BIG DIAMOND ROBBERY.
A Jeweler Relieved of Eight thousand
DnIlnrn Mnrth of His Snnrklars.

A Jeweler Relieved of Eight Thousand
Dollars Worth of His Sparklers.
NASHVILLE, July Cone Of the bold
est diamond robberies committed in this
city in number of years was perpe-
trated at noon Friday at e. Wiggers'
jewelry store, 30S Union street. A
young man of medium size. heavy built,
dark moustache, entered the store and
asked to be shown some silverware.
Mr.. Wiggers proceeded to the rear of
the store where the silver case is kept,
and proceeded to show his goods to the
customer.
The young man seemed to he hard to
suit, and after replacing the silverware
Mr.. Wiggers walked to the front of the
store, and upon going behind the coun-
ter was startled to find one of his
jewelry trays, in which the jewels are
kept, in the show case lying under the
counter. Upon examination of the case,
it was found that the tray was the one
in which the diamonds were displayed,
and that it was empty, the entire lot,
valued at $1,000, being gone. The ac-
cepted theory is that the young man
who wanted to see the silverware was
pal of the one who committed the
robbery, and that it was prearranged to
engage Mr. Wiggers' attention while the
other committed the theft. There is as
yet no clew TO the robbers.

THE WATER NOT.
The Lake in the Desert Likely to Soon
BE Filled.


BE Filled.
Los ANGELES, Cal, July Q. - The
desert lake at Salton caused surprise
Thursday by the fact that the water re-
ceded in the morning, but commenced
to rise again, showing that the limit has
not been reached. A dispatch from
Salton said:
If the water comes from the Colorado
river there must now be enough be-
tween here and the river to nearly fill
the basin, and most likely reach the
main line of the Southern Pacific. ALI
the fat part of the basin is now covered
with water, and the depth will increase
much faster. Section men are making
efforts to save the railroad spur, but the
water is very hot, and it is feared the
men cannot endure it. The water is
warmest at the bottom.
Two outfits were started out by sup
erintendent Muir, of the Southern Pa
cifc, one from Salton and the other
from Obilby. Both parties started in
wagons, with supply of water and
provisions, and they will make an effort
to locate the exact spot where the water
comes through the sand hills, from the
Colorado river or the New river, as the
case may be. The Colorado river is al
most as high as it was last winter, on ac-
count of melting snow in the mountains.
The operator at Salton telegraphed
that the water was rising very slowly,
but there was no danger of its reaching
the main track, as, at the present rate,
it will take six months to do so, and
long before that time it is believed that
the desert will be dry from evaporation.

SCENES AT THE WRECK.
Unavailing Efforts to Save Some of the
IJured-Driyen Back by Fire,

Unavailing Efforts to Save Some of the
Intured-Driyen Back by Fire.
The scenes at the wreck were heart
rending. A nurse girl, whose name is
unknown, and a babe about year old,
which she was caring for, were burned
to death before the very eyes of the hor-
ror-stricken spectators. Heroic efforts
were made to save them, but they were
apparently bound down by the broken
timbers of the car The poor girl pleaded
piteously for somebody, in mercy, to kill
her. The flames almost enveloped the
car and repeatedly drove the rescuers
away. Finally the workers were COM
PEELED to fall back and abandon the girl
to her fate. This was but one of the
awful scenes being enacted.
When the great freight locomotive
plowed through the rear coach it man
gled into unrecognizable masses of flesh
and bones several of the passengers.
There deaths, horrible though they
were, We're easy compared to that Of
some of their friends. When the loco
motive had come to o standstill five
forms were seen to be pinioned between
the head of the boiler and the torn and
twisted timbers of the coach. Two
were undoubtedly dead or unconscious,
but the other three weakly swayed their
bodies and waved their hands in an
agonizing endeavor to free themselves
from their frightful positions. Quickly
the debris of the coach caught fire and
in few minutes the forms of the poor
fellows We're enveloped in smoke and
fire.

IT IS MARKED.
The Exact Spot Upon Which
Columbus First Landed
Found and Marked by an APP
propriate Memorial.

