WALLA WALLA, WASH, July 12.-
Another brutal murder was committed
in the penitentiary this afternoon, the
victim being William Ellis, and the
murderer William Harrison, both con-
victs. The men were working in the
jute mill, running looms about 40 feet
apart. About o'clock Guard August
Henriod, who was occupying cage in
the center of the mill, noticed COM
motion among the convicts near the
loom where Ellis was working. Sud-
denly Harrison grasped Ellis round
the neck with his left hand. and to the
guard it appeared as though Harrison
was striking Ellis with his right hand.
The guard leveled gun at Harrison,
who Immediately loosened his grasp on
Ellis, and, dropping down behind the
loom, crawled about 80 feet away and
hid behind a bale of sacks. Ellis then
walked over to the overseer's desk and
fell on the floor. 1t was then noticed
that he was wounded, and that blood
was flowing from his side in a stream.
The wounded man was hurriedly taken
to the penitentiary hospital and DR.. J.
E. Bingham, the penitentiary ply
sician, was summoned, when it was
found that Ellis had received six knife
wounds. two in the right arm, two in
the stomach and two in the breast.
One of those in the breast pierced the
right lung, and one passed entirely
through the liver. Ellis only lived an
hour, death resulting from internal
bleeding. He was only conscious q
short time, and it was impossible to
get him to tell the story of the affray,
beyond saying that Harrison killed
him with knife. They were on bad
terms, having had quarrel several
daYs ago.

From Mr.. Bryant we learn that he is
not bad boy when left to his own
impulses; but in company with Nc
Murray was induced TO escape from
the institution. He was q trusty at
the school; but McMurray had not the
same reputation. There are now at
school from this county three boys
Patton, Nickelsen and Valentine, and
they are reported as well behaved and
much improved in conduct. Every
one Is taught some useful employment,
and careful watch kept over their
behavior. Shontell worked on farm,
Patton is waiter in the dining room,
and Valentine drives span OF mules.
There Is shoemaker's and car
penter's shop in connection with the
school, and some boys are placed at
work in these places. Punishment Is
administered when deemed necessary
by means of a leather strap, and the
boy receives one or more blows accord
ing to the gravity of the offense.
There are no dark rooms In the build
ing, and, aside from strapping on the
back, the officers OF the school adopt
no severe method of enforcing dis
cipline. The institution answers o
wise purpose in reforming some boys,
and keeping others in submission.
Some are so mischievous that improve
ment seems impossiblei- but while at
the school they are kept under dis
cipline, and this is beneficial for the
time.

soon after the tug Mcclure; but the
yacht was so far away that the men
were all drowned before the crew
could reach them. All that was found
was cap, which proved to have be-
longed to Mr.. Stillson. The cause of
the boat sinking so quickly was the
fact that she had a great amount of
ballast. which could not be shifted,
and the owner had not put in any air

HACKENsACK, N. j., July ia
terrific storm swept over this section
this afternoon, doing great damage.
At Cherry Hill, small village few
miles from here. it developed cyclonic
fury, attended by the demolition of the
village and number Of deaths.
The depot standing between the
tracks of the New York & New Jersey
railroad was demolished. The wind
first took the roof and landed it 100
feet away. Then the wall fell. The
station agent was badly injured. Op-
posite the depot was the hotel of the
village, kept by Conrad Friederman.
In it at the time. besides the proprie-
tor, were his wife and three children.
Just as the storm broke he hurried
them into the street, fearing the build.
ing was unsafe. Then he returned to
secure some money, and had reached
the door when the whirlwind struck
him. He was caught and hurled 20
feet to the ground, the building falling
over and crushing him to death. One
OF his children was Injured by falling
timbers,
The infant of the Ahrens family was
lying In the crib when the crash came.
The house was unroofed, and flying
stick struck the child in the head,
tearing off one of the ears as clean as
though severed by surgeons knife,
causing death. When the husband,
who is a New York business man,
returned, he found his wife sitting
amid the ruins with the body of her
dead child in her arms.
Two of the Polish laborers who
were killed took shelter in barn,
which was carried away by the storm.
Half an hour later the mangled bodies
were dragged from the ruins. The
third Pole killed met his fate in a
similar manner. Hardly person liv-
ing in the track of the storm escaped
injury. All were cut or bruised, many
it is thought fatally.
Latest reports indicate that Willie
Freiderman, whose father was killed,
will also die. Alex Johns, the village
blacksmith, was buried beneath the
timbers of his shop. He was taken
out badly bruised. 1t is not thought
he will recover. His house was car
ried along the ground until il struck
and was dashed to pieces. Edward
Chimok was seriously II not fatally in-
jured by the falling of his barn.
At the hamlet OF Paramount, q few
miles from Cherry Hill, six houses
we're blown down and a dozen persons
injured, As yet no fatalities have
been reported, The storm did no
great damage at Hackensack
The news of the disaster at Cherry
Hill was brought here and all the
physicians in town started for the
scene. Governor Wortz has been
asked to send tents there. The storm
swept from Cherry Hill to Andercliff.
There it was not so disastrous, for it
merely grazed the village. Many
houses were unroofed and trees up
rooted.

