CONTINENTAL CYCLONES.
Their Courses Marked by Devastation
Several Lives Lost.

Their Courses Marked by Devastation.
Several Lives Lost.
Frightful results have followed the
cyclone which have ragged in various
places on the continent within the last
week. Large tracts of country have
been devastated, thousands of horses,
cattle and other animals have been
killed, crops have been ruined, buildings
were wrecked and other damage has
been inflicted which it will take months
to repair. Accompanying these storms
in many cases We're terrific flashes of
lightning, the effects of which were
fatal to human life in several places.
AT Auxonne, FraiSee, the barracks
Were struck and five soldiers were
killed.
At Pavia, Italy, a bolt descended
upon church during the performance
of divine service, killed two priests who
were officiating at the altar and stun
ming a number Of the congregation.
AT Zwickau, Bohemia, lightning
struck a dwelling house, prostrating the
occupants and setting fire to the build
ing. The house was totally consumed
and the entire family of six persons
were burned with it.

ly, (which has engaged my attention is
the manner in which presidential elect

know, they are elected collectively by
each state.
"The election should be by districts,
with two-at-large to represent the sena-

vania is bound TO elect all Republican
electors and Mississippi all Democratic

the Cheyenne agency eliminated
Wednesday. The chief, when defeated
in his demand to have his bands beef
rations issued at his camp on Cherry
creek instead of at the Cheyenne agency
made demand that the beef be issued
to them on the hoof instead of being
killed. This the agent refused to do,
when Big Foot threatened to take their
number of bullocks forcibly and
drive them to the Cherry creek camp to
to be slaughtered there.
The agent became alarmed and sum
moned all the police to guard the herd,
Big Foot said he would not take the
beef unless as he wanted it, and ordered
all his followers away to Cherry creek,
where they are now. Hump is captain
of the police and Big Foot's rival. The
hostiles followed Big Foot. and now
Hump has started for their camp to ar

THE DUNBAR VERDICT.

The Mine Superintendent Held RespOnsi-
BILE and the People Protest.
DUNBAR, Pa, July 14.-The coroner's
jury in the case of the Hill Farm
disaster Friday rendered the following
verdict:
Daniel Shearin came to his
death while in the discharge of
his duty as fire boss in the Hill Farm
mine on the 10th day of June, 1900, by
being suffocated with after damp, a
smoke caused 10y an explosion of gas by
Jonn Kerwin opening a drill hole il an
unlawful ma5lners under directions and
by order. or Robert Lang, superintend-
ent, and that said Robert Lang is Grim
inally responsible in causing the death
Of said Daniel Shearin.
David Hay came to his death while
in the discharge of duty, in trying to
rescue his son in the Hill Farm mine on
the 10th of June, 1890, by being suffo-
Gated with after damp and smoke
caused by an explosion of gas by John
Kerwin opening drill hole in an IN
lawful manner under direction and by
the order of Robert Lang, superintend-
ent, and that we believe said Robert
Lang is criminally responsible in caus-
ing the death of said David Hay"
The public feeling is against the ver-
diet. The laboring people say the blame
should not be laid ON Mr. Lang, who
has always been faithful in his duty in
looking after the safety and welfare of
his employees, and that similar mistake
was liable to be made by any one under
the same circumstances.
superintendent Lang is very indig-
nant over the verdict. and says it is the
result of spite work Mine Inspector
Keighley said that as he understood the
law it was his duty to prosecute Super
intendent Lang. and If he is right in
his opinion he win do so without hesita-

MRS. COULD ACQUITTED.
She Killed Her Husband in Self Defense.
A MysteriOus ConnIa.

ATLANTA, Ga, July .4.-The killing
of Charles Y. Gould, the wealthy En-
glishman, BY his wife, Mrs. Lille
Gould, at Murphy, N. c., last week,
has been followed by the acquittal of
the woman, The stabbing occurred
several days ago, and was kept secret
as long as possible. This was easy, be-
cause there was only one witness to the
affair. to wit Bob Ramsey, colored.
For three or four weeks Mr.. and Mrs.
Gonld had been indulging in intoxi-
cants, wealth and leisure making it
easy for them to do as they pleased.
When under the influence of drink
Gould would go on tear, demolish
furniture and whip his wife.
The Murder.
Tuesday last he ran her down stairs
with cane. Dob Ramsey, colored, was
in the yard and Mrs Gould ran behind
him for protection. After awhile Bob
got them back into the house, and there
the assault was renewed. Gould started
at his wife, and she exclaimed: "If you
strike me will kill you" He struck
her, and she stabbed him with dagger.
The blade entered the abdomen and
even pierced the liver. The wounded
man fell over against the bed and the
colored man took the dagger from Mrs.
Gould's hand. He wiped the blood off
and then took the stick from Mr.. Gould.
Have hurt himt" did | do right ?"
II did it in self-defense!" Such were
the wife's ordinations. II do not
know whether you have done right or
not, answered the colored man.
Wednesday night, Gould died. Next
morning the wife was playing on the
piano, as usual, saying her husband sas
not dead. Some believed her mind I'M
balanced. She was arrested, and after
a trial was released, the court deciding
that the act was done in self-defense.
Involved in Mystery.
The previous history of the couple is
involved in mystery. The story of their
arrival ia Atlanta and what they had to
say about Themselves, already given, is
all that is known. The woman abso-
lutely refuses to talk further. The sup
position now is that there is some mys-
terry in the couples living together.
Gould had money, got frequent re-
mittances and was man of affairs. 1t
is supposed that the pair must have been
in hiding from relatives or others, and
it is only on this hypothesis that their
selection of western North Carolina as
residence can be- explained

A PITCHED BATTLE.
Fight Between Rival Political Factions at

Ysleta, Tex.
DENVER, COL, July II. "A telegram
from Ysleta, Tex, says that pitched
battle occurred at that place Friday
afternoon and Friday night between two
factions Ever since the local election
in April both factions have claimed con-
troll of the city government, and numer-
GUS fights have occurred. One party,
led by an intelligent Mexican, was called
the Peoples Party" and another, led
by Jew named Taal, was called the
Republican party.
Several fights have resulted and it has
been expected that the trouble would
culminate in bloody conflict and these
prophecies came true. A later Dispatch
says that the fight has been closed but
with both sides holding their ground,
and it is impossible for anyone to ven
ture out to discover the number of dead
and wounded. The telegraph operator
there wired that he counted six dead
bodies from his window.

The London papers unite in extending
their best wishes to Stanley and heartily

The Presents.
The number of presents received by
Miss Tenant, and which occupy every
FOOT OF available space in her commodi-
ous apartments is almost beyond reali-
zation. Temporary tables have been
erected for the accommodation Of such
articles as may be displayed in that
way, and the collection of gifts includes
almost every imaginable article devoted
to tire uses of luxury or comfort. The
donors include the queen, the Prince
and Princes of Wales, the Duke of Fife,
Mr., Gladstone, Baroness Burdett
Coutts, Sir J. E. Millais, Lord Brasser
and hundreds of other prominent and
titled persons.
The oldest of the gifts is bottle of
water from the Victoria Nyanza, and
the most valuable is an immense uncut
diamond presented by Mr.. Andrew
Carnegia. Mr.. Stanley's needs as a
smoker have been faithfully looked
after in the presentation of innumera-
bic boxes Of cigars of the finest brands.
Probably no couple received a more
varied collection of useful and unique
gifts.
