DEATH IN A CIRCUS TENT.
Lightning Strikes it While the Show
is in Progress.

Seven of the Inmates Killed Instant
ly-Many Persons Injured, But None
of Them VIII Die-A Wild Stampede
Averted by the Goodness of the Pro-
prietors of the Show.
st. Paul, MINI, June 2l.-During a
severe thunder storm this afternoon at
River Falls, Wis, just over the Mime
sofa line, lightning struck the centtt pole
Of the circus tent of Ringing Bros. Seven
people were killed instantly, and quite a
number were injured, none of the latter
fatally
The killed are: o. A. Dean; Eugene
Reynolds, carpenter; A 14-year-old son
of o. P. Virgins; a 12-year-old son of
Cortis Aldrich; J. A. Glendening, town
clerk of Oak Grove, and an unknown boy.
The greatest CONSERVATION followed.
The rain continued falling in great sheets,
and the bodies of the dead were soaked
through before they could be removed.
Ringing Bros, and their employees did
every thing in their power to alleviate
the condition of the wounded.
The dead were taken down town and laid
out on the floor of an engine house, where
they were, with the exception of the un-
known boy, Unidentified in few minutes
after their arrival.
The scene as relatives identified their
dead was distressing. One elderly gen
tlemen, the father of young Dean, tainted
and was carried out of the engine house
The clothing on some of the dead was
torn in shreds, while others presented no
external evidence of the fatality except
the awful stare and fixed rigid features.
The number wounded is estimated all
the way from ten to thirty. Mostof them
were taken home as soon as possible and
are now doing well.
The presence of mind of the Ringlings
and their employees prevented a stampede
which undoubtedly would have been
attended with still greater fatalities. The
crowd was held In check and the dead and
wounded removed as soon and as quietly
as possible.

The Sisters Said to Have Broken
Down Completely on Entering.
Fall River, Mass, June 21.-Lizzie Bor-
den returned with her sister this morn
ing to her home on Second street after
having spent the night at Charles B.
Holmes residence ON Pine street. They
drove up to the gate in closed carriage
and their entrance was most painful to wit
ness. There were very few spectators for
the crowds of last night knew nothing of
the hour when the long imprisoned girl
would return. They denied themselves
to all newspaper men in accordance with
the suggestions of their counsel.
The sofa on which Mr.. Borden lay when
he was murdered is at the central police
station and will not be removed for day
or two. Lizzie spent very pleasant
night, and was very cheerful at breakfact
in the Holmes residence this morning. A
domestic in the family house on Second
street, is reported to have said that the
two girls broke down completely when
they had entered their old home.
To-day Andrew ]. Jennings is receiving
kilograms of congratulation from all parts
the country, and Miss Borden's mail at
the postof1lce is very heavy.
The temper of the people of the city has
been changed greatly by the verdict, and
there is manifest respect for the decision
of the jury.

A w1FE's LOVER BURNED ALIVE.
The Woman's Husband Threw
Lighted Lamp on Him.


Milan, Tenn, June 21.-For some time
past DR.. John Hood, of Alden, sixteen
miles north of here, has suspected that
improper relations existed between his
wife and William Piper. Monday night
Dr. Hood left home ostensibly on visit
to patient, but instead hid in an out
building near the house. In less than an
hour Piper entered the house. DIR. Hood
forced his way to his wife's bedroom and
found his wife and Piper in very com
promising situation. The doctor at
tempted to shoot Piper, but the pistol
snapped Snatching coal-oil lamp burn
ing on the table near by, the wronged
husband dashed the missile at Piper's
head, the glass horribly cutting his
face. The lamp exploded, the oil running
in streams of fire over Piper's body burn
ing his right ear off, destroying the sight
of both eyes, literally cooking his breast
and shoulders and burning his hair and
beard He died in less than an hour.
The unfaithful wife threw herself upon
tho body of the mass of charred flesh and
cried for death to take her with her
lover. All the parties are prominent peo-

LOOKS LIKE A STRIKE.
The Iron and Steel Workers Refuse to
Accept q Cut in Wages.

ACCEPT cut IN WAGES.
Pittsburg, Pa, June 2l.-The confer
ence between the iron and steel sheet
manufacturers and amalgamated associa-
tion committee has proven .fruitless. The
amalgamated committee have gone to
their homes. No more conferences on the
scale are likely, and there seems
strong probability of trouble. Neither side
will talk, but enough is known to Justify
the statment that the men will not accept
the reductions asked by the manufactur-
ers. The iron wage committee will con-
tinue the conference with the manutac-
turers. No agreement is expected in this
scale either, as the manufacturers de-
mand reductions in the wage scale
that the workers will not accept.
