ings He Fired.

Lorain, o. .(SpeciaD .-Peter Pitts, the
Avon maniac who has been terrorizing
the inhabitants of this county, killed
himself when he found that capture was
at hand.
Sheriff Salisbury and posse had been
following the maniac all night.
Pitts started for the home OF his
grandfather, Lessen, at French Creek.
Lessen refused to give him shelter, and
informed the sheriff.
A posse of 100 men secured the
country in Avon township all the morn
ing for Pitts.
Pitts was heavily armed.
The members of the posse were armed
with revolvers and rifles.
Pitts was charged with setting fire to
two houses. The buildings were de-
stroyed and the occupants barely escaped
with their lives.
When they ran out of the building
Pitts shot at them from thicket.
Since then he was accused of having
attempted to wreck the Toledo Limited
on the Lake Shore electric railway by
piling ties on the track.
The maniac had also attempted to kill
several women and children by shooting.
When he found escape cut off in every
direction, Pitts fired two shots into his
head.

MANY VICTIMS OF BOMB
Exploded Among Holiday Makers at
Barcelona.
CONE WAS COVERED WITH CEMENT.
A Panic Ensued and the Air Was Rent
With the Shrieks and Groans Of the Vic.
tins, Who Numbered Between 40 and oo,
Including one Woman Killed and Five Per-
sons MORALLY Wounded.

Barcelona, (By Cable).-A bomb ex-
ploded with terrific force on the Marine
Parade, which was thronged with holi-
day makers.
A panic ensued and the air was rent
with the shrieks and groans of the VIC
tins.
Twenty-one persons, including one
woman, were killed and five others were
mortally wounded.
The bomb was conical in shape and
was covered with cement.
The perpetrator of the outrage is I'M
known. One witness states that child
was seen to deposit bomb at the foot
of tree. Another version was that
the bomb was placed at the foot OF
tree in the afternoon and that the man
who was seen to place it there was in
jured by its premature explosion.
After the explosion Panama hats, par
asols and wearing apparel were found
strewn about, and here and there were
pools of blood The detonation was
heard throughout the city and the force
of the explosion threw coachman from
the seat of his carriage so yards away.
The bomb was filled with nails and scrap
IRON
A workman covered with blood while
running away from the scene was pur-
sued by a mob which believed him to be
responsible for the outrage, and being
caught was nearly lynched. The man
was taken to hospital, where he de-
MED he had exploded the bomb.

BALLOONIsT BLOWN TO PIECES.
BalIoonist's Frighiful Death High Up 10 the
Clouds.

Greenville, O., (SpeciaD Prof. A.

atoms by the explosion of six sticks of
dynamite in his balloon while 1900 feet
in the air. His wife and two children
were in the crowd of $4,000 persons who
saw the calamity
Baldwin had been giving daily exhibit
tons at the county fair. He would as
cend several thousand feet in the air
and explode half a dozen sticks OF dyna-
mite at different times. Thursday ne
had mounted 1900 feet in the air and his
airship was soaring gracefully. While
the crowd was watching him there ap-
peared in the sky where the airship had
been a great cloud of smoke. A few
seconds later there came down a great
report from the clouds, the smoke OBJ
scured the view and fragments of the
airship began falling. Baldwin had lit
orally been blown to bits by the explo-
sion. His body was picked up over
space of several acres and removed to a
morgue.
Baldwin's wife screamed when she
saw the smoke, long before the explo-
sion, for her practised eye told her of the
tragedy which had occurred in the clouds.
She fell in a dead faint before the vast
crowd had realized what was happening
No one can tell how the accident oc-
Cured. The six sticks of dynamite ex-
ploded simultaneously, as only one re-
port was heard. Mems faces blanched
and women tainted as the fragments OF
the ship and the aeronaut's body fell.
Baldwin was from Losantville, Ind,
and was sc years of age. He had been
engaged for long while in giving bal
loon and airship exhibitions at county
fairs.

Christian, was roasted alive in Union
street here by another boy named Nc

the clothes of young Christian and then
applied lighted match. LIS,
Christian was playing in the street
with several other boys when McLain
walked up swinging gasoline can.
After twice threatening to roast the
Christian boy alive, he finally made
his word good. He unscrewed
the cap of the can, rushed upon
Christian and drenched him from head
to foot with gasoline. Before the un-
fortunate lad could get away he touched
a lighted match to his trousers, which
were soaked with gasoline. Instantly the
boy was enveloped in flames. He fell to
the ground screaming in agony and fight
ing the fire. Many persons ran to the
rescue, and succeeded in extinguishing
the flames. Every stitch of clothing
was burned from young Christians
back The boy will die.
