SWIFT RETRlBUTlON.
Two Tramps Brutally Murder Michigan

Two Tramps Brutally Murder a Michigan
Couple And are Shot on Sight.
MONROE, Mich, Sept. John Wilk-
inson and his wife were brutally tor
tured and murdered by two tramps on
Sunday afternoon at their farm near
here. The motive of the tramps was
robbery. They found the couple alone
at home late in the afternoon and de-
manded from Wilkinson sum of money
which they had learned that he recent
ly received. Wilkinson refused, where
upon the tramps set upon the farmer
and his wife, and after beating them al
most to insensibility, tortured them in
the most cruel manner, in the hope of
extorting from them the hiding place of
their money. Failing in this, the
tramps became enraged and finished
their fiendish work by numbering the
couple. Retribution, however, was
quick, and justice of the most summary
nature was dealt out to the fends. A
10-year-old son of Farmer Wilkinson
who had been in an clubhouse, heard the
shrieks of his mother and gave the
alarm. The tramps fled, but were hot
ly pursued by posse of citizens who
came upon them near Maybee station.
They were not even given time to say
their prayers but were shot on sight by
the infuriated citizens. Their bodies
were completely riddled with bullets.

Daring Bank Robbery.

KANSAS CITY, Sept. IA daring and
successful bank robbery took place at
Hordara, small station on the Chicago
and Alton railroad, near Higginsville.
About 2:S0 p. m. two men rode up to the
American bank, dismounted, walked
into the bank, shut the door and locked
it before the cashier took notice of what
was going on. When the latter did take
notice, he saw two revolvers levelled at
his head. At the same time one of the
men commanded him to throw up his
hands. He obeyed. One of the men
kept him covered with a revolver while
the other went through the bank. He
secured only $500 in currency, repre-
senting the receipts Of the day. Having
obtained all the money in sight, the
robbers mounted their horses and fled.

visited hotels in this city is being
brought out here now, the result of tho
past seasons poor business. Principal
among the failures is that of the United

him. Congress Hall has gone up with
about $4,000 indebtedness, though it is
understood that the whole amount will
be assumed by the Coon Bros, the own
ers of the building, who leased it to the
present proprietor. Seven or eight
other large houses are reported as hav-
ing failed but particulars cannot be OBJ

A STRIKE DECL AIRED.

Ten Thousand People Thrown Out Of Em.

PITTsBURG, Sept. IA strike of win
dow glass workers, which will throw
fully 10000 people out of employment
has been officially declared. It will be
continued at least seven weeks and if
neither side makes concessions, will con.
tinue longer. A meeting of the sub.
committees appointed to settle the wage
differences was held during the after
noon. The manufacturers withdrew
the demand for reduction, while tho
workers declined to recede from their
demand for an advance. No settlements
can now be had for seven weeks as that
time must elapse before the association
can consider the matter.

Simply to Meet the Steamer,
MADE A DISCOVERY.

A State of fairs Which Will Delay Con.
struction of Several Public Buildings.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.-The first comp
troller of the treasury has discovered
mares nest. He finds clause in the
law which induces the belief in his mind
that the sites for public buildings can
not be accepted by the government until
various st'.te legislatures pass laws CIV
ing exclusive jurisdiction to the United
States. In consequence of this discovery
the supervising architect is obliged to
suspend all operations for Mankato,
Sioux Falls, Fargo, Sioux City, Fort
Dodge and all other public buildings.
General Nettleton is expected during the
day and he will go in person to the at
torney general to have the skein un-
raveled with an opinion which will
cover all such cases in the future. Mean
time, until the promulgation of that
opinion, our interested friends in the
Northwest must wait little longer for
their buildings.

city. George Durneau, the foreman Of
the farm, was killed. Nathaies Robin
son, young man from the West, who
was recently discharged from General
Beale's employe, came back to see about

BALMAcEDA's SUCCESSOR.

