"ANorHER JESSE JAMES"
Robs Bank In Broad Daylight aud Kills
Two Mon Willie Doing Il.

LIMA, o, Aug S.-One of the boldest
bank robberies and murders ever per-
petrated in this section OF the country
occurred this morning at Columbus
Grove, town OF about 1000 people,
twelve miles north OF here.
Cashier I. J. Maple had just opened
the Exchange bank, of which his father
is proprietor, and laid out about $1,000
near the cashiers window. About $3.50
man appeared in the door with u re-
volver in each hand. He Immediately
began shooting. Cashier Maple was
struck twice, once in the arm and once
in the right side. As he fell to the floor
an old farmer, William Nandemark,
aged sixty, entered the door, having
come to get his money for some hogs
he had Just sold. The robber turned
and shot him through and through.
The old man fell dead in his tracks.
A third man sat in the lobby of the
bank paralyzed with fear. He was not
molested. The desperate then grabbed
81 200 in greenbacks, showed them in
the pockets Of his sack coat, and darted
out the door, shouting: "1'm second
Jesse James," Quite a crowd had been
attracted by the sounds of the shots,
but there was scattering when the
wild-eyed murderer appeared on the
street, having gun in either hand and
shooting ndiscriminately.
The desperate is described as being
short and heavy get, with full face and
small black mustache. Hewore black
alpaca cap, black sack coat, blue pRnts
with white stripe, and no vest. lie ap-
pearcd to be about 30 or IS years old.
One OF the bystanders, Henry Buck,
failed to get out of the way fast enough
and was struck down by a bullet from
the rapidly-speaking revolvers. The
fellow ran to the outskirts OF the town
and disappearedinto corn field.
A posse was quickly organized and
started in pursuit. Another posse
started from West Caro-, and at this
time Sheriff O'NeilI and Chief OF Police
Alpas are organizing an armed band
here to assist in the search. If found
the fellow will be shot down like dog.
Vandemark, who was fatally shot,
leaves n large family. He said: 81
started to go into the bank, when l no.
ticed fellow fourishing two revolvers.
He came toward me and shot once, the
bullet making my wound.
~ turned around, started and went
away, and with the aid OF my son,
walked to the doctors Office, distance
OF forty rods. After this blood-thirsty
act, the fellow went to the p, A. & W.
depot, where the two men undertook to
stop him, but he cleared his way
promptly, drawing his shooters. Then
ne went toward the crossing Of the rlil-
road, where he was last seen."

YUMA, A. T, Aug. 9.-Reports con-
tinue to come in from the earthquake
region at the head of the Gulf of Cali
fornia. Two Cocopah Indians OF the
tribe that live near there arrived here
yesterday. They tell thrilling story.
Early Thursday morning hundreds OF
mud volcanoes, thirty miles of, burst
into violent eruption. The air grew
denser and many Indians were sutfo-
Gated. At last violent thunder storm
cleared the air only to show the tidal
waves approaching with frightful
rapidity.
The waters rose, swallowing up their
cattle. horses and grain fields and driv-
ing them for their lives to tho top OF
the Nlesas, a bundled feet high above
the river. The earthquake shocks then
began. The fourth threw every one
down, seriously iniuring many.
The dust darkened the air, the rum
Bile OF the earthquake, the sharp ex-
plosions of the distant volcano, the bel
lowing OF the crazed cattle and the gen.
eral uproar became unbearable, and the
frightened Indians broke and fled wildly
up the river. Two only succeeded in
reaching here, who tell the story. The
others dropped exhausted along the
route.

A TORNADO

Docs Serious Damage In Wisconsin Town.
A Circus Blown Away and the Animals
Let Loose In the Streets.
ASHLAND, Wis, Aug. "a tornado
struck this place at four o'clock this
afternoon, demoralizing buildings and
tearing things up generally. A heavy
rain accompanied it, flooding the streets
for hours after.
At Washburn, across the bay from
Ashland, the tornado's force was more
furious. Business blocks were seri-
ously damaged, and seven people in one
building were slightly injured. Prof.
Williams circus was giving perform
ance. Tho tents were torn to shreds
and scores Of people were injured, but
fortunately only two were killed =
Georue Benell and Louis Wilson. The
animals escaped from their cages, and
are still running wild in the streets.
About sixty thousand bushels OF grain
are damaged in the Chicago, st. Paul,
Minneapolis and st. Paul elevator. Sew
eral pleasure yachts were caught on
Chequamegon Bay, and have not been
heard from as yet.
The roof was stripped from the Fifield
Block. The Swedish Baptist church
was lifted four feet from its foundations
and turned around, and numerous small
buildings twisted about. On the bay
front half a dozen little yachts were
moored. They all broke away from
their fastenings and were wrecked upon
the shore. Among them is the haud-
some little Sleeney, which won the race
week ago. The total damage amounts
to $4,000.
The worst effects OF the storm were
experienced at Washburn, on the op-
posite side OF the bay. Tho postotiice
building, a frame structure on Main
street, in which were half q dozen per-
sons, collapsed. and caught the inmates
in what seemed to be death trap, but
by a fortunate Judgement OF timbers
they all escaped without injury, except
two women, one OF whom suffered u
broken leg, and the other q confusion
Of the head. Half u dozen other
buildings arc badly wrecked.
The roof OF the Omaha elevator was
lifted up and dashed into the bay, ex-
posing the stocks OF wheat to rain.
Derricks and hosting engines at the
coal dock were blown over and ruined,
and many thousands OF feet of lumber
piled in the Yards of the Bigelow Mills
were blown into the water. Several
sail boats are reported lost on
Chequamcgon bay, but reports are not
verefied, and until the full extent Of the
storm is known the damage to marine
interests cannot be computed. The
damage at Washburn is probably S5O,-
600.

