down the electric light towers, destroyed the
fronts of several blocks and demolished doz-

The saddest of all is the death of the en-.

SPOKANE FALLS, WASH, July 4.-Horse
thieves have made a grand round up in
eastern Washington and northern Idaho
during the past few days. The method of
their operations indicates they have regu-
larly organized band, with a leader and
numbers sufficient TO cover large area Of
country. Saturday and Sunday last they
rendezvoused near this city and hastened
away with 500 head of horses toward the
British Columbia line, through the Flat

traced to with few miles of Spokane Falls.
A large number of ranchers are here to-
day organizing for pursuit OF the thieves
but with little hope of success, as the viii
lains have several hundred miles start. A
small posse started last night under the
direction of Deputy Marshal Warren. A
battle is sure to occur if the pursuers over
take the thieves.

His Nerve Failed Him at the Rapids.


NIAsRA FALLS, July 4.--John Lincoln
Soules made an attempt TO swim the Whirl-
pool Rapids this afternoon, but unlike 9TH
ers who have attempted this feat he only
went short distance in the wild waters of
the narrow gorge before he was pulled
ashore, much to his pleasure and before he
got fairly into the rapids. 1t had been an
nounced that Soules and Samuel Smith, of
Lewiston, would have a race but Smith
backed out The start was made at 3:l5 D.
m, from point on the Canadian shore
short distance above the cantileyer bridge.
Soules wore a pair of trunks and cork life
preserver, the same one that Campbell wore
on his trip, September Is, 1889. II was
with an apparently bold stroke that the
swimmer struck out, but all who watched
him were surprised that he did not make for
midstream. Not one stroke did he take so
as TO be free from the treacherous rocks that
lay submerged here and there along the Ca
madam shore. AT no time was he over for
ty feet from the shore. He passed the first
breaker in an upright position. The second
breaker carried him in under, and for a
minute he was out of sight As he was
ruthlessly hurled along down stream there
appeared before him huge rock, and just
as he was about TO be dashed against il he
threw out his arms and showed himself
away from t. After he bad passed another
breaker he fioated into an eddy behind
rock and made for the shore, landing about
fifty feet from the inclined railway on the
Canada side, and about 800 feet below the
railway suspension bridge. Alter he had
landed il was discovered that his left knee
had been badly injured by coming in COLI
tact with rock. The wound was bound
up and he was taken to the American side

He Cut Her Throat.

ALTOONA, Pa, July 6-Shortly afler
o'clock this morning the inhabitants Of Gal
litzin. a mining town seven miles distant
from this city, were thrown into great ex-
element by the report that young man
had cruelty murdered young girl, and
shortly aiterwsrd an officer came to town
with Harry Marsh, aged q years and coal
minor by occupation, prisoner. Marsh
had been met by two men on the outskirts
of the town and confessed that he had muir
dered Clara Jones, domestic in the hotel
at Gallitzin.
As near as can be learned, Marsh had been
paying attention to the young woman and it
is said that his advances were not kindly
receiy ed by her. and he having been drink
ing heavily for some time, made himself re-
pulsiye to her. Last evening Marsh called
at the hotel and was refused admittance, the
young girl having told the proprietor that
Marsh's attentions were distasteful to her.
About O'Clock this morning Marsh and
Miss Jones were seen going in the direction
of Amalercy. where the girls mother lived
and ii was afterward learned that they were
going to get the mothers consent 10 their
marriage. 1t is supposed that the quarrel
being renewed OH the way, Marsh determin-
ed to kill the girl. Her throat was cut from
ear to ear with razor and she was left ly-
ing sor dead. Marsh then came back to
town, confessed that he had killed the girl,
and was taken to Jail at Ebensburg TO await
.he result of her injuries.
The young woman was found shortly af-
terward with a terrible cash in her throat
and her windpipe severed. She was bleed
ing profusely and was given medical as
sistance. 1t is thought that she cannot pos
sibly recover.

Pike,s Peak Painted Red.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Col, July 5.-0ne of
the most novel exhibitions ever devised for
the celebration of the Fourth of July was
put on exhibition last evening. The origin
ator of the idea is George W. Altemus, of
Camden, n. j. Two barrels of kerosene and
one of red fire were taken up to the summit
of Pixies Peak with great effort yesterday,
together with'a large supply of rockets and
other fireworks. Last night at $50 O'Clock
a bonfire was bnilt on the oil and powder
and the Peak was brilliantly illuminated
The mountain had all the appearance of an
enormous volcano vomiting forth immense
columns of fire, and rockets shooting in all
directions added to the effect The illumin-
atoms could be seen for 100 miles in all di-
rections

FOUR PERSONS DROWNED.
Terrible End of a Pleasure Party at
Nick sesDort.


