M. TARRY, one of the engineers on
the Sahara railr Dad, now being con-
s~tructedby France, reports a curious
discovery Of great archaeological
value. Coming upon q mound OF
sand he had it dug into and found q
dome which which proved to be the
top Of q tower; md, digging deeper,
the tower proved to belong to q
mosque entirely embedded in the
sand. Continuing his researches he
has already uncovered nine houses
and q water course. The water
course is Of great value and will be
used for irrigation. This discovery
confirms the impression that the
Sa hara was once 9 populous land,
by no means q Wnsts or desert.

Wholesale Murder in Montana.

The Tribune of Great Falls, Montana, has
received by special courier from Lewiston,
Fergus county which is ninety miles east of
Great Falls, the following dispatch, giving
details of five horrible murders. "Intenseex x
element prevails in Lewiston and through
out Fergus county, caused by the finding of
five human bodies in the Judith river about
twenty-five miles northwest of lewiston. A
cowboy came into town and reported the
finding Of the body of woman in the Judith
river about three miles above what is known
as Samples crossing on the lewiston and
Delton road. Coroner Hanson Immediately
went there and held an inquest over the body.
Close examination revealed that death had
been caused by a rifle wound. The remains
were SO bloated and decomposed that recog-
milton was impossible, but the coroner was
satisfied that the person had been dead at
least two weeks. The body was temporarily
buried, and the coroner returned to Lewis
ton with such articles as no thought might
serve as q clue to the identity of the deceased
woman. On Monday the coroner, sheriff and
a number of citizens left again for Sumple's
Crossing for the purpose of examining the
body and to seek for a clue that might help
in tracing the crime to the perpetrators.
The same evening o note was received from
County Attorney T. F. Smith as follows:
Sample Ranch, June 1S-Four bodies five
in ally have been found to-day, indicating
the most atrociOus murders in the history of
Montana. Organize a party and come out
and help us.
Within half an hour after the receipt of the
above letter twenty-five men left on horse
back for the scene of the terrible crime. The
general belief is that the murdered people are
emigrants and hat one of the party killed
the other five for the purpose of robbing. 1t
is supposed by some that the emigrants
passed through the Judith gap about June
6 or 7. Up to Saturday, June 8, they had
been seen by various citizens at different
points along their route. Since that time one
man has been seen with the same vehicle and
team driving toward the Judith Landing.
He asked various persons the road to Clog
gett, IN created some suspicion as he was
nervous and excited. Now that the bodies
have been discovered it is the general belief
that this lone traveller Ia the murderer and
that he has got beyond the borders Of Mon
tana. Of the bodies found, two are of men
and two of women, and one is q child.
The whole of the Judith country is aroused,
and q great number of people have gone to
the scene of this horrible tragedy. fireplace
where the murders took place is sparsely set
tied. 1t is %propable hat the emigrants left
the railroad at Billings, and, after going
through the Judith gap, We're on their way
to Benton and the Northern reservation.
Sheriff Do wning of Great Falls believes that
he has q clue to the murderer, and has o dep
uty now OF the supposed trail. ~ -

The onemaugh catastrophe brings
up some interesting insurance prob
lens. The food was the primary
destroyer, though buildings were
burned. Are the fire insurance com.
panies liable for part of the loss? In
the case of life insurance should 9TH

proof afforded by recovery and iden-
LITIGATION of bodies be accepted?
These are some of the knotty ques.
tions raised.

The SpeakerShip.

WASHINGTON, June 24.-Not o word has
been heard about an extra session of con-
gress in October since Congressman Burrows
went West Burrows was the last of the can
dates for 8 peaker to leave town. The i'm
preston is beginning TO prevail that the ex-
ira session talk was all inspired by persons
interested in the speakership contest. Every
candidate was loudly in favor of it. Reed
wanted an early session to reform the rules.
Mckinley thought it necessary to reduce the
surplus. Burrows thought it important to
organize the house before December,
and SO on through the list. These
candidates for speaker are very influential
persons, n have plenty of friends ready to
repeat their arguments So long as they
were here, the necessity of an extra session
was ringing in the public ear at every turn.
Since they have gone away, though there are
still a great many members of congress left
in Washington. the movement seems to have
fallen fiat. The candidates for speaker may
return and bring a load of extra session
sentiment back with them; but the general
impression now prevailing that the move
ment has little vitality apart from that grow
ing out of their personal aspirations Will fal
upon them like q wet blanket,
Tn real desire for an early session has
always been confined to the lower house.
The idea has ueve or been a welcome one TO
the senators. though many of them were
ready enough last winter to agree to an
extra session in October as q compromise II
they could only be spared q summons to
assemble in the spring. A good many sena-
torial junkets, public and private. can be
barely finished by Oct. I, and most Of
these gentlemen want the fall months at
their homes. The members. of the cabin ct
view the prospects of an extra session with
horror. 1t would fill their ante-rooms with i'm
po,tant members of congress clanioring for
offices n double the demands upon their
attention just at the time when they wantto
command q little leisure to prepare their an
nual reports Whatever ind uence members
Of his cabinet nave with tho president will
be exerted against the calling together of
congress in a special session. The personal
comfort n convenience of the president is
as much concerned as that of the cabinet
An extra session would bring a horde of new
congressman here to worry and harass him.
Undoubtedly his sense of public duty would
lead him to bear this cross If an extra session
were demanded by public opinion and the
interests of public business. But he will
hardly do it to suit the convenience of three
or four candidates for the speakership.

