As soon, however, as the circumstances became known, sympathy was excited in behalf of the unfortunate captives, and through the benevolent efforts of the monks of that city, many of them were rescued from slavery, and found their way back to their native forests. Among them is said to have been chief named Tisquantum, or as more commonly written, Squanto, who reached London, where he was received into the family of Mir. John Henry Corn hill, a merchant of the Newfoundland company, and sent out to that island hay ing learned to speak English. There he was noticed by Captain Mason, the gover- nor of the colony, with whom he remained until the arrival of Dermer, when he re- turned with him to England.
 The outrage of Hunt had excited great mistrust of Europeans among the natives of New England and it occurred to Derme1 that the services of Squanto might be proftably employed in removing the prejudice from the minds of his country men. He wrote to this effect to the Ply mouth company, who at once entered into
 his views, and the following season dis
 patched Captain Rocraft to meet him in New England. But Dermer had in the
 meantime sailed for England, taking Squanto with him, and the company. de. sirous of availing themselves of this aid in
 consolidating the Indians, fitted out another ship for fishing voyage, in which they sent him and Squanto to New Enpland with the hope of their meeting Rocraft But on their arrival at Monhegan, moi finding him (Rocraft), Dermer took a pin

TERROR In ROME.
Moments Of Dismay Throughout
the Entire City,
Caused BY the Explosion OF Tons Of
Powder-Several Killed and a
Large Number wounded.

About o'clock Thursday morning a
tremendous explosion shook Rome to
its foundations, spreading terror and
dismay on all sides. The people rushed
from their home into the streets, houses
rocked, pictures fell from the walls,
thousands of panes of glass were
broken everywhere, croclSery was
shattered, furniture was overturned,
chimneys crashed down upon the
roofs, and, in some instances, toppled
over into the street below. The cupola
of the houses of parliament, immedi-
ately after the explosion, shook violent
ly, and collapsed with crash, which
added still further to the feeling of
horror which has spread through Rome
The general opinion was that Rome had
been visited by an earthquake shock,
and that second shock might reduce
the city to ruins. They fell upon their
knees and prayed aloud Finally,
when something like order had been
restored, the real cause of the explosion
became known. twas discovered that
the immense powder magazine at Pozze
Pantaleo, four kilometers from Rome,
had exploded, and that it had caused
enormous damage. The shock which
caused Rome to tremble did not spare
the vatican. That venerated pile shook
with the rest of the Roman buildings
when the force of the explosion was
felt, and several of the famous histor-
ical stained-glass windows of the old
buildings were shattered. The windows
in the ancient Raphael chambers and
the stained glass in the royal staircase,
presented to Pope Plus TX. by the king
of Bavaria, were also seriously injured.
Signor Nicotera, minister of the inter-
ior, stated in the chamber of deputies
Thursday that forty-eight persons
were injured at the scene Of the explo-
sion, and that about two hundred per-
sons in Rome were slightly hurt.
The minister of war said that there
were 265 tons of powder in the
magazine, but that none of the
new explosive, balestite, was
stored there. 1t is surmised
that the explosion resulted from
slow combustion of the powder. King
Humbert received an ovation on visit
ing the hospitals where the injured are
being cared for. Evening-It is now
learned that seven lives were lost The
official report says that the explosion
was purely accidental King Humbert,
who was heartily cheered whenever his
presence became known to the populace
and soldiery, used his own carriage to
convey wounded people to the hospital.

MAD WITH RAGE.

A Desperate Woman Faces Death In n
Hand-to-Hand Encounter with Sheriff.
Sheriff Mccormick, of Fayette coun-
ty, Pa, had desperate battle Thurs
day morning at the Monarch coke
works, of the Fricl1 Co. The sheriff
and deputies had made twelve evictions
when the sheriff was attacked by a
hungarian woman named Glasco.
She fired at him with revolver several
times, wounding him in the leg. He clos
ed with her, and after desperate strug-
gle he took the weapon away from her.
The woman became infuriated and she
acted like mad person. She caught
up an AK and attacked the sheriff, cut
ting him seriously on the feet. Fear
ing a fatal termination of the encounter
the sheriff then shot the woman,
wounding her in several places, inflict-
ing, perhaps, fatal injuries. AS soon as
the woman fell a Hungarian caught up
another ak and tried to finish the sher-
iff with it. The sheriff shot the man in
the mouth, wounding him severely.
He was then attacked by other Hunga-
rians, but was rescued by his deputies
after he had shot another Slav in the
thigh. The Glasco woman, after b1ing
wounded, forced her way into house
where an eviction was in progress and
renewed her attack, this time on the
sheriff's deputies. She was knocked
down with club. One other man was
shot five times by the deputies, but was
not fatally hurt. Company G came to
the aid of the sheriff, and the dis
turbance ceased.