Grover Young started for an outing
on the headwaters Of Eight and Fiji
teen Mile, and returned yesterday
afternoon. With the well-known repu-
tation of these gentlemen 1t Is unnec-
essary to state that the streams in the
vicinity Of their camp were thoroughly
fished, and that they have many less
inhabitants than they had few days
ago. 1t Is also unnecessary to state that
the phosphorescent element in trout is
excellent brain food, and that 1t stim-
ulates the gray matter to greater activ-
ity, whether by the expansion OF the
cellular tissue or the creation Of new
cells has not been scientifically deter

is also an uncontrovertible proposition
that the editor of this paper masticated
some very toothsome food in the shape
of fried trout for breakfast this morn
ing: and, further, that these were at
tracted from their native element by
seductive hooks placed in the water by
Messrs. Phillips g. Co., for which
thanks are rendered. or course, IL

DIPLOMATIC SCANDAL.
Spanish And American Oficials Have
Been Accused.


Been Accused.
NEW York, July 15.-A special to
the World from Washington says
'sSpain's payment of the Mora claim,
as Indicated by cable, will, at least, de.
feat the intrigues of American and
foreign claim sharps. For years a
coterie of diplomats at Washington
and Madrid have sought to make the
sentiment of this historic award condi-
tional on the Acknowledgements OF
counter claims by the United States.
"The story of all this plotting to
mulct the government brings to light
a serious diplomatic scandal and
shows how the Mora claim has secretly
been made to figure as an important
incident in a scheme for securing the
transfer of Cuba to the United States.
Nathaniel Page, the weil-known inter-
national lawyer, who for years has
represented the Mora family, fur.
nishes documents and letters which
seem to throw food of light on the
distractions interposed to prevent the
payment of the Mora award. Mr..
Page specifically charges ex-Secretary
of State and Minister to Spain John
w. Foster with this work. Mr.. Fos.
ter has denied the charge and Mr..
Page now comes forward with papers
which he claims substantiate the
charge. Mr.. Page, however, charges
that several Spanish ministers of this
country, as well as attaches of the
French legation, obstructed the Mora
interests and did all they could to in
duce him to hold up the Mora claims.
"Mora is living in West Sixty-third
street, New York, with his daughter.

The Portland Lost.

PORT TOWNSEND, July 1.-THE
steamer Chilcat, from Alaska, arrived
today, reports the steamer Portland
was wrecked last week near Dungas
island. The vessel was going from
Seattle to Chinook river, laden with
supplies. Near Dungas island, thick
weather came on, and she anchored
for the night. In that part of Alaska,
the tides have fall of over 80 feet.
In few hours, when the tide was at
its lowest, a sharp rock pierced the
keel, demolishing the timbers and
wholly wrecked the steamer. Every
effort was made to save the vessel,
without avail, but most of the movable
property was taken ashore. The
Portland is said to be owned by Cap
tain A. Brotherton and others of
Seattle, and to represent loss of $4,000.
