Testimony of the Lecturer's Former Traveling: Maid People Who Were Jcalons of Her. SCRANTON, Pa., March 30,--Theie was a continuation of testimony in the Anna Dickinson case to-day. Two experts on insanity, Dr. Meredith, of the Danville Asylum, and Dr. Wehlan, of this city, testified that from the testimony and from what they had seen p Miss Dickinson they believed her to be insane, ihey described her particular form of disease as paranoia. A person suffering from this form of insanity. Dr. .axeredith said, is the most dangeous kind of a lunatic and is likely to commit homlcdf. Witness heard Miss Dickinson lecture irt the Broadway Theater, New York, in April, 1831, and from her remarkable discourse then he still thought that she had paranoia, f ' ; Dr. Wehlan, of this city, corroborated Dr. Meredith with respect to paranoia. Hypothetical questions were put to him -covering what Miss Dickinson had said and done and he answered that a person -who acted and spoke in that manner was mentally affected and would be a paranoiac. The defense rested and Mrs. Jessie Winterstein was called to the stand in rebuttal. She was an attendant at the Danville Asylum when the plaintiff was there, and swore that she never saw Anna act in any manner that would fndtcate that she was insane. Mrs. McDonald, of Wilkesbarre, who, twenty-one. years ago, was Anna's traveling maid, 'asserted that she never saw Anna act strangely, but admitted that she saw her about once a month for a short time only. Then she Was questioned about Anna's liking whisky., and asked if she had ever seen Anna drink it. She answered that it was not her business to watch -what Anna drank.f She was again asked and answered that if she saw some liquid in a glass she could not swear whether it was, whisky o.-j vrot. "Did you ever" hear Arina idy" great people were jealous of herl". "They were jealous of uer." "How do you know?" "Why, from remarks thr. were pa'ised." "Who were these peonle?" "Whitelaw Reid was one." "He was a man; what woman was?" "Oh, the women, I know nothing about them. Some of the women stock are not of much account." . The telegrams Anna sent to Jay Gould Robert E. Pattlson and otkers were offered in evidence. Anna was then called to the stand to give rebuts testimony and court adjourned, it being agreed to continue her examination Monday morning. SCH00NEII SEIZED, i Charged vrltU Cnrryinjar Contraband Arms and Ammunition. - SAN FRANCISCO, March SO. The telegram from Los Angeles announcing the seizure of Captain Burns's schooner Vine at Guaymas, Mexico, for the alleged carrying of contraband arms and : ammunition, has caused no end of comment on the water ' front here. The Vine sailed from here in January last in command of Captain Paul. It had been announced and advertised for weeks that she would carry a large party of excursionists to Mexican ports, Honolulu and Tahiti, but strangely enough she sailed with only one passenger, and that passenger was G. M. Siercy, the man who has returned to Los Angeles and who reports the seizure of the schooner. 5 In preparation for this alleged excursion the Vine took on board a large number of heavy boxes and bundles and several big trunks. There were a large number of cases marked "provisions" and "canned goods." Captain Burns declared that he . had laid in $4,000 worth of stores for his excursionists. It was asserted here to-day that the Vine was laden with' arms and ammunition intended to be smuggled into Hawaii for the use of royalists who plotted revolution, and that by advertising the schooner as a -pleasure craft she would be able to land her contraband cargo without attracting attention. Mr. Wilder, Hawaiian consul here, asserted to-day that he knew of a big consignment of arms having been brought here to be smuggled into Hawaii, and that the consignment included two Hotehkiss rapid-firing guns. There is a strong suspicion that if the Vine carried a contraband cargo it was destined for Hawaii and not for any Mexican port. BOTH TRUST AND MONOPOLY. United States School Furniture ComItany Under the Dan. CHICAGO, March 30. Judge Baker rendered a decision to-day declaring the United States School Furniture Company, of Chicago, to be a trust and a monopoly. The decision was rendered in the suit of Attorney-general Maloney against the company. The Attorney-general filed his information against the company about a year ago. He set forth that it consisted of sixteen different corporations and firms; that it regulated prices and practically controlled the school furniture output of the country. The Information declared that the United States company had made contracts with its dependent firms whereby they were to sell fheir output to the Chicago corporation and were to manufacture onlv such goods as the latter should direct. This the Attorney-general affirmed was an evasion of the anti-trust law. The company filed a demurrer, claiming that it was merely acting as a distributor for other firms and denying that it made any attempt to regulate prices. Upon this demurrer Judge Baker's adverse decision was rendered to-day. The "Fljinsr Dutchman" Xot & Success BOSTON. March 30. The Columbia Theater was closed this afternoon and evening owing to the sudden disbanJment of the Flying- Dutchman" company, which has been playing there this week.

