Paraders Stoned and Jeered and
in Turn They Assail
TormenterS.
POLICE AND TROOPS CALLED
Charges With Drawn Bayonets Made
Upon the Rioters Before Order
Is Restored.

BELFAST, IRELAND. Aug. IA large
Nationalist demonstration in favor of
granting amnesty to all political prisoners
took place here to-day. An immense pro-
cession of Nationalist marched through
the streets and proceeded to Hannastown,
a suburb of Belfast, headed by bands of
music and displaying numerous banners
bearing inscriptions indicating the pur-
pose of the movement.
The streets Were lined with spectators,
who hooted, groaned and jeered the pro-
cessionists and finally threw few stones
at the paraders. Some of the paraders
were armed with spears, and these men
made an attack upon their tormentors
despite the efforts of the police, who were
out in full force to prevent them. A
fierce fight ensued. and the police made
several charges with drawn bayonets upon
| the com batants. as the result of which
| there were a great number of broken
heads. A dozen or more rioters were
taken to the hospital after order was re-
stored.
After noon the city magistrates held a
| meeting and ordered that the troops be in
| readiness to put down the disturbance
| which it was feared would occur when the
paraders returned from Hannastown in
the evening. Every preparation was &C.
cordingly made to suppress any attempt
at rioting and for a time the center of the
| city, to which the disturbances of the morn
ing were confined, was quiet, although the
streets were alive with excited people.
The procession returned to Belfast in
the evening, when it was soon seen that
the misgivings of the authorities were not
unfounded. AS the procession approached
the city the greatest excitement prevailed.
a number of opppoisiiOn mobs had gath
cred along the intended route of the pro-
cession on its return with the object of
making an attack upon the paraders, and
to prevent noting of the most active char
acter, the police barred the route which
had been laid out for the return march.
and then turned the parade off into
another direction.
In the meantime a heavy rain began
falling, but this had not the slightest
effect in diminishing the size of the
crowds which thronged the streets, nor in
alIying the excitement of the people.
The crowd was not aware of the route
taken by the paraders until it was too late
to make an attack upon them, and the
procession broke up without further
trouble. The crowd did not dispense until
late, but despite their threats there was no
further disorder. The rain fell heavily,
and this finally had the effect of dispers-
ing the mob.

Vest Virginia Oil Fieids Ilfuminated By
Burning Veil.

Vest Virginia Oil Fieids IitHmtndted oy
a Burning Veil.
SIsTERVILLE, w. Va, Aug. 1.-THE
OGDEN oil field was the scene last night OF
the most brilliant spectacle ever witnessed
In this State. The famous Newbanks oil
well, which is also strong producer OF
gas, took fire through accident. The DER
rick and several thousand barrels OF oil
were burned.
When the pressure was reduced at the
mouth of the we'll the gas broke the
spouting oil into sprays, throwing II INTO
the air more than 100 feet. The flame was
in the shape of huge torch, the spraying
oil forming into gIistening drops IN the
air and dropping in a dazzling shower;
while the smoke, denseIy black, rolled
away above the mountain. The hills last
night were crowded by sightseers, VINO
came from all over the region.
The loss to the owners IS enormous, as
the wells were producing 200 barrels day.
There is no way TO put out the ire, as the
gas ana oil pressure are constant and the
roaring heat of the flames terrific.

daughter and fired a shot at her. The
bullet struck the child on the right side OF
the temple. inficting slight wound.
Nelson was arrested.
At the station the murderer refused to
talk about his crime. He was very sulky
and the prison officials had to watch him
closely 10 see that he did not commit
suicide. His reputation is not very good
with people who know him. The neigh
bors say that he was regular brute to his
family and with everybody with whom he
came in contact. He was very jealous OF
his wife and often quarreled with her
without any provocation. Of late he has
been acting queerly and the tragedy this
morning is believed to be due to tempo
rary insanity on his part.

DULUTH, MINI, Aug. 17.-R. D. NAL
let, president of one of the ward silver
clubs here, has brought suit against the
city of Duluth to prevent the issue of
81, LOG. 600 of gold bonds, the proceeds of
which are to be used in building a water
plant. The complaint sets forth that the
election authorizing the issue was favor
able. but it alleges that the bonds, which
were sold to the Edward G. Jones Com
pany of Chicago and ordered to be issued,
are not such bonds as were authorized by
the election. The bonds are made paya-
bic, interest and principal, in gold coin of
the United States.
The complaint states that the Common
Council had no power or authority to is
sue such bonds. Mallet further alleges
that the bonded indebtedness of the city
is now in excess of the State law, which
provides that it shall not exceed 5 per
cent of the assessed valuation of taxable
property.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, Aug. IT,
Later and fuller reports show that the
storm of yesterday was of great extent
and violence. At Victor two houses were
washed away, but no lives were lost. The
roadbed of the Southern California Rail-
way was washed out for a considerable
distance and hundreds of feet of the track
were covered with mud and sand.
At Redlands the cemented storm bitches
were damaged to the extent of several
thousand dollars. Water flowed through
some of the streets TO the depth of nearly
two feet.
The storm was accompanied by hall, the
stones being three-fourths of an inch in
diameter. The wind, rain and hail dam
aged the orange crop, bur to what extent
cannot now be ascertained. At Old San
Bernardino a stream of water $50 feet wide
swept through valuable property, doing
great damage to orchards and crops.

