PITTsBURG, Pa, June 11.-An afro
cious outrage is reported from Fair
Chance, about miles from Uniontown.
Samuel Humbert, an old resident of
Fair Chance, was assaulted by masked
men at his residence at midnight Satur-
day and subjected to great tortures to
make him disclose where his money
was secreted. At that hour Humbert,
who lives alone, was aroused by knock
at his door. In response to his inquiries
as to who was there the men outside
asked for drink of water. When the
old man opened the door to comply with
their request he was seized and gagged.
Two ruffians then searched the house,
but failed to find anything of value,
whereupOn they commanded their cap
tive to surrender his money and valua-
bles. He insisted that he had no money.
The two fiends then built fire in the
CRATE, and, drawing the old man up
ROASTED HIS FEET
until they were blistered and shock
ingly burned. Still the old man pro-
tested that he had no money and i'm
plored them to release him. They
threatened to set the house on fire if he
did not confess. After turning every
thing in the house upside down and rip
ping up the carpets in their search for
money, they bound the old man hand
and foot and departed. Humbert, after
desperate struggle freed himself and
gave the alarm. His neighbors quickly
gathered and organized search party
to hunt the rascals down. The fugi-
tiveS were tracked a considerable dis
lance, and have, it is said, been located.
The community is greatly excited over
the outrage and if the perpetrators are
found, the chances are that they will be
treated to dose of Western Justice.

CHICAGO SIDE-TRACKED.

In careful review and discussion of
the rate war being waged by one North
western railroad the New York Times
has come to the conclusion that the time
has come in the history of transconti-
mental traffic when Chicago is to be
side-tracked. The growing Importance
OF the Twin Cities as a railway center.
i'll connection with Duluth as their lake
port, is what is cooking Chicago's goose,
according to the Times argument. The
Times reasons in this way: sit is
only a tritie further from Duluth to
where Lake Superior empties into Lake
Huron than from Chicago to where Lake
Michigan mingles its waters with Lake
Superior's on their descent to salt water.
Put in another way, after a cargo has
travelled hundreds Of miles from Chicago
to the straits of Mackinaw, it is 10 fur
Their toward Europe and foreign mar
ketS than as though it had traversed
only trifie longer distance from Duluth
to the Sault Ste. Marie. and that is true
although Duluth lies hundreds of miles
west of Chicago and nearer the prairie
farms. 1t costs as much to take loaded
boat northward as eastward. but the
distance northward from Chicago is a
loss of timeand cost of carriage, while
the distance eastward from Duluth is so
much to the good on the total journey.
In brief, Duluth's strategical position
makes it practically as near New York
and Liverpool as Chicago
Thus completing the geography of the
situation. the Times turns its attention
to comparison of the railway routes
centering at the Twin Cities with those
centering at Chicago. The average
rail haul to Lake Michigan by the Chi
cago lines is 400 miles. The average
rail haul to Lake Superior by the ST.
Paul lines Is $50 miles, making the odds
in favor of the Twin Cities and Lake
Superior in the proportion of 400 to 49,
The Times insists that Chicago and its
great railways may as well face the
truth first as last-that Chicago is handi-
capped by nature and cannot hope for
an even contest with the Twin Cities
for the lake trade.

1T WAS A DELUGE.
The Rain Storm Swept Everything
Before 1t in Northern MICHIGAN.

X
MARQUETTE, Mich, June Ire
ferring to the great rain storm of Satur-
day and Saturday night, reports come
in from different parts of the peninsula,
all giving accounts of the damage. The
storm appears to have been heavier at
or near Lake Linden than elsewhere,
although all the country for hundred
miles each way was visited. The
storm burst like waterSpout. At
Calumet the Methodist church was
struck by lightning and large guam
tity of water poured into great Calu-
met q Hecla mine before the miners
could be protected. At Portage Entry
the quarries are stopped, being filled
with water. Reports from Lake Linden
estimate the damage at $4,000. Nearly
every basement in this city is flooded
and an immense amount Of merchandise
is damaged. No trains can enter the
town on the Hancock & Calumet rail-
road on account of washouts.
All along the line of the Duluth, South
Shore 81 Atlantic there were heavy
rains. and several washouts are re-
ported. At a point between Robinson
and Houghton passengers and baggage
were transferred by tug. While there
are many breaks in the track and nearly
every peninsula railroad is more or less
damaged, there has been no accident of
any kind, and the trains will be moving
on time again in day or two.
While there is no means of approx
mating the damage, it will reach
way up in the thousands. The people
of Norway, Mich, have special reason
to be thankful for the storm. however,
as but for its visitation the fire of Satur-
day would not have left a building
standing. AS it was forty-seven build
ings were destroyed. Aside from the
loss by fire, thousands of dollars worth
of household goods. merchandise and
the like were ruined by the storm. The
people living in the track of the
fire, seeing certain destruction
before them, hastily threw their
possessions out doors in places of safely,
where they themselves were forced to
remain during the night. 1t was sew
eral hours before all could find shelter,
and in some instances women and
children were out in the pitiless storm
a long time. There are but two stores
left in the city, and the town is pro-
VlSiOned for no time whatever. The
people of Iron Mountain have sent
sufficient food to sustain them for the
present, however, and there is no
serious suffering.

ROME. June 11.-In the chamber of
deputies to-day the government made
statement of the differences between
Italy and Zanzibar. The late sultan, it
appears, ceded territory to the Italian
Commercial company, but the cession
was subsequently partly revoked. The
present sultan, On accession to the
throne, wrote to King Humbert, who
replied to the communication. The sui
tan, upon receipt of King Humbert's re-
ply, neglected the customary forms,
which was intolerable. The consul
was compelled to haul down the flag
and demand satisfaction. The consul
recommends that the satisfaction take
the form of a cession of territory to
Italy. He adds that the presence in
Zanzibar of representatives of powers
friendly to Italy is greater reason why
she should obtain the satisfaction due
her. After Italy shall have been salts
fed, she will be able to examine other
matters in dispute between the two
countries, notably the question in regard
to the territory which was coded by the
late sultan.

Farmers alliance, avails himself of the
GLOBES courtesy this morning to
square his friend and candidate, Mr..
SCHEFFER, on the tariff question. 1t
has been Mr.. SCHEFFER'S misfortune,
as it is the misfortune of all candidates,
to be misunderstood in his remarks, and
the idea has gone abroad that he is try
ing to get away from the platform on
which he was nominated. Mr.. SCHEF-
FER wants it understood that he is not
deserter, nor is he ashamed of his
principles. He has nailed his colors to

man, an awfully good man-too
good man, we fear, ever to be nomi-
mated by a Republican convention-but
unless, as Mr.. HoDGsoN asserts, his
Republican backing is nerved up to a
fighting point, the railroads and wheat
rings are going to be an over-match for
him. The man whom the farmers want
is not usually the man whom the ma
chine bosses nominate. Still, if Mr..