MOTOR CAR RAN AWAY

A7TD THB PASSENGERS LOST THEIR , HEADS AND JUMPED OFF. Frightful Accident on a Pennsylvania Slonntaln Caused by a. Defective Brake Chain and a Panic. TWO WOMEN AND BOY KILLED TWO PEOPLE FATALLY HURT AND TEN LESS SERIOUSLY INJURED. Kentucky Educator Burnetl to Death. In a Forest Fire Ncvr Jersey Woods Ablaze. JEANSVILLE, Pa., March . 30. Three persors were instantly killed, two probably fatally injured and ten others slightly hurt on the Lehigh Traction Company's road by jumping from a runaway trolley car on the mountain near this place. Tho dead are: MRS. WATKIN WILLIAMS, of Hazelton. MRS. JOHN R. EARLY, of Beaver Meadow. JAMES EARLY, aged eight years, son of above. The fatally injured are: MRS. JAMES EVANS, of Coloraln, side torn open and otherwise Injured. MRS. JOHN WEIR, wife of Superintendent Weir, of Beaver Meadow, back hurt. She was an' invalid and the chances for recovery are very slight. - These persons were seriously hurt: Watkin L. Williams, husband of the woman who was killed, legs and side bruised; Maggie Herrity, of Beaver Meadow, leg broken and body cut and bruised; three children of Mrs. Evans, James, aged ten years, having his skull fractured; Hannah Somers, of Beaver Meadows, body and head cut; Morris Hughes, of Wilkesbarre, . badly bruised about the body. All of the other people who suffered injuries were able to walk to their homes. The ace'dent was the worst in the history of the trclley reads in this region and was due in part to a panic arrcng the passengers who crowded about the conductor and gripmen of the unmanageable car. The disaster occured on car No. 20. As the car passed out on the grade leading down the mountain, gripman Seltz applied the brake, but the chain snapped. He then threw tho safety lever. To his terror, this refused to work and the motorman sprang to the reverse brake, hoping to control the car by the current. . The action of the motorman and the speed of the car. had by this time alarmed the passengers. Failing to control , the car. Seitz shouted to con doctor Socks to apply the rear, brake. Tts. motorman's shouts caused a panic in the car and the passengers made a rush fot the platform. The car was going down the mountain at a mil a minute. Con-, ductor Socks appealed to the passengers to go back into the car so that he might apply the rear brake,; but his appeals were not heeded. David Backman, of Hazelton, and two other men,' endeavored to keep the women from throwing themselves from the car on to tho rocks, but try as they would they could rot preyent-the frightened women from crowding around the con ductor iivtU the car was entirely beyond control. Mrs. Williams was the " first to jump. Her body struck against a post, breaking her back and causing Instant death. Mrs.; Early next flung herself onto the rocks and was dashed to death.. She tried to save her boy, but he shared the same fate a3 his mother. The remaining passengers, with tne exception, then jumped. Mrs. Evan.- was the only person to remain on the car, with the exception of the motoiman and conductor. The car k?pt the track until the crossing near the foot of the ; Incline was reached. Here it jumped the track and crashed- into a tel3g.-aph pole. The front of the car was stove In and a piece or board penetrated Mrs. Evans's side. Th screams of the frantic passengers as thj car rushed down the mountain, could be heard for half a mile. The residents ot this place hastened to the scene of the accident and did all they could to relieve the suffering. A short time after the accident a corps of physicians arrived from Hazelton on. a special car and rendered assistance to the injured. Had the passengers remained in the car the accident could have been averted, as the rear brake would have held the car and prevented the run away. There are six attachments on each car, provided for such an emergency, but the conductor was wedged so tightly against the dasher by the panicStricken women that he was unable to move his arms until the car had gotten, beyond control. The , motorman and conductor were but slightly injured. FREIGHT TRAIN DESTROYED. Eighteen Cars Burned After Falling Tb rough a Trestle. PORTSMOUTH, O., March 30. Carelessness in burning brush at the Five-mile trestle caused a destructive fire to the Norfolk & Western road to-day. The fire, which had been kindled quite a way from the trestle,' worked its way to the mammoth structure, and slowly ate away the foundation. William Halbcrt, a laborer, saw the fire and signaled an approaching freight train. The train was going at a rapid rate with twenty cars, all of which were thrown down the embankment, except two and the .engine. The first car, loaded with matches, ignited, and all the other cars were burned. No estimate of the loss can be arrived at, but the local freight agent said it would reach $30,COO.- The steamers of the city have been placed in charge of the fire, and with the aid of the. large forpe are clearing the ruins. All trains were delayed. Sew Jersey Forests Abluxe. EGG HARBOR CITY, N. J., March 30. A fierce forest fire, wnich is supposed to have originated from the careless burning of rubbish, has been raging throughout this section for several days. The fire Is burning fiercely and has been destroying valuable timber at the rate of fifteen acres per hour. It is at present making rapid progress towards the city park, which has an area of about two square miles and is covered with oaks and lofty pines. It is feared this tract of timber will be destroyed. . This morning the southerly winds fanned the fire from the vicinity of Pleasant Mills towards this city, and hundreds of persona were out fighting the flames, but on account of dry weather could accomplish but little. At noon the flames crossed Main street and are close to the park. Several buildings on the outskirts of this place are in great danger. The residents are praying for rain, as this seems to be the only thing that can successfully combat with the fire. The loss thus far Is up in the thousands. Fale of Professor llruncr. ' HAWESVILLE, Ky., March 30. Prof. C. M. Bruner was burned to death In the forest fires near Victoria. He was passing through the woods on horseback, where he was surrounded by flames.

