Dr. j. f. Berringer, a prominent
physician of Watervleet, was arrested
on the 10th and taken to the county
Jail at st. Joseph. He is charged with
attempting To murder his wife. When
the news of the attempted murder be-
came known, the people became much
excited. There was talk of lynching
Berringer, and the authorities hurried
him off to the county Jail under n
strong guard. The two daughters
were awakened by screams for help
from their mothers lips, and ran to
her assistance, only to find their
father pounding her over the head and
in the face with an iron pestle. They
sprang upon the Infatuated man and a
fierce struggle ensued for possession of
the weapon, and the girls finally came
out victorious. Family troubles are at
the bottom of the murderous attempt
upon Mrs. Bcrringer's life. These
same troubles led to an attempt "A few
days ago on the part of Miss Eva Ber-
ringer to commit suicide by taking
poison. Although not fully recovered
from the effects of the poison she

ports are conflicting, but it is known
that an appalling disaster has befallen
the city of Galveston. where. il is re.
ported, a thousand or more lives have
been blottcd out and a tremendous
property damage incurred. Meagcr

CHINA WAR NEWS.

The latest expression as to the atti-
tude of the powers on the execution of
PelSin comes from the United States
ambassador at Paris, Gen. Horace
Porter, who has advised the authorities
at Washington that the attitude of the
French government is favorable TO the
position taken by Russia. Almost
simultaneously with this dispatch from
Gen. Porter came another from the
American charge d'affaircs at Berlin,
giving the attitude of Germany on Rus
sia's proposal. This in substance states
that Germany, while anxious TO avoid
any friction between the powers, re-
CARDS the conditions at PclIin such as
to require the continued presence of
German forces there. Neither Gen.
Porter nor Mr.. jackson give the text
of the answers, but only the substance
of the positions taken by the two gov
ernments.
According to information received
from reliable source, only the L. $.
government has as yet answered the
proposals of Russia. An exchange of
ideas between the powers is in progress.
The various governments have tele-
graphed their representatives in Pekin,
asking an opinion regarding the with
drawal of the troops and what the mil
itary situation would be resulting from
the decision of Russia.
A very interesting dispatch was re-
ceived at the war department on the
4th from Gen. Chaffee. 1t described
the military situation rs emincntly
satisfactory, and would have been of
greater value, but for the omission
common to all of the other official dis
patches from China, namely, the date
line. In his opinion the present u. S.
force in China is ample to cope with
the situation.
News has been received of the kill
ing Of several American women mis-
sionaries by the Chinese. The women
were first subjected to horrible indig-
nitics-thcy were led about the coun-
try naked, repeatedly abused, and lin
ally killed by n method too revolving
to be described.

allies in China is declared TO Dc past
Responses to Russia's proposals have
been received which, while not def.
nitcly settling the future course Of the
powers, makes it certain that what
ever action may be taken viii bc har-
monious.
