Exploding Bomb.
Paris, Aug. 4.-News has been re-
cedved here of dastardly attempt to
murder M. Vuillemin. the managing
director of the coal mines at Aniche, in
the department Of Nord. A monster
banquet had been prepared for the cell
ebration today of the completion Of the
fiftieth year of NJ. Vuillemin's connec-
ton with the mines. After mass had
been celebrated this morning, M. Vuil-
lemin, surrounded by a party of en-
gineers and shareholders in the mines,
was standing under the church porch
when an anarchist miner named Ca
mile Decaux, who had been dismissed
from the service of the company, ap-
preached and fired five shots from a
revolver at him. Three of the bullets
took effect, one striking M. Vuillemin
in the cheek, another in the hand and
another in the back, inflicting serious
but not dangerous wounds.
After emptying his revolver, Decoux
he had concealed about his person,
when. by some means. the Internal ma
chine exploded prematurely, disem-
boweling the wouldAbe murderer and
hurling his writhing body a distance
Of seven feet from where ne had been
standing. Ten Of the by-standers were
slightly injured by the explosion. De-
poux was carried to the mayoraMy
Aouse. but died immediately after his
arrival there.

YACHTS AT COTTAGE CITY.


Tho American Fleet Is Anchored in the
Bay for Day of Rest Brilliant Deck
Scenes.
Cottage City, Mass, Apg. 4-The ex-
citing races and cruise runs which the
fleet have gone through daily since the
rendezvous off Glen Cove last Monday
has fatigued yacht owners and their
guests, shippers and their crews so that
the day of rest was more than welcome
to all on board. Cottagers and hotel
people thronged the shores of the bay
and gazed in rapture upon the beautiful
sight the fleet presented. The boats
almost completely filled the Cove with
their glistening decks. Groups Of
yachtsmen In white duck and ladies
in fetching rigs beneath the awnings on
deck. or going from yacht to yacht, or
yacht to shore, added to the life and
gayety OF the scene. The only formali-
ty today, beside the usual gun and the
striking colors at sundown, was the
dress ship at IL o'clock. In the evening
the yachts We're lighted UP as usual
and the water looked as though there
mad been a descent Of monster firef1ies
who kept up a steady glow instead Of
an Intermittent light. The interest Of
the shore folks was mainly centered
In the Defender.
Tomorrow morning an early start will
be made for Newport, and in all proba-
oility will be a beat to windward
On Tuesday the races for the Drexel
cups will take place off Brenton's Reef

Philadelphia, Aug. "A drowning

TOOK place In the Delaware river last
night. Barney Hayes, aged 90 years,
Mrs. Jennie Jones, aged 35. and her sis
ter, Harriet Mccain. and Patrick Nc
Garry. aged II, started out in a boat
last evening to take a row on the river.
There was bottle of whiskey In the
party and Hayes imbibed freely of II.
The boat was rowed across to the Jer-
sey shore, and here the party landed.
The Jones woman wanted to return
and Hayes resented this implied refiec-
tion on the entertaining powers of the
party by beating and kicking the wo-
man severely. Peace was patched up,
and the four returned to the boat and
resumed the row. Mrs. Jones again
said she wanted ito return home and
Hayes threatened to throw her over

Whether Hayes carried out his threat
will be task for the coroner to find
out. At any rate the woman went

Williams Wanted to Know the Sensations

fied-Narrow Escape from Death.
Chicago. Aug. 4.-Walter Barnes and
Frank Williams were theorlzing on the
Holmes case last night while sitting In
the rear of o. A. Hesla & Co.'S 5ewelry
store, $40 West Madison street. 1t final
ly assumed the form Of an argument
over the merits Of the different methods
supposed to have been employed by the
terrible Holmes in doing away with his
numerous victims. Barnes said ne hau
heard that the feeling, while being
smothered to death. was not as bad as
drowning and his curiosity led him to
suggest to Williams that he Barnes)
would enter the jewelers. vault and
have the door shut-just little while,
you know--and that he would tell how
1t seems to a man who Is about to be
smothered.
williams was nothing 10th to try the
experiment suggested by Barnes and
SO the latter climbed into the big steel
box, and curled up in the shallow va
cancy between the row Of drawers and
the door. The heavy door swung shut
and Williams pulled the lever that
forces 1t into its jamb. He did not
pull the lever clear over. but he pulled
It so far that when he heard Barnes
family calling for him to open the door
q few minutes later. 1t could not be
moved.
Williams jerked and tugged at the
door, He heard Barnes begging for his
release In barely audible tones. and
strained every muscle to move the door
o. A. Hesla heard the call from a back
room in the store and in a moment he
was pulling with Williams upon the
door handle. The jeweler saw that no
two men could move the door. and
rushed wildly out on the sidewalk. He
returned with half a dozen strong men
and began an assault upon the vault
door. The door would not bulge. A
crow bar was found somewhere, and
vain attempt was made to pry the door
open.
Are you there yet, Walter" Will
iams asked. too badly frightened to
know what he was saying.
Barnes could make no reply. He had
been locked in twenty-five minutes and
was sadly in need of a breath Of fresh
air, when Mr.. Hesla grabbed a wrench
and began to unfasten the nuts that
held the lever on the door. 1t was the
work Of but a few moments and then
with a mighty pull the door came open.
Barnes was lifted out of the vault un-
conscious and black in the face. but he
recovered before a doctor arrived.
When asked how IT fe1t to he smOth-
cred he made some incoherent reply.
Then he said he would go and take a
walk in the fresh air.
IT all turned out without the SER
vices of an undertaken being required,
but this Is due, Mr.. Hesla explained, to
the fact that Williams failed to push
the lever of the vault door over as far
as 1t would go.

