A SAD TRAGEDY.

A SON Shoots and Kills His Father who
was Making a Vicious Assault Upon the
Divorced Wife of the Latter ut Their
Home In Cincinnati.
CINCINNATI, Aug. 10.-t;eorge F. ME-
man, a shoemaker at 1876 Everett street;
was shot and instantly killed yesterday
by his son Charles F. Nieman, aged 20
years, at their home, IS German
street. The shooting resulted from
Il family quarrel which has
been in progress for several
years. About ten years ago Mrs. Me
man procured a divorce from her hus-
band for cruelty, but he was allowed
to retain a room in the house, which be-
longs to the wife. The quarrelling
among the members of the family and
the old man has been frequent, owing
to his violent temper. Yesterday he
began to annoy his ex-wIfe and the two
daughters, Anna and Emma. The son
was asleep upstairs, and. hearing the
noise came out and saw his father with
n pair of tongs in hand upraised as if to
strike his mother, who Is cripple. He
rushed back and got revolver. Just
then the old man made a notion as if
to strike his mother, when he leveled
his revolver at his father and fired, the
bullet passing through his right lung.

ously.
The young man surrendered himself
to the police and was locked up at the

POSTAL CONVENTION.

Every Civilized Government in the World
Except Two Represented In the Recent
Postal Convention at yIenna-AustrIilia
Will Join the Postal Union.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1O.-Capt. Brooks,
superintendent of foreign mails. has
Just returned from Vienna, where he
was in attendance as delegate to the
international postal convention. There
were, he says, delegates present from
every civilized country in the world, ex-
cept the Transvaal and Natal. Capt.
Brooks believes that by the time the next
convention, which meets in 1897, is
held, every civilized country on
the globe will be in the union. The
principal event of the Vienna union was
the admission of the Australian coun-
tries. They agreed to come in on DC.
tober of this year, provided the inter.
national postal rates are not re-
duced. They claim that they could
not stand a reduction. The pres
ent rate between this country
and Australia is twelve cents, and
from that country to this is sixpence a
half ounce. Under the union the rate
may be anywhere from five to ten
cents half ounce. This country will
at once reduce the rate to Ave cents.
Australia may keep its rate at ten
cents, but it is likely it will reduce it at
once to five cents. Washington was
made the next place of meeting.

SWEPT BY A TWISTER.

| The Borders of Chequemagon Bay at
Ashland, Wis, Visited by . Cyclone
Many Buildings at that Place and vicin-
itt Wrecked and Much Vessel Property
Damaged, Entailing Heavy Loss-Two
Persons Killed and Many Injured.
ASHLAND. Wis, Aug. "a terrible
cyclone struck this place at o'clock
yesterday ifternotn, ,demolishing build;
ings and tearing things up In general;
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 a perform
ance; the tents were torn to shrsds and
scores of people were injured, bit for
tunately only two were killed, George
Debell and Louis Wilson. The animals
escaped from their cages ard are still
running wild in the streets.
About 10000 bushels of grain is dam
aged in the Chicago, st. Paul, Mime
sofa & Omaha elevator. Several
pleasure yachts were caught on Cheque-
iIfagot bag, and have not been heard
from as yet.
The roof was stripped from the
Fifeld block. The Swedish Baptist
church was lifted four feet from its
foundations and turned around and
numerous small buildings were twisted
about
Out ON the bay half a dozen little
yachts were moored. They all broke
away from their fastenings and were
wrecked upon the shore. Among them
ls the handsome little Sheeny, which
won the race a week ago. The total
damage amounts to S1d,OOd.
The worst effects of the STORM were
experienced at Washburn, on the op=
posite side of the bay. The post office
building, frame structure on Main
street, in which were half a dozen per-
sons, collapsed, and caught the inmates in
what seemed to be death trap, but by
a fortunate lodgment of timbers they
all escaped without injury, except two
women, one of whom suffered a broken
leg and the other confusion of the
head.
Half a dozen other buildings arc
badly wrecked. Tile roof of the Omaha
elevator was lifted up and dashed into
the bay, exposing the stock of wheat
to the rain. Derricks and hoisting en-
gines at the coal docks We're blown
over and ruined, and many thousands
of feet of lumber piled in the yards of
the Bigclow mills were blown into the
water. Several sail-boats are reported
lost on Chequemagon bay, but reports
are not very full, and until the extent
of the storm is known the damage to
marine interests can not be computed.
The loss at Washburn is probably

counties of that state have been very
seriously affected by the terrific heat
of the last few days. The wheat
along the Manitoba border was just
in the milk, two weeks at least
from harvest, and the intense
protracted heat is said to have blistered
and shriveled it to such an extent as
to ruin large part of it and render the
remainder all off grade. The country
west of bismarck is said not to have
suffered at all.
