The manner in which Charles Book-man- , a Finlunder, sustained injuries that have siuee resulted in tho loss of his right eye is a mystery that will probably never bo cleared up to thy satisfaction of the police, who have only his Incoherent tale on which to work. It had been raining considerably upon the evening that he was found and brought to po-lice station. Doctor Menchaiu was called, 11 iid on his recommendation Hcckman was taken to tho county jail aud subsequently to St MaryV hospital, in which infirmary he has since been coulied. On the arrival of the sull'erer at headquarter blood was oozing iront an orilieo that looked as if it. had been inflicted with a 22 calibre bull-let- . The same thing was noticed at the county jail. At the hospital it was dis-covered that he also carried a ghastly gasti across the arteries of the wrist and the question of how that was received becomes as densely mysterious us was that surrounding the firs!, wound. lienden d temporarily insane at least Beckman's story was handled with con-siderable allowance. Di bis stupor bo said some one had stolen upon him anil tired tho shot that en-tered at the corner of the eye and piercing the pupil disappeared some-what in tho cavities of the head. The eye completely collapsed and was finally removed from the socket by Dr. Meacham. The theory that the author-ities are inclined to entertain as the most plausible is that of attempted suicide or that offered by Captain Parker who surmises that it was a stray shot from a hunter's fowling pieco that did the work. The absence of powder marks on the face would seem to dissipate the tii-o- ry of suieido aud the entire alTiir remains a mystery, lleckman, who is yet irrational", says he is from Wyom-ing and was seeking emplovnient when visited by the wounds, lie is much improved aud every hope is entertained for his recovery.

Pauis, March 27. do Villen-euv-has sftnt Figaro a report of an in-terview which he says took place in IsoO between the late Prince Napoleon aud Prince liismarck. In this inter-view, it is asserted, liismarck proposed a close alliance, offensive and defensive between Prussia and France, which would make these two powers a domi-nating influence in Europe. The com-bined powers, according to Prince Bis-marck's plan, should proceed against Hussia to drive the slavs back to the steppes from which they came. Prussia should absorb the whole of (iermany, and France should make Belgium part of her empire. Then tho great allies should undertake to weaken the power of Great Pii itian by depriving her of her colonies, and should endeavor to re-duce Italy, Spain and the Scandinavian countries to the role of satellites to themselves.

Ailde au Old Kule at tha I'eniLentlary A decision was rendered by Judge Anderson this afternoon that will be a big crumb of comfort to the many de-linquents iu the penitentiary whose sentences have been commuted. John A. Powell w ho was sentenced at Provo last full to one year's imprisonment for adultery, petitioned the president and March i'.ith of the present year his sen-tence was commuted to imprisonment for six months. The warden of the penitentiary has heretofore ruled it im-proper to allow a deduction of time in such cases for good conduct. The ser-vices of Col. H. V. A. Ferguson were secured by Powell and a writ of habeas corpus was sued out for Powell, setting up that he was entitled to live days for each calendar month for good conduct, the same as any other prisoner who was languishing in the confines of the penitentiary. The matter was ably and exhaustively argued by attor-neys and the claim was allowed. The defendant was accordingly discharged. The regular time for the expiration of sentence would have been April 4 next and now that the position of the warden has been reversed, it is expected that similar applications will appear before the court when thev are ripe.

A morning paper has again appealed to a "back number" with whie:i to as-sail the police department and by insin-uation undertakes to make it appear that on the occasion of the Forrest Dale hold-u- the head of the force was iu collusion with the arch conspirator. Admitting that Hyde had "peached" and that the officers had been guided by the strength of that information they did no more than that which is of almost hourly occurrence iu the lead-ing cities of the east. Hyde swears that he tipped the bond of tin- - highway-men by w hom hu had been approached in good faith and the chief accepted it in good faith, if he was tho victim of a deception whereby Hyde proposed to solidify himself with the authorities ho is not alone in the class. Similar ex-periences have occurred wher-ever a police force has ex-isted. It looks now, however, as if there was collusion in some other fonts whereby the conspirators were determined, by fair means or foul, to have the marshal's scalp. A chapter of "scoops" for which the representatives of a "certain organ" have sought to make Marshal Young responsible has intensified this opposition to him, and that the rcpor-toria- l mouth may be cleared the light from t hat source is waged. The howl about Hyde is part of the ammunition it is not difficult to analyze the bal-ance of tiic harmless compound. On tho Knmpaue. Officer Wire whose beat is on thor-oughfares leading from South Alain made a capture last night that promises to furnish material for another hideous example to festive (luduK-rae- which imagines that the progeny of "tall oaks" must be clothed iu more or less license and immunity. It was Billy Trehern w ho was riding his horse furi-ously down the sidewalk and terroriz-ing tho pedestrians when the attention of the officer was called to him. Tie-her- n was incorrigible, however, aud continued to mak-- i the walk ring with the clatter of horse's hoofs until two shots were tired over his head, the horse plunged, the girth broke and the rider fell with a ker plunk to the ground. Trehern was promptly pocketed and taken down to police headquarters where ho was fined for fast riding. Police Picking.
