The Properly of Hon. James Fooht De-
stroyed by Incendiaries --- Loss Over
$4,000.
PoTTsvILLE, Aug. 22.-At midnight
last night flames were seen issuing from
one of the barns on the model farm of
Hon. James Focht, located in Panther
Valley, three miles from Cressona. In
few moments it had communicated to
second barn and number of out
buildings, all Of which, with their con-
tents, were entirely destroyed.
Thirty.thrce head of cattle, three
mules, 10 pigs, all the agricultural i'm
plements and machinery, including a
steam thresher which had been en-
ployed there during the day, model
chicken house with several hundred
fancy chickens, besides the entire har-
vesting Of the seasons crops were de-
destroyed
Origin Of the fire unknown but is
thought to have been incendiary as fire
in the treshing engine had been extin-
guished at o'clock and at 10 when the
farm hands had made their last round
no signs of fire were visible. Loss over
$4,000. Slight insurance.

FRENCH III EcrIoss.
No Disturbance ar Excitement OF Any
Kind in pnriA sunday.

Kind in Paris sunday.
PARIS, Aug 20.--The general parlia-
mentary election in France to-day was
unexpectedly free from disorder and
even excitement. Except slight dis
turbances in the Var, where NJ. Clemen-
ceau, tho Radical leader, has had a hot
fight with his slanderers, no serious
trouble had been reported at 11.30 this
evening. In Paris the poll, although
much larger than usual, was quite
featureless The returns have come in
slowly from all districts outside of Paris.
All the cabinet ministers have been
reelected, none meeting with serious
opposition. M. Wilson, son-in-law OF
the late President Grevy, and who was
implicated in the Legion of Honor scan
dial, is elected by large majority IN the
Loches district of the lndre.et-Loire
NJ. Delahaye, who was prominent in tho
Panama Canal exposure, is defeated in
his district of the lndre.et-L Loire.
"a. m.--The returns received up to
the present time show the election Of
105 Republicans, gain of five seats; IL
Royalists, 3"Rallied" and Revisionists,
Sixty-eight reballots are necessary.
Premier Dupuy's order that no OK
cursion trains should be run from Paris
to-day has caused great irritation. The
railway companies who have been OBJ
liged to refund the money paid IN ad
vance for thousands of tickets complain
bitterly. The opposition press processes
hot indignation and denounces the gov
eminent in acting with high-handed
and inexcusable disregard of popular
rights.
The returns show the election of AS
Conservatives, "a Conservative Rallies
and $3.50 Republicans. Included among
the successful candidates who term
themselves Republicans are 81 Radicals,
30 Liberals, 10 Socialists, 6 Reyisionists
and 2 Revoutionists.
IL is known that reballots will have to
be taken in los districts. The results of
these reballots will undoubtedly mostly
be favorable to the Republicans, whose
gains now reach total OF 63 seats.
The majoriiies given TO the several
ministers in their respective districts ag-
gregate nearly $4,000 more than their
combined majurities when standing fol
election to the chamber Of 1899. In the
last general election the Buulangists re.
| turned SO members. Yesterday they
elected only three, The defeat of the
Royalists il causing much signitlcant
comment ard it is predicted that il
means the ultimate extinction Of thai
party. The departments of Vendee
Finisterre and Loire lnferieure, hitherto
strongholds of the Royalists, have beer
wrested from them by the Republicans
who are jubilant over the gains they
| have made.

CRAVE CRISIS IN IrALY.


A Black War Cloud Looms Up Between
1t and Erance--ItaIian Rioters Try to
Burn the French Embassy Building.
ROME, Aug. 2l.-The troubles growing
out OF the fighting between French and
Italian workingmen employed at the
salt works in Aigues Mortes, France,
threaten to involve grave International
complications. 1t is not in Rome alone
that the popular indignation at what
the Italians consider a gross breach of
international comfy, is finding vent in
demonstrations that are evidently in
tended to coerce the government into
demanding an apology from France for
the attack upon Italians and the pay
ment Of an indemnity to compensate
the families Of those Italians who were
killed.
Riots directed against Frenchmen
have occurred in many Of the provincial
towns and the situation is considered
exceedingly grave. The most serious
outbreak OF popular feeling against the
French occurred in this city late last
night when hooting mob attempted to
burn the French embassy. Some of the
rioters carried cans of petroleum and
did not hesitate to openly declare that
it was their intention to use it in destroy
ing the embassy.
The authorities, however, had antici.
pated that an attack might be attempted
on the building and strong force OF
troops was detailed to guard it. The
rioters, however, attempted to carry out
their threats to burn the embassy not
withstanding tho presence of the sol.
diers. They were ordered to dispense,
but refused TO do so whereupon the sol.
diers charged upon them. The mob held
their ground for time and fought
stubbornly.
1t was not until several charges upon
them were made that they began to re-
treat, fighting all the time. Forty. Ave
of the rioters were arrested. Many Of
the mob who were at the fore front Of
the fighting were wounded by the sabres
that the soldiers used unsparingly. The
rioting in the provincial towns was only
quelled by the use of troops, the police
being utterly powerless to handle the
mob. Further developments are anx
| iouSlY awaited

