KNOWN NAIL FEEDER.


Early yesterday morning William A..
Kline was seriously injured by falling
from window in the second-stOry of
his residence at No. 1908 Chapline
street. According to the statements
made by members of the household it
is thought that Mr.. Kline was sitting
in the window and was seized with
paralysis, which caused him to lose his
balance and fell to the ground. 1t
was a side window from which he fell
and it WAS not until some time after
six o'clock that he was found lying in
an unconscious condition in the yard
below by his wife, who had just arisen
to resume her household duties. He
alighted on brick path and as a result
his right leg was broken in several
places, his skull fractured and he re-
ceived general injuries. DR.. R. M. Rau
was at once called and after making
thorough examination Of the injuries
stated that it was likely that Mr.. Kline
would not recover.
The victim is fifty-five years old and
has large family. He was employed
at one time as a mailer at the La Belle
mill. He is member of the Black
Prince Lodge, Knights of Pythias, and
the La Belle Lodge, A. o. U. W., and
is well known on the South Side.

AN UTTER FAILURE.
The Conference between Kruger and
Miner Leaves Things in Serious shape

The Conference Between Kruger and
Miner Leaves Things in Serious shape.
LONDON, June S.-Advices from
South African British sources show the
utter failure of the recent conference
between President Kruger and the
British high commissioner.
The London afternoon newspapers
all refer to the dangerous situation.
Sir Alfred Miners proposals in
cluded granting the Uitlanders addi-
tional seats in the Rand district, and
President Kruger, under pressure, fin
ally offered three additional seats.
President Kruger sought to use the
franchise proposals to obtain promise
to settle differences by arbitration, but
the British commissioner refused, TAX
ing the ground that internal reform
was necessary in order to preserve the
independence of the republic, and as
regards arbitration there was certain
questions upon which it could not be
admitted, while on other questions ar
bitration was possibly advisable, pro-
vided a suitable tribunal was suggest
ed, not involving the int ~ - ion of a
foreign power, which the gcyernments
would never allow.

Swift Punishment for Captured Rebels in

China.
VANCOUVER, B. c.. June S.-Pas-
sengers by the steamship Empress of
Japan give a graphic description of the
rebellion in Kow-Loon. When the
Empress passed up the coast from
Hong Kong the passengers saw the
smoking ruins of many villages burned
by Britishers as warning to the re-
bellious Cinnamon.
Seventeen thousand natives were
then in instruction, and SO serious
did affairs shape themselves on May, 16
that the Hong Kong volunteers were
called to the front. The Chinese were
simply chased from village to village,
with no show of resistance. and the
villages burned.
A British surveying party, while sur
veying the route of the Yannan rail-
way through China, were attacked and
roughly handled. They fired their pis-
tolls once into the air as warning,
then charged the mob. One Chinaman
was killed and ten wounded. All the
Chinese they captured were handed over
to the governor of the prefecture with
a demand that they be punished. The
headsmen were sent for. and before
the British could retire their forces the
prisoners heads rolled into the bas-
kats

AgR|R|0O8 CURRENT
Carries VenturesOme Young Bathers
to Their Death at Bellaire.
TWO GRAVEL HILL LADS, FRANK
LOVEJOY AND HARRY BECKER,
CARRIED UNDER BY THE
SWIRL AT BOGGS' RUN ISLAND.
HEROIC RESCUE OF A THIRD
LAD BY HIS COMPANION-BOD-
les NOT RECOVERED.

At Bellaire yesterday Frank Lovejoy,
aged s, and Harry Becker, aged 10,
were drowned while bathing in the
river at point above the steel plant
and between Boggs' Island and the
west bank. The place is dangerous
one owing to the swift current and the
treacherous bottom which at places
has offsets of from one to two feet
to trap the unwary. The lads who
lost their lives had gone in swimming
with some older boys. but had wan
dered to some distance from the latter
when they met their sad fate. The
boys at the time the accident occurred
were grabbing for cake of soap
which had escaped them and
they were playfully showing one
another about in the water. Suddenly
they, together with Harry McNeal, who
was also near them. slipped over the
abrupt ledge into the deep pool and
were instantly caught by the swirl and
carried farther out. Young McNeal,
the elder of the three, was able to keep
his head above water and his cries for
help brought his companions to his
aid. None of the three boys could
swim, but George Glover, Jr., aged IL,
son of George Glover, ST., of Jefferson
street, who was one of the assisting
party, with becoming heroism, dove
into the stream, and grabbing McNeal
by the arm, dragged him into shallow
water. BY this time Frank Loyejoy
and Harry Becker had drifted far out
into the river and their struggling bod
les were only to be family seen now
and then rising to the surface. All
effort to save them seemed futile and
the frightened lads standing upon the
shore were compelled to leave them to
their fate.
A large crowd was soon attracted to
the spot and during the day dynamite
was exploded and the river dragged
in hope of raising the bodies, but with
out avail. The accident occurred about
half-past 10 o'clock and the search was
still being prosecuted at a late hour
last night.
Frank Lovejoy is son of John Love-
joy, who resides near the west end of
the B. G o. bridge, but the boy had
been making his home with his grand
mother, Mrs. C. V. Leach, on Gravel
Hill The other unfortunate lad also
resided on Gravel Hill and is a son
of Henry Becker, of Jefferson street
The point in the river where it is
thought the bodies would naturally
lodge is filled with drift and debris,
rendering the work of searching for the
bodies very difficult and at the same
time reducing the possibilities for sue
cess to a minimum.
