DISHEARTENED MOTHER.
Takes the Lives of Her Three Children
 and Then Suicides.

Chicago, June 26.-Threatened with starvation and with her husband hope lessly insane in the asylum at Kanka- kee, Mrs. Ann Kelsdzick to-day gave up the struggle for existence and took the lives of herself and her three small children. The family lived in three small rooms from which they were lia- ble to be elected for non-payment of rent. It was after Mrs. Keelsdzick had been served with a summons to appear in court that she decided to end the lives of herself and little ones. The three children, Bruno, Herman and Walter, aged seven, five and two re- spectively, were found in bed locked in each others arms. The mothers lifeless body was found lying on the kitchen floor, while gas was escaping from a jet in the room.
 That the woman made every prepa- ration to do away with herself and children was evident. She first wrote and sealed a letter addressed to rel ative in Germany. Then she bathed herself and donned clean linen. Each child had also been given bath, clean night gowns placed upon them and the little ones sent to the sleep from which they would never awaken.

DROWNED OFF BRTDG EP0RT.
Boat Capsized by squalI and One of SIX
 Men Is Lost.

Bridgeport, June 26.-The heavy wind that accompanied the thunder storm that broke over this city this afternoon caused the drowing of John Cross of Waltham, Mass, three miles off the Bridgeport light. Cross was visiting here and with six other men took a sail early in the afternoon and were caught out in the storm. Their small sloop was capsized and all the men thrown in the water. Cross was unable to hold on and drowned in the sight of his companions. A steam canal boat on it's way from Bridgeport to New Haven picked the six men up, and later gave them over to the Captain of thu tug Arthur, which brought them to this city. Up to late hour tonight the body of Cross had not been re- covered. The men who were with Cross and who were saved were John Brown, Hans Groomberg, Oscar Ecklund Os- car Neighburg. Gus Ecklund and vic- tor Nelson. The sloop was towed into Bridgeport.

UNIQUE ROBBEKY.
Tramps Jump or Moving Train and
 Catch It Before It Passes.

Brewster. N. r., June 26.-A unique and successful robbery by two tramps took place here early this morning.
 George Wright of New York city was standing on the depot platform watch ing the approach of a freight train on the highland division Of the New York,
 New Haven and Hartford railroad on it's way to Hartford. After the engine and two or three cars had passed Wright two men, apparently tramps, jumped off the train, hit the bystander
 in the head with a sling shot, knocked him down, robbed him. and then board ed the train again, making their es- cape. The train was going slowly and the assault was committed so quickly, the men had plenty of time to hop on a rear car, leaving their victim with two ribs broken and almost unconscious on the platform. When he was found he could give no description of the men,
 but the fact of hes assault was tele- graphed to Hartford. The train was watched but the men escaped. They took small sum of money from Wright.

RUSSIA SURPRISING NEWS.
Result of Naval Engagement Not Given
 Official Explanation.

Official Explanation.
 St. Petersburg, June 26.-Up to to- night the Japanese report of the loss of three Russian ships at Port Arthur has authorities have allowed to be printed statement that the squadron had made sortie and also the news of the loss of Japanese torpedo boat destroy CTS. Some of the papers have even commented with satisfaction on the prospect of fight in the open sea. where the merits of the two fleets would be fairly tested.
 An official explanation of the sup pression of the Japanese report is that ' the admiralty is unwilling to unneces- sarily alarm the public by the circula- tion of such statements entirely on the authority of the enemy, and in the ab- sence of definite advices from the com mander at Port Arthur. It is also suggested as possible that there has been fight and that the Japanese |have minimized their own losses and hnagnified those of the Russians, with h view to affecting the new loan which it is understood Japan is nego- tiating.
 A general tension is evident in the city tonight. There are many rumors bhoat, and every one is realizing that most important news may be expect ed at any moment.
 It is reported that a serious land light has taken place near Ia Tche xiao, in which the Russians were de- eated, but no confirmation of this re- bort is obtainable.

NO WORD OF LOOMS.
Week Since His appearanee-Hopes
 That He VIII Turn Up.


 Paris, June 26.-Not word was re- ceived to-day regarding there where abouts of Kent J. Loomis, brother of Francis B. Loomis, American assistant secretary of state, who disappeared shortly before or after the arrival of the North German Lloyd steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. at Plymouth on June 20.
 Although midnight tonight marks a week since the disappearance of MT. Loomis, the officials still cling to the belief that he will turn up when the effects of his abstraction have worn off. Their belief is due to a careful deduc- tion from the series of circumstances |related by w. J. Ellis, his companion on board the steamer, and by Gustave Flamm, of San Francisco, who was a fellow passenger. This process of de- duction practically excludes the theory of foul play on board the Kaiser Will helm IT., and also excludes the likeli- hood that Loomis fell overheard. It Heads to the acceptance of Flamm' s statement that he saw Loonis get off lat Plymouth.
 Accordingly a minutely circumstan- tial description of Loomis has been for warded to Joseph Stephens, American consul at Plymouth.
 Although thus satisfied that Loomis was not lost from the Kaiser Wilhelm H., the officials foresee, the possibility that some harm may have befallen him |after he landed at Plymouth. However, they consider this possibility rather re- mote. Nevertheless, the complete ab- |sence of clues after week of continued effort to find MT. Loomis makes the case one of increasing mystery.

CORNELL LOSES STROKE.
Captain Coffin Compelled to Enter 7
 Private Sanitarium.

