PHYSICIAN KILLED BY NEGRO
One of the most sensational murders
that has startled Norfolk for many years
occurred last night, when DR.. J. c.
Bats, city coroner, was instantly killed
BY negro named Gray, at the home OF
the latter in Brambleton, a suburb. The
physician was called to attend Grays
wife. and from the best information OBJ
tainable was shot down by Gray the
moment he entered the house. The
police were notified and Immediately
surrounded Gray's house. The desper-
ate negro had not left the place, and
when the officers arrived opened lire up
ON them. barely missing several OF the
officers. After endeavoring to get Gray
out of the dark room in which be had
taken refuge the police squad, with
drawn reyolyers, charged up the steps,
and though Gray fired upon them several
times. continued to advance until they
had reached the door of Gray's room.
The officers fired volley and Gray was
heard to groan. An investigation re-
yealed the fact that he had been mortal
ly wounded, several bullets having taken
effect in his head and body. He was
removed to st. Vincents Hospital. He
cannot live. DR.. Batts's death was
caused by wound from double bar
relied shotgun. The charge struck him
full in the face, inhicting horrible
wound. The only motive assigned for
the murder is that Gray, who had been
ill for some time was delirious.

MITCHELL ON MINE HORROR.

Wikesbarre, Pa, July Il.-President
John Mitchell of the Miners Union is
affected today over the Johnstown catas-
trophe. He said this morning: "Until
such time as the operators of the mines
pay more attention to making their
coIleries safe places for men to work in,
these terrible disasters will occur. This
Johnstown horror simply emphasizes the
fact, as have contended, that the miners
work is such that his life is in constant
danger, and taking this fact into con-
sideration, it is only fair that he should
receive for his labor at least fair COM
pensation. In other industries men are
paid for jeopardizing their lives, but the
coal magnates have never wished to ac-
knOwlede this issue.

ANOTHER mining catastrophe has
occurred near Johnstown, Pa, thescene
of the terrible disaster in 1889 when a
food drowned many people. 1t is fear
ed several hundred persons persisted
in yesterdays disaster. A mine hor-
ror is one of the most terrifying of the
many cases of wholesale loss of life
which occur in our day, and the scenes
in the vicinity of such catastrophes are
woeful in the extreme. Fathers, mothers,
wives and children gather in the vicinity
of the mine in which dear ones are en-
tombed and their lamentations once
heard will never be forgotten.

THE CAMBRIA MINE HORROR.

THE CAMBRIA MINE HORROR.
Johnstown. Pa, July 11.--Eighty-
two dead bodies and four still living is
the record of rescue from the Klondike
shaft of the Rolling Mill Mine. OF these
bodies AZ have already been brought out
and taken to the armory which has
been converted into morgue, the four
living have been taken to the hospital
and 50 bodies are now being brought
from the mine. 1t is believed that be-
tween sixty and seventy are still en-
tombed. The disaster is generally as
cribed to the careless work of party OF
Slays engaged in drawing the pillars IN
the worked out rooms along the seventh
heading. This it done to permit the
abandoned rooms to fill up by the cav
ing Of the roof to prevent gas accumulat-
ing. The work is always accompanied
by the presence of more or less gas, let
in through the openings from the roof
breakagc Safety lamps should be
used, but the rescuers assert that none
of the dead Slays found in the upper
section of the seventh heading, were so
supplied. They used naked lights.
Altoona, Pa, July 11.-At s O'Clock
this morning it was stated by the officials
of the company that the list of the dead
in the mine disaster would not exceed
so. This statement is based on the
investigation of General Manager Moore
who early this morning penetrated the
Klondike, and others who are familiar
with the situation.
.Johnstown, Pa, July lit is be-
lieved that another very serious and fatal
explosion has occurred in the Klondike
section of the Rolling Mill mine. The
explosion is said to have taken place
about II o'clock, and the officials of the
Cambria Steel Company, at the West
mont opening of the mine, are trying to
suppress the rumor and keep it from
gaining circulation among the great
crowd at the entrance. A workman who
was member of the rescuing party
which went into the mine this morning,
came out at l1:45 o'clock. He stated
to reporter that another explosion had
occurred and that one branch of the gen
eral rescuing party was unaccounted FOL
and that probably all were killed.
A later dispatch says that seventeen
men have been found in the mine alive
They broke an air pipe and got air
The majority are Americans. There
was no second explosion in the Klondikt
mine.

