Turned Wedding Feast Into a Shoot
ing Party.
San Farncisco, Sept. 30.- Yesterday
afternoon Frank Carnivalli and Flo
mena Campologni were married.
Shortly afterward the bridegroom
fired into the wedding party, seriously
wounding one of the guests and scatter
ing the others in all directions.
The wedding party had adjourned
from the church to the house of the
newly married couple to join in the
wedding feast. The health of the
bride was toasted, then that of the
groom. The wine cup passed freely
and the merry jest. Things were 60
ing along famously when George Zitka
did something which displeased Carni-
valli. He also said something intend
ed to be funny, but Carnivalli failed to
see the joke and from the pistol pocket
of his wedding garb produced big re-
volver. Leveling it at Zitka, he pulled
the trigger twice.
The doors were not big enough to
give exit to the affrighted guests as
hastily as they chose to leave. The
bride and her female friends tainted.
A policeman arrived at this juncture
and arrested Carnivalli for assault with
intent to commit murder, while Zitka
was taken to the receiving hospital.
where it was found that he had been
hit by both bullets, one having entered
his right side, the other shattering his
right wrist

A Terrible Crime.

Newport, Ark, Sept. 30.-The dead
body of a girl was found in the river
near Jaoksonport two weeks ago, and
her identity until today was mystery.
Today, it was learned she came from
Foromsa. Van Buren, county, and that
just before election day had nineteen
men arrested for assault. When the
case came mp. her testimony was SO
horrible that officers doubted her state
ment, and discharged the prisoners.
Since the finding of the body, evidence
has been secured which reveals the
truth of her statement, and show that
she was outraged and afterward MUIR
dered by some of the men whose arrest
she had caused.

Butte, Mont, Sept. 30.-Maguire's
opera house, erected at cost of $780,.
600 and opened to the public only
seven years ago, is tonight a mass of
ruins, as result of disagreement
among the stockholders. and the city,
with a population of $4,000, is without
place of amusement. James A. Muir
ray has been decreed by the supreme
court to be the owner of the building.
There were numerous judgments for
mechanics liens, and the Grand Opera
House Company was given the ground
under mortgage. The company re-
fused to buy the house at any price,
and also refused to sell the ground,
and this morning Murray put big
force of men to work to tear down the
handsome building, and tonight little
but the walls remains.

WEEKLY MARKET LETTER.
Eowniug, Hopkins & Co.'s Review of
Trade.

Portland, Or, Sept. 30.-The wheat
situation is gradually hardening. and
there is steady increase in confidence
along the line. Operators who were
not inclined to take the buying side
three weeks ago, when prices for De-
cember were around SEC, have during
the past week become convinced that
the market has intrinsic value, and have
bought at 61c and above. Since the
first Of September prices have advanced
nearly 10 cents. 1t has been mainly
owing to the situation being the strong.
est in years. In fact, the position of
the wheat market as to the demand and
supply has not been as strong in years.
There is everything favorable for
higher prices.
Liverpool led the market last week,
and since the first of the month prices
there have advanced faster than here.
Traders have waited for years for the
foreigners to take the initiative on the
buying side, and, as they have accept
ed about all the cash lots offered, and
also bought futures both in Chicago
and at the seaboard, the bull feeling
naturally increased, and prices here
advanced about $40, and at Liverpool
trifle more. Foreigners have lighter
supplies than for years, and within the
past three weeks have largely replen-
ished them. There is also sharp de-
mand for all the cash offerings at Chi.
cago, millers and elevator men buying.
About all the hard winter has been
sold. and Kansas City parties. who
have sold great deal in the past, are
now Offering none, and hold the wheat
at price that prevents Chicago buy
ers from getting it. At Galveston,
there is about ], 900, 900 bushels, await
ing shipment, but as steamers are
scarce there is delay in the export.
ALI the ocean.ro room at the Atlantic
ports has been engaged up to about the
first of the year, and rates to Liverpool
advanced AID from New York.
We are exporting at the rate OF over
8. 500, 900 bushels wheat and -four per
week which according to the most care
full estimates of supplies will take all
our surplus before the end of the pres
ent cereal year.
From January l to September II
they aggregate 100, 100000 bushels
and exceed last year for the same time
II, 100000 bushels. We are shipping
to EufDpe more than any other coun.
try aud will continue in the lead for
months SO that gold will come this way
from Europe freely. The American
visible supply of wheat shows de-
creasepf $40, 900 bushels from last week,
now totaling 4S. .715, 900 bushels.

