Union Conductor.
CLEVELAND, July s5.-The day has
failed to bring any relief to the street
Car situation, which is regarded as seri-
Gus. The state board OF arbitration has
practically abandoned it's efforts to con-
ciliate the strikers and their former en-
ployers. Small riots occurred during
the day, but with one exception they
were without serious results. In the
death of Henry Cornweit, slain by a
bullet fired by Ralph P. Hawley, con-
ductor on the Broadway line, is re.
corded the first fatality of tho strike.
Shortly after noon Hawley', car ap-
preached Orange street and was beset
by crowd of men and boys. Corn
welt, l9-year-old son of a butcher,
was astride of horse and rode to the
side of the cor, keeping pace with it
for some distance. Various stories are
told as to what passed between the con-
ductor and the boy, but the mob was

the street and started in pursuit of
Cornweit. The latter, closely followed
by his pursuer, turned up Perry street.
At Woodland avenue the latter pulled
his revolver and fired. His victim fell,
fatally shot, with CHASTITY wound in
the left temple. ana died soon after be-
ing removed to the hospital The
crowd, which before the incident had
been SO violent, was awed by the seri-
business of the affair and permitted the
conductor to walk back to his car. He
was arrested and taken to the station
against him. When the car returned in
charge of another man and laden with
pal;ce,,. thousands of people were
crowded round the fatal spot. The track
was blockaded and the stalled cars were
bolnba. I'd with stones and bricks. The
police managed, by using their clubs, to
clear the way, after a delay of half an
hour.
Rioting broke out afresh in the even
ing and a second attempt to wreck a
car was made. A Pearl street car speed

of missiles thrown from the roofs of
houses only to run into a can of nitro
glycerine which exploded with terrific
force. The rear platform was torn off
and the flooring wrenched from its
fastenings. The crew was not injured
but emerged from the shattered ruins
with their pistols drawn and began
firing at what they thought was cou-
pie of men croucliing as if to hide them
selves behind q small building. Troop
A, hurrying on horseback to the scene,
was bonn barded with giant iirecrackers.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 25.-The United
States transport Morgan City, which
has been converted into hospital ship,
has arrived from Manila, having on

The vessel started with 479, but died

First Lieutenant Jackson, First South

Unprecedented Rains Causes Floods
Around Manila.
MANILA, July 24.-1'hc unprecedented
rains of the last week have convinced
observers here that military operations
on large scale OF advances covering
many miles will be impossible for a
long time. Many miles of the country
are flooded to "a depth of three or four
feet. The Paranaque bridge, which was
considered impregnable, has been swept
away, cutting off temporarily the gar
risons of linus and Bacoor from conf
munication with Manila. In the cir
cumstances it will be impossible to
move wagon trains as the trails have
become doubtful. Pack mules will be
utilized if it should become possible for
soldiers to make marches. The officials
will have their hands full for some time
in arranging for the departure Of vol
untaers and in settling the regulars
who are replacing them.

DIED AS HE WISHED.

End OF All Things Earthly Came Sud-
denly for Colonel In.orsoll.
NEW York, July A.-The death Of
Robert q. Ingersoll, which occurred at
his home, Walston.on Hudson, near
Dobbs Ferry, was sudden and unex-
pected and resulted from heart disease,
from which he suffered since 1899. In
that year, during the Republican ma
tional convention, he was taken i'll and
had to return home. He never fully
recovered from the attack of heart dis
ease and was under the care of physi-
clans constantly.
For the last three days Mr.. Ingersoll
had not been feeling we'll, but nothing
serious was anticipated. He spent the
forenoon on the verandah at his home
and at 1890 o'clock he went upstairs.
On reaching the head of the stairs
Colonel Ingersoll turned into his wife's
room.
Death Csme % He Desired It.
He seemed in good spirits then. After
talking for few minutes Colonel In.
gersoll crossed the room and sat down
in rocking chair. He leaned his head
upon his hand which rested on the back
Of the chair. Mrs. Ingersoll asked him
how he was feeling and he replied:
"Oh, better"
These were his last words. A second
after they were uttered he was dead.
The only sign noted by Mrs. 1ngersoll
was that the whites of his eyes sud.
denly showed. There was not even g
sigh or groan as death came. Doctors
were hastily called, but their verdict
was that he had died instantly. Death
came to him as he had recently ex'
pressed desire it should.
