particulars of he dcatl, from lightning

of VIM. A. Garrison and the injury of
four other men. The CORES spondcnt
says:
"Thc circumstances surrounding this
calamity are peculiar as to fill the
minds OF the people of this community
with alarm and awe, as there arc those
who maintain that the occurrence has
lessons from the supernatural, bearing
on the liquor question of our times. No
election was held that day on account of
of disagreement between the "wcts''
and the ''drys." The man in
stanty killed was strong ad-
vocatc of the liquor traffic, as
were also the four men struck by light
ming. The prince of distillcrs in Broad
River township, Il son of the man killed,
was standing 90 yards away talking
with a prohibitionist and was badly
stunned by the stroke, while the prohi-
bitionist was unhurt. No person op-
posed to the liquor traffic was in any
way injured. This, with the fact that
another old gentleman who was strong
advocate of the liquor traffic fell dead

BERLIN, June 16.-Thc election returns

towns come in slowly. In most of these

the government candidates had appar-
emily lost Slightly in constituencies which
chose deputies by yesterdays ballot. On
the other hand, in the second ballot,
which now seems inevitable in some 100
or 125 districts, the government has
exccptionable opport unities to win many

failures to draw opposition votes has
been the most surprising feature of the
election. The social democrats boast
they will have 60 seats. This is about

BLOODY Haichet.
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, June TO-
There was less of a crowd at the court
house this morning than at any time
since the beginning of the Borden trial.
Among the carly visitors was Emma
Borden, who, it was understood, would
be called for the defence although down
as government witness. The court de-
cided that the evidence of the Portuguese
who saw a man with bloody hatchet
could not be admitted, and Miss Bor-
den's lawyers desired an exception noted,
at the same time stating they would put
in writing just what they intended to
show by the Portuguese.
For the defence L. Robinski, ice cream
pcddler, said he went by the Borden
house i'll his wagon on the morning the
murders were committed. what did
you see ?" II saw a lady come out of the
barn and go to the stairs at the north
side of the house." Robinski said it was

badly done. If he had had authority tc
prevent it he would not have permitted

NEAR TO A PANIC.
Burning of a wesleyan College
DOlMitOry.

WARRENToN, Mo-, June 16.-The DOM
itory of Central Wesleyan college was
destroyed by fire last night.
At the time the fire was discovered
1 200 people were in the college hall in
attendance on commencement exercises.
That a panic did not ensuc was due to
the presence of mind of the presiding
officer who quietly had the doors locked
separating the hall from the burning
portion and allowing the audience to
make their exit calmly and safely.
Several persons were injured by falling
timbers while attempting to extinguish
the blaze. The electric lights were shut
off to prevent an accident, leaving the
city in darkness. Prof. Kerster, profes-
sor of theology, fell from the roof of one
of the buildings and broke both of his
legs, besides sustaining internal injuries.

During the week an officer Of the COM
pany had remarkably satisfactory inter
view with high railroad official, who
gave him to understand that his
railroad had entered protest with the
government against the location of the
county seat of Pond Greek, and that unless
the location was changed his road did not
propose to lend any aid to the upbullding
of the county seat, but would be prepared
to consider proposition from the Chero-
kee Cooperative Townsite company.
Since that interview the government has
finally declined to change any OF its
county seats aud the railroad is therefore
in post ion to give the local company its
powerful support.
