The evolution of the .'hobo' burglar

IN declaring that the genteel house
breaker Of q decade ago has given

They declare that the moral faculties
Of the hobo" burglar are SO badly out

Terrible Fate Of an Aeronaut 1t Ottawa
Beach, Mich. ,....-
OTTAWA BEACH Mich, Aug: g.
Johnnie Dew, an aeronant OF Grand
Rapids, met a terrible fate while giving
an exhibition here. His balloon had
reached height of nearly half mile
when the performer began his descent.
His parachute did not open for . few
seconds and when it did spread he had
gained such momentum that the sud-
den resistance gave him a violent jerk.
He slipped from the trapeze, and, hay
ing no life line, was dashed to death in
the lake below. There was but one
foot Of water where Dew landed and
every bone in his body was broken by
the fall. Dew was but 10 years old.

DEATH AND DESoLATION.
Houses, Barns, Crops and Orchards
Destroyed Along the Columbia
Tap Railroad.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 1O.-A train
came in on the Columbia Tap rail
road Sunday afternoon and its crew
tell a story of death and desolation
in the country through which they
passed. Conductor Ferguson states
that houses, barns, crops and or
chards have been destroyed and great
damage has been done. A. L. Forbes,
postal clerk, reported that at Oyster
creek the train crew and passengers
heard cries coming out of a mass of
debris. Several persons answered the
cries and found Negro woman fast
ened under a roof. They pulled her
out and she informed her rescuers
that there were others under the roof.
A further search resulted in the find
ing of nine dead bodies, all colored
persons. When the train arrived at
Angleton, the Jail, all the churches
and a number of houses had been
blown down. Three fatalities are
known to have occurred at Angleton
but the train stopped there only a
few minutes and the number of killed
or their names could not be learned.
Many persons killed
At ArcOla a family named Wofford
had gathered in the second story of
their house. The upper portion of
the house was blown away, and Mr..
Wofford's mother was instantly kill
ed. The hurricane was particularly
severe at BrookshiFe, 81 miles west of
Houston, on the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad. Four dead bodies
have been taken from the debris of
wrecked houses, and it is believed
that others have been killed. 1t is re-
ported that only four houses are left
standing in Brookshire, which had a
population of 600 people.
Later reports received from Alvin
state that many persons were killed
there. Eleven bodies have been re-
covered.

THE POLAR EXPEDITION.
Tho Stella POIare Reached as Far
North as S2.4, But Found No
WinterinR Harbor.

Christiania, Sept. s.--Further de-
tails regarding the Arctic expedition
of the duke of Abruzzi, on board the
Stella Polare, whose return was re-
ported Thursday from Tromsoe, Nor
way, show that the expedition last
year through Nightingale sound and
the British canal reached as far
north as S2.4, but, finding no winter
ing harbor, it returned to Teplitz
bay. Crown Prince Rudolphsland,
where the Stella Polare was frozen in
about September 1.
The duke of Abruzzi's fingers were
frostbitten on a trial sledge trip at
Christmas, and two joints were am
putated, Obliging him to remain for
several months in his tent. The cold
increased to SO degrees Celsius. On
March IL the advance was renewed,
and ten men started north. After
ten days marching three started to
return to the ship, which, however,
they never reached. Their fate is I'M
known. A second party of three men
passed the SD parallel after a march
of 20 days, and then returned to the
ship. a third party, led by Capt.
Cagni, with two Alpine guides and an
Italian sailor, reached latitude 1898,
and was then obliged to return
through lack of food. 1t started
with six sledges and As dogs, and re-
turned with two sledges and seven
dogs, having subsisted for II days
exclusively on dOgfesh.
On August s the Stella Polare
started homeward. She traversed the
British canal in a single day, and
then drifted about for a fortnight in
a severe struggle with drift ice be-
fore reaching the open sea.

THE STRIKE POSTPONED.
Are About to Make Concessions
of Some Kind to the Miners.

ShamOkin, Pa, Sept. 1O.-Fourteen
thousand miners between here and
Nj. Carmel Sunday morning received
from George HARLEM, secretary of
district No. 9, United Mine Workers
of America, the news from President
Mitchell that a pOstpOnement of the
strike had been ordered. Most of the
men feel that the operators are about
to make a concession of some kind,
and they are eagerly awaiting fur
ther news from indianapolis. In case
no concessions are granted within
two or three days, the men as a whole
expect President Mitchell to order
the strike.
Secretary Hartlein gave out the fol-
lowing statement Sunday night rela-
tive to the miners observing President
Mitchell's orders for a postponement
OF the strike:
although the miners in a great
sense were disappointed, they feel
that their cause is being honestly
handled by the executive board and
that arrangements are being made
between the board and the operators
whereby the strike will be averted.
Otherwise, if the operators make no
concessions, there is no alternative
but to strike"

