THE AMERICUS DAILY TBJES-RKCORDER: FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1891. I FOBEIGN NEWS. . A FIEND IN HUMAN FORM DELIGHTS IN MURDER. Wl»« l» Itoln* Examined (or Homlaldal Mania—Official Declaration. From the Italian aovarnmant—IJad Wflther Croat Britain. London, Not. 1#.—At the inquest DT er the remains ot Lawrence Salter, U yetre of age. an apprentice on board her majesty'a training ship Boecawen, who waa killed at Weymouth hr being pushed over the cliffs facing the sea by another apprentice named John Wise, 15 years of age, belonging to the same ship, the jury rendered a verdict of ’•Willful murder" against Wise. This name is attracting unusual attention from the fact that Wise seems to be a lend in human form who delights in murder, and is pleased at the proepept of being hanged, and because the young criminal, claiming to be of' American parentage, aaeerte that he has previ- wnsly murdered auother hoy by drown ing him. Wise, in telling of the man ner in which he had killed -Salter, laughed heartily and' YeniaVked' tliat "Larry aquirmed lorely.” Later Wise said that he bad drowned the other boy he had murdered by pushing him into the water and holding him there until he drowned. The body, he added, had floated away, and he (Wise) said that he bad felt ever since that he most kill somebody on land, so that the finding of the body would prove hie story which he told was tree. Wise, in con clusion, said that he had nothing agalASt Salter, bnt that this was the first favorable opportunity he had had of committing ’ another murder, and that he embraced itas the only way of getting hanged. Wise, who is sup- poted to be suffering from homicidal mania, is being examined by Dr. Forbes Winslow, the noted expert in insanity; NOT 8ETTLED YET. i> Official Declaration la Regard to the Now Orleans Lynching. Rome, Nov. 19.—In view of the state ments that have been circulated of the alleged settlement of the difficulties be tween the United States and Italy in regard to the New Orleans lynching, the foreign office has felt It necessary to Is sue an official and authorized declara tion. This has been made pnblic through Deputy Ferrarias, and is to the effect that since the departure of Baron Fava from Washington, there has been no communication and no exchange of views with the United States govern ment with relation tc the New Orleans affair, and that Minister Porter does not carry to America any proposals relative to a settlement. The Italian govern ment has dropped the subject, with the ho[ie that time would bring about a satisfactory solution. Great Damage Urpnrtnl. London, Nov. 19.—There appears to bfe no end to the stories of damuge re sulting from the phenomenally bad ’eatber that has been prevailing in rest Britain. The latest Story of dis aster conies from Somerset, one of the southwest comities of England. The heavy rains which accompanied the se vere gales of last week filled the rivers to a dangerous point. At night the bank of the River Parrett, at a point where it was not particularly strong, gave way nnd the water rushed through the crevasse and flowed to a consider able depth over the farms. The dam- ntM already caused by the inundation is placed at $350,000, nnd it is believed tb it unless the flowing waters are soon turned bsck into the river the loss will, ainonnt to an enormous sum. No Fines (or film. Until ten years or more ago the Texas Pan Handle, through several months ot each year, afforded pasturage for vast herds of bison, commonly kuown as the bnffalo, an animal which, in its wild state, at least, has almost entirely van ished. On a cortaln occasion two gen tlemen, prominent in Texas politics, were hunting iu the bnffalo region, and one of them, getting within range of a herd of the ruminants, brought down a large bull. Knife in band, the hunter was ap proaching his quarry, when all .at once it rose,'bellowing and ready for busi ness. Since the gun waa empty, fligbt was the sportsman's only recourse, and an instant later u wild eyed man was seen tearing away, with a furious brute closely following. Hunter number two, meauwbile, was watching tbe scene from a hilltop, too far off to be of the slightest assistance to Ilia companion. A tragic termination of tbe cbnae seemed inevitable, for the fleeing gentle man wgs ta heavyweight, and already the space between pursuer and pursued began to diminish. Suddenly the fugi tive was seen to strike off at an angle, and the breathless watcher heaved a sigh of relief when his friend's objective point was found to be a cave but a few rods away. At the very entrance to this seeming place otsafety, however, the fleeing man turned aside and dashed with such frantic speed across the plain that a marked gain was made upon his pursuer. Bnt this could not last long, and final ly, the fugitive's strength ntteriy fall ing him, be fell completely exhausted, while the buffalo, faint from loss of bipod, dropped at almost tbe same in stant and within less thnn a rod of tbe prostrate man, Hunter number two now came up, and bis first question was: “Why didn’t yon ran into the cave, colonel? That would have shielded you from the buffalo.” Buffalo!" came the panting but con temptuous response; “why, general, there's a bear iu that cave as big as two bnffalo!”—Youth’s Companion. How * Cuw»rri Feet*. It is a humiliating confession to make, but, physically speaking, I am an arrant coward! And yet, so far as formation of body goes, I ought not to fear to cope with any ordinary being or dauger. I am young, tall, have’achest measure ment of nbont thirty-nine inches, and am, I believe, thoroughly muscular. How 1 have tried to overcome tbia feeling of cowardice, bnt In vain! At tbe first sign of my being involved in danger I tarn deathly pale, my heart beuts wildly, and I am seized with such a fit of trembliug that my legs almost give way beneath me. I am also ren dered nearly speechless, for my voice qnavers to such, an extent .that I can scarcely articulate words. And my friends actually wanted me to join the army! “No." 1 said to myself, with a sickly smile. '“The pen Is mightier than the sword,' so I’ll stick to the pen.” What a noble soldier I should have made!
