1000 SLAIN IN EGYPIS VAR
Bloody Engagement Fought
at Tokar Thursday.
THE ARABS SEVERELY WORSTED
Nearly Every Emir Slain on
the Field.
osman Digma Viewed the Conflict From
Safe Distance and After the Down
fall of His Troops Rode Away--Egypt's
Troops TO Advance on Teherin.

AFAFITE, EGYPT, Feb. 2l.-A severe en-
gagemen was fought at Tokar on February
18th, between the Egyptian troops who re.
Gently left FL Teb and Osman Digma's
forces. Nearly LOGO lives were lost in the
battle which followed the appearance Of
the Egyptians at Tokar.
The Egyptians made their advance from
Afaiite during the early dawn of the
morning of Thursday last. The enemy
was sighted near Tokar and after an ex-
change of shots between the skirmishera
of the enemy and the advance guard of
the Egyptians the latter pushed onward to
the brush wood surrounding Tokar and its
neighborhood in order to seize the old
government building, now little more
than tumbledown ruin but which
forms a strategic point where q
force Of infantry could hold
out against heavy odds. The Der
wishes, seeing the object of the Egyntians'
advance in that direction, made a rush for
the building and surrounded by COM
pact mass of ritlemen who poured hot
fire into the ranks of the advancing Egyp-
tians. The latter, however, were not to be
checked in their advance, returning the
Arabs, fire as they advanced. The Egyp-
tians fixed bayonets when within easy dis
tance OF the enemy and bravely charged
upon the defenders of the old ruins.
For over an hour desperate hand ia
hand bayonet, spear and sword fight fol.
lowed, during which the Egyptian troops
fought with the most determined bravery,
Finally the Egyptian cavalry made bril-
liant charge upon the Dervishes who re-
tired in disorder, suffering a crushing de-
feat. The Dervishes numbered at least
1000 fighting men, about an equal force of
Egyptians succeeded in reaching the shell
ter of the building the Arabs surrendered
them for the attack. After the retreat of
the Dervishes the troops found over 700
dead around the position mentioned while
large numbers of dead were lying in the
bushes around the buildings. Nearly every
Emir of importance who was present at
the battle fell upon the field.
Osman Digma did not take part in the
fight but watched its progress from point
of vantage near Afafite After seeing that
his faithful followers had suffered disas.

by about 80 horsemen fled. towards Tehe-

A Crank Sent to an Asylu,n.

EDINBURGH, Feb. GA sensation
was caused in labor circles here to-day
by the committal to an insane asylum of
a noted Scotch land agitator named
Alexander Robertson. Robertson, who
is popularity known under the sobriquet
of Dundonnachie, committed an APP
parently unprovoked assault upon Lord
Inglis, president Of the court of sessions.
Robertson struck Lord Inglis over the
head with stick on Prince street, this
city, inflicting, however, only slight in
jury to his lordship's Uranium. The land
agltator was promptly arrested, and as
it was obvious that he was of unsound
mind he was sent to an asylum by the
magistrate before whom he was taken.

A sDIGHr NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
But it Cost Man His J4ife--Lynchers
Now Soc Their NIistake.

DENVER, Coll, Feb 23.-The murder
at Salida, Col, Saturday night, which
wac followed by the lynching of Oliver
Reilly, now takes on an entirely diff
ercnt phase from that reported at first.
The first report was that Reilly was
stealing coal from the railroad chute
when Conductor Sullivan ordered him
away. Instead Of obeying Reilly shot
and killed Sullivan, and was then
lynched by the mob.
The official report is to the effect that
Reilly was in charge Of the chute and
was attempting to drive one Sullivan's
men away who was stealing the coal
Sullivan interfered and after war of
words knocked Reilly down who then
pulled his gun and shot Sullivan. The
mob not understanding the facts in the
case attempted to take Reilly from the
officers. Several shots were fired and
four men were wounded one of whom
was Reilly. The prisoner was dragged
half dead to a railroad crossing sign and
hanged without giving him opportunity
to say a word. A thorough Investigation
will be made and the perpetrators
punished.

courtesies to Empress Frederick.