The overiuruing Of a skifF in the Youghio-
gheny river, causing The death Of four per
sons, was tragedy that caused the Fourth
Of July to end ia gloom at MeKsesport.
At oe;oek Friday afternoon Mr. aud
Mrs. John Thompson and lheirtwo children
-Eiizs, aged ? years, and an infant in arms
and Mr. and Ms. Richard Smith with
their two children-PrisciIla. little girl,
and Robert, aged 10 got into a large Hat
bottoined skiif for a row on the Youghio-
gheny The Thompsons and Smiths are
neighbors.
All went well for q short time. But when
the party was opposite the foot OF Eleventh
street, McKeesporf. the stern Of the skiff, in
which the women aud children were seated
gave way. In another moment the boat
sank, and all its occupants were struggling
in the water which is quite deep at the
point where the accident occurred.
1t was time to try mems souls. The
fathers, being expert swimmers, could easily
have saved themselves But their first
thought was for the helpless ones. Mrs.
Thompson clung to her baby, and after
struggle her husband succeeded in getting
her and the child ashore
Thompson was exhausted, but his 2-year-
old daughter was still in the water. Giving
no thought TO himself, he again plunged
into the river. He struck out brayeiy for
the place where his child had gone down,
but it was too late. The little one had gone
down for the last time. Realizing this, the
father discovered too late that his strength
was gone, and, with despairing cry, he
sank under water, out of the sight of his
wife who was watching and praying on the
bank
Richard Smith met the fate of Thompson.
He also saved his wife, and then plunged
into the water again to rescue his little
daughter, Priscilla. The little girl was
drowned before the father could reach her,
and Smith, too weak to swim the river
second time, was also drowned. Robert
Smith, the boy, swan to the shore.
The bodies were soon recovered and the
Coroner notified Thompson was watch
maker and Smith was employed at the Ma
tional Tube Works

scott's Mugwump Candidate.

From the New York Press
William l. SCOTS Muswump candidate
for Governor of Pennsylvania, Robert f.
Pattison, received the Democratic nomina-
tion for that office yesterday in the Scranton
convention Pattison is what DIR. Halstead
called Campbell, Of Ohio not merely an ac-
cidenf, but a sort of anecdote. He is a rem
iniseence of the tidal wave of 1882, when he
and Cleveland and Butler were made Gov
ernors oftheir respective States by the Mug
wump skirmish that preceded the battle of
1882. He is a cold, narrowminded, cross
grained young man, whose career as Govern
or of Pennsylvania was dominated almost
entirely by that unscrupulous, scheming and
artful Democratic politician, LAWS c. Cassi-
dy, who had been associated with the worst
period of Philadelphia politics, and whom
Pattison appointed Attorney General of the
State in defiance OF a tempest Of indignant
protests from reputable citizens of all par
ties. For all that, such. success as did attend
his administration was largely due to Lew
Cassidys shrewdness.
Cassidy is now dead, but the mediocre
Pattison has another leader in the person Of
ex Congressman William L. Scott of Erie,
Scott Haven, and Spring Valley the same
Scott who said. We Ccapitalists) can con-
troll the workiDgmen only so long as he eats
up to-day what he earns tomorrow
His nomination will fall like cloud
burst of ice water upon the Democratic
workers all over the Keystone State, whose
hearts beat warmly for Wallace and a
straight Democratic ticket, with no mug
wumpery in it. Pattison was elected in 50
only because fory-five thousand Repubi-
cans voted for the independent ticket headed
by Stewart, and some thousands more voted
directly for him. Bot they all got back into
line in 1884, when Blaines magnificent ma
iority of 81 600 was rolled up, and they have
mostly remained there ever since
The actual strength Of the Republican OPP
position to Senator Quay himself was tested
in 1855, when, in a light vote, he was elect
ed State Treasurer by about 5000 or the
same majority as that given to Governor
Beaver a year later The Republican ma
joriiy on county tickets in 1855 was about
6l 600 or 1900 mvre. The State gave Har-
rison 1852 over Cleveland in 1883, and
State Treasurer Boyer last year carried it by
GG.928, which is very near the usual majori-
,ty in an off year. Allowing, therefore, for
the 1900 auti-Quay vote indicated by the
election of 1855, 4 looks as il SCOTS friend
Pattison would be elected to stay in the
peaceful shades of Philadelphia by about
$4,000 majority for George Wallace Deama-

A Juvenile FIrebug Caught.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 4.-For two OF
three weeks the police have been puzzled by
incendiary fires in the southern part of the
city Wednesday Antioch Church was mys-
teriously fired, and little girl in the vicini-
ty said that she saw iye-year-old boy,
Johny Hampton, running from the struct-
ure just as the flames burst out. lnvestiga-
ton satisfied the police that the lad was the
troublesome firebug.
Just before the trial he confessed TO setting
the church on fire, and said that he had also
fired the Excelsior works and Frick's livery
stable. The only reason that he gave for
thus destroying the property was that he
wanted TO see the fire department horses
run.
