HAGERSTOWN. Md. Aug. 25--samuel
Laney, who lives in BIair's Valley, three
miles north of Clear Spring. Washington
county, attempted to commit suicide yes
terday morning between and o'clock
by cutting his throat with a razor. He
nearly bled to death before his condition
was discovered. Laney has been making
his home in the family of Edward Repp, a
prosperous young farmer. For some time
he had been i'll and frequently said he
wished he was dead.
About $50 O'Clock Yesterday morning
Mr.. Repp went to Laney s room and was
shocked to find him lying across the bed
unconscious, with blood gushing from a
great wound across his throat. The bed
clothes and carpets were saturated. A ra-
zor, the blade of which was covered with
cIotted blood. lay on a table alongside the
bed showing how the deed was done.
DR.. John Perry. OF Clear Spring, was
summoned. He found the patient in Sc
rious condition from loss of blood and has
but very slight hope OF recovery When
asked why he cut his throat Laney at first
said he could not tell, but afterward
stated that his continued ill-hsaltn had
prompted him to end his life. Laney is
about seventy years old. He is a Union
veteran of the civil war.

NEW SOUTH WALES oUrRAGEs.
Native Blacks Commit Number Of
AtrOciCus MURDERS.

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. 25.-Australian
papers which arrived today give details
of the atrocfous murder of five persons by
several native blacks near Brolong, New
South Wales. and of three other murders
which they committed while escaping
across country to Queensland.
Two blacks. who had been engaged in
clearing land Tor The Mawbry family near
BroIcng on the right of July u, appeared
at the Mawbry farm house when all the
men were away and began an attack on
Mrs Mawbry and her children with two
tomahawks an native clubs They beat
in the door cnd savageIy attacked the
women. Mrs Mawbry was fatally beaten,
Miss Kerr, a school teacher, was killed,
and Miss Elsie CIaki and Grace Mawbry
were mortaily injured. Percy Mawbry,
aged thirteen. was killed, his body being
horribly mutilated. Only one little eight
year-oId boy escaped

arrived after being warned by the fright
ened boy. Percy Mawbry's head was near
ly severed from his body by a tomahawk
and Miss Kerz's body presented a hideous
spectacle. She and Grace Mawbry evil
IDENTIFY escaped from the house, but were
overtaken as they ran across the fields
The motive OF the crime was anger on
the part of Jack Governor, because the
Mawbrys would not recognize white wo-
man whom he had married. After the
murders. the blacks started across the
country. They murdered an old woman
and boy whom they caught in a solitary
place and also an old man and they seized
arms and provisions from several places
Jack Governor was captured but the 9TH
ers are still at large, though the whole
country side has turaes. out to hunt them
These crimes have created great alarm as
the natives have been peaceful for years.

LARGE GROWTH OF TRADE.
Exports In Jaly the Greatest in the
COuntry,s History.


America exported merchandise in July,
valued at s100, al 40, the largest July ex
ports in history. The imports for the
month We're $63, 659, 451, also one of the
largest July records. Detailed statisticg OF
the foreign trade of the country have just
been completed by the Bureau of Statistics
and are now made public. Treasury Off
Gals and business men generally consider
the record an excellent one
II is shown that the imports were thus
divided: Articles of food and live animals,
f7,7O7,320 as compared with ST. 1872 in
July 1899; articles in crude condition for
manufacture, 81. S39, 1852 in 1900, against
s17,503, 742 in 1899; manufactures for use
in the mechanic arts, S6.7GO,44 in 1900,
against S6,547.611 in 1899; articles manu-
featured ready for consumption, 81, 125,-
100 in 1860, compared with 50. 72S, 1870 in the
same month of 1899; Injuries, $40, 2s4, 735,
In July, 1900, against s8,475,S79 in July,
1899; total. $50. 659. 451. compared with $780,,
101.744 in July, of last year
1t will he seen that in nearly all these
classes the figures have remained almost
stationary. There have been no greater
importations Of foods or of crude mate
rials for manufacture. The most signif-
cant increase in the list is that OF luxu-
ries. OF which the country imported nearly
81, 900, coo more in this month, or gain of
more than 20 per cent.
The exports for the month were as fol-
lows. the first figures being those for
July, 1899, and the second those for July,
1900:
Products Of agriculture. $54 .710, 662. s54,-
$40; products of manufacture, $29,932,-
034, $34 ,545 042; products of mining, So
234.985. SO 53S. 6S1; products Of the forest,
81, 772, 645, s. 1856, PCS; products of the fish
cries. $2z4, 647, 1852. 936; miscellaneous,
sG5770, $SS.121; total domestic imports,
$92, $50. 743, SIS, 55T. 932; foreign goods re-
exported, 81, S85, 427, $1,S89, $685. total ex-
ports, $94 926, 10, $100, AL, 40.
As has been expected generally by the
business world the exports OF manufac-
lures for the month have continued enoT-
nous. They show a large excess over the
preceding July, and are in fact the chief
factor in the increase of exports for the
month. The products of agriculture"
show an increase Tor the month.

girl into custody and stands sponsor for
her appearance for hearing before Mag

Twelve years ago Mitorni emigrated
from Warsaw Poland, to America, set
trade of shoemaker. By working diIigent-
ly and being economical in his living, ne
saved UP several thousand dollars.
When he left home he also left behind
him Varlia Derlenski sweetheart, whom
ne promised that when he had earned a
fortune in the new land across the sea he
would return and make his wife. Core
spondence was kept up between the two
lovers during the twelve years Last
spring MitoTni returned to Warsaw to
make Earlia his bride. He furnished $3.50
in cash. and Varlia was fitted orl with a
complete wedding trousseau, including a
gold ring, earrings, and breastpin.
When the marriage license had been
procured. the day set for the wedding and
the priest engaged to officate at the cere-
monies Varlia and her mother came to
the conclusion that it would be better to
have the wedding in America Mitorni
agreed to this. and the next ship brought

ing quarters for his intended bride and

Whether Mitorni made false represen-

nj believes he has been Tilted, made the
butt of his companions, and feels deeply
and financially aggrieved over the out
