nent citizens, one fatally. and the kill
ing of Chief of Police j. w. Thompson.

epithets that he had applied to him
during Saturdays difficulty. Cameron
refused to apologize, and drew his
pistol. A fight followed when Chief

Cameron and attempted to disarm
him. In the scuffle Cameron's pistol
went off, two bullets passing through
Allison's side and then penetrating
Thompson's heart. The latter fell
dead and the former is mortally

FASHIONABLE BEAUTY.
Her Qualities as ~ Wife "Wtth n
Fool Husband"

Aer Quaht1e9 as Wl1e "W1th u
Fool Husband.'
Lena, The Beauty" is 81 years old.
She is the best dressed woman in Lon
don. She is so shallow and brilliant
that one feels she ought to make
great name. Her beauty is perfectly
preserved. An excellent digestion and
a heart and conscience which have CIV
en- her no sort of trouble have contribu-
ted to this desirable result Il shall be
38 next birthday" she is in the habit
of saying with the most delightful cam
dor. land should be constantly mistak-
en- for my own daughter if l were not
so much better looking. Her husband?
He is a fool, of course What could he
have been but fool to think that Lena
brilliant at 10, could be marrying him
for anything except his money? What
can he be now but fool to go on wor-
Shipping this woman who insults him a
dozen times day with her scornful
good humor- and her cruel wit? The
world scorn hardly less than she does
herself his slow patience and long suf-
fering. My husband has no brains to
speak of, you know" says Lena, con-
versationally. Her husband can hear
the remark from the other end of the
table. He wrote prize poem at Cam
BRIDGE" she continues, enjoying herself
very much; that speaks for itself"
Presently Sir George falls i'll. The ill
ness is alarming; it even alarms Lena.
In the very middle of the season she
goes down to the coal country to nurse
her husband. She puts on a very be-
coming cap and delightful apron. The
sick man always lies so he can see her.
She has done her best to break his
heart, and he loves her still. The touch
of her hand raises in him thousand
tender emotions. She is still the one
woman in the world for him. And she
leaves him. The deadly dullness of the
place and the monotony and depression
of sick room get intolerable. She has
| always been quite selfish. Admiration
is the breath of her life. And who is
there to admire one in the coal country ?
She goes back to town, and telegram
! informs her of his death. She laments
him and curses herself passionately for
few days But there is the estate to
see about, and ones black, and all sorts
of things II am not sure that black is
not more becoming to me than anything
else," she says. The fact affords her a
great deal of consolation.-CornhiD

DONE BY DYNAMITERS
A BOARDING HOUSE AT LAUREL
RUN, PA, BLOWN UP.
Three OF the Inmates Instantly
Killed, Four Are Fatally Injured,
while Several others Are Severely
Hurt-The House Blown to Atoms.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 30.--A large
Hungarian boarding house at Laurel
Run, this county, was E.oWn to atoms
at 3 o'clock this morning and three OF
the inmates killed outright, four fatal
ly injured and half dozen seriously
hurt.
The killed are Frank Mowaski,
aged %, single; Michael Calletz, 40,
married; George Selocky, %, married.
The most dangerously injured are
Joseph Galletz, back broken; Mike
Loschitz, head and face cut and left
arm broken; Kasha Cataresk, one leg
broken, other crushed, necessitating
amputation; Michael Uritz, abdomen
torn; Blash Krell, both arms broken;
Fahr Kotsch, shoulder broken and In
jured internally; Anthony Sechleck,
back and breast crushed; Uritz Misko,
legs crushed.
The nsnds who planned the explosion
did their work well, despite the fact
that part of the plan failed. They
placed about twenty-four sticks of
dynamite under the building, each be-
ing about nine inches long and weigh
ing half pound. A wire connected
the sticks with a battery about fifty
ydIAS away w hSA tuC oA5hoA "oS
given only about half a dozen of the
sticks exploded. They were sufficient,
however, to completely wreck the
building, not beam or plank of which
was left standing. Several Of the In
mates who occupied beds on the upper
floor were hurled fifty feet in the air,
some of them escaping fatal injuries
by alighting in the trees near by. Half
dazed by fear and sleep they managed
to hold on to the limbs until they re-
covered their senses and were able to
reach the ground.
AT daylight the officials of the Le-
high valley railroad were notified, and
a special train with a number of ply
sicians was hurried to the scene. The
doctors dressed the wounds of the In
jured, who were then brought to the
hospital in, this city. The boarding
boss says he is at loss as to what
prompted the dastardly deed. AS far
as he knows he has no enemies In the
world. Some of the boarders think the
motive was robbery, as several OF them
were known to have considerable
money in their possession. If this was
the object of the fiends it is plain why
they placed so much Of the explosive
under the building. They wanted to
kill every person in the place in order
to get the plunder and then escape de-
lection. No arrests have been made.

A RIVAL FOR TRAFFIC
ROAD FROM SIOUX FALLS TO THE
PACIFIC COAST.
Promoters Of the Midland Pacinc
Say That Capital Ii Assured-Work
VIII BE Commenced ON the Lane
EARLY Next Year.

New York, Oct. 31.-Maj. @. B. Hib
bard OF New York has recently re-
turned from an extensive trip through
the Northwest and portions OF the
Northern Pacific coast, bring news OF
the proposed new Midland Pacific rail-
road, over the route Of which he tray-
eled for the especial purpose OF get
ting knowledge OF that section Of the
country, In order to make a report to
Canadian and foreign capitalists, who
were ready to invest In the new enter
prise IL they should be satisfied Of Its
feasibility. Mai. Hibbard is now able
to state that the capital, both Can
adian and foreign, Is satisfied, and that
he has therefore been able to enter into
contract with United States Senator
r. f. Pettigrew Of South Dakota for
the building of the Midland Pacific
from Sioux Falls, s. D., to Seattle and
Tacoma, Wash, distance of some
], 800 miles. The success is thus as
sured of what will undoubtedly be one
of the great transcontinental routes.
Asked If the construction Of the road
was to be undertaken at an early date,
Maj. Hubbard replied:
''The first branch will be from Sioux
City to the coal fields of Wyoming.
About 400 miles will be built in the
spring of 1895. These fields, by the
way, contain vast quantities of coal,
equal In quality to the best produced
in Illinois. Since South Dakota is en-
tirely without coal or other fuel In
any amount, it will be seen what an
advantage she will derive from these
increased facilities for fuel that is
plentiful and cheap. The second from
the eastern boundary Of Wyoming to
the Yellowstone Park, will be COM
pleted during the season of 1896, and
in connection with the Illinois Central
air line, will furnish route 200 short
er than any other between Chical
and the National Park.
'EThe third section, which is expected
to follow the second section immedi-
ately, is called the Idaho division, and
starts from the western line Of the
Rockies, passing through a country
rich in minerals, timber and agricul-
tural areas. The fourth section, the
Washington division, will pass through
Central Washington and have ter
minals in the peculiarly promising
ports Of Tacoma and Seattle.
"Sioux Falls, the eastern terminus, /"
continued Mai. Hibbard, "as you
know, is equally promising. Five
| Eastern railroads converge there. 1t
Is the most prosperous city of South
Dakota. by good deal, being the dis
| tributing center for all the eastern and
| southern parts of the state, South
western Minnesota and Northwestern
/ Iowa. The new road will have it's
principal repair and other shops at
Sioux Falls, and make it the basis for
the distribution of all the materials
to be used in the construction Of the
| first two divisions The first of this
active work will be begun by June,
| 1896"
