FOUL MURDER IN MONTANA
FARMER is AssAssINATED IN HIS OWN
HOME.
mystery Surrounds the Murder. Although
the General Opinion Is 1t Was Work
OFFS Robber.

A special from Bearmouth, Mont,
says James Conn, wealthy ranchman
on Willow creek, was found shot 70
death In his home. His mother lay
upon the floor with her skull crushed
In, and cannot live. The murderer Is
believed to be the lone bandit who held
up the North Coast limited Friday
morning
A member OF threshing crew on
land adjoining the ranch had occasion
to visi. the Conn ranch. and when he
entered the farmhouse terrible sight
presented itself. On the floor, with
the brains oozing from his head, lay
James Coon, dead, with ragged bull
let hole through his temple. Near him
lay his mother, her head crushed in
with blunt instrument, presumably
the butt OF a revolver.
At the time of the hold-up of the
Northern Pacific train bloodhounds
were put upon the trail Of the robber
and the dogs followed it for several
iniies IN the direction OF the willow
creek district, but lost the scent.
Those familiar with the country de-
cided at the time of the robbery that
in all probability the outlaw would at
tempt to escape that way, as the
country is such as to afford an excel
lent opportunity to evade capture, be-
ing heavily timbered.
The discovery of the crime was
made at O'Clock in the afternoon, and
officers are now at the scene. Near |
the stable the threshing men met |
demented woman, who had lived with |
the Conn family for some time. This
woman killed her husband about |
twenty years ago, and it is suggested
hat perhaps she committed the
tragedy. The scene of the crime is
about thirty miles from Bearmouth,
'emote from the wires, and details are

fire and SIN oke Pouring From . Mountain
In Mexico.
There is no little CONSERVATION felt
by the inhabitants of many towns in
the remote south country OF Mexico on
account OF showers of ashes falling in
the extensive region from San Juan
Beautista, capital of the state of Ia
basco. as far north as Salina Cruz. 1t
is believed that hill near Palenque,
where there is great historic city in
ruins, has suddenly been transformed
into an active volcano. The ashes
falling at Palenqus have hidden the
sun and also At Comitan. and great
fear has come on the people. Palenque
is the center OF the disturbs nee. as tho
burning mountain is said TO be near
there. There is some anxiety felt for
Chiapas.
Indians arriving at San Christobal
Las Casas say hill in the Guadeloupe
Sierra is vomiting fire and smoke.
People in many towns have been run
ming about in terror and offering
prayers publicly for the safety OF them
selves and children. Scientific opinion
is that all of this is part OF the general
awakening OF volcanic forces in the
West Indies and Central America.

RICE FAMINE IN
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.


Civil Commission Takes Steps to Prevent
Suffering Among Poorer People.
It is believed that President Roose-
velt's order permitting foreign vessels
TO engage in coastwise trade through
the Philippine islands will relieve i'm
mediately the inter-insular freight
situation, and will improve and lessen
the cost of rice. in which article fam
inc is threatened. The civil com
mission intends to act at once on the
presidents order. hoping thereby to
avert suffering among the poorer pso-
pie of the islands.
Agriculture in the islands, already
impaired on account of war and chol-
era, has been further injured by To-
Gusts. These have appeared in many
places and are working serious injury
to the crops. The advent OF locusts,
together with the fall OF the price of
silver. renders business and industrial
prospects in the Philippines gloomy. 4
The cholera is gaining strong foot
hold on the island of Mipdanao. 1t is
expected to spread there as it has else
where in the islands i continues to
be bad in the province Of Iloilo, Island
Of Panay, but it is light elsewhere.

WHOLESALE PoISONER.
London SaIoonkeeper Who Has Mania
for Poisoning Women.

London dispatch says: George
Chapman, who came from America in
1898 and who is now the landlord of a
Southwark saloon, poisoned young
woman who had lived with him as his
wife. 1t transpired that this was the
third woman who had died within & We
years in houses owned by the prisoner,
and it is stated the affair may develop
in a manner similar TO that OF the cele-
brated Neill poisoning case in 1892.
Both the other women mentioned as
having died in Chapman's houses were
his wives. The police have intimated
that they might want to exhume the
bodies.
Thomas Neill (alias Cream, M. D.,
was convicted in London of the muir
der by strychnine of Matilda Clover,
an unfortunate woman, Oct. FL, 1892,
and was executed Nov. 18th Of the
same year. He was accused OF the
murder of three other women.
While the police are not yet able to
state whether Chapman is an American
citizen, they are sure he resided in
New York in 1893. Chapman, who has
had varied career, formerly described |
himself as an American.

THE CAPE OE BRIDGES.

Painters are at work for six days in every
week upon the huge bridge over the Firth of
Forth, In Scotland, one of the biggest and one
of the ugliest ever constructed anywhere. That
is the general judgment passed upon it by ex-
perts of every class. The labor lavished upon
it in order TO keep every part of it. little Dg
in the best possible condition knows no slacken-
ing, falling off The first big span which
crossed those stormy Scottish waters fell in
raging tempest many years ago. The loss OF
life was appalling, as n crowded passenger train
sank into deep water when the arches col
lapsed.
There is no menace Of another disaster of that
sort in Scotland That catastrophe a lesson
to railroad corporations and to engineers which
could not be forgotten. But If Tammany schem-
ers had been permitted by our voters TO retain the
control Of our bridges over the East River, what
reason is there to suppose that travel between
Long Island and Manhattan would have been
secure from a great calamity within years not
far away in the future? Neglected bridges may
tumble down at any time
