. At about live minutes of the time thd train is due the switchmap started to leave the shanty, but found himself a prisoner. While trying to get out he heard the thunder of the approaching train and burst the door down. As he got out- the train came down at a terrific speed and then for the r , .. - ■ pt'i , . Mhk ■

flit time the Switchman saw the pile of tiea>n the'track. He had no time to get is lantern, but with the Pinkerton men vho had gathered, got on the track and elled. The engineer saw them and, rntting on bis air-brakes, reversed his Iver and brought the train to a standstill. The strikers claim that thesmets are done by outside parties. Alexander sulltvax Transfer His Real Estate to Lawyer Trade-Aiqotber Chapter in the Cronin Case. Chicag special: Considerable comment wa indulged in over the discovery that Mr. Alexander Sullivan, one of the so-called had transferred his real eskate r v Attorney A. S. Trude. Inquiry at ;he R< Order’s office elicited the fact that th deed for this transfer was recorded in is office about four weeks ago, but he publication of the fact was .- ippre* d by some agency—presumably bitty se directly concerned, Messrs. Trude aid Sullivan. It has been an open secret for several months that Trude ant Sullivan had maintained relations,’ which made the attorney the virtual possessor of all of Sullivan's property. Whether these relations grew out of the “triangler’s” alleged the Cronin murder—requiring thojecret counsel of the noted criminal lawyer—was the theme of debate among those,to whom this transfer became known. ' Sullivan’s friends stoutly maintain, of course, that the transfer was only made in the exercise of common prudence, and that Jiis property is as much his ovn now as before the execution of the suppressed deed. But the skeptical—including the friends of the murdered doctor —say. why. select A. S. Trude under such circumstances'? There is evidently another unwritten chapter of the Cronin murder.

At Bridgeport, Conn., Daniel Appleton White, of Chicago, was married to Miss Hattie Candee of that place. The wedding was peculiar for the large force of police present, there being no less than twelve officers under the command of Chief Ryland, who carefully guarded every entrance. The church was crowded, but every face was carefully scanned by the police before the guests were admitted. This all grew out of a threat to assassinate the groom. White came he/e a sho?t time since on a visit, and, mating Miss Candee, fell ia love with her. She was engaged at the time to Alexander Hetherington, a Greek, bjit his jealous disposition disgusted the girl so that when she met White she jilted her old lover forthe 5 Chicago man.
