TWO WOMEN ASSAULTED
ONE WHITE AND TIES OTHER. A
 NEGRESS. 6H
Posse Hunting for Yellow Negro Who is Suspected and If He'is Caught Lynching
 Will Follow.

St. Louis. June 23.-Two women. one white and the other colored, were assault ed and left for dead about three and a half miles east of East St. Louis this af- ternoon and a posse is out looking for q negro described by one of his victims. If he should be captured it is believed there will be lynching for the terrible double crime has caused great excitement and in dignation among the farmers of the American Bottoms where it occurred.
 One of the victims, Mrs. Anna Green, . colored woman aged 26, was clubbed about the head. her skull fractured and her left arm broken. Just before relapsing into unconsciousness she told of the as- sault and described light yellow negro aged about 25 years as her assaiiant. She was evidently the first victim of the fiend. who later proceeded to the home of John Bruno, a we'll to do farmer living be- tween East St. Louis and Bellevtile. and committed the second crime.
 About 8 o'clock this afternoon brother of Mss Flora Bruno. aged H, returned home and found his sister Wing on her bed in an unconscious conditioh- Her skull was fractured. both arms were fractured and she was suffering from other injuries. The young woman had been at home alone during the afternoon attending to the family washing. She was her father g housekeeper.
 Young Bruno spread the alarm and then the other assault became known. A posse was rapidly summoned and the country whereabouts is being searched for the guilty man.
 The posse of farmers, reinforced by the Chief of Police of East St. Louis and members of his force and the Sheriff of St. Claire County, with a number of dep uties. have surrounded a man on an isl- and formed by backwater from the Mis- slssippi fioo4It Is not known who thS man it.
 Florence Bruno was taken to St. Mary's Hospital in East St. Louis. She was still unconscious at a late hour tonight and though the physicians have done every thing possible for her. they express no hope for the girls recovery. Annie Greene, who Is at the Henrietta Hospi. tai in East St. Louis. is in a precarious condition. but there is a chance for her recovery.

MESSAGE OF BAILEY.
Governor Disapproves Direct Appro-
 priations to Flood Sufferers.

Governor DtsapproveS UtrecC Appxo-
 priations to Flood Sufferers.
 Topeka, Kas.. June Ex-Governor Bailey said tonight that his message to the Leg islature would not exceed 1,200 words. He declined to give an intimation about its contents. The special session will con- vene tomorrow.
 The Governor Is using his influence against the plan to appropriate half a million dollars or any sum to give to the flood sufferers. He says an appropriation would result in harm rather than good,
 Prorated among the sufferers. the money appropriated would got go far, few dol- lars to each family. No family would re- ceive as much as 1t ought to have to fe- lieve its distress. and all would be dis satisfied. That Is the Governors notion of the natter He would have the Legis- lature pass the necessary acts to enable counties and cities to rebuild bridges. to relieve their people who are in distress and to strengthen banks of rivers and creeks and then adjourn.
 Senator F. D. Smith has prepared a bill legalizing the loan of State money to flood sufferers to be paid back in four years without interest.

 Stewart was taking an engine and ten der to Hamlet and was going south He passed a northbound freight at Vass and evidently forgot another freight behind that. At Niagara he shot his engine up a grade around a curve. At the same time the freight in charge of Engineer Wall came flying down the grade around the curve. One fireman on the freight jumped just as the engines dashed wildly into each other in a 20-foot cut, grinding one another to pieces
 The two engineers were killed at once. Bond, fireman on the freight. was killed by beam of wood driven upward through his left breast and out at he neck. Fire man Brewers body is still wedged In the wreck.

KEEPING UP THE FIGHT
FRENCH GOVERNMENT STILL
 AFTER CONGREGATIONS.
M. Valle Defends the Actions of the Ministry and His Speech Leads to Long and Noisy

 M. Lery CRadical Republican, moved a counter proposal merely requiring school masters and school mistresses to hold cer- tihcates of competency, not mentioning the congregational question. The Cham Der refused, by 273 to 266 votes to refer this to the Educational Committee, there by infiicting partial check on the gov ernment
 Premier Combes, though present in the house. left the defense of the measure to M. Valle, the Minister of Justice, who in sisted on the necessity of arming the government with a new weapon against the congregations because the law was being evaded. Two-thirds of the unau- thorized schools. he said, continued in operation and when the police appeared they were told that the members of the congregations were secularized and a let ter from the bishop certifying to the fact was shown. In reality. the only differ ence was that the teachers wore ordinary clothes instead of the religious garb.
 A noisy and olsorderly debate followed NJ. Valle's speech and lasted until Il 80 o'clock tonight. The majority finally, sue ceeded in drowning the voices of all who attempted to speak against the measure, whereupon the entire body of the right left the hall but returned in time to take part in the vote. which resulted in the adoption of the bill by 829 votes to 66.

