MURDER DONE By STRIKERS.
Milwaukee Street Car Fired Upon and the
Motorman Fatally Shot.

MILWAUKEE, June "a trolley car on
the Cudahy line of the milwaukee, Electric
Railway company was ambushed last
night at n point two miles south of the
city and fully twenty shots were fired into
il. Two men were shot, one fatally. They
are: John f. Breen, motorman of Man
istee Mich, will die; Adolph Schwartz,
conductor, of Milwaukee, shot through
the leg. AT point midway between the
suburbs and the city "a log had been placed
across the track. The conductor advanced
to remove the obstruction when several
shots were fired at him.
He fell, but was assisted TO the car by
the motorman. AS the car was started
forward dozen more shots were fired and
the motoman fell fatally wounded. The
murderers are supposed TO be strikers.
Last night cars were stoned on the south
side and several times shots were ex-
changed between officers and rioters.
South of the city, in the suburb known as
Silver City, attacks were made on several
cars. Several arrests were made in that
locality.

silver Rules I'm Kansas.

LEXINGTON. June 1.-The feature of the
Democratic state convention, which opened
here yesterday, was its almost utter unan-
unity for free silver unanimity that
was apparent in the applause and lack of
applause of the free silver and gold stand
ard speakers. When IA free silver man
was up the air was split with the cheers
When gold standard man was speaking
there was dead silence, except when he
said kind word for Cleveland or Car
Isle, when the Kisses and yells were nerve
destroying. When Bennett Young was
nominating Judge Humphrey, gold
standard man, for temporary chairman,
the free silver dissent was SO vociferous
that one of the white metal leaders had to
appeal for fair play.
The platform committee finished Its
work last night. The resolutions will be
free silver, free trade, anita. p. A, anti
national bank, anti-party disloyalty, anti
Bradley. They will also instruct the dele
gates to Chicago TO vote for Blackburn for
president of the United States. The mi
nority will report "honest money" resolu-
tions-but they don't count.

East st. Louis is now thoroughly on its
feet, and there need be no fear but that
eventually everything will come out all
right. A single day has made vast
change in the appearance Of the streets in
the devastated districts. The supply of re
lief material is keeping pace with the de-
mand. The drain has been terrific. Dozens
of persons are kept constantly busy hand
ing out groceries, shoes and dress goods,
but so numerous have been the responses
in money and other gifts that for the time
being there is no danger of want.
President Nc Math, of the house of dele
gates, believes the only feasible and prac-
teal way TO secure funds with which to
rebuild the city institutions is to submit to
vote of the people II proposition to in
crease the taxes for period of five years.
McMath estimates that TO fix up and i'm
prove wrecked city buildings 81, 10000 will
be required.
For new bridges and railway tracks the
estimate is 81 $1,000 The work of al
ieviating the distress of the victims of the
storm is continued with undated energy
and nearly zoo families containing from
four to ten people EACH were supplied with
the necessaries of life. The majority of
the people were well cared for, but before
the day had passed the supply of articles
was exhausted and the members of the
committee were unable 10 secure new
stock, although they had money.
The Merchants Exchange relief commit
tee, the Business Mems league the Com
mercial club and many other organiza-
tons representative of the business inter
ests of st. Louis concur in the announce
ments heretofore made that ST. Louis does
not need TO appeal for outside aid and can
take care of everybody in 1t. Louis who
has suffered from the tornado of last week
1t might be well TO add, however, that
while wishing this to be understood, the
St Louis relief committee will receive
and disbursc any contributions which
people outside may send.

house, about one and "a half miles north
west of this village, for a fishing trip TO
Cornish mountain. The team, hitherto
kind though likely pair of horses, was in
charge of John Stokes, who had been Mr..
Corbin's coachman, both here and in New
York, for years. The horses were hitched
up yesterday for the first time perhaps,
without binders. Ii is thought Mr. Cor
bin opened n sunshade just as they drove
away.
The horses at once started TO run and be-
came unmanageable. They ran down the
descending western driveway at IA terrific
speed, and at the turn into the main road
all were thrown violently, while the horses
kept the road. DIR. Hunger was thrown
completely over the wall and landed on
plowed ground. He received "a severe
bruise and fracture. Young Edgell suf-
fered fracture Of the leg and wrist
Stokes evidently hit n tree, and as one of
the first to arrive on the scene expressed 1t
his body was completely wound around
the tree He died ABOUT o'clock. Corbin
struck stone wall with frightful force
and was terribly cut and bruised about
his head, and one of his legs was broken
and crushed so that the bones protruded
through the flesh.
He was able TO speak when Mr.. Wood
bury, his farmer, who was nearby, reached
him, but he soon lost consciousness and
remained in that condition most of the
time until 9:42 p. m, when ne breathed
his last. There were present at his bed
side Mrs. Corbin, his daughters-MissA An
ME and Mrs. Edgell, of New York-all of
whom witnessed the sad accident from the
house. They came TO town on Sunday last,
and would doubtless have passed the
greater part of the summer here.
Austin Corbin, who was often called the
king of Long Island was born in Newport,
N H., July II, 1927. He was graduated
at Harvard law school in iS49. After prac-
ticing law at Newport for awhile, in 1851
he removed to Davenport, Ia, where he
lived fourteen years. 1t was while there
that he entered the banking business with
"a success that was followed by Others of
greater magnitude. He was rich man
when he came to New York in 1865 and
started the banking house of Austin Cor
bin & Co., which continued the mortgage
business which Corbin had started. Soon
after 1865 he became interested in rail
roads

