SIX KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
Thunderbolt Strikes Crowd at Coney
Island, and Five Lives Are Lost
Victim at Gravesend,

New York, July 31.-During a thnn-
derstorm of terrific intensity which
passed over New York and it's vicinity
five persons were struck by light
ming and instantly killed, and nine
were seriously injured at the Parkway
baths, Coney Island, At the same time
one man was killed and three others
prostrated at Gravesend beach.
The intense heat of the morning at
tracted great multitude to the shore
resorts, and late in the afternoon,
when the storm blew up from the west
ward the Parkway beach was thronged
with bathers and spectators. The rain
descended in torrents and hundreds of
men, women and children sought shell
ter under the big bathhouse, which is
elevated above the sand on piles. The
lightning was incessant, and terrific
thunderclaps shook the bathhoase, to
the terror of the crowd huddled to-
gether beneath it. A few minutes be-
for five o'clock a bolt struck the flag
staff and grounded in the very thickest
of the crowd. Nearly SO persons were
prostrated and the rest, screaming
with terror, rushed out into the storm.

PARLEY MAY NOT END WAR
Britain's Stand, Regarding Armis-
tice in Far Eastern Conflict,
Viewed with Alarm.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The optimism
which has surrounded the presidents
efforts TO bring about an early peace be-
tween Japan and Russia now has given
way to gloom of pessimism. In diplo.
matte and official circles here many de-
clare no armistice will be made, and the
best informed hold it will be at least q
year and possibly two years before the
war will come to an end.
The revelation that Great Britain
wants Japan to fight on has done more
than anything else to dishearten those
who expected settlement soon, with no
fighting in the interim. 1t is known
that Lord Lansdowne, while desiring
peace, wants Japan more completely to
rout Russia. so that at the end of the war
the Anglo-Japanese alliance may be re.
newed with a stronger scope than at
present. This will give the two nations
naval control of European waters, and
prevent the kaiser from barring foreign
battleships from the Baltic sea.

KOCH FOUND mot GUILTY."
Minnesota Dentist Freed from Mur-
der Charge-Case Was Most
Sensational.

Mankato, Mimi, Aug. 2.-The jury in
the third trial of DR.. George R. Koch,
charged with the murder of Dr. L. A.
Gebhardt, his brother dentist at New
Ulm, Mimi, on the night of November
1, 1904, Tuesday afternoon returned a
verdict of not guilty, after three hours
of deliberation.
The case has been a sensational one,
and has held the close attention of the
people of the northwest. DR.. Gebhardt
was found lying in a pool of blood on the
floor of his Office about ten o'clock at
night, his head crushed by blows of a
hammer. The most important witness
in the trials was Asa P. Brooks, editor
of the New Ulm Review. who heard
scutf1ing in DR.. Gebhardt's office, which
is directly over the editorial room of
the Review. and ran up the side stairs
to ascertain the cause. Not being able
to make an entrance. he peered through
the transom, and saw the murderer
standing over Gebhard's body. Brooks
testified that. although the murderer
turned and looked at him, he could not
recognize the man, but swore that it
was not Koch. The rest of the evidence
was purely circumstantial.

SUES HEADS OF EQUITABLE
State of New York Demands Return
Of Alleged Spoils-says Law
Is Defed.

New York, Aug. IAN attack of the
most sweeping character on the EQui-
table Life Assurance society, it's off,
GERS, directors and members of the ex-
ecutive and finance committees was
made by Attorney General Mayer in
the supreme court of New York county
Monday. All the charges of graft and
wrongdoing that have been made
against those in charge Of the society
are contained in his bill Of complaint,
which urges the restoration Of the
moneys of the society which have
found their way into the pockets of
men prominent in it's affairs and a
thorough housecleaning in all depart
ments.
The attorney general declares that
$1O,0OO,OOO of the surplus is being with
held from the policy-holders in defiance

policy-holders to divide the money
which has been kept from them so
long.

WILL REoRGANIZE BUREAU.
Secretary Wilson Decides to Over
haul Crop Statistics Division
Of His Department.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 1.-Secretary
Wilson will reorganize thoroughly the
crop statistics bureau of the depart
ment of agriculture, according to infor-
nation here. Already he is seeking
men of character, standing and educa-
tion to conduct the work of the bureau,
men in whom the farmers and growers
of the country will have implicit con-
fidence and who will place the reports
of the bureau on a standard of excel
lence never heretofore achieved. One
man he has found, although he does
not at this time wish to publish his
name. The other three he hopes to Sc
cure in short time. Two of them will
be southern men, and both will be ex-
perts in cotton and tobacco statistics.
This, in brief, is one of the ideas which
Secretary Wilson elucidated to Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
At the conclusion of his conference,
Secretary Wilson talked frankly about
some phases of the work in his depart
ment. He was asked whether there was
any likelihood of his early relinquish.
ment of his portfolio as secretary OF ag-
riculture, and he declared he had not the
slightest intention of resigning.
