THE HAMILTON TRAGEDY
Comment of the State Press on the
Atrocious Crime.

Nephi Republic: The Hamilton
murder case is attaching a great
deal of attention. There is no use
denying the fact that it was
the most diabolical murder that has
ever been perpetrated in this state. II
is also evident that the murder was
well planned. The evidence at the in
quest seemed to show that the woman
did the deed with her brother-in-law
as an accessory. The GOODNESS Of the
woman also shows that she has knowl-
edge who committed the deed. There
We're also fiat contradictions in her tes-
timony and other statements which
only strengthened the web which was
slowly but surely weaving about her.
We do not like to see the woman
branded as a murderer, yet we claim
that justice should be done poor Ham
ilton. 1t was enough to blight his life
for the future by her descending to the
role of q courtesan, but TO finish the
matter by murder, if proven, she has
descended even lower than when she
was fondled by the life-b laSter Pavey.
We fervently hope that the murdered
man viii be avenged-that no matter
Where the arm of law strikes, it should
be done swiftly and surely. The man
who started and fomented the whole
business should also be dragged before
a court of justice and receive his just
deserts.-Nephi Republic.
Sandy Independent: Decent peo-
pie must read with disgust the
evidence that is given in the Ham
alton murder case. Of the wife's guilt
and unfaithfulness. Such private mat
tiers as are brought to light at this trial
must make the cheek of every lady and
gentleman blush with shame to know
that such disgraceful conduct could ex-
list between fellow beings.
Provo Enquirer: The substrata of
society belch forth occasionally such
filth as has been befouling the social
atmosphere of the capital, and when
one realizes how many garnished Sc
pulchres there are today. he feels like
crying forth in the words of the Savior:
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees
hypocritesl for We are like unto whited
sepulchres, which indeed appear beau
tiful outward, but are within full of
dead mems bones, and of all unclean-
ness. Such is largely the society of to-
day. A society man. taking liberties
with other mems wives. yet upheld by
the best people" of the community-re-
peated disgraces may come TO him but
be has outlived them all by his social
influence" Such is a common picture of
modern corruption.
Logan Journal: If the present run of
murders. suicides and sexual crimes
continue. revivalists will consider Utah
a promising field.

In Texas Cloudbursts Do Not Come
Singly.


Singly.
Dallas. Tex, April 25.-A special to
the News from Eufalia, Indian Terri
tory, says:
A series of cloudbursts, heavy wind
and transforms occurred in and around
Eufaula all of last night and extended
over about 100 square miles of terri
tory.
The rain fell in torrents and was the
heaviest for 80 years. Farm houses,
fences and crops were washed away to
an extent amounting 10 a calamity
The North Canadian railway bridge is
so badly damaged that no train can
cross it, and il cannot be repaired for
"a hours. The southbound passenger
train had scarcely passed il at GAS last
night when the south end gave way
Many trains are tied up at this point,
and there is a series of washouts for
20 miles that are impossible for the
present. The damage to crops is beyond
estimate. Nearly every acre of ground
for many miles in all directions will
have to be reDlanted, and many farms
are entirely under water.
Several covered wagons fioated down
the South Canadian river this morning,
accompanied by small houses and
household furniture. All ferry boats
are washed away, and communication
cut off. So far. no news of loss of life
has been received. Much property was
destroyed in Eufaula by the wind and
rain. a cyclone passed about five miles
south of town, destroying some houses
and killing some cattle, but the full
losses cannot be ascertained at this
hour.
The rivers are now falling. but re-
pairs cannot yet be made on the rail-
way bridge.

MORA is DEAD.
Event Brings Up the Story Which
Made Him Famous.

New York. April 25.-Antognio

whose claim against Spain was finally
settled in 1895 by the payment by
Spain of nearly 81, 900 900, died at the

was arrested for being in sympathy
with the insurgents, tried by court
martial and sentenced TO be shot. The
court also directed that his property
be confiscated Mora and his brother
escaped to this city where Mora laid
claims before Hamilton Fish, then
secretary of state. He estimated the
loss to himself and brother at $1,000
900. Diplomatic correspondence began,
and in 1886 Spain acknowledged the
claim TO be a valid debt, although de-

OUTLOOK IS GLOOMY.
There is No Use in Attempting to
Disguise 1t.

Athens, April 25.-Noon.-It is useless
to deny that a very gloomy outlook of
the war prospects is taken here by the
better informed. There are, however,
no signs of panic. The city exhibits an
attitude of dignified endurance while
many persons still show an undated
enthusiasm for fight. This symptom is
particularly noticeable among the
wounded now in Athens. Their one de-
sire seems TO be healed in order that
they NAV rejoin the colors Naturally
this spirit is much fostered by the con-
firmation of the reports that the Turks
have burned the Greek wounded in
church at KurtZivolf. The Turks
lighted fires under the bodies of wound
ed beasts. Many of the Greek wounded
implored their comrades to kill them.
others committed suicide.
Although II is said that the Greeks
carried off all their guns from Turnavo
ana Larissa, and also destroyed the
provisions at both places, they could
not transport the guns at Pharsala.
1t Is reluctantly believed by some in
Athenian circles that the retreat was
somewhat disorderly, and that some of
the guns were abandoned with but
feeble defense. 1t seems probable, how
ever, that in the main the retreat was
in good order.
This morning the word goes forth
here that the government will perse-

termination. The report, however, has
not served to allay the growing iFrita-

could not hold her own. the non-offens-

the crown prince not to attack, was
idiotic and un-Grecian.

TURKISH TRIUMPHs.
They Cause the Liveliest Satisfaction

Constantinople, April 25.-The tri-
umph of the Turkish arms has caused
the liyeliest satisfaction tere. The fol-
lowing telegram from Edhem Pasha
is posted everywhere:
'Larissa was occupied today by the
cavalry of the imperial army. The
Hellenic troops fed in disorder.

This has been put up as a bulletin in

position in front of Tyrnavo which is
as follows:

/ Larissa, was taken by the Ottoman
troops on Friday. Hamid Pasha's
division having left Koskosi (Karya)
and effected junction with the other
| imperial troops at Milloorin. The
town of Tyrnavo which is situated
two hours from Larissa was occupied
today by the ElaSSona army corps. The
Ottoman troops continue to advance
toward the plain Of Larissa-"
Osman Pasha has been given secret
instructions. A dispatch from Smyrna
says that the Redifs who were called
out yesterday are intended for the
towns of Smyrna, Vurta and Seal
anova, in order to prevent disturbances
by the Greek residents there.
A meeting of the council of ministers
on Saturday considered the expulsion
of Hellenic subjects from Turkey.
Marked Irritation is displayed in official
circles at the Intervention of the for
eign embassies on this subject, as it is
feared that some trouble might arise
from the ships of the powers sent to
protect foreigners at Salonica- The
consuis at Janina telegraphed to the
foreign ambassadors here last Friday
that the Albanian battalions had mu-
TIMED and were refusing to march as
we'll as threatening to attack the town.
The Mussulman population, according
to these advices, has quilted Janina en-
masse, some fleeing into the country
and others taking refuge in the
fortress. The consuls described their
own position and that of the Christian
element at Janina as critical, the vail
having refused TO distribute arms and
ammunition TO enable the inhabitants
to defend Janina against the AL
banians. The ENJOYS Immediately
called the attention of Tewfik Pasba to
the matter and demanded the adoption
of effective measures to protect the in
habitants.
These representations have been re-
newed again today to the porte.
