AN AWFUL FATE.
A Woman Eaten by Her Starv-
ing Companions.

The CaPsizIng of the Brig Tahiti
in the Pacific Ocean ana the
Fate of Those Who Were In am
Open Boat.
SAN Francisco, July 20 According to a
story told by Leon Martell, who. has ar
rived here from San Diego, two of those
supposed to have been drowned by the
capsizing OF the brig Tahiti escaped death
and were seen by Martell in April about 60
miles from Manzanilla, Mexico. The Ia
hiti had cargo of 300 Gilbert Islanders,
who were being taken to the coffee planta-
tions in Central America and Martell says
hew was told by Felix Johnson, one of the
survivors, that when the brig capsized,
October 10th, the latter and four islanders,
including woman, alone succeeded in leav-
ing tine vessel. They were sixteen days in
an open boat without food or water. The
woman died on the fourth day and the
men ate portions of her flesh to keep them
selves alive. One of the islanders became
insane and jumped overheard and a third
died. Johnson and the fourth islander
finally succeeded in making shore and were
cared for by fishermen.

BERLIN, July 2O.-Szartlistok pub
fishes the details of the Saratoff riots.

reports of cholera invented by the doctors,
waited for pretext for a riot. A Young

A friend tried to protect him and both
were stoned to death. Their bodies were
horribly mangled, The mob then spread
over the city, wrecking hospitals, houses
of doctors, hotels and apothecary shops,
releasing cholera patients, nurses, etc.
They were cruelty beaten and deadly at
tacks were made on hospital attendants
and surgeons. The imperilled men begged
fer mercy on their knees, but the mob pitt
lessly killed all they could find. When
the troops we're summoned the mob stoned
them. The troops fired yolleys into their
midst killing and wounding many. The
troops were then distributed throughout
the town. The cathedral was guarded

Leah or The Forsaken," by Dr. S. Mo-
senthal. A new edition of this great ro-
nance is opportunely issued by T. b. Pc
terson & Brothers in their new 25 cent Sc
ries. 1t deals in mastery style with a sub
ject that is engaging the attention of the
civilized world, and shows that the per-
secution TO which the Jewish people are
being subjected in certain countries is by
no means new for the information which
it imparts upon the topic, which is but lit
tie understood in this country, the book is
invaluable. The character Of Leah is a
perfect embodiment Of heroic purity and
love, and in the dramatic version has been
made famous by Miss Bateman, Sarah
Bernhardt and other queens Of the stage.

Everything is Quiet - Charges of
Murder I'm Various Degrees.

PITTsBURG, July 2O.-Fifty noh-union
men started for the Carnegie Union mills
this morning and were at once surrounded
by strikers and the situation looked seri-
Gus for time, but the non-unioh men
were finally persuaded not to enter the
mills.
Judge MCGEE this morning held the Of
fense of Burgess McLuckie, one Of the
strikers, was not murder in the first degree
and, therefore, was bailable. Counsel for
defense sought to have bail for those for
whom warrants are out, saying they would
then surrender themselves. The judge de-
clined TO fix the bail, saying some Of the
men wanted might be guilty Of murder in

ALMOST LYNCHED.
Narrow Escape Of a Farmer And
His Wife.
Suspected OF Numbering a BOY.-A
CIatFVOyanI's Malicious Lie.
The Town stirred up as Never BE
fOre.-A Threat.


CRAwFoRDsvILLE, Ind, July 20 The
mysterious disappearance of boy came
near causing a lynching here. Lowell
Daniels, nine-year-old orphan, who was
given home by John Dodd, a farmer,
mysteriously disappeared from a corn
field wherein he had been pulling weeds.
Todd reported the fact to his neighbors
and made casual inquiry. DOdd and his
wife are exceedingly unpopular in the
neighborhOod and it was whispered about
that Dodd had killed the lad and disposed
of the body. So plausible was the theory
that an indignation meeting was held, and
the neighbors, being very superstitious,
sent committee to consult Mrs. Crow,
notorious clairvoyant, on the subject She
said that young Daniels, with his head
crushed to a jelly, was secreted beneath
brush pile near an unused cabin, which she
was unable to locate. The committee
swallowed the lie and in great excitement
rushed home to make their report. The
population turned out and every straw
stack brush heap and cabin for miles
around was carefully examined. The creek
was dragged for miles, but no murdered
boy was found.
Warrants were sworn out for Dodd and
his wife, Harry Dodd, his nephew, and A.
Rice, farm hand who they thought was
implicated. When the officers went to
make the arrest they found that
a crowd of neighbors had collected
at Dood's with ropes, and being unfriendly
to him anyhow were bent upon lynchipg.
During the parley that ensued Alfred Har-
rison, farmer living in an isolated neigh
borhoOd some four miles distant, arrived
and informed the angry mob he had found
the boy at play the day before, but had
been busy, and, knowing nothing of the
port his find. The crowd was angry and
having great faith in the words of Mrs.
Grow, would certainly have swung him up.
1t is now Dodd's turn. He proposes to
make some of the ringleaders very sorry
for their part in the affair

Grnndlntnnr,a ~.

