as those ghastly vehicles convey their
sickening loads to the common trenches
dug for their reception. The streets
everywhere are torn up, washed out and
filed with all kinds of Wreckage. Human
remains, stray limbs and headless
trunks are seen protrudIng from heaps
of mud covered wreckage. The depth
OF the flood at Consuegra can be gauged
from the fact that the water rose eight
cen feet in the church of st. John the
Baptist. An estimate of the damage to
property in and about Consuegra places
the loss at S2,500,000. The suryiv-
ors of the disaster give vague
and confused accounts. They say,
however, that, though the river
was noticed to be rising rapidly,
no serious apprehension was felt until
the waters seemed to make sudden
rush forward, threatening to over
whelm, and eventually overw helming
everything. Then came wild race for
life. Many climbed upon the roofs of
the houses, hoping to escape, but the
buildings gave way beneath them. The
majority of the dead have been buried.
Twenty seven dead bodies have been
found in one dwelling house.

CANADA'S PRIME MINISTER.

He Dares His Rivals to Investigate Him.
Premier Nfercier, of Canada, has
thrown the gauntlet to Lieut. Gov. An
giers, and deties him 10 appoint royal
commission to inquire into the Bale des
Chaleurs doodle" charges. Mercier's s
personal organ, La Justice, says that a
civil war would result before the Lieu
tenant Governor would be permitted
to take any high-handed proceedings.
The French Conservatives are advising
Anglers to dissolve the legislature, and
most yirulent newspaper war is going
on between the opposing factions. Mer-
cier has sent letter to the lieutenant
governor stating that he would not al
low an autocrat to override him and that
he was responsible to the people alone
for his ,onduct.
The letter predicts that IN a conflict
between Il totterlug monarchy and the
flag of an uncompromising democracy
the final victory will not rest with the
former. The position taken by MERCER
is that he is prime minister by popular
will and can defeat twenty governors
who will hold their power from source
not in keeping with modern ideas.

at Santiago.

VALPARAISO. Chill, Sept. l9.-Ex-
President Balmaceda is dead. lie shot
himself yesterday in his room Mt the
Argentine legation at Santiago. Failing
to escape from the country, he probably
realized that his capture could not long
he delayed, and he knew that meant
death at the hands of the Congression
alists. He evidently preferred to die
by his own hand rather than bv those
of a public eXecutioner. Thus closes
the life of the president and dictator
who risked everything for the power
and wealth which he sought and which
would have been his if the war had
terminated as he hoped and expected.
The Junta was notified, and a com
mittec Immediately went to the house
and viewed the body. As the news
spread about Santiago great crowds of
people gathered around the Argentine
legation They cheered, hooted, and
went into a frenzy over the death of
their chief enemy. Above all the dis
cordant shouts were heard cries CON
graduating the unfortunate Balmaceda
that in taking his own life he had es-
capped worse fate.
Balmaceda's body has been removed
to the general cemetery. 1t was accom-
panied by the members of the family
and friends. The widow of the dead
ex- President was informed of his tragic
death by her brother, Domingo Zorro.
1t is the general belief that Balma-
cedas death will hasten, in great de

HOW 1T WAS DONE.
4 Loudon Bank Robbed of Nearly q
Million.

Million.
Lon on, Sept. 2l.-The banking world
Of this city has Just been startled by the
announcement that an important bank
robbery has taken place in the city.
The institution that has suffered is the
London and Westminster Bank l-lmlt-
ed, No. Al Lathhury, +. c., an inn
portant establishment having over
fifteen branch houses IN this city. The
money stolen, it would appear, con-
sisted of large parcel of bills remitted
from the country banks to the London
and Westminster bank. The thief
or thieves must have cleverly
watched for the proper oppor-
tunity to accomplish the robbery
and to have gained access to an
apartment near the main entrance to
the bank. This apartment was easy of
access from the street and the parcel of
bills is supposed to have been stolen
while the bank officials were engaged
in another apartment, in going over
the accounts of last weeks settle
ment. Both William Astle, the town
manager OF the bank, and II. i. Bill
inghurst, the country manager, de-
cllned to make any statement for publ
cation as to the actual loss incurred,
but 1t is currently reported that
the amount stolen is not less than $3.50,
0Oo and that it may amount to as much
as 81 10000. The bank officers, the
city police authorities and the criminal
Investigation department of Scotland
Yard are putting forth the utmost exer-
tons in order to effect the capture of the
thieves. Notice of the robbery has been
sent to the police centers throughout
the British Isles and on the
continent, and the sailing of
every passenger vessel is being watched.
Notice has also been sent to all the
banks upon which the bills were drawn,
but the police theory is that no att, mpt
will be made to change the bills in this
country, but that the thieves will have
recourse to the continent, where the
presence of SO many wealthy travellers
from the nited States make such trans
actlnus GaSlnr thau In this cnuuirN.

Door Battered Down.
DARLINGTON, Wis, Sept. 2l.-At noon
to-day Anton Sieboldt, the murderer
of James Neigan, was taken from iai
at this place by mob and hanged
Since the day the crime was COM
mitted there have been threats of mob
law, but the authorities probably really
apprehended no attack on the Jail. This
morning, however, people began
to arrive III the city by two and threes
and halfdozens, until crowd of fully
200 excited persons were in the village.
As the hour of y approached the
county Jail was surrounded by the mob.
1t was then evident to the Jail officials
that the mob was in earnes,. Cries of
give us the keys" "bring out the pris-
oner," ''open the door" "batter down
the DOORS" etc, were raised on every
hand.
The prisoner, who was confined in
one of the strongest iron-bound cells in
the Jail, heard the cries and shouts of
the mob and trembled and moaned
and shrieked alternately.
! The demands for the keys were ig-
nored by the sheriff and his deputies.
The doors were locked and protected
by heavy bars.
| When the mob saw that the doors of
the Jail would not be thrown open they
procured axes and sledges and attacked
the panels of oak and maple.
The doors cracked and bent under
the shower of blows, but held firm for
u moment. Then the blows fell thicker
ard faster. A cracking and splinte ring
was followed by a crash, and the mob
was in the Jail.
Other barriers gave way one after an
other. The sheriff and the TAILOR at
tempted to protect the prisoner, but
were overpowered in n instant and dis
the doomed man was covering rushed
the men who had determined to avenge
Meighan's murder. The iron bars gave
way like pipe stems.
A rope was in hand and a moose was
put around the mans neck.
Out of the Jail hurried the shouting
throng, hustling the prisoner through
the corridor and out into the court
house square.
There was a halt but for on instant;
then the rope was over the limb and
half hundred willing hands were jerk
ing the struggling form of the murderer
upward.
| Hardly had the body Of the man been
strung up when silence fell over
the crowd that had assembled. 1t
seemed as if until that moment the
mob did not realize what il was doing;
but when the mans life had gone out
there came the knowledge o: their aw
full deed.
The lynchers quickly dispersed. But
in their places came hundreds to see
the body of the murderer and inspect
the Jail and the scene of the hanging.
