CUT TO BITS WITH A KNIFE.
A cowardIy Murder at Omaha in Bawdy
House Fight.


OMAHA, July 2o.-Andrew Ryan is
lying cold and stark at the morgue, the
victim of one of the most cowardly
murders ever committed. His slayer is
George, alias "Bonesey," Williams,
now in a cell in the city Jail raclsed by
remorse at the thought of his deed.
The murder was committed in front
of a house of ill-fame in the lower part
of town. Ryan was literally cut to
pieces by his assailant. Death was al
most instantaneous. Williams fled, but
was captured by the city detectives.
When he had sobered sufficiently to
realize what he had done he broke
down and made confession. lie said
he and Ryan has been rivals for the af-
fcctions of one of the inmates of the
dive kept by Mary Davis. They were
together with a party of friends at the
place drinking. One of the party paid
for n bottle of beer with a S. bill and
when the change was returned Will
Jams and George Boyle quarrcled over
the amount. Then Ryan took sides
with Boyle, and Williams left the
house. He hid at the side Of the door
and waited for Ryan to come out.
When he appeared the murderer
pounced on him with a large clasp
]uife and before anyone could inter-
fore he inflicted eight wounds, cutting
Rynn's heart in two, cutting his throat
and laying open his breast and abdo-
men. All the parties connected with
the affair are switchmen employed by
the Union Pacific and Burlington roads

Victoria court.Martial casa.

NALErrA, Malta, July 20.-The court
martial which is trying certain of the
officers of the warship Victoria for los
ing their vessel off Tripoli, resumed its
sitting Wednesday, this being the
third day of the trial. The first wit
ness called was Rear Admiral
Markham, whose flag was flying on the
Camperdown Mt the time she ran into
and sank the Victoria. When questioned
as to the impression made upon him
when the signal of Vice Admiral Tryon
was hoisted on the Victoria ordering
that the distance between the
two columns be six cable
lengths Rear Admiral Markham replied
that when the signal was read he said
to his lieutenant: THAT it was Inn
possible since it is an impracticable
maneuycr." The rear admiral said that
when lie signallcd to the Victoria that
he did not quite understand the signal
the Victoria answered that the Camper
down was delaying the maneuvers. 1t
then occurred to the witness that he
was to put the helm of the Camper
dawn down and turn her 1G points to
starboard while the Victoria would
case her helm and circle round on the
outside of the division which was be-
ing led by the Campcrdown.

sion in the Coaches.

BUFFALO, N. Y, July 2o.-'rhe ex-
cursion train carrying the Sunday
schools of Bethany and Bethlehem
churches, of Buffalo, on the Western,
New York and Pennsylvania railroad,
was wrecked ut East Aurora at T:45
o'clock last night. Ono man was
fatally injured and fourteen to twenty
others, old and young, more or less
seriously hurt.
Owing to the lack of facilities for
communication the full details of the
wreck were not obtaihable until after
midnight. Tho accident is one of the
most remarkable in the history of rail-
road wrecks. Two engines were crushed
into masses of twisted steel and,
lying in the bottom of the turntable,
were covered with the :timbers, broken
glass and iron of the first two coaches.
These coaches were filled with excur-
sionists and that they escaped with no
more serious injuries is almost miracu-
lous.
AS near as can be learned the acci-
dent was duo to carelessness The
evening local train from Buffalo to
East Aurora had just pulled into the
station, where it stopped. Engineer
Holland had taken his locomotive to
the turntable, preparatory to heading
1T for the city for the morning trip.
The switch was left open, as
the engineer intended taking
his engine out on the main
track back to the siding for night.
just beyond the turntable is a sharp
curve and beyond that the track rises
in a heavy grade. The excursion train
rounded the curve and came
down the grade. Engineer
Ramsbury saw the danger,
but it was too late to stop his train and
it piled into the pit, on top of tho
engine already upon the turntablc.
The baggage car and the first two
coaches We're complete wreck
The scene in the wrecked coaches
was almost indescribable, the women
and children being thrown under and
over the seats and through the win
dows, cut with flying splinters, broken
limbed and bruised. Jack Norris, the
fireman Of the excursion train, was
the most seriously hurt. His head
struck telegraph pole and his skull
was fractured. Tho list of the SER
iously injured is MS follows:
HAIRY SAuRR, both legs broken.
ARTHUR SAuER, leg broken and serious
bruises and cuts about the face.
FANNIE WH1TMER, cut about feet and
legs and bruised otherwise seriously.

