shot, which passed through her head.
and Immediately after turned the gun
upon his own breast, fired. staggered
Il few steps, fired again and fell dead.
Both parties formerly lived in La

Ouray. Colo, July 9.-The Denver &
Rio Grande railroad experienced Il loss
of several thousand dollars last night
about 6 o'clock through the daring act
Of, as is alleged, William Sinclair, who
ran the regular passenger engine out
of the round house and started with it
for Montrose. The theft of the engine
was discovered by Agent Mittendorf.
who Immediately sent telegrams to
ditch it at aidgway, but about four
miles this side of that station, the en-
gine left the track when it was moving
at Il speed of fifty miles an hour. caus-
ing the tender to split in pieces and the
boiler and cab to be thrown twenty
feet and badly damaged.
A freight engine with Il large posse
started in pursuit of the fleeing engine.
The posse found Sinclair washing in
the river and arrested and confined him
in the county jail.
Sinclair is n cook by trade and
worked In Ouray in 1892. He was par
TALLY intoxicated and, if it was his act,
it was probably owing to drunken fren-

patched from Montrose and after

bris to that city.
Sinclair claims another man took the
engine out and that he was taking a
free ride toward Grand Junction. but
his coat and hat were found in the
cab and no other man was seen near
the wreck. Officers say that a witness
saw him.take the engine out.

The Famine In India.

London, July 9.-The secretary of
state for India, Lord George Hamilton.

viceroy of India. Lord Curzon, of
KedlestOn:
"The rainfall has been fairly general
this week in Bombay, Deccan Berar

Adjusting Clocks by Wireless Telegraphy
1t is proposed to extend the use Of
wireless telegraphy to the operation OF
timepieces. At the last annual meeting
of the Royal Society clock was ex-
hibited which was controlled at Il dis
tance by wireless telegraphy of the
HertZian wave system. The inventor
of this instrument proposes to adjust
the whole of the clocks in London sim
ultaneously by one clock, to which the
necessary equipment has been made
TO render clock sensitive to the in
tiuence of the wave system it would
be necessary to affiX n receiving instru-
ment with coherer, which would be
sentitive to electrical vibrations sent
out from central source. The system
might be extended not only to public
clocks, but to those of private resi-
dences. 1t is stated that by means of a
transmitter established at any point of
a city it will be possible to adjust every
clock in the place by the instantaneous
pressure of a button.

this was obviously Il matter of life and

repeated. The officer listened intently
The nurse held her breath. The Cuban

CONFLICTING NEWS OF
CHINESE SITUATION

London. July 9.-The foreign cOnsulx
at Shanghai met on July 7th and ofa
iicially announced that the legations -
Pekin were safe on July 4th. The for,>
going statement, read with Consul
Warren's Sunday dispatch to the for
eign office on Sunday makes it possible
to believe that the legations will hold
out for number OF days yet. Having
fought to Il standstill the first out
bursts of fanatical fury. it is believed
that something may intervene to save
them. The news. after the sinister ru-
mors of the last ten days. is enough up
on which to build up hopes.
The Shangai correspondent of the
Express. telegraphing on Sunday, ut
$40 p. m. throws doubt upon Consul
Warrcn's information. He says:
"raO Tai Sheng now admits that
there was an error in his communica-
ton to General Warren. The date of
the cOurier's arrival at Chinen Flu was
July 3rd, which does not apply to his
departure from Pekin."
The journey from Pekin to ,nineD
Flu takes five days. The courier. there
fore, could not have left Pekin later
sacre there, as given by Chinese re-
Tien Tsin is still hard pressed. A
Chinese force numbering flom 10000
to 100000 men, as estimated by incOn-
elusive reconnoisances. floods the coun-
try round about Tien Tsin, communica-
ton between which place and Taku is
apparently possible by river only.
A Che Foo dispatch to the Express
says the Russians have landed 5000
men at Tnku and the Japanese have
discharged several transports. The
Japanese pushed on to Tien Tsin, lead
ing in the subsequent assault upon the
native city, in which their commander
was killed. Ten more transports are
engaged at Japanese ports. With the
10000 British India troops atioat and
fresh japanese contingents it is quite
probable that''the allies will soon have
10000 men ashore.
The disorders in the provinces appea
to be increasing in violence. A Chi
nese army is within forty miles of New
Chwang and the foreigners are pre-
pairing to abandon their homes. The
southern part of the province is swept
by raiders. destroying all works of the
white man, except In spots garrisoned
by Russians. Proclamations have been
posted in all villages near Che Foo call
ing upon the loyal Chinese to rise and
eXpel the foreigners for introducing
among the pious Chinese an immoral
religion.