PARIS, Feb. 24.-At the luncheon on
Sunday last when Empress Frederick of
Germany was the guest of Baron de
Tucher, the Bavarian Charge d'Affaires,
the Hon. Whitelaw Reid, the United
States minister, occupied the place of
honor on the right Of the empress. Mr.,
and Mrs. Reid also met the empress
daughter, the Crown Princess Sophi of
Greece. Empress Frederick was dressed
in deep mourning and all the dinners
and breakfasts which she attends are
small and quiet affairs. The princess
goes to the theatres but the empress does
not. The latter talks on all topics and
it may be safely said that politics are
not connected with her visit. No one
having any connection with the French
government has communicated with the
imperial visitor.

cast over two families by the accident
which happened near this city last
night. Six young men had been 10
Eddystone visiting and when returning
toward Chester, at Ridley Creek bridge,
an engine suddenly came upon them,
instantly killing John McCloskey, aged
-, and so badly mangling William p.
Powell, aged 10, that he died this morn
ing.
Two Of the other boys had to jump
from the trestle into the black mud,
twenty-five feet below, to escape. The
father Of young Powell was killed on
the Baltimore Central Railroad some
years ago. The engine that struck
them was a shifter, and was running
into Chester at full speed to tie up for

LOOMS LIKE MURDER.
A Lancaster Ripper at WorlS--The Body
DisInembered and Buried In a Sack--
4 Il.niist GtI..,I,rrI.. G,,sr,n..t..l

A Lancaster Ripper at Work--The Body
Disinembered and Buried In Sack
a Dentist Strongly Suspected.
LANCASTER, Feb. 23.-The body of a
human being so horribly mutilated that
its sex was at first difficult to determine,
but which was afterward found to be
that of a young woman, was found this
morning buried on the farm of Calvin
Hertz, just south of the village of
Ephrata. Head, legs and arms are cut
from the trunk, and all were tied in a
paper sack lined with cloth. The face
is so badly hacked that it is beyond
recognition or Identification.
Ten days ago Silas Hertz, a brother of
Calvin, borrowed shovel and digging
iron from Mr.. Shirk, who lives near by,
and was seen to dig hole in the field
adjoining Bethany church. Two days
later Shirk's daughter saw him carrying
a bundle stealthily along the fence
which leads from his brothers house to
the hole he had dug. He seemed to be
anxious no one should observe him.
That evening Shirk found the hole
filled in and covered over with brush
and leaves. The Shirks and their neigh
bors, who are unsuspecting Germans,
talked about this until it came to the
ears of Deputy CoAaRer II. G. Gemper-
ling. This morning he investigated the
matter, and unearthed the sack with its
sickening contents.
HE BURIED THE BODY.
He promptly notified District attorney
Reinehl, who directed that an inquest
be held and an investigation be made.
Coroner Gemperling at once returned to
Ephrata, which is 20 miles from here,
and impaneled jury. The Shirks posi-
lively identified Sllas Hertz as the man
who dug the hole and buried the body.
Silas Hertz, who buried the remains of
the unfortunate woman in such a
stealthy manner as to direct suspicion to
himself, is a somewhat eccentric man.
He is about So years old. He has led a
secluded life; his profession is dentistry,
and he has practiced it in st. Louis,
Philadelphia, and elsewhere. He re-
turned to his home near Ephrata at
frequent intervals and had been there
only a few days when his actions at
tracted the attention of the Shirks. He
is brother of DIR. Rine Hertz, a we'll
known practicing dentist of Ephrata,
and son of the,late Rev. Daniel Hertz,
HAoAiiAiNh AZ ShtAHNAA al MS va
There are a number of mysterious
in connection with the
case and the deliberations of the cor
oner's jury are not yet concluded.
Public opinion is divided as to whether
or not it is case of murder. His
friends put forward the statement that
it is case of attempted concealment of
body snatching. Owing to the high
social standing of the Hertzs the de-
of to-day have aroused great
and the result of the investiga-
ton is awaited anxiously.

KANSAS Cry, Mo, Feb. 23.-The
heavy snow which was followed by rain
has caused an overlooking of the Mis-
souri, river and resulted in a casualty in
which five lives were lost. Frederick
Warner, a fisherman, lived on the banks
of the river with his wife and three
children in small house. Saturday
night the combined rain and high water
caused the house TO be undermined, and
it was thrown into the river with the
whole family. The cries of the people
reused the neighbors and they rushed to
the spot, but were too late to be of as
sistance. The bodies of Mrs. Warner
and two of the children were recovered
about mile below the place where the
accident occurred, but Warner and the
youngest child were not found, and it is
supposed th,a they were swept further
down the stream.
