last modest resting place In the ceme-
terry at Mount Vernon. The hearse was
draped with the stars and stripes, and
just in front formed eight Grand Army
posts ana detachment of the state
militia, while to the rear the state off,
GERS and the honorary pallbcarers, with
Governor Chase and Private Secretary

HOOKSWlNGlN9.
The Horrible Tortures Endured by Man
in Madras, India.

81 maui Nat
CALCUTTA, NOV. 27.-Much indigna-
ton is expressed among Europeans
throughout India at the failure of the
government of Madras to interfere with
the ceremony of hookswinging, the par
ticulars of which were recently cabled
Investigation does not sustain the ex-
cuse of the authorities that it was a
case of voluntary suffering, as the vic
tim selected for the torture was chosen
by lot, and would probably have been
compelled to submit if he had been un-
willing. The custom had been discon-
tinued for about twenty-five years, hav-
ing been denounced, if not actually pro-
hibited, by former administration. The
unusual visitation of famine, cattle
disease and other misfortunes led to its
revival.
1t appears that the victim was not
merely swung up by the hooks. A
curved knife was first thrust through
the muscles of his back, on one side,
and an iron hook pushed in. Then the
same was done on the other side. The
man was then swung by the hooks to
the end of pole, fifty feet long. The
pole was fastened to a car in such way
that the victim was elevated in the air
about forty feet. The car was then
drawn through the streets amid the
cries of the people.
All this was done to propitiate the
Goddess Of Evil Destinies, and figure
of the goddess was carried where she
would have full view of the proceed
ings. The victim stood the torture sto-
ically, and when released showed no
sign of fatal injury For some months
to come he will be the recipient of lib
eral gifts at the hands of those for whose
assumed benefit he endured the torture.

FIFTEEN CENTS A WEEK
THE DARK LAKE.
A Body of Water That Never Gives Up
Its Dead.

LARMIE, Wy, Nov. 27.--A movement
is now on foot in the neighborhood of
Hutton lake which will in all probability
solve mystery and show the cause for
legend which has attached to that body
of water ever since man has been in this
part Of the country. Hutton lake is a
small body Of water that has always
been perfectly quiet, 1t is so sheltered
from the winds that rarely does a ripple
stir the smooth surface. Not only is it
ever quiet, but has the peculiar property
of never giving up its dead.
Time and again have human beings
been lost in the still depths of the water,
but in no instance has a body been re-
covered. The Indians, before white men
came, said the lake was the home of a
monster which lived off the animals
which went into tine lake. The first
record of white men being lost in the
water was twenty years ago, when three
men broke through the ice and inn
mediately sank. Although the water
was dragged, not sign of them could
be found. Since then numerous others
have been lost i'll the deadly pool, but
they were never found.
About the middle of October M. b.
Dawson, prominent and wealthy man,
fell into the lake, sank and was never
seen again. The lake was dragged and
then a diver was sent for from San
Francisco, who searched the lake, but
gave it as his opinion that the body was
fast in the mud at the bottom. AS there
is an insurance of $27, 900 on Dawson's
life it is necessary that the body should
be recovered.
To this end arrangements have been
made to have the lake drained 1t is
estimated that this work will cost $10,-
900, and it will take nearly six months
to complete the task. Engineers have
been figuring ON the work and the con-
tract will be let at once. The move has
attracted the attention of scientists from
all parts of the country, and it is ex-
pected that valuable information will be
obtained from the bottom of the death
trap

Maggie Maloney, of Clarksville, eloped
from here, and on an affidavit sworn to

The bride and groom both expected, as
matter Of course, to be forgiven, mas
much as they were married in due form,
and seemed to have no apprehension.

