Congressman Charlie Friedrich
Crisp of Georgia who has succeeded
in capturing the gravel Of the new
house of Representatives is an
Englishman by birth, having been
porn in Sheffield in 1919. He was
hardly l year old, however, when
his parents emigvated to America
and setteled in Savanna, Ga, where
he received common education.
In May. 1861, he entered the
Confederate army as lieutenant IN
Company X Tenth V rginia Infantry
He was taken prisoner in May 1864,
and confined at Fort Delewar, and
there remained until June 1860,
when he was released. He then
returned to his parents, who at that
time resided at Ellaville, Ga. In
1866 he was admitted TO the bar,
and practiced until 1872, when lie
received the appointment IF Solici-
tor General for the Southwestern
Judicial circuit, and in 1873 he was
reappointed to the position for a
term of four years.
In 1887, he was appointed Judge
of the Superior Court OF the same
circuit, and in the following year he
was elected to the office. He was
reelected judge in 1880. and served
for two years, at the expiration Of
of which time he resigned his seat
on the bench to accept the Demo
cratic nomination for Congress. He
was successful at the election, and
has been reelected to the last four
Congresses.
The Salt Lake Tribune says of him.
Personally we are glad to see him
win, because we believe him to be
the biggest and the broadest man
among the contestants. As we
understand Il, Mr.. Crisp is a moder-
ate protection Democrat, of the Ran

would put on such things as tea,

adopt the English plan throughout.
In his remarks of thanks to the
House of Representatives, he adj

tives, for the great honor you have
conferred upon me l return my

Two Policemen and a Woman savagely
Cut by . Vicious Negro.
PEORIA, H., Aug. 27.-George Berry,
o negro, ran amnck in the streets of
Peoria and viciously stabbed and slashed
three persons, all of whom are in a
critical condition. During the afternoon
he quarreled with negro woman In .
house on Water street. The woman fed
when the fiend drew knife, but he
overlook her and began cutting her in a
savage manner, when two police officers
appeared on the scene. Sergeant Sloan,
knowing the desperate character of the
negro, did not propose to take any
chances and tried to shoot him, but his
revolver missed fire. Berry then sprang
on bim with all the fury OF wild ami
NAL and seriously cut the officer about
the face and head. Policeman Camp
bell, who went to Sloan's aid, was also
seriously injured. Leaving his three
victims weltering in their blood, the
desperate ran up the street thrusting
viciously at every one he ran across. He
was stopped by Officer Stever, who sue
ceeded in knocking him down and ar
resting him. If any Of his victims die
the murderer will probably be lynched.

ST. PAUL, Aug. 27.-The auditors of
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway company are still in the midst
of the books of George l.. Osborne, the
late elevator superintendent. They win
not be. ready to make complete report
until Saturday. They have, however,
run across shortage of $4,000 in one
lump. This $751; 900 was money which he
had collected as freight and elevator
charges. Most of it was collected
from Minneapolis millers, to whom
the first bulk of wheat which has
passed through Elevator B, was con-
signed. The extent and character of
the business of which Osborn had
charge were such, it appears, as made it
possible for him to appropriate to his
own use large amount of money each
month. He could easily retain for his
own use considerable amount of each
days collection. The general belief now
is that he died a defaulter to the extent
of at least 800, 900, and possibly a great
deal more.
1t was learned from well known
gambler that Osborn was constantly
addicted to faro, and as cool loser as
any man that ever entered faro den,
losing $500 at single bet with as little
emotion as most men show at losing $40.
The amount of his losses at the card
table is said to reach to thousands.

Latest Advices from Chilli Indicate

LONDON, Aug. 27.--All night long
tremendous hurricane prevailed through
out Great Britain. Everywhere the tel
egraph wires are Frustrated, and it is
impossible to obtain anything more than
the most meagre information as to the
amount of destruction caused by the
fearful wind and sweeping rain. In and
about London and the few outside places
that have been heard from, trees have
been dragged out of the ground by their
roots and the roofs of houses have been
ripped up and hurled into the streets.
At Newcastle the tents of the flower
show were blown away like straws, and
the beautiful exhibit which they had en-
closed was almost entirely destroyed.
A dispatch from Southport, in Lam
caster county, on the Irish sea, reports
that the Norwegian bark Gefon has
been wrecked off that place. The crew
were, however, saved. Numerous other
minor casualties are recorded. It is
feared that with the restoration of the
telegraph service will come the news Of
serious disasters along the coast.
