WAGES OF SIN.
Would-Be Thief Meets His Death
Near Tacoma, Wash.
He TRIES TO ROB An ELECTRIC CAR.
Officials Offer Resistance and Battle
with Revolvcrs Ensucs-Thc Rob-
Der Is Killed md Two other
Persons Wounded.

Tacoma, Wash, May 22.-A single
robber, late Friday afternoon, held up
and attempted to rob an incoming car
on the Steilacoom electric line. Abou.
four miles out of the city tall man,
roughly dressed, hailed the car, which
stopped to let him aboard. AS he got
on the platform he pulled blue dotted
calico mask, having holes cut through
for eyes, down over his face, produced
revolver, and ordered Superintendent
Dame, of the motor line, and Motorman
Wellman to the rear of the car. They
complied slowly, and he followed, order
ing the men and passengers to hold up
their hands and the ladies to sit still
Dame and Wellman had entered rear
compartment, used for carrying bag
gage and freight. The robber evidently
thought them safely disposed of, for
he paid no more attention to them, but
commenced relieving the passengers Of
their valuables. Dame drew his gun and
fired at the robber, who returned the
fire. Dame fired two shots and the rob-
Der three. Two minutes later the rob-
Der was lying beside the car dead, while
Dame had been shot in the arm, and
Jewett Smith, passenger, in the leg.
One of Danes bullets passed through
the right arm of the robber and the
other through the left arm, both en-
tering his body, striking lungs or
heart. Grooming heavily, he staggered
backward TO the front platform and
fell off the steps, head downward

VICTIMS OF GASOLINE.
Stove Explodcs in St. Louis - -Four
Dead and ScXcrnl Injured.

ST. Louis, Mo-, May 22.-Friday "a
gasoline stove exploded in the upper
rooms of 234l Menard street, occupied
by Gustav Mohr and family. Four per-
sons lost their lives and three others
were badly burned. The victims are
as follows: Mrs. Ada NIohr, 80 years
of age, and Baby Mohr, is months old,
burned to crisp and their bodies taken
tic the morgue; Hugo Howard, Is
hospital; Mrs. Bessie Howard, 2S years
old, at the hospital, cannot live; Will
liam Howard, five years old, died at
the hospital; Max Gumpert and Henry
Surman, painfully burned.
The kitchen in the rear of the
second story of 2341 Menard street
was. transformed into roaring
fiery furnace in flash. In this furnace
were confined helpless mother, Ter
two babies and the IS months old tot
of neighbor. The mother persisted in
torturing agony. One of the little ones
was sacrificed to the raging fire. For
her desperate effort to save her baby
life another mother will probably sac
rifice her own at tie altar of ma te-aal
affection.
Mrs. Mohr, in whose kitchen the ex-
plosion occurred, in order to make the
fire in the cook stove burn faster,
poured gasoline over the wood. The
blaze in the stove ignited the can of
gasoline and an explosion followed.
The burning oil was thrown in all di-
rections, enveloping Mrs. Mohr and the
children. Mrs. Howard, who was also
cooking supper in her house. heard the
cries, and, running out on the porch,
caught sight of the flames. She darted
into the burning kitchen and began
CROPPING for her boy. She was dragged
from the room by Max Gumpert.

1t was new ceremony, but the spirit

felt the significance as he laid roses
on the graves of men who had made
earth's final sacrifice. And when other
ceremonials were occupying the rest
he slipped from his schoolmates and
laid rose on the grave of soldier
who had fought for freedom and had
neglected to accumulate even so much
as would have purchased monument.
As the boy turned back to the crowd
a. woman approached him swiftly-a
woman of fair and happy, yet wistful,
face. Her gentle hands had caressing
in them, and the fragrance of her
breath was like a memory from in
fancy. She gave. him paper.
''Read it when you get home" she
said. "When you have found the other
half you will know" Then she stopped
and kissed him and walked swiftly
away, while he stood wondering.
'The other half! Twill llnow-what?
Who was she?'
He looked at the paper. 1t was torn
bit of letter, much wrinkled. 1t was
dark stained on the uneven edge. And
there was a miniature flag, like mono
gram, on the upper corner. And this
is what he found:

the son of a soldier leaped to his feet.

He went straight to his grandfather,
and showed him the two matched frag-

said, "but that woman was my mother.

cut in two by the bullet that gave him
his death wound. And she has never
asked you for anything, though she
might have asked you for much. Now
ask for her. Where is she?"
And the grandfather told He was
less bitter to the woman who had sent
his son to the war. since she had soothed
that son while he suffered. So that the

FORGERY CHARGED.
Sensational Developments in the Lo-

snhsport Und.) Bank Failure.
Logansport, Ind, May 22.-The sensa-
tional developments in the bank fail
ure, as expected, are coming to light
every hour. AT $3.50 o'clock Friday
afternoon Bank Examiner Caldwell
swore out an affidavit charging John +.
johnson, president of the State nations
al bank, with embezzlement, misappro-
priation of funds and with intention
to deceive and defraud the bank and
the bank examiner. The paper is in
the hands of United States Commits
sioner George w. Funk and will be
served as soon as a United States dep
uty marshal can be secured. Forgery is
also charged to President johnson, and
the examiner thinks the amount will
run up to SOL 900. He is alleged to have
embezzled 100000 of bank funds, SOL
500 of which was concealed in the GER
tificate of deposit and $4,000 in the in
dividual ledger. The arrest will likely
take place this morning. Every avenue
of escape has, it is said, been cut off
by the watchful deputy United States
marshal.

