GALICIANS COMING.

Large Number Of Undesirable Immigrants
Stated to Be Headed This Way.
NEW YORK, May ia dispatch
from Hamburg has been received here
announcing that 50, 600 Galicians are on
their way or preparing to come to this
country.
The steerage quarters on the German
American lines next week are crowded
with the immigrants who are leaving
home in consequence of oppression and
famine. The Patricia, which sailed
from Hamburg Sunday, had $500 and
the Graf Waldersee, which sails next
Sunday, will have as many more. The
Hamburg American steamship Brazilia,
which arrived at Halifax, N. s., Tues
day morning had 1,4OO, Galicians bound
for places in Canada.
Commissioner Fitchie thinks that the
figures mentioned in the dispatch must
be wrong, as he does not believe that
the Austro- Hungarian government
would permit SO large number to emf
CRATE at one time. 1t was pointed out
that the immigration of $4,000 people
would mean about one-tenth of the pop
ulation OF Galicia going away, and
would go long way toward depopulat-
ing the province.
Chief Clerk Lederhilger, an expert on
immigration, said it was enough to
make one faint, if true, and no matter
how small the number might be, that
any were coming was to be regretted,
as they are most undesirable class.
There are five ships on the sea with
1000 Poles all told, and the Amsterdam,
which arrived Tuesday, had several
hundred. Nearly 1000 Italians arrived
Tuesday on the Tartar Prince and the
Massilia had as many more.

FELL THREE THOUSAND FEET,
Into a Lake Where the Water was
Ninety Feet Deep
FRANK REYNOLDS, A NOVICE,

BALLOON Observation-Disclosures
THE WATER AND SANK LIKE A
STONE-BoDY NOT RECOVERED.

CORY, Pa, July 31.-Frank Rey-
nolds, OF Ripley, Chautauqua county,
fell 5000 feet TO his death to-day. The
Findlays Lake Assembly opened at
Findlay Lake, fifteen miles from this
city. Reynolds has been engaged by
the assembly authorities to make
balloon ascension and parachute jump.
Reynolds. who was % years of age. and
had a wife and child, is said to have
been inexperienced. He had made but
one ascension before to-day, and had
never dropped with a parachute. Prep
arations were made, and at f.: 20 this
afternoon Reynolds stripped for the
jump and appeared ready to ascend.
The wind was blowing in strong from
the Lake Erie. eight miles northwest.
The assembly grounds Nare on the
northwest short OF the little lake. 1t
promised to be a dangerous drop for a
seasoned veteran, but Reynolds, the
novice, never faltered An immense
crowd was present. When the balloon
had reached a height which appeared
to be fully. 3. 200 feet in the air, and d.
rectly over Findlay Lake, 1t was seen
that the unfortunate young man had
dropped with the parachute. The aero
naut's young wife shouted that Reyn-
olds could not swim. and would drown.
Boats were quickly put out. Reynolds
struck the water where the lake is 90
feet deep. He threw up his hands and
sank like a stone. The nearest boat
was yet 200 feet off. The lake is being
dragged tonight, but up to late hour
no trace of the body had been secured.

FORTUNATE CHANGE
In the Course of the stream of Lava Flow

the volcano of Mauna Loa recei red 70
day by the way of Kaliehais to the eff
feet that great change took place III
the course of the lava flow on the night
Of July IS. The mighty stream OF
burning lava which was steadily flow
ing toward the town Of Hilo and threat
ening its destruction, has fortunately
been diverted in its course so that the
danger to life and property is less i'm
minent that at the time Of the previous

flow began, July 4, the course of the
the highest active cones down the
mountain nearly due east, past all the
sources of lava, until it reached and
partly crossed the flow Of $780, Then
it turned abruptly to the north in the
direction of Kalieha on the side Of
Muna Loa. 1t spread all over the side
Of the mountain, occupying an area
almost mile wide. This was the con-
dition Of things up to the night OF July
IS. Some time during that night the
first part Of the stream, flowing east
ward. broke through its bank about
half way from its source to where It
turned northward and formed a new
channel running norrhward down the
mountain parallel with the old channel
but farther west. This is carrying the
lava less directly towards Hllo and
keeping it nearer the ridge which d.
vides it from the slope of in the di-
rection of the Kohsa coast.

AMHERST, Mass, July 31.-Eugene
Pakahpuer, graduate from the Indian
school at Carlisle, Pa. shot and killed
Edith Morrell, aged II years, at the
home of Mrs. ]. F. Morrell. in South
Amherst, early this evening. The In
dian had been employed on the farm
for about a year, and during that
time he had paid much attention to the
girl The murder, without doubt, was
the result of Miss Morrells refusal of
his attentions.
1t is evident that PakahDuer went
into the cellar of the Morrell house
and met Edith at the refrigerator. 1t
is not known what was said between
them, but the Indian finally discharged
the revolver twice. one bullet going
through the girls neck and the other
into the brain. The Indian then went
up stairs and told Mrs. Morrell that
he had shot Edith and he was going TO
set the building on fire and then shoot
himself. He went into the barn and
a few minutes later flames broke out
there and the fire which followed de-
stroyed the house, barn and outbuild-
ings.
After the Indian informed Mrs. Nor
rell of what he had done she went
down stairs and found Edith on the
floor. In her fright she ran to neigh
boris house and got the assistance of
two men, who removed the girl TO a
nearby building, where she died in a
few minutes.
Up to late hour tonight no trace
had been found of the Indian The
police think he is hiding in the woods
and they have begun a search for him.