Stricken,

DENVER, Colo, July 1s.-Never in
the history of commercial and mercan-
til, life in the Rocky mountains has
such state Of financial affairs existed
as now prevails in Denver and through
sat Colorado. It was hoped that
the banks which had weathered
Mondays financial storm would be
in such position as to prob
ably cbpe with all demands made unon
them by their depositors. This
hope unfortunately was dissipated
by the announcement in quick
succession of the failure of the Ma
tlonal Bank Of Commerce, the Union
National bank and tho Commercial
National bank. In the attending ex-
element it is almost impossible to Sc
bilities of each bank.
The depositors in the banks have be-
come almost completely panic stricken,

equal the liabilities.
Condition Of the Other Banks.
The First National bank appears to
be on the best footing of all the banks.
1t claims to have on hand over 60 per
cent of its deposits, and has private
fund of 81, 5000, 900 in addition to draw
upon, making it impossible for any
demand to go unattended. The Colo

Of the people who are clamoring for
their money are small depositors. The
large holders express confidence in the
banks ability to successfully ride the
storm. AS every bank is crowded, the
clearing bouse is rendering no assist
ance, and each bank is compelled to
stand upon its own resources.
In an interview President John
A. Thatcher, of the clearing house
association, said: ~ am conf
dent that the day will see the
worst of this and people will come to
their senses. AT the meeting of

that we could not help the banks, ind

Companies From Nebraska.
LINCOLN, Neb., July ao.--Suits will
be instituted shortly by Buclsstaff
Bros, of this city, to shut out from do
ing business in Nebraska some forty
fire insurance companies, on the ground
that they have formed a trust for the
purpose of maintaining ineauitable and
exorbitant rates, to avoid compliance
with the valued policy law and to stand
by one another in refusing full pay
mcnt of losses in cases where by tech
nical avoidance they can do SO. The
immense brick manufactory of the
BucF~taffs was burned some six months
ago, or which the forty companies held
come 100000. They refused payment
in full, claiming overinsuraHce and too
high loss estimate. Saturday suitwas
begun on these policies. and later dam

for failure to fulfill their contracts for
payment. The papers IN the trust pro-
ceedings are being drawn up, and by

hers. The policy of France and Eng
land in the past and now is to make
conquests of all the weak powers in
the east. 1t will not be long until the
world will see the true situation. The
excuse for going up the Nfenam river
by French vessels was caused by lit
tie riotous affair which took place on
the island of llong in the Me-
kong river last April and
was planned by the French.
The French vessels are anchored
opposite tho American and British
legations in the harbor of Bangkok,
three miles below the walled city. In
order to lombard tho public buildings
and the palace of the king they would
have to move up the river and around
n bend a mile and half from where
they are. From the bank of the river
to the wall of the city is about 400
yards. The wall Is nbout 6 feet thick
and from IS to 90 feet high, being
firmly constructed. 1t is about 200
years old. There arc many large and
strong commercial structures between
the public buildings and the French
guns, and it is. doubtful if they can
make much impression for q long time.
The army of Siam is small, but it
is not to be ignored entirely
in such a war. Danish officers are
in command. They have no
artillery to compare with that Of
France, which accounts for the defeat
of the Siamese forts by the French
ships. Siam could put an army of lo0.-
900 in the field, but has no arms. The
people are for peace and think little of
war;"
The outlook for Siam, then, is not
encouraging?"
"Not at all. know the king to be
sensible man, and he is fully aware
af the fact that he is powerless with
out aid from other sources and he will
not get it from England. He will be
forced into a humiliating treaty and
give France the frontier of the Bur
mese territory considerably nearer the
western frontier of the French posses
