Confession OF Boy to Poisoning an En-

Thrasting.
rest Of Lemuel Dean, a young colered lad,
here to-day, brought to light the particu-
lars of most heinous crime. The boy
lives in Hansontown, n suburb, with his
father, stepmother and her three children
by former husband. Monday George
Dean, the father, ascertained that Lem had
stolen revolver from a doctor living near.
He made the boy return It, and
also threatened him with a hundred
lashes for the theft Tuesday the
entire family, save Lem, and two young
children OF neighbor who ate dinner
there, were taken violently i'll. That even
ing two Of the Ward children died. An
autopsy revealed poison in large quantities.
To-day Geo. Dean died in great agony, and
in convulsions. Several arrests were made,
but the parties proved their innocence
Finally Lem was arrested and he at
once confessed the horrible crime. Mon
day he purchased a box of "Rough on
Rats" Tuesday he helped prepare
the potatoes for dinner, and watch-
ing his chance threw in half the contents
of the box of poison. He showed the Off
GERS to-day where the remainder was,
manifesting little concern for his revolt
ing crime. The two other children will
hardly live through the night. The coll
ored people are highly aroused over the
horrible affair and would give quick JUS
tice il they could get hold of the young
prisoner.

CHILCATS AND SITK AS.

They are Making Things Very Lively Up
in Alaska.
SEATTLE, w. T., June 27.-The steam
schooner Leo arrived yesterday from
Alaska. Among her passengers were
twenty-five miners and prospectors, who
report fatal conflict between two tribes Of
Alaska Indians, the Chilcats and Sitkas.
The former hold a monopoly for freighting
for miners from the coast to the mines, and
refuse to allow the other Indians to engage
in business, and sometimes interfere with
white men who attempt to carry in their
own baggage. They charge exorbitant
prices and make over ST day. Two
weeks ago large party Of prospect
ors started up the Yukon with tribe Of
Sitka Indians, under Chief George, as
freighters. A combat resulted, in which
the chief of the Chilcats was killed. The
Indians demanded life for life and chased
the Sitkas into Haines, a white settlement.
The whites protected the life of Chief
George during the day, but at night he was
murdered by the steathy Chilcats. Fear
ing a massacre the whites sent to the coast
for help, which arrived just in time in the
shape of man-of-war. The prospectors
say the Chilcats are very insolent and are
being urged to more violence by the widow
of the murdered chief. They also say that
a white man has slim protection from the
vicious and murderous redskins.

BRAZEN RAsCALS.
They Try to Rob a Passenger on q
Lake Shore Train,
hut Arc Toiied in Their viIiaIny and Es-
cape--The Deed Committed With
in the Limits OF Chicago.

CHICAGO, June T.--A bold attempt to
throw passenger from train for the
purpose Of robbing, IL not killing, him,
was perpetrated last night almost within
the very walls of the main depot of the
Lake Shore and Michigan Southern rail-
road in this city. The fellows who tried to
carry out the scheme were only foiled by
the timely interference Of several passen-
gers who were eye witnesses to the affair
and went to the rescue. The $50 p. m.
express train on the Lake Shore road
had Just started, and was passing out
of the south end of the depot, when
man entered the car, and, passing along
the aisle, tapped gentleman, who was
sitting with lady, on the shoulder and
told him that there had been some mistake
in checking his baggage, and that he was
wanted in the baggage-car. The gentle
man, not suspecting any thing, followed
the man to the front end of the car. There
he was seized by the iuan and two confed-
crates, who were stationed on the plat
FORM A desperate attempt was made
to throw the gentleman to the ground,
but he made firm hold Of the
brake bar and made strong and
determined resistance. The scuffling
was noticed by some Of the passengers
in the car, who rushed to the gentleman's
assistance. Two of the fellows jumped
off the car, and the third was knocked off
by blows from passengers cane. The
trio escaped in the wilderness Of cars and
freight houses that line the main track on
either side. Mr.. John w. Couper, manager
of the Chicago Office Of the Collier White
Lead and Oil Company, was the man who
did such effective work with the cane. He
says: "The gentleman who was assaulted
had his vest almost torn from his
person by the robbers, but they failed
to secure his pocket-book, which was
in his inside vest-pocket. He
was all broken up and crying. In the few
moments before Twenty second street was
reached, where got off, he told me that he
had only been married the night before,
and was on his wedding trip, and the lady
with him was his bride. / did not have
time to learn his name, but he was man
about forty years of age. The conductor
and train hands were in another part of the
train, and knew nothing of the affair until
it was all over"

Unparalleled IN Modern Times--Thousnnd
of Miles OF Territory Transformed Into
Lakc--Citics and Towns swept Away
Incalculable Loss Of Life.
ST. LOUIS, June 26.--A dispatch from the
City of Mexico says: Photographic com.
munication, which has been Interrupted
for several days by the floods, has been re-
stored, and the particulars Of the terrible
disaster on the line of the Mexican Central
railway, particularly at Leon and Silao,
are obtained. During the past ten days
the table lands between here and Zecatecas
have been visited by unprecedented rains.
Every mountain rivulct along the
Central railway for moro than
two hundred miles has been converted
Into destructive torrent, and the valleys
presented the appearance Of lakes. Many
cities and towns have been inundated, and
Leon and Silao have been partially de-
stroyed. On tho Goth 1t was learned that
the floods had been more destructive in
Leon than in Silao 1t seems that OH Nom
day, the 18th, the river broke over its
dykes, and Notwithstanding all efforts to
check its course, it made rapid headway,
and finally flooded the city. AS the rain
fell the river rose rapidly, its volume OF
water flowing into the town, gradually
wearing away the foundations of buildings
which commenced to fall as night came
on. Monday night brought to that
city one of the most terrible scenes ever
witnessed in any country. People believ-
ing themselves secure from the flood 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

channel until half of Leon was under wa
ter. Houses tumbled in rapidly. hav ng
been worn away by the water, and tle loss
of life commenced, unparalleled in
the history of any of the
great inundations of modern times.
AS the buildings fell the unfortunate
sleepers were either crushed to death or
drowned. One whole night of terror fol-
lowed. 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 flood. On Tuesday
morning rain was still falling, and there
had been no perceptible decrease in the
stream of water. A mammoth lake ex-
tends its length and breadth to all points
of the compass. Its monotonous appear
ance was occasionally broken by half-sub-
merged houses and high lands cropping
above its anything but placid surface. A
dispatch from Ell Paso, Tex, says infor-
nation has been received here from the
flooded district in Mexico that fifteen hum
dred lives were lost by the inundation, and
that one thousand bodies have been recov-
cred. Leon is n city of one hundred thou
sane inhabitants, and q large part of it is
ruins. The Mexican Collector of Customs
at Paso del Norte received an official dis
patch stating that one hundred miles of the
Mexican Central railroad in impassable,
and that it will be ten days before mails
can get through and twenty days before
freight can be moved.

Innoceni Man Ixnchad

ALTAMoNT, ILL, June 2S.-The people
here are very indignant over the lynching
of William Moore, at Charleston, Ill. The
facts are that the girl, Mary A. Bumgard-
ner, upon whom it is alleged the assault
was made, lives some two miles from this
place, and is not so very young, being
about nineteen or twenty years old, and
the people here who know her doubt the
truth of her story. 1t is the general opin-
ion that the people of Mattoon and vicinity
were deceived, and, in acting hastily, have
put to death an innocent man.
