Favors Laws to Force Corporation to
Accept Arbitration.
Cleveland, Ohio, June 15.-Dr. Ly-
man Abbott in an interview here
touching on the st. Louis strike and
similar labor troubles declared that no
municipality ought ever to have re-
linauished the control of the streets
to a private corporation. He added:
Where the city has given the control
Of it's streets to private corporation
It cannot take that control back with
out making compensation. But it can
insist that the corporation shall man
age the highways both IN the interest
Of the public and in justice to its en-
ployes. There should be law giving
to employees OF any city railroad the
right to present their grievance to
disinterested tribunal. The tribunal
should have power to require the cor
porations to accept the decision or
surrender their franchises to those
who would"

Home wrecked by Dynamite.

Chippewa Falls, Wis, June 1.-THE
farmhouse of John Peterson, eight
miles north of Cadott, was wrecked
from the explosion of charge OF
dynamite. Some unknown would-be
murderer put the explosive under
corner OF the house, where the wife
and children were sleeping, and that
side was completely shattered. The
bed was blown to pieces, and how the
sleeping occupants escaped is nothing
short of miraculous. A mill hand who
boarded with the family suffered
similar experience. Two of the chill
dren were severely injured, and Mrs.
Peterson is seriously Ill from the
Shock.

"A dispatch from st. Petersburg that

action to repress the anti-foreign

official utterance, meaning that II
there is any hesitaney on the part OF

All reports agree that the Boxer
movement is spreading. The report is
confirmed that the French agents at
Mong Use and Yu Nan En- have been
compelled to retire, and this shows
that the ferment has reached south
western China and has provoked
France into taking active steps.
Sir Claude Macdonald, British min.
lister at Picking, has wired the British
consul at Shanghai confirming the re-
ported outrages and the fact that the
throne and government have been act
uated by secret sympathy with the
Boxer movement, which the govern
ment has ample power to suppress fit
SO desired. His dispatch, however, IS
in no way Of an alarmist nature.
The latest Tien Tsin dispatch saying
that the dowager empress has appoint
ed anti-foreign generals with the pre-
tended mission to suppress the Boxers,
makes it impossible to doubt that the
time has arrived for@energetic action.

London, June 14.-After a weeks
Z silence Lord Roberts has been heard
from. his lire of communications hav-
Ing been practically restored by means
of a complete victory gained by Gems.
Methuen and Kitchener over Gen. De-
wet at the Rhenoster river yesterday.
The Boer camp was captured and the
burghers, it is added, were scattered
In all directions.
Lord Roberts. on being notified OF
the cutting of his line OF communica-
tons, sent Gen. Kitchener in all haste
to join Gen. Methuen. June II Lord
Roberts attacked Gen. Botha, who was
in strong force fifteen miles southeast
of Pretoria. After strenuous opposi-
ton, the British forces gained consid-
cradle ground, but Gen. Botha, when
Lord Roberts left the field, was still
indicated.
All is quiet at Pretoria and johann
nesburg and Lord Roberts says the
government need have no apprehen-
sion about the security of the army in
South Africa, as it will not take long
to remedy the reyerses and repair the
railroad.
A lengthy dispatch forwarded to the
war Office by Maj.-Gen. Knox from
Kroonstad, presumably sent there by
messenger, reads as follows:
'Kroonstad, June I've have been
requested to forward you from Lord
Roberts the following dispatch from
the Pretoria residency at sos a. m.
today: Pretoria, June 12.-Pretoria
and johannesburg are perfectly quiet
and several of the inhabitants have
expressed gratitude for the peace and
order which prevail.
After surrenderfng the city Botha
retired to a place about fifteen miles
east on the Middleburg road. He had
small force at first, but during the
last few days his numbers increased,
and his being so near the town kept up
the excitement IN the country, pre-
vented the burghers from laying down
their arms and interfered with the coll
lection Of supplies. 1t therefore be-
came necessary to attack him. This I
did yesterday. He held very strong
position, practically unassailable in
front, which enabled him to place the
main portion of his troops on his
tanks, which he knew from former
experience were his vulnerable parts.

TREATMENT MAKES HERlNsANE.


Canal Dover, Ohio, June 15. Burned,
bruised. bleeding and unconscious,
pretty l7-year-old Cora Bowers. daugh-
ter Of w. w. Bowers, . well-known
citizen Of New Philadelphia, the coun-
ty seat, three miles from here, was
found in the back yard OF her home
in st. Clair street, in the heart Of the
city. When she regained conscious
ness Miss Bowers told story Of .
most fiendish assault by an untdenti-
Ned rufnan, whom posse Of desper-
ate men is now trailing with blood
hounds. II caught he will certainly be
lynched. Every foot Of Tuscarawas
county is being searched for him. Miss
Bowers parents left home early in the
evening to call on relatives in another
part of the city, leaving their daughter
in company with her small brother and
sister. At 8 p. m. they had not re-
turned, and then Miss Bowers stepped
out OF the rear door of the house to
close the gate. AS she did so man
sprang out of the darkness and
clutched her about the throat, prevent
ing any outcry. While people were
passing along the street III front OF
the house he silently bore her to the
ground, still keeping firm hold on her
throat She fought and struggled des-
perately. Then her assailant held her
firmly with one hand and with the
other tore from her body all her cloth
ing. save her stockings and shoes.
Nude and terrified. the girl tried to
scream, but could not. Then, as eli
max to his inhuman cruelty, he kicked
her clothing into a heap and deliber-
ately set a match, to it. When 1t had
blazed up he forced the naked girl on
the flames and held her there until her
senses LETT her.
: Her 6-year-old brother heard her
means and ran out the door In time to
see q man leap the fence and dtsap-
pear. His screams attracted the neigh
bors, who arrived rapidly, and dragged
the helpless girl out of the shoulder
ing fire and carried her into her own
home. Sheriff James Hef1ing was at
once notified, and within half an hour
a hundred or more desperate men
were scattering out of the town in all
directions. Two bloodhounds belong
ing to the county were at once put on
the trail of the criminal, which they
followed four miles south to the open
ing of an abandoned coal mine. This
was thoroughly explored. but no one
was found inside. Later the dogs took
up the trail and followed it still far
ther south, where it was again lost in
"a field where horses were pastured.
It is believed that the man, fearing the
keen-scented brutes, corraled q horse
and rode it some distance to throw the
hounds OF the track. The search was
abandoned when daylight came, but is
now being continued. It 10 believed
that the fugitive cannot escape the
Gordon Of armed men, who have the
greater part of the county covered.
Miss Bowers is in critical condition.
Her back, arms, left breast and limbs
are terribly burned and she is In a
sad state Of nervous and mental ex-
element.
