TORN UP STREETS

AND SOME OF THE DISASTERS TO
LIFE WHICH THEY HAVE OCCA-
STONED.
For months the streets Of New York
nave been reeking with poisonous odors
and this is also true OF most cities in
America. These deadly gases have come
from the exposed sewer pipes, gas pipes.
and from the turned-up soil. saturated
with malaria. Every breath drawn has
carried some Of these death germs into
the body.
The important question to US all is how
to prevent malarial diseases or. having
contracted IT, how il can be cured.
Every one Knows that the best physi-
clans always prescribe stimulant for
such troubles. Nature must be assisted
and pure stimulants alone can do II. But
unless they are pure, instead of assisting
they Will injure. Prof. Henry A. Mott, of
this city. says: THE purity of Duffy's
Malt Whiskey (as simple tests will readily

DR.. William T. Gutter says: 'Duffy's
Pure Malt Whiskey contains no deleteri.
Gus or injurious qualities and its absolute
purity must recommend It to general use.

nado struck New Jersey yesterday. II
Travelled from the little village Of Far
Hills. near Summit. to Elizabeth. The
storm appeared in the form Of a black
cloud. which Increased in size and ra-
pidity as 1t approached the village
There was a perfect calm, and then
the tornado struck the village. It's path
was about 800 feet wide A barn be-
longing to David Dumont was demol-
ished. The roof Of the house which
stood near by was stripped Of its shin
giles and shutters. The other houses
suffered in the same way, but none was
blown down.
The most serious damage was at the
depot. which was unroofed, the heavy
tin being rolled up into a mass and car
ried several hundred feet.
When the storm reached Elizabeth II
swept down a partly finished dwelling
house on Atlantic street. John Clark, a
laborer Of Bayonne, with another work
man. had taken refuge in the partly
completed house, and Clark was buried

on it's way to the British authorities
Lord Salisbury's note Of declination, it
can now be stated, bore date Of oct. 6,
last Wednesday, so that the response is
made with promptness.
The answer states that the United
States government views with astonish-
ment the determination Of Great Brit
ain not to participate in a conference
including Russia and Japan, and the
statement is made that up to the 2Sd of
last month the United States authori-
ties had fully expected that the con-
ference would proceed with Russia and
Japan as well as Great Britain repre-
sented.
1t is pointed out that aside from the
written correspondence, to which Lord
Salisbury had called attention, there
were verbal negotiations between En-
bassador Hay and his lordship, in which
specific reference was made to the par
ticipation of Russia and Japan. At one
OF these verbal exchanges It is stated,
Lord Salisbury said he would advise
with the officials of the foreign office
concerning the subjects discussed, which
included the participation of Russia and
Japan. subsequently, on July 29, En-
bassador Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury,
saying the president hoped to have RUS
sia and Japan participate in the confer
ence. In view Of these circumstances,
the United States had confidently eX-
pected that Great Britain would take
part in the conference, and that Russia
and Japan would be represented with
the approval of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply and In
view OF the differences which have
arisen the state department suggests q
conference in accordance with th'
terms of Lord Salisbury's agreement
as he construes it--namely, between
experts of Great Britain, the United
States and Canada This last feature
IS now under consideration by the Brit
ish government, its substance having
been transmitted by cable but it Is no
/ expected that an answer VIII be mad
until Mr.. Sheman's answer In detail
reaches London. In the meantim
| preparations for the conference be
tween the United States. Russia an'
Japan are proceeding. The Japanes
delegates, who are now en- route froh
San Francisco. have decided to stol
over for two days at Chicago and VII
not reach Washington until next sun
day night. Two of the Russian dele
gates. Mr.. Botldne and Mr.. Rout
kowsky. are here. and the remainin

A HOLDUP IN TEXAS
Train Robbers Went Through
the Passengers Pockets.
LEFT THEN WITHOUT A SINGLE CENT
The Conductor of the Train Was Shot,
but Not SeriOusly-When the Thieves
Had Finished They Uncoupled
the Engine and Escaped-

AUSTIN, Oct 13.-In broad open day
light and within 12 miles Of the COR
porate limits Of this city the south
bound Cannonball train on the Inter
national and Great Northern railroad,
consisting of mail. baggage and express
cars and three coaches loaded with pas
sengers. was held up by four men and
robbed. The conductor Of the train,
Tom Healy was shot by the robbers
while resisting them, but fortunately
was not seriously wounded. One Of the
passengers had his shirt collar carried
away by a pistol ball that was aimed
at his neck. and another received a
bullet wound in the hand.
The passengers were robbed Of some
5000 in money. The bandits attempted
TO rifle the safe IN the express car, but
We're unsuccessful.
When the train reached MCNEIL, a
small station Ia miles above this city,
two men, heavily armed, boarded the
train and took their stand on the rear
platform After the conductor had
checked UP the train he reached the
platform only TO find a pistol at each
side Of his head. The men demanded
that he stop the train. He declined to
do so and began to run through the
train, with the two robbers in close
pursuit. He had not gone half the
length of the first car when the fore
most robber shot at him, bringing him
to the floor with a pistol wound in his
right arm.
At this juncture the other robber
pulled the bellcord, and the train was
brought to a standstill. 1t was evil
IDENTIFY at the appointed place, for the
train had hardly stopped before two
other men, whose faces were covered
with masks, stepped out from among
the trees and began shooting into the
cars. Instantly all was confusion. The
two men on the train were immediate
ly joined by those from the woods and
began their work. As the colored train
porter sprang from the rear coach and
ran for shelter a robber began shooting
at him. and the negro emptied re-
vOlyer In turn without effect.
The express messenger looked out OF
his car. and taking in the situation, left
the car and ran through the woods
and was soon lost to sight. The robbers
in the meantime, leaving two men tC
guard the three coaches, which were
packed with passengers, proceeded tC
the express car and demanded that thg
baggageman open the express safe, but
upon being assured he could not do 50
they turned their attention to the pas
sengers. They took only money from
them. not overlooking a single cent, anC
walking two by two through the cars
so as to always keep their eyes on ih'
passengers. Having secured about 500
ia this manner, they uncoupled the en-
CINE from the train and started It of
down the track. After going severa
miles they set the lever at a moderat
gait and leet the engine.
