A R1oodIess RattIe with Safe Rreakers.

There was a bloodless battle between
burglars and citizens in Norfolk, Conn,
early Friday morning Winthrop Cone
and family were aroused about l o'clock
by the burglar alarm connecting Cones
store with his house. Cone and Harry
Tobey, armed with Winchester rifles, start
eli for the store. They exchanged shots
with the two men on guard, and during the
fuslade the safe in the store exploded.
Cone, latter firing his Winchester three times
without effect, leveled it at one of the burg
lars at short range and pulled the trigger,
but the gun refused to work. The reports of
the shooting brought other citizens to the
scene, and total of fifteen shots were
fired but nobody was hurt, After the two
burglars in the store had got the booty
from the wrerb i safe they joined their
pals on the c side and the four escaped.
They got S1z and six watches. The eX-
plosion of the safe badly demolished one
part of the store.
More than twenty safes have been
cracked in western Connecticut during the
past year and it is thought that a gang of
robbers are hiding in the mountains.

Defender Beats Vigilant.
She is Apparently the Better Boat I'm
Both Light and Heavy Winds.

She is Apparently the Better Boat i'm
Both Light and Heavy winds.
Ever since the news came from across
the water that George Watson had built in
the Valkyrie Ill. fast light weather yacht,
American yachtsmen have felt somewhat
uneasy about the fate of the America cup.
1t was proved pretty conclusively Saturday
that they need not be afraid of the Defen-
der in the lightest of airs she will move
ahead in the merest breath. On the whole,
the trial of the new yacht against the
Nigilant off Newport was not satisfactory
as test of one vessel against another. 1t
was always believed that the Nigilant was
the most slippery boat ever built, in light
weather, but the trial proved that the
Defender is a shade more CLASSY under
such conditions. In running down the
wind the boats seemed to be about on even
terms, but in reaching, the Vigilant's
strong point, the Defender pulled out from
her. In going to windward, the honors
also seemed to belong to the new boat, but
before they had had much of a trial on this
tack the five-knot breeze fell away flat and
the Vigilant was taken in tow for New
London at once. The trial proved that the
Defender even in her present crude state
is more than a match for the cup defender
of 1898 and the Vigilant is now faster than
when she defended the cup successfully.

Allen Pettibone of CRANKY, Conn, "a
years old, committed suicide last week by
hanging himself. He was one of the best
known residents of Hartford county, and
sturdy, industrious farmer of the old New
England type. Some time ago Inflammation
set in in his feet, and it was necessary to
amputate three toes of each foot. He was
confined to his bed and nearly helpless.
The old man year ago had an iron hook
screwed into the wall above his bed, to
which was attached a rope, which hung
down to the floor This rope he used to
aid him in getting in and out of his bed
and in turning about during the night
At 6 o'clock Wednesday morning his son,
who is sixty years old, went to the bed
room to call his father and saw his dead
body half suspended between the floor and
bedside. The rope was knotted about his
throat, and it was evident that he had died
of stranguation. The old man was a de-
voted Second Adventist, and familiar fig
ure at all the gatherings of that sect.

THE NEWS IN BRIEF.
An Eastern Tornado.

Villages destroyed and People Killed
in New Jersey and on Long Island---
Crops Damaged In Massachusetts and
Connecticut.
Six lives lost, over $50 people injured
one village practically destroyed, and me-
than so families made homeless were the
results of a few fatal minutes Saturday,
when the most destructive tornado that the
Eastern states have known swept over a
narrow path in eastern New Jersey and an
other embracing Harlem and strip across
Long Island. The cyclone seems to have
started at Allentown, five miles north of
Paterson, n. j., and swept to the south
east in two parallel courses, one branch
destroying the hamlet of Cherry hill, n. j.,
and the other leaping the Hudson, filling
Harlem with dismay, and then with an
other spring across the sound, ploughing a
furrow across Long Island and bringing
death and destruction to the village of
Woodhaven. The place that suffered most
was Cherry Hill, n. j., a hamlet Of 80
houses, five miles from Hackensack. Five
persons were killed and over Zoe injured.
The other town where there was loss of
life was Woodhaven, a small village just
outside of the Brooklyn city limits, in
Queens county. Twenty-six buildings were
destroyed and many more wer" 1...s-sed.
Til lnss exceeds sfGG,UUU. Hampden coun-
ty, Mass, was visited by severe hail
and rain storm Saturday afternoon. At
Palmer and North Wilbraham the storm
was especially severe, the latter place suf-
fering from heavy fall of hail which lev
eled corn, potatoes ana other crops and
even knocked out window lights. In Suf-
field, Conn, and in that vicinity the tobac-
co is practically ruined. Violent winds
accompanied the storm. AT Sufiield Cen
tire the tobacco was almost entirely de-
stroyed Windsor Locks, East Hartford,
Glastonbury, Manchester and Wethersfield
also suffered severely. In Hartford and
East Hartford the fall of hail was heavy,
the tobacco in the south of the former town
being totally ruined.

