Natick, Mass, Dec. 25.-Lewis
Perry, aged 49,, Spanish war veteran.3
was shot and killed today by Miss
Lizzie Morse, at her home in West
iNatick. -Four shots wero fred, two Of
them taking effect, one in the heart.
Miss Morse, who was placed under ar
rest, says that the circumstances justi-
fed her in shooting Perry. The Morse
family is one of the wealthiest and
best known in town. Miss Morse and
the members of her family claim that
Perry and Arnold Slappen, ON bicycles,
rode up to the Morse house, demanded
sadmittance without stating their busi-
ness, and, upon being refused, smashed
several windows. Miss Morse went to
the bureau drawer and loaded a 22-cal-
iber revolver. She claims that the
men went around to the front of the
house, where Perry finished smashing
the glass in one of the windows, and
climbed in, in spite of her renaon-
strances. After gaining an entrance,
he grabbed Miss Elreta Morse and
wrenched from her croquet mallet,
with which she tried to protect hersel'
Lizzie rushed to her sisters ASST
nee and informed Perry that she
:ould shoot him if he did not leave
she house. He gave her terrific blow
with the mallet and felled her to the
floor. She managed to get up again,
and told Perry to get out of the house.
when he dared her to shoot. She then
fired four shots at Perry, who managed
to climb through the window and then
fell dead.

Rome, Dec. 25.-A terrible disaster
took place this afternoon at Amalfi, the
popular tourist resort on the Gulf of
Salerno. About 2 O'Clock an enor-
nous rock, upon which stood the Cap
puccini hotel, slid bodily into the sea
with deafening roar and without o
moments warning, carrying with it
the hotel, the old Capuchlan monastery
below; the hotel Sante Calerina and
several villas. Many people were bur-
led in the debris, which crushed four
vessels to the bottom of the sea, des-
troying their crews. The mass of earth
which slipped was about so, 700 cubic
yards.
The population is in state of terror,
fearing fresh calamities. Troops have
arrived upon the scene and have begun
rescue work. 1t is believed that the
loss of life is heavy, including num-
ber of monks and the occupants of the
hotel. AS yet is is impossible to as
certain the exact number.
Amalf is small, but lively town of
1000 inhabitants. situated at the en-
trance of deep ravine, surrounded by
imposing mountains, and rocks of the
most picturesque forms. The Capuch-
ian monastery was founded in 1912 by
Cardinal Pietro Capuano, for the Cis-
terians, but came into possession of the
Capuchians in 1858. The building.
which stood in the hollow of a rock
that rose abruptly from the sea to q
height of $50 feet, contained fine clois-

Ended in a Free Fight.

Paris, Dec. 25.-A pro-Boer demon
stration, convened this evening at the
Tivoh Vauxhall by the executive COM
mittee of the Jeuness Royaliste, ended
in riot. The socialists entered in
force and broke up the meeting, amid
indescribable uproar and shouts of
'Vive La social revolution" and "a
bas Deroulede," with counter cries of
"Vive Deroulede" and "Vive l'armee. "
Several nationalists who were present
endeavored to speak, but they were
quite inaudible. A free fight ensued,
and the proprietor of the hall turned
off the gas. The combatants then
lighted newspapers and continued th'
fight, smashing the fittings of the hal.
and using them as weapons. Finally
the police cleared the room, but they
were compelled to charge several times
before order was re-established.

co1lided with a MIX Train

New York, Dec. 25.-A wreck on
the New Jersey Central railroad at
Highbridge, N. j., late last night re-
suited in one death and the injury of
five persons.
Christopher v. Hutsider, a grocer,
was killed, and Peter Eick, Miss Ella
Maxwell and Baggageman Frank
Grant were injured. A coal train was
descending the step grade, when the
engineer noticed signal from milk
train which was at the station. The
engineer of the coal train applied the
brakes, and detached his engine from
the train and approached the milk
train to find the cause of the delay and
receive orders. The coal cars were not
held by air brakes and came rushing
down the grade, striking the engine,
pushing it into the combination car of
the rear of the milk train. None of
the injured are seriously hurt. a.

Minneapolis. Mimi, Dec. 25.-A
special to the Times from Butte, Mont,
says: Alexander Tarbet, Salt Lake
mining man, today closed deal with
the owners of the mineral rights to the
Destroying Angel and Copper Bottom
Lodge claims, by which he secured
control of the interest for $500, 900.
The veins run through the business
portion of the city, and the Destroying
Angel was uncovered recently by per-
sons who were excavating for the foun-
dation of hotel. 1t has developed
into the richest copper vein in this dis
trict, and the new owners intend to
tunnel under the city. AS soon as the
deal was closed this afternoon, they
started to sink shaft, which will be
put down 1000 feet at the corner of
Broadway and Arizona streets, within
a half block of the two principal hotels
and the city hall,

THE WORST AND THE BEST.
Wall Street Suffered. But General Busi-
ness Was Good.