TRACY STILL AT LARGE.

Seattle, Wash, July ll.-0nce more Harry
Tracy has given the officers the slip, making
his escape after a fight from what seemed to
the officers to be a trap from which the bandit
could not get away. Instead of intrenching
himself on knoll, near Auburn, Tracy fed
to the mouth of Sluice creek, near CoyingtOn,
passing through the line of deputies without
trouble, although they were stationed only
fifty feet apart. About midnight Ire arrived
at the Covington lumber company's sawmill,
about mile from the city A posse had
been stationed there and when Tracy approach
ed he was challenged. whats your name?"
he was asked. Anderson" was the reply, and
then he started to run. The deputies opened
fire. In his flight Tracy encountered Deputy
Sheriff Grove, who had been stationed on the
railroad track. "Who goes there?" chal-
lengeG the officer "A deputy" cody re-
piled Tracy. Grove started to approach
when Tracy began firing, Grove being 50
close that he was powder burned, but not hit
Tracy then plunged into the brush and disap-
peared. About a. m. a man believed TO
have been Tracy, attempted TO board a freight
train but failed. Later second train was
hailed from the saw mill by man whom the
train hands believe to have been Tracy. The
opinion is advanced that he was wounded in
the first encounter.

CoSsrERNArIoN AT Fort DE FRANCE.

CONSIDERATION AT FORT DE kANCE.
A dispatch from Fort de France, Mar
Unique. says the inhabitants at that
place were thrown into panic stricken
state Wednesday night by violent
eruption of Mont Pelee. Many of them
fled in all directions, with little or
no clothing. The incessant rumbling
continued until $50 yesterday morning.
In the first half hour the heayeus were
dotted with scintillant lighting points,
like Stag on the surface in an iron foun-
dry. This phenomenon had not been
noticed in the previous eruptions. The
lightning points became gradually longer
and longer, and more serpent-like, and
the flashes grew larger and spread over
a greater area every minute. The
rumblings ceased at $3.50. Black clouds
then covered the heavens, and heavy rains
followed. The rumblings began again
later on, and were accompanied by vivid
flashes of lightning. 1t is reported that
a tidal wave lowered the sea level by a
meter. TeIegraphic communication was
closed for the time as the operators be-
came panic stricken when the lightning
began to play about the wires. Several
of the lines were broken.

OATH-TAKING.-Ye yesterday was a day
of oath-taking in Virginia. The new
constitution, but recently completed,
went into effect at noon, and the execu-
tive officers of the State government, as
well as Che judges of courts of record
throughout the Commonwealth, began
promptly to take the oath of allegiance
required by the order putting the new
instrument into effect. There was no
special ceremony or formality connected
with putting into effect the new organic
law. Indeed the change from the old
to the new was not noticed. The Gen
eral Assembly will meetin extraordinary
session on Tuesday next, when its mem
bers will formally acknowledge their
allegiance to the new organic law, and
proceed with such legislation as the
changed conditions may make immed-
lately necessary. The session will prob
ably last anywhere from two to four
weeks. Governor Montague was proba-
bly, the first State officials to take the
oath. He appeared before Judge Witt
of the Hastings Court in Richmond, at
1901 O'Clock, and in the presence of
State official and others formally sub
scribed to the oath. The first official act
of Governor Montague, after taking the
oath, was to sign commission appoint
ing Miss Carrie A. Gregory, of Lynch
burg, a notary public for that city. Miss
Gregory is not only the first woman
as a notary public, but
deserves the credit of having secured the
in the new constitution of the
clause allowing women to fill this posi-
ton.
