TO put on an extra force of men at the
postoffice in order to get it sorted and
ready to send out. Two of the postal
clerks on the train were badly injured
and when the mail bags arrived here
they were covered with blood.
The wreck was caused by No. s rum

clerks was thrown through the top OF
the mail car and lit on top of freight
car, where he was found later He was
severely injured internally. The other
mail clerk was also seriously injured,
and besides having an eye torn out, he
was pretty badly bruised up. The bag

but will recover. None OF the passen-
gers were hurt.

A BRUTAL CRIME.
The Desperate Attempt Of Negro
Brute to Outrage Lady Success
fully Resisted---The Fiend Captured
After Four Mile Chase.

Frederick, Nd, April 21-Mrs.
Thomas Butts, a highly respected
farmers wife, at Broad Run, fifteen
miles from Frederick, was brutally
assaulted this morning by Frank Win
terchief, a burly, eighteen-year-old ne
gro, who works on the farm of Colum-
bus O'Donnen, near Petersville. Al
though he failed to accomplish his pur-
pose. Mrs. Butts was most
FIENDISHLY DEALT WITH.
She attended mass at St Mary's Cath
olic Church, four miles from her
home, and was seen returning, when
the negro, who had been seen follow
ing her, overlook her on the road, and
armed with club, he seized her,
threw her on the ground and dragged
her toward the bushes. She screamed
for help, and by superhuman efforts
threw off her aSsailant and sprang
to her feet. Three times he threw her
to the ground. In the struggle, he
jammed his fnge up her nostrils,
tearing open her clothes, scratching
and bruising her flesh, and throwing
her skirts over her head.
Frightened before accomplishing his
purpose, he sprang up and fed.
Peter Hemp and David Majaha, who
heard
THE WOMAN'S SCREAMS,
saw the negro running, and started
in hot pursuit. The route lay toward
the mountains After a chase of four
miles, and after firing two shots at
him, the negro halted and surrendered.
In the meantime, Mrs. Butts made her
way to a farm house. On their re-
turn from the mountain with the ne
gro, his captors were met by a
mob, who demanded the surrender of
the man, that they might take him to
the woods and hang him. Hemp and
Majaha refused to give him up at the
point of their drawn revolvers, and
brought Winterchief safely to Fred
erick.

WHO KILLED THEM?
The Mystery Of the Three Murders at
Utah Lake Being Gradually Cleared
Up---NO Arrests as Yet.

Salt Lake, Utah, April 21.-The mys-
terry surrounding the murder of three
young men who lived in the vicinity of
Utah Lake, near Lehigh, Utah, is grad
ually being cleared up.
The theory is that the men were
murdered in the cabin during the night
and thrown into the lake, as the bodies
were nearly undressed when found.
The gun-shot wounds seem to have
been made with a 44-calibre rife. Sus-
picion, it is said, points to H. H. Hayes,
stepfather of one of the murdered men,
and son of his who is missing Other
theories are advanced but have no mo-
tive and no support.
The Coroner's jury examined the
bodies to-day and will continue the in
yestlgation at Lehigh tomorrow.
The excitement runs high, especially
among the ranchmen in the vicinity Of
the murders Some arrests are eX-
pected tomorrow.

San Francisco, Cal, April 21.-The
police are still busy in picking up the
threads and weaving their network
of circumstances and evidence in the
Emanuel Baptist Church cases. DR..
Barrett, the city autopsy physician,
stated to-day that both young women
died of strangUlatiOn, and that the
knife wounds i'm Miss Williams body
were not the cause of death He also
denies that criminal operations were
performed.
Among the gruesome exhibits in the
case is a shoe, and on Its sole are
dark spots that were made when the
wearer stepped into a pool of blood
that came from the body of Miss Will
Jams. The shoe is the property of
Rev. j. George Gibson, pastor of the
church, and it was found in his study
in the edidce last Sunday, just after
the finding of the body Of Miss La
mont. This statement has created a
sensation. and gives those who have
been limiting that Rev. Gibson may
De the guilty man, an opportunity to
emphasize their suspicious.

