ON MURDER INTENT.
Persistent Attempts to Do Away with
 the Family of a Mrs. smith,

EUGENE, Ore, April 15.-A case of determined and persistent attempt to kill the family of Mrs. Hiram Smith, a widow, whose farm is near Coburg, developed yesterday when Oral Poin- dexter, boy of 12 years, was brought here prisoner from his home near that place on the charge of attempted murder.
 The oindexter farm adjoins that of Mrs. smith, and several times poison has been found scattered about dishes and vegetables.
 Last Saturday one of Mrs. Smiths daughters, during her mothers absence, detected the boy in the act of pouring something from a vial into the pump. The next day this girl was struck on the head with club in the hands of the boy while ske was at work on the farm. A feud between the families is believed to be the motive for the crime.

ARRESTED FOR FlLl8USTERlNG
The Owners and Members of the Crew of
 the Bermuda in Custody.

The Owners and Members of the Crew of
 the Bermuda in Custody.
 PHILADELPHIA, April 15.-John D. Hart, the steamship owner of this city, !, was arrested yesterday afternoon on the charge of violating the neutrality laws between this country and Spain in connection with the last voyage of the steamship Bermuda, and was given a preliminary hearing before United States Commissioner Bell, and bound over in $500 bail for further hearing to-day.
 This is the second time Mr. Hart has been arrested on the charge of tili- bustering, and it was only day or so ago that he was acquitted in New York on the first charge. Warrants of arrest are also in the hands of the United States marshal for Capt. O'Brien, master of the Bermuda; Mates Murphy and Simonson, and Col. Emilio Nunez, one of the local Cuban leaders, and who was passen- ger aboard the Bermuda on the last voyage,
 Arrangements have been entered into between counsel for the alleged tiiibusters and the government officers by which the cases will be transferred from this United States district to the United States court in New York Capt. OBrien and his mates will come here from New York this morning and will surrender themselves to the United States marshal. They will be given a hearing to-day at the same time as Mir. Hart, and all the men will undoub btedly be bound over for trial in New York
 The information upon which the warrants were sworn out was made by Jose Congosto, the Spanish consul at this port. Dr. Congosto is said to have received the evidence upon which he made the information from six or eight of the seaman of the Bermuda, who are said to be dissatisfied with the treatment they received on the voyage, and are probably taking this method to avenge themselves.
 Captain Clipperton, the British con- sul here, still refuses to give the Ber- muda her clearance papers and the ves- sel will probably not be able to sail to- day as it was expected she would do.

Report of the Board of Officers Appointed d
 to Conduct the Final Trial of the Ship.
 WASHINGTON, April 15.-The report of the board of naval officers, ap- pointed to conduct the final or eff ciency trial of the battleship Indiana, has been received at the navy depart ment. It shows that the vessel is worthy of all the praise that has been bestowed on her. Her hull, engines, machinery and fittings were found to be faultless. The trial took place on the voyage between Port Royal, S C., and Norfolk, Va, which the Indiana made in 40 hours, although run under natural draught and with four boilers only
 She maintained an average speed of 13H knots. an excellent showing for a ship designed to run l5knots under the best conditions. The horsepower de- veloped was nearly 5000. There was very little roll, the maximum being 20 degrees in a heavy cross-sea.
 This trial completes the official test of the Indiana, and the percentage of the contract price retained to insure any changes will now be paid.

THE IMMIGRANT RUSH.


 rorce at Ellis Island Almost Worked fne heath with the New Arrivals From
 The .sUndesirable" Glass Form
 rarxe Percentage of Those Coming, ,be sorting Out Reveals a Great Many That Have to Be "Barred"
 Nvw YORK, April l6.-Ellis Island is .-owded by the advance guard of the .avod;ng horde of pauper Italian inn n,igrants. Right on top of the swarm ns nearlv 1, 400 unloaded from the Bo- ,,.-,o there came Monday another n,,ngrv contingent of 1,5O0 landed tom the steamer Alesia, from the Mediterranean ports and Albano from Hamburg and Havre. Of these all but few are Italians. The immigration authorities are fairly appalled,, and realize that no steps must be neglected to check the influx.
 On the island the immigration au- .horities were driven almost frantic in their efforts to control the clamorous horde of aliens, who fairly fought to be nermitted to land, and the not less persistent mob of friends, who sought ,o obtain their release. That term "friends" more frequently is used as a cloak by the padrones and immigra. .;on agents, who are ready to pose as brothers and cousins in order to se- cure the release of immigrants con- sicned to them, who might otherwise be debarred from landing.
 such ''friends" were in the majority Monday, for it was known that among the Boliva's passengers were 26O of the "barred" class, who, unless rescued, were subject to deportation. In addi- tion to these, too, there were 542 pas sepgers under detention until their claims for the right of admission could be passed upon. With the arrival dur ing the morning of the passengers by the Alesia and Albano the num- her of those ''barred' rose to the close of the day to 52O, or about one in every six of those arriving during the two days. This will be further increased when the Werra arrives with ,5OO more immi- grants.
 The big building on Ellis island pre- sented a scene of extraordinary activi- ty Monday, all the pens that cover the main floor being covered with mass of immigrants, awaiting their turn to present themselves before the examin- CTS.
 Over in one corner was herded to- gether several hundred dark-visaged, ragged and dejected looking men, who smoked queer pipes in violation of the mandate in dozen or so languages against smoking. They were the "barred'' passengers, set aside by the board of inquiry as persons unfit to aspire to American citizenship.
 In the long open pens outside the main building still other crowds, who had passed inspection, lounged list lessly and watched the coming and going of the ferry boats, wait ing permission to depart. The of fcials worked like braves sorting the human herd into the various classes of passed, detained" and ''barred" until at the close of the day the greater number had been released. But when night fell there still remained TOO or 800, for whom there was sleeping ac- commodations for barely one-quarter in the dormitories that were formerly the magazines and shell rooms of the old fort The rest passed the night as best they could on the floor of the va- rious pens, pillowed on their bags and bundles

vice RegnI Invirarions.

An invitation from the lord lieuten-
ant in Ireland is supposed to be, like
one from the queen whom he represents,
command. Irish society, however,
does not always treat it as such, but,
according to convenience, either hon
crs it in the breach or the observance.
A society" person may throw over a
previous engagement in favor of a vice
regal invitation without being consid-
cred to have committed a breach of man
ners. He may also refuse the vice regal
invitation if so minded. Irish society
is not servile on this point, but eXer-
cises common sense and the liberty of
choice in the matter of amusing itself.

The most phenomenal rainfall record
ed in the annals of Ohio took place on
the 18th day of August, 1861. Mr.. S. B.
Mcmillan, who gives an account of this
remarkable downpour, says that it ex-
tended over an area of at least leo square
miles. The total amount Of water = hich
fell during the II hours Of precipitation
was 614 inches, and of that quantity 4.3
inches fell in az hours. What is meant
by fall of SHl inches of rain in so short
a space of time will be better under
stood when the reader is informed that
one inch of rain means $4,000 gallons to
the acre. This immense quantity of
