tons issued by General Chaffee under
direction of the war department in re-
gard to the protection of the American

ity The guard will repel attacks made
by Chinese on the American legation or
its own position, and, if necessary to do

A Brutal Murder.

Connellsville. Pa, May 2O.-Five thou
sand frantic white people surrounded
the fragile little lookup in the town hall
Behind the cell bars were William
Fairfax and his wife, "Black FL" both
colored, who had just murdered William
Moore, assistant yardmaster in the Balti-
more & Ohio yards. Early this evening,
when the streets were crowded with the
Saturday night throngs, William Moore
and Baggagemaster Johnston of the Fair
mount branch train were attacked by the
negroes as they turned into an alleyway
from Main street going toward the rear
entrance to the Hotel Atlas. Moore was
struck with a brick on the head and fell.
Quick as flash the negro Fairfax leaned
down over the PROSTATE victim, jerked his
watch from his pocket, took his money
from his clothing and then took the UNI
conscious body in his arms and hurled it
over stone wall, a distance of 80 feet.
Moore was not dead when he was hurled
from the wall, but the fall broke his neck
and he died instantly.
The murder was right in the heart
of the city. When a crowd from Main
street pressed upon the negroes, they ran
down the alley, but the wife, throwing
stones and bricks, held the crowd until
three policemen rushed in upon her and
captured her and Fairfax little later.

pigeons. The pigeons, suddenly released
from their captivity, rose in a great mass,
circling round and round through the tow
ers of the building, rising higher and
higher until gradually as they got their
bearings they darted away, first in pairs,
then by the score, until all had disap-
peared to the four points of the compass,
bearing their messages announcing the
dedication of the exposition.
The troops were massed on and around
the bridge of triumph, and at II: 10 the Of

King to visit Homburg.

New York, May 2l.-It is considered
certain, says the Trbune's London CORE
spondent, that King Edward will visit
Homburg in August. He win make a
stay there of three weeks, and during his
visit the German emperor will stop a few
days at Homburgschloss. 1t is probable
that the emperor and empress of Russia
may be at the time at Darmstadt, and a
meeting between the sovereigns of Eng
land, Germany and Russia is regarded,
consequently, as by no means unlikely.
The German emperor is said to be con-
templating visit to Cowes late in the
year.

employed at the Swan Fall power plant
of Snake river, has had a most remark
able experience. Scott was asked by
Foreman Conway to go across the river
for some tools. Although Scott knew
nothing of handling a boat, he started
across. The boat went over the falls and
down into the water below, which is
churned into froth by the fall To the
surprise of all the boat, with Scott in it,
shot out from the boiling mass of water
and slid into a treacherous eddy, where
it revolved with lightning rapidity.
As quickly as possible rope was
thrown to Scott and he was pulled ashore.
When the boat went over the falls and
into the seething mass below it plunged
headforemost at least 10 feet. That Scott
was not thrown out and drowned is a
mystery.
