RoWdYism Rampant.

John W. Cole had quite ansexperience
last Saturday night with parties attempt
ing to break into his house on Clyman
street. At about halfpast twelve O. clock
be was awakened by some one attempting
to raise window at the back of the
house. Going 10 the window MFR. Cole
asked who was there, when a retreat was
made to the back door, which was tried
and afterwards side door. Then the
individual tried to force open the hall
door, followed by like demonstration at
the stOop door. By this time Mr.. Coles
forbearance ceased almost to be virtue
and as he stood in the hay window with
well loaded gun in hand, cooked and
ready to shoot, he demanded Of the per-
son whom he could see distinctly to say
what he wanted or get away, or else shoot
ing would follow. Mr. Coles earnest
manner and dangerous attitude. brought
the fellow to time, and at length he said
don't shoot, I'm college student" and
then quietly departed from the premises.
The next morning in Mr.. Coles let were
found two hats, a coat, a vest and pair
of shoes. A note in the pocket OF the coat
revealed the fact that deliberate pac at
robbery had been formed by five individ-
uals, who were { meet at certain lumber
pile. It is. ascefta.ned that only two OF
the FIVE were students, the names of at
least two of the others being familiar in
police records here during several years
rast 1t is becoming serious matter,
when our young men are corrupted and
Influenced in the manner outlined by
these proceedings, and rome method
onght to be devised Tor protection in such
cases.

The Musin Concert.

Although the people Of WATERFOWL have
haG many opportunities and the pleasure
of hearing some Of the best musical talent
of this and foreign countries. it is dou bt-
ful whether so strong, and from musical
standpoint, so thoroughly efficient an or
gan:zation as the Muslin Grand Concert
company, ut Concordia Opera house,
Thursday evening last, has ever appeared
before us. 1t would seem like presump-
ton to attempt to pass critical judgmen:
on the technical merits of the artists Cam
posing this extraordinary combination,
which deserves all the praise bestowed
upon it by the press generally, and to
which our humble efforts would add
nothing.
The audience was one of the most re-
fiaed and select that it has been our
pleasure to look, upon. Quie. reigned SUI
preme, and the audience seemed SPELL
bound from beginning to end. This un-
usual stiffness added its charm as an in
disputable evidence of the intense appre-
citation of the audience. Particularly
noticeable was this during Mons. Musin's
performances, the delicate pianissimos of
his violin being distinctly heard over the
entire hall, and as We afterward learned
ELECTED much praise from this eminent
musician, who also paid high compli-.
ment to the acoustic properties of the
Concordia Opera house.
The Musin Grand Concert company is
without question the grandest musical
combination that our people have had the
pleasure Of listening to, and too much
praise cannot be given those of our citi-
zens who were instrumental in securing
the services Of these high-class artists.
Although the lower hall was we'll filled
every reserved seat being taken-the
house would have comfortably seated 200
more, and it is to be hoped, should this
company ever visit us again, which is
more than likely, that they may be greet
ed with packed house. Let US have
more entertainments of this order.

Diamon DIS discovered.

HELENA, M. T., May PA big ex
citement has been created here during

diamonds on Ell Dorado bar, fourteen
miles northeast of here. George Foote
of this place, has two gems, found there
a month ago, which he has just received
back from New York, where he sem
them to be cut. He was surprised tc
learn that they we're diamonds. Several
parties have organized, and left here to
stake off ground. Twenty years ago
and again eight years ago, similar ex
citement prevailed, but the stones found
were only coruudums, the next hardest
substance to diamonds, and very similar
to the latter in appearance, so that only
an expert can distinguish them. While
it is supposed that diamonds existed
there, none have been found until now

bers-Passengers Injured.
ST. LOUIS, May PA st. Louis and
San Francisco passenger train was de-
rallied near Sullivan, Mo-, last night, by
train-robbers. Forty-tive passengers were
badly hurt. Not one of the passengers
escaped without some injuries.
So far, no deaths are reported. The
train was running at high rate of speed,
when suddenly, without warning, the
track gave way. The locomotive, bag
gage car and five coaches went over the
embankment. The trainmen and those
only slightly injured at once set to work
to prevent the additional horror of fire,
in which they succeeded. They then
turned their attention to the more unfor-
tunate injured and ina short time forty-fve
passengers, all badly hurt, had been
released from the debris. A temporary
hospital was improvieed at Sullivan, and
the most seriously injured were taken
there, while others were brought to St..
Louis on a special train. 1t was about
midnight when the accident occurred,
and most of the passengers were asleep.
There is curve in the road at the scene
of the accident, and the creek is crossed
on thirty foot embankment.
The trainmen that arrived here say
that spikes and fish plates had been re-
moved for the evident purpose of wreck
ing the train, and the supposition is that
it was done by train robbers, though no
attempt to rob the train was made, and
it Is presumed that something scared
them off, or they threw the wrong train.

New York, May 24.-There has been
considerable discussion in electrical cir.
cles as to what kind of machinery would
be best suited for electrical executions.
The contracts for supplying the prisons
at Auburn, Sing Sing and Clinton with
machines was let to Herold P. Brown,
electrical engineer at 45 Wall street. Mr..
Brown has decided that the alternating
current machine of the Westinghouse
Electric Company, is the most effective,
and has bought three of them. He came
to this conclusion from series of exper-
iments on animals, made at the Edison
and Columbia College School OF Min es
and Laboratories.
He explained the details of the execu-
tions to Tribune reporter, as follows
"A current of 1000 volts will be used.
It has been found that less than 200
volts would be sufficient, but larger
number will be employed, to provide for
all contingencies. If much stronger
cure It were sent through a man the
body would be burned. The criminal is
sentenced to be executed some time in a
given week, the Warden or Superintend-
ent to fix the day and hour. At the ap-
pointed time, which is fixed without the
knowledge of the condemned man, the
Warden, Sheriff, and his assistants enter
the cell and bind the mans hands before
him. A pair of shoes, in the soles OF
which are metal plates, covered with
sponges, which form one electrode. and
= cap containing the other electrode, are
then put on him. He is placed in a
large oak reclining chair, to which he is
securely fastened. The wires from the
dynamo are then connected with the
electrodes at the head and feet, the

The Northern Presbyterians.


New YORK, May 24.-In the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian Church this
morning, telegram was read from the
clerk of the Southern Assembly announc-
ing that that body had adopted the ma
jority report in favor of cooperation in
home and foreign fields. in the evangelical
ton Of colored people, and cooperation
in matters of publication, ETC., by vote
of SO to 27. The statement was received
with applause.
Debate on the third section of the
majority report, cooperation in the evan
gelization of colored people, was
tinued. The report, is the
same as that adopted by the
Southern Assembly. Rev. DR.. Stryker,
of Chicago, moved to strike out
the part of the report which reads
tsWhile conceding the existing situation,
it (the Northern Assembly, approves
the policy of separate churches, pres.
byteries and synods, subject to the choice
of the colored people themselves" Car
ried by vote of 400 to so. With this
exception the paper, as a whole, was
adopted, and the paper on cooperation
was also approved Of.
The next thing was to adopt the ma.
jority report as whole as amended,
This was done, only few "noes" being
heard.
A motion was then made to telegra ph
the Southern Assembly, which has been
done.
Rev. George T. Purvis, OF Pttsburg,
moved that when the clerk telegraph the
clause stricken out, he also add the
reason why it was done, not to prejudice
future action, nor to outline the future
policy of the church, but simply because
this Assembly did not believe it stated
the historical facts of the case. Carried,