A GUERRILLA OUTRAGE.

American Planter Brutal1y Assaulted
by Spanish Soldiers.
Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 30.-Vice-
Consul Hyatt has entered a protest in
the case of Peter Rivera, an American
planter maltreated by Spanish guerril-
las on his coffee estate, at La Esper-
anza, near st. Louis. During his pro-
test to the Spanish officer in command
of the guerrillas against the destruo-
tion of his fence and property by the
latter's forces Rivera was abused and
led out to be summarily shot. The
timely intervention of Spanish scout,
who pleaded with the officer and
vouched for Riveria's neutrality, alone
saved him. Even then the guerrillas
were SO enraged that in defiance of the
officers orders, they brutally beat Ri
veria with their maohetes, and before
leaving his plantation tore down the
American flag waving over his resi-
dence, warning him not to display it
again.
All Americans, the guerrillas said,
were either Mambis or rebel spies, and
if not opnely aiding the revolution
were doing SO secretly, consequently
they ought all to be shot wherever
found by Spanish troops
Rivera was born in New Orleans.
He IS of French extraction, and came
to Cuba some years ago to assume con-
troll of his property, left him by his
grandfather who died in Martinique
He is highly respected by the higher
financial element and is nowise suspect.

The Spanish colonel in command OF

the outrage done him, and expressed
his personal regret at the insubordina.

Tom watson rhreatened.

Nashville, Sept. 30.-An American
special from Atlanta says: "Tom Wat.
son has given out an anonymous let
ter, purporting to come from Cali
fornia. In part the letter reads:
If you had particle of manhood
about you. you would have resigned
long ago, when you saw that you were
not wanted. One hundred Of us have
sworn to put you off the ticket, if you
do not go off of your own accord before
October Is. A word to the wise is
sufficient.
General opinion is that the letter is
a practical joke.

A Horrible Crima.

Joseph Bash, of Cleveland, O., for
some unknown reason, conceived the
CHASTITY idea of killing his whole fam.
lily, and, securing crowbar, repaired
to the room where his wife and two
daughters were sleeping. With one
blow he crushed the skull of his wife
and then turned to the cradle of his
youngest child. The 19-year-old
daughter in another bed awoke and
sprang to arrest the fiend's arm, but
the blow fell across the infants face.
A desperate fight between father and
daughter took place. The girls
screams brought assistance and the
man fed. The woman is at the point
of death, but the infant may live.

LOWEREDBY JOHN R. GENTRY
The Worlds Pacing Record

Strong Wind Blowing in His Face,

The Fastest Mile Ever Made In Har-
Strong Wind Blowing in His Face,
Portland, Me-. Sept. 28.--John r.
Gentry today at Elzhy Park paced the
fastest mile ever made in harness, and
placed the worlds record at 2:001S.
The day was cold, and a light north.
westerly wind was blowing up the
stretch, when Gentry, with Andrews
behind him, came out to go against his
record of 2:01 Il, made on September s.
this year, at Glens Falls, N. Y.
The famous PAGER scored once or
twice with the runner who was to pace
him, and then went up the stretch on
what was to be the fastest mile ever
done by horse in harness. The run.
ner was at the pacer's throat. latch as
they made the first turn on the stretch
Gentry went steadily and with appar
ent ease, the runner having hard work
to keep his position.
The judges caught the quarter mile
at 2914 seconds, and the second quarter
was made in 0:3O1, making the half
mile in O:591s. The runner. by the
use Of the whip, was keeping up at
Gentry's wheel, but was making hard
work of it. The third quarter was
made in 80 3-8 seconds, making three
quaters in 1904.
As they turned into the homestretch
and caught the wind in the teeth. the
crowd began to yell wildly. and both
drivers began to encourage their hosres.
With the shouting Of the crowd, which
was now cheering like mad, the PAGER
spurted for the wire, and, considering
that he had the wind in his face, made
the most remarkable quarter of the
heat in 0:304. the mile in 2:001a, just.
one second less than the record.

