A CALIFORNIA TRAGEDY.
A Man Kills His Wife, Father and
Mother-in.L Law and Brother-in.

Law.
Los ANGELES, CAL. July 26.-Three
people instantly killed and one fatally
wounded was the wholesale murderous
record made by John Craig. an expo
liceman, last night. About o'clock
last evening Craig hired rig and drove
to the house of his divorced wife. stu
ated in Corrillites canyon, near Tropico.
where she resided with her uncle.
Before Craig started he announced
his intention to see his children.
but murder was evidently his intention,
as he had armed himself. and
had been drinking heavily during
the afternoon. When he arrived at his
wife's house he deliberately drew a
revolver and shot her dead. Her broth
er, George Hunter, who was some dis
lance from the house when the shooting,
occurred, rushed to his sisters assist
ance. Craig also shot him, inflicting a
wound which proved fatal. He then
jumped into his buggy and drove rap
idly back to Los Angeles. Arriving at
the house of his father-in-law, William
Hunter, he tied his horse and without
any ceremony ran into the house and
shot and Instantly killed both his
father-in-law aud mother-in-Iaw. He
then applied the pistol to his own
head, with the evident intention of
ending his own existence. but only
succeeded in lnfiictieg slight flesh
wound. Two neighbors rushed in and
disarmed Craig. holding him until the
arrival of the police. Mrs. Craig secured
d divorce about two mouths ago on the
ground OF cruelty. Craig claims that
his wife and her family have frequently
threatened his life and that his shooting
anticipated the fulfilIment of this
threat. AS police officer Craig had
the reputation of being very quarrel
some and aggressive. He distinguished
himself while OH the force by partici-
pating in numerous brawls. He has
three children, the eldest being but five
years old.

THE STRIkEsiS LOST.
Troops Not Much Needed In Call
forRfa

SAN FRANCISCO. July Co. That the
railroad strike In Northern California is
believed TO be nearing the end is shown
in the fact that propositions are being
made to retire the state militia from the
field. Company FL, First United States
infantry. arrived at Oakland, and was
assigned to duty at sthe Oakland mole
today. At Sacramento a large force
of militia and regulars are still
maintained. Troops are also held
at Dunsnuir and Red Bluff on the
Oregon branch. At Truckee and Rock
lin there is a strong force of regulars
and marines. Armed guards continue
to escort many of the more important
trains, but of late there have been no
serious disturbances. At Sacramento
nearly 1000 men are at work in the
railroad shops The strikers who have
refused to return have been paid their
wages in full. The railroad company Is
still badly in need of men for many
lines of particular work. but there is no
longer any doubt that the strikers have
lost their cause. and that there is NO
longer any hope of compromise.

WILKEsBARRE, July ga number
of Lehigh Valley Coal company officials
this morning went on a tour of inspec.
ton or the Exeter niue, one of the COM
pany's collieries at West Pittston. The
party comprised Supt. Mason, of Pitts
ton; Robert Mercur, of the Lehigh Val

Darrell, of Lehigh university, and
Foreman William Wilson. With the
party was the foreman, Jacob Gates.
While going up the old air shaft, which
is second opening for the Exeter

Col. Mason was killed by the

MIR. Mercur was badly and Prof. Bar

is the one in which, In 1870, twenty
seven men and boys met death from

breaker. which was directly over the

accident occurred today. has not been
used. and was in use today because of
repairs in the n ain shaft. Foreman
Gates says the accident was due to the

WORK PROGRESSES
In Clearing Away tho Market
House Debris.

Al SicdrIuS away tho market
House Debris.
In speaking of the complaints con-
erning the work of clearing away the
debris of the market house recently de-
stroYed by fire, and much of which is in
decayed and mephitic condition, L. B.
Walker yesterday said:
I'VE put teams and men into those
ruins as fast as we could get them. Up
to yesterday we had seventy men and
forty five teams, but as the Seventh
street side is partly cleared we were
obliged to reduce the number to fifty
men and about thirty teams. That is as
large crew as can work there.
Il wrote also, continued Mr.. Walker,
''that the South side market men are
trying to get the city council to compel
the gardeners and farmers to 70 to their
market. The Central market has not
asked any aid in keeping them on its
grounds, but has left it TO the choice of
the gardeners themselves. We are pre-.
pairing places ON our own land for them.
and they are at liberty to come in or
stay out. can't see why the South
side men should ask for compulsion in
this matter"

SERIOUS AT PULLMAN.
Food Supplies Are SCARCE. but tn,
Troops Still There.

ATOopS DUH 4A0ESs
CHICAGO, July 26.-The situation at
Pullman Is fast approaching a crisis for
the men, and also for the company.
The question Of food supplies ia vital
topic.among the strikers, aud the con-
templated withdrawal OF the militia
makes imperative some decisive move
ment on the part of the company.
Mayor Hopkins. in recent interview,
said he saw ne necessity for
the presence Of Col. Turner's
forces at Pullman SO. long as
the company refused to outline any
policy regarding the future operations
of its plant. II is not at all Improbable
that by next Saturday night the mayor
will order the return OF the First regi-
ment unless some move is made by the
company.
The strikers relief committee is en-.
tireiy out of the necessaries of life and
nothing seems to be coming in. The
company Is anxious that at least por.
ton Of the soldiers he left at Pullman,
but it Is not likely that they will be al.
lowed to remain.

Curious Phenomena which Have Often

This has been a most exceptional
winter all over the country and, In
some places, phenomena have &C.
Cured which have frightened ignor.
ant people. In New York State
there have been showers OF angle
worms" and In Ohio 'showers OF land
snailS" These animals must have
been brought out from the uncOv-
cred ground by the wet and thus have
given the idea that they fell from
the sky.
Such showers as these, however,
have not alarmed people half as much
as some things which have occurred
in the past. The showers Of

one have taken place In Europe and
America during the century, have
served to greatly brighten people.
They are accounted for by very COM
mOnplacc reasons In 1870 a shower
OF this kind fell ut the Hague and

Great Carrying Power or Bees.


An interesting note about the
weight OF bees appears in an Ameri-
can journal devoted to agriculture,
writes DR.. Andrew Wilson In an ex-
change. 1t seems that an ordinary
bee. not carrying any load OF pollen,
weighs the one tive-thOusaIdth part
OF pound. Five thousand bees thus
make q pound weight When, how
ever, the bee is carrying the load Of
pollen or honey, as he returns from
foraging amid the flowers, his weight
is increased nearly three times. He
carries thus about twice his own
weight, result not surprising to
those who have studied the muscular
powers and ways OF insects at large.
When bees are loaded it requires only
800 OF them to make up the pound.
Details are also given regarding the
number OF bees which may exist IL q
hive. From four to five pounds
weight OF bees are found In an ordin-
AIRY colony. This means In figures OF
population some 20, 900 TO %, 900 in
dividuals. A big swarm, 1t Is said,
will often double this estimate. Talk
ing of bees, II any OF my readers
wish to indulge In a very curious and
fascinating bit of geological study,
they should read the story of what IL
called ''parthenOgenesis' in bees and
other insects, such as the aphides or
green flies of the roses and other
plants For suoh eggs Of the queen
bee as are fortified when laid turn
out workers (Or neuters) or queens,
while those which are not fertilized
at all develop into males or drones.
This is very singular, because fertili-
cation of an egg or. seed is regarded
ordinarily as necessary for its due de-
velopment
