EXCITING WHALE CHASE. ■ <r< Harpoouers Dragged About Puget Sound In an Open Ski ft'. Tacoma, Sept. 5.—A 75-foot whale has just been harpooned in Puget sound and is now dragging the harpooners in an open skiff' about this inland sea. For more than a month experienced whalers have been trying by every means known to capture the great leviathan, expecting to put him on exhibition. Tugs and steamenuhave been outfitted with cannon and mortars provided With steel harpoons t! t could be shot out from the cannon or mortars like a bullet out of a rifle. All the whalers have been baffled, and it was left for four amateurs in an ordinary skiff to harpoon the whale. As soon as their harpoons struck him the whale started, dragging the skiff after him. Steamers and tugs joined in the chase and the greatest nautical excitement known in the history of Puget sound was precipitated. The amateurs drove a 3-foot lance into the weule, drawing a large amount of blood. For 36 hours the whale has been dashing about and, although he is apparently not as strong as when harpooned, he is frisky enough to render the chase very exciting. SMALLPOX IN CUBA.

MRS. INGHAM’S FAST. Has Not Tasted Food For Two Hundred Days. HUNT FOR AN INSANE WOMAN. Suicided With a Shotgun — Three Men Killed at Bloomington, Ill.—Hornet and Mulct Burned — Thieves Fire a house—German Blgamint Sentenced to Prison For Five Years. Laporte, Ind., Sept. 3.—Two hundred days have now elapsed since Mrs. Henry Ingham has tasted food. Her long fust has been the wonder of the medical fraternity. During all that time she has not taken any kind of nourishment. The physicians offer no solution of • her case, and apparently no human agency can afford her relief or save her from starving to death. She has wasted away weighs but 75 pounds, but the spark of life still lingers, and Mrs. Ingham continues to hope that . some human or divine power will intervene to save her life. There is no change in her condition from week to week, and, while she is conscious of what transpires about her, she is too weak to talk, and beyond her faint breathing, there is no indication of life. COULD NOT AGREE. Windowglass People Fail to Come to Terms. Muncie, Ind., Sept. 3.—The windowglass people have failed to agree on a scale of wages. The second meeting this season held at Pittsburg was a stormy one, the workmen demanding an increase of 8 per cent and the manufacturers asking a reduction of 10 per cent. Each side was firm and refused to make concessions. It is said another conference was finally agreed upon, and the meeting adjourned. The outlook is gloomy for the starting of the factories before winter. Frank F. Hart, manager of the Western Manufacturers’ association, says the factories may stand idle and rot before an advance will be paid, and the workmen say they will starve before they will accept a reduction. Result, 20 .factories in Indiana closed and 8,000 men idle. j?--HUNT FOR AN INSANE WOMAN. Lizzie Pearson Run Down by Bloodhounds—Slept In tiie Fields.
