A PLAN TO BUY ROME.


spanish Catholics Propose a Scheme to Re-
 store the Pope's Temporal Power.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 5.-A World cable special says: "A story comes to me which would seem preposterous, except for it's apparent unimpeachable author ity. It is that number of wealthy Spaniards have addressed serious communication to prominent and rich Catholics in France, Austria and En- gland, proposing to raise fund to pur- chase Rome from Italy and thus free the pope from his imprisonment (albeit voluntary, and make him again a temporal ruler Italy's almost bank rupt condition is quoted as a reason for the belief that the government would accept the proposition. The scheme seems wild enough were it not that Italy's condition is now one of the most alarming elements in the European situation and rapidly driving her helplessly tax ridden people towards anarchy"

 Pa.-Twenty Persons Frustrated.
 QUAKERTowN, Pa, Aug. 5.-The Methodist church of this place was struck by lightning yesterday, and twenty persons were prostrated. Nearly all of them were knocked sense- less by the stroke, and it is feared that deaths will result.
 Dr. Bowman, the pastor, had just pronounced the benediction at the morning services when the bolt struck the belfry, running around the edifice under the weatherboard and down un- der the flooring. The services hav- ing been all but concluded, many persons were in the vestibule and aisles of the church. Besides the seriously injured, fourteen persons were maimed and scared. The houses of the town were turned into emergency hospitals and the vi"tipns are being cared for Sexton Bauman had his coat torn from his back and one of his shoes was stripped as by a knife. Horses broke the tie posts out side the church and many of them ran away. A veritable panic followed the stroke. After the excitement had sub sided it was found that the GOO pound bell in the cupola was hanging almost on a thread, while fully 100 persons were directly under it. The church edifice is almost wreck, as the light ming penetrated from all sides.

A NOES VIOLENCE.
Unruiy Italians Attack Negro Colony Neal
 Spring Valley, III.


 SPRING VALLEY, H., Aug. 5.-The location, a patch of some hundred odd company houses near No 3 shaft, in- habited almost exclusively by negroes, was yesterday morning visited by vengeful mob of 800 Italian miners and given a taste of mob violence. Satur- day night near midnight five colored men.held up a white man named Barney Role between this city and the loca- tion, and after robbing him of nearly $lO0 in money, fired three pistol shots into him and left him for dead. Role is the third man shot at the location in the past few weeks.
 When the white miners of this city yesterday morning heard of the out rage they assembled on the public square and decided to march in body to General Manager Dalzelrs house and demand of him the discharge of every colored man in the location. A brass band was secured and the mob repaired to the general managers house. He refused to grant what the white miners wanted. They then told him that, as he was not disposed to run them out of town, they would take the matter up themselves, and with that they marched toward No. 3.
 By the time the mob arrived at the location most of the negroes, having been notified of the wrath of the whites, had fled to the woods. About dozen were caught and treated to most violent kicks. Stones were hurled at them and shots fired. Two were shot, but not seriously hurt.
 By noon yesterday every negro had fled the city. All afternoon a gang of men with pistols and shotguns secured the woods, hunting for negroes to shoot at. Sheriff Clark, who was tel egraphed for, arrived in the afternoon, with a dozen deputies. No more trouble is anticipated, unless the me- groes attempt to come back.
 The rioters yesterday evening served notice on the women and children who had not been driven out that they and the invalids would be given until to- day to leave the town, and that if they were not gone they would be shot down in their tracks. Consequently the women have been packing all that is left of their household goods and fleeing over the hills in all directions.

Another Massacre by Chinese Reported
 from ku (heng.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. 1.-The state de- partment yesterday received later in- telligence of the killing of missionaries in Ku Cheng, China.

 Although Mir. Jernigan does not use the word missionaries" in his dis patch, there is no doubt felt by the of- icials of the state department that he refers to them, and that his dispatch is intended as supplementary to that of Satnrhav