Dependency When Deprived OF Her Al

CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 0.-The story Of
q suicide, which has had few parallels,
in this vicinity in the desperation OF
its character, and in horrible as well as
dramatic surroundings. reached the city
last night from the College Hill sani-
tarium, an institution devoted to the
care OF darkened and semi-shadowed
minds. The victim, in this case was
Mrs. Nettie Webb, an aged and
wealthy widow Of Louisville,
KY, where her family is
very prominent. She was admitted
to the sanitarium on the 2lst OF April
last, and her case diagnosed as u de-
spondency following upon reactions
from drink and opium. She did not
need special attention, but had the run
OF the place. Being deprived Of her

she had sacrificed home and family and
high statious-she developed melan-
choly tendency, but was not considered,
however, dangerous to herself or others,
or to be in need OF special watching.
At seven o'clock last evening, as was
usual on Saturdays, she was given
the privileges OF the bathroom, and
naturally her absence. from her room
was not specially noticed. The sound
OF overaowing water, however, imme-
diately attracted an attendant, Miss
McDavitt, who found tho door locked
and, summoning assistance, an entrance
was effected. Mrs. Webb was in the
bath-tub, clad in her usual clothes and
with her head under the spigot. She
was lifted out as quickly us possible,
but life was found to be extinct.
DR.. Everts, the Superintendent, made
every effort to resuscitate her, but in
vain. The sad news was telegraphed to
Louisville, and one OF the unfortunate
lady's sons, Mr.. George II. Webb, will
be here this morning to drive to Col
lege Hill with Undertaken Wiltsee to
take charge OF the remains. The de-
ceased was tlfty.flve years of age, and
most estimable woman in all the relu-
tions OF life. Until her unfortunate

AoAsE OF SPOONS.

Franco and Russia Have Forgotten all
Their Old Time Anlmoslty and are Now
Embracing Like Young Lovers.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The European stu.
alton this week may fairly be described
as amusing, the spoonins Of Russia
and France forming the most
humorous feature. The telegraph
brings beautiful stories of Franco
Russian fraternity and love. Sebasta-
pol is forgotten. The sailors Of
both nations are like brothers reunited,
and us for their officers, the French
language lacks adjectives for the eS-
preston of the mutual admiration that
exists between them.
From the addresses made at the vari-
ous banquets on board the vessels OF
the visiting feet and in Russian castles
and palaces, one is unable to discover
which is the deeper, the love Of BElnce
for the Car, or that OF the Russian
autocrat for French institutions and
President Carnot. Even the diver who
was exhibiting the submarine tele-
phone to visitors ut Cronstadt did not
forget the entente, "Bon jour, mon COM
mandant," to tho captain Of the French
frigate, and the French captain not only
replied, but added the Russian word for
thanks s-"Spassibo."
the Gar, himself, at dinner given
at Petershof, gave as his toast: ITO
the welfare Of NJ. Carnot, President of
the French Republic; to the welfare OF
the fleet, and especially OF the squadron
commanded by Admiral Gervais."
No wonder that the worthy Admiral
being carried into n military club at
Moscow ut the- shoulder OF the Russian
officers was inspired after dinner. "The
attention OF the world Is directed upon
u.s." quoted the Admiral. 81 drink TO
tho noble Russian people and their
Car" and when General Tchernaief
replied: "History has drawn us closer
together Us friends, and ! drink TO
Franco and her army and her fleet"
Admiral Gervais again spoke.
"Taught by misfortune" he said,
''France is now recruiting her strength.
She is nevertheless strong by reason Of
her unity and by possessing the friend
ship OF great monarch and looks with
confidence to the future"
So warm is the affection for France in
Russia Just at present that the Russian
newspapers have only kind things to
say about the visit Of the French fleet
to England, Frances ally in the Crimea
upon the return from the Russian visit.
The anti-English agitators OF France
have not yet, however, ceased to howl
and rant about the acceptance of the
queens invitation, SO soon after the
visit of their hated foe, the emperor OF
Germany.

THEY Will MEET.
M. Ribot and M. De Giers win
Have a Friendly
OYER IN SWITZERLAND,
Where They Will DISCUSS Matters of
European Policy and Formulate a
Plan for Keeping Franco aud Rus
sla from Becoming Entangled in
ANY of tho schemcs--.other Euro
pcan Ncws.

