RIOT IN A THEATER
One Man Shot aud Several Others
Badly Beaten.

There was a serious and bloody riot
at a performance given by the Sunny
South Theatrical company at Credo,
w. Va. a few nights ago. One man
was shot and over dozen badly
beaten, while the floating theater in
which the trouble occurred was badly
wrecked. The trouble was inaugurated
by number of toughs, who persisted
in insulting people upon the stage.
During the second act three OF the
performers left the stage with clubs
and attacked several OF their torment
ors, but were overpowered and cruelty
beaten. The remainder of the COM
pany went to their assistance, when
some one turned out the lights. Pan
demonium broke loose, and every man
began an onslaught on his neighbour,
while the women screamed. The po-
lice arrived, but this only made mat
tiers worse, and soon revolver shots
began to echo around the hall. Finally
the crowd charged on the stage after
the fleeing performers, who were UNI
tremendously flung into the river,
where they were stoned in the dark
ness. Every one OF the police and
show people were badly wounded by
stones, and the condition OF several is

DEATH ON THE TRACK.
Terrible Wreck on the Colony
Road in Massachusetts,
At Least Seventeen Persons Killed
and Many More Probably
Seriously Injured.

1t is reported that eight persons
were killed besides the engineer and
fireman and twenty persons injured in
a railroad wreck on thu Old Colony
railroad near Braintree at / o'clock
Aug. 10. The engine jumped the
track and toppled over. The first
car fell on it setting fire to the train.
A Quincy, Mass, special says: The
list of dead increases. 1t is now
definitely known that seventeen pass
engers are dead. Their bodies have
all been recovered from the wreck.
Everything is in confusion and it is
impossible to procure the names OF
all the passengers who lost their
lives. The work OF removing the
dead and injured from the wreck
was extremely difficult and slow.
After removal the dead were taken to
the morgue and the injured to the
Quincy hospital, where the Boston
surgeons are located.
A Herald reporter who was on the
train says: 1.-The engine jumped the
track on the west side, plunging into
the steep bank adjoining the Adams
estate. The nine cars attached TO the
engine plunged after it. The first
three-a baggage, Pullman and u
smokeing car-went clear OF the en-
CINE, but the fourth, a passenger.
collided with the engine and was in
stantly filled with escaping steam.
The next five cars remained on the
track, but the occupants were badly
shaken up. The ill-fated passenger
car was completely wrecked. 1t con-
tanned seventy-fve passengers, men,
women and children. The windows
on the east side were all closed, there
by preventing the steam from escap-
ing. The scenes about the car were
OF the widest description; strong men
tainted as the steamed bodies OF men,
women and children were being taken
from the ruins. Some OF the occu-
pants, gifted with presence Of mind,
broke through the windows and es-
capped with slight wounds. Where
the engine and car collided were sew
eral women and children steamed to
death while some were badly mangled.
The Quincy fire department and all
the surgeons in the city were sum-
moned to the spot, and the lawns on
each side OF the railroad were covered
with killed and injured. Heroic eff
forts were made by the train hands
and passengers to rescue some OF the
passengers, and they succeeded in re-
moving twenty or more who We're
only slightly injured. Fireman Ryan
in attempting TO save his life was
caught between the passenger car and
engine and killed. Engineer Bullock,
who jumped from his engine, but not
until he had done all that was pos
sible to avoid the wreck, was injured
about the head and badly scalded.
Conductor Stedman and one Of the
brakemen sustained severe injuries
about the face and hands. Among
those on board the train was f. G.
Bailey, formerly of the Herald. He
was in the first smoker, and only re-
ceived slight shaking up.
The only reason given for the acct
dent was very bad curve near the
bridge, the scene OF the accident, and
to this, together with the fact that
the road is undergoing repairs, is
attributed the cause OF the accident.