Private Sanitarium.
 Poughkeepsie, N. Y.. June 26.-Cap- tain Coffin of the Cornell crew. ac-
 companied by Manager Aldrich, came to this city to-day and entered a pri- vate sanitarium, where he is confined
 this evening to bed with fever His trouble is nothing more than serious malaria, but his condition is such that
 It will be matteer of days, if not
 weeks, before he can leave the hospital. Coffin stroked the victorious Cornell i eight last year. He stroked the crew
 the early part of this year, and was
 regarded as one of the strongest and most finished oarsmen in the boat. 1 Coffin has fought manfully to keep up, and ever since he collapsed last Thurs
 day evening he has been hoping each 1 day to be able to renew the next. This morning his condition was even worse than yesterday. and at the suggestion i of Coach Courtney he consented to go
 to the hospital. The coach says that
 the two substitutes brought from Itha-
 ca are not available and that he has
 no alternative but to have two men row in two races. He must either do this or withdraw the four oar crew, and
 the coach is determined to have Cornell start in every race In winch she has en- 1 tered a crew The Cornell coach is confident the two men he has selected for this task are abundantly able to
 perform it. They are Edward Foote, | who was trained to stroke the folIr land his Cousin, George Foote, who rows No. in the big eight. Edward Twill take Coffin's seat at No. 2 in the
 varsity eight and George will row at No. 3 in the four in place of Forbes. who is in Vassar hospital, convalescing
 from blood poisoning. As the four oar
 race is set for p. m. and the eight oar at 6 o'clock, the young men will have nearly two hours rest between races.

FIRE ON GROWN STREET,
EXTREME HEAT CAUSES SPoN-
 FAMOUS COMBUSTION

Ten Horses With Difficulty Rescued
 from Barn of Miner, Read .S Garrette
 Last Night - Surrounding struc-
 lures Have Narrow Escape--Firemen
 Have Exciting Experience-Thous-
 ands of spectators---Ilos $2,O00.
 Surrounded by three large buildings, the barn of Miner Read & Garrette. the wholesale groeers on State street, was completely gutted by fire early last evening. The barn is located quite Ia distance back from the street on Crown street, between State and Dr. ange streets. It is surrounded on. three sides by the Leader building. the barn of James D. Dewell and the c. S. Mer- sick warehouses.
 The barn is a two-story brick struc- ture, with a slate roof, and it is believ- ed that the fire was started by sponta- neous combustion as it stated among the baled hay which was piled on the top floor up to the roof.
 The fire was first discovered by a number of people passing, who saw the flames shooting out of the windows of the top floor. The department was quickly summoned and the work of res- cuing the horses inside commenced. Owing to the fact that the whole lower floor was by this time filled with smoke and burning wood the work was diffi- cult but the ten horses were finally brought out i'll safety
 When the firemen arrived the whole interior of the barn was in flames and several streams of water were poured into 1t.
 No. 2's company got a stream on the roof, with three men on top of the burning building holding it. Owing to the steepness of the roof and the fact that the slating was covered with water it was with the greatest difficulty that they were able to maintain their foot ing. In fact, at one time the hose swung the three men all around on the iOVi uiiN liiCy HALLWAY CoIdpGQ DSlli5 dashed to the ground, extra help arriv- ing just in time to capture and assist in holding the truant hose.
 After nearly two hours work the fire was extinguished before it had ignited the surrounding buildings It was stat ed last night that had there been a strong breeze blowing owing to their nearness some of the surrounding buildings would surely have caught fire.
 It was stated last night that the damage would amount to $2,000 and that it was practically covered by in surance, although it is probable that it may be a lesser amount.
 Owing to the central location of the fire several thousand people quickly focked there and it was with difficulty that the police kept the crowds back, although they were helped by the suf- locating smoke which filled the street.
 There was some talk last night of the fire being of incendiary origin, but the fire authorities believe that it is d case of spontaneous combustion, caused by the extreme heat of yesterday.

LYNCHED IN PUBLIC SQUARE
LITTLE GIRL VICTIM PLACES MOOSE ABOUT NEGRO,S NECK.

 and She Leads the Animal from Un-
 der Hi,n-Oyer 5000 Persons Witness
 the Hanging-StroDg Sentiment for
 Burning Overcome.
 Memphis, Tenn, June 26.-A special to the Commercial Appeal from Europa, Miss. says:
 Starling Dunham negro, wanted on the charge of criminally assaulting the 16-year old daughter of John Wilson, a white man, near Bellefontaine, two weeks ago, and attempting to criminal ly assault three young ladies named Dunn near this city, on the same day. was hanged in the public square here to-day by a mob. The moose was placed about the negro's neck by the little Will son girl, who positively identified him as her assailant. The negro was then placed on the back of a large black horse and at a signal from the leader of the mob the girl led the horses from under him. Over 5000 persons, white and black witnessed the hanging. The lynching was as orderly as a. legal exc cution. Alter being assured that the negro was dead, the mob cut down the body al>( turned it over to relatives for burial.
 Dunham was captured Friday near Vienna, Ala, after a running chase during which he was wounded twice. He was brought here by the sheriff of this (Wilson) county. A large mob met the train at the depot and an effort was made to get the negro, but the off, cers spirited him away and carried him to the jail at Waltham, six miles from here, where he was again met by mob of determined men, who said their in- tention was to burn him. The officers in charge of the negro succeeded fin prevailing upon the mob to give up this intention, but only after promising to deliver the negro to the mob this morn- ing for execution.
 There was a strong sentiment for burning, but this was overcome and the lynching took the form of a hanging. Durham stoutly maintained his inno- cence to the last and denied that he had ever seen the Wilson girl. He admit ted having visited Dunn's place, but denied any bad motive. His last re- marks made to two hundred negroes who were assembled about the place of execution, Dunham telling them never to go about white mans house when women were at home alone.
 The three Dunn sisters, the eldest of whom Is less than eighteen. witnessed the lynching from distance.