PARIS, Aug. ON. Ribot, French min
lister of foreign affairs, will go to Lau-
same Mt the end of this month on a
vacation, during which he will meet,
either at Lausanne or DGcerne, the
Russian foreign minister, NJ. DeGiefs,
who is also about to make a holiday So
journ in Switzerland.
The meeting is the subject Of much
speculation, apart from the Franco
Russian military entente already par
TALLY effected. NJ. Ribot, according TO
diplomatic report, will sieze the
chance, to consult with NJ. DeGiers on
the menacing attitude Of the Driebund
Zollerverein toward both France and
Russia.
Yesterday evenings North German
GGzeite frankly avows, what the French
foreign office has long suspected, that
the ultimate object OF Germany in pro-
noting European commercial league
was the conclusion OF tariff conventions
with all states outside of Europe. A
semi-oiliCial communication in the North
German Gdatts repudiates any design to
isolate France or to interfere with
Russian commerce, but tht palpable re.
suit of the Zollerverein in placing the
parties to the compact in an advan-
tageous position for the negotiation OF
commercial treaties with foreign states
is dwelt upon. If NJ. Ribot succeeds
through his conference with NJ. De-
Giers in efIecting an economic entente
between the two countries it will greatly
add to the repute OF both statesmen.
Wm. Fullerton, n young American, n
graduate OF Harvard, replaces NJ. De-
Blowitz as the working head Of the
Paris office OF the London Times. NJ.
DeBlowitz continues his special contri-
buttons. DIR. Fullerton has been con-
nected with the Tmsstatf and has done
good editorial work for two years.

Bosrox, Aug. "a yachting party
consisting of four men and five children
were cruising in Dorchester bay this
afternoon when the boat capsized and
two men and four children were
drowned.
Tho skipper, ]. NJ. Burke aged forty
six years, was among the victims and
none of the rescued can tell what

1t Promises to BE Lively, MS the Socialists
VIII Endcavor to CnpturoIt.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-The forthcoming
International Labor Congress at Brus-
sells promises to be more lively than
that held in Paris last year, which, it
vii! be remembered, was not al
lowed to be dull. The restless
Socialists are already at work, with a
view to capture the congress at its first
sitting, and are exulting at the prospect
Of outnumbering the British and Con-
tinental moderates. The Socialists may
succeed this year, bscause many OF the
British delegrLes were so disgusted at
Paris by tho revolutionary antics as to
declare that they would never again at
tend an international congress.
The British Trade Union Congress,
meeting at Newcastle September Z, will
discuss practical programme instead
of wasting time in debating tho brother
hood OF man and bowling the Mar
seillaise. Englishmen don't object to
liberty, equality and fraternity,
but, pending the arrival of the millen-
Jun, they will endeayor to secure re-
forms in the laws relating to employers,
liabilities for accidents, hours OF labor,
steam engines and boilers, contracts,
fair wages, tho sanitation Of factories
and workshops, and such like prosaic
matters.

British Troops After n Test.
LONDON, Aug. 9.-An important re-
suit of the recent rifle meeting at Bisley
has been the somewhat general con-
demnation of the new magazine rifle by
the volunteers. 1t was found that the
extractor would not pull out the cart
ridge with the bullet in it, though it
usually extracted the case after firing
without any difficulty.
But the main objection was to the
new sights, and especially to the fore
sight, which has been so universally
condemned that the War Office has
been reverted to the Barleycorn sight,
which appears to be the best military
foresight obtainable. The absence OF
recoil in the new weapon is spoken OF
with great approval.

LONDON, Aug. 0.-An official telegram
received in Paris from Brazzaville, in
the French Congo, seals the fate OF the
Paul Crampel expedition, and places
the young explorer among the martyrs
to science and exploration. This tele-
gram, dated July Is, states that Cram
pel was assassinated on April 0, with
Mohamed Ben Said, the Arab inter
prefer, and two Senegal skirmishers, in
the wilderness toward Baghirmi. Cram
pei left France year ago last March
with the hope OF opening up way from
the Kougo 10 Lake Tchad across an un::
known country to the rich lands OF
Baghirmi, Bornou and Sokoto.
Young Crampel, who was less than
thirty years old ut the time OF his death,
first went to the French Kongo in 1888
US secretary to De Brazza. The follow
ing year he obtained authority to ex-
plore all the region lying between Las
towville, on the 0gowe, and the rivers
Benito and Campo, a district complete
" unknown, and with which it was i'm
portant for Frenchmcn be better ac-
auainted. On August IL, 1888, his little
company, in which he was the only Eu-
ropean, and which contained no inter
prefer, left Lastowyille and penetrated
into the countryof the pigmies; then
having reached the northern boundary
of the French possessions, he turned
toward the coast.
During this expedition, for diplomatic
reasons, he accepted 9-year.old child
Of a powerful Pahouine chief as wife,
and this girl accompanied him later on
to France and afterwards on his ill
ated expedition. The march toward
the coast through the forest and across
marshes and amid hostile people was
one OF great suffering and priyGtion;
but finally, bearing with him volumin:
GUS notes and collections, he emerged
at the French post.
Although this Inst expedition has so
sadly failed. its results are not unimpor-
tant, and his previous career is such as
to give him his own peculiar place
among the great African explorers.
