An Iowa Holdup.

BURLINGTON, To-, Jan. 13.-Burling-
ton passenger train No. 4, which ar.
rived here at 1910 last night 20 minutes
late. was held up between ~Chillicothe,
Iowa, and Ottumwa about 6:30 o'clock
last evening. Just as the train was
leaving that place two men with heavy
black masks on climbed in the side
door of the express car. One held up
the three occupants of the car with a
revolver while the other tied their hands
and then robbed the safe, which had
just been opened by the messenger to
put in some money pack iges. Bag
/ gageman E. L. Wright said the first he
knew of the robbery was the cry, Hold
mp your hands" He was busy with the
baggage and turning saw a fellow
pointing a revolver at him. Hold up
your hands" cried the robber.
Wright saw it was business and threw
up his hands. The robber then tied
him to the side of the car. He then
tied the expressman's helper and then
while the other robber covered Ex-
pressman J. s.. Page he emptied the con-
tents of the safe into a sack and tied
up the eXpressman. BY this time the
train was nearing Ottumwa and Just as
it was slowing up at the Milwaukee
crossing west of town Mail Agent John
Humphreys entered the car. He was
instantly covered and when the train
stopped both robbers sprang from the
car. When the train pulled into Ottum-
wa the robbery was reported and a
posse at once started in pursuit. The
amount of money secured was about
81, 500.

BRUTAL DEED OF A BRicKLAYER.
Becoming Enraged BY a Fretfui Babe He
Tore the Infants Flesh With
HIS Teeth.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Dec. 13.-Henry
Hawkins, bricklayer, who is drunk and
out OF employment most Of the time, lives
with his wife, to whom he has been mar
rled about three months, and family of
stepchildren. The youngest of the step
children is Bertha RathbuIn, bright babe
of 10 months.
On Tuesday night the family went to
bed earlier than usual. Hawkins took the
baby, Bertha, to bed with him. The little
one was fretful and began crying. The
stepfather became enraged and with the
brutality of demon he bit the breast of
the baby in dozen places, making great
raw spots and leaving the indentures of
his teeth. Not satisfied with this he
pinched the little ones sides with his big
hands until the blood spurted out and the
flesh was nearly severed from the body.
1t is thought that the brute would have
literally chewed the child to death had not
its mother and 19-year-old brother res
cued it from his fendish grasp.
DR.. S. II. Anderson was summoned and
feared at first that the child would die
from its wounds. The attention of the
Humane Society was called to the case and
Hawkins was lodged in jail in default OF

knights of Labor.
+ NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 13.-The large
hall at Cooper Union was filled with So
cialists tonight. A meeting was held un-
der the auspices of the Social Labor party.
1t was opened by Charles Franz, who
said that it was held as reception to the
more progressive delegates of the conven-
tion being held at Madison-square Garden,
and for the purpose of bringing about an
understanding between the Social Labor
party and the trades unionists.
The meeting was presided over by w. l..
Brewer, who made a short speech, in
which he criticized the "fakirs," as he
called them, who were in control of the
Knights of Labor. He said that the work
ingmen had little to hope for in the con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor.
Lucien Sanial spoke discouragingly of
the convention, and referred to Samuel
Gompers as pompous nonentity. He ad-
vocated the Belgian system of reorgani-
cation, which brings about the amalgama-
ton of Socialists and trades unionists.
He spoke encouragingly of the Sociallstic
condition in France. He concluded by
saying that situation more distressing
than that occasioned by the Chicago strike
was impending.

Joined in the fight, making for the open

ly within their houses and shops. The
Armenian porters, who were working
about the streets as usual, hastily dropped
their loads, and, with terror depicted on
their faces, fed, as they thought, fo- their
lives.
A number of English ladies were af-
fected by the fear that had seized upon all
the Christians, and fed from their pl aces
of residence to the British embassy,
where they claimed the protection of the
En- bassador.

handled and cavalry and infantry were de-
tailed TO patrol the streets. The panic
lasted for some time, and then subsided
almost as quickly as it had started.

later, which attempted to minimize the
affair. 1t ascribed the troubles to Ar

.UPROAR IN THE CHAMBER
Stormy Scene Growing Out of
Gallenda's Charge Against
the Magistrates.
Italian Statesmen Make Little Progress
in Investigating the Rome
Bank Scandal.

ROME, ITALY, Dec. 13.-In the course of
debate in the Chamber of Deputies to-day
on the report of the Parliamentary commit
tee investigating the charges against ex-
Premier Giolitti of having stolen the
documents that were distracted from the
Banca Romano and taken to the Ministry
of the Interior. while Giolitti was at the
head of that department., the e1-Premier
contended that the charges were not de-
vised in the public interest, but had been
formulated and brought forward solely for
the political ends. He defied his accusers
to produce proof that he had been actuated
in the matter of the Banca Romano or the
prosecution of Signor Tanlongo, the Cover
nor of that institution, by personal inter-
ests.
Signor Gallenda, Minister of Justice, in
replying, alluded to the magistracy in
terms which cast doubt upon their integ-
rity and judicial fairness.
In an instant there was tremendous
uproar in the Chamber, amid which could
be heard cries of protest from all sides.
The din drowned the Minister'S voice and
he was compelled to stop. The excitement
increased beyond the power OF the Presi-
dent to control, whereupon,a all of the other
Ministers walked out of the Chamber,
leaving Signor Gallenda the sole repre-
sentative of the Government in the house.
The uproar was so violentand protracted
that the proceedings of the Chamber were
temporarily suspended.
When the sitting was resumed Signor
Cavalotti. the Radical leader, declared that
the Chamber ought to deal with Prime
Minister Crispi in the same measures it
might adopt against Signor Giolitti. The
supporters of Signor Giolitti maintained
the necessity of a direct inquiry into the
matter by the Chamber, or failing there,
that the ex-Prime Minister be sent to the
High Court of Justice.
The Government supporters agreed that
it would be dangerous in the present situa-
ton to awaken political bitterness by pro-
longing the inquiry in the High Court. A
majority of the Chamber finally voted
that there was no cause for sending Signor
Giolitti before the High Court. This de-
cision is tantamount to squashing the
whole affair.

NEW YORK, n. Y, Dec. 13.-A special
dispatch to the Recorder says:
There are good prospects of duel be-
tween Congressman Charles J. Boatner of
the Fifth District and Major II. J. Hearsey,
editor of the Daily States, an afternoon
paper in this city. Mr.. Boatner is opposed

The States supports it. Mr.. Boatner
owns and runs a newspaper in Monroe

The States took up the cudgels in behalf
of the Governor, and accused the Con-
gresham of Topping so many times for
and against Foster that it was hard to tell
bow he stood anyway.
The Evening News retorted by saying
that the States had secured its contract for
the city printing by fraud, and it was in
the hope of retaining this that it was sup
porting Foster.
The States called the Congressman a
liar and several other names, and the lat
ter reioined in kind, and also wrote letter
to the editor saying. that in the course of
time he would take occasion to demand a
proper retraction.
This afternoon the States came out with
a leading editorial headed &C. J. Boatner

The article created sensation and there
