BROWNSVILLE, Texas, special: Ma
jor Keyes and troops from Fort Ring
gold arrived at the disputed banco near
Havana, and arrested the Mexican
officials who were still at the banco
holding the remaining sheep. Three
thousand sheep were restored to their
owners. Six hundred head and the
herders are still held on the Mexican
side. Col. Maniero, an engineering
officer of the Mexican army, crossed
to this side of the river to examine the
disputed banco and confer with Major
Keyes. A private telegram received
here states that the land where the
sheep were crossed from and where
Mexican officials were arrested by
United States troops is undisputed
Texas soil. Things are now at a stand

HENNEssEY, Oklahoma, special:
Prominent railway officials have been
In the city in consultation, and it has
leaked out that they have perfected a
scheme whereby they and their friends
will locate on the choicest land SUR
rounding Enid. This is what the hon
est settlers have expected and feared,
and together with ''sooners'' they will
have an exceedingly hard time to hold
their own. While Secretary Hoke
Smith says trains will not run on the
10th, the railroad men are just as en-
phatic in saying they win, and the
mystery surrounding all the schemes
Is worrying the people who have no
other intention except to obey the
laws. That the strip is at this time
full OF ''sooners" can not be denied,
and should the entire military force be
thrown in there, it would scarcely be
sufficient to keep out this class. The
Rock Island Railroad officials will
start 9 town at Waukomis, eight miles
this side of Enid, and persons who are
conversant with their methods OF town
site grabbing, know full we'll that
s'sooners" will hold the land for them.
Every morning dozens of people may
be seen going north into the strip, re-
turning by moonlight, having put in a
day OF arduous labor hunting corner

FlENDIsHNEss UNPARALLELED


Crippled Begg.rs Manufactured to Order
In Austria. .
The most fiendish cruelty which has
ever come TO the notice OF the Aus
trian authorities has been disclosed
by the arrest OF gangof men whose
profession YVES crippling young children
to become beggars. The gang, which
had followed this horrible practice
for years, was discovered in Biskupitz,
Croatia, Austria, and there was found
the house which the fionds used for
the purpose. The business to them
has been lucrative ore. Young chill
dren were stolen from their parents
and taken to the operating house, To-
Gated on the outskirts 81 the town.
Then they were bound and subjected
to the most inhuman tOrtures. When
the police forged their way into the
house last week . horrible sight met
their eyes. On cots were two girlS,
between II and II years st
age, suffering frightful agonies.
Each OF them had both legs
broken, which had been done prr-
posely to maize them cripples for life
so that the profession Of begging whi:h
they were TO be compelled TO follow
wc,ild be the more profitable. Bound
on > bed near by was another girl of
ab0nt the same age. Her right Ann
was broken, and both eyes had bsen
gOuged out. Two other children haraly
less horribly mutilated were found on
cots In the cellar. Many instruments,
which had been used In producing
physical deforlnities, were uncovered
In the cellar and wer9 seized for eyi-
dence. The discoveries have CAUSED
thA most intense excitement.

WAS ARIDE TO DEATH
FIFTEEN PERSONS KILLED ON
THE HOsTON d ALBANY r. r.
1Gany Are Nfanxled.

Many Are Mansled.
Tho nego limited express train
for Boz kbroke through frail iron
bridge on the Boston and Albany Rail-
road one and one-half miles east Of
Chester, Mass., and four Wagner cars
were crushed, killing at least fifteen
persons. fatally injnring several others,
~ m n least 4 score are badly hurt
The wreck Is the worst ever known on
tho road. The bridge was being
strengthened for the big locomotives,
and the workmen who were putting on
the plates were at dinner when the
crash came. The locomotive passed
over the structure, but was smashed,
the water-tank being thrown long
distance. The buffet, two sleepers and
| dining car were smashed to kindling
when they struck the stream twenty
feet below, but two day coaches ard q
smoker in the rear did not leave the
track.
There are a few houses in the vicini-
ty and man driving by gave the alarm
through the village street. In few
minutes hundreds were on the scene.
Tho shrieks of the imprisoned were
terrible, and scores OF people looked
on completely unnerved. The village
people soon recovered from the shock
and were hard at work. The hospital
was group of apple trees in an ad-
Joining orchard, where scores were
taken. Ok teams arrived with loads OF
straw, cushions, bedding, and food.
The wounded were soon removed to
houses and all that remained on the
apple-strewn grounds were thirteen
bodies covered with red blankets from
an adjoining stable. The dead were
many of them horribly mutilated-
heads crushed in, limbs torn, and ten
were only recognizable by the clothing
worn.
The train was seven minutes late at
Chester and the railroad hands say 1t
IVES going at tho rate of twenty miles
nh hour when it struck the first OF the
two spans across the Westfeld River.
| The locomotive seemed to leap across
the bridge as the trusses collapsed and
| fel, over to the south The theory is
that the blow of the locomotive as it
struck the bridge from the curve sent
it off its foundations into the river.
A wrecking train was sent to the
scene from Springfield at once with
medical aid, and every attention was
shown the passengers. The bridge had
| been built fifteen years, and was a
two-span lattice 221 feet long. The
train was one of tho fastest expresses
on the road, stopping only at Pittsfield
from Albany to Springfield. 1t carries
the largest engine and best cars of any
train running west of Springfield.

ONE THOUSAND DEAD.
The List OF Storm Victims In tho South II
stun Growing.

