morning of murder in the second de-
gree. The trial has been in progress
since May IL. The crime was the direct
result of personal journalism.
The jury have vowed that they will
never disclose how they stood on any
of the ballots, and thus it will probably
never be- positively known who the dis
senters were By the laws of Ohio

having no alternative in the matter.
Notice of motion for new trial was
made, and so sentence was not passed.

CHINESE FANATICS.
Status of the War on Missionaries
in China.

Boston, July. 2S.-Much anxiety eX-
lists in Boston over the news from China
regarding the massacre of missionaries
in that country. At the Congregational
house Secretary Alden said that
the missionaries of his denomina-
tion had not been molested,
so far as was known, and Secretary
Murdoch, at the Baptist headquarters,
said the Baptists had been saved from
the fury of the CeleStials. At the Meth
OdiSt headquarters, however, it was
learned that riots had occurred at
Yank- Chow, Marking, Wusuch, Kin
Kiang and at other places i'll the Yang
Isl valley.
At Nanking the Chinese attempted to
demolish the Philander Smith hospital
and set fire to the girls school building
belonging to the Women's Foreign Mis-
sionary society Rev. d. w. Nichols
faced the mob alone, and kept them at
bay with his revolver until man.
DARN arrived with soldiers. The
doors, windows and walls of
the chapel and dwelling houses of the
Wesleyan mission at Wusuch were bat
tered down. Rev. Mr.. Argenta and
Mr.. Green, an EngliShman connected
with the customs service, were killed.
AS far as known at the Methodist head
quarters in Boston no New England
missionary has been murdered by the
Chinese.
LAS to the cause of these riots" said
one of the gentlemen connected with the
book concern, First thele is secret So
ciety which has for Its object the over
throw of the government, and whose
purpose in fOmenting riots is to embrOil
the government with foreign DOW
ers in the hope that war
may ensue. Second, there are large
numbers of discharged soldiers and un-
employed laborers. who constitute
roaming and lawless body of men, al
ways ready to enter into any scheme of
destruction and pIunder. The Chinese
government, however, was never more
friendly to missionaries than at the
present time. These rioters are its enc
mics, whom it is anxious TO punish. At
last accounts all our missionaries were
safe, though recent cablegrams lead us
to infer that they nave gone to Shang-
hal for safety"

Buried-AIiye Nuns.

NAPLES. July 26.-The nuns known
as 1.-The buried-alive," who were re-
moved by the authorities from the con-
vent of that name, have all been placed
in other and less rigorous institutions.
The ecclesiastical authorities, who were
at :lrst opposed to the change, as inter-
fering with the vows assumed by the
nuns, have given consent to the trans
fyr. The nuns lived in almost perfect
secIusion. Each nun wore thick veil,
ana was confined to her cell. Except in
urgent eases they held no cOmmunica-
ton with any one. The municipal in
spectors declared that the cells were
living graves. The building is now to
be changed into an elementary school
for poor girls.

Despite Unfavorable Condi-
tiOns the Days Racing
Was Very Good.

The track was in abominable shape
yesterday and a threatening sky re-
duced the attendance to minimum,
but it was well worth the while of those
who did attend to witness the novelty
of horses running in slop. Past the
grand stand the track mirroreed each
performer as he dashed past. The jock
eys, the horses and the trappings were
Yeneered with track SuTfacing.
1t kept the talent busy sizing up the
situation. and the betting was nervous
throughout the day. The favorites be-
gan to pull out ahead with regularity,
but the system was pulled up with
mighty sudden jerk when Orrick, a 10 to
/ shot, and at one time 80 to l, cap
tured the third purse for maiden three
year-OldS. 1t was a great perform
ance, and elected a deal of en-
thusiasm. Then the talent was
undisturbed until Orville, another
30 to l shot, created a sensation by run
ming away from the favOrites in the
finish There was something eXtraOrdi-
nary in this feature. There were Billy
PinkertOn, an old time ''mud horse"
COnsignee. a strong and good fiye-year-
Ola. ana OII6T Dlg hearty l6llOMo III Lll6
field, while OrYille is a tWO-year-oId
colt. Despite all these unfavorable
comparisons, a gOOdly number of dollars
were placed on him, especially when the
bOokmakers pushed the odds up in one
of their confident moods to 90 to l. 1t
was killing. however, for the talent. for
they had backed Marvel, COnsignee,
Corinne Kinney and Billy Pinkerton
quite heavily. COrinne found favor be-
cause of the light weight she carried.
All in all, in spite of the specifically
disagreeable conditions, it was an eX-
cellent days sport. and the management
challenges the admiration of all lovers
of good racing for their care to protect
everybody by preventing anything that
saYOrs of jobbery.