MADDEN WRITES PAYNE.
Says He Did Not Draw the Carbon Paper Contract.


 Detroit. Mich, June 2s-Third Assist ant Postmaster General Edwin c. Mad den. who Is visiting In this city today sent letter to Postmaster General Payne denying that he let a contract for carbon paper for the registry division of the postof1ce without permitting compe- tition and asking the Postmaster General to immediately investigate the story and It's source. The letter is as follows: Hon. Henry c. Payne. Postmastar Gen
 eral, Washington:
 This mornings Free Press of this city tells it's readers fin an article with scare headlines that Third Assistant Postmast- CT General Madden is to be investigated. It alleges that I drew specifications of contract for supplying the Department with carbon paper and that they were so framed as to allow of no competition. The article makes Mir. Wynne say that he merely approved it as a routine mat ter. It gives the impression that the con tract Is one over which the Third Assist ant has control and there is broad in- ference that you consider the transac- tion corrupt.
 The whole statement insofar as 1t at- tempts to involve me is absolutely false. had nothing to do with the details of the contract; I drew no specifications. l did not sign. in fact never saw the con- tract if there is one. My sole interest and connection with the subject is limited to an approval of the particular carbon pa per in question. because 1t Is labor-sav- ing and in other ways a great improve ment over the old style manifesting pro- cess and much better serves the needs of the postal service: and this approval was not given until after an investigation and recommendation to me by Superinten- dent of Registry System and recom- mendation by the Superintendent of Di- vision of Postofflce Supplies of the First Assistants offlce.
 The contract, if there be one, is both drawn and let by the office of First As- sfstant Postmaster General and with 1t had absolutely nothing to do except as before stated. If the statements printed were given The Free Press correspondent from the of1ce of tbe Fourth Assistant Postmaster General, they misrepresent the facts and the publication thereof es- peclaIly in my home city. Is calculated to put me in a bad light before the people with whom I have lived for upwards of forty years. and where I have earned what reputation I have. It Is malicious, cruel and without the slightest justihca- ton.
 I know you too well to believe that you will sanction this attempt to involve and besmirch me unjustly and I beg you not only as man to man. but as a considera- ton due my office at once to institute an investigation and do what you can to as- certain whether these absurdly false and damaging statements were actually given out at the Department and by whom. or whether they are purely the invention of the writer. ask that the publication Of the facts be not tardy.

MILL MEN FILE COMPLAINT
Protest Against Raise in Freight
 Rates on Lumber.

Rates on Lumber.
 Washington. June 23.--A complaint was filed today with the Interstate Com merce Commission by H. H. lift, W. s. Weat. J. E. Lee Ensign, J. 8. Belts and Company, Alpha Lumber Company and the Southern Pine Company, members of the Georgia Saw Mill Association, against the Southern Railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line. the Louisville and Nashville. the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis, the Seaboard Air Line, Central of Georgia, Georgia Southern and Florida, Macon and Birmingham and the Southern Freight Association and S. F. Parrott Chairman of the Southern Freight Association. by reason of their increasing the freight rates cents 100 pounds on lumber from points of shipment in the State of Georgia to Chattanooga and to points on the Ohio river, namely. Cincinnati. Ev- ansville, Henderson, Louisville, East St. Louis and St. Louis and to points beyond.
 The petitioners allege that in promul- gating said tariff of increased rates and maintaining and enforcing the same the defendant companies have been and are acting In concert with each other and with other lumber carrying roads, in pursu- ance of unlawful agreements and pur- poses for which the Southern Freight As sociation was formed The petitioners state that their rights and interests are vitally and injuriously affected by this increase which they consider arbitrary, unreasonable and unjust and destructive to their business. as well as defeating competition within a large territory. The further allegation is made that the in- crease will impose upon the yellow pine industry a burden out of line with and far more grievous than that sustained by the products of other industries of like weight snd value.
 The complalnants pray that the defend ants be required to answer the complaint and after due hearing be directed to de- sist from continuing to enforce the in- creased rate.

 Nellis attempted to have the paper bags in which the seeds were enclosed made in Washington by a machine in which an official of the Agricultural Department Is said to have invested some money. but the scheme proved failure and this nec- essariiy caused some delay in the distri- button of the seeds.
