DID ELECTRICITY KILL
ST. PIERRE PEOPLE
Scientist Thinks Painless Death Indi-
Gated by Repose of Features.

ST LOUIS, May 26,-John J. Cole. Of
this city. scientist of national repu-
tation- has q new theory regarding the
ST. Pierre disaster. He believes that
the 10000 victims were stricken by an
electric shock and died instantly and
painlessIy. He says:
That this vhole population was
snuffed out in An instant Of time is IN
questionable, ard It was done by an
electrical discharge. one Of the greatest
in recorded history This Will account
for the fact that many persons were
found sitting peacefully IN their chairs
as though they had fallen asleep, and
for the fact that some bodies were
found in an erect position It also &C
counts for the fact that there we're no
signs Of death struggle in the coun-
tenances Of those killed, which must
have been the case had they been
burned to death or sufocated with
gases

OF BISHOP POTTER
Statements EmphaticaIly Denied by the
Diocesan Secretary, Dr.. Nelson

NEW YORK. May z6.-Bishop Potter

reports of the state of his health have
given rise to the report that a bishop
coadjutor for New York is TO be elected

tative foundation

He did not faint at any time during

FOUND HIS House
TURNED 4OPSY- RURTY
Mr.. Alfred Hammers Home
Upset During Night
Friends OF Burglars, He Cannot Tell
Which-Pictures Nailed Face to the
Wall-No Clue to Intruders.

Whether the victim Of practical jok-
crs or malicious thieves is the question
which puzzles Mr. Alfred Harmer. su-
perintendent of the Automatic Fire
Alarm Company of this city. whose
house at I011 Virginia Avenue south
east was entered by unknown parties
shortly after 1 O'Clock this morning. The
intruders amused tbs uselves by turning
every chair in the house upside down
and mailing the pictures with their
faces to tire wall. They concluded their
efforts by Iiacirg a large gasoIene stove
upon the top Of q mahogany table, while
TO further decorate It, secured Mr.. HaT-
mer's best hat and placed it over the
tank containing the gascieue, where the
naphtha made short wo- k of it. Before
leaving the house the intruders man
aged to break five window panes, and
also punch a hole in the ceiling 81 sufi-
cient size to admit the passage OF a
mans body
The circumstances surrounding the
entrance OF the parties into the house
are of such al unusual character that
Mr. Harmer is unable to believe that
his home was entered for the purpose OF
robbery. but thinks it the work Of
friends who wished to play practical
joke upon him, and he admits that they
succeeded admirably.
In discussing the matter this morn
ing, Mr.. Hammer said that he had retired
about II o'clock, but was awakened
about haIf--ast 3 o'clock By noise
He did not arise. however, until
o'clock this morning. When he did 50
he went at once into the parloT and
found il looking as though the entire
house had been in the throes Of a ter
rife earthquake. during which it had
been turned upside down.
Upon making an investigation Mr.
EaTucr discovered that every room,
even the sleeping apartments, in the
house had been visited By the iutTuders.
and not ono Of the inmates, except him
self, had heard any sound. 4 police
mans baton. which he bad left lying IN
the Darlor Mr. HarmeT found sticking
up the chimney as we're also two large
Japanese swords. both of which had
been nailed to the wall as decorations
The affair is entirely d mystery TO
Mr.. Harmer, and he does not know
whether he is the victim Of thieves or
OF friends. but he slightly leans toward
the latter conclusion, because of the
fact that there was nothing missing
He has not yet decided as to whether
he will notify the police or not
The cSerations of the unknown per
sons in the HaTmeT home last night are
similar to those which occurred in a
hundred or more houses in Washington
number Of years ago, during the reign
of the notorious Jack the SIasher." but
all such work ceased after the Slash
er's'' capture by the police Mr.. Har-
mer's experience IS the first case Of its
kind that has been heard Of for some
time.

TROUBLE In RAISING
The GUARANTEE FUND
Money for @, A, R. EnCamp-
ment Coming in Slowly,
GENERAL WORK IS HAMPERED
Several Committee Meetings This Week
to Review Prospects and Further
Plans for Making the Event Sue
ceSsful.

Every effort Of those connected with
the citizens committee in charge Of ar
engagements for the coming encampment
of the Grand Army of The Republic. to
be held in this city next october, is now
directed to the raising Of the necessary
guarantee fund. Fer some time past the
officers Of the committee have been
much concerned at the tardy manner IT
which subscriptions we're offered. but
they had hoped to be able to raise the
necessary $50, coo without making known
the serious backwardness with which
the money is coming in. With this pUT
pose in view The work of the several
committees has been delayed and every
effort has been directed 20 remedyIng
the deficiency.
The allotment CT funds to the various
committees has of necessity been post
poned and their work thereby seriousI=
interfered with, as many of them are
unable to proceed with their work until
they know what money they will be al
lowed. The refusal Of the District Com
missiOneTs to etxend an official invita-
tion to the members Of the Grand Army
to visit the city unless the required
guarantee fund was raised has also been
a cause Of concern TO those II charge
OF arrangements, although it is stated
that this will not prevent the encamp-
ment from being held here under any
circumstances 1t IS hoped that the an
nouncement of the serious condition of
affairs will bring the generous public to
the assistance Of the committee and
quickly place the necessary funds at
their disposal
There will be a meeting this afternoon

tiers Of the committee OF literature for

its work probably better in hand than
any Of the other committees CT the en-
