MURDER AND PIlLAGE.
Terrible State of Affairs in q CITY in
Chilli

IoUIN1oUE, April 15.-What is occurring
in this unfortunate port is something un-
heard Of and it leads one to believe that
no civilized beings live here. Vagabonds
are robbing plundering, numbering, vo-
lating women and committing all classes of
atrocities, while iDcendaries are also en-
gagged in their operations OF destruction and
pi4lage.
The triumph Of the rebels on the 18th was
decisive, and Balmsceda's troops were
knocked to pieces. After losing all their
cannon, rifles and ammunition, only few
officers and soldiers escaped. The people,
who are without work, are suffering fear
fully, and hundreds of them have
abandoned the nitrate works, only carrying
bottles OF water, and accom- panied bv their
families, have YEARLY trudged across the
desert down to Iquique on the coast. The
scene is OF nature which hardly finds an
equal in the history of war and revolt and
IS due to the nature or the country and the
class of work there carried on. Many have
died on the way to Iquique and their
bones will mark LOT many day the roads
TO the now abandoned nitrate producing
factories,

preparing voluminous report for Secre-

II have just returned from OMAHA" said
he, and l can promise you a sensation in
ten days. l have been making 1nvestiga-
tons there and have evidence that the con-
tract alien labor law has been and is being
grossly violated. Certain large concerns
there that employ a large number of men
have been importing alien labor in direct
defiance of the law. It will be a big sur
prise, as the concerns implicated are known
all over the world and have a reputation
for honesty that has been unquestioned.
There are also several other cities where in

G. G. HANNAH DEAD.
DYMISR OF A WELL-KNOwN AND REPRESENT
ALIVE CITIZEN.
BE Breaks Down Under the Strain Of Business
Cares-A Consistent Christian and
an Ardent Democrat

George G. Hannah died last night
about half past eleven o'clock, at his
home on South Chapline street, after a
lingering illness.
Deceased possessed weak constitu-
tion and his health was not good at best.
For the past few years he has been slow
ly giving way under the strain of bust
ness cares, gradually growing worse.
Last fall, acting upon the advice OF
his physicians he went to Boston, where
he placed himself under the care of a
noted physician. When he returned he
was not benefited in health. For the
past four months he has been confined
to his bed, and although his friends
hoped for his ultimate recovery, his ply
sicians and those placed in position TO
know. realized that the end was inevita-
BILE, it being a question Of but short
time. He died peacefully last night,
with all the members OF the family by
his bedside.
Mr.. Hannah was born in New York
State in 1912, and consequently was 40
years of age at the time Of his death.
His early years were passed In his native
State and in Massachusetts. He came
to Wheeling in March, 1878, and since
that time has always been prominently
identified with the business interests Of
the city. He accepted position as
bookkeeper for the Norway Tack Com
pany, and has been connected with that
concern ever since. When the company
was recognized, Mr.. Hannah became a
stakeholder and Secretary. On account
of his sterling integrity of character
and business ability, he has been asso-
cated with great many of the prom
inent industrial enterprises OF this city.
He was President of the Manchester
Coal Company, and also the Owl Lam
tern Company, and member of the
Board of Directors of the Belmont and
Etna mills. He has been connected
with several building associations, and
at the time of his death was Secretary
of the Globe.
Mr.. Hannah was married to Miss Ly-
dia A. Wheeler, of Sandwich, Mass,
and had five children, all of whom are
still living. In politics he was an
ardent Democrat, and took an active
and intense interest in political cam
paigns. He was not an oflice-seeker,
however, and although his party has
several times desired to honor him with
responsible and lucrative positions,
he has repeatedly declined. He
took a great interest in educational
matters, representing Centre District
in the Board of Education, and he was
generally recognized as one of the most
valuable members of that body. His
death is doubly sad, coming at period
of life when he was in his prime. He
was a consistent Christian, and an ac-
tive member OF the Second Presby
terrain Church. In his death his family
loses kind and loving husband and
father, and the community a represent
alive citizen.
