STRANGE INDIAN INCIDENT.
Break in the Great Dam at
Gohna Lake, Near
Simla.

SnII.A, India, Aug. 26.-Gohna lake,
which for some time past has threat
ened to break its bounds and sweep
down the valley, at the head of which
it lies, has broken the dam which con-
tro lied the waters. Thousands of tons
of water poured through the valley
like cataract, sweeping everything
before it. Huge bouiders were swept
along like pebbles, trees were uprooted
and carried on the breast of the flood,
and villages along the valley were
the roaring torrent of whitened waters
truck them. The rainfall during mon
soon has been noticeable heavy, and
the lake rose with great rap
idIty. Ths percola:ion at the time be-
came very heavy, and the engineers
who examined it decided that its break
age was imminent. To repair it was
impossible, and the government there
fore took steps to prevent any loss of
life when the break came. Elaborate
railway and telegraph arrangements
were made, and when 1t became known
that the dam would 20 out the people
nearest the point of danger were carried
by the railways to places of safety.
while those further down the valley
were notified to pack up their belong
Ings and be prepared to leave their
homes when called upon by the govern
ment to do so. The call was soon is
sued. and the people were taken away.
So when the flood came the valley was
deserted by everybody. To this wise
foresight of the government Is due the
fact that great loss of life was not
caused by the floods.

NEWELL PASSES AWAY.
THE PRESIDENT OF THE LAKE
SEsOESE Is Dead.
While on the Way to Pennsyl-

Apopiexy.

CLEVELAND, o., Aug. 26. - John
Newell, president and general manager
of the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
Railway company. died at Youngstown.
o., at 2:30 o'clock this Afternoon, of
apopleXy. Mr.. Newell was in PittsDurg
yesterday, aud he was on his way from
that city to ChaInbridgeboro, Pa, for
few days rest when he was taken ill.
When his special car reached Youngs-
town he was too Ill to proceed further.
A physician was called and he was
removed TO a hotel. He was then
seized with apoplexy. his left side being
paralyzed. Physicians were summoned
from this city and Plttsburg, but they
could do nothing for him. His daugh-
ter, Mrs. James r. Garfield, of Mentor,
was called by telegraph, and she reached
her fathers bedside at noon, with her
brother, John Z. Newell, of Cleveland.
He was still conscious at that time, but
could not speak. Death came painlessly
two and half hours later. Mrs. Newell
and another daughter are how OH their
way from Northampton, Mass, and mir.
NewelPs son, A. 3. Newell. superin-
Lake Shore road, has been summoned
from New York. No arrangements for
the funeral have yet been made. The
body will be brought to Cleveland to-
morrow morning on special train, and
will be met here by Mrs. Newell and the
other members OF the family, after
which it will be taken to Chicago, in
which city the funeral will be held.
MIR. Newell Was slXty-fOur years of
age. He entered the railway service in
1916 as rodman, and was afterward
assistant engineer of the Central Ver-
mont railway. In 1851 he worked on
the extension of the Champlain & st.
Lawrence railway, and i'll 1852 and 1858
he surveyed the routes of railroads from
Louisville to Cincinnati and from Sara
toga to Sackett's Harbor, n. Y. In 1856
he was engineer of the old Cairo City
railway, and from 1856 to 1865 engineer
of maintenance of way OF the Illinois
Central railway. FROM 1866 to 1868 he
was president of the Cleveland IL To.
ledO railway, now part of the Lake
Shore, and during the next succeeding
year engineer and superintendent of
the New York Central. From 1869
10 1Oil Hc Was flCC pieSlucHI VI tll6
Illinois Central, and for three years
after that president of the same road.
In 1875 he became general manager of
the Lake Shore, and since 1888 he has
been both president and general man
aver of the same road. AT the time of
his death he was also president of the
Pittsburg u Lake Erie and Toledo &
Ohio Northern railroads. Mr.. Newell
was an interchangeable worker, and it is
doubtful if there was another railroad
| man in the country who had so great a
capacity for work as he. He was a
strict disciplinarian, and it was his aim
| to make the Lake Shore in its service
and equipment the best railroad III the
country. An official Of the Lake Shore
said today that While Mr.. Newell was in
Cleveland Friday he did in six hours
work that il would have taken an ordin-
ary man two weeks to perform.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-An earnest
effort is making in official circles here
to induce the Mexican government to

