IN the scientific department OF Princeton
college, of New Jersey, are at present in
this city organizing a scientific exploring

river rises beyond White Sulphur Springs
and flows northwest, emptying into the
Missouri near Ulm, a few miles from this
city. The party have purchased their
outfits here, which consist of
two four-horse teams. Prof Morrison
the geologist, will accompany them. They
Will be absent about sig weeks. In a con-
versation to-day Prof. Scott said: "Our
trip is mainly for the purpose of procuring
fossils, which / understand are petrified in
the region of Smith river. This part of the
country has never been explored by body
OF scientific men and we expect to make
some valuable finds. The country was
formed in the carboniferous period and l
think was once the bed Of an ancient lake.

An Innocent Man Hanged.

BEATRICE Neb., Aug. 3.-More than fif-
teen years ago Jack Marion and Cameron
set out together in a wagon on trip. They
were last seen at Blue river. near here. A
few days later the supposed body of Cam
eron was found in the Blue river, and when
it WAS discovered Marion had been seen
with Cameron's team and goods in his pos
session. He was suspected of numbering
his companion. He was apprehended
ten years afterward. tried several times
and finally executed in March, 1887.
William Wymore, uncle of Marion, has al
ways believed the latter innocent, and
finally proved it by finding Cameron alive
in Lacrosse. Kan. The latter had gone i'm
mediately to Mexico and thence to Alaska,
after leaving Marion on the banks of Blue
river. and had returned from Alnska only n
year ago. Hearing Of Marion's execution
then for the first time, and fearing himself
amenable to law, he concealed his identity,
but remorse caused him to reveal it. He is

Terrible Scenes of Carnage In tho Streets
Of tho Ill-Fated villsge-Bar-
CelOna Bears.

New York, Aug. 3.-A morning paper saws:
Hai rowing details of terrible massacre of
inoFensive residents in AN isolated village
in Paraguay by half savage natives have
reached this city by mail According to
adviccs LEO men, women and children were
wantonlv slaughtered and their butchers
celebrated their victory in wild orgies. The
affair occurred on the night of March 10,
and news was delayed in reaching here by a
lack of facilities for communication with
the outside world According to the details,
which v ere published in La Democracia, at
Assumption, Paraguay, band OF most
lawless natives, angered by some political
difference with residents of neighborinp
village, 1slapan, descended on the latter
place and began the slaughter by an attack
on the house of Judge Gauna. Tho attack
ing band was headed by the notorious ban
dit Benito Benitez, and numbered about
fifty men. On arriving at Judge Gauna'a
house the desperadoes surrounded it and
opened fire from the rear. There were but
four people there at the time, Judge Gauna'e
sged wife, his two sons and daughter.
The judge himself and another son were
absent on business. The fire of the des-
peradoes was returned by the men in the
house, the women aiding them by loading
the guns as fast as they were emptied.
When the ammunition of those in the
house was exhausted the desperadoes en-
tered and killed the two sons and took the
women prisoners. At the beginning of the
attack some inhabitants, attracted by the
firing, rushed into the streets and fred into
the mob, but a detachment of desperadoes
speedily rushed upon them and murdered
them and their neighbours pillaging and
burning their houses. Humble homes and
homes of luxury we're destroyed by fire, not
even churches being spared. At the church
of Immaculate Conception. mass was being
celebrated at the time. When the raiders
were denied admission to the church they
forced an entrance and waited patiently
for the conclusion of services be-
fore they began their bloody work.
The priest was among the slain and
in the looting Of the edifice not an article
of the slightest value was left by the raid
ers. Many of those who sought to take ref
uge on the opposite side of the Paraguay
river, that flows near the city. were devoured
by sharks. The attack on the home of
Judge Subeldia, at the other end of the vii
lage, was despel ately resisted and several of
the raiders were killed, the leaders, Benitez
and Martinez being among them. In ull
eleven Iaiders and $50 inhabitants were
killed. The latest news from the scene of
the terrible slaughter stated that govern
ment troops were pursuing the outlaws

THE NEXT CONCLAvE.
Where 1t Will BE Held Is a Question o

Where 1t Will BE Held Is a Question of
Much Concern.
ROME, Aug. 3.-Whers shall the next con-
clave be held? is the question now being
discussed in governmental circles. Church
dignitaries are interested observers
This question, it is believed, will be
the pivot of the policy of
both of the Italian government and of the
vatican. There is good authority for the
statement that the Italian government has
sent explicit instructions to its represe nta-
tives abroad to prevent the conclave from
ing held away from Rome. 1t breads
above all things foreign pope and con-
clave away from the Eternal city.
All Italian confidential negotia-
tions with the great powors are believed to
be inspired with this dominating idea, that
Italy will respect and safeguard the liberty
of the conclave, and therefore no nation
should offer hospitality to the sacred college.
Should the cardinals decide to hold the
conclave elsewhere than at Rome the reason
ia manifest. Should any change take place
the government would find itself confront
ed with an entirely new situation. This
would be unknown and the Italian govern
ment fears the unknown. The re-openinR
of the political question, morally and diplo-
matically, enthusiastically and politically,
as 1t would be opened, is what the Italian
government wishes to prevent at any price.