THE PARCEL POST.

A Part of a Carriage Sent Through the
Mails-The System Developing Rapidly.
Few people are aware that under the
parcel post treaty with Mexico, jana
lea, Barbados, the Bahamas, British
Honduras, the Sandwich Islands, the
Leeward Islands, Colombia, Costa
Rica, Salvador and the Danish
West India Islands unsealed packages,
not exceeding eleven pounds in weight
and three feet six inches in length,
may be sent in the mails for twelve
cents pound. Under this law q sys-
tenn of international commerce is de-
veloping rapidly, especially with Mex
leo. A few days ago the upper half
of carriage, divided into twelve sep
arate packages, was sent from st. Louis
to Mexico. Over thousand pounds
of merchandise were transmitted by
parcel post during the month of March,
being four times the volume of such
business for January. All the security
extended by the government to the
regular mails is given to the parcel post
system, and packages are delivered
where any of the governments above
mentioned have post offices, either by
rail, coach, horse or foot. This system
is only about two years old, and seems
to have been developed just in season to
provide for the large increase of COM
mercial facilities resulting from reci-
procity and postal subsidy.

RoMFs SHAKE.

Much Irreparable Damage the Result
Many Ancient and Valuable Relics Do-
stroyed.
The explosion Of 265 tons of gunpow-
der Thursday in the powder magazine
at Pozze Pantaleo, near Rome, which
caused serious damage and loss of life,
created great alarm at the vatican. ALI
the windows of the Pope's library
were broken and number of precious
relics were destroyed. In addition
many valuable panes of colored glass
in the principal windows of ST. Peter
Basilica were smashed to pieces.
The handsome stained-glass win
dow over the chair of St. Peter
was also broken. At st.
Paul Church all the stained-glass
windows were damaged. In fact the
damage done at this church was so
to the public while the debris is being
cleared away and the work of temporary
repair inaugurated. Much of the de-
struction wrought by the explosion is
irreparable, as the valuable works of
art which have been destroyed can
not be replaced. Many of the
stained-glass windows which have
been shattered are the works of cele.
brated artists who hourished hundreds
of years ago, and, though, in some
cases, the windows can be replaced, in
many other cases their historical and
artistic value is destroyed forever.
Many most valuable relics in the mon
astery of st. Paul have also succumbed
to the force of the explosion. AS al
ready stated, some time must elapse
before the full amount of the dam
age will be known, as it will re-
quire personal visit to and inspec-
ton of tens of thousands of artistic
relics before the full story of the dis
aster can be recounted 1t now trans
pires that the pope had just concluded
the celebration of low mass and was
engaged in prayer when the explosion
shook the Vatican building So severe
was the shock that his holiness tottered
and would have fallen had not one of
the servants in attendance sprang for
ward and caught the venerable prelate
in his arms. His holiness has now re-
covered from the shock he experienced
through the explosion.

BATTLE WITH STRIKERS.

Deputy sherlils Driven on, After MaIslne
Evictlons-A Hungarian Girl Killed and
Number on Both sides Injured.
Threats have been turned to violence,
and violence has again caused death in
the Pennsylvania coke regions, with the
result that Company @ has been called
TO the scene of the tragedy, and all is in
ferment. The Fayette county officers
went to Adelaide Wednesday morning,
where they made two evictions,
after a great deal of trouble
and opposition. They were then
overpowered by the strikers,
and driven away. Reinforced by Sheriff
Mccormick and large force, the depu-
ties returned, when a pitched battle
took place between the sheriff's posse
and about 800 Hungarians, men and
women, in which Hungarian girl was
killed and others injured, among whom
are several deputies. The battle oc-
Cured about o'clock Wednesday after
noon, while the members of Company
@ were lunching down at the boiler
house. The deputies were trying to
keep the Hungarians from carrying
back the household goods which had
been thrown out of the houses in the
forenoon. A big, strong Hungarian was
fighting with the deputies, when Sheriff
Mccormick started to assist them.
The Hungarian saw him coming
and tried to shoot. The girl who was
killed was a sweetheart of the big Hun
garian, and was fighting for him
with the ferocity of a young lioness.
The deputies say the pistol went off in
the hands of the Hun and killed his
sweetheart If it had not been for the
arrival of Company G at that moment
every deputy would doubtless have
been injured, if not killed. Sheriff Nc
Cormick was shot through the thumb
by the bullet that killed the girl.