tol ging the names of prominent business
men to a total of 80 notes, representing
$2o1,oo0. The money was secretly bor-
rowed from the funds of the bank, not
one of the depositors having any idea
of such proceeding on account of the
unusual confidence placed in the pres.
ident. The day was busily spent in I'M
earthing more of the numerous mort
cages, and every hour hope grew less
in the hearts of the depositors, and
particularly the stockholders. Property
is being decided to the stockholders by
johnson, and every effort is being made
to save himself. One hundred thousand
dollars worth of property has been
decided to the bank during the last 81
hours.
President johnson has protected one
of his private creditors, in the person
CT a one-legged boy named Charles
Heitzman. He was guardian of the boy
and had $1,000 of his money. To make
the boy safe, or nearly so, he has decided
to him property in Gas City valued at
about $4,000. The other private cred
itors will likely lose all of their claims,
as Mr.. johnson is now without any
means.

De Kind to the Living.

Do we remember the old soldier as
we should? One day in the year we do
him honor, but how about the rest?
True, he has his pension and perhaps
he lives in one of the national homes
prepared for him. But what of that,
when he has faced death in hundred
forms and perhaps drags about a, mu-
tilated body! He gave years of his
young life to the purchase of freedom
rather than to the accumulating Of
worldly goods. Is this much to give
him, in return? Let us not, then, wait
until he has died in obscure poverty to
place his name on monument or scroll,
but show him now the love and graft
tude which will make bright his declin-
ing years.

Paris, May 22.-The Athens CORE
spondent of the Journal referring to the
recent defeat of the Greeks, telegraphs:
The stupor and panic caused by the

seem to expect the immediate arrival
of the Turks at Athens. On all sides
families are preparing to go to the
islands, anxious crowds parade the

Terms of Peace.
Constantinople, May 22.-The ambas-

to which they will agree. The note will
refuse to permit the abolition of the

Gambia, Island of Crete, May 22.-The
Cretan insurgents have received in
structions from Athens to accept an
autonomous form of government on
condition that the Turkish troops sh...l
be previously withdrawn from the is

prove of this plan for the settlement
Of their grievances. The Mussulmans
Of Crete, however, have telegraphed to

lages," adding:

cept Intervention Regarding Cuba.
Madrid, May 22.-Senor Moret
Prendergast, former minister, asked
the government on behalf of the liberals
in the chamber of deputies to submit
I'LL the papers relating to the rebellion
in Cuba and to the diplomatic relations
Of Spain with the powers. Senior Can
ovas, the premier, replying, said the
government could only attach credit to
such information as was sent by Capt.
Gen. Weyler. He severely blamed the
American newspapers for disseminat-
ing false news, and cited as case in
point recent statements attributed to
Consul General Lee. The premier said:
"Spain's relations with other powers
continue cordial, but the advice which the
Americans are Offering to us az to Cuba
cannot be followed, because Spain will
never accept any intervention in matter
which peculiarly concerns herself. The
documents which have been asked for
would only refer to this advice. The gov
.rnment has accepted full responsibility
for everything which has been done by
Capt. Gen. Weyler''
Senior Moret y Prendergast asked if
it were true that the United States SEN
ate had recognized the belligerency of
the Cuban insurgents The PREMIERE
piled that the report to this effect was
not surprise to him as it was ques-
ton of creating more difficulties for
President Mckinley in connection with
the tariff bill, but he said he believed
President Mckinley, like President
Cleveland, would decide for himself in
such matter. ser.s--,.s.
In the course of his reply to the in
terpellation of Senior Canovas, he said
that the exchanges of opinion between
Spain and the other European powers
on the subject of Cuba had always been
unofficial The powers had shown great
reserve in defining their views and this
attitude had led the government to be-
lieve that they We're unwilling to offer
any effective intervention between
Spain and the United States. The ex-
change of views had been friendly, but
Spain had refused the proffered media
ton. The guarded tone adopted by the
premier in reference to the belligerency
vote of the senate has made profound
impression, but the general opinion in
the Hobbies is that President Mckinley
and Secretary Sherman will not allow
the senate to drive them into conflict

his horses, as the sharp words of the
drill sergeant cut the silence of the sum-
mer day, grieved for the boy who was
obstinately yet blamelessly minded just
now to go into great danger. And the
little children whose brothers were fol-
lowing the drummers up and down the
public square shuddered as they
thought of the battles coming, and
wished-very ingloriously-that this
company might be sent to some place
where hostile bullets could not come.
AT the end of the bridge, on a little
elevation that commanded distant
view of the public square. Judge Wade
and his wife sat in the back seat of their
open carriage, and looked at the soldiers
learning promptness and precision and
concerted movement. On the front seat
sat young Wallace Wade.
"Drive on" said the judge. eve have

But young Wade gathered the reins
slowly, and looked again at the uni
formed men, at the handsome dress of
the officers, at the seductive CLINT of the
guns.
Come, come" said the judge.
"Drive on, Wallace" said Mrs. Wade.
But yet the strapping fellow lin
gered. he was in the untried ground
where two allegiances met. Presently
he turned impulsively, yet resolutely,
his eyes full of light his parents rec
ognized, though they never had seen.
"You drive home, father" he said,
and passed the lines to the older man.

leaped lightly to the ground.
