DIED IN HIS SPITE HOUSE,

Now York, June 9.---Joseph Rich
ardson, an eccentric millionaire, died
here yesterday. He made HIS fortune
in railroad building and was closely
associated with the Vandorbilts ana
Goulds. He came as n poor boy from
England, Mr.. Richards fortune has
been estimated at $2O.00000 Ho
dressed more like n tramp than
wealthy man and lived and died In
house which was only five feet wide.
This place has been called tho spite
house." II was built because the sur
rounding property owners refused to
meet Mr.. ri ,hardson's terms for the
narrow lot. He afterwards refused
fabulous sums for the little piece OF
ground on which his house stood amid
the tall houses on the best part OF
Lexington avenue. His greatest aver
sion was to seeing his name In print.

ROASTED LIKE PIGS.

Vancouver, B. c., June 9.-Further
interviews with officers of the steamer
Hupeb, now in port, elicit the fact that
twenty-five Catholic monks were
roasted by the rebels in the Philippine
islands and not by Spanish troops as
previously reported. The information
was furnished by a prominent resident
of Ilo-llo, in the group Of islands, and
corroborated by foreign CONSUL. In
consequence of cruelties practiced by
the Spanish troops on the
rebels the rebels in revenge per-
pertat ed acts of cruelty on
the helpless monks who came in
their clutches. According to the GUS
tomary mode Of roasting sucking pigs,
by thrusting a bamboo through the
body and then roasting 1t over slow
fire, this was done to the monks.
