SANTO SENTENCED.

The Assassin of President Carnot to Die by
the GuillOtine.
LYONS, Aug. 4.-There were few peo-
pie around the palace of justice when
the trial of Santo, the assassin Of Pres
ident Carnot, was resumed to-day. The
court regulations and military guard
were the same as yesterday and as yes
terday the prisoner was escorted into
the dock handcuffed to two gendarmes
and with two more bringing up the
rear. The prisoner seemed even more
defiant than yesterday and took his
seat with a hooking smile upon his
face.
The prosecuting attorney reviewed
at length all the details of the trial and
demanded that the jury should not hes
itate to do its duty.
At about noon the jury retired, and
after an absence of about fifteen min
utes, during which there was cOnsid-
cradle excitement in court, the jury
returned and announced verdict of
guilty without extenuating circum-
stances.
The presiding Judge, NJ. Breuillac,
then pronounced the sentence of death
by the guillOtine.

KANSAS CROPS.

Their Condition Has Improved Very Much
I'm the Past Ten Days.
TOPEKA. Kan. Aug. THE Topeka
Capital yesterday published crop re-
port CLEANED from sixty-seven of the
los counties in the state. which shows
the condition to be a great deal better
than was supposed week OF
ten days ago. The report shows
that the wheat is turning out
much better in nearly all parts of
the state than was expected. Many
counties that were expected to pro-
duce practically none have enough for
bread and seed, and those in which a
fair crop was promised have yielded
most bountifully. 1t looks as if the
$4,000, 900 bushel estimate of the state
board of agriculture will be considera-
bly, exceeded.
The corn crop has been materially
reduced by the dry weather. In the
eastern counties it is practically un-
damaged and will yield abundantly.
West of Topeka few fields have entire
ly escaped damage, and, on the other
hand, few have been entirely ruined.
Nearly every corn county will have
enough grain to feed.

CHICAGO PANIC.
Exciting Scene at q Sunday Baseball Game
In the Lake City.

Exciting Scene at q Sunday Baseball Game
In the Lake City.
CHICAGO, Aug. 6.-The discovery OIL
fire in the grand stand at the West
Side ball park yesterday afternoon
caused wild panic among the specta'
tors, in which several met serious in
jury and large number OF others
were slightly cut and bruised In trying
to make their exit. The Chicago and
Cincinnati baseball clubs were battling
with each other and 10000 crowded
into the grounds to witness the game.
Every available seat in the grand stand
and bleachers was occupied and large
crowd of men and boys contented
themselves at not finding seats in TAX
ing up their positions on the ball field.
The game had advanced to the seventh
inning with the Chicagos leading the
Red Stockings by seven runs, when
fire cry was heard from the bleachers,
and a thin veil of smoke was seen
creeping through the cracks OF the
grand stand. The cry of fire was taken
up on all sides and in very short time
terrible panic ensued.
The four exits leading from the
grand stand were damned with anxious
men and boys and also sprinkling OF
women. The exits were not large
enough to permit the throng to go
through and hundreds of men sought
places of safety by jumping over the
barbed wire fence and into the ball
ground. The four rows of barbed
wire which encircle the stand proved
very disastrous to the people who at
tempted to make their way through
them to the grounds. A jam of
men and boys crowded to the barbed
wire fences but they were not able to
get through, owing to the closeness OF
the wires, the first reaching the fence
scaled it successfully, but those that
followed, in their anxiety to get safe
quarters, tried to crawl through and in
nearly every instance became wedged
between the wires and their clothing
was torn in shreds and hands and legs
were lacerated by the sharp barbs.
The damage amounted to about ST.
600. The fire was caused by cigar
cite thrown into some shavings. More
than twenty persons who were injured
were taken to adjacent hospitals.

WORK OF DESPERADOES.
Train Robbers Attempt to Wreck Train
with Dynamite.

Train Robbers Attempt to Wreck 4 Train
with Dynamite.
PACIFIC, Mo-, Aug. 4.-The Frisco
passenger train which left st. Louis
last night at $40 was held up by lone
robber near Eureka. He was in the
express car when the messenger. E. D..
Ferguson, returned to it from the for
ward car, where he had gone for some
way bills, and sprang from behind the
safe, revolver in hand. as the meSsen-
ger entered. Ferguson grasped the re
volver and it went off, the ball going
through his thumb and entering his
left shoulder. He returned the fire
but owing to the confusion it was i'm.
possible to determine whether he
wounded the robber or not. The rob
Der then pulled the air cord, and whep
the train slowed up jumped of and es
caped in the darkness without secur.
ing any money.
A most remarkable feature OF the at
tempt at train robbery was the escape
of the entire train and 1873 persons
upon it from absolute destruction.
Desperadoes, who were undoubtedly
accom- plices of the fellow with whom
Express Messenger Ferguson had
a fight, forced open a car of
dynamite, which stood on the side
track at the station at Eureka, and stole
two big dynamite cartridges that were
intended for heavy blasting in quar-
ries and mines. They were placed by
the bandits on the rails. When the
forward wheels of the engine rolled on
the cartridges there was terrific ex-
plosion which lifted the machine from
the tracks and tore the pilot from the
steel bolts with which it was riveted to
the engine. All the forward part of
the machine was wrecked and twisted
and, although it was able to carry the
train few miles beyond, it was so
badly wrecked that another engine had
to be procured.
The entire train was severely shaken,
the windows broken and the packages
of letters thrown from the boxes in
the mail car. 1t is wonderful how the
carload of dynamite escaped. The ex-
plosion tore great hole in the earth,
wrenched the rails from their fasten-
ings and flung the ties in every di-
rection. It tore open one side of the
dynamite car and exposed to view tons
of the powerful explosive, yet for some
unaccountable reason this great mass
of dynamite, with energy enough to
blow an entire city off the face of the
earth, did not explode.
