SEVEN DEAD IN ONE ROOM.
Members of n CoIOred Family Who
Probably Had Been Poisoned.

CHICAGO April 21.-Dead in a stuffy bed
room in a crowded tenement quarter on
State street the bodies of an entire colored
family numbering seven persons were found
tonight gnawed by rats and in an advanced
state of decomposition. The police incline
to a theory of murder and suicide by
poison. The family is that of Jones Butler
an upholsterer, and consisted of Butler
his wife and five children. They had been
dead for eight days. While the members
of his family were either partly or wholly
undressed the body of Butler remained en-
tirely clothed. He had seemingly thrown
himself in desperation across the corpses
of his wife and children some time after
the poison had acted on them. Butler had
frequent difficulties with his wife and had
made threats to do away with his family.
1t is thought that dependency due 10
brooding over the conditions surrounding
his family, who were in utter poverty,
caused Butler to go insane and take the
lives of all seven.

FOUR CATTLEMEN SHOT.
One Killed and Three MOrtaIIy
Wounded in "a Fight.

VINITA, i. T., April 21.-In a fight be-
tween cattlemen west of COllnsville, in
the Cherokee nation, William Phillips was
killed instantly and William Mayfield, Jess
Skidmore and Lige Johnson were mortally
wounded. All are nonresident cattlemen
who own pastures not far from Collins
vile. The fight was the result of an old
feud between Skidmore and Mayfieid which
had it's origin in court contest over some
grazing land.
All four men were in Collnsville during
the day heavily armed and apparently ex-
pecting trouble. Late in the afternoon
Skidmore and Johnson left for Oolagah,
and a few miles west met Mayfield and
Phillips awaiting them by the roadside.
Without any preliminary words Mayfield
leveled his shotgun and fired at Skidmore,
who received the load i'm his right breast
AS the wounded man reeled from his sad
die he turned his gun on Phillips, who had
also raised his gun TO fire at him, and shot
him through the heart. AS SkidmOre fell
from his horse Mayfield turned his gun on
ly. Mayfield was wounded in the shoulder
and Johnson in the side. Though desper-
ately wounded. the men fired again and
again, every shot taking effect. Friends
who had feared trouble and who had fol-
lowed Skidmore and Johnson from Collins
vile arrived at this juncture and prevented
the wounded men from finishing their fight.
The wounded men and the BODY OF Phillips
were taken into COllinSville. SkidmOres
wounds were pronounced fatal and little
hope is given for the recovery OF the others.

DESTROYED BY QUAKES
QUEZALTENANGO AND AMATITLAN,
GUATEMALA, ARE IN RUINS.
Unconfirmed Rumor That 500 Persons
Perished-SurvivOrs Camping Near
the Scene of the CatacIysm.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The three earth
quakes on Friday night reduced TO ruins
Quezaltenango, the second city of i'm
portance in Guatemala, and having $4,000
inhabitants, and completely destroyed the
town of Amatitlan, says a Guatemala City
(Guatemala) dispatch TO the Herald. Both
of these towns were capitals of the depart
ments of the same name each bears. 1t is
reported that five hundred persons were
killed in QuezaltenangO, but the rumor
lacks confirmation. The exact loss of life
cannot be ascertained. News of the de-
struction, which extended one hundred
miles along the Western part of the repub-
lie. is coming in slowly because all of the
telegraph wires are down. 1t is known that
Amititlan exists no more a town, the
seismic disturbances having been so great.
The inhabitarts-that is those of the ten
thousand residents who escaped death in
the catacly ysm--are camping in the open air
for safety, not daring to return to the
ruined confines of the town. Some of the
inhabitants are building temporary mud
huts.
More news has been obtained about the
condition of affairs at Amtitlan than at
Quezaitenango, as the former is only fif-
teen miles south of this city, while the
latter is more than one hundred miles to
the northwest.
Couriers say earthquake shocks are still
being felt at short intervals in the neigh
bor11ood of Quezaltenango. There have been
serious seismic disturbances along the Cor
dillera affecting towns and villages be-
tween Amititlan and Quezaltenango.
No reliable information regarding the
loss of life or the extent of property de-
struction in these immediate places has
reached here Slight disturbances were felt
at Guatemala City. but no great damage
resulted.

HOLLAND in SUSPENSE
NATION GRIEF-STRICKEN OVER
QUEEN WILHELMINA'S ILLNESS.
Politicians Aghast at the Possibility
of Fatal TerminatiOn-Her Maj
esty the Peoples Idol.

LONDON, April 22-In a dispatch from
Castle Loo, the correspondent of the Daily
Mail declares the information vouchsafed
the public minimizes the gravity of Queen
Wilhelmina's condition and magnifies her
chances for recovery. The grief-strcken
nation, which loves the queen to the point
of idolatry, is in a state of terrible sus-
pense. while the politicians are aghast at
the possibilities of a fatal termination of
her illness.
THE HAGUE, April H.-The condition Of
Queen Wilhelmia is unchanged. Her ply
sicians say it is impossible to predict the
date of the crisis in her illness. An ex-
traordinary Cabinet council was held to-
day. The meeting engendered numerous
rumors concerning decision in the matter
of the regency, but il is said upon good
authority that this matter was not dis
cussed at the council.
1t is rumored that one of the maids of
Queen Wilhelmina's household has been at
tackled with diphtheritic fever. The queen
mother burst into tears when she was first
told her daughter had typhoid fever. She
seldom leaves the sick chamber.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Another mystery
and apparently, a tragedy somewhat SINH

ing much excitement IN and about Pater-
son. Mary Eta Shipp. nineteen years DID,
a silk worker died at Wanaquc. twelve
miles from Paterson. and her statement

death resulted from something she drank
at roadhouse. while in the company OF a
young man whom, she declared, she did
not know. An autopsy performed by
the county physician, but he declines to
make any statement until a chemical ex-
animation has been completed.
Miss Shipp was the daughter of well-to-
do farmer, attractive and educated, and
bore an excellent reputation. Her father
lives near Macoupin. During the last year
she had been employed in a silk mill at
Of her family there. She went very little in
the society Of the village and passed most
of her leisure time riding her bicycle over
the country roads. After one of these rides
she complained of illness and finally on her
deathbed she said she had taken drink of
root beer at a rOadhOuse with a young
man whom. she said, she had met on the
road for the first time. There are several
roadhOuses in the vicinity, but no degree
of questioning could induce her to tell
which place she visited or anything more
about the identity of the man. She died in
great agony.
