cago Wife Murderer.

Chicago, Feb. 9.-The supreme court
OF Illinois in Springfield Thursday adj
mlnistered the last legal death blow to
the hopes of Johann Hoch, wife muir
derer. The petition of his attorneys
for rehearing of his appeal was de-
cided against him, the motion for re-
hearing and the affidavits of his wife,
Amelia Fischer Hoch, being stricken
from the files. Unless Gov. Deneen
gives another reprieve, Hoch will be
hanged February %. The supreme
court at the last term denied Hoch a
new trial in the lower court and fixed
the date of his execution. His lawyers
came forward with a motion for re-
hearing and in support offered several
affidavits Two were from his wife,
Amelia Fischer Hoch. In the first she
said she knew that her sister, for
whose death Hoch was to hang had
been afflicted with kidney trouble. In
the other Mrs. Hoch swore that she
had testified falsely at the trial OF her
husband and that she had been intim-
idated by the states attorney until in
fear of her own safety and life she
had given the testimony as he had de-
manded Appeal to the governor is not
likely to be successful Gov. Deneen
twice reprieved Hoch that he might
get his case before the supreme court.

AWFUL MINE DISASTER.
Explosion in West Virginia Colliery-
Six Men Known to Be Dead
Death List May Reach 90.

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. AT least
% men are supposed to have met
death in a terrible mine explosion in
the Parall mine of the Stewart Golfers
company near Oakhill. Thirty-nine
men were employed in the mine and
only II have escaped alive. At mid
night six bodies had been recovered
near the mouth of the mine, and it is
certain that all the others in the mine
are dead. The explosion occurred at
1:30 o'clock in the afternoon and was
caused by a pocket of gas which was
struck in fault in the mine. The eX-
plosion was terrific and it is thought
that many of the miners were killed
outright by the explosion. The sys-
tenn of fans was completely wrecked by
the explosion and all air was shut off
from the mine, leaving the men who
had not been killed by the explosion to
smother to death. The mine is a shaft
mine about 700 feet deep and the I'M
fortunate miners had little chance of
escape.
Charleston, w. Va, Feb. 13.-Twen-
ty-one bodies have been recoy cred
from the Parral mine, in Fayette
county, and it is supposed that only
one body remains 10 be recovered,
making the total fatalities 20,

URGES MILITARY MEASURES.
Secretary Root Sees Danger to Amer
leans IN Attitude of Chinese
Government

Washington, Feb. 13.-While not re-
garding an antiforeign uprising in
China as exactly imminent, Secretary
Root is convinced that it is his duty
to pursue the course he has already
outlined for the protection of Ameri-
can life and property in China. He
has not hesitated to express this view
to his congressional callers. Advices
from the orient are disquieting from
this fact, that it is clearly established
that the Chinese government, while
not perhaps actually aiding the devel-
opment of this anti-foreign sentiment,
has not eXerted itself to prevent the
spread of the anti-American boycott,
Notwithstanding the publication of nu-
merous proclamations by the viceroys
30 Mr.. Root will continue to urge up
on Secretary Taft the adoption Of
proper military precautions to meet the
policy of preparation for any emer-
gency that may arise.

RIOT IN CHURCH.
Priest Attacked-Police Forced to Fire
on Mob-Four Shot and Many
Others Hurt.

Chicago, Feb 13.-Four persons
were shot and half a hundred others
were injured in a church riot at Union
and Eighteenth streets Sunday at
noon. A mob of nearly 1000 persons,
crying for vengeance on Father Stef
anowicz, pastor of the Lithuanian Ro-
man Catholic Church of the Provi
dence of God, attacked the parish
house, shattered the windows and
front door and battled savagely for
nearly an hour with more than 100
policemen. When the mob was final
ly routed the drug stores and doctors
offices in the vicinity were filed with
persons having wounds dres sed, and Is
persons were locked in cells at the
Maxwell and Canalport police stations.
The riot was the climax of trouble
that has been brewing for six weeks,
because of the opposition of large
faction of the church to the priest and
to two new trustees recently appointed
by Archbishop Quig,ey, under the
rules adopted lately by the Chicago
archdiocesan synod.
