Is learned that the scheme
has been in embryo for several weeks,

!t. The work commenced at u o'clock
last night. and all night thereafter men.

were crossing an re-cTOsSing the river,
the people of Pierre being entirely un-

went well until until about s

who farms the land whereOn
the squatters had located, dis
covered them. Securing band OF fol-
lowers, he attacked the squatters with
guns, pistols and lassoes. They lassoed
the boss carpenter and severely injured
several of the home-seekerS. Finally.

being unable to hold out IN the battle.
To add to their dismay, a storm of rain

now all that marks the prospective

smoke, visible here. while the yels of
the victorious haIf-breeds, mingled with
pistol shots. can plainly be heard on

CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-The first fatal
case of acute Influenza in the city was
reported to the Health department to-
day. when the death certificate was
filed. The victim was Mrs. Julia A. In
gals, aged seventy-two years. She re-
sided at 633I Wright street. in Lake, and
died Dec. a. after being sick one week,
Il doubt very much If it is the Russian
disease" said Health Commissioner
Wickersham. ''but we have no way of
going behind the record" Dr. ). 5.
Bishop said to reporter to-day that ln-
f1uenZa had been prevalent in the city
for two weeks, though people were
not generally aware of it. 1t was
not, he said. the ordinary vari-
ETY. of this disease, being more
s.vere, compelling the sufferers to re-
main in bed. He added that Sgr. Tama-
ganO, the tenor of the Patti Opera COM
panv, was suffering from the disease in
its mild form, and that it was likely to
bother him for some days to come. DR..
Bishop said further that opera singers
were generally unfavOrably affected as
TO their thrOatS when in Chicago. The
following is an extract from lecture
delivered by him in 1877 on this subject:
"An 0nera singer visited my office and
announced that she had the Chicago
grip Our surprise was mutual when
confessed to ignorance of the meaning
of the term. Don't you know what the
Chicago grip is?' she replied. We all
have it when we visit Chicago. We
take cold and sneeZe. our eyes water,
our noses run. our throatS are affected,
and we sing at a great disadvantage.
Whenever we are in Chicago or Pitts
burg we expect to have this trouble,
and it is known among professional
singers as the Chicago grip"

THREE WOMEN CREMATED.
Fatalities Attending a Fire in a
Frisco Tenement.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S.-Three
lives were lost and several persons Sc
riousIy inju.ed last night in a fire in the
old St. Ignace church building on Mar
ket street, opposite Baldwln's hotel.
The first two stories of the building
were occupied by the New York Fur
niture company, the Carrier Dove
Printing company and number of prl-
vate offices. On the third floor were a
number of roomers. The fire. which is
supposed to have started in the fur
niture store, spread very rapidly. Miss
Copeland, an old lady. persisted IN her
room. Mrs. Elizabeth Evans endeav-
ored TO rescue her but was overcome by
the smoke and severely burned
before she could be gotten out.
After the flames were eXtin-
guished 1t was found that two
persons in addition to Miss Copeland
had perished. The body of Mrs. Crow
ell. a roomer in the attic of the building.
was found lying across the threshold of
her door. where she had been suffo-
Gated. The body of a washerwOman
known as Ida" who used to room with
Mrs. Crowell, was also found near that
of Miss Copeland, and they were burned
bevOnd recognition. Foreman Logan
and Policeman Williams went to the
rescue of Mrs. Crowell and her son in
the attic. Logan was overcome by the
smoke and fell unconscious to the floor.
Officer Williams took young CroWell
out and then returned for Logan. whom
he carried to place of safety. He then
went back for Mrs. Crowell. but was al
most suffoeated by smoke and had to
retreat. Jack McAulitfe, fireman,
was precipitated to the ground by the
breaking of ladder, and received fatal
injuries. Another fireman was slightly
injured by falling wall. The peeuni-
ary loss amounts to $4,000, fully COW

BROILED TO DEATH.
Peculiarly Horrible Fate of
Hoover Crank,

KoKoMo, Ind, Dec. 2s.-A peculiarly
horrible death occurred here last night
which created great sensation.
George lyle, an eccentric character,
has been running a bath house in
this city for several years, and claiming
a wonderful efficacy in his baths in the
cure of all kinds of maladies. Among
his patrons was John Clarke, an old
well-to-do farmer living near town. and
who was afflicted with paralysis.
He has been for some months
taking one or two baths a week
at Tyle's room, and yesterday evening
Tyle put him into bath tub at s
O'Clock and left him to himself, while
he engaged in revelry with some COM
panions. lyle finally went to bed and
forgot his patient, whom he had left in
hot bath with the gas burning beneath
the bath tub. He found Clarke this
morning dead, with the skin all peeled
off his body, as well as portions
of flesh. He was literally boiled to-
death, being powerless to help himself
out of his awful situation. He has a
family of grown children, and is about
seventy years old. lyle is in jail
ava ting the result of the coroner's in
quest. which will be held Monday. He
has always been considered very &C.
centric.

iring was the first intimation
he people of the town had of the
trouble. 1t seemed then as If the
negroes would rise up and revenge the
lynching. In response to a request the
governor ordered company Of infantry

If Barnwell, this evening, sent out a
circular stating in substance that the
people of that community had been
Ireatly incensed by the repeated
murders of whites by negroes. Three
white men of prominence having
recently been killed. that the trial of
some of these negroes had been put off !;
that it seemed as if justice would not
be done. They could not explain their
feelings, nor could they hope for the
outside world to understand how they
felt at the repeated outrages, but they
were confident any other community in
the country would have acted in the
same manner.