Coouimbo, Chill: The report that has

Coquimbo, Chill: The report that has
been sent out to foreign countries about
an engagement at Huascoa, in which
the congressional troops were routed, is
without foundation. There was no such
engagement. The Junta landed 1900
men there, intending to make an adj
vance upon the south. Since their land
ing they have not met the Balmacedists.
In regard to the victory of the govern
ment troops at Vallenar it has been
greatly exaggerated. As l have already
cabled, however, there is general be-
lief that a fight will take place in this
vicinity within short time.

SOME WRATHY TEXANS.
A Peoples Party Love Feast ana
Loud Talking.


ST. LOUIS, July 2S.-The Farmers
Alliance and Knights of Labor, of the
Third and Fourth congressional dis
tricts of Texas, are holding an encamp-
ment at Sulphur Springs, and Will con-
tinue for week. Among the promi-
nent persons present are Senator PETER,
of Kansas, and Mr.. Powers, president
of the Indiana Alliance. The speeches
so far have all been in favor of the PeO-
ple's party movement, and some Of
them of quite an Incorporate character.
For example. Leo r. Hoods, of Van
Zant county, predicted revolution in
the event relief fails throughthe ballot,
and said that John Brown succeeded
Lloyd Garrison, and that the people in
tend to break the reign of plutocracy
peaceably if they can, but forcibly IT
they must.
President Powers, of Indiana, said he
had looked across gun barrel at the
South not many years ago, but he was
here now to take them by the hand in
a fight to the death against the two old
parties, who were two old dogs trOtting
in the same path. There had been a
bloody chasm between the North aud
South for twenty-five years, but the peO-
pie will fill the chasm with the dead
politicians, wipe out monopoly and plut-
ocracy and restore the government to
the people. The exception written
across a greenback he held in his hand
had destroyed the sovereignty Of the
people and the evils were aggravated
when the exception was made against
the silver dollar He held map in his
hand illustrating the national banks in
which the people could not approach
the treasury, but showing a banker in
1886 receiving 500, 100000 from the treas
ury hopper. A map was shown with a
see-saw on the backs of two farmers on
all fours, and a Republican and Demo
erat on either end, and still another map
representing the farmers as reversing
the operation. Every slur on Democracy
was cheered and no sympathy was man
ifeSted over his structures on ingalls,,
Sherman and the Republican party.

B. & NJ. NOT IN 1T. E
The Transcontinental Scheme Has
No Charms.


BosToN, Mass, July 2S.-A director
of the Boston & Maine railroad says:
'There can be no foundation for re-
ports connecting the Boston & Maine
with any other road except what there
may be found in increasing business Of
the Boston Il Maine. It's territory is
pretty we'll defined, and all attempts to
ally it financially with the New York &
New England on the south, or the Can
adian Pacific or Grand Trunk on the
north will be found in the future, as in
the past. to be schemes that have
DO basis in the Boston d Maine manage
ment The road will never go out of
New England. The traffic between the
Canadian roads and the Boston & Maine
is, | believe, increasing. We are build
ing a short cutoff and an elevator up by
the Canadian border to facilitate this
business. Mr. Van Horn and Mr.. Fur
ber seem to get along very we'll together
in the mutual development of business,
but as to the Boston & Maine going into
any grand transcOntinental scheme, that
is too absurd for contradiction"

RETURNING GUARDS.
The Mutinous Grenadiers Back
From Exile.

LONDON, July 2S.-The troop ship
Orontes, having on board the battalion
of Grenadier Guards returning from
exile at Bermuda, on account of their
mutinous conduct about year ago,
reached Spithead. off Portsmouth. to-.
day. 1t was originally intended that
the Grenadiers should disembark at
Portsmouth, and it had been so an
nounced at the war Office and in the
newspapers. Consequently large
number of people, consisting of rela-
tves and friends of the returning exiles.
gathered at Portsmouth days ago, in
tending to welcome the soldiers upon
their return to England. The joy of
this crowd when it was announced that
the Orontes was sighted can be imag-
ined, as also can be imagined their dis
appointment and anger when it was
suddenly made known that the war
Office officials had, for some unexplained
reason. changed their mind and that the
troop ship was ordered to proceed to
Dover.

