on His Laud.
RAvENNA, o., Aug. est was re-
ported to Prosecutor Phelps Wednesday
that Amos SAKE, wealthy farmer OF
Suffield, had shot two boys who were
hunting on his land. The story, as told
by William Yountz, their father, is as
follows:
On Monday evening i "a, who are
fifteen and eighteen years old, started
out hunting with a dog and lantern.
While crossing Saxe's land they were
fired upon without warning. They
managed to get to Saxe's house and
asked him to help them, and why he
did it.
He denied knowing anything about it,
and at first closed the door in their faces,
but afterwards got them some water and
went after doctor.
He then went to the boys home and
told tn ~ father that he had shot them.
They were taken home and an examina-
tion made. The older of the boys has
over one hundred shot in him and will
probably die The other is only slight
iy injured in the kidneys.
Saxes only explanation was that he
supposed they were after his peaches.
He is one of the wealthiest and most re-
spected farmers in Suffield Nothing
has been done about prosecuting the case

western bound passenger train on the
Western North Carolina railroad
jumped trestle near here Thursday
morning about o'clock. The train
train plunged III the darkness into a ra-
vine 200 feet in depth, dashing the cars
into splinters.
At least forty of the passengers were
killed outright. The wounded number
twenty Many of them will die.
Few, if any, of the passengers or crew
escaped unhurt. Relief was promptly
sent. Owing to the hour and the local

The war began more than six months
ago, Senor Lazcano explained, and the
insurgents were led by Colonel Canto,
who had been dismissed from the Chill
ian army. He had succeeded in secur-
ing the Chilian navy, and on this ac-
count had been able, until now, to
maintain his army. The Chilian gov
ernment had no navy, and because of
this disadvantage, had been unable to
hem in the insurgents.
Had we had ships" said Senor
Lazcano, tracing the positions of the
government and insurgent forces on a
rough map he had drawn so as to more
explicitly explain himself, eve would
have succeeded long ago."
He then traced the positions of the
army of the Chilian government, under
command of General Velarquez, the
present minister of war, and who dis
tinguished himself in the war between
Chill and Peru ten years ago. AT Co
quimbo, on the northern coast of Chill,
10000 government troops were sta
toned. At Santiago, $4,000 troops were
in garrison, while below at Conception,
10000 men were under, arms. To the
left of Conception, an army of 5000
men were rendezvoused. Between San
tiago and Quinteros, just above the
Aconcagua river, the insurgents, under
Colonel Canto, landed 10000 men.
Under protection from their ships the
insurgents moved down the coast to-
wards Valparaiso. At the Aconcagua
river the insurgents We're met by force
of 5000 men from the government army,
which had moved up from the left of
Conception. This force held the insur-
gents at bay for thirty hours. In the
meantime the government forces at
Santiago, Conception and Coquimbo
moved down, hemmed in the insurgents,
and compelled the unconditional sur
render.
As Senior Lazcano, in an off-hand
manner, described how the war was
brought to close, he naturally became
exuberant with joy, and as he hesitated
for words to express, in broken English,
his ideas, his wife, who was enraptured
with his warlike description, would fill
in the interstices.
Spreading the Glad Tidings.
The minister sent a number of tele-
grams Thursday morning, spreading far
and wide the glad tidings of the victory
of the Chilian government.

Miss Howard met Burvenderin a lonely

again refused his proffer of undying
love, when, maddened to desperation,
he drew revolver and snapped it in
her face twice, but the weapon refused
to do his murderous bidding, and he
threw it at her feet, and, drawing q
knife, stabbed the defenseless girl
twelve times, some wounds being
twelve inches long. He escaped across
the river, and is still at large. The girl
will probably recover, but will be