The List of Storm Victims In the South II
! still Growing.
Three hundred and ninety dead
bodies have been found on the islands
about Beaufort and Port Royal, and
the total number of dead will reach
1000. Over S2,0O0.000 worth of prop
erty has been wrecked near the same
points. Both are the direct result Of
the storm which swept along the At
lantic coast. Every one of the fifteen
or. twenty islands lying around Port
Royal and Beaufort is stepped in sor-
row. On every door knob there is g
bunch of Grape and upon every hillside
there are fresh-made graves, some
already filed, while others are await
ing the bodies that will be deposited in
them just as soon as some one can be
found to do the Christian act of shovel
ing the dirt upon the coffin.
The beeches, the underground, trees
and shrubbery, the marshes, and the
inlets are turning up new dead bodies
every time an investigation is made.
OF the many disasters and devastations
which have visited that section of the
country none have been half as hor-
rible. AS the waters recede and the
people move deeper into the wreckage
gathered by the storm, the CHASTITY
pictures are uncovered. So frequent
are the discoveries that the finding of o.
single body attracts no attention at all
1t takes the discovery Of Q clump of at
least half dozen or more to induce the
people to show any feeling whatever.
It was around Beaufort and Port
Royal that the death rate was the
greatest, but in neither Of the towns
were many lives lost. Around the two
towns there is complete chain of ISL
ands, and it was upon these that the
harvest OF death was reaped. This
section of the Atlantic coast has beeI|
prolific in storms that scattered DEATH
and destruction of property in their
wake, but the weather wise, the oldest
citizens and the pilots, cannGt recall
anything equaling this last storm. The
people are now suffering fos food and
7,0OO negroes, who have been driven to
Port Royal by the storm from the sur
rounding islands and the rice and cot
ton plantations, are starving. They
are so destitute and 30 badly in need Of
something to eat that they have re-
sorted to fighting among themselves
for food. Several were killed In a
fight for provisions. Men, women and
children stand In the streets pleading
for something to eat. The white peo-
pie in Port Royal are doing oil in their
power to relieve the suffering, but
their efforts alone cannot begin to bet
ter affairs.
The'horrors Of the devastation can
scarcely be imagined, and nothing can
be extravagantly said Of the wreck and
ruins. That part. OF South Carolina is
known as the black district and is al
mcst entirely inhabited by negroes.

SOUTHERN SUMMARY.

EChEhA OPHlNGS, Ark, Specldi:
Edward Booker, a young Taney Coun-
ty. Mo-, farmer, is rejoicing over a
rich find of tin can containing 81 800 in
gold and silver coin. Mr.. Brokers
farm is on White River, near here, and
last spring, during high water, he
noticed an old tin vessel which had
been buried on the banks of the stream
and had been partly uncovered by the
water, but paid no attention to it.
The other day he gave the old can a
kick. and was surprised to find that it
was full of gold and silver coins. He
dug it up and found it contained a
small fortune. The coins bore date
ranging from 1855 to 1863, which leads
to the belief that the money was
buried there during the war.
BRUNSWICK, Ca, special: The ne
cessity for immediate relief for the
needy who We're left without means of
livelihood is urgent. Contributions
have been received from various cities
and towns, but there is yet much dis
tress. Tho relief committee has is
sued an appeal to the people of the
United States calling attention to the
actual condition of affairs in this place.
While there has been but three cases
of yellow fever, and it is hoped there
will be no others, the destitution and
suffering entailed are as great as If it
were an epidemic.
BRISTOL, Tenn, special: News has
reached Bristol to the effect that the
miners ut Coeburn, Va. are in starv-
ing condition. A few days ago the
coal mines at Coeburn shut down,
throwing number of men out of en-
ployment, and leaving them without
money to buy transportation to some
other town, or even to buy bread.
They win steal anything that will serve
as food for themselves and suffering
families, and people In and around Coe-
burn are guarding their cornfields and
gardens with shotguns.
Liberal, Mo-, special: AT the Spir-
itualist Convention held here, COM
mittee recommended that Spiritualist
College be organized with two branches
---One fitted to teach the common and
advanced branches of education, the
other TO teach psychic culture, where
the whole science OF man, includinG
spirit culture and development OF gen.
uine mediumship, will be taught. The
committee also recommended forming
mutual life association, with the benz
efts for the school on the death of q
policy-holder.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, special: Mary
Tiber, negro woman, who was de-
clared insane by the County Court
about year ago and sent to the Coun-
ty Farm, has changed from . block
woman to q white woman. She is
whittier than the Caucasian people, and
her color is dead, dry white, like
paper. Her case is considered most
remarkable. The woman Is still In
sane.
MIDDLEsBoRoUGH. KY, special: A
passenger train on the Middlesborough
Line was fired into by gang Of six
men near the Hallway House. Mrs.
Mary Boiling was fatally wounded and
L. bowman seriously hurt. A posse
captured John and James Martin and
George WaGener. three Of the gang,
and lynching Is looked for.

THAT section of the country around
Gettysburg. was thrown into excitement
by the finding of the dead body Of an
old woman in a lake bed. Some time
during the month OF May Mrs. Mary
Linde, woman Of some sixty years OF
age, left her home to drive back some
cattle that had wandered away. Night
came on and she did not return. The
people in that vicinity gave the alarm
and search was made, but she was not
found. A day or two ago, while Peter
gladden. was cutting hay in lake bed,
he came across the remains. The old
lady had evidently wandered SO far
away that she could not find her way
home before night, and had gotten
into this lake bed, which at that time
was full of water, and in her exhaus-
tion probably sank down and drowned.
A whip she had used in chasing tho
cattle was found at her side.