Congressionalists May Make Don Angus
IT. tin Edwards President of Chilli.
LONDON, Sept. lit is reported here
on the strength of statements made by
the Congressional agents in Paris and
London that Don Augustin Edwards
will be the next president of Chill. He
Is one of the wealthiest, if not the
wealthiest, of Chiians, and in the early
period of the insurrection he supplied
funds lavishly for the support of the
revolutionary cause. He has many
friends in the higher class in England
and on the continent, and is largely in
terested in the nitrate trade. He has =
splendid farm in Chill, which, up to the
time of the war, was stocked with the
best blooded cattle that money could OBJ
tain in Europe. These cattle, during
the war, were slaughtered for food for
Balmaceda's troops, and the property of
Edwards both in the city end country
was laid waste. He narrowly escaped
with his own life. The Congressional
lists have always looked to him as their
leading representative, although he has
not taken an active personal part in
naval or military affairs. The Con-
gressionalists have, within the few days,
brought strong pressure to bear on the
British foreign Office to secure British
influence against the transfer to Balma-
ceda of the silver shipped from Valpa-
raiso in a British war vessel. There is
very little likelihood that the treasure
will be turned over to Balmaceda.

An Indiana Wreck.

EVANSVILLE. Ind, Sept. IA wreck
occurred ON the Cannelton branch of the
Air Line railroad about II a. M, in
which four lives were lost, thirteen bad
ly hurt and eighteen slightly injured.
The Hange of one of the forward trucks
of the engine broke while the train was
running at the rate of thirty miles an
hour The train at the time was on q
trestle two miles from Troy, Ind. The
engine passed over the trestle and
plunged down the embankment. The
train was a mixed one, the passenger
coach being next to the engine. The
coach followed the engine into the ditch
and rolled over on top of it. It was oc-
cupied by about thirty people. The
steam pipes gave way and the scalding
steam entered the coach. Many of the
passengers were women and children.
Their screams were appalling. AS soon
as those who were slightly Injured ex-
tricated themselves, they began the
work of rescue. All were gotten out but
none escaped injury. Many were so
badly burned that
Their Flesh Was Cooked
in places until it came off. Barbara
Neimeyer, 1s years, daughter of a
wealthy farmer If Perry county, was
taken out dead, having been terribly
scalded. Mrs. Canaough, of Terry, Ind. ,
was terribly burned and will die. Her
little 10-year-old son was taken from the
wrecked coach and died before reaching
home. Emma Schue, 10 years, died
after being taken out, from her terrible
burns. Jacob App, engineer, and Fire
man John Tolle, went down with the
wreck. Both are scalded but not fatally,
Conductor James Gorden is dangerously
hurt, having number of ribs broken.
The scene Of the wreck is isolated and
the information is meagre. Only one
telegraph wire reaches it and that has
been down for hours. It is impossible
to learn the names of the injured. A
physician at the wreck said that the
death list would probably reach ten or
twelve. II"

riotous mob of .laborers, occupied with
nothing better than mischief, united

VALPARAISO, Sept. 2. - A report
reached this city from Santiago that
Balmaceda had been killed in the noun
tains while trying to make his escape.
Exciting news is being brought from the
south by the straits steamer which came
up from Talcahuano. The two regi-
ments of government troops which were
taken to that port recently from Co.
quimbo by the transport Imperials, re-
volted when they heard of the defeat of
the Balmacedists at Blacilla last Friday.
They shot to death all their officers and
disbanded. Nearly four hundred coal
miners joined them and together they
have practically taken possession of the
town of Corona on the coast, about
twenty-five miles south of Conception.
All sorts of excesses have been COM
mitted by them. Houses and stores
have been sacked and burned. The
slightest protest against this action
Ia Met by Rifle Shots.
Women have been abused and subjected
to brutalities of the most revolving char
acter. In fact, mob rule in it's worst
form prevails. Some outrages have
been committed also in Conception and
Talcahuano, but the force at the disposal
of the authorities there has been suffic-
lent to save them from the fate which
has overtaken the 5000 people of Cor
onna. AS soon as the news was re-
ceived here the German warship Sophie
and the British gunboat Daphns were
ordered to 60 at once to Corona and
protect the interest of foreign residents.
The government officials here also have
taken steps to beat the mob into sub
lection.

A NEW INDUSTRY,
An Iowa Man Has Factory for Making

An Iowa Man Has Factory for Making
Wolf Scalps.
LIE MARS, a., Sept. IA manufac-
ture of wolf scalps has been unearthed
in this county, and several parties are
now under arrest charged with thus OBJ
tanning money by false pretenses. They
were possessed of mould or block upon
which the scalp was pressed and formed
and afterwards the ears deftly sewed on
with silk. The scalps were then taken
before some country justice by whom
the certificate was issued, the same be-
ing virtually an order for the bounty
upon the county auditor. One man has
drawn over $500 bounty during the past
year, which would mean the killing of
over $50 wolves, and there has not been
that many slain in the county in the last
ten years.

