German Murders Wife, Six Children Then
Himself,

St. Louis (SpeciaD,-August Krauss,
German farmer living FL miles west
of St. Louis, near Bellefontaine, killed
his wife and six children with sledge-
hammer. He then cut his own throat.
1t is believed Krauss suddenly be-
came insane. He had the reputation
among his neighbors OF being quiet,
inoffensive, industrious farmer, and nc
cause but insanity has been assigned.
Krauss placed the seven bodies side
by side on the floor i'll one room before
cutting his throat His body fell al
most in line with those of his victims
The dead are: August Krauss, So
years old, father and murderer; Mrs.
August Krauss, 81 years old, wife and
mother; Carrie, aged II; Amy, aged 9;
Philip, aged 7; George, aged 6; Mary,
aged 4, and baby boy, aged months.
In his more cheerful moments
Krauss frequently told his wife, neigh.
bors say, to keep all weapons out OF
his reach, as he feared in times of de-
spondency he might use them upon
himself or on her.

WORK OF The HURRICANE
Six Hundred Persons Lose Their Lives
on POum6tu Islands.
FINANCIAL LOSS EXCEEDS s5OO,OOO.
Relief Measures Have Been Instituted and
Everything Possible is Being Done at Apla
and Other Places In the Samoan Group to
Relieve the Sufferlngs of the Poumotu
islanders.

Papeete, March 4 (via San Francisco,
By Cable).-Tle latest intelligence rela-
tive to the typhoon in Tuamotu, or low
archipelago, indicates that the fatalities
will number Goo. The loss of property
will be $4,000. Relief measures have
been instituted. The typhoon and high
water lasted during January ID, IS and
I6. AT Hituera 377 deaths occurred, in
most instances among visitors from
other islands living there during the div
ing season. One hundred and forty-two
deaths are reported from six other small
Islands. In this report there is no record
of the known dead, and it is believed
that the total number of fatalities in the
entire archipelago was not less than 600.
On an isle south of Hikuera 262 natives
persisted, being swept into the lagoon
and again into the Great Sea, lacerated
terribly by the contact with rock, coral
and debris of all sorts. Upon some I'M
fortunate ones cocoanut trees fell, MAIN
ing or killing them outright or holding
them beneath the water, where they were
drowned
On the awful night Of January IS, in
the darkness and driving downpour OF
rain that sttlng their faces and naked
bodies, the parents tied their little chill
dren to their backs and sought safety.
Over their heads rolled the mighty wave,
and when the surges retreated the IN
fants and halfdroWned boys and girls
succumbed. The father and mother
vainly endeavored to retain the corpses
of their dead, and at length had to
abandon them. They tied themselves to
cocoanut trees, and some at last fell with
them; others escaped, clinging to trees
temporarily and at other times able to
catch hold of something else, and SO be-
tween the breakers reached safety after
many hours of hardship. About 20 ma
tives, including a young girl, swan
across the lagoon, and after five or SIX
hours battling with the waves succeeded
in landing safely OH the leeward side OF
the island Those who persisted in their
attempts, however, were far more mum
erous than those who succeeded. The
sea and the lagoon were as unsafe. by
reason of the debris floating on the SUR
face as was the ocean outside
The depth of the water in most parts
of the island was from IS to 20 feet, but
the meeting of the waves from the out
side and those forced across the lagoon
frequently made the flood much greater
in places. They found the natives weak
ened from virulent form of measles
that had become epidemic, otherwise
more might have been spared in the
struggle with the water. Those who SUR
vived were the ones who were able to
leave the main village and cross several
dangerous low stretches where the waves
washed into the lagoon, wading neck
deep, aiding one another and holding to
debris, and gradually withdrawing from
the danger to slightly more elevated
section on the north shore.

The English OYSTER.

1t affords us pleasure amid the citi-
cism recently directed against the Ger
man Emperor to find something in his
judgment and conduct to commend.
1t is therefore with genuine joy that
we learn from cable dispatch of his
order banishing the English oyster
from the imperial table. OF all the
bitter, copperish, unpalatable products
Of the sea the English oyster is entitled
to an odious pre-eminence. 1t is small
and devoid Of fairness. For all oyster
it is tough and indigestible. TO the
taste it suggests a diabolic compound
of quinine and corroded copper. 1t
has the appearance of diseased mus
sci, turned blue by long abstinence
from healthy diet or by defective di-
gestion.-Louisvill Courier-Journal

Many Americans would add no free

to scrofula and consumption, being

A telephone message was received
from Governor Aycock about 1
O'Clock Nov. 18th, by Sheriff Stew
ems and Chief of Police Freeman,
that it was reported in Raleigh that
a mob had been formed in Trenton
preceding afternoon and were on
their way to Goldsboro to lynch the
negro Alfred Daniel, who is now in
jail here under sentence of death for
the murder of Mr.. F. G.. Simmons,
the father Of Senator Simmons, Of
which offense he was convicted in
Trenton last week, The Governor in
structed the sheriff to notify the COM
mandant of both military companies
to be in readiness to call the men
together in case their services were
needed.
The necktic party did not arrive.
In fact, no one here expected them to
arrive. 1t seems that the report
started in Newbern and turned out
to be a mere hoax.
Besides the negro Daniel, who is
now under sentence of death it jail
here, there are two murderers
who have been sentenced to die that
have been confined in Wayne county
Jail for safe keeping. They are both
from Duplin county.
Dan Teachy is awaiting a decision
of the Supreme court under sentence
of death for the murder of Bob
Rivenbark near Wallace, last spring.
Teachey broke Jail in Kenansville
while waiting for trial and after
wards went in and gave himself up.
He stated to his lawyers that he
could prove an alibi and they ad-
Used him to give himself up, but
he failed IN his proof and was con-
victed.
George Daniel, who killed Will
Maxwell about two months ago, is
also confined in Jail here. Hetwas
convicted in DupIin Superior court
last week and sentenced to be hang
ed. He took an appeal to the Su-
preme court.
The crime for which Daniel is un-
der sentence of death is alleged to
have been committed because Max
well persisted in Visiting the home
of Daniels and paying attention to
the stepdaughter of Daniel after he
had been forbidden to do so. Daniel
was at work and shot him down
without warning.

w. u. BLACKWELL DEAD.
The Noted Pioneer of Durham's Big
Tobacco Interests Passes
Away.

Durham, N. c., Nov. 12.-At 11:45
tonight Colonel w. T. Blackwell
died, aged "a years. Colonel Black
well was stricken with paralysis
Sunday morning, and it was appar-
ent from the first that he could not
recover.
The deceased belonged to a very
large family. His mother, far adj
vanced in years, was with him when
he died. Two brothers and six sis
tiers are living. He leaves only one
child, w. r. Blackwell, who is civil
engineer of the city.
Colonel Blackwell has been called
the father of Durham. He was the
founder of the smoking tobacco in
dustry Of the city and was promi-
nently identified with the business
interests until his fortune was swept
away in a financial collapse that
swaruped a large number of business
houses and gave Durham a set back
from which it took a long time to
recover. Under CIeveland's last adj
ministration he wa postmaster.
Arrangements for the funeral have
not yet been made.
