Four Persons Burned to Death.

WASHINGTON, Pa, May 30.-One of
the most terrible accidents occurred at
Taylorston that has happened in this
county for years. This morning at 1
o'clock the house Of Henry Phillips
caught fire and before the inmates could
be taken out they were all burned to
death. The victims we're George Hert-
ner, Henry Phillips, Mrs. Henry Phillips
and Clinton Clides. The family and
those boarding IN the house had been
drinking till a late hour. The SUPPOSE
ton in regard to the fire is that Hertner
had left a basket on the stove and the
sparks set the carpet on fire. The coro-
ner arrived at the scene and held an in
quest, and the verdict was that the VIC
Tins came to their death by the burning
of a.. Phillips house, caused by excess
i've use of liquors by the inmates Of the
house.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 29.-The following
is the bulletin issued by DR.. Powell:
$40 p. m.-Sir John Macdonald has
suffered a relapse. He is quite con-
scious, but his condition is most critical.
AWAITING THE End.
OTTAWA, Ont, May 29.-Sir John Mac
Donald suffered a stroke of paralysis.
He is conscious, but unable to speak or
move. His condition has created a SEN
sation in political circles. AS soon as it
became known the house adjourned. In
moving adjournment Sir Hector Lange-
vine said he had just received the news
that the first minister had a relapse and
could not last much longer. Hon. Will.
fred Laurier, under the sad circum-
stances, seconded the motion. The
country, he said, would be shocked to
learn the sad news. He saw the impos-
sibility of proceeding with public bust
ness. Nearly all the ministers are now
at Earnscliff, awaiting the end.

PLENTY HORSES ACQUITTED.
The Indian Who Shot Lieutenant Case,
Allowed to Go Free.

Inc And1an who Shot Lieutenant Casey
Allowed to Go Free.
Sioux FALLS, S. d., May 28.-The de-
tense in Plenty Horses trial this morn
ing reported to the court that their case
could not be continued until Living
Bear, father of the prisoner, should be
brought in. A deputy marshal, with a
bench warrant, is now at Pine Ridge, to
secure him. The defense offered to con-
tinue at once, however, if the prosecution
would admit the testimony of Captain
Llewellyn of Sioux City, as it was given
at the former trial. This was to the effect
that the prisoner had told him that Casey
had threatened, during a ride on the
morning of his death, to destroy Red
Clouds camp. The prosecution agreed
to this. This afternoon the court charged
b jury to bring in a verdict acqultting
Plenty Horses, and it was done, and he is
now free.
The Cheyenne scout, White Moon, at
tempted suicide here at noon by stabbing
himself in the neck. He Is in charge Of
doc. ors, and it is thought he will recover.
He has been here two months as a wit
ness in Plenty Horses trial and is said to
be homesick and respondent.
No inkling of tie sudden termination of
the case had been given and at 2 O'Clock
when the court convened, the attorneys
were preparing to commence their argu-
ment when Judge Siras said: "There is
no need of going any further with this
case. What I shall say is the opinion of
this court, but not Of my colleague. It
is said on my own responsibility"
The Judge then read in substance that
the guilt or innocence of accused turned
upon the question as to whether or not
state of actual war existed at the time
of Casey's death. In the opinion of the
court it has been shown beyond doubt
that such state of war did exist. Immedi-
ately upon adjournment, Plenty Horses
was surrounded by ladies and
other spectators, who shook
hands with him for some time,
after which Attorney Porter, with
a beaming face, led his still silent and
undemonstrative client to his hotel,
where Plenty Horses spent some time
writing autographs for the ~bystanders.
The testimony given by Captain Bald
win, an aide of General Miles. was an i'm
portant feature in establishing the i'm
portant fact as to a war. He came with
all the official papers from the war de-
partment, bearing upon the circum-
stances previous to and at the time of
Casey's death, and although the docu-
ments had only been offered by the de-
Tense and their admission has not yet
been decided by the court, the captains
W testimony was of the same charac-
ter.

Important English Affairs.


LONDON, May 29,-A measure Of the
Importance OF the Behring Sea bill is
rarely read the first time in the house of
commons without the ministers afford
ing the house fuller particulars than
they vouchsafed to-day regarding its pro
visions. The members listened with
strained attention to Smith, expecting to
learn the terms of the agreement with
the Washington government, and great
was their disappointment when he
stopped short, after uttering a formal re-
quest for permission to bring in a bill, to
enable the queen, by order in council to
make a special provision to prohibit the
catching of seals in the Behring sea by
her majesty's subjects during the period
the ministers in the lobby elected moth

awaiting final responses from Washing.
surance that the arrangement already
secured harmonizes the action of the
British government with that of the
American government. The other min
isteral members expressed themselver as
certain that the measure will meet with
no adverse criticisms either in the house
or in the country and that it will lead to
a permanent settlement of the dispute.
Though the period of prohibition is I'M
derstood to be one year, the
elastic nature of an order in council will
empower the government to make further
extension. SIS many members were dis
cussing the situation in the Hobbies and
in the smoking room that the house
could not proceed with business, and it
was counted out early in the evening.

