WAR SCARE IN ENGLAND.
HostiIIties Thought to BE Inevitable
Between, British and French
Both Are Preparing.

New York, Aug. 27.-A dispatch to
the Journal and Advertiser from Lon
don says: THAT the French govern
ment is preparing for war there can
no longer be any doubt" The Pail Mall
Gazette makes this statement editor
tally. 1t does but put in concrete form
what newspapers in all parts of Eng
land have been saying in a yelled way
for three days.
A remarkable wal scare has spread
through England. No particular incl
Dent of Importance started it, but doz-
ems Of little suspicious indications are
adding to the size of the scare daily.
There is absolutely no reason for war
between France and England save the
implacable hatred Of every class of
each nation for each other. The Pari-
sian newspapers continually ridicule
the English in articles and cartoons,
and the London papers reply ponder
ously with assaults on the instability
Of the French government and the fail
ure of the exhibition.

AGED COUPLE MURDERED.
I'm Their Home and All Their
Money stolen,

Freeport, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-Mr. and Mrs.
John Bobb, an aged couple living
alone on q farm ~ miles north of this
city, were murdered Friday night and
all the money there was in the house,
about 800, which the aged couple had
saved up for their funeral expenses,
was stolen. When John Wagner, a
neighbor residing so rods from the
Bobb home, went over at noon Sat
urday to look after the aged couple,
as was his daily custom, he discov-
cred the terrible crime. A tramp
about 25 years old, wearing a black
suit of clothes and a black hat, had
been loafng around the neighborhood
for a week, and the bloody clothing
found vas recognized by neighbors as
the clothing worn by the tramp. Mr..
Bobb was 90 years old and his wife
was 81. Both were in feeble health.
They had lived in that vicinity for
81 years, and were among the pioneer
settlers of Stephenson county. They
reared a family of II children, but
none of them resided at home.

government has expressed its readi-
ness to interchange opinions with the
powers regarding more stringent
measures against anarchists. The
Hungarian government has ordered a

commanders of the various troops it
was decided to apportion certain parts
Of the city to each nation for police

no official advices to this effect, yet
it Is so in accordance with the ex-
p~ectation Of China's course that the

pie time for Ii Hung Chang to formu-
late his next move. In the circum-

American and German and
such others as may have reached him,
as negativing any present prospect
of negotiations along the lines he
proposed.

QUIET AT AKRON.
But Gov. Nash Fears More Trouble
Will Keep Troop There
for Awhile.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 27.-Gov. Nash
fears there may be more rioting at
Akron. For that reason troops will be
held for awhile at least. This decision
was reached Saturday at a conference
here between the governor and Assist
ant Adjt. Gen. Adams. Gov. Nash said
he would keep the troops on duty un-
til he was absolutely satisfied that the
lawless element would make no further
trouble.
Speaking concerning the punish.
ment OF the rioters the governor said
the state officials will take no hand in
the prosecution.
From what I learn,," said the
governor, "the civil authorities there
are capable of taking care of the law
breakers, and, unless they should ex-
press to me their inability, the state
will take no part in the matter. The
local authorities are gathering evil
dence against those persons who were
guilty of the rioting which eliminated
in the deaths of innocent persons and
the destruction of property"
