Another Triple Murder.

Minneapolis was he scene of another terri
blr murder About nine O'Clock in the even
ing n man and woman were walking down
Third street. when II man walked rapidly up
and confronted them. A report rang out
and the escort dropped the woman's arm
and fell to the sidewalk with bullet in his
brain. "Oh. God don't shoot The woman
screamed this out, and turning, ran back
few steps and turned into Il small alleyway.
pursued by the assassin or the avenger.
She had gone but two rods
when he overlook her. and from
Il distance of only two feet. turned the
revolver upon her and fired The ball crashed
through her head and she fell dead. The re-
vover clicked again as the hammer was
raised. and the double murderer rushed still
further back into the alley, entered the rear
building and turned the weapon upon himself.
Three reports followed in rapid succession,
and. dropping the revolver the ASSASSIN and
would be-suicide fell to the ground. The five
reports had rung out loud and clear on the
night air. and in few moments the sidewalk
and street were thronged by dense crowd,
which quickly assembled. Not an officer was
in sight and the people stood aghast. without
daring to touch one of the three bodies. For
twenty minutes they laid there, until word
had been sent to the central station and the
patrol wagon summoned. The woman was
stone dead and was not touched. The man
on the sidewalk gave signs of life,
and was removed to his boarding place.
The story as it was gradually developed is
as follows Ed Robinson is teamster.
About year ago he married young girl
from Howard Lake, but they separated seven
months ago. Nick Weiss had made her ac-
quaintance and was walking down Third
street with her when the shooting occurred.
From the scraps of talk that dropped from
Robinson after the shooting it seems he
had warned his wife against going with
Weiss. and had got the revolver with
the express purpose of shooting them.
There is about an even chance that Robin
son may recover He never lost conscious
ness and talked quite "a little. He said he
had evidence that Weiss was his wife's para
mGar, ard he had several times warned them
not to meet.
DO you regret the deed?" was asked him,
and he replied that he did not. 81 did it de-
liberately after fair warning. hope will

Fearful Loss of Life.

Telegraphic communication, interrupted
for sveral days by the floods, has been re-
stoerd and the particulars of the terrible
diseater on the line of the Mexican Central
railway. particularly at Leon and Sao, are
obtained. The table lands between the CITY
of Mexico and Seataeticas have been visited
byunprecedented rains, causing the Saos
river to flow ont of it's banks, breaking at
the north end of the town and pass
ing through the streets with irresistible
force and volume. Most honses being
of adobe, as soon as they were saturated with
water they began to fail. About 325 houses
have been destroyed The standing buildings
are occupied by homeless people who are un=
able to obtain anything to eat except water
MELONS and fruit found floating in the water
1t was learned that the floods had been more
destructive in Leon than in Silao. 1t seems
on Monday, the 18th, the river broke over it's
dykes, and not withstanding all efforts to
check its course it made rapid headway and
finally flooded the city. People believing
themselves secure from the food went to bed
in those parts of town where the water had
not found it's way, The steady downfall of
rain with the extensive water bed of the OUT
lying country increased the flow of the river
until over half of Leon was under
water. Houses tumbled rapidly and the loss
OF life commenced unparalleled in the history of
the great inundations of modern times As
the building fell the unfortunate sleepers
were either crushed to death or drowned.
One whole night of terror followed. Men,
women and children fed to the streets in
their night clothes, some to find shelter on
higher ground, and others to be swept away
by the food. Next morning rain was still
falling and there had been no perceptible de-
crease in the stream of water. mammoth

the houses had stood the night previous,

lower grounds, It is estimated that
TOO people perished. There is strong