Excluded from a. Grmnaslum Where Girls Wear Turkish Trousers. BALTIMORE, March 30. The hoard ot control of the Woman's College has granted the petition of the girls that men be excluded from their gymnasium exhibitions. Girls who were opposed to the prohibition made evident their grief by prominently displaying crape. A China pug in the office of President Ooucber was also covered with mourning. The gymnasium suit has for its principal feature a wide pair of Turkish trousers reaching below the knee. Ever since the first exhibition was given it seemed that the proportion of men attracted grew larger and larger each time and the average age grew less and less. VICTIM OF ANTI-TOXIN HORRIBLE DEATH OF MISS BERTHA VALENTINE, OF BROOKLi Died In Great Agony a. Fcrr Minutes After an Aliened Diphtheria Cure Was Injected Into Her Arm. NEW YORK, March 30. A fluid supposed to have been anti-toxin was injected Into the left arm of Bertha M. Valentine, seventeen years old, of Brooklyn, to cure a slight attack, of diphtheria. The girl died in awful agony In less than ten minutes. Dr. J. L. Kortright, who injected the fluid, said: "When the anti-toxin was prepared in Germany some powerful poison must have become mixed with It by mistake. I sent the girl's father for the preparation, and when he handed me the wooden box containing the vial it was so tightly sealed I could scarcely open it. When I opened the box and reached the vial, which contained between two and a half and three drachms, it was tightly corked and sealed. The fluid wa pinkish, of the same color as the other anti-toxin I have used. Almost as soon as I had injected the fluid into Miss Valentine's arm she became uneasy. Then she complained Of a ticklish sensation in her throat and all over her body. She was then seized with convulsions, and never before In my life have I seen such a horrible death." An autopsy was performed by Dr. J. McLayland, of Coroner Cremer's office, who reported: "The girl's death was caused by the fluid alleged to be antitoxin." Samuel Valentine, father of the dead girl, said: "I do not blame Dr. Kortright, but I blame the manufacturers of that stuff. There was a horrible mistake made in" its manufacture, I cannot tell what I will do about it." Coroner Cremer said: "This is a matter of too much moment for me to say what action I will take. The autopsy physician says the death was directly due to the fluid represented as antitoxin." SUICIDE CLUB OF TWO. Mary Handel Fulfills Her Compact with Barbara Svec. NEW YORK, March 30. Mary Handel, twenty-one years old, a Bohemian cigar maker, committed suicide at her home last night by taking Paris green. It is thought the girl killed herself to fulfill her compact which she had made with Barbara Svec, who lived next door to her. Barbara Svec committed suicide on Jan. 22, last. Ever since the Svec girl's death Mary Handel ha3 been more or less despondent. She was engaged to be married to Joseph Svec, a brother of the dead girl, and the date for the wedding had been set for the coming Easter. Last week her lover sent her money to buy her trousseau. She refused to take It and said: "What Is the use of getting married . yet? We will postpone it for a while. Mary Handel went last night to tho cigarette factory where she worked and received the money which was due her and also tho money due to other of her frierfds. She went to the house of one of these friends and gave her the money. Mary Handel at that time seemed to be in good spirits, but soon after that she became sick and her mother inquired what was the matter. She evaded the question, but soon after became so ill that her mother called in Dr. J. F. Vamellick. He found that the girl had taken Paris green. He also asked the girl why she had taken the poison and she told him that she was tired of life. Further than this she would not talk. An ambulance was called from the Presbyterian Hospital. She was taken there and died at 10:4." o'clock. Frank Handel, brother of the dead girl, knew of the intimacy which had existed between the two suicides and said last night that he believed his sister had killed herself because of a compact she had made with the Svec girl. BALTIMORE WILL APPEAL. The City Objects to Paying for the Cure of Inebriates. BALTIMORE, Md., March 30. Baltimore does not accept as final the decision of the Court of Appeals of Maryland, sustaining the;validity of the act of the last Legislature requiring city and county authorises to send indigent Inebriates to the Keeley Institute at the public expense. The city counsellor says: "The practical effects of the decision will be to have every man who is a habitual drunkard or liable to berome one maintained to a certain extent at the public expense, no matter how well off his relatives may be. There Is no limit of expense that can be entailed on the county and city governments if thl decision stands." Therefore the case will be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. Bishop Whitney on Womnii SnfTrawe. SALT T.AKE. U. T., March 30. Woman suffrage was again the leading question before tho uwtltutional convention to-day-Bishop Whitney, of Salt Lake City, was recognized fnd made a strong speech infavor of .' live measure. His remarks w'er well receive 1 and clearly Indicated what the final action of the convention would be.