Banker Donaldson, in "a series Of Years
Embellishments, Has wiped Out Score
of Banks.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Aug. 29,--James
Doughty of Sioux City arrived In the
city yesterday and after conference
with Attorney Mailman and Bank
Examiner Lattimer swore out a warrant
for the arrest of Il. M. Donaldson, the
fugitive Marion Bank president, alleg.
ing embezzlement, transportation and
forgery. The facts told by Mr.. Doughty
make Donaldson's embezzlement from
the Marion bank appear simply as
drop in the bucket compared with the
ex-hanker's transactions in Iowa.
Donaldson in the eighties besides
owning majority of the stock of the
First National Bank Of Marion, Kas.,
controlled two State banks. His trans
actions through them were not successful
and In 1867 when the Kansas real estate
boom dropped he closed out the two
small banks and securing considerable
money from his Marion bank started
the Union Trust Company in Sioux
City, la.
As feeders for the Union Trust Com
pany at Sioux City he established a
chain Of banks in Iowa, II in number.
His ventures, however, did not develop
according to his expectations and from
subsequent events it becomes apparent
that he determined to realize what cash
he could and leave the country.
Accordingly last winter he formed a
branch office here, taking charge him
self, and disposed of large amount of
the securities The Union Trust Com
pany was among the first financial in
situations to go under when the finan-
cial difficulties began last spring. With
ID went down the following Iowa banks:
First National Bank, Ida Grove; First
National Bank, Holstein; Sloane State
Bank, Sloane; Danbury State Bank,
Danbury; First Ute State Bank, Ute;
Woodbine Savings Bank, Woodblne;
Cushing Savings Bank, Gushing; Cas-
tana Savings Bank, Castana; Shutter
Savings Bank, Shutter; Aurelia Saw
ings Bank, Aurelia.
The crash of these institutions sent
Donaldson in retirement at Marion,
where lie seems to have continued his
tactics Of raising all the ready cash
possible upon his assets. Then came
the failure OF the Marion bank. I'm
mediately the bank examiner made his
appearance in Marion, Donaldson dis.
appeared, and with him $23,0O0 of the
banks money.
Mr.. Doughty of Sioux City, who was
interested in the Union Trust Company
says the examination Of that company's
affairs and of the affairs of the II Iowa
banks, showing deficit Of at least
100000. Donaldson is charged with
having got away with the money. Dur.
ing the disposal of securities here Don
aldson sold paper to nearly all the city
banks, but the bulk of his transactions
was with New England bankers.

LARGE LOSS DE PEAcH Els.
An Ericsson Steamer With $4,000 Bai
kets of Peaches Lost on the ChesapeaI;

An Ericsson Steamer with $4,000 Bas-
kets of Peaches Lost on the Chesapeake
Bar.
The Ericsson Line steamer Josephine
Thomson, bound from points along the
Chester river for Philadelphia, and
carrying $4,000 baskets of peaches, ran
ashore in the Chesapeake bay on Fri
day, broke in two and became total
loss. There is chance of saving her
cargo If it is promptly discharged into
another vessel, but the steamer is he
lieved to be beyond salvation. Full
particulars of the accident have not been
received, but it is believed that the
Thomson was being hurried along while
fog obscured the way ahead, and
struck on bar when but short dis
lance from the mouth OF the Chester
river
Soon after striking the steamer came
to standstill, but not until she had
plowed her way half across the bar at
high water, SO that she was resting on it
amidships, both ends of the vessel being
in deep water. The engines failed 70
move her, although forced to their
greatest power, and when the tide ebhed
she settled with it, and her iron hull
parted in the centre.

The stand taken by Mrs. ]. Frank
Ball of this city, in the performance of
her duties as a member of the committee
of awards of the Board of Lady Man
ayers Of the Worlds Columbian EXPOSE
ton, was both right and creditable.
Mrs. Ball very properly objected to the
appointment of judges of awards with
the sole object in view of paying per-
sonal or political obligations, regardless
of the qualifications of the persons SO
selected. Against such a manifest pei
version Of very important duty she
resolutely set her face, and there can be
no question that the verdict OF all out
side of the interested coterie by whom
she was opposed will be that she was
right.

DIABoLIc4L DOUBLE CRIME.

Illinois Lynchers, Numbering $50, Sur
round Swamp Where an Inhuman
Brute Lies Hidden.
OAKLAND, Ill, Aug. 22.-At Brushy
Fork, six miles north of this city, $50
Infatuated men are surrounding swamp
in which is hidden Lou G. Myers, who
is wanted for two of the most diabolical
crimes ever perpetrated in this State.
Last Friday morning Myers went to
the house of a neighbpr Of the name Of
Will and assaulted Mrs. Will, who is a
weak woman. She was seriously in
jured in the struggle.
HANGED ONE OF HIS VICTIMS.
A short time after Myers met his II.
years-old niece and assaulted her and
he took string, made moose of it, put
IL around her neck and hanged the little
girl to a tree. Then he returned home,
gave his own wife severe beating, also
one Of his own little girls, and fed To
the woods, not, however, before securing
Winchester rifle, q shotgun and two
revolvers, and telling his wife that she
must that night send him basket of
provisions,
FIFTY SHOTS FIRED AT THE FIEND.
The little girl whom he had assaulted
and hanged to tree was discovered by
neighbor and taken down. The life
was not extinct, but it took over two
hours to resuscitate her. She could not
talk, but took pencil and on piece of
paper wrote what had befallen her. BY
this time the first crime had been dis.
covered and posse was hastily sworn
in and the hunt for Myers began in
earnest.
He was traced from Budgets Ford to
Gwynn's woods and sighted as he was
entering the forest. Over so shots were
fired at him, but none eff them hit him.
Myers in turn fired at the posse slightly
wounding one of them. A little while
after dark, Friday. night, Myers made an
effort to pass through the south side of
the guard line, but did not succeed, but
he did succeed in wounding another one
of the posse. He was shot at number
of times, but there is no way of telling
whether any of the Shots took effect.
