THINGS QUIET DOWN.
Evansville, Ind, July 6.-This city is
quiet today and there are no signs of
the mob violence that agitated the citi-
zens all of last night. Business is NOV
ing in the even tenor of it's way. A trip
in the business section reveals that
much damage was done to numerous
stores, especially to the hardware
houses, many of which were entered and
robbed of guns and ammunition. Thou
SanQS OIL ShOtS were fired during the
night, but so far as learned no one was
killed although numbers of people are
said to have been wounded.
Several negroes were caught by mobs
and almost beaten to death before the
police could save them.
The chief demonstration of the night
was an attack upon the county Jail be-
tween 10 and 1 o'clock Several thous-
and men crowded the street before the
building. and finally obtained entra nee
through the fortified gates to the yard
where they began to batter the windows
of the Jail. Efforts to prevent this were
futile. and the crowd held sway, the
police of the city being occupied with
holding the sightseers from invading the
front part of the building and ransack-
ing the sheriff's residence.
After the mob was thoroughly salts
fled that Lee Brown, the murderer of
Patrolman Massey, was not in the
building, they separated into squads of
40 or so and paraded the downtown
streets until daylight, shooting promis-
cuously and visiting the negro quarters

UGLY RUMORS DENIED.
Pome, July s, s:25 a. m.--In vatican
circles there seems to be dissa tisfaction
because of the rumors in circulation to
the effect that those in authority. in
stead of preventing the pope from over
taxing his falling strength. have for
their own purposes urged him. contrary
TO his physicians advice to further ex-
ertion. It has been hinted that those
who might be eligible candidates for
the chair of St. Peter would not have
many regrets should the way be left
open without more delay and that, re-
gardless OF the pontiff's 5 feebleness. they
worked upon the harmless, natural pride
in the vigor of his constitution and
venerable age to encourage him to pre-
side at the two recent consistOries, as
well al to undertake numerous recep-
tions of pilgrims and other visitors to
the Eternal City, Notwithstanding the
precarious condition of his health since
the operation of 1899, which had grown
much worse during the last few
months.
Under the circumstances, such tnS1n-
uations are energetically repudiated by
those concerned.

AS the pope objected to having the

Two large gangs of men worked all
day Saturday in North Topeka under
Street Commissioner Snyder Most of
the men have been kept working open
ing streets through town in various di-
rections, draining water holes and fill
ing some of them. One gang has been
busy constantly on Kansas avenue

piled there from cellars.

a hundred loads of soft mud are remov-
ed every day and has to be hauled away
by the street force to keep the avenue
open. In another week Commissions
Snyder thinks he will be able to put all
the men to cleaning off the streets in
the residence part of town. Such work
will make itself shown more rapidly
than will that which has occupied the
street gangs up till the present time.

CAN'T KEEP HIM IN BED.
Science Has Done All That 1t Can for
Hun.

Berlin. July 6.-The Lokal Anzeiger's
correspondent at Rome reports an in
terview which he has had with DR..
Mazzoni and quotes him as saying:
The bulletins tell the unvarnished
truth. The pope's condition effectively
considered is hopeless An illness like
the ropes at his great age must in
evitably lead to death. The popes or
ganism, however. is abnormally strong
and tough, which can do miracles.
Nevertheless science can do nothing
more"
The Tageblatt's Rome correspondent
telegraphs that it is impossible to keep
the pope in bed and adds that nobody
ventures to prevent him from getting
up.
MUST NOT STOP EATING.

Temps from Rome says the doctors who
are attending the pope informed the
vatican official confidently this morn

ment hourly he may last for some time,
but that if he abstains from doing so
for only three hours all will be over.

and to pay no attention to what is
passing outside. the pope refuses to
abandon paI ticipation in what is going
on. He said smilingly to Dr. Lapponi:

of your affection for me but either my
last day is rapidly approaching, in
which case 1 must employ all the time
which is left to me so far as l can, or
else l shall recover, again postponing
the end If this is the will of the AL
mighty nothing can change it,
The pope wished his arm chair to be
carried near his writing able and then

carriages, the pope said: The piazza

CORNICE FELL ON Them
Arthur Dahlene Fatally Injured
Two Others Hurt.

The fall of a heavy cornice at the
Continental creamery this morning
severely injured two men and q boy, one
of them fatally.
A third story is being added to the
creamery building, and the scaffolding
used by the Workmen overhangS the
entrance to the building. While the men
were at work a piece of cornice was dis
lodged and fell striking the scaffolding.
Arthur Dahlene of 215 Taylor street,
a workman, is probably fatally injured.
His head was crushed, beside internal
injuries. Frank Rossetler, a Western
Union messenger boy, who lives at Az
East Eighth avenue, was struck on the
head and seriously injured. He had
cry office. Ralph Chute of 212 Tyler
street was injured, but not seriously.
His head was cut by the falling cornice.

broke the fall, struck the men who had
not time to get out of the way
Rossetler and Dahlene were taken to
Christ hospital. and it is believed that
Dahlene will die.
DR.. H. H. Keith. surgeon for the Con-
tinental Creamery company, completed
the surgical operations on the three
victims of the accident a o'clock. He
found it necessary to trephine the skulls
of both Rossetler and Dahlene, the two
boys who were injured. Pieces of the
skull over two inches in diameter were
removed in both cases, and both are in
a critical condition. The Dahlene boy
was struck on the top of the head, and
Rossetler on the side, just above the
left ear. 1t is not known yet whether
the boys have any chance for recovery