EMIGRATION CONGRESS.


in Paris.
PARIS, Nov. 27.-The international
conference on emigration opened in this
city Wednesday. M. Jules Simon pre-
sided. He was supported by Prince
Cassiano AID by Major Frederick Brack-
ett special foreign agent of the United
States, who is attending the conferenB
under instructions from the treasury de-
partment at Washington. The confer
ence will last four days
M. Jules Simon, in his opening ad-
dress, declared that the object of the
conference was not to oppose emigration
but to assist emigrants in seeking new
homes and to protect them against the
abuses complained of through the pub
lie press and other channels by emi-
grants who had been i'll treated on board
ship or elsewhere, and who had been
misled by alluring advertisements or un-
trustworthy agents.
Major Brackett, for the United States
government, said that the United States
desired to restrict the emigration of vag-
Rbonds and criminals, but that it would
welcome good, honest, temperate emf
grants. The conference, Major Brack-
EFT added, could depend upon the good
will of the United States in all matters
tending to improve the class of immi-
grants going to America, and in all
efforts to protect them from the abuses,
ill-treatment or deception of any kind.
Major Brackett's remarks were most
heartily applauded, and evidently gained
him Immediately the sympathy of all
those present.

A Volcanic RumbIing, and Huge Waves
Submerge a Ship.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 27.-The Amer
lean bark Hesper, Captain Sodergren,
twenty-seven days from Kobe, Japan,
reports that her standing rigging was
carried away by the force of the earth
quake shock of Oct. 29, in that harbor,
and that other vessels in the harbor also
suffered. The damage to the town was
very great.
On Oct. 30, when the vessel was about
seventy-five miles from Kobe, ON its
homeward trip, another violent shock
occurred, shortly after daybreak A
rumbling az that of a submarine vol
cano, was heard, and the sea was lashed
into foam, the waves breaking over the
vessel. The bark was shaken and tossed
about most violently, and the main top
mast cross-trees went by the board. The
deck was flooded with water of tenn
perature SO high as to seem almost boil
ing hot, and the air, which was filed
with sulphurous odor, became sitting.
The strength of the vessel and her
crew was taxed to the utmost for an
hour and a half, but it was fully five
hours before the storm ceased. Captain
Sodergreen then steered the vessel to tle
southwark to keep out of the track Of
the storm. He lost four days by his
course, but, as fair weather was OK
perienced for the remainder of tho
voyage, quick run was made to this
port,

DECATUR, Ills, Nov. 27.-Ed and
Grant Atterbery were arrested at Moa-

They are charged with the murder of
their father, David j. Atterbery, who
was found Monday afternoon in the

The coroner's jury said the murder by
the two sons was premeditated. There
is so far only circumstantial evidence
against them, but it is very strong.
The children have been bitterly OPP
posed to the marriage of the old man
with widow that he was going to see,
and there have been many family quar-
rels. 1t is generally believed that this

me Greatest Strike the state Has Ever
Known is Threatened.
TERRE HAUTE, Nov. 27.--Tho delegate
committee of striking miners of Indiana
met here Wednesday to discuss the pres
ent stil1e, and representatives were pres
ent from all parts of the state. Presi-
dent Rae and Vice President Penna. of
the National Miners organization, were
also on hand, as were the state and dis
trict officials. 1t was a notable gather
ing, in consequence Of an offer proposed
by President Talley, of the State Blum
inous operators. that a committee of the
operators meet the miners officials.
Hope was entertained that a settle
mcnt of the trouble might be had, and
the convention adjourned pending the
holding of this joint conference.
AT o'clock in the afternoon Presi-
dent Rea and Vice President Penna, at
the head of the miners representatives,
met the committee of operators at Mr..
Talley's office. At once the operators
said they understood the subject of
wages was not to be discussed. This
statement astonished the miners Off
Cials, who. after remarking that there
was ub bjiltl NNbJtIt ull wages W uG
discussed, picked up their hats and left.
Vice Presi lent Penna, speaking for the
miners, said: up till this meeting
with the operators had some hope Of
a settlement, but now | have none. We
have nothing to do now but to fight it
out. 1t is simply question Of endur-
ance. What the operators mean by ask
ing a conference at all is not known to
me. We are as far apart as ever, and
there seems TO be no way of avoiding a
measuring Of strength. We were sin
cerely desirous of a settlement if it could
be had ON honorable terms"
The national organization will now in
dOrse the strike in Indiana and will vote
it financial assistance. On the one hand
will be personal hardships by the miners;
on the other viii be financial loss by the
operators.
The delegate convention reassembled
Thursday morning, and a report Of the
unsatisfactory interview with the oper-
ators was made. The strike will now
be renewed with redoubled vigor, and
will be fought out TO the bitter end. 1t
will be, without doubt, the greatest
miners strike that ever occurred in
Indians.