Japanese Cavalry Escort Prince
Ching to the Chinese Capital.
No New Developments in the Chi
nese Situation at Washington
No News Received From Gen.
Chahee at War Department.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Acting Sec
rotary Hill, of the state department,
said Sunday night that there were no
new Developments in the Chinese sit
uation Sunday night. DIR. Hill was at
the state department for a time dur
ing the morning, but no kilograms of
Importance had come during the
night and there was nothing to make
public. The naval officials were also
without any information from the
east during the day, nor were any dis
patches from Gen. Chaffee posted at
the war department. The japanese
legation furnished a news paragraph
of considerable interest and impor-
lance, indicating that the Chinese
imperial family are alive to the ne
cessity of having a duly authenticated
representative at Picking to meet the
foreigners with view 10 the arrange
ment of affairs there. This news is
the return of Prince Ching to Picking
to which place ne was escorted by
company of Japanese several days
ago. Prince Ching is one of the best
known pro-foreigners in China, has
occupied important positions in the
government of that country and his
return by the direction of the en-
peror is to the officials here a good
augury for the opening of negotia-
tions for peace.
Washington, Sept. 1O.-The Japan
csc legation has received the follow
ing telegram from the foreign office
at Toxic:
Gen. Yamaghuchi wired to the fol-
lowing effect:
'Col. Shiba, who was sent with
company of cavalry to Ting-Ho, Sep
tembSr 3, escorted Prince Ching back
to Picking. The princes residence,
being in the district occupied by Jap
anese is guarded by them. Previous
to his arrival the prince commune
Gated to Maj. Gen. Fukushima say
ing that on account of the present
grave situation he had been ordered
by the emperor to return to Picking
and to arrange affairs Immediately.
'The district in possession of Jap
anese is now quiet and in order, and
the Chinese, entertaining no fear,
have resumed their business.
"The railway south of Tang-Sung is
working, but it is unable to say when
communication beyond that place will

Toxic, Sept. 7.-Advices from Pc
king, dated September 1, say that
Emperor Kwang Su was then at Hsu-
en- Hwa Flu, in the province of Chi Ii,
40 miles north of Peking. 1t is also
reported that Gen. Yung L. and his
entire family committed suicide. A
similar report has been received re-
garding Hsu Flu POSSIBLY Emperor

INCREASED POPULATION.
Census Returns TabuIated in "a
Cities Show Gains of 3,494,G G6
People.

Washington, Sept. s.-The census
bureau up to Friday night had tabu-
lated the returns from 81 cities.
These show a population of 1864
I'll. This is an average increase in
population per city of 27.9O percent.
The same cities in 1890 had a poula-
ton of 11,15O,O45, making a total
gain of 3,494,666. The percentage of
increase in 1890 was calculated on
the aggregate gain and not on the
average increase per city as is the
case this year. The result was that
the percentage of gain, according to
the census bureau of this, while ap-
pearing to be larger, namely 31.33,
was not so in fact, owing to the diff
ferent method offered for making
calculation.

COMMUNICATION CUT OFF.
RumOrs of Dire Disaster Are Flying
Thick and Fast, without Being
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Down.

Dallas, Tex, Sept. Photographic
communication with South Texas is
cut off about 100 miles north of Hous-
ton. Up to p. m. Sunday it had been
impossible to obtain reliable news
from Galveston as to the extent of
the hurricane in that section.
Rumors of dire disaster are flying
thick and fast without being in any
way authenticated. All that is known
is that the disaster has occurred, but
its extent is not known. The last
wire the Western Union had to Hous-
ton went down at 1870 Sunday morn
ing. This wire was working so badly
at that hour that whatever informa-
ton Houston had to impart could not
be made out. The storm center is
rapidly approaching Northern Texas,
and its fury wrecks all telegraph lines
in it's path, doing vast damage and
killing people in scattered localities.
SmithviIIe Partially Destroyed.
a cyclone has demolished a part of
the town of Smithville, on the Mis-
souri,, Kansas q Texas railroad. A
number of persons are reported
killed The railroad and telegraph
companies have gangs and wrecking
trains out attempting to work their
way south, but the fierceness of the
storm makes it impossible for them
to gain any Roadway, having to seek
shelter in order to save their lives.
The conditions at Galveston and
Houston are undoubtedly grave.

Havana, Sept. S.-The tobacco
growers have submitted petition to
Gov. Gen. Wood asking the removal

Spain.
Gen. Rodriguez, the mayor, will re-
ceive official notification Saturday
