RASH ROBINET
He Throws His Children Out of a
Second-Story Window.

TECUMsEH, Ont, Aug. 20.-About II
O'Clock last night fire broke out in Rec
tor RobiDet's house. this village. Rob
met was awakened by the smoke about
the time an alarm was given from the
outside, and grop1ng to the kitchen he
opened the door. A sheet of smoke and
fame blew into his face, driving him
backward and singeing and burning
hisfaee and head. He then went to the
rescue of his family. By this time a
crowd had gathered and were Mortified
to see Robinet open one of the windows
in the second story and throw his three
children. one by one, out. Fortunately
there were persons there TO catch the
children and they escaped injury. Some
of the crowd rushed into the building
and dragged out Mrs. Robinet. who was
UNCONSCIOUS. Mrs. Robinet7s father-in-
law was also fatally hurt. The
flames next seized upon wine
house and carriage shop adjoining.
The cry went up that there was a kegof
powder in the former. Almost as soon
as this was announced the wine house
blew up, scattering the bricks and
debris in all directions. The people
saw the uselessness of trying to save the
three buildings and devoted their atten-
ton to others in the vicinity, which
they saved after two hours hard work.
The property loss will be about s.. .0ae.
Robinet says he does not know what
started the fire. and that he was crazv
when he threw the little children from
the window.

ANARCHY Is UPPERMOsT.
Red Flag and Bloodthirsty Huns
Run the Coke Region.

PITTsBURG, Pa. Aug. 20.-The Times
tomorrow will publish the result of an
investigation by staff correspondent
Of the deplorable situation Of affairs in
the ConneIlsville coke region The re-
ports that have been sent in from the
coke country Of the ravages of the
Hungarians are bad enough to rouse
the most phlegmatic citizen, but the
actual condition Of affairs is almost
beyond description. Anarchy is upper
most in the minds Of the Huns, who
have been melted TO acts of lawlessness
and deeds of violence by the ring-lead-
ers, Jacob Otto and Rrist Body, two
confirmed red flag and blood anarchists.
who were discharged from the mines
because of anarchisJic tendencies. They
have gone through the region Joining
with kindred spirits, planting seeds of
revolution and murder among the ig-
noranI Huns. They are fully aware
that they have won the late
strike, but what they want is pillage
and plunder and general drunken ju-
bilee. For over two weeks the country
siue has been in state Of terror. and the
hamlet of Mutual is the only place that
has not been visited with devastation.
Valuable property has been wantonlv
destroyed. Women have been threat
ened. and men have been dubbed into
insensibility, some killed outright and
others disabled for life. The inhabit-
ants of Mutual have been frequently
threatened, and on several occasions
have fed TO the hillsides for
shelter. The reason for their present
comparative safety lies in the fact,
which has become known to the mar
auders, that every man in the village
has supplied himself with Winchester
rifles and revolvers. and the streets are
patrolled nightly. The citizens are de-
termined to protect themselves and
their families, saying that they would
sooner part with their -four barrels than
their guns, and cannot be blamed for
taking the law into their own hands.
Petitions are in circulation asking
the governor to provide help and
relief. Everybody is alive TO the
situation, and unite in demanding the
removal of this lawless element from
the coke region. A Greensburg dis
patch saws: The hearing of the Hun
garian cases was concluded fo-dav at
noon. Of the twenty-eight held over
from yesterday, eight were discharged
and fifteen held for court. one of which
entered bail in the sum Of $500 and was
released. The other fourteen, it is

ROAMING IN THE WOODS.
A Contractor, Crazed by Business
Troubles, F1ees From Home.

TOLEDO, o., Aug. 2G.-Three weeks
ago Adam Remmert. well-known
building contractor, disappeared in a
mysterious manner. Some months since
Remmert was awarded the contract for
building two new school buildings in
this city, but he took the Job cheapIy,
and, finding that he would lose money.
he left the city. A most diligent search
was made for him by his family and
friends, but without avail, and he was
given up as either dead or having fed
to avoid the disgrace of a business fail
ure. The mystery was solved yester-
day morning. As a hunter was passing
through the woods near Grassy Point.
three miles below the city, he discev-
cred man half nude, with what clothes
he had on in tatters. He called to hia
and discovered, TO his great surprise.
that it was Remmert. whom he we'll
knew. The unfortunate man. hearing
his name called, turned and ran like a
deer through the woods. uttering insane
impreeations as he ran. The matter
was reported TO the chief Of police. who
detailed squad Of officers to search for
him. The hunt is now in progress Mrs.
RemmeTt is almost distracted at the tate
of her husband.

FLATHEADs IN ARMS.
Northern Red Men Threaten to
Scalp Whites.

Special 10 the Globe.
HELENA. Mont, Aug. 20.-Gov. White
at a late hour last night received dis
patch from T. o. Duncan, justice Of the
peace at Demarsville, stating that the
Flathead Indians were breaking into
houses: that one Indian had been killed
and that citizens were guarding their
houses and families with the few arms
at their command. and asking that mil
itia be sent to the scene. Gov. White
at once sent telegram Of inquiry TO
Agent Roman. but does not look for
reply until some time tonight, as Dem
arsYille is a long way from the agency.
Roman will have to investigate before
replying. A dispatch from RivalG gives
the following account Of the trouble at
DemarSville: Last night an Indian
went 10 the house of a. NJ. Roberts.
asking protection from bad Indians.
who were pursuing him. Roberts, sus-
peeting q trick, refused TO let him in.
Soon after Roberts heard two Indians
riding around the house. One Of them
broke in the door and picked up chair,
making meve TO strike Mrs. Roberts.
Her son, about fourteen years OF age,
attempted to defend his mother with
club. At the same time Roberts aimed
at Jne lDdlan Win an OIQ I6NOlNeTs
which missed fire. The Indian retreated
and fired once at Roberts, missing him.
The hotel was also visited by
an Indian. He was found IN the
kitchen and was elected. As he
passed the window he broke it in. The
remainder Of the night was passed by
the Indians in riding around town yell
ing and shooting. This morning an
Indian was found dead. Roberts says
he did not shoot him. 1t is not known
yet who committed the deed, but it is
thought the Indians themselves may
have shot the fellow and are now trying
to place the crime at the door Of the
whites. This trouble is the outcome of
that for which troops were called out
about a mouth ago. At that time there
was no serious difficulty. Only one In
dian was killed, and some young bucks
have not yet got over their resentment.
They are very much excited, and
threaten the lives and property Of set
tiers. Gov. White says he will take no
action until he hears from Agent Roman.
He SAYS be is not alarmed at the situR-
ton. though the Indians have been ugly
for some time. Serious trouble may
result.

full advantage of the prOfered

three excited men: that the horses were
driven up in front Of a saloon in Lake

covered with foam. and that the men IN
the wagon went in and had a drink. 1t
had been supposed ever since the muir

admit the substantial correctness OF
these statements. but decline TO speak

that neither Of the men in the wagon Is
in jail.