Memphis, Tenn, April 21.-In an

Republicans Will have three or four

ance OF power. In this condition Of

The utilization and rehabilitation
of silver to its position as money of
ultimate redemption and in connection
with gold as the regulator of volume
or amount of the thing called money is
Overwhelmingly strong in the South
and West, and in my opinion ought to
be strong and conclusive everywhere.
Silver must have its place in the pol

A DEADLY ITALIAN FEUD.
Brooklyn the Scene of a Terrible Af-
fray, Yesterday.
An Injured Husband Goes After His
Wife's Traducer with a Winches-
ter, and Lots Of Trouble Resulted.
Seven Arrests Made.

Brooklyn, April 21.-As the outcome
of a feud, battle was fought in the
eastern district about $50 tonight and
two men are in the Eastern District
Hospital fatally injured and seven 9TH
ers are under arrest. a girl was also
shot during the fight. The men are all
Italians, and the feud has been OF two
months standing. About two months
ago John Orsello, aged SS years, heard
that scandalous stories were being cir
culated about his wife and daughter
by Carmino Sessa. Orsello sent him
a letter notifying him that there
WOULD BE TROUBLE
if he did not desist. Sessa received
the letter on Saturday night and
laughed at it. Orsellos friends told
him of this to-day and taunted him
with being afraid. Orsello secured a
Wincheser rife and started out after
his wife's slanderer. He found him
sitting near a window at his home on
North Second street. From the street

A number of his friends in the house

one of Sessa's friends, Luigi DespriscO,

VICTIM.
mdicat ms That Frank Lentz, Pitts
burg BicycliSt, Was Killed by Turks
in Armenia.

Pittsburg. Pa, April 21.-Relatives
Of Frank Lenz. the Pittsburg cyclist,
who was making a trip around the
world on his wheel for Outing, are now
convinced that he was murdered by the
kurds i'm Armenia at the beginning
of the massacre there. T. p. Lang
hans, cousin of the wheelman, has just
received a letter confirming this be-
lief. The letter is written by an
American medical missionary in Ar
menia, but his name cannot be given
for fear that the letter might find its
way back TO Armenia and his life
would be endangered because he con-
firms the special Armenia letter Of the
Associated Press Of last Friday. The
missionary says the situation is SER
iOus and that the danger of an out
break is imminent. He says the
ArmenianS intend to fight for their
liberty.
Speaking of Lenz. the missionary
says ne has reliable information that
Leuz was killed last May at Koordai,
on the AliShgird Plain. near the ia
nous pass of Deli Baba. The mission
airy talked with a man who saw LenZ
AT karakalesseh, on what the natives
said was 'a twO-wheeled cart" Two
days later the man saw the dead body
of the wheelman at Zedikan. From
the description given there is little
doubt that it was the body of LenZ.
The missionary has sent for three men
who also saw the body and expects to
be able to tell just how Lenz met his
death

FIVE IN A ROW.
Three Men and Two Women Met a
Summary Fate in Alabama---They
Were Guilty of an AtrOciOuS Muir
der.

Louisville, KY, April "A special
to the Courier-Journal from Montgom-
cry, Ala, says:
A gentleman who arrived at nine
o'clock tonight from Greenville, Ala,
forty miles south of here, reports that
five negroes were lynched near there
last night. Just before his train left
Greenville tonight, the Sheriff of the
county came into town and reported
that in passing Buckalew plantation,
three miles from town, he had found
the five negroes, three men and two wo-
men, hanging by their neck to some
trees, their bodies cold, and they evil
IDENTIFY had been dead some hours.
Last night news reached Glenville
of the brutal murder, near Butler in
that county, of Watts Murphy, a popu-
lar young white man, by the negroes.
Murphy was prominent young farm
er, being a nephew of the late Governor
Watts of this city. After numbering
him, the negroes placed his body on a
brush heap and burned the heap. The
debris was examined, and the teeth,
liver and heart of the victim were
found, the balance of the body having
been consumed An investigation was
instituted Three negroes were ar
rested, finally to-day one of the negroes
gave way and confessed the crime, i'm
plicating two other negro men and two
women. The officers secured and
closely guarded the prisoners when
last heard of last night.
The report tonight does not give the
details of how the mob secured the
mwderers, except that they were taken
by force. A telegram from Greenville
confirms the story.
