and soon got control of what promised at
the outset to be an extensive blaze. The

His victim, young woman, lies on

age, entered the saloon mentioned with
O'Neil, about IL O'Clock in the evening.
and asked for drinks.
The couple were served several times
by the bartender, and were then left to

on the floor in pool OF blood while the

Bandits Captured.
SAN ANTONIO Tex June 2S.-The bold
est attempt at train robbery that ever oc-
Cured in Texas took place this afternoon
near Breckenridge. The affair resulted
IN the killing of +. N. Martin, fireman,
and the capture of one of the robbers,
who gives his name as j. D. May, a cow
boy.
The train was the San Antonio and
Aransas Pass passenger, which left here
at 1:2O At Breckenridge the train was
stopped to take water and as she pulled
out Robber May climbed on the ten
der, and, with pistol in each hand,
ordered the engineer and fireman
to throw up their hands. Engi-
neer Tierney obeyed, but Martin made
a movement as though he was about to
secure pistol. The robber began pour
ing lead into Martin, keeping Tierney
covered all the time. Martin fell dead,
and his body rolled onto the track, where
it was run over.
The other two robbers, when they saw
the dead body fall out Of the cab, jumped
from their position on the baggage-car
and made for the brush. Robber Nav
jumped into the cab and ordered Engi-
neer Tierney to run the train across the
Indian River bridge. Instead of COM
plying he put on the air-brakes and the
train came to a stand-still.
With parting shot at the engineer the
robber jumped from the engine and
started up the track on hard run. Con-
ductor Steele rushed into the engine. and
cutting loose from the train started with
the messenger and Engineer Tierney in
pursuit. Finding he could not escape
over the bridge, the robber took to the
brush. Conductor Steele started single
handed and chased him, firing as he
went. Three robbers at the bridge COM
menced firing, and the volleys were re-
turned by the engineer and messenger.
Conductor Steele overhauled May and
disarmed him Of his two pistols.
The robbers at the bridge disappeared,
leaving Winchester behind. A United
States Marshal and posse went down on a
special train. and are now in pursuit.

LONDON, June 28.-A dispatch 10 the
Times from Bangkok, the Capital of
Siam, says the French gunboat Lutin ia
anchored i'll the river opposite the center
OF bangkok and has made preparations
to fire upon the city. The topmasts of the
gunboat have been struck and guns have
been mounted in the fighting tops.
The French Admiral in his flagship is
expected to arrive in Siamese waters
from Saigon.
The dispatch adds, though most anxious
to maintain friendship with the French,
Siam is quietly determined to resist ag-
gression and is preparing for any contin-
gency.
The defenses of the country prove
stronger than expected. Three ships
have been sunk at the entrance of the.
Menam, river on which Bangkok is
situated, about twenty miles from it's
mouth. This reduces the channel to the
narrowest limits possible for use, and the
Government is ready at moments no.
tice to complete the block to prevent the
lngress and egress of vessels.

O'Neil was soon after captured. He
denied having killed the woman, but an
indication of his foul work, and which
will go hard against the prisoner, is the
fact that his right wrist and hand and the
sleeve of his coat were covered with
blood.
LATER-The victim of the murder has
been identified as Mrs. Kate Critics, wife

of The Central Traffic Association in ex-
tending the time of excursion tickets,
says unless the arrangement is discontin-
ued it will begin to cut rates. The other
roads say they will pay no attention to
the Grand Trunk.
The stand taken by the Atchison re-
garding lower rates has had good effect,
and several roads to-day admitted that
they thought the present rates too high.
The matter will probably be arranged at
special meeting of the Western Associa-
ton soon. When arranged the rates will
be one fare for the round trip from all

GERMAN ELECTIONS.
Complete Reports From All the Con-

stituencieSs
BERLIN, June 27.-Reports were re-
ceived to-day of complete returns from
all the 397 ELECTORAL constituencies Of the
empire. The exact numerical relations
OF the parties, nevertheless, is still in
doubt, as several candidates have re-
served their decision concerning the
military demand of the Government.
The situation is further complicated by
the rejection of returns in five constit-
ueucies, where Irregularities vitiated the
elections. One of these constituencies is
in Jerichow, where Count Herbert Bis
marck was supposed to have been elected.
If these constituencies are allowed ac-
cording to the returns the list is divided
generally thus:
Clericals 81. Social Democrats 45, Con-
servatives II, Conservatives %, National
Liberals %, Guelphs s, Alsatians L, Anti
Semites II, Richter Radicals %, Radical
Unionists Y, Poles -, Independent Cleri-
Gals IL, Bavarian Peasants, League 2,
South German Democrats II, Danes i. OF
these 199 are counted tor the army bill
and lS5 against it. Thirteen are classed
as doubtful.

VALLEJO, June 2S.-While preparing

for painting this morning, Breed and
Austin, two painters, were badly burned
by the explosion of gasoline lamp. At
the time of the explosion the painters
were opposite the second-story window
burning off the paint. The flames set
fire to the clothes of both men, who
jumped through the windows into the
schoolroom. School Director Wilder was
passing, and rushed into the school
house, and throwing water over Austin,
put the fire out, thereby saving his life.
Breed smothered the fire of his own
clothes, but is terribly burned about the
head, neck, arms and hands. A physi-
clan was summoned, who pronounced
the injuries to be extremely serious in
the case Of Austin.

lowing regulations for the manage
nent and conduct of the exposition
Sundays: On each and every Sunday
the operation of the machinery in Ma
chinery hall and elsewhere shall be
suspended as far as practicable. Exhis-
itors and employees shall be relieved
from duty except 30 far as their pres
ence is essential and necessary for the
protection of property and the public
peace, but all employees whose services
are required Sunday shall be given one
day of rest during the week. Religious
services may be held each Sunday in
Choral and Music halls at such hours as
shall be designated and named by the
council of administration, and said
council shall have authority to arrange
for such services. The fee of admis-
sion on Sunday is fixed at fifty cents"
The board also voted to return the

government, and the decision was
placed in the form of a rule to be forth
with submitted to the national COM
mission. 1t is said that many of the
commissioners are pleased with the
boards action and the chances for a
seven days fair are increasing.
In the meantime the people flock out
to the fair grounds on Sunday and poke
about as if they entertained hopes of
being by some special dispensation of
the fair officials permitted to enter.
Finding the turnstiles immovable they
wander off to the sideshows and scatter
their small change among the one-horse
vendors of creature comforts who ply
their callings on Sunday as we'll as any
other day. There are shows of various
kinds in the neighborhood of the fair,
merry-go-rounds, roller-coasters and the
like. and these do thriving business
when the crowds rebound from the
barred entrances of the fair.
The work in the grounds still goes
on ON Sunday, and the workmen are
doubtless glad that the people are kept
out one day in the week, so that they
can work undisturbed for few hours
at ia stretch. The exhibits are all rapidly
nearing completion and in the course
ola few days the noise of the carpenters
will have entirely ceased in most Of the
buildings.
The restaurant question is not fully
settled as yet, and the lunch basket is
still popular institution with the
people. They are bound to stick it out,
aud if things keep on as they are some
of the restaurant keepers are going to
be bankrupted. There has been great
reduction in prices in some of the eat
ing houses. however, and with those
who have made the reduction trade is
getting better, and by the time the
summer crowd commences to pour in
this trouble will be practically settled.