R. 6. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of
trade says: The worst day in Wall
street in many years was in part the
legitimate result of the best year in
business ever known. Because the
country had prospered so greatly and
SO expanded it's business that it could
no longer afford to have many millions
locked up in carrying stocks represent
ing imaginary values, the question
was not one of monetary supply. When
the country found ample use for it's
capital in regular trade and productive
industry, contraction of loans became
necessary, which would have been
more painful if the volume of stocks
had been larger.
The business of the country close to
the holidays is necessarily smaller than
it has been, and yet larger than at the
same date in any other year. Ex-
changes through principal clearing
houses for the week have been 1877
larger than last year, and 50.4 per cent
larger than in 1892, including 32.1 per
cent gain in payments outside New
York. There was not even suspicion
of unsoundness in any considerable
branch of industry or trade, the ex-
traordinary expansion in some being as
well warranted as the material gain
in others.
Cotton suffered in speculation for a
day with stocks, but the great decrease
in receipts from farms since September
over 100000 bales-gives strong
support to prices, as does the increase
of 400, 900 bales in takings by spinners.
Wheat has fallen both in foreign de-
mand and In prices, in spite of still
larger loss in Western receipts, for the
week only 3,SO6, ,286 bushels, against
7,340, ITO bushels last year.
Failures for the week have been 220
in the United States, against 258 last
year, and 26 in Canada, against 81 last
year.

DEAD OF THE MAINE.
Ba ttieship Texas Arrives at Newpol
News With Remains.

News With Remains.
Newport, News, Va, Dec. 27.-The
battleship Texas, in command of Cap
tain Sigsbee, arrived here shortly be-
fore noon today, with the remains of
the men who lost their lives by the de-
struction of the battleship Maine in
Havana harbor. The bodies of the
Maine heroes will be transferred to q
Chesapeake & Ohio train tomorrow at
IL O'Clock, and will be taken to.Wash-
ington for interment IN Arlington ceme-
terry Thursday.
The Texas left Havana last Thurs
day. She encountered gale off Hat
teras, but had good weather until she
reached that point. She anchored in
Lynnhaven bay last night, and came
up to Old Point this morning. After
the quarantine regulations had been
complied with she came to this city.
Chaplain Chadwick, who was chap
lain Of the Maine, is in charge of the
Maine's dead heroes, and will accom-
pany them to Washington. No more
than score of the bodies of the Texas
were identified. The names of those
are inscribed on the coffins, which en-
close their mortal remains.
There were no ceremonies here today
in honor of the arrival of the Names
dead, but impressive exercises will
take place tomorrow when the bodies
are transferred f1om the ship to the

Washington, Dec. 25.-Among the
familiar bills Of the last congress to re-
appear this year are two that were In
troduced by Representative Tongue, of
Oregon One is his bill for creating
q public park, including Crater Lake,
and nuch of the surrounding cuuutry,
and the other is his bill providing for
the examination and classification of
the lands in the Roseburg and Oregon
City land districts within the grant
made to the Oregon & California Rail-
road Company. Both bills are prac-
tically the same as were presented in
the last congress.
The Crater lake bill proposes to set
aside tract of 249 square miles, with
out drawing it from settlement or sale
and making it public park or pleas
ure ground, to be known as the Crater
Lake National Park. This park, if es-
talbished, is to be under the control of
the secretary of the interior, who will
preserve the lands in their natural con-
dition and prevent all residence, min
ing, numbering or other business opera
tions within its limits. The old pro-
vision for restaurants and waiting
rooms is again inserted, as are the pro-
visions for governing and protecting
the park. 1t is proposed that the costs
and expenses of creating the park shall
be borne by the general government.
1t was this last provision that aroused
Speaker Reed against the bill last con-
gress, for he contended that any ex-
pense attached should be borne by the
state. Now that Reed is out of con-
-ress, the bill may have better chance
becoming a law.

New York, Dec. 27.-A special to

Pension attorneys are pilling .uI
cases against the government as re-
suit of the war with Spain. Already
$4,000 applications have been filed on
behalf of the soldiers of the recent war
AS an illustration of the thoroughness
with which the regiments have been
canvassed, it is said that from the
Seventy first New York regiment more
than 800 applications have been OBJ
tanned. OF the Ninth Massachusetts,
there are 600 applications.
The business of getting new pensions
has been systematized. The number
Of cases filed in the name of soldiers
who have served in the Philippines has
become SO numerous as to attract off,
cials attention.