WHITE HOUSE REPAIRS.
Several Changes viii DC Made in tho
Building,

Washington, Aug. 4.-The annual rem
ovation Of the White house, in the alb
sence OF the presidents family, means
more this year than usual. Besides
the ordinary cleaning and painting. a
number of changes will be made. The
most important of these Is the new
doorway at the rear Of the red room
This has been done In order to facili-
tate the egress of the guests at recep-
tions and obviate the necessity of hav-
ing to make their way through the
dense throng that usually on such oc-
casions make the inner corridor almost
impassable.
In the east room the furniture will
be entirely recovered in gold colored
satin damask, similar to that now in
use. The curtains will be renewed, and
there will also be new carpet. so that
the effect will be that Of general new
ness throughout this, the most impOs-
ing apartment In the White house.
where strangers oftenest congregate to
greet the chief executive.

Princeton, ILL.,, Aug. 4.-The Italians Of
Spring Valley broke out today in a
war upon the negroes, with a view Of
either massacreing them or driving
them from without the city limits. The
following negroes were seriously in
jured:
Granville Lewis, aged IS years, may

An Italian waylsid.
The Italians for many months nave
wished to drive the negroes out Of the
coal mining belt. and today a plausible
excuse for so doing presented itself.
At / o'clock this morning an Italian
was waylaid on the public highway by
four negroes and robbed and shot four
times, from the effects of which he can
not live until morning. A mass meet
Ing of the Italians was called and at 10
o'clock a mob of over 300 that gathered.
started out for the negro village, which
Is located two miles west of Spring
Valley. They Were headed by the
Spring Valley Italian band, and to de.
ceive the negroes into thinking the as
sembly a peaceable one, this band
rendered several national airs. The
negroes, as result. remained in their
homes. The Italians fell on to them
like a lot of Indians. The men were
dragged out, clubbed, trampled upon,
and made the targets for the shotguns,
rifles and small arms the mob had
brought with them. The women were
insulted, slapped and two of them while
begging for mercy were shot down and
fatally injured.
Sheriff Clark, Of Princeton, was tele-
graphed for and arrived on the ground
with a posse, but came too late, as the
work had long been done before he ar

Pennington. N. j.. Aug. 4.-The words
OF fervent benediction had scarcely
left the lips of Rev. Mr.. Bowman. in
the Methodist church at Quakertown.
seven miles above here. today. when
there came a binding flash of lightning
and a terrifying burst of thunder that
all but wrecked the little building. The
bolt entered the church and injured
score of people. several of them prob
ably fatally. The list of those most Sc
riously injured follows: James Hoff.
Minnie Frace. Miss X. Hoffman. Asa
Bannon, the sexton, Mrs. Bowman, wife
Of the pastor.
The bolt seemed to enter the edifice
by the basement. shooting up through
the floor and bursting with the force
of huge cannon. Members of the con-
gregation who had started to leave. or
were standing In groups conversing
with each other, We're thrown into a
wild panic, while at least twenty OF
them received injuries more or less
severe.
Amid the tumult Of screaming women
any crying children, and groans OF the
injured, there was stampede Of fright
ened horses under the sheds outside. A
number OF them broke their tethers and
ran away, wrecking the carriages to
which they were attached and dashed
down sections Of fencing.
Pastor Bowman and scores Of willing
hands were soon at work among the
stricken ones. A number Of them were
unconscious, and it was thought at
first they had been killed outright.
They were laid upon the pew cushions
The parsonage. which adjoins the
church, was converted into a hospital.
The Scxton's Sad Plight.
All the clothing was torn from Sexton
Bannon, while his shoes looked as
though they had been run through a
corn shelter. He is suffering from THE
shock and can hardly recover.
The bolt struck through the floor,
right at the feet Of Minnie Frace and
she was thrown down with great vio-
lence. Her life is dispaired of.
Mrs. Bowman. who stood near Miss
Frace, was also thrown down by the
from her head and steel ripped clean
out Of her corset. She Is still uncon-
scious from the shock.
James Hoff got the full force Of the
shock, and he lies in a semi-conscious
condition.
Examination Of the building after
the excitement had subsided somewhat
showed that the bolt had struck an
outer wall, ran down to the basement
sixty feet to the josts. and shot up
through the floor like a huge bullet.
The large bell in the tower was loos-
ened from Its hangings, and only a
slender strip Of scantling kept 1t from
crashing down upon the heads of scores
OF people at the doorway.
