A WARM RECEPTION.
Three DespcradOes Get the Worst of
an Attempt TO Rob n Bank In n Ten
rnessee village.

Sevierville, Tenn, Oct. 14.-An at
tempt by three masked men to rob the
Sevierville bank yesterday resulted
disastrously for all of them. William
Derrick was killed, William Thurmer
fatally wounded and Carl Derrick
slightly wounded.
About noon the citizens of this
mountain village were startled by the
repeated crack of rifles near the court
house square. Three masked men
armed with Winchesters and braces of
heavy pistols were firing into the open
door of the Seyierville bank. The vol
ley came more as a signal than as u
surprise to the officers of this place,
who had been warned that an attempt
would be made to rob the bank by
three desperadoes. They had secret
cd themselves in n building opposite
the bank and the fire of the outlaws
was promptly answered by II fusll-
lade. Thurmer, the leader of the rob-
bers, dropped to the ground mortally
wounded Cal Derrick fell seriously
wounded. The third man, William
Derrick, fed.
For amile and half he ran in front
of fierce fire from the pursuing Off
GERS. He entered the open door of a
barn and his place of refuge was
quickly surrounded. Realizing that
the odds were against him he stepped
out in plain view of all, saluted the
sheriff and crying: Goodbye, boys"
placed his pistol to his head and blew
out his brains.
Thurmer is an eX-convict who had
been pardoncd while serving a life
sentence for the murder of Knox
vile policeman. Bill Derrick, the
suicide. was Y desperate mountain
character who had just returned from
the west.
Cal Derrick, who was wounded, was
thought to be a respectable, peaceabie
man. He was Knoxville liveryman
and was married.

in the neighborhood of A1iwal North,
on the southern frontier. The Beers
advance patrol goes to the frontier
bridge nightly TO keep watch, firing
shots at intervals as signals. 1t is be-
lieved the enemy intends shortly to
rush the railway station, with the help
of artillery posted on a ridge com
manding the town.
There are rumors that the Beers
have been repulsed at Mafeking and
are attacking Vryburg.
A Cape Town paper has dispatch
from the Orange river, stating that
the telegraph wires have been cut be-
tween Vryburg and Kimberly, and it
is believed the Beers are taking adj
vantage of the presence of n large
gathering of disloyal farmers at Vry-
burg to attack the town, hoping that
the farmers will assist them against
the British. The same dispatch says
the British force at Kimberly is con-
fident of its ability to hold out, but
urges the immediate despatch of re-
lief force.
Many residents of Cape Town have
relatives in Vryburg and they are
furious with Messrs, Merriman and
Sauer, respectively colonial treasurer
and commissioner of public works,
and the ministers are mobbed when
ever they appear in public. Mr.. Hof-
meyer, the Afrillander leader, has
gone to the country in order to escape
the outbursts of Indignation.
London, Oct. 1S.-Both houses of
parliament assembled yesterday. The
queens speech was read. In the house
of commons several speeches were
made by leaders of the conservative
and liberal parties urging that the gov
ernment be supported in its policy re-
garding the trouble with the South
African republic. John Dillon, the
Irish nationalist, moved an amend
ment to the address to the queen in
which amendment the statement was
made that the war was unrighteous.
/ The amendment also asked that the
dispute with Transvaal be submitted
to arbitration.
a division was taken on Mr.. Dillon's
amendment. which was rejected by a
vote of 800 to "a. The minority con-
| sisted mainly of Irish members and a
! few radicals.
A dispatch from Pretoria says the
Boers have destroyed the Bechuana-
land railway from Lobatsi to Asvogel

A dispatch from Pretoria, dated the
14th, by way of Delagoa Bay, says: A
dispatch was received from Ottoshoep,
near Malmani, asserting that heavy
fighting had been in progress all of
Saturday, north of MafeRing. The
British troops on board an armored
train acted as covering force to mill
tary engineers engaged in repairing
the track A Maxim on the train kept
up a continuous fire. Conspicuous
bravery was displayed on both sides,
but it soon became apparent that the
rifles of the burghers were ineffective
against an armored train. The latter,
however, was once forced to retreat
before particularly strong assault, but
it soon returned, accompanied by a
British mounted contingent, and the
fighting was renewed fiercely. Fight