Adams is to be shot soon In the city of
Mexico. Members of the Texas and
Louisiana delegations in congress have
occurred the friendly Offices of the
United States government, and his case
will be laid before our sister republic
through Secretary Gresham and Min
jster Gray. There are many eXtenuat.
Ing circumstances in Adams case, and
a careful presentation and consideration
Of the facts, it is believed, will appeal
to the Well-knOwn sense Of humanity
and justice of the Mexican people and
tho administration of President Diaz.
The facts that are relied on
In behalf Of the condemned man are:
First. that Adams had borne an excel
lent reputation prior to the killing of
the Mexican or Italian hotel waiter for
which ne is under sentence, about four
years ago: SecOnd.that he has exhibited
every evidence of sincere contrItion
since the act; third, that his mind was
bordering upon temporary insanity at
the time of the killing, owing to the
deliriums of prOtracteG spell of drink
ing, as to Which fact the experts prac-
tfcally agreed: fourth, that the prose
cutting officers intlamed the minds of the
jury by appeals to race prejudices.

Wanted by Great Meeting OF
the British Commoners.
LONDON, Aug. 26.-Hyde Park today
was the scene of a demonstration by the
National league for the abolition of the
house of lords. Those who took an
active part In the proceedings assem-
bled on the Tames embankment and
then marched in procession to the park,
where eleven platforms had been
erected. 1t is estimated that 27.000
persons were in the park, but the num-
ber was largely made up Of curious on
lockers, who took no port whatever In
the proceedings. A joint resolution
was adopted at all the platforms declar.
ing that as the government was unable
to give any definite pledge as to its
action regarding the house of lords, it
be demanded that the "uselesS heridi-
tary chamber be abolished. The resO-
lutions also called upon the electors to
only support candidates for parliment
who would pledge themselves to vote
for the abolition of the house of lords.
Among tho speakers were Messrs.
O'Brien and Tanner, members of the
house of commons.
LONDON, Aug. 27.-The Conservative
papers this morning claim that there
were only few thousand bona tide

fiasco. 1t is certain that no great en-
thusiasm prevailed and the addresses
of the speakers were received with
only moderate applause. john Burns,

speakers with the exception Of Messrs.

KNIGHTS HILARIOUS,
WITH RAIN WATER RUNNING
DOWN THEIR NECKS.
Distinguished Pythians Caught in
a Storm in Their Capital
City Tents.

WASHINGTON, Aug 26.-An unwel-
come house warming was given the
Knights of Pythias, encamped in the
white city of tents around the Wash
ington monument this afternoon. 1t
came in the form of fierce thunder
shower, which swept over the city
almost without warning, and then set
tied into steady rain until sunset.
Several tents were dismantled by the
sheets of rain which beat against
them, and the lightning was
unpleasantly sharp. All discomforts
incidental to the storm were accepted
in hilarious mood by the Knights, how
eyer. and they made fun under the can
vas as we'll as outside, after the first
drenching wave of rain had passed
over. There were reunions and cheers
for the arriving companies, while the
bands in camp kept going continuous
concert, endeavoring to outplay their
rivals. Special trains were pulling into
the depot, and the brilliantly uniformed
companies in scarlet, blue and white.
were marching up Pennsy lvania avenue
through the rain, many displaying
handsome banners. Especially striking
was the Florida phalanX, presenting a
cleaning array of white duck trousers
and carrying at the head of the line the
most famous product Of their state, a
stuffed alligator rampant. In the
face Of the weather, hundreds of
residents focked to inspect the
camp during the day, trooping the
avenues of tents and crowdlng about
goats and other paraphernalia, animate
and inanlmate, brought by the West
erners, who are in a large majority
today. Fine discipline was maintained
in the encampment, something like
martial regulations being enforced.
Three thousand men sleep on the light