A HISTORY of sugar was written in
1899 by DR.. Mosely. 1t states that
when sugar was first introduced
into every country was used only
incidentally, Pliny, the naturalist,
leaves no room for doubt on the
point. Even in Arabia, in the time
of Avicenna(A. D. 9SO-1O3S), from
the East, there is no record of it's
being used for dietetic or culinary
purposes for several centuries after,
ward. It was chiefly used to make
nauseating medicines pleasant to
take.

IT has been calculated that the
railroads of the world are worth near
ly $500, 600, 600, 900, or about one
tenth of the wealth of the civilized
nations, or more than a quarter OF
their invested capital. At this rate
all the ready money in the world
would buy only about one-third OF
them.

Johnstown Sc0rched.

JoHNsTowN, Pa, une 24.-Fire broke out
shortly after noon to-day in the First ward.
md consumed all but three of the buildings
in the district bounded by Market and Wal
nut streets, and by Main street and the river.
twenty-five houses were totally destroyed,
including the large brick scnool house.
Many of the buildings destroyed had been
washed from their foundations, though many
Of them contained household goods which
had been saved from the flood But a small
amo mt of these goods was saved. The fire
is supposed to have originated from
sparks flying from the burning debris
in the neighborhood. The Philadelphia fire
companies here on duty fought the flames,
which for a time got beyond their control
and were only subdued by tearing down
houses in their path. The loss has not yet
bee fixed. Yesterday q charge OF dynamite
exploded near the second arch from the east
end of the bridge. From the great body of
wreckage tossed in the air pieces of human
bodies few in all directions, and the rem.
nants afterward gathered together Indicated
were doubtless all close together near where
the dynamite was discharged. Coroner
Evans Will begin The inquest on the victims

CONDEMNED TO DIE.
Statement That CrOnin's Death Was
Instfgated by a Clan-na-Gael
Camp.

CHICAGO, June 24.-Camp 20 of the Clan
na-Gael and its methods will be thoroughly
investigated by the grand jury. and it Is more
than probable that ten or more OF Its men,
bers will be indicted for the murder OF Df.
Cronin The states attorney has already In
his possession enough evidence to hang at
least half that number. and before the grand
fury resumes consideration OF The Cron1n
case Wednesday he expects to have a
complete chain of evidence encircling the
camp, or at least the guilty me mbers
Shortly after the finding of the body the
states attorney received an anonymous let
ter which set forth at great length the de-
tails of a meeting of Camp 20 in February.
At this meeting, the letter says,
DR.. Cronin was tried us q British
spy, found guilty and sentenced to
death, and his executionels were
chosen by secret ballot. To-day a Gamma
Gael man corroborated the contents of the
letter in every detail. Who he is could not
be learned, but 60 satisfactory was the in
formation he gave the judge that he said an
hour later: @T've got evidence enough now

process under which Dr.. Cronin suffered
death.
ANXIOUS o A TRIAL.
Ex-Detective Dan Coughlin, Frank Wood
ruff and P. O'Sullivan were brought before
Judge Shepard to-day to learn whether they
wished to be tried at this term Of court
Coughlin stated that his attorney was too
busy to attend to his case now and he
would like his case continued. O'Sulli-
van and Woodruff, however, declared
they were ready for trial. Attorney
Nicely stated to the court that he did not
wish one case continued unless the others
were, and Mt his suggestion the prisoners
were taken back to Jail. States Attorney
L~Ungcnecker was asked what be thought of
Woodruff and O'sullivan's apparent willing
ness to &c to trial. He replied: "We have
evidence enough to hang both those fellows.
Lst them go to trial If they wish. "
1t is now understood that no date will be set
for the trial until after the e%xtradition of
Martin Burke. the Winnipeg suspect, as the
evidence against him is really stronger than
against any Of the other indicted men. Su-
perintendent Hubbard received a pho
tograph of Martin Burke from Win
nipeg. 1t represents o rather vi
cious and and dangerous person. The lines
of the face are strong and harsh. There was
a weeks growth of beard when the photo
graph was taken. ~That's the man." said
the chief with evident satisfaction and as If
implying that he would be able to solve the
whole mystery Of the Cronin murder through
Burke's aid.

He also writes that Kurtz and Briggs a

did With this money is not known. Further
search will be made for it here. 1t Is pro-
posed to dig up the floor of the lodging
house which WILDER kept, as he may
have buried some victims there. Regarding
the missing Irish peddier, Dolan, known
both m sDonegal" and the @Irish Jew" it has
come to light that WILDER wrote
back here that he intended to get