FIFTY ARE DEAD.
Interest Increasing in the st.
Mande Inquiry.


PARIS, July 2S.- Interest in the st.
Mande railway horror is increased by
the fact that the official inquiry has up
to this time failed to establish clearly
the real cause of the collision. Seven
more deaths have occurred, making fifty
in all. The station master and the
driver of the second engine have been
arrested on the charge of having con-
tributed by careleSsneSs to the collision.
The lady announced as being among the
victims of the disaster was not the Mar
quise de Montefet. She was a Nine.
Blanchy, or Blanchet, of New York.
The municipal authorities OF st.
Mande have decided that the funeral of
the victims is to take place at 3 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, and there is no
doubt that the ceremonies will be wit
messed by one of the largest crowds
ever gathered in the neighbOrhOOd of
this city. The interment of the re-
mains will take place in the cemetery
of st. Mande and will be conducted at
the expense of the commune.

GUIDO SCRATCHED,
Robbing the Second Race OF All
Its Interest.


The second race was expected to be
electrical because Guido and Yale '91
were to try conclusions in the mud in
an even mile run, Guido to carry 122 and
Yale only 100 pounds. But unhappily
for the excitement in the struggle
Guido was scratched. This left field
of only three horses, namely, Yale '91,
Tenor aad Twilight. When the betting
was marked up the bookmakers re-
tased to name Yale '91, because they
= ,eemed him dead sure thing. The
marking was Tenor 3 to to beat Twi-
light. and Twilight to to beat Tenor.
There was no spirit in the betting.
True favorites had pulled out the money
from the depths of the mud,
but caution dominated and the
betting went slow and tedious.
Yale 81 threw mud at his rivals from
the very start. He set the pace the en-
tire mile with mOnOtonous ease. There
was nothing in the dash to excite the
least furry Of excitement among the
spectators. Not a murmur of wonder
ment disturbed the sultry air. Yale '91
rode easy, and was on gallop the

HARD FIGHT AHEAD.

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-Kate Fields
Washington tomorrow will contain an
interview with Gov. Campbell on the
Ohio campaign. He thinks it will be
perhaps. the hardest fight on record.
The tariff issue will be the most con-
spicuous feature of the campaign.
Nothing could defeat the Democracy
except an enormous corruption fund,
and even that would fail, in his opinion:
first, because Ohio has never been
bought and never will be, and secondly.
because the Australian system renders
nugatory to great extent all efforts to
corrupt the voters. "The silver ques-
ton will be an issue, but not to such an
extent as the tariff. While the Demo-
Gratis declared, after fashion, for free
coinage. yet it was upon very close
vote, and the sentiment of the party is
much divided. 1t would perhaps be
more of an issue had any other than
Maj. Mckinley headed the Republican
ticket, but his nomination forces the
tariff issue, and upon that we must
stand or fall"

Lake Breeze, a Hot Favorite,

Lake Breeze, a hot favorite at 4 to 5,
had no trouble in landing the first
purse for two-year-Olds. The distance
was five furlongs. The betting run
very slow. Everybody who cared to
venture felt that the mud would kill
anv good horse and a rank outsider
would come IN and win. Owing to this
fact the boOkmakers stood pretty
sturdily by their initial odds. Lake
Breeze sold considerably, and Nellie
Pearl found market fer place at to l,
while her straight Offering was S tO l.
The Peer, by running in handily and
defeating Callie Ferguson and w b

out Hispania and Hamline served to add

RECRUITS FOR HAREMS.
Western Europe Furnishing
Slaves For Turks.


LONDON, July 2S.-A dispatch ftom
Constantinople says the inquiry re-
garding the young English girl rescued
from compulsory marriage to a Kurd,
has brought to light the fact that con-
siderable number of young women from
Western Europe are detained in the
harems of Asia Minor. The kidnap-
ing off Russian Womenhas. been known
for some time, and the Russian author
tiles on the frontier have pretendede to
take steps to put an end to the evil, al
though they are believed to be sharers
in the profits of this slave trade.
Now, however, the startling allega-
tion is made that girls, often not of good
character, are Induced to leave their
homes in London and Paris, and brought
to the. East to live as the wives of
wealthy Turks, lmmured in haremS for
lifetime. 1t Is known that the supply
of female slaves from Africa and Asia
