HARVARD STUDENT KILLED.
Run Down by Chemical Engine at
Fire Last Night.

Fl. S. Bigelow of Buffalo, a freshman at
Harvard. was instantly killed by a chem
ical engine of the Cambridge fire depart
ment last night. A fire was found among
a pile of boards near the Harvard archi-
tectural building by one of the Harvard
professors. An alarm was sent in, but be-
fore the fireman responded Prof. Hollis
and the students had put out the fire.
The alarm caused the undergraduates
to assemble. and as the fremen drove up
there was much jeering. The chemical en-
gine was very late, and the crowd hooted
the men. The accident is described diff
ferently, the fremen claiming that the
horses on the engine became excited at
the bowling crowd and dashed forward,
scattering the crowd. The students claim
that the driver, John Dowdis, deliberate
ly drove his engine into the crowd of stu
dents Bigelow was caught under the
wheels and other students were knocked
down, but only one had any injury to
speak of. AS soon as the students real
ized what had happened they made wild
demonstration. But cool heads maintain
ed control and the firemen were allowed
to return to their stations.

SEVERE STORM AT PIrTsBuRG.
One Life Lost and Much Damage t,
PrOnerty.


Property.
A dispatch from Pittsburg last night
says: A terrific electrical storm, accom-
panied by a high wind and a heavy rain,
passed over this section this evening doing
damage to property and causing at least
one death.
When the storm reached Homestead,
Francis Morris, aged seventeen years, and
his sister Minnie, aged fourteen years,
were in the yard of their uncle's home on
18th avenue The house was struck by
lightning, and the current took it's course
along a wire clothesline, reaching from the
house to fence eighty feet distant, where
young Morris was standing. The boy was
instantly killed and his sister badly shock
ed and hurt by falling bricks. The same
bolt struck three other houses in the vicin-
ity, shattering them, but resulting in no
other fatality.
At McKeesport the Baptist Mission, a
frame building, was blown from its founda-
tions into the street, and had to be torn to
pieces to clear the thoroughfare. At East
Pittsburg the Pennsylvania and Baltimore
and Ohio tracks were completely sub
merged by what seemed to be a cloud
burst, and trains Were delayed several
hours. great deal of minor damage was
done, aggregating several thousands of dol

MRS. NEWBERRY SEEKS DIVORCE.
Daughter of Ambassador White
Brings Suit Against Husband.

A special dispatch to the Philadelphia
Press from Sandusky, Ohio, yesterday,
says: Shortly after midnight this morning
Mrs. Clara Newberry sued her husband,
Prof. Spencer B. Newberry for separation,
alimOny and the custody Of minor children
Mrs. Newberry is the daughter of An
drew d. White, formerly president of Cor
nell University, and now United States
ambassador to Germany. The defendant,
Spencer B. Newberry, was formerly pro-
fessor of chemistry in Cornell University.
He married Miss White in Ithaca. About
seven years ago the couple came here Prof.
Newberry becoming the largest stockholder
and manager of the Sandusky Portland ce-
ment works. He is quite wealthy, lives in
a fine home in Washington street and owns
steam yacht
Late Monday night Mrs. Newberry re-
turned home and it is now known that
something unusual then occurred. Shortly
after midnight court officials were aroused
from bed and The petition was filed. The
sheriff went to the residence and served
the summons on the defendant Mrs. New
berry went to the home of a friend. To-
day Judge Reed allowed an injunction re-
straining the defendant from disposing Of
his property or drawing his salary. which
amounts to 5000 a year Mr.. Newberry
Is ordered not to go to the house where his
wife lives or to interfere with the children
The petition was withdrawn from the
court files and the details cannot be
learned. 1t is quite long and the attorneys
admit that unfaithfulness is alleged, the
names of several Sandusky women and one
living in Toledo being mentioned.
Mrs. Newberry does not ask for divorce
but simply wants A separation. 1t was
hoped that the difficulties could be adjust
ed. but it was stated tonight that such a
result didn't seem probable. On the con-
trary. it is now believed that the trouble

of divorce. The Newberrys have two chill

BURNING OF FORBIDDEN CITY
Mr.. ROckhilI Thinks 1t Was Done b!
Royal Order.

Mr.. ROckhilI Thinks 1t Was Done by
| Royal Order.
| dispatch from Pekin yesterday says: A
meeting of the foreign ministers today
| showed better prospects of their coming
to some definite understanding, the ma
| jority favoring the acceptance Of China S
offer of 465, 100000 taels as the amount of
the indemnity to be paid to the powers.
There was considerable discussion as to
how the per cent interest could be col
lected.
Mr. Rockhill will present at the next
meeting an expression Of the American
desire to finish the business at The
Hague. A majority of the ministers con-
fess themselves against the proposition,
thinking that within the next ten days
everything can be adjusted.
In the meantime the present military
preparations for the departure of the
troops and the Chinese intentions regard
ing the return of the court to Pekin seem
premature. The ministers may force a de-
cision in the matters remaining to be
adjusted.
Mr.. Rockhill has the translation of an
edict by the wording Of which it would
seem that the library of the Forbidden
City was Intentionally set on fire by Or
ders of the court, and was not struck by
lightning, as was reported by the foreign
guards. The edict orders the destruction
of all the archives.
The fire must have happened the day
after the receipt of the telegraphic edct,
though at the time rumor Of the receipt
of the edict was denied by Prince Ching
and Ii Hung Chang.
dispatch from st. Petersburg says: The
impression prevails in official circles here
that the mode of paying the Chinese in
demnity will not be settled for long pc
riod, possibly not until the present minis
terS at Pekin are replaced. 1t Is thought
they all would welcome a change of post,
and that new men would be reader to
settle the differences While Russia is not
pressing the guaranteed loan proposition,
because the constitutional powers could
not guarantee the loan without legisla-
tive consent which would necessitate de-
lay, the plan is not Withdrawn. The Brit
ish proposition is not acceptable.
Mr.. Rockhills arbitration proposal causes
scme wonder, since the mode of payment
is hardly considered a suitable issue for a
legal determination.
London dispatch says: Lord Cranborne.
the under foreign secretary, replying to a
question in the house of commons yester-
day as to whether Germany meant to
maintain a large military force at Shang
hal, said the government understood Ger
many intended to continue keeping garri-
son there. No explanation had been given
by Germany as to why she had concluded
to follow this policy

British Government Announces Its
Policy in Annexed Territory.
A blue book was issued by the British
foreign office yesterday, containing the re-
port of the TransvaaI concessions commits
sion. 1t is clear, the commission AYERS
that a state which has annexed another is
not legally bound by any contracts made
by the state which has ceased to exist and
that no court of law has Jurisdiction to en-
force such contracts If the annexing state
refuses to recognize them.
The commission recommends that the
government decline to recognize the dyna-
mite and other concessions and adds
that 1t Is satisfied DR.. Leyds and others
have received from certain directors shares
and other financial considerations.
Regarding the Netherlands South African
railroad, the report, while admitting that
the concession was legally granted, con-
stders II injurious that trunk railroad lines
should be the monopoly of single COM
pany. especially foreign company. The
concession should be terminated even If
the companys conduct Is not open to COM
plant But its extraordinary action in the
war precludes the possibility of it's contin-
uance under British administration
Discussing the position of the sharehold-
ers, the report says the beligerent acts
for which all the shareholders were legally
responsible. caused immense damage to
Great Britain. Cape Colony and Natal
The British government, as an act of
grace, may show some consideration to the,
shareholders. but the commission considers
this should be postponed till the sharehold-
ers have exhausted the remedies open TO

good.
The commission recommends the deben-
ture holders to full recognition.