PATROLLING THE TOWN,

Armed Guards Walking the Streets Of
Georgetown, to Prevent Incendiarism.
GEORGETOWN, KY, Sept. 1.-Guards
to the number of 200, armed to the
teeth, are patrolling the streets in
squads. A company of home guards
will be organized to protect the town
against any further incendiary acts on
the part Of the negroes. It is believed
that no more incendiary fires will be
started, but at the same time it is
thought best to be on the safe side and
armed vigilance will not for the present
be suffered to relax. The feeling against
the negroes is very bitter.

ENGLAND WILL PROTEST

Against the Dardanelles Being Used a.
Passage for Russian War Ships.
LONDON, Sept. 2.-The question of the
Dardanelles becoming a passage way for
Russian war ships to the Mediterranean
just now exceeds in interest even the
war in Chill. Well authenticated rumor
says that the foreign ofSe will not
stand by and see the Med1grranean in
vaded by Russian fleet 4nder the guide
Of volunteer transports or otherwise.
The main question seems to be whether
England will have to protest alone, or
be sustained in such course by the
powers of the triple alliance. No doubt
is entertaipsaaa that Russia has been en-
couraged to her present aggressive at
titude by an understanding with France
and feels safe with France as friend
against any unsupported action on the
part of Great Britain. The situation is
becoming very grave, and is so regarded
both in Berlin and London. Lord Sails
bury, it is reported, will shorten his va
cation in order to deal with the problem,
which is greatly complicated by the un-
precedented coldness
Toward the British Government.
A Constantinople dispatch says that the
French and Russian ambassadors have
been DINING into the sultan's ears the
fact that with all England's charges
against Russia, of intended aggrandize-
ment at the expense of Turkey, the only
great power that has actually taken pos
session of any important part of the sui
tan's dominion is England herself, and
England before protesting friendship for
Turkey ought to give up Egypt if not
also Cyprus, and the sultan is therefore
for the time being, prejudiced against
England on account of Egypt, although
also upholding Bulgaria against the
Russian Vaccinations. It is remem-
bered that the Crimean war was pre-
ceded by England's rejection of Rus
sian proposal that England should take
Egypt and allow Russia to have Con-
stantinople, and there is an uneasy feel
ing that Russia will fight again rather
than permit England to hold Egypt
without compensation to Russia.

Important Decision Rendered.

PIERRE, S. D., Sept. 1.-The land Of
ice has redered an important decision in
a contest case for valuable quarter
section of land opposite Pierre. The de-
cision was in favor of homesteader
named Jennings and against the Allison
Town Site company. The town site
company had plated the land and sold
lots to numerous parties all over the
country at from $40 to 800 per lot, and
guaranteed the title. The land in con-
troversy is quite valuable, as it is the
only point in this vicinity for a railroad
bridge to be built across the Missouri
river

says; Work on the Valley City branch
of the 500, in North Dakota, is being
pushed quietly and swiftly. Other de-
velopments in connection with that line
indicate move of considerable impor-
tance in railroad and commercial circles.
The branch mentioned leaves the main
line Of the Western division of the 500
at Hankinson. The grade is completed
to Valley City, distance of ninety
miles. The tracklayers have now passed
the first crossing of the sheyenne river,
distance of forty miles from Hankin-
son. But, if well founded reports are
correct, Valley City will not long re-
main the terminus of the road. It is
said that the contract for 15O miles of
grading narth from Valley City
has been already let, or soon
will be and that work
will begin at once and be pushed with
all possible speed, in order to get it COM
pleted before the ground freezes. It is
possible that a considerable stretch of
track will be laid north of Valley City
before the snow flies. It is said that it is
the Canadian Pacific interest that it is
behind this extension Of the 500. The
design is to build the line through to
the boundary, where it will be met by a
branch of the Landian Pacific, which
will leave the main line at or near Re-
gina. This will give the 500 new con-
nection with the Canadian Pacific, MAX
ing another route from St. Paul and
Minneapolis to the Pacific coast
