windows and doors were demolished, and a
hundred shots were fired There was q circus
in town to-day. which brought additional crowds

the police have been at work preventing crowds
from gathering. There have been dozens Of per
sonaI encounters on the streets. but no duels
with weapons.
The grand jury met to-day and indicted Lee
Brown, the negro who killed Patrolman Massey,
for murder in the first degree. The general
feeling of unrest and uneasiness caused a meet
ing OF Mayor Covert, Sheriff Kratz and the
county officers, at which the grave situation
was discussed, and plans were made 10 protect
all citizens IL another outbreak were precipi-
tst cd. All SALOONS in the city Egefe oodered

The feeling between the whites and the

time and the murder of Patrolman Massey
caused the feeling to become intensified.

the city and will depend on the militia to help
me do IT, I expect the police to depHtize
enough men tonight to suppress all lawless-
ness.
The Mayor issued the following proclamation

ALL HOPE ABANDONED
Pope Kept AIiUe Only by the Use
of StimuIGntS.

'speelai TO The New-fork Tribune by French CabIe)
'Copyrght 1903: BY The Tribune Association)
Rome, July 6-While this morning the state
Of the Pope gave occasion to hope that the
vigorous constitution of the aged Pontifr might
postpone his death for a time. the crisis toward
evening put an end to all hopes The bulletin
given out at 8 o'clock was so cruelty crude and
clear that the greatest optimists were Obliged
to revise their opinions
The truth is that the Pope's life is only arti-
fcially prolonged by remedies Of modern
science The Pope. who all his life was almost
a teetotaler, by the free use of stimulants was
reused to false vitality, but this artificial life
was to be succeeded by extreme weakness.
An affection of the heart is the true cause Of
death. as the pulmonary trouble in comparison
is only slight. The patient is RAPIDLY losing
strength. and the last struggle is beginning
Considering the great tenacity OF life which
Pope Leo has displayed. it is difficult TO proph-
esy the time of his death. 1t may be that the
catastrophe will take place tonight. but it is
also possible that the final collapse will be de-
layed until tomorrow morning
1t is curious fact that the Roman citizens
who remember that the death of Plus TX was
kept secret for more than twenty hours now are
convinced that Pope Leo is already dead, and
that the Vatican court. for political reasons.
keeps the death secret In order TO gain time
in this confusion
Most of the newspaper writers have grown so
nervous that the news of the Pope's death has
been telegraphed almost dozen times. A re-
markable fact. mentioned by the Roman paper
"Patria' is thai. while In all other parts OF
Italy great anxiety and sorrow are manifest.
the Roman people on the whole are reserved and
show great Indifference The Romans have
always been remarkably sceptical

TRIBUTES TO THE POPE.
Praise from Catholic and Protestant
PreLqteS.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: We admire Leo XIII for his loftiness of
intellect, for the strong refulgent light he has
spread all social. religious and economic
questions but. above all, for his great and abid-
ing sympathy with humanity. His high Office
made it imperative to rebuke sometimes the
world but while he rebuked 1t he loved what
was best in it and sympathized fully with its
highest aspirations.

Sir: The strength OF the Papacy in the TWEEN
tieth century must consist in it's moral rather
than its military political power. His Holi-

KILLED By SUBWAY FALL.
Aged WOman Knocked Into Tunnel
bg Car.

Mrs. Bessie st. John. sixty-three years old. Of
No. 374 West End-ave., widow Of Samuel r.
St. John, was killed yesterday by being thrown
into the rapid transit tunnel at Seventy-sev-
enth-st. and Broadway. The subway excava-
ton at that point is forty feet deep, and Mrs.
st. John was almost instantly killed. She was
struck by a. Broadway and Seventh-ave. surface

car had in turn been struck by Broadway and
Forty-second-st car. Edward Pierce. OF No

Mrs St John had been shopping. The car
she boarded was disabled by the burning out Of
fuse when it was in Broadway, near
Fiftieth-st. A Broadway and Forty -second-st
car pushed the disabled car up Broadway.
Seventy-seventh-st is what is known as a
fire stop" meaning that all cars must come to
a full stop before they cross the street, there
being a frehouse in that street. The tunnel at
that point has not been completed, and a wood
bridge has been built across the excavation
There is a roadway on this bridge, but pedes-
trians can cross only at the upper crossing. The
tunnel excavation is guarded by a single board
guard rail that extends on the north side of Sew
enty-seventh-st. far as the house line. If a
car goes beyond the corner there IS a space Of
only about one and a half feet vel 3, cen the car

Topeka, Kan July 6.-The water cure ad-

County harvest fields on Saturday night by four
negroes started a race which may make
necessary the calling out of State troops. Norton
worked last week in the fields with the negroes,

The negroes held Norton on his back and poured
water into his mouth, until he revealed the hid

ONCE 4 MURDER SUSPECT
NelHS ETOnerated IN Runnett Case
by COrOner'S JurY.

The recent disappearance of Albert A. Nellis
from his wife's real estate Office at No. 1850
Broadway, and the declaration of his wife that
she believes he was kidnapped, and that he is
being held for the payment OF debt recall the
arrest Of Albert A Nellis on December % 1885,
on the order of Coroner Hoeber, on suspicion of
having murdered Mrs. John Albert Runnett, of
No. 233 West Forty-ninth-st. Mrs. Runnett was
found dead in the areaway in front of Nellis's
house on Saturday night. December IS, 1895.
Nellis was exonerated by q coroner's jury on
January g. 1896.
1t was found that Mrs Runnett had died
from fracture of the skull from a blow on the
back of the head. and it was thought possible
for the injury to have been caused by fall
against the edge Of stone step, although the
surroundings did not seem to indicate that such
had been the case. In the bosom of the wom-
ans dress found razor and in her
pocket were some Whitish powders. The au-
topsy showed that she had not taken poison
and that she had been moderately addicted to
the use of liquor. The defence used the latter
fact in arguing that Mrs. Runnett fell down
the stoop accidentally.
Mrs. Runnett was the wife of John Albert
Runnett, at one time treasurer of Niblo's Gar
den. He was cripple and, with his wife. kept
a boarding house at No 233 West Forty-ninth-
ST. Nelis one Oft their poarders. year
and half before Nellis had married Mrs. S.
Blakeley, a wealthy widow and real estate
dealer at Broadway and Forty -seventh-st. and
went to live with her at No. 2ol west Seventy
SlAlQ-Sl.
II was said that Mrs. Runnett's boarding
house did not prosper. that she called ON Neliis
10 help her, and that she became more per
Sj=tent when he made many excuses, aAd WheA
she was found dead in front Of NellisS house the
