AN AWFUL CRIME.
Three Tramps Shoot Down Two
Brak emen and Throw Their Bodies
Under the Moving Train.

Marshalltown, Ia, Aug. 23.-Three
tramps stealing a ride on a Chicago &
Great Western freight train that left
here shortly after midnight shot and
killed Brakemen j. Il. Wilson and Con-
ney Matthews and threw their bodies
under the wheels.
The train had proceeded about two
miles from the city when the two brake
men discovered the tramps and ordered
them from the train which was moving
slowly. Instantly the tramps drew re-
volvers and fired. The brakemen fell
wounded, but did not roll from the
train. The tramps threw the wounded
victims under the moving train and
their bodies were terribly mangled.
At Melbourne the conductor missed
the brakemen and a search was made
and the bodies found along the track.
The murderers escaped, but an armed
posse at once started in pursuit.
Wilson lived in Marshalltown and
Matthews in Des Moines. Both were
married

Persons Along the Coast of

SHIPWRECKED SEAMEH ARE IN NORFOLK
with Nothing in the World hut n Few
Tattered and Torn Clothes on
Their Backs They Tell Of the HOr-
rOrs of the Tornado That Started
in the Island Of Porto Rico.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 23.-Thirty
shipwrecked seamen who had nothing
in the world but a few tattered and
torn clothes on their backs, some in
iured, and all mserabl arrived here
Tuesday from Hatteras, y. c. From
them it is learned that the recent hur-
ricane which sent so many people to
death and destroyed vast estates in
Porto Rico, added another chapter to
its horrors in a little stretch of beach
from Kiunakoot to Hatteras, n. c.
Thirty people are known to have lost
their lives in this district, which is
only Is miles long, and the beach is
strewn with spars, masts and other
wreckage. The sailors say II YES
sells are ashore on the coast between
Hatteras and New River inlet. No such
damaging results has attended a storm
on the coast in the past quarter of a
century. Waves ran mountain high and
the wind howled increasingly several
days and nights at 75-miie velocity.
That no more lives were lost in the
vicinity of Hatteras is considered by
the survivors nothing less than a mix
acle.
Among those who arrived were ten of
the crew of the barkentine Priscilla,
Capt. Benjamin II. Springstein, of Bal
tmore. The Priscilla lies broken in
three pieces on Gull shoal, Is miles
north of Cape Hatteras. There were
four fatalities shortly after the Pris-
ella went ashore, the captains wife
being washed overheard and drowned
within ten minutes from the time the
bark struck. The others who lost their
lives were the captains two sons, aged
"a and IL years, a Mr.. Goldenborough,
connected with the Lee family, and a
relative of one of the vessels owners,

Piattsburg, n. y, Aug. 2l.-At the
close of his interview with President
Mckinley Sunday night Gen. Merritt
said:
so far as ] know there will be no imme-
diate change in military commanders III
the Philippine islands. Gen Gus, whoin
regard as one of the most capable ana en-
Gent officers in the service, will continue III
charge of the American forces. ooo
with an efficient force of say 5ooo9
troops believe he will be able to put COW II
the rebellion. Just how much time VIII De
required however. | cannot say. Agulnai-
do and his men have put up much better
fight than thought them capable of al the
outset. but there can be but one outcome 10
the conflict, a complete victory Tor Amer
lean arms.
II can now but repeat what l have salu
time and again. that the Instruction Would
have been broken ere this had 1t not been
for the moral support which Aguinaldo ana
his men have received from the united
States.
''The delay in the ratification OF the peace
treaty, coupled with the impotent opposl-
ton TO the administrators policy IN the
far east Gid more 10 encourage Agulhaluo
and his followers than anything else now
ever, this is an event OF the past ana must
be considered as such.
There remains but one thing to do, that
IS to carry the conflict to successful con-
clusion. This result WILL believe, soon be
accomplished by Gen. Otis and the corps OF
able assistants who have been assigned TO
his command"

WORK OF A MOB.
Paris the Scene of Serious Riots n
Which Many Persons Are N
jured and Churches Wrecked.

Paris, Aug. 21.-Serious riots &C.
Cured here yesterday afternoon. The
trouble originated in an attack made
by anarchists on anti-Semites.
A thousand anarchists under Sc
bastian Faure assembled in the Place
de la Republique and resisted the po-
lice who attempted to dispense them.
The latter fought brayely, but were
finally overpowered.
A police commissary and an in
spector attempted to arrest some RI
oters who were carrying a red flag,
but they were trampled upon and
beaten with bludgeons. A number OF
shots were fired by the mob. The
inspector was mortally injured by the
clubs, and the commissary was hit
by a bullet, receiving serious wound.
Four other policemen were stabbed.
Notwithstanding their defeat, the po-
lice made a number of arrests, among
their prisoners being Faure.
Subsequent TO the rioting in the Place
de Ia Republique the mob marched to
the Rue ST. Maur, where they wrecked
the churches of st. Maur and st. Jo-
seph. A similar disgraceful scene was
enacted at st. Nicholas church. The
mob tried to burn the churches. but
in this dastardly attempt they failed.
The prefecture of police gives the
following statistics of the riots: In
jured, $50; taken to hospitals, 800; po-
lice agents wounded, 81; arrests, $50;
detained in custody, so.

of 105 miles an hour.
