Mysterious Murder.

HALIFAX, N. S., July 21.-The
American barkentine Herbert Fuller,
which sailed from Boston few days
ago for Rosario, arrived in Halifax har-
Der this morning with the bodies OF
three murdered people on board. The
balance of those who left Boston on the
vessel were Immediately clapped into
prison cells. The three dead persons
whose murder is evidently the result OF
bloody outbreak on the part OF some
members of the crew, are Captain Nash,
his wife and Second Mate Brumberg.
The horrible triple murder occurred on
the night of the 18th inst, and the af-
fair so far is wrapped in complete mys-
terry, Notwithstanding that there were
seven other men on board at the time
it occurred, beside passenger named
Monck. The motive of the murder Is
a complete mystery, for it is not known
that the captain had anything of special
value on board and the cargo is entirely
of lumber.

The RATE WAR.-The rate war
between the Seaboard Air Line and the
Southern Railway is spreading and in
tensifying. Passenger fares have been
slashed SO per cent on the average, and
in some cases more. The cut in treights
is keeping pace. Tickets from New
York to Atlanta are now selling at S15
while week ago they were S25. But
the war seems only to have begun. In
dication points to one of the fercest
struggles in the history of southern
railways. Both are well equipped
financially, the Seaboard line having a
surplus of 100000 in bank after pay
ing the last semi-annual interest and
dividends. The Southern is closely al.
6liated with the banking house of J. P.
Morgan & Co., New York, and could
probably command all of the power at
that firms disposal. Morgan & Co.,
also are behind the Baltimore and Ohio
and their allied branches.
All of the southern railways except
the Seaboard are in compact called
the Southern States Freight Associa-
ton. The Southern has received the
permission of this association to meet
every cut made by the Seaboard, and,
if need be, to 60 under the cuts.
1t is not likely that definite plan of
warfare will be outlined by the Southern
until the meeting tomorrow of the
Southern States Freight Association in
Atlanta,

Terrible Tragedy.

ATTIcA, Mich, July 21.-Gorman
Swain, farmer living enc mile south
of this place, early this morning killed
three Of his children with butcher
knife: set fire to his house and then
committed suicide by shooting himself
through the heart. Swain, who was in
comfortable circumstances, had vio-
lent temper and for years had threat
ened to kill his family and himself.
His wife died last spring, since which
time SWANS outbursts of temper have
been more frequent. Last Sunday he
had trouble with three Of the older
children and whipped then severely.
They took refuge at a neighbours house
and this probably saved their lives.
Neighbors were aroused by the burn
ing Of SWANS house shortly after three
o'clock this morning and when they
reached the place horrible sight con-
fronted them. Lying on the road with
their threats cut from ear to ear, lay
Frank Swain, aged eleven years; Lucy,
aged nine years and Jimmie aged seven
years. The father lay near them with
bullet-hole over his heart. By his
side were the weapons with which he
had ended their lives and his own. 1t
is supposed that Swain was temporarily
insane.