The republican emblem, this year, viii
be Grandiather's Hat. The pictures usually
printed in the papers, represent a fearful
and wonderful thing. We do not believe
that Harrison's grandfather ever wore
such a thing, and we enter our protest
against 1t. We saw Martin Van Buren,.
in lS43, and his hat came near filling the
specifications Of this picture, but even that
was not such a monstrosity. We saw Old
Tippecanoe in 184O, and stuck as closely to
him as boys do TO a circus band wagon,
and took his dimensions from crown to
toe. We believe we should know him If
we saw him today. The hat he wore was
shaped much Ike the plug hat of today
that is, it was regular cylinder, without
any bulge or bell-crown, but not as high as
plug hat; rather a half-plug. The hat
was made Of some light material, colored
black either Of the palm-leaf or Panama
order, or some light woven fabric, the
weather being very warm. The old gem
erals form was tall and square built, his
face long and thin; he had full head of
hair; only moderately gray for a man Of
his age and in frontit was somewhat long,
and was not combed back from his fore
head d.-Troy Chief (Kansas).

WAsHINeToN, July 2O.-The president
returned to the senate without his approval
a bill to amend the act as to the circuit
court of appeals in the cases of Indian

appeal be allowed in such cases. There
are 30,900 such claims, aggregating $50, ,OOO,-

RUSSELL ROASTED.
The Presidents Son Tackled by a
House Committee.

An ENAueht Ease OF EOAINiCs uH
Democratic Investigating COm-
mittee in order TO BesmIrch the
President.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.-The sub-commit-
tee on public lands submitted to the house
committee on public lands which was in
structed to examine and report as to the
circumstances under which certain lots Of
ground in the Yellowstone National Park
were made in March, 1889, by the secretary
of the interior to the Yellowstone Park AS
sociation in leases to transport passengers
in the park, which were afterwards rescind-
ed and the same granted to one D. S.
Huntley. The forfeiture Of the right of
transportation in the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park Association was made without
notice, without trial or any statement Of
any complaints for non use or misuse of
right. Wakefield, who had conducted the
transportation, says the report, is a demo-
crat and Huntley, a republican and per-
sonal and political friend of Russell b.
Harrison, son of the president The
secretary says Huntley was rec
commended to him by several senators
and congressman and once or twice by
Russell Harrison. The committee are
unable to find how the public service in
the least was promoted by the forfeiture.
In another connection the report speaks
of the friendships existing between Har-
rison and r.. Q. Waters the latter having
stated to Gibson, president of the associ-
alton that he and Harrison were old friends
in Montana and he thought he could get
him to aid him in arranging matters.
Waters testimony is plainly evasive and
with an evident desire to shield Harrison's
name. In conclusion the report has the
following TO say in respect.to Russell Har-
rison: 1t may be remarkable in
monarchy that an heir-apparent should
strive to influence official actions, but in a
republic there being no heir-apparent the
co-existence of facts warrants a conclusion
that the presidents son is influential only
in that capacity when called upon to ex-
ert, does exert influence for corporations
dealing with great department Of the
government and about the same time
So 900 of the stock is sought to be set aside
for this same son. This cOincident stands
out for legislative condemnation, having
escaped official criticism by the executive
department"

New Invention OF Treating ores.

ALBU QUERoUE, N. M, July 2O.--There
are large bodies Of ores in the Manzano
and sandia mountains which contain gold
and silver enough to make them valuable,
we're it not for their refractory" charac-
ter. The mine and mine owners Of this
vicinity are generally of the opinion that
the problem Of reduction has been solved
at last by process which treats such ores
in some way by electricity. The process Is
similar TO that for refining sugar. 1t is the
| invention of New York man. The ore Is
not smelted but is pulverized and "roast-
ed - then put into an electric bath several
hours when the metal becomes free and is
saved bY water and quicksllYer.

Alleged Price of Her Allegiance 10
Ihe Republican Party.


TACOMA, July 20,-It is confidently be-
lieYed in Eastern Washington, says a
sprague dispatch, that King county will
make the price Of her allegiance to the re-
publican party this fall the endorsement of
the Lake Washington canal infamy by the
approaching state convention. King coun-
ty demanded in 854 that the republican
convention recommend the forfeiture of
the Northern Pacific land grant, and when
the convention refused to do so, King
county defeated the nominee. Again in
1886, on the same issue, King county de-
feated Charles M. Bradshaw. 1t Is said
that Leigh Hunt, of the ePost-Intelligencer,
who is interested in the Lake Washington
canal scheme, has declared that the scheme
'is not dead, but sleeping" +" and that his
paper will support no man for congress
from Pierce county, where the scheme is
violently opposed. In lending support to
this scheme Senator Allen has, in the esti-
nation of the people of Eastern Washing
ton, greatly impaired his chances for re-
election
