Three Starved Children Eaten by q
Mother and Elder Sister.
PINE Cry, MIMI, July II. "A fishing
party from this city have just returned
from the pine forests of Snake river,
bringing with them a wild woman and
her ~1G-year-old daughter. The daughter
tells a story Of terrible suffering and
privation. She says that the husband
and father of the family was eaten by
wolves while in an intoxicated condition
last March. Since that time they have
had no food in their humble cabin. The
three younger children died of starva-
ton and were cooked and eaten n by
one by the mother and eldest daughter.
Ire mothers mind finally gave away
and she is now a raving maniac. They
were taken to the county jail, where
they will be provided for pending an
investigation, as it is thought that in
all probability one or more Of the chill
dren were murdered by the demented
mother.

ALMOST READY TO CUT,

Wheat and Onts R%ipenihg Slowly, but
Filling Out Well.
ST. PAUL, July 16.-The Pioneer Press
says: The harvest of rye and barley
has commenced in the vicinity of Red
wood Falls, Minn, and next week wheat
and oats will be ready for the reaper.
The yield Of small grain promises to be
the heaviest for years. In the vicinity
of Beaver Falls barley will soon be
ready to cut. Wheat and oats are rip
ening slowly, but the heads are filling
to the tips. The Warren correspondent
wires: "The grasshopper scare is over.
They appear only in few locations and
are now nearly all gone. It is claimed
that q certain species of parasite is kill
ing them, as they have not laid egg
yet. 1t will leave the country safe for
next year."
In North and South Dakot
Heavy rains have fallen in the vicin.
ity of Devils Lake and Michigan City,
N. D., but no damage has been done to
crops. Barley and wheat are heading
out finely, and the prospect for a heavy
yield was never SO bright. Crops around
Dickinson are now beyond all climatic
influences other than hail and rust, and
they have never presented a more
promising appearance. Wheat will be
ready for harvest within two or three
weeks.
Crops around Ordway, S. D., are i'm
proving since the recent rains, but some
large wheat fields have been so badly
damaged that they will be cut fer feed.

RELEASED PRISONERS.

Tennessee Miners Turn Loose a Gang Of
Convicts Employed in Coal Mines.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 16. About
forty convicts employed as miners by
the Tennessee Mining company at
Briceville, and Anderson company,
were released early in the morning.
Two hundred and fifty armed miners
and indignant citizens went to the
mines and took the ~convicts' guards.
No violence wa offered. but the con-
victs were told they could go free if
they wished. Two of them wanted
liberty and left, but the others. fearing
capture and not having a change Of
clothes, refused the offer.
The coal company officials claim that
they were forced to employ convict
labor and shall ask the lessees OF the
penitentiary and the state to protect
them in the contract recently made.
The governor, with two companies of
militia are ON their way to the scene of
the trouble, and as $50 convicts are ex-
pected to arrive at the mine in the
morning the matter may result in
bloodshed.

NINA IS MARRIED.,

The Proxy Wife of the Dead Anarchist
Takes q Real Live Husband.
CHICAGO, July 17.-Miss NinAean
Zandt was married during the AFTER
noon at the residence of her parents,
No. 221 Schiller street, to Signor Saliva
tore Stefano Malato, of Palermo, Italy.
Only a few intimate friends and rela-
tives of the couple were present at the
ceremony. Miss Van Zandt has now for
the first time told the. true but romantic
story of her love for August Spies, and
OF her strange proxy marriage to the
leader of the Chicago anarchists, who
with others went to an ignominous
death on the gallows. This story was
called out by the published statement
of Captain Black, principal counsel for
Spies, denying that he proposed the
marriage scheme in order to create
sympathy for his client. Miss Van
Zandt declares that she was coerced
by Captain Black to enact the dramatic
part she took in the anarchist tragedy.
She deeply regrets the step she took, and
says it was the folly Of an impression
able and sentimental schooling, over
persuaded by a lawyer with a glib
tongue.

PHILADELPHIA, July 16.-The experts
appointed by Mayor Stuart, who have
been for many weeks Investigating the
accounts both private and official of ex-
City Treasurer John Bardsley, have
completed their labors and made their
final report. One portion of the report
made by the experts consisted of a
minute and carefully detailed account
OF all John Bardsley's dealings in stock
through his brokers, Robert Glenden-
ming & Co., and other sources. With
very few exceptions all the money of
the deals was secured by checks on the
deposit Of public money in the Keystone
bank. The total stock bought through
~Clendenniny & Go. amounted to S1O5,-
732. Is; from William H. Kemble, $780,
687. so, and that bought through the
Peoples bank, $16,S $50. The recapitula-
ton of losses through Clendenning &
Go. was $102, 1872. IL; through William
=. kelnble, $50, 927. 40, and through the
Peoples bank, $l6, $50, a total OF Sl7O,-
o69. 63. Bardsley's total gains on this
stock transaction were $3.50, 49, SO and
the net loss was 1884, 45S. Loans were
made by Baldsley with public money to
ROBERT ClenuennlnS q Co., amounting
to $500, 900 which were repaid to him.
He received from C~lendenning & Co.,
as interest on loans, $13, 026.3 81. He
loaned the Bradford mills cash to the
amount Of $375, 700. 70, which does not
appear to have been returned. There
are other and smaller loans which were
made by Mr.. Bardsley from time to
time to different persons. The account
between the state and city is gone into
very fully and, leaving the due-bills on
the Keystone bank, amounting to $685.
0O0 out, the total net deficiency is $685.
836. 35: with the due-bills added IS Just
that much more. Of the due-bills, how
ever, the experts state they have a we'll
grounded suspicion that they are not
genuine and to settle the question must
have free access to the books of the
K0ystOne hank.

many of the farmers were in a state of

storm destroyed nearly the entire crops

of the farmers are poor, the outlook is
dark for them. Governor Peck is not in
the city and is averse to issueing a gen.