Heavy firing can be heard south of Ma.

third floor. Another person reported
as missing was Laura Ihrall, Is years

ever, said she had reached the street
in safety.
Great excitement followed the dis
covery OF the fire and the hundreds of
employees, most OF them young girls,
fought their way down the narrow
steps from the upper floors. Many of
them escaped by climbing down the
fire escapes and We're prevented from
jumping by policemen who urged
them to hold on until the fire apparat-
raised and one by one the frightened
girls were helped to the street. On
the steps they came together in Il
crush and several of them were thrown
down and trampled upon.
The building, which was six stories

Senatorial Election muddIe.

Columbus, Oct. 14.-The raising of
the question of the legality of the
state senatorial nominations not GER
tilted yesterday may lead to compli-
cations. The law says that all dis
trict nominations shall be certified
25 days before election. In Hamil-
ton county no provision has been
made by either the democrats or re-
publicnns for the nomination of SEN
ators before next Tuesday. The dem
ocrats of the Eleventh senatorial dis
trict, composed of Champaign, Clark
and Madison counties, had called con-
vention for October 16, but held it yes
terday, to get within the law. There
is one legal way out of the complica-
ton. The names of candidates may
be written on the ballot by voters, but
it is believed that voters would over
look this.

Washington Police Claim that Man
who Disappeared was Held Prisoner
in n Gnrret,
Washington, Oct. 16.-Adelbert Cox,
for several years prior to October 1
member of the Washington police
force, and Eta Williams, young wo-
man with whom he lived, were arrest
ed Saturday by Detectives Miller and
Peck, charged with the larceny of
500 from James A. Stewart, 55 years
old and for n long time a clerk in the
general land office.
Back of this formal charge, accord
lng to the police is remarkable story.
Stewart disappeared from his board
ing house September and for four
weeks an unavailing search was made
for him. He was finally found in
the attic of the house where Cox and
the Williams woman lived in n state
of collapse and almost demented from
the effects of drugs which it is alleged
had been administered to him by the
pair under arrest. Stewart was taken
to the hospital and though at first his
life hung by a thread he recovered in
about ten days. He is widower
with married daughter living in An
napolis, Md, and roomed alone in
Washington.
He left his rooming place September
6 to make a call and for weeks no
trace of him could be found. Final
ly the police gained a clue by
learning that he had 1875 on deposit
with the Washington Loan and Trust
Co. All this amount save $40 they
ascertained, had been drawn out on
checks payable to bearer, signed by
Stewart and endorsed by Adelbert w.
Cox. The first checks were clearly
written, but the latter ones were in a
weak and almost illegible hand. Cox
had explained this at the trust COM
pany's office by saying the old man
was rapidly failing in health. With
this clue the detectives found Stewart
in the garret of a house where Cox
lived. He had had hardly any food
for a month. He said he had called
| September on Cox and the Williams
woman, who formerly boarded where
he did. They sent out for some liquor
and after that he remembered things
only in vague way. On his state
ment the police arrested Cox and his
paramour on charge of larceny
pending investigation and coasidera-
ton of the making of more serious
cbnr-e. Both prisoners secured bail
Co.. was compelled to resign from
the police force a short time ago be.
cause or his relations with the VIII.
liams woman and a suit for divorce
brought by his wife. He denies hav.
ing held Stewart a prisoner. Cox says
that Stewart went to Atlantic City in
September with two women and about
5000 in cash and when he returned he
said he had been robbed and beaten al
the sea shore. At Stewards request
he was permitted to use a room in the
house where he (CoX) lived and wal
cared for by Miss Williams. Stewart
Cox says, appeared to be afraid hi,
whereabouts would be ascertained by
relatives. Cox says that all the money
drawn from the bank in Stewart
name was given to him.

slaughter house, the center of un un-

point commanding the native quarter.
Three native policemen have been