The report of a revolver, together
with rapidly driven carriage, crea,ed
quite an excitement on the principal
street OF Ida Grove the other morning.
The facts as near as could be CLEANED
are about as follows, Miss Cora
Lyntch, a young girl about Ii years
old, living north of town, came in to
spend several days with friends. She
confded the secret that she was going
to elope next morning with man by
the name OF Ulrich, and that a man
named Croson was to meet her at s
o'clock and start for Storm Lake,
where they expected to meet the would
be groom. The intelligence was COM
municated to James Engle, her broth
er-in-law, who bundled the girl up and
took her home. Next morning the
carriage arrived promptly, but in.
stead OF the girl meeting it, her father
and brother stepped out on the battle
field. Croson took in the situation
very readily and started for the coun.
try, followed by bullet from Lyntch's
revolver, but he failed to halt him. A
constable was sent after him, and after
q long and crooked race overlook him
about fourteen miles from town. He
was taken back, but no charge having
been fled he was released.

VERY SATISFACTORY
Iowa Employees OF the Illinois Gen.
trail Present Their Demands.

The trainmen OF the Illinois Central
road from New Orleans to Sioux City
have presented petitions to their re-
spectiye division superintendent ask
ing for an increase Of wages and tho
granting OF certain further privileges.
1t is an organized movement on the
part OF all passenger and freight con-
ductors aud brakemen and baggage
men on the entire system, the engineers
and iiremen being alone excepted.
Committees chosen by the brother
hoods OF conductors and brakemen in
Iowa met superintendent OF Iowa Lines
Gilleas and Division Superintendent
Quimby in Dubuque, Aug. q. Super.
lntendent Gilleas said the conference
was very satisfactory. The agreement
is copy OF the Santa Fe agreement.
The trainmen informed him that the
Central employees have all its essen
tial benefits now except the pay.
though they are not secured to them
by explicit agreement. The men ad-
mitted that some OF their demands
should be modified. They were high
ly satisfied with tho conference and
say Superintendent Gilleas will recon-
mend the granting OF the increase in
salaries. The committee from tho Du-
buque section has one special griev-
ance which they asked TO have right
ed. The distance from Dubuque to
Waterloo is ninety-four miles. For
running this distance engineers are
now allowed full 100 miles, which
constitutes a full days work. Con-
ductors, prakemen and baggagemen
riding on the same train are given
credit only for ninety-four miles, SO
that at the end OF week they are a
good many miles short OF the engineers

PROSPECTS OF A STRIKE.
The Railroad Men in Ind lana May
Quit Their Work.

There is a growing restlessness on
the part OF the railroad employees in
indianapolis, Ind, and IL is now an
open secret that the officials OF all the
lines except the Big Four regard a
strike as likely to take place at most
any time. Within the last few days
several men, presumably from New
York, have been mingling with The
employees. The Cincinnati, Hamiiton
& indianapolis freight hands want nm
increase in wages. The Lake Erie 4
Western switchmen have been refu' sod
au increase. Not u pound OF perish
able freight is being handled for the
east, and shippers OF other freight are
promised nothing when making appli-
cation except that the company will
90 the best it can. No promises as to
prompt delivery in any direction are
being made.

Caro- OF Harvesting Machines.
The new self.binder harvesters are
very cumbrous and difficult to get
under shelter easily, There are few
& ties that they can be driven through
except with tho greatest care. As u
consequence they are usually left ont

wide barn floors. Every man who

These costly machines rust and rot
more than their wear In service. The
rusting OF the iron portions aud tho
swelling aud shrinking OF wood work
soon makes tho parts work unevenly.
Often after single years uso the
harvester thus neglected costs more