MoSrpELIERs BANK ROBBERS.
Fully Identified By the Honssn for Whom
They Horh;ed.

POCATELLO, IDAHO, Aug. 17.-Mrs.
P. EmeIle, who lives on ranch eight
miles north of Cokeville, Wyo.. sent a
letter to Montpelier last night saying
that the three men who robbed the bank
at Montpelier had been employed on her
ranch up to within three days Of the rob-
berry.
Her husband, who is a jeweler at Mont
pelier. saw them in town at the time, and
says they answer perfectly to the descrip-
ton given of the robbers. One OF the men
is Bob Mccarthy, another Frank" while
the name of the third was not given. She
says they were good workers, but that on
rainy days, and whenever they could get
away, they would go to the mountains, as
if locating a hiding-place.
They were excellent shots and always
kept themselves heavily armed and acted
very suspiciously at times.
Deputy Crulckshank left early this
morning for their ranch to investigate the
case. The general opinion is that they
will hide near Cokeviile for 8 while after
eluding the Sheriff's posse.

CINCINNATI, Jan. 29-The Commercial

BICYCLES IN OLYMPIC GAMES.
Modern Wheels Rolling Amid tn
Scenery Of Ancient Greece.
washington Letter in Boston Herald.

The Grecian athlete has taken up the
bicycle, according TO our consul at Athens,

wheelmakers have OF disposing OF their
product. Consul George Horton says there

wheels sell here is S7s.65. and the average
weight is twenty-six pounds. The character
OF the roads renders lighter make imprac-
ticable, unless the machines are Of high
grade and with wide base. The duty on
bicycles is insignificant, not being manu-
featured here.
sThe history of the bicycle in Greece Is
here many years ago by the King. II was
an atwood affair, front driving, of the
variety known as 'boneshaker. Naturally.
his Majesty did not appear In public on
the streets, as bicycles were regarded by
the natives as supernatural and uncanny
for many years. The pioneer bicyclists or
fences and even dangers. They were hooted
and laughed at on the streets OF Athens,
and were sometimes stoned and tumbled
from their wheels. At the present day the
rustic generally crosses himself and utters
a prayer when bicycle passes him.
bicycling may be said TO have COM
menced here in earnest about eight years
ago with the founding of several clubs and
the adoption Of the wheel as an amusement
by leading Greeks. IL is safe to predict

lily and many of the leading diplomats are
now enthusiasts. The Crown Prince ana
the English, American and German minis
ters, among Others may be seen on the
streets every day mounted upon wheels.
Such leadership has more weight In Greece
than Ii would have in America Last year

MANY agreeable excursions can be made
with the wheel, among them from Athens

possible: for example. there is magnih-

Corinth. After stopping day or two
there to visit the ancient Acropolis. one
may continue the journey TO Nauplia, the

FoRGER CONES TO GRIEF.
A Clever Manipulator Of Figures Who
Lived High ON $5O,OOO Stolen Money.

BOSTON, Jan. 29.-Harry NJ. Fowle, hith-
erto valued and trusted clerk for the
Shepard a. Morse Lumber Company was
arrested to-day and IL is expected the
charges Of forgery and embezzlement pre-
ferred against him will aggregate $4,000,
the figures given out tonight being s47,
6l3. Fowle is pronounced by the expert
officers at police headquarters as one of
the most clever manipuators Of figures
brought TO their attention for long time.
For years he has lived IN luxury, but 1t
appears that his first downward steps were
taken in October, 1893. On Fowle's person
was found $50 in cash, loaded revolver
and two envelopes on one of which he had
written: private memo, Harry NJ. Fowle,
To be burned unopened in case OF death"
This led chief Watts to believe that fowie
would nave shot himself when arrested had
ne mad the opportunity or inclination. In
the envelopes were found a detailed list of
checks and cash which he had taken from
his employers. The total amount was SH,6l3.
Here r. sre Is his monthly statements: June 1881.

June, $2'lS,; July, 2.Ses; August Ss.oo4; Sep

The cash sums which he embeZzled varied
from $50 to $500 month, about 5000 in
all. This will be total loss 10 the COM
pany, while, on the other hand, the banks
will lose the greater part of the forged
amounts. These banks are located all over
the country and there are so many of them
that no one will sustain heavy loss. AS
ledger clerk for the firm he handled checks
in large numbers, and in the. absence OF the
cashier the cash receipts. which, as rule,
were paid in checks on banks He was
shrew enough to credit customers on the
ledger, although checks did not appear on
the cash books. Fowle is also credited with
forgeries in stamping checks with the COM
panys stamp and forging H. b. Shepard's
signature. Fowle opened an account at the
Old Colony Trust Company. depositing his
ments being cashed through other banks.
An Endorsed check presented at bank
where the firm had no account led to In
quries. He had no bad habits, but lived
better than his $1,000 salary would allow.
Fowle was very cool at first. but finally
confessed.
