Three Boys KILLED.

W Washington, July 2S-Early this
morning John Gardner, a colored man,
made a horrible find while walking on
the tracks of the Baltimore X Ohio rail
road. neas Riverdale Park, a suburb Of
this city. Lying in the ditch in one
heap were the mangled bodies of three
boys ranging in age from 10 to 10.
They had evidently been run down by
a train passing the point about O'Clock
Saturday night, and had remained un-
discovered until Gardner found them
this morning The bodies were idetitied
as those of J. Waters Blundon, son of J.
L. BIundOn, a prominent contractor and
real estate broker of this city; Guy
Brownson, son OF w. H. BrOwnson, OF
this city, and Charles Lynch of River
dale.
1t is believed the boys were struck by
the fast Western express which passes a
local train at this point about the time
the accident Is supposed to have &C
Cured. The bodies were found huddled
together and mangled almost beyong
recognition. With them were found
several dead pigeons which the lads had
purchased at neighbor's house and
were taking to their homes. 4 coro
ner's jury was empaneled, but a verdict
was withheld until the testimony of the
train crews can be secured.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
Crank l;aiiS IL Church.

Pittsburg, Pa, July PA religious
crank, armed with a knife foot long
and a revolver, last evening stalked up
the main aisle of st. Paul's Roman
Catholic cathedral and declared that he
would kill everybody in the church. 1t
was Daniel MaIoney, and he said when
he had finished his bloody work there
he would 90 to the Episcopal residence
and then kill Bishop Phelan and all the
priests.
Bv the time he reached the altar,
where he intended to commence th'
massacre, the congregation preclpitately
re outside and gave the alarm. Ma
lOney, after making rapid tour of the
church, waiving his knife as he went.
started for the Episcopal residence, ut
tering threats as he proceeded.
Officer Thomas Seifgard lives but a
few doors away from the cathedral, and
he was attracted to the scene 10y the
crowd which had collected. He hasten
ed to the spot and placed Maloney under
arrest At first MalOney was inclined to
offer resistance, but he quieted down
when the officer told him he would as
Sist him in killing the men he said were
his enemies. Maloney was locked up
and was given a hearing this morning,
when he was sent to the work house.
The examination revealed that Ma
loney Is a crank on religion, and thai
had he not been taken into custody
when he was he would probably have
carried out his threats.

40 Soldiers Drowned.

Kobe, Japan, July 2S.-A frightful
accident, in which 40 soldiers perished,
has occurred on the railroad running
from this place to Osaka. \ train of %
cars was conveying to this city 100 Jap
aneSc soldiers who were returning from
China, where they had taken part in the
military operations.
\ heavy storm was raging, and as the
train was running along the sea wall, on
which the tracks, as they approach the
city, are laid, an immense sea leaped
over the wall, separating the train and
derailing the engine and II cars, which
plunged off the wall into the bay. Most
of the men in them were drowned like
rats in a trap. The accident occurred
about l o clock in the morning, and the
night was pitch dark.
The sea was running so high that 1t
was impossible to render any assistance
to the men in the cars that had gone
overheard, even had means been at hand
to do so. Some of the men, who man
aged to get out of the cars while they
were in the water, were dashed to death
against the wall.

Death in Il Wasp's Sting.

Paterson, \. J., July 2S.-Henry
Smith, aged -, retired painter, living
in the village of HaIedon, near here,
was stung to death 10y wasp tonight.
Mr. Smith was crossing the lawn ad-
joining his house toward a windmill
which he intended to stop. when wasp
stung him on the left hand He suf-
fered severely from the pain, and called
out to his nephew as to what he should
do for relief. The young man told him
to apply a handful of wet earth Smith
did so, and started back towards the
house, holding the mud to his injured
hand. As he reached the house he tot
tered and fell into the arms of his neph-
ew. Before medical aid reached the
house Smith expired.
DR.. ). Y kinnc, of this city, who was
called, says the wasp penetrated a nerve
that communicates with the brain and
caused death.