Uude- Favorable Conditions

Sir Walter Wins the Brooklyn Handicap
Uudes Favorable Conditions
NEW YORK, June b-Three times has
the gallant and game Sir Walter tried to
win the Brooklyn Handicap, and at last he
has been successful. Twice before he was
third, beaten out by fraction at the end,
but yesterday Taral was on his back and
his skill, combined with lack OF judg-
ment on the part of Clayton, who rode the
favorite, helped TO give the victory TO the
son of Midlothian and La Scilla amid n
roar Of applause rarely heard nowadays
upon race track.
There were eight starters and IL was a
perfect day for a good race. The start was
only made on the seventh trial and they
got away with Sir Walter showing in
front at the turn into the stretch, st.
Maxim next and Lake Shore, keenan,,
Hornpipe and Clifford following as named.
At the quarter Lake Shore was in front,
Sir Walter next. Lake Shore had enough
by the time the five-furlong post was
reached, and Sir Walter was again the
leader.
Here the race between st. Maxim and
Sir Walter began, with Clifford third. AT
the mile Taral saw that Sir Walter was
ready To stop and began using the whip,
with st. Maxim length and a half be-
hind, and il was well for him that he did
so, for st. Maxim was coming right along
and at the finish he was only "a short head
behind Sir Walter. The purse was worth
$1,000. Time, 2:06%.

Explosion Kills Seven and Wounds Fifty in
Religious Procession.
BARCELONA, Spain, June S.-A bomb was
thrown into the crowd during the Corpus
Christi procession yesterday and its ex-
plosion resulted in the killing of seven
persons and the injury of fifty The per-
petrator of the deed is as yet unknown,
and his motive is equally a mystery. The
news of the throwing Of the bomb into the
procession spread like wildfre over the
city and caused panic amongst the
great crowds drawn TO the streets by the
Sunday merrymaking usual TO the city.
The explosion occurred just as the Corpus
Christi procession was entering the beauti-
full and ancient church Of Santa Maria del
Mar
This is in one of the most thickly popu.
lated quarters of the populous city. The
sound of the explosion and the cries Of the
injured and friends of the killed created
an indescribable panic among the great
crowd in the procession and lookers-on.
The people were terror-stricken with dread
of other bombs being thrown, and ii was
with difficulty that they were restrained
from crushing each other in the stampede
A terrible scene ensued after the explo-
sion of the bomb. Seven corpses and
forty persons severely injured were found
to be lying around. The great excite
ment continues undated throughout the
city. The police have picked up thirty
fragments of bombs in the streets.

The Orepnn Election.

PORTLAND, Ore, June 5.-Returns and
corrections received here show that Ellis
(Rep.) has a plurality of 90 over Quinn
Pop for congress in the Second district.
Complete returns are still missing from
three counties. In the First districta mis-
take was discovered in the count in Yam
Hill county which reduced Vanderburg' $
(Pop vote in that county by 200.
This, together with partial returns from
Curry county, gives Vanderberg plural
ity of 100 over Tongue (Rep). In both
districts ID will undoubtedly require the
official count TO determine the result. The
count in this city is complete. Pennoyer
for mayor has plurality Of 2,Ssi In total

WlNDRATH HANGED AT CHICAGO.
Man Who Murdered Cashier Birch Dies by
the Hempen Collar.

CHICAGO, June Cone minute after IL
o'clock yesterday Joseph Windrath was
hanged in the north corridor of the coun-
ty Jail, thus paying the laws penalty for
the murder of Carey B. Birch cashier Of
the West Chicago Street Railway com
pany at the Armitage avenue office. Moth
ing had been left undone to save his life
and the most plausible plea put forward
was that he was insane. A jury decided
him sane after hearing the usual contra
dictory expert evidence. The prisoner did
a pretty good insane act at any rate, from
the time he was convicted until the rope
choked his utterance.
His plan was wild shout of Hang up
Mannow (his accomplice in the murder);
Put him In the bad box" II don't want
that hat"-these were his cries when he
was saying anything and he was shouting
them as he went through the trap. Just
before the execution he made several os-
tensible attempts to butt his brains out,
but he didn't hurt himself. He was al
ways a thief and bad man, according TO
his biographies in the papers here.

NEWPORT, KY, June 6.-But for long
cross-examinations of witnesses the prose
cution in the trial of Alonzo NJ. Walling
for the murder of Pearl Bryan would have
rested last evening. 1t certainly will close
its case by noon today. Five witnesses
distributed at as many points along four
miles of the route the cabman, George II.
jackson, testified that he drove the muir
derers and their victim between l and
2 a. m, Feb. l, have given evidence that
they saw a carriage driven along that road
on that night.
The road is lonely and the sight of a
carriage going over it latter midnight is
most unusual. Judge Helm decided To adj
nit the damaging testimony of Edward
II. Anthony against Walling and objected
to by Wallings attorney.

ty miles and il took the whole night to
accomplish the march.
Slipped Up on the Khalifa's Forces.
The greatest secrecy had been main
tanned as TO all the arrangements. The
night-long march was pursued in absolute
silence. In consequence the arrival of the
Egyptians at the dervishes camp took the
enemy completely by surprise. They
quickly rallied, however, and rushed to
their arms. Far from being routed in the
first attack they stood TO their positions
and made stubborn defense of the camp
for an hour and half during which there
was hard fighting.
Dervishes Lose Thousand Men.
The dervishes were finally put TO rout
by flank movement executed by the
cavalry. Seeing themselves in danger Of
being surrounded the forces of the khalifa
took flight TO the southwark, towards
Suarda, pursued by the cavalry. Suarda
is nearly 100 miles south of here, but it Is
strongly held by force of several thou
sand dervshes. Reports received indicate
that the loss TO the dervishes will amount
to 900 men, Among those killed is the
Emir Hammuda, who was their COM
mander, besides many important chiefs.
Hammuda was in command of the larger
force at Suarda.
