story of the drowned mans duplicity was
unfolded. Mrs. Schorr No. says she was

waiting for her he took passage for San
Francisco. With him came Miss Taylor.

A Murderer at Ray in Rarn-

HANOVER, n. H., Aug. 2O.-Frank G..
Amy, murderer of Christie Warden, was
discovered in Wardon's barn this morning.
Amy fired fifteen shots at his pursuers
slightly injuring one of them. They now
are debating how to dislodge the murderer,
who will be promptly shot. Empty meat
and oyster cans and beer bottles were
found which would indicate that Amy has
been hiding in the barn ever since the muir
der. Fifteen hundred people are around
the barn. Some favored burning Almy out
and while they were talking about what to
do the beseiged man said he would sur
render to the sheriff if they would allow
him to be taken into custody and not kill
him. Although the excitement was high
the crowd assented to this, and the
sheriff offered to take Amy to iail.
Almy now refuses to come out of the barn
as he promised to do if guaranteed protec-
tion. He sent for Solicitor Mitchell
whom he wanted to come up in
the barn. Mitchell did so, but the
result of the conference was that Almy
refused to come out. At / o'clock deci-
sion was reached by the citizens committee
to catch Almy unawares, shoot him. and
thus put an end to what is becoming q
farce. When this conclusion was made
known 1t was greeted with yell of delight
by the people who, though strongly inclined
to let the law take its course, have lost pa-
thence. The officers attacked the barn with
Winchester rifles and Almy retallated with
shot after shot from his revolver. AT / 40
pm. Almy was overpowered and taken to
the Wheelock house where he was confined.
Half dozen officers with drawn reyolvers
stand at the foot of the stairs holding back
the excited crowd.
Almy says there is nothing in his past ca
reer that Is bad except he gambled some
He will probably be arraigned to-morroy.
In an interview this evening he said he
killed Christie but had no intention Of com
hitting any other crime. After he
killed her he went direct to MIR.

body brought to the house and had full
view of the funeral. He has been about
the premises ever since, making frequent
visits to her grave by night and moving
about for necessary food.

MT. MoGREGoR, N. Y, Aug. 20-On the
arrival of the presidential party this after
noon the President proceeded to the cot
tage of w. j. Arkell. In honor of the
President Arkell had arranged for pleas
ant birthday dinner at Hotel Balmoral, and
about l2O guests participated, including
Commander in Chief Palmer, of the Grand
Army OF the Republic, Spencer Trask and
John A. Sleicher. Shortly before o'clock
Mr.. Arkell arose and said: 1.-The Presi-
dent, on account of his worn lungs and
throat is solicitious that this be a Quaker
meeting, one of unspoken eloquence. Let
me say, however that this being the fifty
eighth birthday of the President, we can
properly extend to him our heartiest and
most sincere wishes. His administration
will be known in the hereafter, not so
much as Republican administration as an
American administration" TCheers.
President Harrison. in replying, said: at
was part of the covenant that this feast
should be silent one, not exactly Quaker
meeting as Mr.. Arkell has said, because
silence there is apt to be broken by the
moving of the spirit That is not safe for a
banquet. Laughter.
I'VE are gathered here on spot which is
historic. This mountain has been fixed in

all our people and has been glorified by the
death, on its summit, of General
Ulysses S. Grant. Applause 1t
is fit that the great spirit that
already has lifted its fame to a height IN
known in American history should take it's
flight from this mountain top. 1t has been
said that great life went out here, but
great lives like that of General Grant do
not go out These go on. Cries of good,
and great applause. | will ask you in
reverence and affectionate and patriotic
remem brance of that man who came to
recover all failures in military
achievement and with his great general
ship and infexible purpose to carry
the flag of the republic to ultimate
triumph, recalling with reverent interest
his memory, to drink toast in silence as
pledge that we will ever keep in mind his
great services, and in doing so perpetuate
his great citizenship and the glory of the
nation he tough to save.n

Results of the Martinique Hurricane.

PARIS, Aug 20.-Official advices received
here this afternoon announce the calamity
which visited Martinique was the most
severe since the year 1917. So far as can
be learned there were nearly if not quite
sixty deaths as result of the hurricanes
visit, but it will be some time before the
full extent of the disaster is known. At
Fort de France alone there were twelve
lives lost and at both Fort de France and
St. Pierre, to say nothing of the country
districts, there were large numbers of peo
pie injured. At ST. Pierre five persons are
known to have been killed, but it is feared
this number does not represent the entire
loss of life in the capital. Communication
with different parts of the island was never
an easy matter, and 1t is excessively
difficult TO get detailed news at
present. AS reports from various
sections reach st. Pierre il becomes evil
dent the extent of the hurricanes devas
tation has not been much exaggerated.
Destruction of property and loss of life are
reported from all parts of the coast. The
latest report received at ST. Pierre from
Lamentin shows ten victims in that place
alone, in addition to a large number in
<red. At Francois there were sixteen
