Says He Saw the DeviI.

John Orth, 3147 North Thirteenth
street, st. Louis, says he saw the devil
the other nSght, and had fight with
him.
Ortiz says the devil, looking like Newfound-
land dog with horns, entered his room, at night.
He chased the devil into the back yard where
he made the sign of the cross and the devil ran
away, only to return to the house. The neigh
bors were attracted by the noise, and one of
them gave Ortiz scapular. When he put it on
the devil ran around the corner of the street
with his tail between his legs.
Ortiz was taken to the hospital, for observa-
ton, the belief being that the hot weather had
affected his mind.

Enforced Delay.
QUEENSTOWN, July 9.-The North
German Lloyd steamer Spree, Capt.
Meier, which sailed from New York on
June % for Bremen via Cherbourg, and
which should have arrived there on
July 4, reached here yesterday in tow
of the British steamer Maine, from
Philadelphia for London. All the
Spree's passengers and crew are well.
The delay was caused by the crack
ing of her crank shaft on July 2. while
$50 miles off the coast of Ireland. The
sea was calm at the time of the acci-
dent, and the Spree drifted until $3.50
p. M, July 5, when the Maine
hove in sight and steamed close
to the North German Lloyd YES
sci. The captain of the Spree
sent one of his boats to the
Maine and arrangements were made to
tow the disabled steamer to this port.
There was no excitement and the pas
sengers enjoyed themselves as best
they could under the circumstances.

The Indicted Arraigned-'Peached to Sc
cure His Own Safety.
New YORK, July I0.-Martin Thorn
and Mrs. Augusta Mack, indicted for
the murder of VIM. Guldensuppe were
yesterday arraigned in the court of
general sessions. At the request of
counsel pleading was postponed till
Monday. Thorn had no lawyer and
counsel was assigned him by the court.
The Herald says that John Gotha be-
trayed Thorn through no motive of
public duty, but because he feared for
his own life. It is alleged that in ar
ranging with Gotha for the meeting on
Tuesday night, Thorn had a plan to
lure his quondam friend to Morris Park
which is little frequented at night and
there kill him in such a way TO carry
the impression of suicide.

The Torrid Wave.

Probably never in the history of Mis-

been experienced as the recent one.
Mercury at several localities went to lOI and
los in the shade, while in the sun it registered
100 to 100 In st. Louis there was lauch suffer-
ing in the thickly populated districts, and
there were many prostrations and deaths from
heat Factories closed down. in many in
stances it was simply impossible fo- men to
work
Farmers were compelled to suspend work in
the fields Not few took advantage of the
bright moonlight nights to pillow and harvest.
Many farmers lost horses and other stock from
the intense heat

PITTSBURGH, Pa, July 1.-THE week

On the alert to secure the slightest al
vantage. Openly aggressive work was
done by either side, and the miners
held meetings all over the country

little and are saying less However,

come to the surface yesterday. The
miners were paid off as announced. ouS

No intimation of lawlessness as yet
in this region, but Sheriff Lowry, Oh
Allegheny, has anticipated any trouble
by swearing in 500 deputies who are IN
readiness for the field at a moments
notice. At this time such precautlon
seems like over zealousneSs. The min
ers say there will be no overt acts COM
mitted during the war and all pro-
