Pittsburg's Appeal.

PITTsBURG, June 6.-Contributions are
coming rapidly for the relief of the Johns
town sufferers. 1t is estimated at the
chamber Of commerce that $500, 900 have
been subscribed. Chairman McCreary, of
the relief committee, tonight issued a cir
cular, in which he states it will require
10000 men to clear the wreck along the ten
miles of destruction, and place the
city in safe sanitary condi-
ton. This will cost double the amount
now in the hands of the committee and
leaves nothing for the sufferers and desti-
tute, which is very great, all of which have
been carefully attended to. The destitute
are brought to this city, clothed, fed and
housed or sent free to their friends all over
the land. We ask that the generous sub
scriptions which are coming from all over
the country be continued until sufficient
funds are provided to complete the above
work

AN ATROCIOUR CRIME
Francis Norman in Horribly Mu-
tilated by Three Fiends.
ANAGEDMARCHIONEsS MURDERED
She Was Shot Through the Heart-The Rumor
About Russia Arming-Kurd Atrocities
.- in Armenia.

Especial TO THE HERALD-ExamiEer Dispatch
MONTREAL, June 6.-News reached this
city last night from the little village of st.
jacques on the north shore of the st. Law
renee, of the death of Francis Norman, a
victim of the most atrocious crime ever
committed in Canada. Norman, who was
in his seventy-fourth year, was reputed to
be man of great wealth. AS he was well
known to be a miser who feared to invest mis-
savings In ordinary securities, it was sup
posed that he had hoard of gold hidden in
the little cottage he occupied in the out
skirts of the village. During the night of
May IA three masked men entered the
house and requested him to hand over his
money, threatening him with revolvers.
The aged miser strongly denied having any
money in the house. Finding that he would
not reveal the hiding place of his gold,
the three tends stripped the helpless old
man. They then bound him with cords
to the bedstead and began to mutilate his
body. Part of his right ear was first cut
off, but he was still defiant Then his
right thumb was severed from his hand but
the brutes fearing he might die from the
loss OF blood, before giving up his secret,
gave up that form of torture. Lighting
a fire they heated poker white hot and
with this they inflicted horrible burns on
PeIi 70 VI lis oOuyi leaving nardlY
an inch of flesh free from wounds. Still
Norman held his secret. Finally the fiends,
hearing an approaching wagon, fed, fear
ing that the agonizing shrieks of their vic
tim would be heard by the occupants, with
out having obtained the coveted treasure;
but first they ''sandbagged" the old man
into insensibility. Norman was found the
next day in a horrible condition, tied to
the bed The shocking crime was kept
quiet to give the provincial DOiica Y1yho ar
rived from Quebec, chance to arrest the
perpetrators. but no clue as to who they
are has yet been obtained. The old man
suffered terrible agony till Monday, when
he died, and the story of inhuman crime
was made public.

The Relief Committee to be National.


D Jamestown, June 6.-The relief commit
tee is to be made national in its scope and
action. To that effect action was taken at
the meeting of the finance committee and
the local relief organization this afternoon.
"A plan was proposed by parties high in
y authority and has been given official sane
ton by the finance committee by the fol
lowing clauses this afternoon.
Resolved: That the survivors of the
f1oop are now and must be for some
time wholly dependent upon issues
TO them of food and clothing, as there are
no goods here excspt those brought by the
relief committee, and no place in which
commerce can be carried on. Agencies for
making such distributions should receive
constellation. 1t is the unanimous opinion
of this committee that another committee
should be appointed for this purpose com
posed in part of citizens Of this locality, and
appointed by the governors of the states or
by the chambers of commerce of the cities
from which contributions have been re-
ceiyed or in such other way
as will give this agency
national character to assure the country
that its most generous charity will be most
iudiciously and fully applied to the relief of
the victims of this unprecedented calamity.
Up to to-day the committee has received in
actual contributions S25, 1876, with
S5,711, 545 promised in addition. The
greater part of this is represented by tele-
grams from a distance, instructing the
committee TO draw on certain banks. This
is an impossibility, as there are no banking
facilities left here. The committee hopes
that the contributors will forward their
money by express. To-day J. D. Roberts
stated that Philadelphia has promised
$500, 900, which is now at the disposal of
the committee Governor Beaver has re-
ported 100000 at hand, but has not made
any move to send ii, so far as known. Pitts
burg has about three hundred thousand
dollars IN receipt.
