THEY WANT MONEY.
Imperial Treasury at Peking Is
Said to be In a Very Bad
Way.

News Democrat Leased Vile Service. ]
Hong Kong, July 19.-(Delayed.) Ut
is learned from a reliable source that
viceroys have been summoned to Pek-
ing because the imperial authorities
want money. Under the Chinese system
of government the palace holds the power
Of the sword through the control Of the
troops. but only the viceroys can raise
the revenues, thus when the latter are
united they exert a vast influence. It
is learned that Ii Hung Chang and some
Of the other viceroys recently withheld
money under various pretexts.
Authorities in Chinese matters believe
that II Prince Tuan establishes himself
as head Of the government he will offer
to compensate for the murders which
have been committed. but will insist on
a closed door in China. If the powers
decline to respect Tuan's policy, China
will unitedly resist to the utmost.
Meanwhile Chinese military activity
is growing less and Canton is quiet.
Telegraphs today from scattered points,
such as Chung Kiang and Kang Kiang
are reassuring.
The only viceroys called to Peking 80
far as known are Ii Hung Chang, of
Canton. and Liu Kun VI, Of Marking.

Columbus. July 21.-Judge Gilbert H.
Stewart, attorney for the Bell Telephone
company, and Attorney General Sheets
and Auditor Of State Guilbert held a
conference in regard to the appraise-
ment Of the instruments Of the company
in Ohio under the recent decision of the
supreme court. as the result Of which
the valuation suggested by the attorney
general, SO per instrument will stand.
Judge Stewart was inclined to regard
the valuation as excessive. and said that
the state had based 1t upon Columbus
conditions. A brief review of the situ-
alton by Judge Sheets convinced him
that no unfair tax was proposed for
his company and he accepted the valu-
alton.
Under this plan State Auditor Guilbert
estimates that about $4,000 back taxes
will be paid by the company in the
different counties Of the state, and an
addition Of about $4,000 win be made
to the amount Of taxes the company
will have to pay annually hereafter.

ADMIRAL DEWEY
Declines to Take Nomination
On Third Party Ticket---Says
He Is Out of Politics.

Washington, July 20.-Admiral Dewey
says he is. out Of politics and he re-
spectfully declines to discuss or even
consider the suggestion that he might
have a presidential nomination at the
hands of those who refuse to accept
either Mckinley or Bryan.
The admiral spent the greater part OF
today in town and several of his
friends mentioned the favorable man
ner in which his name was received at
the meeting of the anti-imperialists
held in New York last night. He dis
missed the subject by saying he could
not subscribe to the views of some of
the participants in that gatherins, be-
sides he does not propose to make an
other muss of politics"
Several attempts were made to inter-
view him for publication at his country
residence this evening, but he positively
refused to discuss politics with any of
his callers. To his intimate friends he
makes the positive declaration that he
has no ambition to pose as a political
make-shift for any set Of men.
At one time he fancied that the people
Of the United States might desire him
to stand as their candidate for the
presidency. Events proved to his en-
tire satisfaction that he was mistaken
in that surmise. Besides Admiral
Dewey does not concur in some of the
views entertained by the anti-expan-
sionists. He is an expansionist of the
strongest type.
Admiral Dewey is perfectly content
to enjoy the comforts Of life, with
which he is so bountifully and agree
ably surrounded, and nothing but a
sure thing nomination for the presi-
dency would induce him to relinquish
the plans for his future pleasure and
enjoyment.
Having Travelled the world over, tast-
ed of the excitement or adventure and
successful war, he Is content to take
life easily, in quiet way, unless there
should come another call for him to
serve his country in the line Of his
profession.

At the Canton offices of the w. & L.
E. 1t was learned this morning that the
storm was caused by cloud burst.
Train 10S, which leaves Wheeling at Ais
and arrives at Canton at 1921 p. m,
was held at Warrenton, nine miles east
of Long Run, on account of the track
west of Warrenton being covered With
water. The train was in charge Of
Conductor Tressell and the veteran en-
gineer Edward Pedler who were oblig-
ed to hold the train at Warrenton un-
til the water subsided so as to permit
the passage of the train in safety across
Long Run. After the water receded the
train was pushed through as fast as
possible. Engine 50, one Of the heaviest
engines on the system, brought the
train north. 1t arrived at Canton four
hours and 40 minutes late. AS the train
was east of the storm center, 1t was
in perfect safety. The train crew
brought the train very cautiously over
the flooded tracks.

ALMOST SWEPT
A TOWN AWAY.
Seventy Five Houses Flooded
Down in Jefferson County.
MANY PERSONS ARE DEAD.
Awful Cloud Burst st the Little Town of
of Long Run, On the Line of tho
wheeling and Lake Erie
Railroad.