A Strange Story of an African Town
Paved with Human Skulls.

Capt. S. L. Hinde, who was in the Congo
medical service during the recent war,
which resulted in the expulsion of all the
Arab slave traders from the Congo, brings
home a story that south of the northern
bend of the Congo there is territory of
10000 square miles, which is almost a
blank on the maps. The region is peopled
by the Batatela tribe which he thinks the
most remarkable cannibals which he has
ever seen. There are neither gray hairs,
nor halt, nor blind. The unfortunate who
is marked by any physical imperfection is
killed and eaten. The tribe is the only
one which eats its own people. The chill
dren eat their parents Their numbers
are not depleted, and physically they are
superior to tribes around them. Ten
thousand of them were formerly in the ser
vice of the great slave raider Gougo Luetel.
Gougo's capital is fortified town on the
Iomani river and each of its four gates is
approached by handsome pavement of
human skulls, the bregma, or front part of
the skull, the only part showing above the
ground. More than 1000 skulls were
counted in one gate. The practice of
adjoining trees with skulls is also very gem
eral. After one battle where 10000 fell
only few. hundred beads and bones were
found. All the flesh had been carried
away by the cannibals. The flesh is boiled
or roasted before it is eaten. The tribe
eat their enemies killed in battle,

Fearful Plot Uncovered.
Holmes Murdered Not only PItezeI but
His Three children.


The bodies of Eta, Alice and Nellie
Pitezel, the missing daughters of b. F.
Pitezel, were found by Detectives Cuddy
of Toronto and Geyer of Philadelphia
Monday, buried in the cellar of a house at
Toronto, Canada. al. II. Holiness" now
under arrest at Philadelphia, is believed
by the police to have deliberately murder
ed the two girls, after, as the officers al
lege, he had first murdered their father in
Philadelphia and their brother in Detroit.
Holmes is held in Philadelphia on charge
of conspiracy. The murder having been
committed in Canada, the accused must be
tried within its boundaries, but as Holmes
has pleaded guilty to one charge in the
United States, he may insist on being SEN
fenced for that
II. II. Holmes, alias Herman w. Mudg-
EFT, alias II. II. Howard, was born in New
Haven, Conn, and later studied medicine
in Burlington this state, and in Ann Ar
Dor, Mich. He was married at the latte
place. lie and a friend swndled an m
surance company of Chicago out of @l2,-
600 soon after graduating. He ,dde an
other haul of $4,000 in similar way.
Holmes went into the drrg business and
specialized. His wife rent home, and he
he went to california. Returning in about
wear, he tried to cheat a fire insurance
company out of 100000, failed, and learn
ing that his typewriter and her sister had
inherited $50, 900, laid scheme to get the
money. The sister came to live with them
and disappeared. Holmes next appeared
in Terre Haute, Ind, where he baled b.
+. Pitezel out of Jail. From there he went
to Franklin, Ind, where he married Miss
Yoke, and they spent their honeymoon in
Denver, where Holmes made S27, 200 in
speculation. In Philadelphia, later on, he
and Pitezel played the last card. Pitezel
was insured in the Philadelphia Mutual
for $4,000. On Sept. his supposed
body was found in house on Callowhill
street, Philadelphia. Pitezeps wife and
children identified the body as Pitezel's,
and $500 of the insurance was paid over
Then Train-robber Hedgespeth gave the
whole case away to Chief of Police Har-
rison. Hedgespeth had been promised a
part of the $500, but it was not paid him.
Holmes was traced to Toronto, Burlington
and Boston, where he was arrested. Mean
while the Pitezel children had disappeared,
the boy being traced to indianapolis and
the two girls to Toronto.
