BURGLARY AND BLOODSHED
Negroes Break Open the Store of Charles MinitelIi-HiS Wife Shot in the Des-
 perate Struggle.

Shortly after 1 o'clock yesterday morn ing two negroes broke in the store and residence occupied by Charles Minitelli and his wife and attempted to burglar ize the premises. Minitell grappled with one of the negroes. Mrs. Minitelli r.-n to her husbands assistance, when the. e. gro pulled pistol and fired, the ball e,- tering and passing through the calf of her leg and making an ugly wound. MT. Minitelli grasped the pistol and finally succeeded in taking it away from the negro, after receiving severe wound in the forehead by being struck with the pistol, which was a 3S-calibre bull-dog
 The negro ran and MT. Minitelli started after him. As he did so the confederate of the negro, who ran, fired three shots at Minitelli, which so frightened him that he ran back to the house and refused to come out until daylight, when he sent for a physician and had his wifes wound dressed.
 The negroes broke open the door with an ax. which they picked up in an ad- joining yard. The pistol which Minitelli took from the negro was given to Officer Bodeker, who is making every effort 10 capture the would-be assassins, but so far has no clue to the perpetrators.

 The arrival in Germany of the first shipment of American iron ore has caused many alarmist articles to appear in the newspapers. Some of the papers urge feprisal by placing duty on que- bracho. Others oppose this proposal, de- elaring that the imposition of such duty would prove disastrous to the German tanning industry.
 It is characteristic of the feeling en- tertained in official circles towards the United States that the sugar bounty Is continued at the old rate despite the act passed by the reichstag empowering the bundesrath to lower it after August l.
 The statement recently published by the Paris Journal des Debats to the ef- feet that General Chrysander, Bismarck's s private secretary, had fallen into disgrace and been discharged, and that he would retaliate by publishing revelations, IS secuted here as absurd. The facts seem to be that since Prince Bismarck has grown weaker it has become imperative that there be somebody at Freiderichs- ruhe who is capable of receiving Vlsitors, whether they go there on business or pleasure.
 Dr. Chrysander is young and some what diffident and is hardly suitable to fill the post. This condition of affairs helped Count Von RantZau, Prince Bis marck's son-in-law, in his decision to re- sign his post of German minister to the Netherlands, although the necessity of his wife's presence at FrefderlchSruhe was doubtless the reason for his retiring from the diplomatic service. Count Won Rantzau has assumed the position of Prince Bismarck's major domo, which, with the princes frugal and unpreten- tious style of living is not more than he Is able to manage single-handed. Dr.. Chrysander, finding that his post had become a snecure and being aware of Prince Bismarck's turn for economy, re- signed his office. He will resume his medical studies at Jena in November. The suggestion that he intended to write revelations of any sort is myth.
 At present Prince Bsmarck's health s good, and he goes walking whenever he is able. On August 1 he walked to Aumuhle where he personally congratu- lated the pianist, Mrs. Burmester Peter sen on the anniversary of her birth. Mrs. Petersen is spending the summer all Aumuhe

 Charles Webster, citizen, shot in abdo. men, will die.
 For ten days or more the people in the immediate vicinity of Marion have suf fered from the depradations of tramps and a number have been arrested and placed in jail, but the arrests were dis couraged because of the expense to the authorities Especial immunity was thus gained.

 Some twenty-five citizens appeared al the camp and ordered the tramps ts leave. The order was met with defiant refusal and the citizens fired in the air The tramps at once deserted the camp and, from places of concealment, fired into the crowd. It was not supposed thai they were armed. but the citizens re- turned to the attack and a running fight which was kept up for an hour, followed The tramps lodged between railroad carl and kept up the fight by firing whenevel a citizen exposed himself, and the fir was returned by the citizens.
 McFreely and Webster will both die None of the tramps, as far as known were hurt. Several arrests were made but the men captured claim that they did no shooting.

THEIR DEADLY PERIL.
A Graphic Letter From a Missionary in China Shows the Gravity of Their
 Situation.

Minneapolis, Minn., Aug. 11.--A letter has been received here from Miss Segrid Helgeson, Norwegian girl, who went as medical missionary to China year ago. The letter is dated June II at Han-Kow, place in central China, on the Yang Tse-Kiang. She writes:
 Riots and unlawful acts occur daily. Six provinces not far from here have of late been devastated and property be- longing to foreigners destroyed by fire and other means. Many lives have been lost and innumerable arrests have fol- lowed We are apprehensive even here. Telegraph wires are down and we have had no communication with other set dement's for some time. Perhaps this is my last as well as first letter home But you must not think that l am weak ening or fear death. God is with me, if live or die.
 Yesterday visited one of my patients and when on my way home was attacked by a mob, who threw stones and mud. I was struck on the head and it made me feel pretty bad for the time, but today I am all right. One of my former patients happened to come along and by telling them that was harmless doctor saved my life, which I must surely otherwise have lost"

 Roof garden audiences shriek with laughter at this and every other man you meet will ask, Have you heard the latest?" and then he will tell this story and wonder why you don't split your sides laughing at it.

 ance and Maladministration.
 Omaha, Neb., Aug. 11.-A genuine sen sation was sprung before the board of county commissioners yesterday after noon in the form of serious charges against Frank E. Moore, who for nearly eight years has been clerk of the court here. The charges are preferred by J. H. Winspear, member of the board of public works; Fred J. Sackett, county clerk, and E. F. Davis, ex-president Of the city council. They allege that Moore is guilty of misdemeanors malfeasance and maladministration as district clerk in that he had unlawfully, wilfully and corruptly extorted moneys from litigants and charged excessive fees and took fees for services not actually performed. They asked that Moore be removed and the office declared vacant. The complaint and charges were referred to the judicial committee.

tage of the market and speculate on the necessities of the poor A wage-earner, pursuing his daily avocation, has not the time to watch the market and take ad- vantage of fluctuations nor the means to do so if he had the time. The great fortunes amassed in this country, about which much is said were made twenty years ago, when gold was at premium. That was the era of speculation and then fortunes were made in day. When the resumption of specie payments took place, and every dollar was equal to ev- cry other dollar, there was no opportuni- ty for such rapid accumulation. If this country should adopt the free coinage of silver we would have a fluctuating currency the era of speculation would return and this country would be in a worse plight than Mexico.

Emerald Isle, near the lakes of Killarney,
nearly four score and ten years ago, at
tempted to commit suicide at the city
farm, Saturday morning, by drowning,
but the opportune arrival of a life saving
crew pulled him from what might have
been q watery grave.
10 was only few weeks ago that jim
mie' made an attempt to end his sojourn
on this earthly sphere by partially cutting
his throat with a razor. and would no
doubt have completed the dreadful deed
had not rescuers came at the critical mo-
ment and ended his rash act. He in
formed them ut that time that he was
tired of living and would sometime carry
ont what he had begun.
Saturday morning he strolled out to the
pond few rods from the aims house, took
q long look at tho beautiful surrounding
country, bid farewell to the landscape
view, and plunged in. IIo was seen by
some Of tho inmates who called for help
and Ii was not many minutes when he
was taken out by Mr.. A. I. Fuller.
Tho overseers Of the poor were notified
and they had two physicians go to the
aims house and see if Jimmie was not
insane. They rendered an affirmative re-
port and now he is an inmate of the in
sane hospital.