FINDS But LITTLE FAVOR
Gladstone's Solution of the
Turkish Problem
BY THE JOURNALS
Better Received ON the Continent Than
in England-The Turkish Ships
Are Near the Bosphorus.

Better Received ON the Continent Than
in England THE Turkish Ships
Are Near the Bosphorus.
London, Sept. 29.-The wearisome
Armenian question has almost absorbed
public attention during the week.
The proposal of Mr.. Gladstone to with.
draw the British ambassador from Con.
stantinople and dismiss the Turkish
ambassador here, is discussed by all
the newspapers, but finds little favor,
and Is looked upon as being simply a
policy of crying ''boo,'' which will
have absolutely no good effect upon the
sultan.
All eyes are now tunred toward Bal.
moral. where the arrival today Of the
Marquis of Salisbury, it is hoped.
marks a turning point in Great Brit
aims position towards the powers.
The British premier will stay several
days at Balmoral, and there is little
doubt that he will utilize his time in
endeavoring to win from the czar
recognition of the disinterested charac-
ter of Great Britain's policy toward
Turkey, and arrange basis for joint
action, which will render further mas.
sacres impossible.
On the Continent Mr.. Gladstone's
speech was received differently in the
various countries. The French press
expressed unusually favorable opinions
of it and even the notorious Anglo
phobe organ gave it generous praise.
The Libre Parole describes it as the
finest Mr.. Gladstone has ever made and
one which stigmatizes most magnifi-
Gently the crime of European diplom-
acy in past years. In fact, the COM
ments of the press generally indicate
that France has at last awakened to the
enormities of Turkish rule, and she
will welcome an understanding be-
tween Russia which will enable them
to take joint and effective action at
Constantinople.
In Austria and Germany, however,
the newspapers scoff at Mr.. Gladsotue's
proposal regarding the ambassadors,
which is characterized as fanatical and
frivolous.
The remarkable violence of the Eng
lish agitation which has been conduct
ed against the sultan is shown by the
character Of the epithets which have
been hurled at him by the usually mod
erate-speaking English people. Mr..
Gladstone's epithet of 1.-THE great as
sassin" seems to have set the fashion,
the Duke of Westminster following
with "iend incarnate, Earl Spencer
preferring Representative of a diaboli
cal and atrocious government"
The term applied by William Wat
son, the poet, abdul the Damned"
in his series of sonnets on the Armeni-
an question. perhaps finds the most
frequent repetition Of any of Them
"he press is not behind in its sensa-
tional dealings with the subject by the
most lurid headlines in the newspapers
and posters to advertise them. The
Chronicle is printing series of "mur-
der maps on the subject.

Burke, Idaho, Sept. 30.-Burke was

destruction of the town. Besides de.
stroying over $4,000 worth of prop

man and the narrow escape of seven
others, all of whom were more or les
burned.
When the cook at the Tiger hotel
left the kitchen for a moment, pan Of
grease on the range ignited, scattering
flames all over the kitchen. Almost
like flash the fire spread throughout
the lower floor. Before the sleeping
inmates of the hotel could be alarmed
the flames had communicated with the
upper floors, cutting off escape from
the stairway, except to few who were
easily aroused.

few had time to clothe themselves,

number were badly burned.

From the hotel the fire communicated
to a warehouse and shed adjoining,
which were consumed.
But for the iron roofing on the con-
centrator, it also would have burned.

but for the prompt work of citizens in
getting water on it, the entire town
would now be in ashes.
