Unsettled.

The large delegation of Towner citi-
zens who went to Grand Forks to ar
range for the return of the murderer
Bomberger, returned home disappoint-
ed, being unable to secure the order
from Judge Moran for his return. The
prisoner himself signed petition to the
judge, asking that he be taken back to
Cando for an immediate trial, saying
that he wants to shave the business
settled at once" This petition was
wired to Judge Morgan and Sheriff Nc
Cune and the sheriff of Towner county
returned, expecting that the judge
would order the prisoner taken back
for trial, but the order has not vet been
received. The judge stated that he
would go to Cando within few days to
determine if the condition of sentiment
there would warrant him in ordering an
extra term of court to try the murderer.
Cando people said that not citizen of
that county would molest Bomberger if
he were taken back there at once for
trial. All they want, they say, is the
vengeance of the law.

KILLED At A PICNIC.

Two Men Lose Their Lives by the Explo-
sion of Mortar for Shooting Fireworks
Bombs at Chicago.
CHICAGO, July 17.-By the explosion
of a finch mortar, loaded with heavy
charge of powder and a fireworks shell,
two men were Instantly killed,
two fatally injured and two
more slightly injured Sunday
night. Richard Marshall's head
was torn off and Michael Snow was in
stantly killed, his body being badly
torn and lacerated. The accident took
place at Sixty-ninth and Wood streets
at picnic given under the auspices of
the Society del Carlnine, an
italian organization belonging to
Father Machin's church, Sixty-ninth
and State streets. The immediate
cause of the explosion is not known.
Marshall was standing 100 feet from
the bomb rocking his babe in a car
riage. A piece of iron weighing about
thirty-five pounds completely severed
his head from his shoulders. The babe
was not injured.

CAN'T COME BACK.

Chinese Authorities Refuse to Allow Chi
nese Who Have Been Here Once to Re-
turn to the United States.
WASHINGTON, July IA letter re-
ceived at the state department from
Mr. Derby, the United States minister
to China. was accompanied by proc
lamation issued by the Chinese authori-
ties in which it was stated that 100, 600
Chinese who had returned to China from
the United States within the past year
would be prevented by the law from
again entering this country. An inves-
tigation by the treasury department
has developed that since 1883 less than
81. 200 Chinese have returned to their
native country and the exaggeration Of
the proclamation is still more appar-
ent when taken in consideration with
the well-known fact that only a small
proportion of Chinese leave this coun,
try with the intention of returning.

Six Persons Killed and Thirty Seriousl

Six Persons Killed and Thirty Seriously
Injured by an Accident in Spain.
MADRID. July IA dispatch from
Bilboa, capital of the province of Bis
caya, in northern Spain, says
that a terrible railroad accident
occurred in that province Friday
night. A train consisting of a
locomotive and six carriages, while
rounding a sharp curve in the moun-
tains, ran off the track and went over
a high precipice. Six persons were
killed and thirty seriously injured.
Many of the victims are men,
bers of the best Basque fam,-
lies. The provincial government
authorities and number of ply
sicians Rave started for the scene of the
accident Owing to the mountainous
character of the country and the fact
that the train fell into the val
ley it is extremely difficult to
get to the sufferers to relieve
them. The place where the train went
over the precipice is at the head of a val.
ley noted for its picturesqueness. 1t is
about midway between the villages Of
Auzuola and Vergara.

At meeting of the business men and
depositors at jamestown, Judge Rose
and ex-senator Casey, the committee
detailed to investigate the condition of
the James River National bank, re-
ported that the total assets amounted
to about $4,000 and the liabilities tc
about $l11.0oo. The banks paper, they
stated, was unusually good. The COM
mittee also reported that the depositors
representing so per cent of the demand
deposits and 80 per cent of the
time deposits had already signed an
agreement not to withdraw their de-.
posits.
Business at the bank is gong on as

SWELLING THE FUND.

About o100, 900 Raised So Far for the De.
pendents Of the Dead Chicago Firemen-
Small Attendance At the Fair on "He-
roes' Day." But Large Sum Realised
from the Sale Of Tickets.
CHICAGO, July 17.-Yesterday was the
last open Sunday at the Worlds Colum-
bian exposition. 1t was also the day
ON which the entire gate receipts Of the
worlds fair were to be devoted to the
relief fund OF the heroes who
lost their lives in the cold
storage fire while obeying orders.
Even the cause to which all Wis
itors contributed their portion failed to
bring out large crowd. Forty-nine
thousand four hundred and one persons
paid to enter the exposition gates Sum
day. There were 2.40S children's tick.
cts sold. This gives the fircmen's ben.
eft fund s24,O99.75. The tickets re-
ported do not represent the total
amount sold. for there were thousands
OF persons who took the opportunity
offered by purchasing admissions to
contribute to the relief fund but who
did not attend the fair. When all the
returns are in it is probable that $780,
600 will be added to the fund from this
source. The fund, exclusive of the sale
of tickets for the fair Oh Sunday, has
reached s79.2s7.
The amount raised for the sufferers
OF the cold-storage fire will be con-
siderably larger than the number
of visitors indicated, according to the
stories of re gatemen. Almost all
OF the ticket-sellers said that
many persons deposited dollars
for admission tickets and re-
fused to take the change. One man at
the Sixty-second street gate gave $50
for two tickets. He would give no
name, but said he was from New York
and was worshiper of heroes. Sew
eral other persons paid five dollars for
a ticket, and Superintendent Horace
Tucker received a large number of let
tcrs inclosing money for tickets from
persons who could not attend the fair.
In the afternoon 1900 people gath
cred in Festival hall. The platform was
draped with white and black cloth, ar
ranged in festoons. The chorus of 200
voices sat on the platform, and the
great organ was used for the first time
at Sunday service. w. L. Tomlins
led the chorus and Arthur Mees wa>
organist. Rev. L. p. Mercer, pastor OF
New Church temple (Swedenborgian),
preached a memorial sermon.

LAT ER.

AN important discovery regarding the
comet has been made at Lick observa-
tory, California. Photographic plates
reveal the fact that the celestial visitant
is not alone in its glory, but has COM
panion. The second comet is enveloped
in the tail of the first one and shows
distinctly as a nebulus like 'condensa-
ton. Its tail also merges into that of
the other.
THIS is to be a week of Swedish
music at the worlds fair, in which the
Swedish singing societies of Minneap-
oils and st. Paul will take prominent
part. It is the first saengerfest of the
American Union of Swedish singers and
thousands of socialists of that nation
ality are eXpec:y / to be present from all

THE employees of the Manhattan Man

the 18th on account of q reduction in
wages.
JOHN P. SKINNER, president of tho
company owning the cold storage
works burned on the worlds fair
grounds, lays the blame for the terrible
loss of life upon Assistant Fire Marshal
Murphy. Skinner claims that Murphy
was repeatedly admonished that the
fire was below the men, and the warm
ings were unheeded. The coroner is
investigating.
AN incoming passenger train on tho
Grand Trunk railroad ran down a
crowded street car the 18th at the 49th
street crossing in Chicago, killing Thos.
Perkins, Margaret Murphy and an un-
known boy, and number were in
jured. Where the collision occurred
there is a network of tracks and has al
ways been considered dangerous. A
long freight train going west had just
passed, and the tower man, George
Barnett, had raised the gates. This
was taken as a signal that the tract,
was clear, and Driver Stahlneckcr start
ed to drive across the tracks. The pas
senger train was coming from the cast,
however, and just as the car reached
the tracks it struck it squarely in the
center. The car was turned entirely
around and hurled fully 80 feet from
the spot where it was struck.