Women were made for something besides being mothers, wives and housekeepers. He believed they woull be levers in the hands of God for "-a'sing up the downtrodden world to the plane of perfection its ultimate redemption.

BRAVE SHERIFF SHOT

KILLED BY ROBBERS WHO WE KB HOLDING UP A CALIFORNIA TRAIN. One of the Bandits "Done For" by the Officer, and the Fireman Probably Fatally Woanded. BICYCLES PUT TO NEW USE BOTH ROBBERS WERE PREPARED TO ESCAPE ON WHEELS. Express Safe Untouched, but Mouey; and Valuables Collected from a f Few Frightened Passengers. SACRAMENTO, Cat, March 30.-The north bound Oregon express was held up by two men four miles north of Wheatland about 2 o'clock this morning. Engineer Bowsher was compelled to stop the train, and his fireman forced to go back and open the express car. Failing to secure anything in the express car, the bandits started to rob the passengers in tho coach and smoker. Sheriff Bogard, of Tehama county, , was on the train and opened fire on the robbers in the smoker, killing one of them and was killed himself by another, robber. A. Northercrof t, the Ire man, was shot In the neck and leg amd may die. A passenger named Sampson, of Redding. ! was struck on the head and cut. Several passengers were robbed. The dead bodies were turned over to the coroner at Marysville. , It was evidently the intention of the robbers to escape on bicycles. The body ' of Sheriff Bogard and that of the dead robber were taken to Marysvllle, where It was discovered that the robber was attired In a full "and complete bicycle suit, over which was drawn a pair of iv rails. . In the overalls he had Improvised pockets made of toweling in which were two big pistols. The dead robber is known in' the vicinity of Marysvllle where he had eaten several meals in a restaurant during the past two weeks. He is over six feet tall and weighs over two hundred pound3. The first intimation that the engineer and fireman had of the presence of the robbers on the train was when one climbed over from the blind baggage car and commanded the engineer, 'at the muzzle of a pistol, to stop the train. The command was bo earnest that the brakes were applied. Then the robber caused the engineer and , fireman to jump from the train and with) another robber, who appeared to come from , a hiding place In tho roadway, they compelled the fireman to request that the express car be opened. This was done,, but the robbers could find nothing, of value as , the safe combination was not in the hands of the messenger. The robbers carried a bag made from the leg of an old pair cf overalls tied at one end. As they went t through the first car, the smoker, they made the passengers, who were few in number, put their money and valuables into it, the fireman being the custodian and shield behind which the robbers stood. ; The colored porter in the tourist 1 sleeper just beyond the day coach became aware that a robbery was fn progress end knowing that Sheriff Bogard was in a berth, called him. Tat heroic man was in his shoes and trousers In a moment and, armed -with' his heavy revolver, started for the door to the north. He crossed the platform between the sleeper and the day coach and as he entered the latter at the south door the robbers came in at the north. The sheriff stepped to ' one side, aimed and fired. His bullet dropped the man nearest him, but the second failed to reach its target. One of the robbers must have seen Bogard enter, for he Jumped down, and running along side of the car entered "and shot him from the rear. The fatal wound is in the sheriff's back just below the kidneys. When the robber was Lshot he exclaimed: "I. am done for." The ' other asked: "Are you killed, Bill?" and thereupon they hastily left the car, telling the now thoroughly frightened trainmen and passengers not to attempt to fol'low. The passengers were all thoroughly frightened by this time. There were a number who wanted to go on and others who preferred to go back. Conductor Shortridge secured a man to help Engineer '. Bowser and, after about half an hour's delay the train went on to Marysvllle, arriving there about 2:30. The dead robber has been identified by the night clerk at the United States Hotel at Marysvllle and by John J.. Daley, who occupies the same position at the Golden Eagle Hotel. The , . two strangers arrived at the United States Hotel soon after the departure of ths Oregon express Monday morning. They both had bicycles and stated that they had arrived on the train.
