as yet no certainty as to the loss of more
than four lives at Johnstown, and these vio-
Tins were on bridge viewing the food after

off the structure, as 1t was considered dam
gerous. One end of the bridge dropped into
the water, but was not carried away. The
damage in the valley of Cayadutte to mills,
roads, bridges and crops will reach $50, GOO.
Central railroad bridge at Fonda and two
tracks at the washout at Aikens were repaired

were issued for all trains to remain on their
own road. With the slight delay of using a
few miles of single track all trains will be

BRUTAL ASSAULT.
a Dozen of Burkes Friends Try to Assassinate

A Dozen of Burke's Friends Try to Assassinate
a Witness.
CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. 28.-A desper-
ate attempt was made last night to
assassinate Gus Klahre, the tinsmith
who last week identified Martin Burke as
the man for whom he soldered together a
tin box on May 26, which it is supposed
contained the clothing of DR.. Cronin.
At o 'clock last night he was walking
eastward to his home on Ohio street.
When within a block of home he was as
saulted by ten or dozen young men.
They knocked him down, beat him about
the head with some blunt
instrument and threw him over
a low fence to the ground below, a
distance of twelve feet. He struggled to
his feet calling for help and ran toward
home His brother and servant girl
heard his screams and ran out toward
him. His assailant sprang over the fence
after him and pursued him almost to his
door. He fell as he entered the room
and became unconscious before anything
could be learned from him as to the as
sault. and up to late hour was still IN
able to speak or recognize anyone. The
family say he has no enemies unless he
had made them by his statements IN the
Cronin case. No arrests have been made
in the case.
The police say that Kahn was fright
ened almost to death, believing that he
was in the hands of the Clan-Na-Gael,
but aside from that his hurts are not at
all serious.

That He Would Leave His
Card on the Mahdi,
AND RETURN WEARING HIS HEAD.
A Story that He Has Gone with
Million Francs to Ransom
General Gordon.
Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD

Associated Press DISPATCHES to the HERALD.
New YoRR, May 17.-It is stated to-
night that New York newspaperdom and
the clubs are greatly excited over re.
port from Europe that James Gordon
Bennett, proprietor of the New York
Herald, has gone to Khartoum, the CAPT
tai of the Mahdi's territory. Mr.. Ben
nett left Paris three weeks ago, went tc
Marseilles, then to Alexandria, and this
week is in Cairo. Two stories have
been cabled over in explanation of this
singular journey. One is that, at the
Partisan Club one night, discussion
arose, during which an English
army officer said it was impossi
BILE for any foreigner to enter Khartoum
and depart alive. Bennett declared thai
any one possessing sufficient brains and
money could visit the Mahdi and return
unscathed. He offered heavy wager
that he himself would do it within a
period of six months. The bet was
promptly accepted and Bennett, accom-
panied by an intimate friend, started
forthwith upon the hazardous journey.
The other story is more startling. 1t is
to the effect that on the evening in ques.
ton, at the club, Bennett received dis.
patch from a correspondent at Cairo,
stating that he had advices that General
Gordon was still alive and kept a close
prisoner, and that the Mahdi, by reason
Of his reverses during the past year was
willing to have Gordon ransomed for a
million francs. Within the next few days
Bennett made all his arrangements foi
the trip and for the payment Of the ran.
som and set out for Egypt.
But little can be learned in New York
of the confirmation of the story. One Of
the editors of the Herald says they have
received a cablegram from Bennett al
Cairo, but that nothing is known of his
prospective movements.

Death I'm the Ice Cream.

New YORK, May 1.-THE Worlds
New Haven, Conn.,, special, says: South
Glastonbury has been having May les
tival in the interest of st. Luke's
Episcopal Church. Last night there was
the largest attendance since the fair be-
gan, and the way quarts OF ice cream
particularly vanilla, disappeared, was
both pleasing and surprising to the
managers. After returning from the
hall to their homes over hun
bred persons, who had eaten the ice
cream at the festival were taken i'll,
There were calls for doctors from all parts
of the town, and the physicians were
kept busy last night and to-day caring
for the suffering people. The symptoms
in every case were those that attend pol
soning, the sufferers first being attacked
with vomiting, then by gripping pains in
the stomach and commissions. In many
instances whole families we're takeI
sick, while in others only few suffered
from the strange disorder. In this way
the cause of the trouble was traced to thu
vanilla ice cream sold at the festival
The physicians express but slight hope
for the recovery of thirty. four victims
who partook of large quantities of vanill
cream. They are ignorant of any know
, remedy for the strange disorder, an
l oil thew can do is to administe
j, drugs that will make the patient NOR
) comfortable. In other cases where tn
:, victims partook sparingly of the crear
and the effects of the poisoning were LEI
severe. the physicians are hopeful I
their recovery, An official investigate
has been ordered made, Bnd the reHpol
a sibility for the poisoning will be locate
. If possible.
