STANLEY HEARD FROM.
News From the Great African Eek.
IlOrer.

"A letter has been received at
Zanzibar from Ururi, southeast of Vic
toria Nyanza. dated the I'd OF December.
1t states that Stanley arrivid at Ururi
and staid for short time, then return
ed TO Victoria Nyanza. He left behind
fifty-six men, owing to the sickness,
and forty-six rifles. Most of the sick
eventually died. A short time after
Mitchell arrived there and took away
the rifles. 1t was shortly after report
ed to him that Stanley had sustained
heavy loss of men owing TO sickness
and a lack of provisions.
Sir Francis dc Winton, who is great
authority of African exploration,
writes: 1.-The telegram just received
via Zanzibar gives news Of Stanley up
to the I'd Of December last. He was
then at Ururi, at tho southeast end Of
Lake Victoria Nyanza, having left
Emin at Mnyara, which is situated in
the district Kavirando, at the northeast
corner Of the lake. IL should be re-
membered that Stanley left his camp
at Conalya, on the Aruwinni, the fourth
of September, 1888, and rs it would ap-
pear an impossibility for the journey
from Bonalya to Ururi to be accom-
plished in eighty-two days.. Q. from
the 4th of September TO the I'd OF De-
cumbersome mistake has been made
as regards this date. II is quite posi-
BILE for the messenger who brought the
news to have left Ururi about the mid
die of February and reached Zanzibar
Mitchell Is also somewhat puzzling.
At present the white men with Stanley
are Lieut. Stairs, Nelson, Mounteney,
DR.. Parkes, and Bonny, besides Stan
ley's servant, and the only other white
men in that part of Africa are Emin
Pas ha and Capt. Casati. Nelson might,
however, become Mitchell, in passing
into the native vernacular and then
back again into the English.
From the direction Stanley is
taking it would appear that he is
making for Malala, at the south end
of the lake, where q large store of
cooked provisions was deposited more
than year ago. He would have the
advantage of water carriage to take
his caravan from Unyara to Kaghevi,
the missionary station at the south
end of the lake. 1t is to be hoped he
has for some time been in possession
of his stores, so that the main difficult
ties Of his enterprise have been sue
cessfully overcome. Should my sur
mise that he arrived at Ururi about
the I'd of February in place Of the Cd
OF December be correct, and that he
has since passed on to Kagheyi, at the
south end Of the lake, We may soon
have further news in addition to the
letter given to the trader OF Ururi,
who forwards this message"

A swarm OF bees took possession oil
Main street in Meriden, Conn, few

city's busiest thoroughfaro for over an
hour. A few venturesome drivers sent
their horses through the buzzing mass.
but those that made the trip paid the
penalty OF the folly OF their owners.
People were compelled TO shut down
their windows, for the day was hot
and the bees were angry. The bees
banged themselves against the
windows In attempts to get inside.
Staid business men threw hand
kerchiefs over their heads and ran
skipping away like school boys. The
bees were a stray swarm just let loose,

space as large as q load OF hay, they
finally became compressed into half

A DOUBLE MURDER.
Two Girls Found with Their Threats
Cut.


The community OF Gresham. Neb. ),
is wild with excitement over horrible
double murder which was committed
June 18th. The victims are two daugh-
tors, aged respectively 8 and l6 years,
Of John Leavitt, farmer living In
Seward county, three and half miles
southeast Of Gresham. About II 80
o'clock In the evening the inhabitants
OF Gresham were aroused by awful
cries and shrieks Of murder coming
from tho lips OF the parents OF the
girls, who had driven into town at full
speed Tho old lady and gdntleman
had left the girls ut home and came to
town to make visit and remained until
8 o'clock In the evening, when they
drove home. Upon entering the house
the oldest girl was found lying In the
middle Of the floor In pool OF blood,
with her throat cut In horrible man.
ner. Nothing was seen by them OF
the younger girl, but they at once
turned their team toward town to
give the alarm. Parties at once went
to the scene. In their search about
the premises the young rglrl was founa
lying In the front yard with her throat
also cut foom ear TO ear. So farno Glow
whater has been discovered ms to tho
murderers or the purpose OF the awful

OPPOSED TO POSTPONMENT
Bitter Opposition Still Continues to
President FitzgeraId's Action.

The feeling created by the action OF
President Fitzgerald in postpouing the
national convention of the land league
will not down, The members of the
Philadelphia local committee who
were opposed this step and who init
mated as much to the Lincoln man
find that their judgment is reinforced
with that of prominent members OF the
party east and west. The statement
that the postponment Is based upon
the inability of several nationalist men,
bers OF parliament to cross the water
until later in the year is looked upon
as in the nature Of u subterfuge, and it
is boldly charged that the action was
inspired by certain Chicago individuals
who were the convention to be held
within the next six weeks, might find
it inconvenient to exercise that sway
in the inner councils that they have SO
long enjoyed. Numerous protests
against the postponement have been
made and wired from the east to
President Fitzgerald, and it is tolerably
certain that the matter will be the
subject OF pretty ex ,ited discussion
when the convention Is held.

A YOUNG LADY DROWNED.
A Student OF Iowa College Drowned
In Reservoir.

A party OF four students, two young
ladies and two young gentlemen, were
boating on the Central Railroad reser-
voir near the fair grounds at Grinnell,
on the night Of the 18th, and one Of
the ladies attempted to pass from one
part OF the boat TO tho other, and In
doing so upset the boat. Ono OF the
ladies, Miss Carrie Mole OF Maquoke-
Ia, Iowa, was drowned. Mr.. Carstins,
Miss McMeans and Mr.. Mckinley were
saved. Miss Mole was pulled up on
the capsized boat by the young men,
but the boat tipped and she fell back
into the water. She seemed to have lost
consciousness the moment she fell In Tho
water, and all efforts OF the physicians,
Lewis and Harris, Jr., ofGrinnell, and
DR.. Underwood OF Eldora, (who was
visiting near where the accident occur
ed,) failed to restore life. Young
Arthur Winterstein, employed on the
Central road, gave the alarm and was
mainly instrumental in rescuing the
students. He showed out plank on
which Mr.. Carstins and Miss McMeans
were saved. Mr.. Mckinley was saved
by persons who put out in u boat.

DISASTROUS CAVE IN.
A Mine in wiIkesbarre, Pa, Caves
in, Involving Loss OF 100000.

A disastrous cave in took place at
Wilkesbarre, Pa, on the 18th. The
Hollenbeck and Hcllman vein mines
are situated under a thickly settled
portion of the city. They are a thou
sand feet deep, and for years past no
coal was supposed to be mined in that
portion OF it underlying for fear the
earth would sink. At 4 o'clock a
crash came, and one Of the principal
thoroughfares of the city is filed with
crevices, from which gas escaped in
huge volumes. The owners OF houses
were greatly alarmed. The men in
the mines had all they could do to
escape with their lives. Some OF the
mules were caught in the workings
and killed. Eight hundred men and
boys are thrown out OF work. The
mine owners loss will DO oyor $780,
900, and the loss to property owners
on the surface will be double this
amount.