European Opinion Is That BraZiFS
Government Is Unstable.
BERLIN, Dec. 2S.-An exchange OF
views with the English government re-
garding the decree of the provisional
government in Brazil concerning natur-
alization has caused Prince Bismarck to
abandon the intention to take any i'm
mediate action. The chancellor favored
from the first absolute non-interferenco
and refusal to recognize the change
ratified by an election of the peo-
pie; but he was willing to act in
concert with England and Italy in any
measures necessary to protect the
financial and commercial interests and
personal rights of the subjects of each
power. Recent dispatches from Rio
Janeiro have influenced the three
powers to agree in ignoring the natural
ization decree and other irregular acts
of the revolutionary leaders. The gen.
eral conviction grows here that the new
government is merely a military junto,
which is unstable and will be swept
away even before the date to which it
has postponed the elections. The semi
official press treats the revolution as the
work of group of
AMBITIOUS POLITICIANS,
imposing themselves upon the country
by sheer audacitv. and regard it as inn
possible that any constituted power can
hold relations with handful of adven-
turers calling themselves a govern
ment. The fear of a Republican rising
in Portugal. consequent upon an extern
sion there of the ferment originating in
Brazil is much less since the character
of the movement in Rio Janeiro has
been revealed. Advices received here
from Lisbon indicate. in fact, that the
Republican propaganda there has
been paralyzed by the despotic
doings in Rio Janeiro. and that
there is strong popular reac-
ton in favor of the monarchy.
The provisional government of Brazil
has addressed to the European powers
an impatientlY couched note deploring
the readiness of Europe to credit rumors
inimical TO the new regime. while ex-
hibting unWilIln9neSS to accept the
statements of those in authority to the
contrary. The facilities of the various
European governments for obtaining ab-
solutely correct information respecting
the condition of affairs in Brazil are
such. however. as to warrant them in
continuing to discount the rOse-colored
accounts sent out by the military dc
tatorship at present constituting what
little government Brazil enjoys. and the
note will have little or no effect.

Five Drunken Arkansans Waylay
and Outrage Respectable
Girl.
HARRISON, Ark, Dec. 2s.-On Tues
day night near Bellefonte, Boone
county, an awful crime was committed.
Miss Mate, daughter of John Mate, at
tended dance, where her escort was
taken i'll, and she accepted the company
of young man named John Dees on
the way home. Dees mistook the
way, and, though sbe protested,
he insisted the road he had taken was
the shorter way. After travelling few
miles the couple were Overtaken by five
drunken men, who made an assault on
Miss Mate. dragged her from her horse
and compelled her by force to submit to
them. Her escort made no effort to de-
fend her. She was kept in the woods
at the mercy OF these men until day
hight. 1t is feared she cannot re-
cover from her injuries. The in
jured girl cannot identify any of her
assailants, but it is thought all of them
will be captured, and summary justice
will probably be visited upon them.
Young Dees' conduct is the cause OF
great Indignation, and it is freely
charged that. while he was guilty of no
overt act himself, he acted as decoy
for others. Dees is the son of a clergy
man. The unfortunate girl Is highly
respected and bears an unblemished
reputation.

OPoRTo, Dec. 2S.-The ex-Empress
Theresa of Brazil, who was visiting in
this city with Dom Pedro, died to-day.
1t IS believed that her death resulted
from heart disease. The Illness of the
ex-empress first assumed an alarming
phase yesterday. 1t had been the in
tention of the imperial family to start
for France to-day. The doctors for.
bade the journey for fear that excite
ment and fatigue would precipitate a
crisis. The empress was, however. q
little better this morning. During
the morning Dom Pedro went out
for a promenade, and visited the
museum of fine arts. He was found
there by the Brazilian consul, who had
been dispatched to hasten his return to
the hotel because the condition of the
empress had suddenly become critical.
Before Dom Pedro arrived the empress
was dead. The remains will be tenn
porarily deposited in a mOrtuary chapel
in the Lapa convent here. and will be-
afterwards taken to Lisbon for inter-

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 2S.-The Chron-
icle, referring to the lynching of the
negroes confined in Jail at Barnwell, s.
c.. charged with the murder of two
white citizens, will say tomorrow:
white men who mob and shoot negroes
accused of crime, violate the laws of
God and their country. They are guilty
of murder. and however revolving the
crimes supposed to have been commit
ted by those upon whom their ven
geance is wrecked, men who take
the law in their own hands,
who usurp the places of judge
and jury, are conspirators against
the peace and integrity of the
state and enemies to the most sacred
rights and only safeguard of the lIber-
ties OF people. The shooting of the
negroes. whether guilty or not. by q
band of lawless white men is brutal. 1t
is disgrace to our civilization and a
scandal and shame to any community
that tolerateS or perpetrateS such acts OF
lawlessness, inhumanity and crime"

SIX GRAINS OF MORPHINE.
Dose Taken by baltimore Youth
With Suicidal Intent.

NEW CASTLE, Pa, Dec. 2S.-S. j.
Wilkinson, a son of wealthy parents in
Baltimore, Md, attempted to commit
suicide here this afternoon by taking
forty-eight one-eighth-grain NOR phine
pills. When found Wilkinson was
wandering Oh the streets in a
semi-uncOnsciOus condition. He is

ditional and will not likely recover.
Wilkinson's father is president of the
International, New Jersey, New Castle
& Philadelphia Asphalt Paving Block
works. and young Wilkinson was here
assisting in putting up the new asphalt
plant. No cause is given other than
that the young man had been drinking
to excess. He had been in New Castle
