Wholesale Massacre of Prisoners
Cars Wild Antics.

An electric car on the South Milwaukee
line slowed suddenly while descending a
sharp grade on Pennsylvania avenue and
capsized, rolling over and over on the
steel rails. There were eighteen passen-
gers in the car, and. strange to relate,
none were killed. Several were quite
badly bruised or burned, however. The
stove set fire to the car, but the flames
were extinguished and the imprisoned pas
sengers lifted from the windows of the
wrecked car.

Left Wing Demolished.

An avalanche of great volume and al
most irresistible power swept down upon
the buildings of the famous Monastery of
St. Bernard in France, and great appre-
hension was caused at Aosta for the
safety of the hospice and the fifteen Au-
gustinian monks who live there. Relief
parties were dispatched to the place that
has sheltered thousands of travellers DUR
ing centuries, and the hardy Alpine res
cuers We're overjoyed to find that there
had been no loss of life. A portion of
the avalanche demolished the left wing
of the monastery and buried the hospice
deep in snow and debris from the noun
tain side. Immediately the avalanche had
passed the monks began to dig tunnel
and soon made their exit They prepared
quarters in the Hotel de st. Louis,
smaller building, containing the store
house for food and lodgings for poor way
farers. Every school pupil in the land
recalls stories about this hospice, its keep
ers and the wond erful tales of travellers
rescued from death by the dogs, who
carry casks of cordials and even pack
ages of food strapped to their bodies. The
monastery was founded in 962 A. ID. by
st. Bernard de Mention, and for these
many years this brotherhood of Augustin-
ian monks has administered gratuitously
to the sufferings of travellers. The pres
ent substantial edifice dates from the mid
die of the sixteenth century, and another
portion was built in 1850. During nine
months each year, known as the snow sea-
son, the monks are constantly alert to
rescue unfortunate travellers. st. Ber-
nard dogs, descendants of an old line, but
not of the original ancient breed, share
the dangers of the next to the highest
hoIs lot ~, %hn A1Yoo a
middle ages this monastery was very
wealthy. Of late years the $4,000 travel
ers who annually take lodging there con-
tribute little more than what would be a
moderate hotel bill for 1000 guests. Pro
visions are taken there from Aosta during
July, August and September only. Scarce
ly any monk can continue in the dreary
abode and live for more than fifteen years.
He returns to the milder climate of Mar
tigny or some other place, broken in
health. Napoleon and his armies knew
we'll the benefits of the hospice. In 1898,
1900 and 1900, during the Italian cam
paign. several hundred thousand French
and Austrian soldiers crossed the pass.
Napoleon's men repulsed the Austrians
there and the general kept garrison at
the monastery to guard the pass a whole
year. AS early as 100 3. G. the Romans
used this route. Altogether it is place
associated intimately with the geographi-
cal studies of millions of scholars.
Wholesale Massacre of Prisoners.
A dispatch from Canea, Crete, says it
is reported there that 1900 Mussulmans
who were imprisoned in the fortress near
Selma have all been massacred by the
Christian insurgents, and that great APP
prehension is felt in regard to the fate of
1900 Mussulmans who are besieged near
CANDIDA The Mussulmans of Canea are
so incensed and excited at the danger of
their co-religionists that the lives of Eu-
ropeans are in danger and the foreign
consulates are threatened.

Has Solved the Tramp Problem.

Winnebago County, Wis, has solved the
tramp evil. and to a large extent the evl
of excessive official fees. The remedy IS
workhouse. From July 1. 1895, to
March /. 1896, the county paid $40, 250.54
for caring for it's Migrants From July l,
1906 when the workhouse was opened, to
March I 1897. the cost of care of Migrants
has been S2.2O7.3O, saving in eight
months of SS,O4324, or about $1,000 a
month. The number of tramps confined
in the jails of the county from Jan. l.
1896, to March 1, 1896, was 1904. IN
January and February of 1897 it was only
40 difference of 2,SO5 in two months.

The Portland daily press., 1897-07-09

At $50 O'Clock yesterday morning Mr..
J. E. Merrill, the Waterman in the
Portland Safety Deposit Vault, registered
his call upon the indicator in the bank.
After he had done so he heard noise,
like that of falling body. The noise ap-
parently came from the Portland Say
ings bank next door. Mr.. Merrill went
to the post Office and secured Mr.. Fred
Harris. The two made an investigation
and found the Waterman of the bank,
Mr.. Freeman L. Merrill, lying on the
floor unconscious. DR.. Cammett was
summoned and it was found that Mr..
Merrill had suffered shock of paralysis.
He was removed to his home on Wilmont
street in Rich's ambulance. He is in a
very precarious condition.
For over 30 years freeman t. Merrill
was an efficient member of the Portland
police department, serving as patrolman,
turnkey and deputy marshal. He has
been one of the most prominent Odd
Fellows in the state and was Supreme
Guard Representative in attendance on
the Supreme Grand Lodge when that
body met in San Francisco few years
az
