Serious Accident on Alabama
Groat, Southern.
WORK OK TRAIN WRECKERS.
LaPeer, Mich., Dec. 16.—John B<>st,
aged 25, single, a man of disordered
mind, arose from his bed shortly af
ter 1 o’clock this morning and cut
Jasper Clegg’s head nearly ofT with a
razor, dangerously wounded his own
mother, wounded his sister and tin sh
ed the bloody work by shooting him
s©lf to death. Clegg, who was 60
years of age, boarded at the Pest
home. Best was committed to the
insane asylum a year ago, hut was
discharged as cured.
It is thought Best attacked Cldgg
with a razor probably before the old
man awoke. The blade of the razor
was broken by striking a bone in
Clegg’s neck. The murderer t sen
evidently returned to his own room
and to btd. The bidding in Ilia
room was covered with blood.
At a later hour he again aiose and
ent to the room of his mother. He
struck Mrs. Best a blow with the
damaged razor, but it fell short, though
her chin was nearly cut off. Sha
•prang out of bed. grappled with the
crazy man and made her way to the
door. Heie ehe broke away from
him and ran to a neighbor’s, wher
•he telephoned for the sheriff. When
his mother fled from the house Best
invaded his sister’s sleeping room. Af
ter he had slashed her across the
cheek with the razor Best desisted,
probably believing he had killed her
When Beet heard Sheriff Myers enter
lug the house he appeared with a re
volvor and began shooting wildly. He
aimed the last shot at his own l>ody
and fell dead.
The Pride of heroes.

Appearance of Warship# Caused Ter
ror at LaGuayra.
LaGuayra, Venezuela, Dec. 16.—Tha
arrival of the British cruiser Charyb-
cMs and torpedo boat destroyer Quail
caused a bad scare among the popula
tion of this place. The commander
of the foptr.-rs has visited the Ameri
can. French. Spanish and Dutch con
suls and asked them In case the Brit
ish landed marine* to Intervene to
prevent firing on the fort and to delay
any movement on tha fort, he had
received orders from the government
to evacuate the place. He added If
the consuls refused to ot>ey and the
fort was attacked he would defend hls
post aud could not aswer for the con
sequences to tho town which is with
out any defense now with the excep
tion of a few armed policemen.
At 6 o'clock, however, the Charyb-
dla and the Quail left LaGuayra and
the fears of the population subsided.
What caused the alarm was the fact
that when the British ships arrived
here they took up a commanding posi
tion, thelT guns covering the fort and
remained stationary for a fow mo
ments as if to open fire. The Charyb-
dis and the Quail steamed away In tha
direction of Quracoa. The foreign
consuls subsequently called on the pre
fect. who assured them there was no
danger at present.
A glass of water taken half an hour
before breakfast will nsnally keep the
bowels regular. Harsh cathartics should
be avoided. When a purgative is needed
take Chamberlain's Stomaoh and Liver
I " Tablets. They are mild and gentle in
their action. For sale by all draggleU,