work IL does Is worth. After all Ito
seasons work Is completed the har-

EASTERN CYCLONE
Great Destruction of Life and Prop.
eruy in Pennsylvania

One Of the worst cyclones ever ex-
perienced in the East came upon
Wilkesbarre, Pa, about five o'clock
on the afternoon ofAug. 10th. Itcame
from up the river. The sky was black
as night and the wind blew with great
velocity. Trees were blown down and
hundreds Of houses completely de-
molished. 1t is said that several peo-
pie were killed, but up to this time the
number cannot be learned. In different
parts of the city the havoc made by
the cyclone is fearful, many districts
being laid in ruin and there are
number Of people homeless. The loss
will reach hundreds Of thousands OF
dollars. Every wire in the city,
telegraph, electric light and telephone,
were blown down. Trains and engines
which were at the depot were blown
over and wrecked. The streets are
blocked with fallen trees and buildings.
Four men are known to have been
killed in the Hazard wire rope
works and the total known to be killed
in the city SO far is. reported at
twelve. Three miners were killed by
the falling Of house on Scott street.
The miners had returned from work
but short time when the building
collapsed, burying them. A little
colored girl was killed in falling
building on South Main street. A man
and two horses were killed by the
falling Of lumber at Kyttle's planning
mill. Two men were killed by the
falling Of a brewery. Another was
killed In Browns brick building on
East Market street, which was de-
molished. Reports thus far received
indicate the death OF fifteen or sixteen
others. Fully two hundred buildings
are wholly or partially wrecked. One
hundred tin roofs have been telegraph
cd for and building mechanics OF all
kinds can find employment The
Murray shaft fan house was blown
down and the fan stopped. There are
twenty-seven men in the mine, but it
is hoped they can be got out safely.
At 7:30 p. m. reports came from Sugar
Notch, mining town three miles from
here, that the destruction to property
is terrible. Coal breaks in all directions
have been more or less damaged at
Parsons and Mill Creek, four miles
from there, and ten men are reported
to have been killed. All communi-
cation is cut off and the telegraph
wires are down in all directions. The
dispatches give long listof the killed
and injured.

ALITTLE ROCK SENSATION
A Trusted Book. keeper Does Up the
Town and Skips.

Until few weeks ago d. G. Jordan,
book-keeper at the bank OF Little
Rock, Ark, was one OF the most popu.
lar young men in the city. He had a
splendid position, pleasant home
with charming wife, and no shadow
Of suspicion had ever fallen on his
character. A few days ago Jordan
asked for a short vacation and i'm
mediately took his departure for the
north. He left his wife at home with
out bidding her good-by. Jordan's
perfdy came out when it was discov-
cred that he had raised two small drafts
of $40 each to something over 5000
apiece. 1t appears that he purchased
the drafts before leaving there, both
of which were on New York banks.
When he reached ST. Louis he raised
the amount on one OF his checks to
1925, drawing the money through
bank in that city. At Chicago he
raised the other check to 1915, and
secured the amount Both checks
came to the Bank or Little Rock,
where the forgery was discovered and
payment refused. 1t then leaked out
that the erripg book-keeper had
companion in his flight, a young Wild
ow OF that city, who had left Little
Rock on the same train. This infor-
nation fell like thunderbolt on his
friends, arousing mingled surprise and
indignation. Further investigation re-
veals the fact that prior to his de-
parture he sold valuable bicycle,
notes to the amount of $50 which he
had given in payment of it still re-
naming unreceipted. Jordan had
borne an excellent reputation, and
married into one OF the best families
in the city. When last heard of Jor-
dan and his companion were in Chi
cago. 1t is not known whether or not
any effort will be made to secure his
arrest.

TO PRISON FOR LIFE.
Punishment of n West Virginia wo-
man for killing Her Husband.

The trial of Mrs. Jacob Morgan in
Tyler county, w. Va, has come to an
end with verdict OF murder in the
first degree, and the woman has been
sentenced to the penitentiary for life,
the first case In the history OF the
state in which woman has been given
that punishment The murdered man
was cousin OF General John Morgan,
the celebrated confederate raider and
cavalry commander, and the crime
was cold-blooded one. The womans
husband had been absent from home
on the date OF the murder, May 8,
1888, and on his return sat down to
supper, not knowing that his food was
poisoned. While he was eating his
wife went behind him and shot him in
the back. Morgan fell over and his
wife cut his throat with butcher
knife. She then ran to u neighbours
house and said that n stranger had
come to her home, had asked for sup
per, and had shot her husband in the
breast. She Immediately fed, she de-
clared, and another stranger entered
the house and cut her husbands
throat. The state succeeded in fixing
the crime upon Mrs. Morgan, a neigh
Dor testiiying that she said four or five
days before the murder that her hus-
band would be dead in six days.
Another woman had called u. the house
while the table was being set, and was
about TO drink cup of tea when Mrs.
Morgan took it from her. 1t was
shown that a rifle in the honse was
loaded the day before the murder, but
was empty after the crime was COM
mitted. While in jail Mrs. Morgan
was heard talking to herself, saying
once: II laid the plot and fixed him.
