FIRED INTO A CROWU

Corydon, Ind, Aug. Z. = Last night
Booze township, this county, was made
the scene of the most terrible shooting
affair that eyer occurred in this part of
the state. A large crowd Of men went
to the house of William and Ed Conrad
for the purpose of lynching the two boys,
who were suspected of killing their father
last winter. The young Conrads had
received notice some time ago that if
they did not leave the neighborhood they
would be lynched. Upon this notice the
boys armed themselves with shotguns and
revolvers and awaited their coming. The
boys secreted themselves outside their
house when the crowd approached and
fired into them, killing John Timberlake
and William Wiseman, after which the
crowd dispersed, and before they could
command themselves they were again
fired into and Edward Houston and
Isaac Howe were instantly killed and
William May was fatally shot. The
mob comprised about 100 men, and those
killed and wounded are the best in the
township. The two Conrads escaped.
Intense excitement prevails throughout
the southern part of the county. The
Conrad boys have always been regarded
as vicious and worthless.

and finally a chorus is sung by every
body on the line from provincial Port

simple Gloucester to ~aristocratic Spring

is now a rather trite subject. But,
Notwithstanding the familiarity with

THE CRAFTY NORMAN,

How u Farmer Turned hi
ON the Baker
By way Of Illustration of the pro-
verbal %craftiness Of the Norman peas
antry, an amusing story is related
which, if not in strict accordance with
fact, has at least the merit Of original
ity, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
A certain baker, in business In a small
town, obtained his supply Of butter
from q farmer in the neighborhood.
One fine day he discovered that the
pats, which were supposed to weigh
three pounds each, We're not up to the
standard, and further examination re-
yealed a steady dirlinDtiOn in the daily
provision. At last the baker lodged
a formal complaint against the farmer,
and the affair was brought before the
local court. "Have you any scales?'
inquired the magistrate. Yes, Mon
sier le judge" was the ready reply.
"And have you any weights?" continued
the Judge. An answer this time IN
the negative was as promptly given.
''But how do you manage to weigh your
butter?" asked the magistrate.
Then the farmer related that ever
since the baker had taken his butter
he had returned the compliment by buy
ing his bread. The baker supplied him
with three-pound loaves, and he used
them as weights for his butter. 1T is
his fault, not mine, if the weight is
not correct" added the farmer, who
was speedily acquitted and left the
court in triumph with an escort OF
! friends and admirers. Since this tria!
the farmer is said to have been sup
piled with more than his due provision
OF bread, but he has taken good car
not to fall into the opposite error, an(
the baker has now his three-poun(
pats &c butter full weight, but not al
| ounce more.

WERE DROWNED,
A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT BEFALLs A
PLEASURE PARTY.
"A Steamer on Lake George, In New
York, Strikes II Pier md Sinks
Eight Women and a Young Man
Find a Watery Crave. nj

Troy, N. Y, Aug. 5.-Early this morn.
from a dance at the lower end of Lake
George, met with q terrible casualty.
The steam yacht, which is owned by d..
w. Sherman, proprietor Of the Pearl
Rock house, Lake George, was conveying
ltwenty-nine people up the lake. The
little vessel was turned towards the One
Hundred-Mile Island house, and was
gliding toward the landing when the
passengers We're thrown forward by "a
sudden shock. In the dark the vessel
had run upon a sunken pier, and before
assistance arrived from the shore it sank
with all on board. It was only a few
moments after the shock when the yacht
careened to one side and went down in
eighteen feet of water. The shrieking,
struggling passengers battled for life: in
the darkness. Women threw up their
arms and sank beneath the surface, and
when brought ashore life had fled. Deeds
of heroism were performed by the men.
When all had reached the shore it was
learned that nine persons, all women, ex-
cept a youth of nineteen, had SINK to
watery graves. AS soon as possible an
attempt 60 get the DOuleS was made
After strenuous efforts eleven bodies
were brought to the surface. Those who
lost their lives reside in Troy, Brooklyn,
Hoboken and Warrensburg. The porter
of the One Hundred-Mile Island house
was acting as pilot when the boat struck.
Following is a correct list Of the drowned:
Miss Hattie Hail., Brooklyn; Bertha
Benedict, Montclair, n. j.; Miss Edith
Harding, Hobcken, n. j.; Miss II. NJ.
Burton, Jersey City; Mrs. J. Il. Mitchell,

MET INSTANT DEATH.

St.SPaul, Aug. lie. w. Newstrom of
White Bear and Mrs. IL. NJ. Clouse and
Mrs. J. 2. Nordstrom, both of St Paul,
We're instantly killed yesterday morning
while crossing the St. laul & Duluth
track, just below the Delwood station.
The ~three-year-old daughter of Mrs. New
strom, who was in the front seat with
her father, escaped uninjured. The train
by which the party was struck backs
down from Mahtomsdi to White Bear at
a slow rate Of speed. Just beyond Dell
wood there is a curve and a deep cut,
and at the lower end Of the curve a
crossing. The train had just left Dell
wood station and was rounding the curve
well under way when Brakeman Albert
Taylor, who was on the lookout on the
platform Of the head car was Mortified to
see a horse and blackboard containing a
man, two women and a small child
standing still in the middle Of the track.
He Immediately jumped for the air brake,
but it was too late. The car struck TIL
team, broke it to splinters and passed on
about three car lengths before it came to
a halt. AS quickly as possible the Of
fcials and a crowd of passengers ran
back and found the unfortunate ones
lying beside the track. OF the four per-
sons in the carriage the three older ones
We're dead. The fourth, the three-year-
old daughter of Mr.. Newstrom, lay in the
midst of the mangled remains without a
scratch and with only one Or two little
bruises, though she was badly frightened.
L. w. Newstrom was an employee Of
the st. Paul & Duluth road, and has
been in its service Tor some time. He
was a painter at the shops of the road
at Gladstone. The two ladies with him
and. their husbands We're his guests for
the day, and be was taking them, to-
gether with his little girl, out for a drive,
while their husbands We're out on the
lake engaged in fishing.

CONTRASTS

Where Wealth and Poverty Touch
Elbows and Dirt Is Everywhere.
An American finds Bangkok full of
the strangest contrasts and oldest
sights. He sees the river banks lined
for miles with floating houses, the
homes of thousands and the scene of
busy trade. On one corner is the splen-
did palace Of a nobleman and on the
next the novels Of the very poor. Here
are groups Of Buddhist priests in vel
low garb, shielding their faces with
fans for fear the sight of women will
induce unholy thoughts, and near them
are gangs of the toughest Of convicts,
clanking their chains as they toll in the
streets.
Here are lepers horribly repulsive,
unrestrained and clamorOus for aims,
and soon, perhaps, the king passes with
a brilliant retinue, sitting on his state
chair. Fine ladies have teeth as black
as polished ebony. It is only the vast
army of female outcasts whose teeth
are white. When a member Of the
royal house dies the cremation cere.
monies cost a fortune, and while thou
sands are witnessing the imposing dis
play vultures are tearing dead bodies
to pieces i'll the heart Of Bangkok, and
the poor are burying their dead, a
couple Of armsful of wood serving as
| the funeral pyre. ,
One would think that such practices
in 4 great city would breed a pestilence.