AT Atlantic City on Wednesday Gov
ernOr McCorkle, Of West Virginia, who
was spending a week there was sums
mOned to Wheeling by telegram urg
ing him to come Immediately. When
asked the cause of his sudden departure
the governor said: There is a strong
probability of a strike among coal min
ers on an immense scale, beginning in
Pennsylvania and spreading throughout
West Virginia, Illinois, Ohio and Indi-
ana. The miners of the Flat Top re
gion are dissatisfied with the settlement
NJ ade recently and the wage scale
adopted by the conference" 1t is ru-
mOred that the news comes through sec
retary of the Mine Workers Union Nc
Bryde, who was associated with the gov
ernOr in the conference which settled
the late trouble among the miners of
West Virginia. The miners have been
very much dissatisfied with the settle
ment arrived ata the conference. Gov
ernOr McCOrkle left early on Thursday
morning and hopes to settle the matter
before there Is any outbreak.

Is IT not the season for the tide of
business to rise, but there is perceived,
says D,m's Reliar, scarcely any shrink
age except that which comes naturally
with midsummer heat. Lateness of
spring trade threw heavy settlements in
to the second week of July, and Clear
ing House payments are now almost a
quarter smaller than in that week, but
are p. per cent. larger than last year,
and only 60 per cent. smaller than in
the same week of 1899. The volume of
new business is small compared with re
cent months, but large enough to en-
courage more opening of long closed
works, and more advances in returns to
labor. Important strikes show that the
advance is not enough for some, but
seem not more threatening than a week
ago. The small shipments of gold count
for nothing, and money markets are un-
disturbed. \ graver cause of apprehen
sion, if current reports were reliable,
would be the injury to wheat, which has
affected the markets more this week
than at any other time since early in
June, but with reason or without, the
reports are generally believed to be ex-
aggerated, and the dispatches to Dtn'S $
Rerie1C are much more favorable.

AFTER promulgating a system of rules
the new superior court has adjourned
until November. The assignments of
the sessions Of the court in five different
districts, OF the state beginning in No
vember. in Philadelphia cover seven
months. But 1t Is in the highest degree
probable that the business Of this super
iiuous court Of appeals Will not require
three months Of the year. There was
not the slightest necessity for organ
lzatIon of this expensive tribunal with
its seven highly salaried Cadis at the
very beginning OF the summer vacation.
The only reason for IL was to enable
Governor Hastings to select his favorites
for judges and thus anticipate the choice
of the Republican state convention. 1t
remains to be seen whether the Repub-
Ican convention will tamely submit to
this executive dictatiOn, in which the
claims of superior merit and of locality
were alike ignored.

physician OF 115 Johnson street, into an

THAT well known Republican paper the
Philadelphia Inquirer in speaking of the
contest in the Republican party between
the QUAY and Hastings Porter Magee
factions says:
Why. the whole campaign thus far
has been one of treachery. Now We
have bribery added. One of Mr.. Ma
gees chief Iieutenants Is charged abso-
luteIv by two delegates from Indiana
county with an attempt to purchase
their votes. They give the details in so
straightforward manner that in spite
of denials from the accused, the dele
gates will be believed. And why
shouldn't they be beIieved2 Bribery IS
ererlnrbere. 1t has been used in PhIla-
delphia.
Offices have been given both here and
at Harrisburg for votes in the coming
convention. Appointments made al
most daily are nothing but bribes for
support Why, then, should not the
right down to an actual cash basis? II
Magee lieutenant is handling promises
to pay in such reckless manner, 1t Is
not 10 be presumed for an instant that
Maggie himself would permit the Repub-
licans of Allegheny to wrest his delegates
| from him.
What a beautiful campaign of fan
play this is, First we have delegates SCI
up far in advance of the convention
secretly picked out in the belief tina
they would all take orders against Quay
! Then we have offices almost withOu
number handed around to make more
delegates, and when these things fail We
have actual bri6eru Jrith cash.

Had His PensIen Renewed.

Shamokin, Pa, July 29.-Being un>
able to longer keep the wolf from his
door, Peter w. Miller, an aged and dis
abled veteran of the late rebellion, made
the journey to Washington on foot, and
after having shown Pension Commits
sioner Lochren the scars from wounds
received in battle succeeded in having
his paltry pension of So per month re-
stored. The tramp was hard one for
the poor old soldier, but officials of the
pension bureau, realizing that he had
been done a great injustice, fed him
while at the nations capital and fur
nIshed him with transportation back to
Shamokin.
