Among matters Investigated by the

that action be taken by the proper au-
thorities 10 require the Railroad Com
pany operating It's cars along Eleventh

to give warning to all persons in the

As we are Informed. this course is
now pursued by the railroad upon that
portion of the track in Tenth and
Eleventh avenues below Thrticth street.
Ia our opinion. the same precaution

far north as Seventy-second street.
The necessity for such provision is
palling number of lives that have been

FOREST FIRES AT PERHAM.
Considerable Land Burned Over and Several
Buildings Destroyed.

North Perham, June 9.-(Spccial).-
Perham has been fortunate in escaping
any widely devastating forest fires, but its
turn came, the first Of June, when some
300 acres of spruce land in the north part
of the town were burned over, belonging
mostly to Dunn & Powers
At one time it seemed inevitable but
that "Swedeville' would be entirely
wiped out, as strong wind was bearing
the fire directly toward them; wall of
flame leaping some 25 or 80 feet above the
tree tops; but fortunately, as the sun
was getting low, the wind died down,
when the fire was within about one third
of mile, and the mill crew from G. II.
Howe's mill came over, and by their as
sistance the place was saved The barn
of John Akerson caught fire, and also
chat of Andrew Kihlman.
The same afternoon, in the southwest
part of the town, the public lots were
burned over, and the old barn of G. Hus-
ton was burned. A little rain, Wednos-
day night and Thursday morning, was
very welcome, but more Is greatly needed.
cool wave followed the rain. Much
grain Is up and looking well.

NEAR LYNCHING.
Two Princeton Students Dan
gerousIy if Not Fatally Shot
Bya Negro, Enraged in a Wordy A.
tercation With the Boys.
Students Threaten Lynching and Marshal
Hides Prisoner in Woods.

Trenton. N. j., June 9.-Frederick
Pearson Obi and Garrett Cochrane. each
aged 10, students in the freshman class at
Princeton college, were shot and danger
ously, If not MORALLY wounded, at 10
O'Clock, last night, by negro named
John Collins
The shooting took place in an alley In
front of the side entrance of the Anderson
Street theatre, Princeton. Collins is a
laborer. 26 years old. He had words with
the students and in a fit of rage drew a
22-calibre revolver and fired first at OIL
and then at Cochrane and again at OIL
All tho shots took effect. The bullet
fired at Cochrane struck him In the mouth
and travelled to the base of the right ear.
Both of Ohl's wounds were in the
stomach. The students were moved to
the college hospital and Collins placed
under arrest.
Students gathered on Nassau street by
the hundreds. The report gaining circula-
tion that Oil and Cochrane were dying the
students grow very excited and demands
that the negro be lynched went up on every
side. Hang him." was the exclamation
frequently repeated. At the lookup it was
heard that some students had procured q
rope and were marching in body.
Marshal Tyrell. fearing for the
prisoners safety, handcuffed him and re-
moved him to piece of woods about a
quarter of a mile from the college and
kept him there until after midnight, when
officers took Collins to the county jail at
Trenton. Stephen Downes, also colored,
was taken to Jail at the same time He
was in the company Of Collins immed-
lately before the shooting.
Oil and Cochrane with some other stu
dents, were walking down Witherspoon
street. a little before TO- and Collins and
Downes approached them from the OPP
posite direction. Collins, 1t is said, used
insulting language, directing it toward
the students, and the latter returned
sharply, with considerable profanity.
A few minutes later, Cochrane and Obi
met Collins in the alley alluded to-
Downes was few feet away Collins
stood in the door of the hotel bar and re-
viled the students and dared them to en-
ter. They undertook to do so, when the
negro whipped out the weapon and began
firing.
This is the story given by persons who
were on the scene soon after the shooting
Downes bears a reputation of being a
peaceable man. He claims that the stu
fence rails.
Tonight the wounded students are in
critical condition. Oil belongs at New
Castle Pa, and Cochrane Is from Will
Transport, Pa.

FIRE AT BANGOR
In Church Packed to the Doors With
Women and Children.
All safely Leave Building Though Flames Fol.
low With Great Rapidly.

Bangor, June 9.-This evening. while
the Sunday school of the Columbia Street
Baptist church was celebrating the semi
centennial OF the church by appropriate
exercises, smoke was discovered coming
up through the floor about the pulpit
Rev. G. B. 1sley, the pastor, was in the
act OF delivering an address when he saw
smoke coming up almost under his feet
Mr.. Gray. superintendent of the Sunday
school saw the smoke and said, "Will the
audience please go out quietly" and the
pastor added words calculated to allay
the excitement.
The audience Went out as quickly as pos
slble. The church was packed to the
doors. there being may women and chill
dren present, but no one was injured as
far as is known in getting out
BY the time the people were beginning
to get out, cloud of smoke was coming
up into the church from the vestries be-
low. and whom the fremen arrived, flames
were bursting forth from one side of the
church and dense smoke was pouring
from the roof. 1t was not long, however,
before the fireinen had the flames under
control.
The church is badly damaged by water
and smoke. No estimate of the loss can
be given. There was an insurance IF $3.50
on the building and $4,000 on the fur
niture etc.
The cause Of the fire is a mystery.
Nothing Is known to have been in the
kitchen where the blaze was to cause it, and
the impression prevails that it was the
work of an incendiary, although that
seems almost incredible
The kitchen was burned out and about
the pulpit platform much damage was
done. The church had been refrescoed
and otherwise improved, few years ago.