Salisbury is pledged to pass. The min

Foundland difficulty by any means settled
though they admit that the dispute
between the home government and the
colony is for a time eased. Lord Sails
bury spoke with hesitancy of the situa-
ton. He declared that the house of
commons was now pledged to support
any future legislation necessary to carry
out the treaty obligations, but he added
that as to the immediate result of the
proceeding of the house of commons he
must speak with reserve, as he did not
know how the French govern

CoNsTANTINoPLE. June ga party of
brigands neal Teheresk yesterday placed
distractions across the railroad and sue
ceeded in derailing the eastern express.
When the brigands had thus brought the

lists among the passengers, one of them

tives, andkC Chancellor Won Caprivi tele-
graphed to Herr Von Radowitz, the Ger
man ambassador here, authorizing him to
advance the amount. The remaining
passengers were despoiled of their be-
longings and were then left alone. The
place where the act of ~brigandage &C.
occurred lies between this city and Adri-
anople. The band which made the attack
on the train numbered thirty men, led by
the noted robber Anastisus. The ,bri-
gands first seized the Waterman on duty
at the railroad station, and when they
had prevented him from giving the
alarm, they set to work and tore up the
rails for some distance. They set no
warming signal for the engineer of the
train, but allowed the cars to dash on
to possible destruction. When the east
ern express reached the spot, the engine
tumbled over on its side, drag
ging over with it the tender,
baggage car and all the third
class passenger coaches. The frst-class
passenger cars, luckily, did not follow
the other part of the train, but remained
safely on the road. When the train was
thus disabled the brigands rushed for
ward, uttering loud yells and brandish-
ing their guns in the most threatening
and boarded the cars. Several
of the passengers resisted the attack
made on them by the hrigands, who re-
piled with a volley from their guns and
dangerously wounded one man who
sought to repulse them. The outlaws
finally overcame the occupants of the
cars and proceeded to plumber them,
stripping the travellers of all their valua-
bles and looting their baggage. When
the brigands ended their work of rob-
berry, they seized four of the passen-
gers in the first class cars and also the
engineer Of the train and then started
with their captives for their rendezvous
in the mountains. The men carried
away by the outlaws we're Oscar Creiger,
Herr Israel, a banker of Berlin, Herr
Maorel, a landowner Of Siegelsdorff,
Bavaria, Herr Oscar Kotyschof Zorbig,
Prussian Saxony, and Freundizer, the
engineer of the eastern express. Upon
reaching their retreat the bandits sent
Herr Israel to get a ransom of $4,000
which they demanded for the release of
the prisoners. Herr Won Radowitz
claims the port will refund this money.

New YORK, May ga private letter

of Mexico, written May 10Th by a bust
ness man who has ample facilities for

much reason to believe the Mexican au-
thorities are giving aid to the CHILEAN in

umo of a secret treaty between Mexi-

Inc captain OF the ESmer-
aida in an interview a few days ago said
that it was not his intention to take coal
by force or he would have done so be-
fore. He said that he was not in a hurry
to leave port but was waiting for instruc-
tions. One of the other officers of the
Esmeralda in a conversation held in a

EFFECT OF THE STRIKE.

The Starving Coke Workers Are Applying
for Work, but Are Refused at Every
Plant. '-
ScoTTDALE, Pa, May 2S.-The rush of
the old men for work at the various plants
Continues. In most instances, however,
they are turned off with an excuse and
given to understand that their services
are not needed. Hundreds of old miners
are drifting from one plant to another
in the vain hope of finding work, but ev-
erywhere they go they are met with the
same statement, "No work now" This
simply means that a blacklist has gone
through the regions and a man refused at
one plant is certain to be refused at
another. AS a result, they
are either preparing to leave the district
for another field or are drifting aimlessly
about, and more homes have been broken
up by the strike that has just closed than
by all the strikes that have preceded this
most gigantic failure. Reports are com
ing in hourly Of the hopeless restitution
OF hundreds Of families. Heretofore
many of them have been given credit at
the stores owing to the idea that at some
time or other they would return to work,
When the operators refused them work,
however, they were at their wits ends.
With no work, nc supplies and no cred
it, hundreds of them are in a far worse
condition than they we're at any time
during the strike. Hundreds of others
are living in bare subsistence and had it
not been for their poor garden product,
that every miner takes pride in, before
this they would have been obliged to do
more than ask their neighbors for tenn
porary assistance.