The Chicago Herald's Exposition Sue
Cessful-PrOven Beyond Any Reasonable
Shadow of Doubt That San Salvador,
Which Has Always Been Accepted as
the First Landing Place, Was Incorrect.
CHICAGO, July Dispatches received
from the Chicago Herald's expedition in
search of the landing place on this con-
tinent of Christopher Columbus, an
nounce that the spot ON which the new
world was born to civilization has at
last been found and marked by an APP
pirate and enduring memorial.
This spot is Watling's Island, BAHIA
mas, and to prove that it was the San
Salvador of Columbus, it is only neces-
sary to look closely into the record left
by Columbus himself and compare it
with the island as it exists today.
A careful comparison of the descrip-
tion of San Salvador rs given by Colum-
bus himself, with Waiting Island as it
was found by The Herald expedition,
leaves no doSbt that Waiting Island was
the place on which Christopher Column
bus landed in the early morning Of Fri
day, Oct. 10, 1902 Accordingly, ON
June 10, The Herald's monument wac
erected upon the picturesque headisa.::.a
which forms the southern shore of Dis
covery bay.
The site chosen was an admirable one
in every particular. 1t is only 200 yards
from the very sand beach on which Co
lulmbus landed and commands fine
view not only of Discovery bay, but Of
all the coast north and south. Under
the monument was placed Q bundle of
newspapers, containing copies of the
principal journals of the United States,
and portraits of many leading editors,
making the monument more distinctive
ly than ever an American newspaper
Offering to the memory of the great dis
coverer.
In the surmounting shaft were placed
a number of stones which friends had
forwarded from Chicago, the shaft itself
being capped with block Of granite
from The New Herald building.
At o'clock, June 10, the gun OF the
Nassau fired salute, Governor Naiin,
of Watling's Island drew the stars and
stripes from the shaft of the monument
and hoisted them to the top of the flag
staff, and amid the cheers of the assem-
bled crowd Of citizens, sailors and visi-
tors, The Chicago Herald's monument to
Christopher Columbus was dedicated to
the memory of the great discoverer,

EVANS-ADAMS HOMICIDE.
Danger of a Vendetta Taking Possession
of an Indiana Town.

Danger of a Vendetta Taking Possession
of an Indiana Town.
GREENCAsTLE, Ind, July 6.-The vii
lage of Roachdale, where the Evans
Adams homicide of the 3lst of April oc-
Cured, is again stirred up by events
that have followed in its train. Soon
after the killing of Adams his widow
broke up housekeeping and took up her
abode at hotel in the village, fearing
assassination if she remained alone. 1t
is learned that she has disappeared from
the hotel, and no one knows where she
has gone.
Such is the state of public feeling in
the village, as well as at Groveland,
where the Evans family resides, that it
is believed by many that the sons of
Evans were instrumental in her disap-
pearance. Mysterious shootings and
house-burnings have been laid at the
door of the Evanses, and there is danger
of vendetta taking the town into its
own hands and committing further
deeds of violence.

INQUEST BEGUN
To Place the Responsibility of
the Rayenna Horror.
Was. It the Conductor and Brake
man of the ExpreSsP
Evidence Seem to Point in That
Direction.

Nine witnesses ON the Stand, Including a
Tramp Who Was on the Rear Platform
Before the ColIision-He Saw 1t All
and Probably Knows More About the
Accident Than Any other Living Man.
RAvENNA, o., July 6.-The coroner's
inquest was held Friday afternoon and
j. r. Hindbach, middle brakeman on
the freight; H. l.. Woodwork, fagman
on the same train; John Poppenhaus,
fireman, and w. H. Rowley. brakeman,
were placed upon the stand. Their
statements corroborated to those given
early in the day in all essential details.
They laid the blame for everything upon
the brakemen and conductor of the ex-
press, and declared that they were un-
able to see the lights held by the brake
men or those placed upon the rear
coaches until within a few rods of the
train. They testified that the night was
nasty one, and said that q mist was
falling when they left Kent, but none
could positively assert that rain was
falling when they reached Ravenna, al
though the brakemen were pretty sure
that it was still misting.
Bert DeGraif, John Heating, A. G.
Jones, H. H. Young, of Corning, who es-
capped from the burning car, were also
placed upon the stand. They told sub
stantially the same stories. At the in
quest the tramp, who had hitherto de-
clined to give his name, said he was
John Harrington, from Lowell, Massa-
chusetts. Late in the afternoon the in
quest was adjourned by the Coroner un-
til 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The dead was sent to Corning on train
No. 2 Saturday morning. The railroad
company places its loss at 1923, 900.

Commanding General, Department of Ari-

Happily we have been able TO carry your
instructions to complete success without
the loss of a single man. We left this
camp at 3 o'clock this morning, and after
four hard hours marching were in front
of the "Areibe village" After some two
hours parley we secured the arrest of all
the medicine men, privates and soldiers.
We afterwards marched through the
streets of the Pueblo and saw every evil
dence of great preparation for defense.
They were only persuaded to surrender
peacefully by the presence of the large com
mand 50 wisely ordered for this duty. They
openly admit that our numbers only de
TERED them from making that fight for
which they had made so much preparation
Pursuant to your general instructions
have ordered the prisoners to Fort Wine
gate via Holbrook and the command after
four days needed rest in Keam's canon, to
return to their respective posts.
The presence of this command has done
much good in this part of the territory
and for some time to come little concern
need be had on account of the troubles
here. These men arrested are all very bad
Indians, with two exceptions the hardest
looking Indians have ever seen. With
out exception the conduct of every officer
and soldier has been of the finest; this,
under conditions that have been very try
