Carnival.

Kennebunkport, August 25.-The an
nual illumination and river carnival took
place here tonight, with upwards of 5000
spectators present The weather was all
that could be desired and the programme
was successfully carried out. The people
began to gather from far and near early
in the evening. Special trains were run
and every conveyance available seemed to
have been called into use to bring the
people here. 1t O'Clock the appointed
hour, the river banks became blaze of
light, bon fires, fireworks and lanterns,
all being joined to brighten up the scene.
The boats and canoes which had formed
in line on the river presented o beautiful
appearance and seemed to be riding on q
river of fire from the lights reflected on
the surface of the water. The club house,
the hotels and many private residences
along tho banks of the river and in the
village joined in the general illumination.

Six Men Strung Up By An Arkansas
MOb.
ONE NEGRO BURNED IN. HIS OWN
HOUSE.
Terrible Results of a Negro Picnic-Two
White Men Killed and Eight Negroes
are Lynched to Avenge Their Death,

are Lynched to Avenge Their Death,
Little Rock, Ark, August 25.-Fearful
scenes have been enacted in Arkansas in
the past few days. If the report which
reached here today be true, wholesale
lynching, which, for the number of men
put to death, without process of law, has
seldom been paralleled in the annals of
crime, has taken place in Cleburne
county, where. according to the reports,
six men were swung into eternity last
night by maddened and enraged mob of
citizens of that county. One negro rapfst
was burned in his own home by posse
OF deputy sheriffs in Drew county, Sun
day night, and Tuesday morning the life
less body of negro murderer was found
dangling from railroad trestle near
Pine Bluff. Last night six OF the muir
derer's companions were taken to Jail at
Rison and today comes the report that
the entire half dozen were lynched last
night. All efforts to verify this report
has SO far proven futile, but there are
reasons to believe that 1t is true.
A terrible riot occurred at negro pic
mic near Kendall on Saturday. There
was much drunkenness among the negroes
and two white men were attacked and
terribly cut by mob of the picnickers.
One of these men, Mr.. S. T.. johnson,
very prominent white man, died of
his wounds.
The white citizens became enraged at
the negroes and took matters in their
own hands, and the TWO ringleaders In
the riot were arrested and turned over to
the mob. Quick work was made Of one
of them, but the other escaped, after be-
ing shot several times Not satisfied, the
enraged citizens began searching for other
members of the rioters of the party and
six more were gathered in.
They were arrested at daylight and the
officers started with them to jail at
Orisen, the county seat. The excitement
ran SO high that reliable information was
hard to obtain. but the prediction has
freely been made that all six of the ne
eroes would5be lynched within 10 hours.
The report that the sextuple lynching
has already occurred reached here through
passengers arriving from Pine Bluff,
which place is only short distance from
the scene of excitement.

Situation Growing Worse Every Day
VIII Cost Many Lives to Subdue the
Wild Tribesmsn-Many British Strong
holds Threatened.
Bombay, August 25, II p. m.-The
latest dispatches received from the front
indicate that the sitution on the frontier
is getting worse. 1t Is evident that the
Indian government must face a grave
crisis, involving heavy expenditures and
probably great loss of life.
The government is confronted with the
following state of affairs: Khyber Pass
has fallen into the hands of the Afridis;
the posts in Kurran Valley are threatened
BY the powerful tribe Of the Orakzais; !;
the Mohamand tribesman are meditatlng
a renewal of hostilities around Fort Shah
kadr, while thousands of troops are en-
gaging the revolt in the Sawt valley and
two large brigades are holding the Tochi
valley, where the Mahsud- -Maziris are
again hostile.
Fort Jamrud is held by strong force
of British and native troops, and th e
British front extends about thirty-five
miles from Shabkadr along the north side
of the Cabul river and southwards to
Peshawur, where the troops are massing
as the Bazoade demonstration against
Orakzais, who occupy the regions south
of the Afridis, but have not yet assumed
the belligerent proportions of their
northern neighbors. There is rising,
however, of small parties which is prov
ing troublesome near Kohat, and 1t is
expected that both tribes will try to close
the Kohat Pass. Numbers of tribesmen
are moving up towards Khyber from
honat and that district, making the salt
tariff the pretext for hostilities.
:, Inc widest excitement prevails among
the H1ndoo traders at Bau on Kurram
river. 1t is rumored that 1000 Waziris in
the town and massacre the inha bitants.

Have Long Known President Borda's Life
Was in Danger.
Washington, August 25.-The assassina-
tion of President Borda of Uruguay was
not altogether surprise to officials here
who have watched the recent outbreaks in
Uruguay. This was the second attemIt
on the presidents life, the former being
made by crazy student named Revecca.
After 1t failed the United States minister
made personal call on President Borda
to convey the congratulations of President
Mckinley on the formers escape. The
last mail advices received here showed
that the revolution had broken out
afresh, the peace delegates from the insur
gents having given up the hope of secur-
ing peace and withdrew to Argentine.
Further agitation was occasioned by the
reports that the government receipts had
shrunk 81, 500, 900 during the year as re-
suit of the revolution. The last issue of
the Montfedeo Times received here states
that the president remained away from
the State House In evident fear of his life,

president doubtless brings the country to
revolutionary crisis which has been long
pending The revolution thus far had
been confined to the country districts
where several extensive engagements had
been fought, the government forces
having the advantage.
There is no Uruguayan representative
in Washington.
