CRIMES CALENDAR.


Judge Terry. of California. Killed.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16.-Great ex-
element has been created throughout
California by the shooting of ex-Judge
Terry at Lathrop by Deputy Marshal
Nagle. The trouble grew out of the
Sharon-Hill divorce case, in which JUS
tice Field gave an adverse decision last
year. Justice Field and Nagle entered
refreshments, and while at the table,
Terry came in and slapped Justice Field
in the face. Before he could repeat the
shot Terry dead. The trouble was not
unexpected. Nagle had been ordered by
the department at Washington to pro.
tect the Justice and was acting in the
line of duty while doing so. It is not
believed here Nagie will be prosecuted,
although he has been arrested and is
now out on bail.

doorway. He called to him to 90 away,
when he was struck by an egg. He
then drew his revolver and fired and

Tbs Whole Territory Suffering from Un-
prccedented Forest Fires.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. 19-Forest fires
which have been raging all over Mon
tana for three weeks, have destroyed
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of timber and have reached most
alarming proportions. A gentleman in
from northern Montana reports that the
ranges in Chonteau county, which have
heretofore escaped and on which cattle
men were depending to keep this winter
thousands of head of cattle, are on fire,
and all the big companies have their
men out tryipg'to suppress the flames.
Men are out in that section trying to save
the feed, but
Small Streams Dried Up
and the fire leaps over them as quickly
as it travels on the open prairie. In two
days the fire travelled over a section
sixty miles wide and a hundred miles in
length. In Deer Lodge county the town
of Georgetown is surrounded by FIRE
and a strong wind has brought the
flames within five miles of PhiIlipsburg
The mill Of the Bimetallic Mining COM
and the fire is travelling toward it with
great rapidity.
CONSERVATION at Georgetown.
Couriers who arrived at Phillipsburg
from Georgetown at midnight reported
that the utmost CONSERVATION prevailed
in town, and large force was organ
ized to 60 to the rescue. In the Yellow
stone country the pineries fire covers an
area of eight miles and is spreading rap
idly. Ranges in that country also have
been almost entirely destroyed, the fire
extending nearly from Miles City to
Glendive. A letter just received from
Forsythe says Henry Casey, J. P. Harri-
son and two cowboys recently from
Texas, who were out fighting the fire in
that vicinity, are missing and it is
feared they have persisted. The entire
territory is covered with a dense cloud
of smoke, which sun cannot penetrate
until a heavy rain comes.

An Aeremaut comes DOWh III smo So~
 and Is Torn To Pieces.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2s.-Steamer zea- landian, which arrived to-day from Austra- lia, via Samoa and Honolulu, brings news of what is doubtless the most sensational death of an aeronaut on record. Van Tsssel, well known on the Pacific coast, made a balloon ascension from the oentre of the town of Honolulu. He was carried out to sea, and after making parachute descent to the wa- ter, hoping to be rescued by e boat he was drawn under tho surface and devoured by sharks.
 Purser MoClsans gave the following ac- count of the tragedy: "The Zsalsndia was coming out of Honolulu," said he, "whsn away in the distance we could sec Van Tas- sells balloon. It was plainly seen by every one on board, and all gathered to the side of the ship to see what would become of 1t. The s:csnsion was made in hoIcr of the king's crowd. Before making the attempt Van Tassel was asked to take c life belt with him, e the wind was blowing toward the sea. He laughed and said: T have made too many trips Into the upper air to begin to carry belts with me at this late date.' The bal- loon rose steadily to a height of . hundred feet and then began to drift seaward. When ws saw 1t, 1t must have been fully two miles from shore and drifting oceanward rapidly. Everybody in the ship was on deck and watching the balloon, and an impression seemed to prevail that something was going to happen.
 "Suddsnly Van Tasssl was seen to get into his parachute and the next instant he was descending rapidly to the water. We saw him strike the water and then all was over. The balloon sailed on for @ time and then sank gradually into the water. Van Tassel must have allowed the gas to escape before making the descent in the parachute. It was agreed on board that the weight of his para chute bore him down in the water, and he would have been drowned anyhow; as we saw number of sharks around where the unfortunate man had been the chances are that he was not . second in the water before the beasts had torn him limb from limb."
 When the balloon began to drift oceanward . boat containing his brother, J. O. Van Tas- gel, followed 1t, as did also Q small steamer, but before they reached the spot every sign of the ballsnist and his parachute had van- ishsd. They picked up the balloon, which was bobbing about in the water, and return cd to Honolulu.
 Prof. P. A. VanTassel was native of New York State and was about 48 years of age. He was we'll known in this oity and State, having made . number of balloon ascensions here. He was looked upon as . daring aero. naut and was the first to introduce the now popular feat of jumping from . balloon by m aana af q pavachuta

YALE WINS.

 Thousana People Saw she +Game-
 Yale Wlll Bs In Luck IT She Dsfesss
 Princeton.
 The football game at sringasld on satur- dsy between Harvard and Yale wss close end exciting one. and was witnessed by 1o'- GOO people. Many hundreds could not gain sdmission to the park. This crowd was sig niHcant of the fact that any event in which Harvard and Yale are matched will bring out great crowd. It has been urged e one of the arguments against dual league being formed between Yale and Harvard that the latter college is below Princeton in Athlst- ios; that before such dual league Is formed Harvard should head of Princeton. The crowd on Saturday is conclusive svi- dsncs that any contest between Yale and Harvard will draw. no matter whether liar yard stands below Princeton or not.
 Yale won, 6to0.
 This score was very unsatisfactory to thoss who know anything about the Prince ton team. Yale only defeated Harvard af' ter one of the most obstinate and exciting contests ever witnessed. It would be hard to hnd two slevens more evenly matched in pluck and physique. The New Haven boy played the more scientific game, however, and thus earned their victory.
 Princeton defeated Harvard by much larger score, yet 1t was under somewhat diff ferent circumstances. When we compare the Yale eleven with Princeton's we are very likely to say that 1t will be lucky if Yale do fsats Princeton Thanksgiving day afternoon But then Yale is the luckiest of all the col leges in her athletic events, and luck nay be with her this time.
 The opposing teams reached the field almost simultaneously, just after two o'clock As soon as the athletic giants made their ap' pearance the crowd shouted industriously for Ave minutes, and then paused to catch ita breath, 90 ss to shout some more. MT. o. A. Porter, Harvard's famous half-back in years gone by, was chosen referee, and MT. Pease of Princeton was made umpire. Captain Cumnock of Harvard won the toss for posi-. tions, and elected to play with the wind at his back.
 The two slevens lined up in the center of the field in the following order:

 Nov. 23.-The flag presentation to the Fourth school district last Friday evening was a most successful and entertaining event, over nine hundred people being present at the Congregational church in Plantsvills. Some 250 school children took part, and each one carried . small flag. The presentation was made by Mr. William Ward in happy manner. Other addresses were made by Meesrs. 0. l.. Ames, Fl. D. Smith and the Hon. David Durand of Birmingham. The flag is the gift of old soldiers.
 J. F. Pratt and family have returned from stay of several months in the West.
 Samuel R. Shepard, Q florist hero for many years. has gone to Chicago to reside.
 To-day (Monday) the voters within the pre- scribed limits will have an opportunity to exercise themselves upon the proposed borough. The matter has been very thoroughly discussed during the past few months, and voters are prepared to act intel- ligentlY in the matter. It is probable that the charter will be accepted. It is necessary to the welfare of the town that it should be.
 The funeral of Michael Egan took place Friday, and was very largely attended. The bearers were Michael Kane. Thomas Prindle, John O. White, James Donovan, Peter Gro gan, John O'Keefe.