Wheeling, July 20.-The little mining
town of Long Run, on the Wheeling &
Lake Erie railway, two miles west Of
Mount Pleasant Ohio, with a popula-
ton Of 1000 was visited Thursday after
noon by the most severe storm ex-
perienced in 30 years. The rain fell
for 30 minutes in perfect torrent, with
thunder and lightning as an accom-
paniment.
Long Run empties into Short creek
near the settlement, and the dwellings
of miners line both banks. In an in
credibly short time the stream was
converted into a veritable river. About
rs houses in the lowland were flooded.
These were removed from their foun-
dations and moved away with the tor
rent. Several foundations were washed
away and houses were upset. Inhabit-
ants fled for their lives. A Hungarian
woman, Mrs. John Lingo, the wife of a
miner, was unable to reach any place
of safety when her house was lifted
from the foundation and she perished
in the flood with her son, John. Mary
Barbock, a three-year-old girl, was
also drowned, as was Herman Koplin,
aged five years.
Houses furniture and debris oil all
kinds were carried along by the rushing
| waters. The damage to property was
very heavy. Four county bridges over
| the streams were carried away. The
Wheeling & Lake Erie tracks along the
Long Run were so badly damaged as to
prevent traffic on the road. The track
Is washed out for over a mile.
Several cows and number Of other
| domestic animals fioated down the
stream, and the bodies of children were
carried a mile and half, and were
found in trestle work at Dillonvale.
| The loss to the Pittsburg & Lake Erie
Coal company will amount to $4,000.

Account.

c. W. LeBeau, the guardian Of
Charlotte Evans, has filed exceptions
in probate court to the final account
Of William ]. Kaufman, who was
formerly guardian for the girl. Kauff-
man lives In Stark county and was
appointed guardian of the girl. Later

LIGHTNING STRUCK
THE CHURCH
While Funeral Services Were
Being Held Within.
CASKET FELL TO THE FLOOR
And Indescribable Scenes Followed-One
Woman Was So Badly Shocked She
May Die-Many Women
tainted.

Bucyrus, o., July 20.-A gruesome ac-
cident occurred Thursday afternoon at
Chatfield, few miles north Of Bucyrus.
While the the funeral Of John zeller
was in progress binding flash Of light
ming struck the church, followed by a
deafening peal Of thunder. The edifice
was crowded to the doors, and half the
people were prostrated by the shock.
Mrs. Simon Shade, who was leaning
against one Of the pillars Of the church,
received most Of the shock and will
probably die. Twenty-Five others were
injured; some seriously. Many tainted
from fright, and a panic ensued. The
injured people were removed to house
nearby and medical aid summoned.
The bolt Of lightning struck the Chin
ney, and from there jumped to the pillar
against which Mrs. Shade was leaning.
The coffin swayed violently and fell to
the floor with crash. Screams, groans
and sobs, together with smoke and fly
ing bits of wood and plaster, filled the
church.
A SCENE INDESCRIBABLE
The scene was indescribable. The fu-
neral being in the country, was largely
attended, numerous rigs being hitched
ITO the rails and fences. A stampede oc-
Cured among the horses. and much
damage was done. The church was only
slightly damaged, a few bricks having
been knocked out of the chimney and a
little plastering loosened.
Mrs. Shade had just risen from her
seat to go forward and view the re-
mains when she was transfixed by a
binding flash Of lightning. The bolt
was seen to descend from the pillar by
which she stood and strike through the
trimming Of her hat, setting it on fire.
1t then descended part way down her
body and seemed to jump to the floor.
The stricken woman fell like a shot. AS
those near her had recovered from the
shock they went to her assistance and
put out the flames which had spread
upon her hat to her clothing. Her face,
meek and breast were SCARED with
script black lines where the liquid fire
had burned its way in small rivulets
in it's descent. She was carried TO the
parsonage next door but has not i'm
proved and her death is momentar.ly
expected. Though apparently con-
scious. stares blankly into space and
goes from one paroxysm into another.
RUINED THE HORSES.
A feature of the accident was the
effect Of it upon the horses. Many a
valuable animal was ruined for life.
Some of them could not be made to
pull the empty conveyances home while
others seemed to be In a trance. The
damage to buggies and harness was
great. Among the twenty-five persons
who were carried from the church
it is thought all will recover but three,
though the nature of their troubles
makes it possible for developments
which may prove fatal.
| The whole northern end Of the county
has gone wild over the matter, and moth
ing else is talked of.

MESSAGE FORWARDED.
Washington, July 20.-As soon as the

erations in China or on our preparations
here. He said he did not know, but
thought increased military haste might
precipitate matters in China.

bles in China began. 1t was neatly

Minister WI leaned back In his chair
and smiled as he repeated the threat

said II have been the recipient Of many
letters. but they have all been letters

was rather startling contrast. laid
it before Secretary Hay, but he tells me
that all prominent men receive letters
like that from cranks, 80 am not con-
cerned."
Speaking Of the Cinnamon In this
country Mr.. WI said: "They are, for
the most part, an ignorant class of peo-
pie. not much interested in the present
difficulties between China and the rest
Of the world. They are not at all in
sympathy with the Boxers. Quite the
contrary. the anti-foreign movement is
confined to the north China. The Chi
nese In this country are all from the
south. from the province Of Canton.
No Chinese who have travelled are anti
foreign In their feelings"
Mr.. WI expressed himself as much
pleased at the appointment Of w. w.
Rockhill as a special envoy to China.
1T is Just what have been advocat-
Ing for some time," he said.
"The information we get in this coun-
try is SO unreliable that 1t cannot be a
safe basis for action. Someone is need
ed over there who is open minded highly
intelligent and, most important Of all,
extremely tactful. Mr.. Rockhill is all
that. and has the advantage Of know
